Property tax hike of about two per cent likely Missed garbage day? There’s an alert for that

BACKING THE PACK
Two-year-old Logan Seguin clowns around with Thompson Rivers University mascot Wolfie during the weekend’s U Sports men’s soccer championship at Hillside Stadium. TRU emerged with the bronze medal.
Preliminary numbers suggest Kamloops taxpayers could see a property tax increase of less than one per cent — but in the early stages of budget talks, that number will likely climb. “It’s a fluid number,� Mayor Ken Christian said. “[The] final number is going to come down to decisions we make around here.� Kamloops city council got a look at the 2018 provisional budget on Tuesday at city hall. The first of several budget meetings, it came in advance of public consultation on Nov. 21 at Sandman Centre. City finance director Kathy Humphrey touted “better oversight� by city department managers for offsetting rising costs beyond the city’s control, such as growth and increasing rates, as well as lower debt as reasons the city can look ahead and save money for future asset maintenance. To maintain city operating costs — essentially the status quo at city hall — preliminary data suggest property taxes would rise by .96 per cent. That number comes, however, before council decides on recommendations to set aside funds for future maintenance to Sandman Centre and other
The city’s waste-management department is familiar with a certain phone call. “Most of the time, the conversation goes something like this,� said the city’s streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow. “‘My garbage was missed. ‘OK, when was your garbage put out?’ ‘Oh, ah.’� A new online initiative by the city aims to remind homeowners of the time and day on which their garbage and recycling is collected. Residents can go online to kamloops.ca/garbage/index.shtmsl, enter their address and set reminders via text message, email, phone call, Outlook, Google calendar or Apple iCal. Users simply select the preferred notification method, along with the day and time on which they would like to be reminded of their respective garbage day. Reminders can be sent out on the day of or day before garbage and recycling collection, The scheduling reminder also includes a search tool for those who are unsure whether an item can be recycled. — Jessica Wallace
city arenas, roads and roofs and for additional police officers. Kamloops RCMP will present to council on that issue later this month. City staff, meanwhile, has recommended council set aside $90,000 for heat exchange equipment at Sandman Centre, $175,000 for arena maintenance, $200,000 for road maintenance and an undetermined amount for roof maintenance to city buildings in coming years. “If you need a new roof, how do you plan to pay for it?� Christian asked. “You’re going to go to the bank and borrow the money or

you’re going to say I’m going to need a new roof over the next five years, so I’m going to start saving $2,000 a year and I’ll have $10,000 in five years, so those are competing philosophies and we need to sort of sort out that.� If those line items are approved around the horseshoe, residents would see a tax increase of 1.93 per cent, or about $40 for a house assessed at $300,000 in 2018. Supplemental items — a wish list from the community and city departments — could further bump the increase. See PUBLIC, A7

Online threats lead to search of home MOUNTIES HAVE PERSON OF INTEREST AFTER WALMART EVACUATED MONDAY TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Police have identified a potential suspect in their investigation into online threats that prompted the evacuation of a Kamloops big box store earlier this week. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said Mounties executed a search warrant at the home of a “subject of interest” in their probe into threats directed at shoppers at Walmart on Monday. The store was evacuated and closed for a period of hours after two threats were posted to a Kamloops Facebook group.
“Numerous electronic devices were seized as part of the search warrant and the information stored on these devices will help police determine if this subject was involved in the threat,” Shelkie said. The investigation is ongoing. The two threats were posted on Monday, one minute apart, on the Kamloops Anonymous Confession Page V 2.0. The threats have since been removed. The page is a repository for people to post confessions anonymously, but every post submitted is first reviewed by a moderator before being published online.
Page administrators are known as ToMKaT and Stella, neither of whom have responded to KTW messages asking how and why the threats were reviewed and published. The pair posted the following to the page after Walmart was evacuated: “As much as we did not want to post these, it was decided that we should to show you what sort of crap that gets submitted. I feel the need to give an explanation as people are wondering “WTF were these posted??” Well, you know why certain things don’t get posted. That is all I am going to say on the matter. -ToMKaT and ~Stella.”

Thompson Rivers University now has take-home Naloxone kits available for students and staff through the campus wellness centre. Training sessions will be provided for those who wish to learn how to use the overdose-reversal drug. Chelsea Corsi, coordinator of the centre, said the university received approval for the program from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCDC) after consultations with nursing faculty, the Interior Chemical Dependency Office, Interior Health Harm Reduction and Interior Mental Health and Substance Use. The BCDC has designated TRU a dispensing site for the kits which contain Naloxone, a drug that can temporarily halt an opioid overdose, ideally long enough for first responders to arrive and begin treatment.

Manslaughter charge in death The Crown has reduced the charge against a Kamloops man accused of stabbing an acquaintance to death last year in a Valleyview motel. Prosecutors have filed a new charge of manslaughter against Gordon Camille, 65, who has been in custody since his arrest following the Jan. 26, 2016, slaying of Dennis Adolph. Camille had origi-
nally been charged with second-degree murder. Adolph, 49, was found dead inside a suite at the 4 Seasons Motel. Camille’s preliminary hearing was held in November 2016 and his three-week trial before a B.C. Supreme Court judge is slated to begin on Jan. 29.

A Kamloops man who overdosed on a sedative street drug while driving on the TransCanada Highway between Dallas and Pritchard has avoided jail. But Roald Daniel Van Der Merwe, 26, will spend six months living under strict courtordered conditions after pleading guilty in Kamloops provincial court Tuesday to one count of dangerous driving. Court heard police received multiple reports of an erratic driver eastbound on the TransCanada Highway near Pat Road on the afternoon of Nov. 28, 2016. When a police officer caught up to the vehicle, she observed it “slaloming” between lanes and fluctuating in speed

sought jail time if not for Van Der Merwe’s lack of a criminal record. Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen said Van Der Merwe tried GHB — also known as the daterape drug — for the first time a short time before the highway demolition derby. “He’s fully aware of how lucky he was that no one was injured,” Jensen said. “He’s been entirely sober since.” Van Der Merwe apologized in court. “I highly regret what happened and I understand that my substance abuse problem has taken a lot of things from me,” he said. “I’m very happy to know nobody was injured.” In addition to the conditional sentence order, Van Der Merwe will also be bound by a one-year driving ban.

between 5 km/h and 80 km/h. After five minutes, police called off the pursuit. Van Der Merwe’s vehicle, a Jeep, continued along the highway and drove through a construction zone, knocking over 14 pylons and striking equipment. The Jeep left the roadway a short time later, slamming into the concrete divider and then veering into the ditch. The RCMP constable approached the vehicle when she arrived at the scene of the crash. “There was no odour of alcohol on the driver’s breath, but he did have vomit on his lap,” Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo said, noting doctors gave Van Der Merwe two doses of Naloxone at Royal Inland Hospital.

A Kamloops-area rancher will spend 30 days on house arrest and won’t be allowed to drive for a year after a drunken crash on the Trans-Canada Highway and blood-alcohol readings described by a judge as “shocking.” Ross Gabriel Timothy McNab,
59, pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court Tuesday to an impaired driving charge. McNab was arrested following a T-bone crash on the TransCanada Highway near Savona on May 6. Court heard he subsequently blew blood-alcohol readings of .270 and .280 — more than three times the legal limit to drive. “It’s frankly shocking,”
Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison said. In addition to McNab’s 30-day conditional sentence order and one-year driving ban, Harrison levied a $1,000 fine and suggested he seek counselling for alcoholism. “Those readings are alarming and suggest you may have a problem,” Harrison said. “I’ll leave that up to you.”

Operation Red Nose back in action for 2017 Yes, it’s a late “night, but you go home

After 40 years in the River City, Mayor Ken Christian thought he knew the town but, last year, when he first volunteered for Operation Red Nose, he learned some more. “It was an amazing experience,” he said. “You get an opportunity to meet some really interesting people, go to some really interesting places, drive some really interesting cars and you make sure that people get home safely.” Last year, Christian was one of 225 volunteers who signed up as designated drivers to provide a safe ride home for Kamloops residents out on the town. “Yes, it’s a late night, but you go home feeling like you’ve really contributed to the city,” he said. Beginning on Friday, Nov. 24, callers to the service can request a driver by calling Operation Red Nose at 250-320-0650. Users of the service are driven home in their own vehicles, with a Red Nose pilot vehicle following, and are asked to make a donation to PacificSport Interior BC. Katie Klassen, Operation Red Nose co-ordinator with PacificSport Interior BC, said the event is able to expand this year thanks to support from sponsors and volunteers. Last year, the event ran for 15 nights, providing 1,241 rides home and raising $33,000, making Kamloops No. 1 in the province for the program. “We had such a great year,” Klassen said. “Always like to brag about that.” This year, volunteers will cover 18 nights of safe rides home beginning

So far, the organization has 75 volunteers on board and is hoping — and expecting — that number to balloon to 250 before drivers hit the road. Part of the funding will go directly into the pockets of local athletes travelling to national competitions, such as hammer thrower Lauren Stuart, who this past summer won bronze at the Canadian Track and Field Championships in Ottawa. She also took home the silver at this year’s Francophone Games in Africa. Next year, Stuart, who has been in Kamloops for three years, plans on competing at the NACAC track and field championships and will rely on PacificSport for support. To date, the sport development organization has raised $257,000 for athletes who are going to national championships and an additional $52,000 for coaches. “It’s wonderful. I can’t be more thankful,” Stuart said. Those interested in volunteering can contact Klassen by phone at 250320-0650 or by email at kklassen@ pacificsport.com.

From Costco to recycled asphalt, savings are adding up JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
City of Kamloops managers have been working to reduce costs within their departments in big and small ways — from upgrading and finding more efficient technology to contracting out services and shopping at Costco. As part of initial budget talks on Tuesday, department managers identified to Kamloops council ways in which they have tried to make departments more efficient. “We’ve had a lot of people who have been with the city for a long time and know things really well,” said the city’s finance director Kathy Humphrey. “And I think once managers and the supervisors started asking them, what do you think? They had good ideas. So the way we were doing things wasn’t necessarily the best way and we’re seeing some financial benefits from it.” The city’s development and engineering services department found $800,000 in savings in the 2018 budget. “There’s been some substantial savings,” said director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski. More than half of
that came in the way of transit savings due to compressed natural gas buses, which helped save more than $460,000, mostly in fuel and maintenance costs. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian called the efforts “commendable.” “There was a number of savings within the transit system, there was a number of savings with consultants and also process improvements within the DES operation,” he said. Meanwhile, other city initiatives are smaller, but add up to offset rising costs beyond the city’s control, such as ICBC, natural gas and fuel rate increases, Humphrey said. City streets manager Glen Farrow detailed ways in which his department has found to save money, These include purchasing cooking oil from Costco, which is cheaper than products previously used to clean stencils for painting images on city streets. Other costs savings efforts include: • Public works cut a city construction testing lab and contracted out services; • Capital construction produces its own gravel using recycled concert and asphalt; • The city’s parks and recreation department has been testing cold
water flooding of Brock Arena and may expand to other arenas ($15,000 in savings);
• Decommissioning the city greenhouse to purchase seedlings from commercial growers
($50,000 in savings). Asked whether quality of city services have been impacted by the
“I think in lots of cases, the services are actually better,” she said.

Some items on which council will need to decide upon this year include: a HAZMAT response team for Kamloops Fire Rescue and an outdoor skating rink in Riverside Park. Christian said he has heard from Kamloops residents who are feeling the pinch, particularly seniors and those on a fixed income, due to cost of living increases. “I don’t necessarily think it’s going to be a good year for those that are promoting some of those supplemental items,” Christian said. “I don’t see a lot of room to accommodate them at this point.” In 2017, Kamloops property taxes increased by 2.67 per cent. Kamloops’ property tax increases in the last decade have outstripped the rate of inflation by more than 50 per cent. The Bank of Canada’s inflation calculator puts the rise in the Consumer Price index since 2007 at about 16 per cent. The Nov. 21 public budget meeting will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Valley First Lounge at Sandman Centre.

ELECTION DONOR LIMITS WELCOME
T
he provincial government’s bid to limit municipal political donations is long overdue. Legislation tabled earlier this month by Municipal Affairs Minister Selina Robinson would prohibit corporate and union donations to political candidates and local slates. Further, it would cap political donations in the municipal political arena to $1,200 per person, per year. And — importantly — it would come into effect before voters head to the civic polls next fall. Anything that would take big money out of the local political landscape cannot come too soon. It is an egregious elephant in the room of local politics, not because it guarantees wrongdoing, but because it offers the perception of it at one point or another. And perception, as many have learned, is often as important as fact in politics. To permit large-scale donations as accepted practice in local politics is virtually an open invitation for accusations, regardless of how baseless they may be. No matter how pure in motive politicians are, no matter how much they believe they are pursuing the best interests of the average taxpayer, there is no way that large-scale contributions cannot be influenced by some sense of indebtedness. It is simply human nature to view with friendliness a proposition that comes from a known supporter. It can encourage a process of rationalization in which politicians may well believe they are acting for the good of the community. But such rationalizations can also be the beginnings of the proverbial slippery slope in which worthy objectives are subtly compromised. Cynics, of course, will observe there will be ways around the proposed limits — that the rules may encourage shadow slates of candidates and more devious routes for funneling money into campaigns. But it’s time clear lines are drawn, if only so we can see all the more clearly when they are being overstepped.

With the boys on the bus
E
nough time has passed that the boys on the bus can retain their anonymity — and I can offer a glimpse into life riding back and forth from Kamloops to the cancer clinic in Kelowna. It’s an amazing service provided to the city by the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and the Yukon — an organization most of us know simply as the Freemasons. They run three of the travel programs, one each on the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and from Kamloops to the Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Centre for the Southern Interior, located next door to Kelowna General Hospital. For most of August, I had the pleasure of being the only female and the youngest patient — and I qualify for seniors’ discounts at Denny’s and Nature’s Fare, among other places — to make that round-trip Mondays to Fridays. Hence the nickname of the boys on the bus, a great crew of guys also grappling with cancer at various stages and with different prospects for recovery. You’d think it would be a serious, sombre ride, but pretty much every day the conversation was light, lively and rarely about our individual diagnoses. The reality of prostate cancer, however, was acknowledged almost daily as many of the guys consumed copious amounts of water to ensure their radiation treatments worked without other parts getting in the way. Let’s just say I know where most public washrooms are between the Dallas truck stop all the way along Highway 97 to the doors of the clinic. One favourite stop was the

Street
LEVEL 7-Eleven in Vernon, which provided the much-needed relief and an opportunity to fill up again or grab something to eat. From now on, I am going to smile every time we might have cause to drive by it. I also learned about shortcut routes to get to Kelowna quicker, or to at least avoid its traffic, a good piece of information for those future trips in that direction. Books were a favourite conversation topic, likely because one of our more gregarious passengers was a retired teacher who now has the time to read what he wants to, rather than what he needed to for class preparation. He is also a music buff, so we also chatted about favourite bands. Apples were another topic, as was the daily watch for wildlife. We were convinced one week that the deer we saw in a field just outside Kelowna was stuffed, since it never seemed to move. We talked about the careers from which they had retired. We talked about anything but cancer because once we arrived at our destination, it was all about the cancer. Even then, these “boys” made it fun by taking bets on who would
get taken in first for their treatment. We all had assigned times, but they never seemed to matter to the technicians there. And we’d mock the poor guy who didn’t rehydrate enough for the radiation to be done right then, forcing the downing of another bottle of water. In a way, we bonded over the four weeks I rode the van. Some of them finished treatment before I did. Some new ones came along. And we picked up a few more women at various points for trips down to stay at the lodge next to the clinic or to go for an appointment. For the most part, though, it was the same fun crew. They made the trips enjoyable and, if any of them are reading this, thanks for being so much fun while we all shared this nasty illness. Thanks as well to those Masons who volunteered to make the daily trek back and forth and put up with our crew. Back in 1989, they said they would raise $1 million to launch the cancer-care program on the Lower Mainland, expanding it to the Island in 1991 and up here in 1998. All totalled, there are about 500 volunteers, 85 per cent of them Masons, driving the 16-van fleet. They pay for it through an assessment on each Mason every year, but they also accept donations and welcome new drivers. Anyone interested can get more information by emailing fccpdriver@gmail.com. Trust me, it’s a fun trip for a not-so-fun reason — and that simply adds to its value. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

Darcy wants to act fast on crisis MINISTER OF ADDICTIONS AND MENTAL HEALTH VISITED CITY WEDNESDAY Judy Darcy, the B.C. minister of addictions and mental health (at left in this photo with NDP Leader John Horgan when visiting Kamloops in 2015) was in the city Wednesday on a factfinding mission on the opioid crisis.
DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Judy Darcy has two priorities as the province’s minister of addictions and mental health. First, she has to take a lead role in dealing with the opioid overdose-death crisis, one that is now seeing an average of almost three people a day die. She also has to build a better mental-health and addiction-care system. Key to both tasks, Darcy said, is “getting to a place where you ask once and you get help fast. Where every door is the right door.” She said the existing system is composed of “great people doing amazing work. “They’re on a mission, but they’re working in a fragmented system,” Darcy said. For young people, she wants to see expansion of the youth mentalhealth clinics so someone can walk in without an appointment, see a health-care professional, get referrals to other specialists and feel supported through the entire process.
KTW FILE PHOTO
It’s a step that might address the fact young people make up a significant number of the overdose deaths in B.C. The provincial coroners office’s mostrecent report, covering the period from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, showed 16 between the ages of 10 and 18 died and 205 between 19 and 29. Comparable numbers for all of 2016 are 12 for the younger group and 206 for those leaving their teens into adult ages. Tackling the overdose crisis itself isn’t easy. Recreational drug use isn’t new, Darcy said,

dence.” There are other traumas fuelling use of illicit or street drugs, Darcy said. They could be emotional or social. In the First Nations communities, the legacy of residential schools has caused trauma not just to those students sent there, but to their children and grandchildren, she said. Combatting the stigma attached to drug use and mental health is a major goal, she said. “It’s the stigma that keeps people using alone.” Darcy noted using injectable hydromorphone has recently been approved for post-surgi-

but noted today’s reality is “the supply is poison. . . .The drug supply is now toxic across the board.” A lengthy time period when opioids were being prescribed by doctors for patients to deal with pain have added to the challenge, Darcy said, noting doctors now tend to look to other pain-management methods. “And there are people turning to street drugs because they are in acute physical pain. Maybe it started with a workplace injury,” she said. “We have no statistics on that, but there’s a lot of anecdotal evi-
cal pain. Sold under the brand name Dilaudid, it can be effective in pain management, particularly for those who have not found methadone to be helpful. Last week, Darcy announced an expansion of fentanyl testing strips to all overdoseprevention and supervised drug-use sites in the province, including in Kamloops. She also announced a pilot project based in Vancouver that will see a drug-testing machine available for people to use anonymously to determine what is in the drugs they are using. She said the data the project will provide will help answer key questions about how effective and reliable the technologies could be in reducing the number of people dying across the province from overdoses.

City presidential candidate weighs in on coup in Zimbabwe CAM FORTEMS

Zimbabwe next month, something that had

are several key elements to any election
in Zimbabwe, including the rule of law, allowing
international observers and ensuring there is no
fear-mongering before a presidential vote.

A military coup that seized dictator Robert Mugabe Wednesday is both a concern and an opportunity, said a Kamloops resident who is vying to get on the presidential ballot in Zimbabwe. Richard Kanyangu is one of millions of current and former Zimbabwe residents transfixed by the military coup in the south African nation, where Mugabe is being held by the military. “We could see it coming,” said Kanyangu, who is a psy-

Earlier this year, Kamloops This Week featured a story on the unlikely bid by Kanyangu to be listed on the ballot for an election scheduled in 2018 — elections that have been rigged in favour of Mugabe and his Zanu PF party for decades. Kanyangu said the coup may present an opportunity for free and fair elections, but noted support from the international community is key. “It depends on how the international community deals with it.

Geographical Society to honour vice-principal DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops educator will be recognized Thursday her work promoting geography — and doing it in a way that is engaging and
fun for students. Beth Dye, viceprincipal at Twin Rivers Education Centre, will receive a medal in Ottawa from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society during a ceremony that will feature
master questioner Alex Trebek handling the honours. Dye said the Geographic Literacy Award recognizes not only her work teaching the subject, but also her efforts in putting
together teams for the Canadian Geographic Challenge. It’s an annual event that sees teams of three compete at the regional, provincial, national and, every second year, international levels. In the past eight years making it to the worlds, Dye said, the Canadian team has medalled every time but once. “The kids were exceptional,” she said of the teams that competed. This isn’t your stereotypical geography, Dye pointed out. It’s not just maps and dirt. It involves historical, political and cultural aspects — their relationship with the earth — as well as the tradi-

tional discussion on climate and environment. Just as Dye teaches to inspire students to love geography, it was that subject’s teacher she had in high school
who instilled in her a love of understanding the world. And, when Dye talks to students about geography, she finds most of them were also inspired
at a young age, often from receiving a globe that led them to wonder about their world. One student credited diaper changes for his interest, Dye said; his parents placed a map of the world on the ceiling above his change table, hoping it would distract him while they cleaned him up. Dye said the award comes with the medal and a $2,500 cash prize, of which half will go to a charity of her choice — the International Geographic Oympiad, which will be held in Quebec City next August.
Lock it up — and out of sight The City of Kamloops and its crime prevention volunteers launched the eighth year of the Safe for the Season program Tuesday at Northills Shopping Centre on the North Shore. Volunteers are focusing their efforts on parking areas in retail locations and reminding shoppers of the importance of placing purchases any other valuables out of sight. While the volunteers patrol

parking lots and talk with shoppers, Safe for the Season tip cards containing information on vehicle crime prevention practices will be left on windshields. “Ultimately, the best practice is to take your parcels out of your vehicle at the earliest opportunity. Thieves are shopping too, so don’t make your vehicle a target”, said crime prevention co-ordinator Sandro Piroddi. “Our crime prevention vol-

Indspire award for TRU staffer Cecilia DeRose, a Shuswap elder and Thompson Rivers University employee at its Williams Lake campus, is one of 13 people to receive an Indspire award this year. DeRose is being recognized by the charity that invests in education of Indigenous people. It is the second-largest funder of Indigenous post-secondary education, surpassed only by the federal government. Until 2012, the awards were known as the National Aboriginal Achievement awards.
DeRose, a member of the Esk’etemc First Nation, teaches the Secwepemcstin language and is an elder advisor with the Culturally Safe Dementia Care research project being led by TRU and Interior Health. She is being recognized for her expertise in the language, as well as her handiwork with hides, beads and quilts and her knowledge of traditional medicinal plants. The awards will be presented on March 23 in Winnipeg.

Tickets are $150 each, which covers a four-course dinner and a tax receipt for $50 from the
RIH Foundation. For the past five years, the Hat & Wig Lending Bank has been located in the Education Room in the RIH Cancer Centre. Both space and funding for this program have been limited. Funds raised will go toward ensuring the wig bank continues to have a wide selection of wigs available for patients regardless of age, ethnicity or hair colour. In addition, wig display
shelving, storage and salon accessories will begin to be refreshed in the coming year. There is no cost to the patient when borrowing hats or wigs and they can be returned at the patients’ convenience. Last year, more than 400 wigs and hats were borrowed from the Hat & Wig Bank at RIH. To purchase tickets to Saturday’s fundraiser, call the RIH Foundation at 250-3142325.

A successful Shuswap brewery believes it is no longer contravening Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) regulations that threatened its existence on farmland. The B.C. New Democrat government brought in new regulations this month to make it easier for alcohol producers to operate in the ALR, provided at least half of the ingredients used in their primary farm product — barley in the case of beer — come from B.C. farms, including those operated by alcohol producers themselves. Crannog Ales in Sorrento ran afoul of the Agricultural Land Commission earlier this year, even though it has been operating since the 1990s. The commission’s rules put a number of operations in doubt, something the new regulations are intended to fix. Brian MacIsaac, one half of the couple who operates the farm and brewery, said “we’re fine ourselves,” but that he worries about light industrial development on farmland. “We don’t want, as a result of this, a bunch of industrial sprawl on agricultural land,” he said. “We want to make sure they’re doing things completely toward growing food. “We want to make sure the footprint of light industrial is light.”

Canadians in Zimbabwe cautioned to remain indoors, monitor media THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Canadians in the Zimbabwe capital of Harare were being advised to stay indoors Wednesday amid political turmoil in the African nation and reports that President Robert Mugabe and his wife are in the custody of the military. In a message posted on
its website, Global Affairs Canada said the “situation is tense’’ in the city due to increased military activity and advised Canadians there to “remain indoors and monitor the media.’’ Zimbabwe’s army said it has Mugabe and his wife in custody and was securing government offices and patrolling the capital’s streets
following a night of unrest that included a military takeover of the state broadcaster. The activity triggered speculation of a coup, but the military’s supporters praised it as a “bloodless correction.’’ Armed soldiers in armoured personnel carriers stationed themselves at key points in Harare, while Zimbabweans formed long

B.C. urged to act on First Nations youth deaths THE CANADIAN PRESS
VICTORIA — A new report on unexpected B.C. News deaths says Indigenous youth in British Columbia died at a rate almost two times higher than non-Aboriginal youth over a six-year period ending in 2015. The BC Coroners Service and First Nations Health Authority reviewed the unexpected deaths of 95 Indigenous young people between the ages of 15 and 24 during the period between January 2010 and December 2015. They made a series of broad recommendations including reducing barriers to services for Indigenous youth and promoting connections to family, community and culture. The review said prevention programs for Indigenous youth should consider a focus on cultural diversity and community strengths in their communities. The report found accidental deaths in motor vehicle crashes, drownings and overdoses accounted for 60 per cent of Indigenous youth deaths, while suicide accounted for 32 per cent of the deaths. The report said almost 25 per cent of the Indigenous youth who died were parents of young children.
BRIEFS
Hockey team still waiting for donation
KIMBERLEY, B.C. — A junior hockey team in southeastern British Columbia says it has yet to receive a multimillion-dollar donation it was promised last month, but the man behind the pledge says it will be in the team’s hands in 10 days. The board of directors of the Kimberley Dynamiters posted a statement Monday on Facebook thanking fans for their support and explaining that it had yet to receive the $7.5 million. The junior B team said Mike Gould of Calgary was giving the organization the money during an announcement at the Dynamiters’ home game on Oct. 13. Gould said Wednesday he knew the Dynamiters would be releasing the statement and the delay on his end has been resolved. “Everything is done and dealt with. Everything will be done in the next 10 days and they will have their money,’’ he said in a telephone interview. He said the delay was due to minor issues and also “with the banks.’’ He didn’t elaborate. “I will be giving it to them,’’ he said. Gould has said he won a 2008 jackpot in a EuroMillions lottery but would not disclose how much.
Court sides with filmmaker in lawsuit
VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of a filmmaker whose documentary criticized the Vancouver Aquarium’s practice of keeping beluga whales and dolphins in captivity. It said a lower court judge erred in ordering the filmmaker to remove 15 segments of his documentary that the aquarium said could cause the facility irreparable harm. Justice Mary E. Saunders said in a written ruling that the evidence does not support claims that Gary Charbonneau’s one-hour documentary brought the facility bad publicity. Saunders said aspects of Vancouver Aquarium Uncovered that are highly critical come from clips of public hearings where aquarium officials have spoken and of their public positions and budgets, juxtaposed with interviews of experts.

U.S. attorney general denies lying about Russia Jeff Sessions tells House Judiciary Committee his memory was clouded by the ‘chaos’ of the Trump campaign ERIC TUCKER SADIE GURMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — A defiant Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Congress on Tuesday he never lied under oath about Russian interference in the 2016 election and said sleep deprivation and the “chaos’’ of the Trump campaign clouded his recollections of campaign contacts with Russians.
Sessions sought to explain away apparent contradictions in his public statements by portraying President Donald Trump’s campaign as an exhausting operation and said he could not be expected to remember specific encounters from more than a year ago. “In all of my testimony, I can only do my best to answer all of your questions as I understand them and to the best of my memory,’’ Sessions told the House
Judiciary Committee. “But I will not accept, and reject, accusations that I have ever lied under oath. That is a lie.’’ Sessions, then a senator from Alabama, led a foreign policy advisory council for the Trump campaign. He has been dogged since January by his evolving explanations about his own foreign contacts during the campaign and about how much he knew of communication between Trump associates and Russian
government intermediaries. Those questions have only deepened since the guilty plea last month of George Papadopoulos, a former Trump adviser who served on the council Sessions chaired and who proposed arranging a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. As well, another aide, Carter Page, told Congress in private statements that he had alerted Sessions about a meeting he
planned in Russia during the campaign. Sessions said he had no recollection of the conversation with Page and he said that, though he did not initially recall a March 2016 conversation with Papadopoulos, he now believes after seeing media reports about it that he told Papadopoulos he was not authorized to represent the Trump campaign with the Russian government or any other foreign government.
GLOBAL VIEWS
All quiet on climate front despite causes for alarm “Promoting coal at a climate summit is like promoting tobacco at a cancer summit,” said Michael Bloomberg, the former New York mayor, but President Donald Trump did exactly that. He sent a team of American diplomats and energy executives to the annual world climate summit, held this year in Bonn, Germany, to extol the wonders of “clean” coal. Bloomberg, now a United Nations special envoy for climate change, got it right. The audience at the U.S. presentation heckled and mocked the presenters. Where people who were concerned about global warming once worried about whether the U.S. government would dare to defy the fossil fuel lobby at home, the denialists now control the government — and it turns out not to matter all that much. There are several reasons for that. One is that global coal use has gone into steep decline as the cost of renewable energy has dropped. It’s not competitive any more and China and India have cancelled plans for hundreds of new coalfired power plants this year. Even in the U.S., the share of electricity coming from coal fell from 51 per cent in 2008 to 31 per cent last year and U.S. coal companies are going bankrupt.
GWYNN DYER
World
WATCH A second reason is that Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement has had zero impact internationally. The fear that other countries would also default on their commitments proved to be unfounded and the U.S. is literally the only country on the planet that does not subscribe to the treaty. Indeed, Christiana Figueres, the UN’s chief climate negotiator, actually thanked Trump for his attempt to wreck the Paris deal. “It provoked an unparalleled wave of support for the treaty,” she said. “He shored up the world’s resolve on climate action — and for that we can all be grateful.” Finally, Trump has been outflanked by a new alliance announced in Bonn on Monday that links the 15 U.S. states committed to strong climate action with the Canadian and Mexican governments in a continent-wide group that concentrates on phas-
ing out coal power and boosting clean power and transport. Much of the U.S. contribution to emissions cuts that Trump reneged on will be covered by these state-level American initiatives. There are other causes for alarm, of course. There always are. After three years during which global carbon dioxide emissions stayed steady, albeit at a very high level, they have started rising again. And there is an unexplained rise in methane emissions in the tropics, not caused by burning fossil fuels, that leads some scientists to suspect one of the dreaded feedbacks is kicking in. Feedbacks are the spectre at the feast. You
can get everything else right, your emissions are going down nicely and you are on course to stop the warming just before the average global temperature reaches 2 C higher. Then, suddenly, the whole global system goes into overdrive. The warming that human beings have already caused has triggered some other, natural source of warming that we cannot shut off. The consensus among scientists is that the risk of triggering feedbacks rises steeply in the vicinity of 2 C higher average global temperature, which is why the world’s governments have all promised never to exceed that target. But there could be some unknown trigger in the
system that would set off runaway warming at a significantly lower average global temperature. The whole process, as they say, is non-linear. So, we are still living dangerously and it is still uncertain whether we can ratchet down emissions fast enough to stop the temperature rise in time. But there are big changes in the offing that will make it easier to cut emissions: meat substitutes and lab-grown meat, electric vehicles and further rapid reductions in the price of renewables like solar and wind.
There is also now a unity of purpose that was previously absent from the climate talks: the long struggle between the rich and the poor countries over who is to blame for the problem and who pays to fix it is largely over. And although President Xi Jinping did not come in person, China is definitely taking the lead. Nobody in Bonn is celebrating the U.S. government’s defection from the fight against climate change, but their panic is long past. The Bonn meeting has concentrated on
writing the rules for measuring how countries are complying with the promises they have made on emissions cuts. It also had to figure out how to organize the five yearly reviews at which the countries are supposed to adopt progressively higher targets for cuts. When the conference closes on Friday, there will be no exciting new announcements of breakthroughs, but we don’t need that. The real breakthrough came in Paris in 2015 and the objective now is to keep the show on the road. So far, so good.

Dig It: A British Columbia archeology primer SPECIAL TO KTW
republicofarchaeology.ca
Saturday. The forum is an annual event that allows archeologists, academics, First Nations, government representatives and the interested public to come together and discuss current archeological issues and research. The forum is hosted by the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park and will be held in the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc’s Moccasin Square Gardens. In anticipation of the event, I present the following B.C. archeology primer: • Archeology is the study of past human cultures through the analysis of the physical remains of those cultures. But what do archaeologists in B.C. do and why? • An archeological site is any location where these material cultural remains are identified. Archeological sites in B.C. range in size and complexity, from a single discarded tool to the remains of entire villages. • Archeological sites are more common than you might think: almost 50,000 have been formally recorded in British Columbia. These sites represent at least 14,000 years of First Nations history. • The Kamloops area has been a focus of human habitation and activity for millennia. There are more than 250 recorded archeological sites within 10 kilometres of the downtown core — and many more in the region. • Archeology involves a variety of approaches and techniques for investigating the past. Many of these are borrowed from related fields, including anthropology, history, geology and ecology. • Because First Nations

people have lived here so much longer than the rest of us, most archeological research in B.C. is focused on First Nations cultural history. But archaeology is also employed to study the nonaboriginal history of B.C. For example, archeological research has focused on gold rush sites, Second World War Japanese internment camps and early fish canneries. • Archeological sites in B.C. are legally protected by the Heritage Conservation Act. It is overseen by the archeology branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development. The Act legally protects archeological sites from alterations of any kind. The provisions of the Act apply to both public and private
land and are binding on government. • The Heritage Conservation Act automatically protects most archeological sites if they are known or can be inferred to pre-date 1846, or if they contain human remains or aboriginal rock art of historical or archeological value, regardless of age. The Act also protects shipwrecks or airplane wrecks that are two or more years old. The Act can also protect archeological sites through formal agreement with First Nations or by their formal designation as provincial heritage sites. • The archeology branch maintains an inventory of recorded archeological sites and issues and oversees a permitting process. Archeologists must obtain permits to conduct their fieldwork. These permits define the

The archeology branch provides a variety of information and guidance for developers and for the public on its website at for.gov.bc.ca/archaeology/index. htm. • There are archeologists affiliated with most universities and colleges in B.C. However, most archeological research in the province is conducted not by academic archeologists, but by archeologists employed in the field of cultural resource management (CRM).

Smith on stage Thursday at Sandman Centre Dallas Smith will headline a concert Thursday night at Sandman Centre. Opening for the country singer will be Michael Ray and Lauren Alaina. Tickets are available at the Sandman Centre box office or online at ticketmaster.ca.
DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Dallas Smith laughs when asked what “dad country” sounds like. He used it to describe his music for another interviewer earlier this year, but hadn’t expected it to stick. While he laughs, the country singer who is bringing his Side Effects Tour to Kamloops Thursday night says his music has been influenced by his preteen son and younger daughter. Watching them grow up and being surrounded by his family tends to influence many of the lyrics that come from the former grungerocker-turned-country. Longtime fans remember Smith’s first successful band, Default, which saw success with its first album, The Fallout, released in 2001. The next year, that band won a Juno Award as best new group and went on to see platinum certification of the debut release. Three other albums — Elocation in 2003, One Thing Remains in 2005 and Comes and Goes in 2009 — followed. Smith, however, had

13 Camry LE found his country roots by 2012 and given up his tuque for a Stetson. The album that gives the current tour its name was nominated for June and Canadian Country Music Association awards last year and has seen singles topping the charts. For Smith, though, it’s all about the music — from recording to touring, he loves it all. This tour has been a bit onerous, however; last month he did 11 shows in 12 days and he’s got a similar sched-
ule in the West. “It’s a long haul for my voice to hold up, but I prefer it this way,” he said. Kamloops is a favourite stop, Smith said, one he makes every two or three years. Thursday’s show at Sandman Centre includes a couple of opening acts — American country singers Michael Ray (Kiss You in the Morning) and Lauren Alaina (Road Less Traveled). Children also inspire Smith’s participation in
the CP Holiday Train, which is scheduled to arrive in Kamloops on Dec. 15. He won’t be on the train chugging its way across Canada to help out food banks, opting to ride the American version with Terri Clark and Kelly Prescott. The Canadian train will have Alan Doyle and the Beautiful Band providing entertainment. Smith said the first time he agreed to take part in the annual train event, he saw it as “a great way to see the
country and hit some small towns we might not go to.” He is now sold on it and will get on board as long as he is asked, he said, because he didn’t realize how many kids were at each stop. “You go out there and there are smiles on all these faces,” Smith said. “All these kids smiling.” Tickets for Thursday’s show are available at the Sandman Centre box office or online at ticketmaster.ca.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Credit Score and Home Buying Part I Does living a debt-free lifestyle make you the best candidate for a mortgage? You manage your money well and you purchase only what you can pay cash for. You have no credit cards or loans of any kind! You must be what every lender dreams of when it comes to obtaining a mortgage, right? Well, not so fast… Let’s take a look at one of the key aspects of lending: your credit score. When applying for a mortgage, your credit score weighs heavily when it comes to the mortgage rates you will be offered, the lenders who will work with you or whether you will be denied in your search for a loan. In essence, it can make or break your mortgage application. By definition, a credit score is simply a measure of your proven habits of repaying debt. For that reason, you must repay something to have a positive score, like credit card payments, car payments and small bank loans to name a few. People who do not have or use credit cards and insist on paying cash for everything are often surprised when they are refused for a mortgage because they believe their habit of paying cash should reflect “good credit”. Credit scores are rated on a point system, ranging from 0 (no credit), to a maximum of 900 (perfect credit), with the general minimum credit needed for a mortgage sitting at around 600 points. A person who pays cash for all things will likely have a 0 credit score because they have zero history of repaying debt. So what does this mean to a first time homebuyer? Do your credit card repayment patterns reveal good things about you? As a rule of thumb, a person should use two credit cards regularly and pay them off each month to build a positive credit score. A repayment for a bill as little as $10 will build your score and produce a proven habit of repaying debt. There are two major credit score suppliers in Canada: Equifax and Transunion. Each has a credit education center for those who would like to do further reading: www.equifax.com/home/en ca • www.transunion.ca Equifax offers a free mailed copy of your credit report at www.equifax.com/contact_us/en_ca. Both these links are found under resources on my website www.mortgagebuilder.ca. Look for Mortgage Matters “Credit Score and Home Buying Part II” when I will examine several factors that lower credit score and boost credit score for those looking to maximize their score prior to a home purchase.

TWILIGHT ZONE SAGA ROLLS ON MARTY HASTINGS
Kamloops Blazers’ goaltender Dylan Ferguson made his NHL debut with the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday.
STAFF REPORTER
O
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
ne year ago, Dylan Ferguson was a relatively unknown backup goaltender for the Kamloops Blazers. The babyfaced 19-year-old from Lantzville made his NHL debut with the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, the latest chapter in a series of fascinating and implausible events. “It’s really conflicting because it wasn’t the outcome the team wanted, but my dream just came true,” Ferguson said in a post-game scrum. “It’s really amazing for me.” The Oilers hammered the visiting Golden Knights 8-2. Maxime Lagace, the fourth goalie on the Knights’ depth chart, looked to have picked up a back injury on the Oilers’ fifth goal and, after giving up seven goals on 22 shots, was replaced by Ferguson with 9:14 remaining in the third period. Not long after, Connor McDavid was tapping Ferguson’s pads following an Oilers’ disallowed goal. “Like I keep saying, I’m at a loss for words,” said Ferguson, who was wearing his blue and orange Blazers’ pads and helmet in Edmonton. “I’m just really grateful for everything that’s happened.” Ferguson allowed one goal on two shots, a well-worked Mark Letestu power-play marker Henrik Lundqvist may not have stopped. Hockey fans on social media are having a heyday with Ferguson’s Twilight Zone experience, including one cre-
ative Twitter user who doctored a photo and turned him into a bicycle-riding pizza delivery boy. The crazy Dominos might continue to fall this week. On Wednesday morning, John Shannon of Sportsnet reported Ferguson may start against the Canucks in Vancouver on Thursday, as the Golden Knights had not yet provided an update on Lagace’s health. A Ferguson start became less likely when both Lagace and Malcolm Subban skated at Rogers Arena on Wednesday afternoon. Already without netminders Marc-Andre Fleury and Subban, both injured, the Golden Knights were forced to turn to Lagace after Oscar Dansk left an Oct. 30 game against the New York Islanders with an injury. The only other goalie Vegas has under contract is Ferguson, who was drafted by the Dallas Stars in Round 7 of the 2017 NHL Draft and dealt to the Knights in a trade
that sent defenceman Marc Methot the other way. Ferguson received a phone call before the game against the Islanders was over and was on a plane that night, en route to New York to join the Knights before faceoff against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Halloween night. Max Palaga, the Blazers’ 17-year-old backup goalie from Kamloops, was among the first to hear from Ferguson when he found out the NHL was calling. “He called me a couple times,” Palaga said. “I was in a meeting. He was like, ‘Tell them it’s an emergency.’ I called him later. He said it’s surreal. He said it’s the best pre-game meal he’s ever had, with like steak and lobster. “It’s pretty exciting for Ferg and I. He gets to back up for the newest [NHL] franchise and I get to start some games for my hometown team.” The Blazers said in a press release they expected Ferguson to return prior to
A21
last weekend’s games against the Red Deer Rebels and Seattle Thunderbirds. That didn’t happen. Dylan Garand, 15, was called up to Kamloops from his midget team in Delta and recorded his first WHL victory in a 3-2 win over the Rebels last Friday at Sandman Centre. Palaga won the next night, helping the Blazers to their seventh victory in 10 games. The Blazers want their starting netminder back, but may not be quite as desperate after last weekend. Ferguson likely isn’t all that anxious to return. He has been with Vegas for seven games and his accumulated daily cap hit is $57,796, according to capfriendly.com, an amount that will increase if he remains with the Golden Knights for the tilt against the Canucks. When his whirlwind dream tour of the NHL finally ends, teammates in Kamloops may suggest dinner is on him.
Recchi joins Hall of Fame MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Mark Recchi thanked everyone who helped him on his trek to the Hockey Hall of Fame at the 2017 induction ceremony in Toronto on Monday. “I don’t think I would’ve made it if I didn’t get that opportunity to go back and play in Kamloops,” Recchi said during his induction speech, referring to the 1986-1987 and 1987-1988 seasons he spent playing with his hometown Kamloops Blazers. “I thought I’d be lucky to play five or six years [in the NHL], never mind 22 years, and did it go quick. It was an amazing ride and it was an amazing run.” Perhaps the most emotional part of his speech came near its end, when he thanked his family for their support. Brother Marty was moved to tears. Seven individuals joined the Hall on Monday, including five in the player category and two in the builder category. Joining Recchi in the player category were Dave Andreychuk, Danielle Goyette, Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne. Clare Drake and Jeremy Jacobs were inducted as builders. Recchi racked up
1,533 points in 22 NHL seasons with seven teams. He ranks fifth all-time in games played (1,652) and 12th in points. He won three Stanley Cups — in 1991 with the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2006 with the Carolina Hurricanes and 2011 with the Boston Bruins, ending his career by dispatching the hometown Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the final. At 5-foot-9 and less than 200 pounds, Recchi faced an uphill climb, especially in the early days of his career. For more on how he proved doubters wrong, read a July KTW story that featured Recchi and family members, including parents Mel and Ruth. Find it online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Recchi is the first Kamloops-born Hall of Famer. “It’s a huge honour,” he said. “Kamloops was everything to me growing up. It was a great place for me to learn my craft and learn hockey and sport, in general, and to grow up. It gave me everything I needed and my parents gave me every advantage, as well.”

Spiked After four straight losses, the TRU WolfPack are aiming to get back into the win column this weekend. The hometown Winnipeg Wesmen will make that a tall task. Winnipeg sits atop the Canada West men’s volleyball standings with a record of 7-1, while the 2-4 WolfPack are coming off back-to-back straightsets losses to the UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver. “We played some of our best volleyball in a while in the third set tonight,” WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly said after falling 3-0 to the T-Birds last Friday. “UBC was very good from the service line, especially Irvan Brar. We had a solid match from Landon Currie at libero and Jake Hamilton at setter.” Brar had six service aces to help his T-Birds improve to 6-0 on the campaign. Tim Dobbert, a fourth-year outside hitter from Aichelberg, Germany, had six kills and four digs for the Pack. TRU opened the campaign by sweeping the MacEwan Griffins (0-6) of Edmonton in two matches at the Tournament Capital Centre, but has since suffered four consecutive straight-sets defeats. Brandon (6-2) earned wins over hometown TRU on Nov. 3 and Nov. 4.

T-Birds soar ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
Joe Davis of Kamloops had a team-high 21 points against the Saskatchwan Huskies in Saskatoon on Saturday, but his TRU WolfPack fell 80-61 in Canada West men’s basketball action. The WolfPack men’s and women’s volleyball and basketball teams combined for an 0-8 record last weekend.
Beaten handily Two blowout losses last weekend have given the TRU WolfPack an idea of where they stand among the Canada West women’s basketball elite. The Saskatchewan Huskies, ranked second in the conference’s preseason coaches’ poll, cruised to victories over the visiting WolfPack in Saskatoon, winning 79-45 on Saturday and 90-34 on Friday. “We struggled to shoot the ball all weekend,” WolfPack head coach Scott Reeves said. ”Give full credit to Sask. They pressured us to run our offence and not get open looks.” Makayla Hoey, a first-year guard from Parksville, led TRU with eight points, six
rebounds and three steals on Saturday. Saskatchewan improved to 4-0. TRU dropped to 4-2 on the campaign and will get another acid test this weekend when the undefeated Lethbridge Prongorns come to town. Game times are 6 p.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. on Saturday at the Tournament Capital Centre. Partial proceeds from tickets sales on CIBC Shoot for the Cure Night on Friday will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. Lethbridge sits atop the conference with a 6-0 record. — with files from TRU sports information
The UBC Thunderbirds had their way with the TRU WolfPack last week in Vancouver. UBC (5-1) sits third in Canada West women’s volleyball standings after sweeping a pair of matches against the Pack, winning 3-0 on Friday and 3-1 on Thursday. “We didn’t pass the ball well enough or with enough consistency to win the match,” WolfPack head coach Chad Grimm said. “We hit efficiently enough. We couldn’t get enough attempts because our passing was off. “When you give up
15 aces in three sets, it makes it tough to win.” Rachel Windhorst, a fourth-year outside hitter from Surrey, led the WolfPack (2-4) with 12 kills last Friday. TRU, which has lost four straight matches since sweeping the MacEwan Griffins (0-6) of Edmonton on the opening weekend of the season, will travel to Winnipeg to play the Wesmen this weekend. Winnipeg has lost five straight matches and is second-last in the conference with a record of 1-7. — with files from TRU sports information
Huskies best WolfPack The TRU WolfPack men’s basketball team is mired in a three-game losing streak and will face a strong opponent on home court this weekend. TRU, which dropped a pair of games to the hometown Saskatchewan Huskies on the weekend, will play host to the Lethbridge Pronghorns on Friday and Saturday, with game times set for 8 p.m. and 7 p.m., respectively. Lethbridge is one of three undefeated teams in the conference, boasting a perfect 6-0 record. Saskatchewan (2-2) knocked off TRU 80-61 last Saturday and 89-66 last Friday in Saskatoon. Joe Davis, a third-year forward from Kamloops, had 21 points and seven rebounds for the WolfPack on Saturday. TRU dropped to 2-4 on the season.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Keith Meredith Nicholson April 28,1945 - October 7, 2017
Husband, Father, “Boppa”, Brother, Uncle, Son, Accountant, Volunteer, Sports Enthusiast, avid reader, business owner, 1st baseman, curler and Friend; Keith wore many hats over the span of his 72 years of life. His memories of growing up in Dauphin, Manitoba on the farm with his mother (Ella), father (Harry) and brother (Donald) were fond ones. Walking uphill both ways to a one-room schoolhouse where attendance, in his opinion, was not always mandatory sums up his childhood. The day after graduating high school, he headed out west where he was to meet the love of his life Annette and they began their next 50 years together. They were married in Coeur d’alene, Idaho in a lovely little wedding chapel; never underestimate the magic of a blind date. Financial goals pointed them in the direction of Thompson, Manitoba where work was plenty and where Darryl was born. A proud day indeed. With goals attained, it was time to move back to Kamloops which would be the place where Rhonda (Eckerman) was born. Another proud day for Keith. He worked at Campbell and Company until retirement except for eight years when he was part owner of Black Pines Manufacturing. His advice was practical and sound as an entrepreneur and an accountant. He volunteered as a director of Thrupp Manor, a position that he felt was important work. He travelled regularly to the Clearwater office to manage the Campbell and Co. office. He was a dedicated professional. Keith and Annette purchased the Shuswap property in 1985 and enjoyed their second home for 25 years before relocating part time to Arizona as Canadian snowbirds in their retirement. “The lake” produced years of family memories and lifelong friendships. Keith was instrumental in leading the Shuswap “Stumphunters” Association. Daily trips out in the aluminum boat in search of the perfect stump that had washed up on the beach following those famous Shuswap storms. There was nothing like watching the massive stump shoot flames out of the end like a cannon with its audience staring in awe. Best memories ever!
Keith was pleased to welcome Lisa (Darryl’s wife) into the Nicholson family. He had the privilege of walking Rhonda down the aisle and welcome Mark Eckerman into the family. The arrival of grandchildren topped the “proudness scale” as he would often comment that life with those kids was absolutely “Fantasmigorical”. Rory, Paige, Lily and Maya learned many important nonsensical life lessons from Boppa. He felt it was very important to learn what aisle in the grocery store where you can find “Boppa’s special carrots”. We thank Boppa for his silly sense of humour and for sharing hours together listening to his favourite songs in his music room. He sang his heart out but we can all safely say that he was a far better whistler! Retirement took Keith and Annette to Gold Canyon, Arizona to escape the Canadian winters where Keith played golf and slow pitch while folks back home shovelled snow. He enjoyed hikes with friends, visiting the Arboretum and enjoyed those famous Arizona happy hours. He especially LOVED to shop at the “Superstition Market” where he could buy so much produce for so little……..an accountant until the end! He will be missed by ALL!! A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 26, 2017 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Brock Seniors Centre. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Kamloops Hospice Society. Condolences may be left for the family at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com
Harold “Hal” Oliver Benson Early Sunday morning, November 12, 2017, Harold “Hal” Benson passed away with his family by his side after a brief battle with cancer. Left to cherish his memory are his children Rick (Sheila), Randy (Sandi), Ron (Wendy), Brian (Jennifer) and Brenda, twelve grandchildren and twenty greatgrandchildren. Hal was the oldest of six children. He is survived by his brothers Pat, David, Howard and Bruce. Predeceased by his wife of 56 years Marilyn in 2010, and his sister Marilyn in 2016. Hal was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan on December 28, 1935. The family then moved to Penticton in 1936, then to Marpole in 1940. In 1951, they moved to Burns Lake, where he met the love of his life, Marilyn Rose Finch. They were married on June 23, 1954 in Burns Lake. They raised their family of five there. He was very active in the community, coaching hockey and baseball. He studied and was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1972 and devoted his life to serving his God Jehovah. In 1991, Hal and Marilyn moved to Kamloops with their daughter Brenda. Hal had various jobs, making many lifelong friends along the way. Memorial Service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1985 Curlew Road, Kamloops, BC on Saturday, November 18, 2017 at 2:00 pm.

Peter John Milbers 1926 - 2017
Peter John Milbers passed away gently, peacefully on October 31, 2017.
Peter went on to become an amazingly skilled, hard working carpenter. His signature was in the strength and sturdiness of all he built, including many of Kamloops original high rises.
Della grew up in Pritchard, BC and settled in Chase, BC with her husband Bill and their two children, where she helped run their logging truck business.
Many thanks for the attentive care that Della received at the Dialysis Unit at Royal Inland Hospital and Pinegrove Extended Care. Special thank you to Wanda and Carey who stayed 4 days and nights with her, and all the family members who were there in her final hours.

In the early 1950s, an adventurous, young German man entered Canada following a dream to play professional soccer. His journey brought him to Winnipeg in November (clearly a miscommunication), thankfully he was directed to BC.
Della will be lovingly remembered by her children Mark and Barbie, sisters Violet and Noreen, brothers Lloyd, Harry and Tommie, as well as Kathy, Connie, Danny and Brenda whom she helped raise and their families. She also leaves to mourn many grandchildren, nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends.
Della will be fondly remembered for her passion of home, family dinners and love of life. Her gardening boasts her appreciation of flowers and beauty of nature.

And when you left for Heaven, A small part of me died. Your smile could brighten anyone’s day, No matter what they were going through. And everyday for the rest of my life, I’ll be missing you
Forever in our Hearts Much Love Your wife Teresa, Gaetano & Family and Renato
Thank you dad/opa, despite being a prisoner of war 4 years, for staying positive, accepting and making the best of what showed up in life. Thank you to all the Juniper residents who waved, honked, greeted dad at the base of his driveway, it gave him great pleasure. A special thanks to the Blueberry staff at Overlander for their compassionate care and kindness provided for dad/opa, it’s greatly appreciated. Left to fondly remember Peter is his son Kim, granddaughters Tina, Annette and their families, as well as many friends. There will be no service held at this time. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

On Friday, November 3, 2017 John Moss of Kamloops, BC passed away suddenly at home. He was 70 years young. He had recently had knee surgery and seemed to be well on the road to recovery. Our family is devastated by his unexpected passing.
In Loving Memory of Marilyn Lumsden
August 18, 1943 November 16, 2016
John was predeceased by his daughter Tamara Moss, his father Albert Henry Moss and mother Betteena Moss. He is survived by his wife of 45 years Margie, sons Michael, Mathew (Karen), daughter Kathleen (Vicki), granddaughter Adriana, grandson Caden, brother Rob (Gloria), nephews Philip, Christian and grandnephew Kylen. He was born in Melbourne, Australia and immigrated with his family to Canada in 1954. The family made their home in Nanaimo, BC. John worked in a diverse number of jobs during his life time including the BC Fisheries, the BC Forest Service as an Assistant Ranger, a millworker at Weyerhaeuser and a heavy duty mechanic at Mack Trucks, Louis Creek Mill and Highland Valley Copper. His favorite pastimes were cross country and ice motorcycle racing, riding his Harley and more recently driving his Triumph sports car or working in his workshop. He was a member of the GKMA, the Harley Owners Club and the Old English Car Club. He loved his children and grandchildren so much and he was so very proud of each and every one of them. He will be greatly missed by his family and all the many friends that he made. A casual Celebration of Life for John will be held at the Valley First Lounge, Sandman Center on Sunday, November 19, 2017 at 1:00 pm. John always had a story to tell of his experiences in life so if you have a story about him to share with us we would love to hear them, either at the celebration of life or personally.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman
Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
Gone are the days we used to share But in our hearts you’re always there Never more than a thought away Loved and remembered every day.
Love your family
