The City of Kamloops and the Tk’emlups Indian Band councils have reached an agreement that could see the former Stuart Wood elementary become a cultural centre.

tudents from Jeremy Reid’s social studies class are roaming the halls during last block on Friday afternoon. They are not, however, skipping out on current events. Instead, they are calling on students and staff at Westsyde secondary to sign a petition to help lower B.C.’s voting age to 16 from 18. “It’s evidence that people want it,” said 16-yearold Caitlyn Gilbert. The petition is part of a school project turned political campaign that began last year in Reid’s Grade 11 class. It continued this year with a new cohort of students eager to continue the work of their peers.

like to utilize that space.” School District 73 closed the school in June 2016, at which time it reverted to the city’s control. However, due to an agreement made by the city and province more than a century ago, the building must be used for educational purposes or it reverts to Victoria’s control. Because the school is on Crown land, Kamloops is required to consult with the Tk’emlups band on future uses. The heritage building at Battle Street and Third Avenue has been empty since closing, with the gym now being used as a winter shelter for homeless. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said a Stuart Wood cultural centre could celebrate the history of both communities, as well as Thompson Rivers University’s contribution to diversifying the
city’s population. He suggested a public plaza as part of the transformation. Thomas said the band also has plans to bring artifacts now in the hands of private collectors or museums back to Tk’emlups territory using repatriation funding from the province. Those items could come to Stuart Wood. “We have, for example, down in the New York museum, we have a very sacred pipe that comes from our territory,” Thomas said. “I would love to bring that sacred pipe home to where it belongs.” Thomas said the two governments will also look to the province and federal government for funding to bring the heritage building up to required standards of accessibility and functionality, noting Ottawa has expressed interest in funding heritage projects.

Weather, not vandals, toppled sign ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The City of Kamloops says no criminal activity was involved in the disappearance of a decorative sign celebrating the Red Bridge. The metal sign, located on the south end of the historic bridge downtown, vanished a few weeks ago, with only the poles that once supported it left behind on the ground. The disappearance led one community member to contact KTW, concerned the sign had been stolen. Not so, said Jeff Putnam, parks and civic facilities manager. The sign remains safe in the city’s carpentry shop after it was blown over during a recent windstorm. Putnam said it will be a few more weeks before the sign returns to its usual perch, due to higher-priority repairs already in the queue. Because the sign is decorative — it was installed by Kamloops Communities in Bloom as part of a beautification project — and not regulatory, the city isn’t required to repair it immediately. While the Red Bridge marker is safe, others in Kamloops have not been so lucky. In May, Putnam told media thousands of dollars in memorial and historic plaques had been stolen from benches and statues, mainly in the downtown area. It’s assumed they were stolen for their value as scrap metal. Putnam said parks staff are looking at working with the Kamloops Museum and Archives and others to gather the information required to replace the plaques — which will include re-creating the text on the missing signage and deciding what material should replace the previous metal incarnations. “It’s a very complex project,” Putnam said. “It’s going to take the whole winter to get it organized.”

Buying bear parts nets man $18,000 fine CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Cache Creek resident caught purchasing bear parts in a sting operation pleaded guilty on Monday and was sentenced to an $18,000 fine. Hong Hui Xie, 48, was sentenced in Kamloops provincial court on six counts of trafficking under the provincial Wildlife Act. Lawyers for the Crown and defence made a joint submission to judge Roy Dickey, asking for an $18,000 fine, $3,000 of which will go to the Habitat Conservation Fund. Prosecutor Jim MacAuley detailed in provincial court the undercover operation by conservation officers, who sold Xie about $1,300 worth of bear gall bladders, paws and deer meat on
three occasions in late 2015 and in the summer of 2016. They were given his contact number by another man who pleaded guilty to similar charges. Despite the guilty plea, defence lawyer Mitch Foster suggested Xie may have been drawn in due to his extremely limited English. An interThe Resort Series preter was used in court on Monday. Park Model Homes Foster also noted the unusual reverse sting operation, akin to police selling drugs to users and then arresting them. “It’s buying. This is not normally what we think of as trafficking,” Foster said, adding conservation officers could have kept up the purchasing for years. “It’s almost like putting three or four radar cameras in a line.”
MacAuley said undercover conservation officers made efforts to ensure Xie understood what he was doing was illegal. “Mr. Xie then said [in one transaction] he read of a case in the Lower Mainland where someone was buying and selling meat and there were fines of up to $200,000,” MacAuley Canada said. Dickey also noted Xie was uncomfortable doing the transaction in a parking lot and wanted instead to go inside a restaurant. Xie owns a restaurant in Cache Creek. He has three children and has been in Canada for 25 years. He has no criminal record. Foster said he purchased the products for his own herbal therapy after Western medicine failed him.

Green’s Weaver backs lower voting age From A1
In recent weeks, Reid’s class held a school-wide vote in advance of the petition, showing 64 per cent of students and staff have an appetite to lower the voting age. Other campaign initiatives have included creating a website, publishing content online, plastering posters around the school, crafting messages for school announcements and sending letters to politicians from Kamloops to Victoria. Sixteen-year-old Hayley Trueit wrote a letter to Green Leader Andrew Weaver. She was surprised by the quick response. “It was kind of a shock,” Trueit said. “Because they’re actually taking the time to see where they’re getting their letters from . . . they’re actually taking the time, which means a lot.” Weaver visited the class last year to discuss his bill to lower the voting age to 16 in B.C. It had coincidently
JESSICA WALLACE/KTW Westsyde secondary students Caitlyn Gilbert (left), Alex Toplak and Kenya Reid are asking their peers to sign a petition in support of lowering the provincial voting age to 16. To learn more about the campaign, go online to tinyurl.com/y9tyg96y.
aligned with the class project and gave it additional clout. “His response was that he definitely supports it and that they’re pushing to be able to have 16-yearolds vote in the referendum [on electoral reform] and overall,” Reid said. “He wants to see them vote in elections, also.”
Weaver reintroduced Bill M220 in February. “There’s a lot of evidence to suggest that the earlier in life a voter casts their first ballot, the more likely they are to develop voting as a habit throughout their life,” Weaver said “It’s also a common misconception that 16-year-olds are not
as informed on and engaged in political issues as older voters. The research, however, says otherwise.” Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar (B.C. Liberal) also recently responded to a letter from Reid’s class and will visit likely in December. Westsyde secondary is in his riding.
When KTW contacted Milobar, he said he had yet to give the topic much thought. He sees where the students are coming from, but fell short of saying he supports the idea. “They can drive a car,” he said. “We trust them on the road. But we don’t trust them with everything, either.”
Reid admits he is not sure where the campaign will go, nor whether it will continue next year. But he said the project is an opportunity to connect his lessons to real life — regardless of the political outcome. “Kids have a chance to understand and realize how important politics are and how they affect your
lives,” he said. Anyone can sign the class’s petition, which immediately garnered 23 names when it began on Friday, by emailing Reid at jreid@ sd73.bc.ca. To learn more about the campaign, go online to tinyurl.com/ y9tyg96y. The petition will be presented to Milobar this winter.
Thank you! On July 7, 2017, a provincial state of emergency was declared in British Columbia. Over the span of 71 days, almost 11,000 evacuees found refuge in the Kamloops region. Businesses, service providers, emergency personnel, Indigenous communities, and an unparalleled number of volunteers demonstrated their compassion, generosity, and undaunted community pride during this summer’s devastating wildfire season. The City of Kamloops and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District would like to express their sincere gratitude to everyone for their support during the wildfires.

Public to weigh in on new bus route STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Members of the public will get a chance weigh in on a new bus route serving the Tk’emlups reserve lands, Mount Paul Industrial Park and Sun Rivers, due to begin services next fall. At a joint meeting of Kamloops city council and the Tk’emlups band council, Sarah Candido, manager of community services for the Tk’emlups, unveiled a proposed route and
dates for three public consultations in early December. Starting in September of 2018, a bus will serve Sun Rivers, the industrial park and the band’s governance area every half hour. The band will spend about $250,000 on the 5,000-hour service, with B.C. Transit also contributing funding. Service will link up with the larger City of Kamloops transit network at the Lansdowne transit exchange. Candido said initial funding does not pro-

vide for a direct connection to the North Shore. Early consultations with band members suggested a connection to the downtown for banking and other appointments was required most. Bus stops further east on Shuswap Road were also out of the budget, but Candido said she hopes future expansions will extend the route. “We’re looking for this to be utilized all the time and expand, not for this to be as far as it goes,” she said. While a route
has been drawn up, Candido said it’s not entirely set in stone. The band is looking to the public to decide what hours of the day the bus should operate, and whether to run a Monday to Friday or seven-day services. “We don’t know everybody’s shifts, we don’t know if people are from Thompson Rivers University, we don’t know the main ridership core,” she said. “So that’s the big engagement piece — does this route work and does this time work?”
Candido said if major issues are raised with the route by the public, stop locations can also be revisited. Public consultation sessions will run Dec. 4 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Hoodoos at Sun Rivers, 1000 Clubhouse Dr.,and Dec. 5 from noon to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Moccasin Square Gardens, 315 Southern Yellowhead Hwy.

Education minister talks teachers, schools DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The province is making headway in hiring the number of teachers needed in the public school system, said the man in charge of making it happen. Minister of Education Rob Fleming said about 3,300 of the estimated 3,500 needed have been hired to meet the requirements flowing from the Supreme Court of Canada decision last year that reinstated 2002 language in teachers contracts addressing classroom size and composition. “We’re nearly there,” Fleming said after a session on Friday with Grade 3 students at Westmount elementary, where he handed out library cards to the class of 22. One of the problems, however, is those who have been teachers on call are the ones mainly being hired, which is leading to a shortage of substitute teachers in districts. Fleming said work is proceeding to try to grow those lists. His visit to the city included a meeting with the KamloopsThompson board of trustees and others involved in the education system. School district Supt. Alison Sidow said she felt the meetings went well and that Fleming heard about School District 73’s strategic plan and the need for investment to address aging schools. Sidow said trustees and administrators stressed that crunch is not simply a school district issue, “but a community issue.” Earlier this year, the school board produced a pamphlet, Schools: An Investment In Our Future, containing enrolment projections through 2025, capital infrastructure needs and fact boxes on how much money has been spent in the past in the KamloopsThompson compared to other dis-
tricts in B.C. In its pamphlet, the district points out it had 2.6 per cent of provincial student enrolment from 2001 to 2017 (which happens to be the entire length of the B.C. Liberal reign), yet received only one-half per cent of the provincial capital expenditure. Also noted is the fact the province spent $2 billion on schools in B.C. from 2002 to 2016, with KamloopsThompson accounting for only $10.7 million of that pot of cash. By comparison, school districts in Kelowna ($114.7 million), Victoria ($96.2 million), North Vancouver ($73.9 million), Prince George ($60.9 million) and Vernon ($57.5 million) all received more in infrastructure funding. In addition, between 2001 and 2017, the local district received an average of $742 per student in capital infrastructure spending, while the provincial average during that 16-year period was, on average, $6,888 per student. The Top 4 priority list in capital expenditures: Valleyview secondary needs to be expanded at a cost of $22 million; Westmount elementary needs a $9 million expansion; Pineview Valley needs an elementary school, with cost pegged at $18 million; and South Kamloops secondary requires a new gym and an addition to the main building, at a cost of $17 million. Fleming told KTW the philosophy that instructs his ministry is one that will show respect for teachers. “Which is quite the opposite from the last government,” he said of the B.C. Liberal administration. “There were too many years of chaos.” He praised the public education system as remaining resilient through those challenging years and said his task is to make the system truly great.

B.C. Attorney General David Eby (above) visited Thompson Rivers University on Friday to collect input on how the new B.C. Human Rights Commission should be shaped. Eby said comments posted online are one area in which the effects of a new B.C. Human Rights Commission could be felt in Kamloops. Eby said comments left on news websites and Facebook that contain derogatory language about First Nations have come up repeatedly as a concern as he consults the public about how to re-establish the long-dead commission.

WE ARE DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION
O
ur technologically advanced and dependent society has created a monster by instilling in people a perceived need to stay in touch with family, friends and the world around them on an almost constant basis. That electronic link today is predominantly made through one’s smartphone. While the increased and instant access can have many advantages, it has created a habit in many people to respond, or at least glance at who has communicated with them, even if that happens while driving or sitting at a traffic light. Having done their best in recent years to raise awareness about the dangers of doing so — through advertising, enforcement campaigns and fines — the province and ICBC ramped up their message recently by announcing steeper fines for distracted driving. B.C. Attorney General David Eby said distracted driving will soon be designated “high-risk,” which means two such tickets in a span of three years could net drivers a $2,000 penalty. Distracted driving infractions include using an electronic device while driving and emailing or texting while driving. Drivers must be safely and clearly pulled over out of traffic and parked with the vehicle not running. Both infractions currently come with a $368 fine and four points, which adds $175 onto the total. Get caught more than once after March 1 and you will face a fine into the thousands, over and above whatever ICBC deems your appropriate insurance rate should be. It’s an expensive lesson and certainly shows how serious the province is about removing this potential cause of serious crashes. With distracted driving a factor in one-quarter of all car-crash deaths in B.C., and about 12,000 drivers having been issued more than one such ticket over a three-year period, it’s clear a heavier message needs to be sent.

China a better partner than the United States
B
.C. Forests Minister Doug Donaldson is back from his first wood-industry trade mission to China and Japan, an annual journey I was fortunate to go on last year. China especially is an eyeopening experience and, depending on the smog, an eye-irritating experience as well. The sheer scale of urban development around cities like Shanghai and Nanjing is striking. They don’t build a highrise; they build eight or 10 or 12 at a time. Nanjing is the commercial centre of Jiangsu province, where the Chinese central government has ordered a pilot project to phase in wood and engineered wood, starting with roof trusses and prefabricated infill walls for concrete buildings. They’re working with B.C.-developed wood construction because “it’s energy-efficient, it’s green, it’s light, it’s fast,” said Rick Jeffery, chair of the national industry group Canada Wood and a veteran of Asia trade. This is important in a vast country that is not only choked with pollution, but is running low on limestone, a key component of concrete. Based on 2016 rates of consumption, China is using as much concrete in two years as the U.S. would in a century — and that’s with growth slowed from its peak a few years ago. One of the pictures sent back by B.C. government staff shows Donaldson attending a meeting of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development
TOM FLETCHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA (MOHURD) for Jiangsu, with dozens of people crowded around a long boardroom table. The province’s population is approaching 79 million. In a phone call from the Tokyo stop last week, Donaldson said once the government decides on an action, “things happen quickly in China.” The national MOHURD directs the provinces and essentially controls construction. Donaldson noted President Xi Jinping, in his recent sweeping address to the 19th Congress of the Communist Party of China, emphasized clean, pre-fabricated building systems. Things don’t happen quickly in wood industry talks with the U.S., where the central government isn’t ruled by dictators, but by its lumber industry lobby. Using the same subsidy accusations that have failed repeatedly in international trade rulings, the U.S. has forced Canadian softwood producers to fork over $500 million in countervailing and anti-dumping duties
since last spring. This American shakedown of Canada has been going on for decades. In the managed trade arrangement that ran from 2006 to 2015, Canadian lumber mills paid punitive duties averaging about 11 per cent. Now, after a preliminary ruling was generously scaled back by the U.S. Department of Commerce, our producers are paying about 20 per cent directly into the pockets of U.S. lumber barons. B.C. Council of Forest Industries CEO Susan Yurkovich has repeatedly pointed out this U.S. protectionism doesn’t work. It can’t work, because the U.S. doesn’t produce enough lumber to meet its own construction demand. If it blocks lumber from B.C., which represents half of Canada’s exports south, it will have to buy lumber from overseas. The real purpose of this U.S. industry trade bullying is to push up the price of American products and that is working extremely well. U.S. lumber and structural panel prices hit a near record last week. The good news for B.C. is the price is high enough that sales to the U.S. are easily covering the cost of duties. That’s being passed on to U.S. builders and homeowners. One of these days, U.S. President Donald Trump and his team of trade geniuses may figure this out and begin to consider free trade in lumber. Until then, Canada and B.C. are well advised to continue working on the Asia market. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
NOW OR NEVER FOR CARDIAC CARE AT RIH Editor: When the Interior Health Authority was established, Kamloops was assured Royal Inland Hospital would remain a tertiary hospital. However, our region and its citizens have been allowed to fall behind when it comes to emergency life-saving procedures, in particular a cardiac-care unit (CCU) with coronary catheterization lab (cath lab). Kamloops cardiac patients are already using critical-care beds throughout the hospital and the previous B.C. Liberal government agreed to establish a CCU to place cardiac patients in a single area. This falls short of what we should expect of a tertiary hospital. Patients will still have to be transported to Kelowna or Vancouver in ambulances for diagnosis and treatment. As Ray Jones stated in his Oct. 12 letter to the editor (‘Bennett years are over; time to give RIH cardiac-care unit’),
patients will have to wait for months. And this wait is a ticking time bomb where lives can be lost and lives may have already been wasted due to of a lack of relatively affordable equipment. In the past decade, the ICCHA/Wish Fund has provided critical equipment in almost every department of Royal Inland Hospital. Our challenge now is to establish a cath lab for the CCU being planned so diagnosis and treatment can be done right here in Kamloops. This will save both lives and money. We have already started to build our fund for a cath lab, with more than $100,000 pledged. We lost our promised full-fledged cancer clinic and, now, even basic cardiac services are not provided locally. Kamloopsians should be demanding our government and Interior Health do what is right for everyone in the city, instead of focusing funds and personnel in Kelowna.
With our new complement of six cardiologists living and working here, we can perform routine angioplasty and insert stents without having to send patients to Kelowna. With urgent heart conditions, minutes and hours matter. There is no time to delay or load a patient into an ambulance for a traumatic journey. If we do not raise our concerns now, we will have a $417-million hospital expansion that will allow the country’s No. 1 killer to continue to take lives. While it would require dedicated space, the actual cath lab equipment will cost only about $600,000, which is a tiny fraction of the cost of the planned tower expansion. It’s now or never. Your support and opinion count. Al Patel founder, ICCHA/Wish Fund at RIH Dr. Bas Gowd and Anil Parekh ICCHA/Wish Fund at RIH directors
CHEERING DUDY SPOT ON WITH CALL FOR DECORUM FOR ZERO Editor: Let not staff at city hall gloat over the prospect of keeping next year’s property tax hike under two per cent. I will be rooting for them when any tax increase is neutralized to zero. I am praying that year will soon be in offing. Ryan Mitra Kamloops
Editor: My thanks to Kamloops Coun. Dieter Dudy for commenting on the lack of civility and respect displayed by our elected leaders in the legislature (‘View From City Hall: Searching
for decorum,’ Nov. 14). We need to let them know we expect a much higher level of civil debate and discussion to facilitate co-operation in actually getting things done. Running our province is
not a game — it’s a job. We try to teach our young people to be respectful. We need our leaders to set a much better example. Bonnie Sokoloski Kamloops
GIVE $100,000 TO GROUPS THAT HELPED Editor: Re: the proposed memorial for wildfire volunteers: It is nice to be memorialized, but as one of those volunteers, I would rather see that same money go to funding groups that were there from Day 1 and
until the last evacuees went home, such as St. John Ambulance, Salvation Army and Canadian Red Cross Those groups and their volunteers stepped up every day to help, and at great expense. They did that because they live
here and because they care very deeply about their community. They do not have deep pockets and some of that $100,000 would enable them to be better prepared for the next event. Scott Brown Kamloops

Firefighters, politicos feed the needy Kamloops firefighters and local politicians were dishing up lunch at New Life Community Kamloops on Friday, a program the head of the local firefighters’ union said is intended to help those less fortunate at a tough time of the year. “We’re trying to acknowledge there’s a bit of a gap between Thanksgiving
and Christmas,” said Kris Krutop, president of IAAF Local 913. “There’s a need to make sure everyone in our city is fed and clothed — and these guys do a great job, so we’re happy to help them.” Krutop said KFR members also donated $800 to the social services agency.
The donation and volunteer work is in lieu of KFR’s annual fundraising calendar, which Krutop said is on a oneyear hiatus. He said organizers are planning for next year’s calendar, work that includes an eye toward online sales. New Life Community Kamloops opened in 1980 and provides outreach and poverty relief services.

Arrests, drug seizures in RCMP blitz Kamloops Mounties, with the help of the provincial anti-gang police agency, arrested numerous people and seized various amounts of drugs during an enforcement blitz in the city last week. Cpl. Jeff Bingley said Mounties targeted people known to be involved in the drug trade during the Nov. 14 and Nov. 15 operation in Kamloops. As a result, Mounties made a number of arrests and seizures: • A large quantity of heroin and cocaine was seized after a vehicle stop that led to the arrest of two people for possession for the purpose of trafficking. • A male being arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking after a vehicle stop, at which approximately 45 individual packages of cocaine were seized. • Six people with outstanding warrants were arrested. • Three people were arrested for being
in violation of conditions imposed in court on their probation orders. • Two vehicles were impounded when the drivers were found to be impaired by narcotics. The drivers were subsequently issued 24-hour driving prohibitions. • One male was found driving while being suspended under the Criminal Code and Motor Vehicle Act. The vehicle, in which stolen goods were found, was impounded. • A male was arrested in connection with a bait car activation in which he is alleged to have stolen property from the car. Police are also seeking a second male in connection with items stolen from another bait car. • Numerous prohibited weapons were seized. The enforcement blitz was enacted following a series of violent incidents in Kamloops involving shootings.

Kamloops Mounties have attributed the spike in violence to the vacuum left by the Sept. 21 gangland slaying of Konaam Shirzad outside his Guerin Creek home. Shirzad was the co-founder of the Red Scorpions gang in the Lower Mainland and had moved to Kamloops, where he operated a gym. Police say Shirzad had people working for him in the drug trade, none involved in organized crime. Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said at a Nov. 7 press conference that Shirzad’s murder has resulted in criminals trying to “fill the void” at the top of Kamloops’ drug trade. “It has let to some uncertainty and instability in the drug subculture in Kamloops,” he said. “Unfortunately, this has led to an uptick in violence. Ultimately, it has led to these conflicts.”

Legislative committe urges government to compensate CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
B.C’s legislative finance committee is recommending the NDP government assist people, businesses and communities devastated by this summer’s wildfires. The select standing committee on finance and government services issued its report to the legislature last week. The committee consists of members of all three parties, included rookie KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA Peter Milobar (B.C. Liberal). It toured the province, stopping in Kamloops in early October. “We heard a lot of concerns [regarding wildfires] in Williams
Lake and Prince George,” Milobar said. “As a committee, we conveyed that to government.” The committee heard from businesses facing labour shortages because some workers did not return after being evacuated. It also heard submissions on allowing salvage logging of recoverable timber for a resource with a rapidly declining value. Communities are also pushing for swift reforestation. Among the themes heard in the finance committee’s stop in Kamloops was fairness in funding to post-secondary institutions. Thompson Rivers University is one of a number of regional institutions that receive significantly less money
than B.C.’s research-intensive University of B.C., Simon Fraser University, University of Victoria and University of Northern British Columbia. “TRU and a couple of institutions brought forward a concern about funding levels not in line with the average,” Milobar said. “It’s trying to recognize universities have evolved from when they were first accredited [a decade ago] as regional universities.” The committee report also mentions the proposed fouryear engineering program at TRU, something promised by the B.C. Liberals prior to the May election. The NDP government has not yet taken a stand on expansion of the program.
TNRD hires manager to look at impact from summer’s wildfires The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) has hired Colin O’Leary as a community recovery manager to assess the impact from this past summer’s wildfires on businesses in the regional district. O’Leary will lead a project that will consist of three main components: • Engaging the business community affected by the 2017 wildfire season in the TNRD through in-person meetings,
community engagement sessions and surveys; • Quantifying the economic loss in the region, identifying existing resources available and highlighting any gaps in support programs for businesses in the area; • Recommending options moving forward to address gaps in support for businesses looking to recover from the wildfire season. Businesses that were impact-
ed by the recent wildfires can contact O’Leary by email at recovery@tnrd.ca. The work being undertaken by the TNRD to support businesses is in addition to other initiatives already underway. It was previously announced that a recovery management resource was put in place to help residents and property owners in the regional district who were impacted by the wildfires this summer.

New hire at city hall KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The City of Kamloops will add a new public relations manager to its roster by the beginning of 2018. CAO David Trawin said the position, which will cost the city about $100,000 per year, comes after an external review of the city’s communications team. The first round of interviews for the job were completed last week. Tammy Robertson, who previously held the title of communication and community engagement manager, is moving into a new role as the city’s external relations manager. Trawin said Robertson’s work with First Nations bands and groups including Venture Kamloops, the Kamloops Central and North Shore business improvement associations and others was leaving little time for communications work. “A lot of the external and internal communications couldn’t get done adequately,” he said.

Canadians warned to ‘buckle up’ for snowier winter than average SALMAAN FAROOQUI
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — One of Canada’s high-profile weather forecasters is warning Canadians across the country to brace for a whole lot of snow this winter. Chris Scott, The Weather Network’s chief meteorologist, said the message from his forecast team is “buckle up, because it looks like a stormy winter.’’ Scott said this year’s La Nina weather system bears a striking resemblance to that of 20072008, when Toronto had its snowiest winter on record. “History tells us that when we have cooler waters off the coast of South America, that’s La Nina, and those winters tend to be classic Canadian winters.’’ B.C., the Prairies, Ontario,
Quebec and Atlantic Canada are all in store for above normal levels of precipitation, according to the forecast. In western Canada, that precipitation will likely be snow as the region shivers in below normal temperatures. In Atlantic Canada, where temperatures are expected to be close to above normal, forecasters expect plenty of snow and ice but periods of milder weather and rain will keep snowbanks from getting too high. Scott said storms with lots of snow are forecast for December in the eastern half of Canada, while in the western half of the county, the winter conditions are expected to start in January. La Nina winters often mean changeable weather, and Scott said that while Canadians can

expect to be pounded by numerous snowstorms, there will also be sustained periods of milder weather. “You might get two out of three months where you think, ‘Wow, that was a wild winter,’ and then one month where the winter goes away,’’ he explained. “But this will be a winter that’s more on than off.’’ Scott said Southern Ontario and Quebec might see mild conditions during all of January. The weather forecast also calls for a winter that lingers, meaning the country could experience snowstorms as late as March. Scott noted that in the Prairies a strong snow pack could benefit soil conditions and help produce a bountiful spring harvest.

Zimbabwe’s Mugabe ignores calls to quit, faces impeachment HARARE, Zimbabwe — Zimbabweans mobilized Monday for what they hope is a major push to oust President Robert Mugabe, an increasingly isolated figure who faces impeachment proceedings and more street demonstrations even as he ignores calls to resign. While there is a national consensus that the 93-year-old president should go after nearly four decades in power, Mugabe has refused to step down as leader of a country that has known no other leader since independence from white minority rule in 1980. The conflicted role of the military, widely hailed as a saviour after effectively stripping Mugabe of his authority last week, is under scrutiny after its generals flanked him during a televised address Sunday night in which he asserted that he remained the “commander in chief’’ and referred to “our wellcherished constitutional order.’’ The generals have been involved in talks with him on a way out of the leadership crisis. While they acted outside his authority by sending tanks into the streets, they also projected deference in sitting by at the

U.S. declares North Korea state sponsor of terrorism WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced Monday the U.S. is putting North Korea’s “murderous regime’’ on America’s terrorism blacklist, despite questions about Pyongyang’s support for international attacks beyond the assassination of its leader’s halfbrother in February. Trump said the designation as a state sponsor of terror was long overdue and he promised a new wave of sanctions as part of a “maximum pressure campaign’’ over North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons that could soon pose a direct threat to the U.S. mainland. North Korea will join Iran, Sudan and Syria on the blacklist. The North had been designated for two decades until 2008 when it was removed in a bid to salvage international talks aimed

New allegation against U.S. Sen. Al Franken ST. PAUL, Minn. — A woman says Al Franken pulled her in tightly and put his hand on her buttocks in 2010 while posing for a picture at the Minnesota State Fair, the second allegation of improper conduct against the Democrat and first involving his time as a senator. Lindsay Menz told CNN last week for a report broadcast Monday that the interaction with the Minnesota senator made her feel “gross.’’ She said she immediately told her husband that Franken had “grabbed’’ her bottom and that she posted about it on Facebook. Menz’s story comes days after a Los Angeles broadcaster, Leeann Tweeden, accused Franken of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 USO tour. Franken already faced a Senate ethics investigation over Tweeden’s allegation, but the Menz allegation is potentially more damaging for Franken because it would be behaviour that occurred while he was in office.

Average Sun Peaks sale price at $416,500 RESIDENTIAL FIGURE UP FROM $360,000 A YEAR AGO IN GROWING SKI-RESORT COMMUNITY KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Sun Peaks has largely rebounded from the global recession of 2008 and 2009, with the average residential sales price climbing to $416,500 as of Oct. 31, compared to $360,000 as of the same date in 2016. The data comes from Sotheby’s International Realty’s Top-Tier Ski Real Estate Report, which looks at properties in Sun Peaks, Whistler, Canmore Alta., Blue Mountain, Ont., and Mont Tremblant, Que. In Sun Peaks between Jan. 1 and Oct. 31, there have been 45 sales of properties between $500,000 and $1 million, compared to 27 such sales during the same time period a year ago. In the $1-million-plus price range there have been two sales this year, compared to four in the 10-month period in 2016.
The report said low inventory coupled with high demand is leading to multiple offers on the majority of properties in Sun Peaks. “Properties coming onto the market that are ski-in/ski-out, tourist accommodation-zoned and priced between $200,000 and $700,000 are likely to see within the first week, receive multiple offers and sell over the asking price,” the report states. “It’s probably going to sell the first week on the market and in the neighbourhood of $20,000 over the list price with approximately five or six offer on it,” said Liz Forster, managing broker of Sotheby’s. “Every single listing.” While Sun Peaks real estate attracts a wide variety of buyers, the report states, they are primarily from B.C. Although international buyers remain what
the report calls “a nominal segment of the overall real estate market,” the low Canadian dollar has lured more tourists, the result being an uptick in buyers from Europe and Asia Pacific, including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The public school in Sun Peaks opened with 18 students and now has an enrolment of 120, and a new health centre is on the way, leading Sun Peaks to become one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the province. While the average residential sales price in Sun Peaks has reached $416,500, that figure is $1.09 million in Whistler, $732,000 in Canmore, $611,000 in Blue Mountain (two hours from Toronto) and $303,000 in Mont Tremblanc (two hours from Montreal and Ottawa and the only ski resort in the report that reported a decline in average residential sales price — down from $$320,000 in 2016).
It’s your money and our reputation. We take both seriously.

diversity and return areas to productive uses.” Fraser said the work he and his students and colleagues do and hope to expand in the future is, in essence, “research that makes an impact.” It is work that looks at ecosystems, sees how they change, sees why they change and determines their function. A handful of dirt might contain more than one-million potential microsystems, he said, and the kind of information that can be gathered by studying them has ongoing ecological relevance. “We are very lucky to live in this country filled with people who really appreciate the environment and who understand climate change is real,” Fraser said. A decision on the research chair application is expected from NSERC before the end of the year.

K
endra Woodland won’t soon forget a bus ride home with teammates last Monday. The 17-yearold goaltender from Kamloops, who plays for the midget tier 1 Thompson Blazers boys’ team, received a phone call from Delaney Collins. She was ringing with huge news — Woodland will play for Team Canada at the U18 World Women’s Hockey Championship, which runs from Jan. 6 to Jan. 13 in Dmitrov, Russia. “It wasn’t really much of an announcement on the bus,” Woodland said. “They just kind of saw me in shock and a couple tears. They were all so excited for me. It’s a crazy feeling.” Collins, head coach of the U18 Canadian women, had to be careful in a conversation with KTW earlier this month, unable to reveal too many thoughts on Woodland as the final 23-player roster had not yet been announced. But all signs were pointing toward Woodland wearing the Maple Leaf in Russia. She put up commendable numbers between the pipes and won bronze with Team B.C. at the National Women’s Under-18 Hockey Championship in Quebec City earlier this month. She also helped B.C. to bronze at nationals last year. Woodland played the most minutes of any goalie at the 2017 national championship, posting a 3-1 record, one shutout, a 1.63 goals-against average (GAA) and .928 save percentage. “She’s a really good goaltender,” Collins told KTW earlier this month. “That’s why she’s under consideration. “She represented her province very well at nationals.

summer and see her again last week and she did really well.” Woodland, a Westsyde secondary student, was one of three goalies chosen for Canada’s roster for a three-game series against the U.S. in August in Lake Placid, N.Y., along with Madelyn McArthur of St. Catharines, Ont., and Halle Oswald of Sanford, Man. Getting the call for that series was a good sign for any player aiming to wear the Maple Leaf in Russia. Woodland was over the moon about the opportunity to play for Canada against the Stars and Stripes, but never saw the ice. The U.S. won the series 2-1. “It was definitely hard to go through at the time, but it was
really motivation to just think, ‘You know what, I’m going to show you guys I could have played, I should have played,’” Woodland said. McArthur, who played in three games against the U.S. in August, backstopped a dominant Ontario Red team to gold at nationals earlier this month, posting a 3-0 record, .067 GAA and .973 save percentage. She joins Woodland and Logan Angers of Winnipeg as the goaltenders who will jostle for time in the crease in Russia. “It’s always going to be competition, whether it’s between girls on the team or against other countries,” Woodland said. “It’s nose to the stone, keep pushing and focus

My parents would say, ‘When’s the press release coming out?’ “My phone’s been lighting it up quite a bit.” Westsyde classmates were able to congratulate Woodland at school on Friday. “It’s a very indescribable feeling,” Woodland said. “I’m very, very proud to be able to have this

Brodi Stuart’s game-winning goal put the exclamation point on the much improved Kamloops Blazers’ perfect weekend at Sandman Centre. Kamloops topped the visiting Lethbridge Hurricanes 5-2 on Saturday in front of an announced crowd of 4,879, a night after besting the Vancouver Giants 6-2 on Mark Recchi Way. “It was a really good weekend for us,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay told reporters. “Lethbridge was a real desperate hockey club. They heated up in the first seven or eight minutes of the third period, when they tied it, and I thought we responded.” Jordy Bellerive, an 18-year-old Pittsburgh Penguins’ draft pick from North Vancouver, scored at 2:54 of the third period to tie the game at 2-2, completing the Canes’ recovery from a 2-0 deficit. Stuart, the 17-year-old forward from Langley, put the Blazers in front for good with less than five minutes to play in the third. “I was just driving wide and Benjy [Quinn Benjafield] gave me a really nice pass,” Stuart said. “I saw the D coming at me, so I took a shot and it went in. “It definitely brings the confidence level up. It lets me know I can play at this level.” Stuart, a 16-year-old midget
call-up when he scored late in the third period to keep the Blazers’ season alive in Game 6 of a first-round playoff series against Kelowna in March, has five goals and 15 points in 22 games this season. Benjafield, playing right wing on a line with centre Nick Chyzowski and left-winger Stuart, finished with a goal and three assists, bringing his point total last week to eight. He had three goals and five assists in three games. “I just liked that line as a whole,” Hay said. “Brodi has displayed loads of confidence and done a lot of good things.” Captain Chyzowski had two goals, including an empty-net marker to seal victory. Ondrej Vala also scored for Kamloops, a special goal as his family from Czech Republic was in town to watch him play. Tanner Nagel notched Lethbridge’s first goal, a powerplay marker at 10:08 of the second period. Kamloops goaltender Dylan Ferguson has won both his starts since returning from a stint with the Vegas Golden Knights. “What a weekend for the team, for sure,” Ferguson told KTW. “It’s a great feeling. Realistically, I’ve got to come here and play my heart out and win games for this team.” Ferguson made 25 saves in victory, while Stuart Skinner stopped 25 shots for
the ‘Canes in defeat. Lethbridge (7-12-1-0) is second-last in the Eastern Conference, three points ahead of the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Kamloops has this week to prepare for the Medicine Hat Tigers (13-7), who will be in town on Friday, the fourth game in the Blazers’ seven-game homestand.

Isabel Rattai of the Lethbridge Pronghorns looks to snare a rebound under duress from TRU WolfPack defenders at the Tournament Capital Centre on Saturday.
Pack get the Horns MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Neither of the Lethbridge Pronghorns’ basketball teams have suffered defeat this season and the TRU WolfPack are their latest conquests. Both the men’s and women’s Pronghorns improved to 8-0 in Canada West play with back-toback victories over the Pack at the Tournament Capital Centre on the weekend. “I would have taken some Vegas odds if you told me two months ago we would be unbeaten after eight starts,” said Dave Adams, head coach of the Lethbridge women. “We have been fortunate that we got healthy this year and the schedule has worked in our favour.” On the women’s side, the Pronghorns beat the WolfPack 79-59 on Saturday and 75-53 on Friday. Shenise Sigsworth, a fifth-year forward from Kamloops, led TRU with 12 points, four rebounds and one steal on Saturday. “The onus has to be on the players to work on their shooting, as well as going back to the basics in practice,” said Chuck Ferguson, assistant coach of the WolfPack women. “We are coming along. We are a young team. We expect some hiccups and bumps along the way.” TRU (4-4) has lost four straight games since beginning the season with four consecutive victories. On the men’s side, Lethbridge topped TRU 82-74 on Saturday and 104-90 on Friday. Tyus De Vries, a first-year guard from Chilliwack, helped pace the Pack on Saturday with 20 points, four rebounds and three steals. Joe Davis of Kamloops pitched in with 15 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals. “There was some good and some bad,” said Scott Clark, head coach of the WolfPack men. “I think we are getting better and we did some
good things. They are a good basketball team. We have to keep doing the right things and the results will come.” TRU (2-6) is mired in a five-game losing streak. The Mount Royal Cougars will play host to the WolfPack men and women this weekend in Calgary. Mount Royal’s men are 4-4, while its women are winless at 0-8.
Weekend sweeps
The TRU WolfPack men’s and women’s volleyball teams were on opposite ends of the broom in Winnipeg on the weekend. In women’s Canada West play, TRU swept a pair of matches against the Winnipeg Wesmen, winning 3-2 on Saturday and 3-0 on Friday. “I like the way we ended up scrapping it out when we didn’t have our best stuff,” Chad Grimm, head coach of the WolfPack women, said on Saturday. “We found a way to hang in there. Moving forward, we have to clean that up in order to be successful.” TRU improved to 4-4 on the season, while Winnipeg dropped to 1-9. On the men’s side, the Wesmen swept the WolfPack, winning 3-2 on Saturday and 3-0 on Friday. “[We] lost a close one in the fifth set,” TRU men’s volleyball head coach Pat Hennelly said on Saturday. “By far our best volleyball of the year. Would have been nice to get the victory, but really happy with the compete level of the team tonight.” The Pack dropped to 2-6, while the Wesmen improved to 9-1. TRU will play host to the Manitoba Bisons men (2-6) and women (4-4) this weekend at the TCC. Match times for the women are 6 p.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. on Saturday, with the men’s tilts to follow both nights. — with files from TRU sports information

Obituaries & In Memoriam Marguerite Louisa Faint 1948 - 2017
With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Marguerite Louisa Faint who, while in the arms of her ever-loving daughter Shannon-Anne, slipped gracefully into the eternal light. Marg’s indomitable spirit allowed her five year battle with cancer to end with a final truce in the early morning hours of November 16, 2017 at the age of 69. She is survived by her only child Shannon, her brothers Edward “Ted”, Rowan (Carol-anne), son-in-law Jeffrey Murphy, granddaughter Shea, grandsons London and Teague, several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sister Avril Cottrell and her parents Harry and Anne Faint. Born in New Westminster, Marg was raised in Kamloops and graduated from St. Ann’s Academy in 1969, then went on to work at Sears for the next 45 years, during which time she managed to earn her Bachelor of Arts from University College of the Cariboo. Marg’s boundless love and devotion to family was shown in her untold sacrifices for her aging parents and did not end after their passing, but continued with her doting love for her grandchildren that will be terribly missed. Generous to a fault, Marguerite always thought of others before herself. Friends, co-workers, even strangers and her good friends (or anyone who’s received a dish of her
cabbage rolls or baked spaghetti) all know the extent of her kindness and generosity.
Mr. Donald Marcel Poirier
Marguerite also leaves behind her dearest little dog Bailey.
Don was born in New Westminster, BC and married Lise Bilodeau in 1972. During their 45 years of marriage, Don and Lise had many adventures and even spent a year exploring across North America. Don will always be remembered and loved for truly living life to the fullest and by the motto “I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up”.
Her favorite charity was the SPCA so a small donation in her memory would be appreciated. Marg requested there be no ceremony. Mum (Grandma) we will miss you dearly, so with all the fondness in our hearts we offer you this Peace Prayer of St. Francis, whom you so loved:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
April 17, 1952 - November 15, 2017
Don could always be found hunting for a deal, the most powerful motor or a stranger to befriend. Don was truly a devoted husband and father, entertaining and devoted grandfather and a wise-ass amazing friend. Don is sadly missed by his wife Lise, sons Dan and Jason, daughters-in-law Christy and Jen and twin grandchildren Lacey and Jesse. Don is also survived by his three sisters, many nieces and nephews, extended family and numerous adoring friends. A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, November 21, 2017 at 2:00 pm at Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

The Angel on Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin
There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder. Bereavement Publishing Inc. 5125 N.

Irene Marie (Muzzillo) Ulveland After a brief illness, Irene Marie Ulveland (Muzzillo), 86, passed away peacefully in Kelowna General Hospital surrounded by her loving family on November 1, 2017 - eleven months after losing the love of her life and best friend Clancy. Her life’s story began on May 24, 1931 in Kamloops, BC. As a young girl, she attended St. Ann’s Academy and Kamloops High School where she made life-long friends. She followed in her Mother and Aunt’s footsteps and became a hairstylist. She spoke fondly of her hairstyling days, particularly her time working at Woodward’s in downtown Vancouver and at the Banff Springs Hotel. In 1953, she married Clancy. Their marriage, a love story that began when they met at a hockey game a year earlier, would span over 63 years. Together they raised three children and embraced all the joy, adventures and challenges life offered. Wherever Clancy’s work took him, Irene was ready to go. She had a way for making any new space a warm and welcoming home. She was exceptionally organized, gracefully stylish and took pride in her surroundings. Irene and Clancy spent many wonderful years together travelling, skiing, golfing, entertaining and spending time with family. When Clancy slowed down she lovingly cared for him until his passing. Irene devoted her life to her family; Clancy, her children and five grandchildren were the center of her world. Irene was an involved and supportive mother, always interested in the details and never hesitated to share her opinion. She loved the uniqueness of each grandchild, celebrated their milestones and was very proud of all their accomplishments.
In her later years Irene embraced technology, enough to exchange emails and photos with family and friends. She loved her ladies golf days, going shopping and buying scratch tickets. She never turned down the opportunity for a visit over a cup of coffee. Irene was as spirited and witty, as she was thoughtful and caring. Despite the various challenges she faced during the years, she remained positive and embraced life. Irene will be dearly missed by all who loved her. Irene is lovingly remembered by her children Dennis (Patti) Ulveland, Andrea (Patrick) Gold, Brian (Carmen) Ulveland and her grandchildren Kirsten, Marisa, Jada, Tanner and Logan. She is also remembered by her sister-in-law Claire (Albert d.) and her brother-in-law Lorne (Lorraine) Ulveland and her long-time friend Olga (William d.) Giebelhaus. Also by her many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. She is predeceased by her husband Clancy Ulveland, her parents Antonio and Ernestine Muzzillo and her brother Albert Muzzillo. The family would like to acknowledge Hawthorne Park Staff for their kindness and caring they showed Irene. They also wish to thank Penny and the golf-gals for their friendship. A family remembrance will be held at a later date. In Irene’s words “Bye for now… Condolences may be expressed at www.springfieldfuneralhome.com
IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES
If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
But just in case I might be wrong, And today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you And I hope we never forget.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss And call you back for one more.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, Young or old alike, And today may be the last chance You get to hold your loved one tight.
If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, Why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, You’ll surely regret the day,
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute To stop and say “I love you,” Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
That you didn’t take that extra time For a smile, a hug, or a kiss And you were too busy to grant someone, What turned out to be their one last wish.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
So hold your loved ones close today, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them And that you’ll always hold them dear
For surely there’s always tomorrow To make up for an oversight, And we always get a second chance To make everything just right.
Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, You’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989
There will always be another day To say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance To say our “Anything I can do?”
