Drunk driver who killed man to be sentenced tomorrow

By Tim PetrukSTAFF REPORTER

[email protected]

A man who was banished from the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve after drunkenly running over and kill-ing a band elder last year tearfully apologized to the victim’s family in a Kamloops courtroom on Thursday, Oct. 10.

Robert Bill will be sentenced on Wednesday, Oct. 16.

“I’m sorry and I can’t imagine the pain I’ve put you guys through,” Bill told the packed courtroom, filled with supporters of Bill and friends and family of David Seymour, the man whose life he took.

“It’s something I have to live with for the rest of my life. I feel like I owe you guys an apology.”

The hearing had to be moved at the last minute to a larger courtroom to accommodate the dozens of sup-porters from both sides wanting to take in the proceedings.

Bill pleaded guilty to one count each of dangerous driving causing death and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

At about 11 p.m. on July 20, 2012, the 32-year-old was driving drunk when his vehicle collided with Seymour, 64, on an unlit stretch of

West Shuswap Road.Court heard Seymour was walk-

ing on the shoulder of the road at the time, while Bill was driving on the wrong side of the road and travel-ling approximately 20 km/h over the speed limit.

Reading an agreed statement of facts in court, Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said Bill was mourning the recent murder of his best friend, who happened to be the cousin of the man he killed.

Jesse Seymour, 29, was murdered on July 15, 2012, at a house party in downtown Kamloops.

Court heard the elder Seymour was also the father of another of Bill’s close friends.

Following the collision, Bill told police he had been on a two-day binge mourning the death of his friend.

Balison said Bill’s car hit Seymour from behind.

“The vehicle struck Mr. Seymour in the back of the leg, throwing him up onto the windshield,” Balison said.

“He came to rest some 15 metres from the point of impact.”

After striking Seymour, Bill fled the scene and drove to his parents’ house, where he crashed into his mother’s van in the driveway.

FULL STEAM AHEADBy Dale Bass

If enthusiasm were dollars, the heritage steam train would be chugging down the tracks today.

Instead, an energetic team led by a NorKam secondary student is busy now putting together fundraisers, as are other train enthusiasts who are labouring

in the workshop, taking apart Kamloops Heritage Railway’s steam train 2141.

Jordan Popadynetz is just 16, but he’s been volunteering with the Kamloops Heritage Train Society for four years.

Ask him why and the expla-nation pours out.

He says it’s because he cares about what the train means to the city.

But, when it comes down to it, it’s because the Grade 11 student talks to people who miss hearing the whistle and riding the train in the summer and on spe-cial occasions.

“They talk about how Kamloops is not the same with-out it, so we have to get it up and running,” Jordan says.

Jordan Popadynetz and Kiana Higo are high-school students helping raise money to get the iconic Kamloops Heritage Railway 2141 steam train back on track. There are two fundraising events planned. Call 250-374-5483 to buy tickets. Dave Eagles/KTW

FIRE CHIEF IS A REAL GEMMADallas elementary Grade 3 student Gemma Hughes was chosen this year as fire chief for a day, helping to lead Kamloops Fire Rescue firefighters, like Scott Leslie, on Thursday, Oct. 10. Gemma learned the finer points of dousing a blaze while at the Kamloops Fire Rescue Training Centre in the McGill industrial area. She also visited local fire halls as part of chiefly duties.

Fewer electrical fi res as smart meters growBy Tom Fletcher

BLACK PRESStfl [email protected]

Completion of BC Hydro’s smart-meter program has coincided with a continued decline in electri-cal fires in the province, accord-ing to a new analysis of records from the B.C. Office of the Fire Commissioner.

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis has been tracking residential fire sta-tistics since 2010 for his work as adjunct professor of criminology at the University of the Fraser Valley.

After successfully pushing for a 2006 law allowing fire departments to find indoor marijuana grow operations by their electrical usage, Garis has continued to assess the effects of BC Hydro’s smart-grid

program on preventing fires.Adding another year of fire

statistics, from June 2012 to June 2013, shows a continued decline in electrical fires, including those related to illegal electrical bypasses and hot grow lamps found to be connected with illegal marijuana growing.

Garis noted the data shows electrical fires of all sorts account for only a small part of all struc-ture fires in B.C.

Out of 1,801 total residential fires in the latest year available, 150 were found to be caused by electrical discharge. That’s a 12.3 per cent decline since 2011, when the smart-meter program began.

The reports show that over three years, only one fire originated

on an exterior wall, ignited by an electrical panel board.

That was in 2011, before smart-meter installation began. There have been no fires attributed to the meter program, with 1.8-million wireless meters installed.

Fires caused by illegal meter bypasses dropped from eight in 2011 to six in 2012 to only three in 2013.

BC Hydro has reported that installers located and removed ille-gal bypasses around the province as part of the smart-meter program, and also replaced 1,200 meter bases found to be faulty.

Garis said the results clearly show people should not worry about their electrical meters and pay attention to by far the largest

sources of house fires — cooking and smoking.

The statistics show cooking-related fires are on the increase, even as total residential fires have declined in B.C.

Of 1,998 total fires reported in 2011, 575 were ignited by cooking equipment.

In 2013, total fires declined to 1,801 but the number of cooking fires rose to 621.

Fires caused by smoking declined by 11 per cent for 2013, but there were still 302 fires ignit-ed by smoking materials.

Garis said the statistic of most concern is that 79 per cent of people who died in fires, whatever the source, were in a home without a working smoke detector.

COVER PAGE STORY

Harvesting donationsThat’s a challenge

right now as the society has had to shut down the annual runs — including the popular Ghost Train this month — and take the engine apart to determine how much work is required to repair it so it can operate again with per-mission from Transport Canada and the B.C. Safety Authority.

Kiana Higo, a Grade 10 student at Beattie School of the Arts, also wants to see the piece of history run-ning again, which is why she’s working with Jordan on a couple of fundraisers.

One fundraiser, Harvest High Tea, is almost ready to go, while the other, Spirit of Christmas, is still being firmed up.

Harvest High Tea will be held on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will see the train’s cars decorated to celebrate harvest, with fine linen and china on the tables in the dining car and 12 types of tea ready to be poured, along with other goodies.

Entertainment is planned for the open cars and tours will be given of the train and the workshop, where the engine now sits with much of its insides on the floor, waiting to be tested to determine how much repair is needed.

Volunteers will be in period costume and, if Jordan’s enthu-siasm carries on, the day will have more things planned before it arrives.

Spirit of Christmas is tentatively set for Dec. 18 to Dec. 22 and plans are to light it up, have entertainment and food — without the linen and china — and Santa in the caboose.

Society past-pres-ident Glen Wideman says it’s volunteers like Kiana and Jordan who are the future of the society, noting they bring an energy that is needed, which helps inspire other volunteers to put in the hours needed to complete the restoration project.

Donations continue to come in and a final cost has yet to be deter-mined, but some of the big work has already been done.

Society members and others spent the summer taking the engine apart, removing the long steel tubes — either originals or ones put in during a rebuild

in 1958, Wideman says — and preparing the engine for the next step, a test to deter-mine the integrity of the shell.

The readings the test provides must go to a professional engineer for study and analysis, something akin to a doctor checking an X-ray to find any tiny cracks or major breaks.

Once that is done, likely next month, the society will head back to city council, which helps fund the train.

‘And we tell them it’s fixable and this is how much we need,” Wideman says.

Costs have varied to a high of about $400,000 or more, he says, but no one will really know until all the tests are done.

Wideman says experts have told him it will cost about $40,000 to replace the many

tubes and probably that amount again in labour — but even that won’t be confirmed until the tubes are tested to determine their viabil-ity.

“We are hoping we won’t have to replace them at all,” Wideman says.

The society has col-lected about $28,000 and members are head-ing to Chilliwack on Oct. 19 to sell train-related goods the soci-ety owns at a hobby train show.

Brian Kelly at Kelly’s Kaboose, 634 Victoria St., is also selling donated train memorabilia.

All the money raised at the harvest and Christmas events will go into the fund.

Jordan has already raised plenty of money selling train-promotion buttons at a barbecue at his school.

But, it’s not enough, he says.

He has already sold a lot of tickets for the tea and has his eye on a final take for both events that is at least four figures — with a comma.

“I love this engine,” he says. “It needs to run again.”

Tickets for the Harvest Tea are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, $15 for youth, $10 for children and free for those five and younger.

Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

For Katherine McParland, the Thursday, Oct. 10, Out of the Ashes Bursary celebration at the Kamloops Yacht Club was perfectly timed.

The bursary, presented by the Phoenix Centre, is awarded to post-second-ary students between the ages of 17 and 35 who have battled addiction and who have been sober for at least a year.

In McParland’s case, it was exactly two years as Thursday was the “birthday” of her recov-ery, as she put it.

“I’ve never felt so supported and fulfilled in my life,” said McParland, who works as a life-skills co-ordinator for ASK Wellness and is finishing up a BA in social work.

“It’s really neat being on the other side of things because I understand where they’re coming from. It’s just really beau-tiful to be able to do that.”

Since 2007, the Phoenix Centre has handed out 19 of the bursaries, but 2013 was a particularly big year for the program — with five bursary recipients.

All five bursaries awarded this year were for the maximum amount — $2,500.

“It’s our largest num-ber ever,” said youth counsellor Leanne Kopytko, who helped cre-ate the bursary with her late husband, Ron.

When the program first started, it had a single bursary.

While this was McParland’s first bursary, other recipients have ben-efited from the program for two or three years.

“Doing nursing pro-grams, social-work pro-grams, they’re-long term programs,” Kopytko said.

“It’s three or four years for people and, a lot of time, these people are single parents as well.

“So, they’re trying to balance having financial responsibility as well as

the responsibility with school.”

Heather Cameron, a second-year nursing stu-dent at Thompson Rivers University receiving her second bursary, said the award is a bright spot in the daily grind of sober life.

“The first year of recovery is pumping,” she joked while collecting her bursary.

“You get six months, you get a cake. You can eat whatever you want.”

But, beyond the first year, when some of the excitement fades, Cameron said staying in recovery can be difficult and is worth rewarding.

“I love things that believe in addicts and make them want to strive to better themselves.”

Like McParland, Cameron is using her experiences with addic-tion in her studies — in her case, speaking up for addicted women who might otherwise be dis-missed by some in the medical system.

“I want to be that voice for people who don’t have that voice,” she said.

LOCAL NEWS

Balison said Bill then went “on the run” for five hours before show-ing up at the Kamloops RCMP’s Battle Street detachment to turn him-self in, where he gave a statement to police.

“He told them he was on a two-day alcohol binge and he was really drunk because his best friend, Jesse Seymour, had recently been stabbed,” Balison said.

“He told police he was very sorry for what he did.”

Court heard Bill has since been banished from TIB land by chief and council.

The Crown is seeking a two-year jail sentence on the charge of dan-gerous driving causing death, in addition to a six-month term for flee-ing the scene.

Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate, mean-while, is seeking a two-year jail term followed by three years of proba-tion.

Tate described Bill’s troubled childhood, which he said included regular beatings at the hands of his stepmother.

He said the stigma with which Bill has been living since the collision and death has had a big impact on him.

“He has lost his com-munity, he has lost his friends,” Tate said.

“Mr. Bill has suffered a penalty [banishment] that is not contemplated in our Criminal Code as a punishment. It’s some-thing he’s going to have to carry with him for a long time.”

Tate said Bill, who has been free on bail for the past year, has not had a drink since the colli-sion, noting he hopes to seek treatment while in a federal penitentiary.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley reserved sentencing until Wednesday, Oct. 16.

Meanwhile, Torbin Alec, the man charged in the stabbing death of Jesse Seymour, is slated to stand trial beginning on Oct. 28.

For those who could not attend the first half of the Paint the City Pink fundraiser, part two takes place this week.

Jonni’s Styling Studio and the Kamloops YMCA have teamed up for the event, which raises money for breast-can-cer research.

On Sept. 28, the downtown YMCA and Jonni’s provided Pink Ink Streaks (tempo-rary vegetable-based colour), pink hair extensions and pink feathers to participants for a donation.

The second half of the fundraising event will be held on Thursday, Oct. 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., at the North Shore YMCA.

No appointment is necessary and every-

one is welcome.For those who par-

ticipate, free gifts will be given on behalf of Paul Mitchell System

Last year, Paint the City Pink raised and donated more than $2,000 to the Royal Inland Hospital Cancer Clinic.

Have your say on city’s ag plan

The City of Kamloops’ agricul-ture-advisory commit-tee and development and engineering ser-vices staff are ready to present the draft agriculture area plan for review and com-ment.

Residents are

invited to attend one of several open-house events to review strate-gies and actions pro-posed in the plan and give feedback before the plan is presented to city council.

Open-house dates are as follows:

• Monday, Oct. 21 — Tournament Capital Ranch plaza area, 5375 Yellowhead Hwy., Rayleigh, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

• Wednesday, Oct. 23 — Interior Savings Centre Parkside Lounge, 300 Lorne St., downtown, noon to 1:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

• Thursday, Oct. 24 — Barnhartvale

Community Hall, 7390 Barnhartvale Rd., 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Open houses are drop-in events at which light refresh-ments will be served.

For those not able to attend an open house, all documents available at the events will also be posted online at www.kam-loops.ca/environment/land-publicparticipa-tion.shtml.

For more informa-tion on the agriculture area plan or to pro-vide feedback in lieu of attending an open house, call 250-828-3568 or email [email protected].

Peace is more than just the ending of a war.

It could be work-ing with victims of violence.

It could be fundraising to help improve the situa-

tion in a Third World country.

It could be advo-cating for inclusive-ness in Kamloops.

And, said Darcy Harris of the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA, there are

plenty of people in the city doing work that promotes peace at home, some on their own, others in organi-zations — each wor-thy of consideration for the Y’s annual Peace Medal.

Nominations are open for the 2013 medal presentation, Harris said, with the award set to be pre-sented during YMCA Peace Week, which runs from Nov. 16 to Nov. 23.

The initiative was started in 1987 by volunteers and staff at the Fredericton branch of the Y orga-nization and spread from there.

Kamloops joined the program in 2006.

Harris said a selec-tion committee has criteria to follow, but the guidelines are broad, all built around the Y’s principles of respect, caring, responsibility, inclu-siveness and honesty.

A nomination form and more infor-mation is available online at kamloopsy.org/peace.

The peace-medal nomination deadline is Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Y Peace Medal nominations open to Oct. 23

Joey Kineshanko got a chance to put his education to work in the most basic of ways — he hopped into a big backhoe behind his school and sent that claw into the ground.

And, with that, he officially marked the start of a project that is already well underway and which brought smiles of relief to the faces of those in the Kamloops-Thompson school district who have worked for years to cre-ate a trades and technol-ogy school.

The timing was appropriate com-ing right around Thanksgiving as the many speakers noted how thankful they were to see the NorKam Trades Centre of Excellence go from powerpoint presenta-tions and lobbying efforts to actual con-struction.

When complete next year, the centre will have four skills and trades training shops and two lecture areas. The curriculum

will include mining, transport-truck driving, entry-level industrial, construction trades, refrigeration and air conditioning and civil engineering.

Joey also addressed the crowd gathered in the parking lot of NorKam secondary, praising the trades program in the school district and telling everyone how, after taking part in the heavy-metals program last year, he obtained a job that he was faced with quitting at the end of the summer for a return to school.

His work experi-ence, however, counted toward graduation credits and, he noted, his education led to a skill that now means he doesn’t have to be back in a classroom, but doing a job he loves — and still eligible to graduate.

Joining him in speaking of the trades program were Kaitlyn Chantler and Isaac Moonen.

In introducing Isaac, school principal Jonathan Brady noted the teen had spent hours earlier this week after

school helping with the regular Rotary fam-ily dinners held at the school. Isaac then took to the podium and talk-ed of how he had found his calling and grown in confidence through his culinary-arts schooling.

Kaitlyn told the group of her struggles with school, of how she wouldn’t want to get up in the morning and head to class until she enrolled in NorKam’s hairdressing program.

She found a reason

to want to go to school and not just learn a skill that appealed to her, but learn one at which she excelled and could share with others.

The centre is pro-jected to cost $7.4 mil-lion, with the Ministry of Education contribut-ing $4.6 million and the province’s skills and training program chip-ping in $1.7 million.

The rest is being paid for by the Kamloops-Thompson school district.

No longer ignorant about teen bullying

Publisher: Kelly [email protected]: Christopher [email protected]

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

Is the world a safer place for kids since Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd killed herself on Oct. 10, 2012, after posting that heart-wrenching video seen around the world?

No, but we have learned a few things since.

We’ve learned, for example, the Internet can be a rough, cruel world for kids unless they are taught how to protect themselves and their pri-vacy — and we know the Internet

is a powerful tool for ruin-ing someone’s reputation.

We’ve seen that vulner-able girls and boys are

easily exploited online by voyeurs who lure them with false names and post their pictures and videos, sometimes with devastating conse-quences.

We learned, as well, that rape culture is so deeply ingrained in our society that Canadian univer-sity students didn’t see anything wrong with frosh-week chants about sex with underage girls until authorities found out and put a stop to it.

We’ve learned it’s easy to troll the Internet for photos and then post them, without consent, as a Facebook dating chat room did with a picture of Rehtaeh Parsons (the Nova Scotia teen who com-mitted suicide after photos of an alleged gang-rape were posted).

Simply put, laws are inadequate for dealing with meanness and stupidity on the web. Even Port Coquitlam couldn’t find a way to legislate against bullying.

But, there has been some action, too. B.C.’s ERASE Bullying web-site, available during the school year, provides resources for fami-lies with bullying concerns, and administrators and school counsel-lors are being trained to identify and support at-risk youth.

The Kids Help Phone got more publicity about its services for kids and the BC Coroner’s Service studied youth suicide this fall and recommended more collaboration and resources.

Will all this talk prevent another Amanda Todd situation from occur-ring?

Maybe not — but we can no longer use ignorance as an excuse.

Old and creaky — but South Kam continues to do its jobMY DAUGHTER

attends South Kamloops secondary.

She is in her sec-ond year at the old school and, from her first day in Grade 8 last year, has regaled me with tales of the decrepitude that encompasses the campus.

The gymnasium and change rooms form most of the narrative, though there is plenty of time to list deficiencies found elsewhere in the school.

The South Kam building is fair-ly old — 61 years, though a mere infant compared to nearby Stuart Wood elementary, which has been housing students for more than a century.

For students entering South Kam from relatively newer ele-mentary schools, the aging struc-ture can only add to the shock of the drastic change that accompa-nies transitioning from Grade 7 to Grade 8.

While the Kamloops-Thompson school district has drawn up its wish list and handed it to Education Minister Peter Fassbender, the reality is my daughter and her friends will have long graduated by the time the first shovel is placed into the ground at Ninth and Munro.

If and when a new South Kam rises, it will be a half-decade or more before work even begins in the project.

The school district wants to replace South Kam and believes

$43 million will get the job done.The district also wants to

expand Westmount elementary for about $9 million.

Then there is the $1.7 million needed to make the John Peterson building at South Kam a kinder-garten to Grade 12 facility for the Beattie School of the Fine Arts.

All worthy goals, to be sure, but also all worthy goals compet-ing with equally worthy goals in school districts across the prov-ince.

Fassbender was in Kamloops last week to help with the ceremo-nial groundbreaking of NorKam secondary’s trades centre.

He acknowledged a new South Kam is a priority, but reminded Kamloopsians there are many such priorities throughout B.C.

It would be interesting to see a provincial list of schools that need to be replaced.

It would be interesting to com-pare the schools and learn where South Kam stands in the priority queue.

I have walked the halls of the school a few times.

I have visited the gym.The smell upon entering the

school always brings me back to my high-school years, when I attended a school that was born right about the same time.

My alma mater, Abbotsford Senior secondary, was opened in 1955 and was, like South Kam, the largest school in the district, hous-ing 1,000-plus students.

When I roamed its halls, the building was about 30 years old and showing a bit of wear and tear.

I last entered that build-ing about eight years ago and it seemed to be in fairly good shape.

Last year, it fell to the wreck-ing ball as a gleaming new glass-dominated Abby Senior opened right across the field from a new Abby Junior.

Those are millions and millions of dollars in new buildings in a relatively short timespan.

If a new South Kam looks any-thing like the new Abby Senior, future students are in for a treat.

In the meantime, the Titans now navigating the creaky halls of South Kam will have to make do in a building that, despite its shortcomings, has continued to have teachers mentor war kids, beatniks, hippies, disco kings, Valley girls, grunge lovers and rap fans through the generations.

“A dog park and a wading pool? Please.

Re: Bass column: Not exactly a banner day for debate at Kamloops city hall:

“Talk about totally missing the point!

“It’s not about free speech or offending people; it’s about the City of Kamloops inap-propriately giving its official approval to the pro-life viewpoint, which is discriminatory against women, who are a protected group under human-rights codes.

“That anti-choice group can hang its ban-ner on private property.

Editor:It’s nice to read the

paper and see good news — and that was the case after reading the Oct. 8 story about the city lending a hand to seniors in the name of safety (‘Kamloops seniors can get free smoke alarms’).

I would like to say it is a job well done by the City of Kamloops, the Centre for Seniors Information, the Seniors Outreach Society, the pro-vincial government and the Fire Chiefs Association of B.C.

It’s great to see people working together to make a dif-ference in the lives of the ones who need it the most .

Hopefully, those seniors who need a smoke alarm will con-tact Kamloops Fire Rescue at 250-372-5131.

Editor:Re: Tom Fletcher’s

column of Oct. 8 on the effort by Sensible BC to change enforce-ment regarding marijuana possession (‘Provincewide mari-juana referendum mis-guided’):

Whoa, Tom! Bad day in Victoria?

I’m feeling pretty appreciative in Kamloops and I

thank supporters of the Sensible BC initiative.

I have been pleased to offer this petition to the fine people of this community for our first grassroots demo-cratic opportunity on the topic of our can-nabis laws, which are becoming increasingly contrary and convolut-ed as time goes on.

Governments and corporations are per-

mitted to grow, alter, market and sell.

Doctors may pre-scribe. The sick may ingest. Yet a healthy citizen is not permitted to tend this plant.

It seems so ridicu-lous to attempt to legislate nature but, if we must, if only to get along, then the initia-tive is a start.

More than any-thing, it’s a means to

initiate discussion, so I feel it’s important to clarify the initiative does:

1) Propose amend-ments to the Police Act for simple posses-sion of cannabis by adults.

2) Propose call-ing upon the federal government to repeal federal prohibition.

3) Propose taxation and regulation of can-

nabis, as is done with tobacco and alcohol.

4) Address the con-sideration of minors.

So, Fletcher is out. Maybe he can direct his energy to the feds.

What about KTW readers? Would you like to talk about B.C. bud?

We’ll gaze on the landscapeNow empty and stillLooking for BluebirdsIn vain o’er the hilland we who come after

Time may become a crucial factor in the court case involving a fatal boat crash in 2010 on Shuswap Lake.

During a pre-trial conference earlier this month, Ken Walker, defence lawyer for the accused, Leon Michael Reinbrecht, said he might apply to have the charges thrown out because of time delays.

Reinbrecht stands charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal neg-ligence causing bodily harm, following the crash in Magna Bay on July 3, 2010, that left an 18-foot Campion Runabout speedboat fully embedded inside the cabin of a house-boat.

The owner and oper-ator of the houseboat, 53-year-old Kenneth William (Kenny) Brown of Chase, was killed in the crash.

Eight other people were taken to hospital in Kamloops, where two remained for treat-ment and six were released the next day.

The crash took place as boats were leaving the bay fol-lowing the annual Canada Day weekend

fireworks display.Crown prosecutor

Don Mann confirmed that at the pretrial con-ference, defence coun-sel indicated “they may be bringing a Charter application related to that [time delays] . . . They were just advising us and the court.”

Reinbrecht was charged in December 2011 following a 17-month investiga-tion carried out by the Chase RCMP detach-ment, with the assis-tance of investigators from Transport Canada and the BC Coroners Service.

The decision regard-ing charges took 17 months due to copious quantities of evidence to sift through, police said.

More recently, the trial date was pushed back from September of this year to January of next year to give Reinbrecht time to try to secure legal-aid fund-ing.

If an application under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is made to drop the charges, both sides would present their arguments and evidence regarding the delays and a judge would be asked to decide.

The trial is set for Jan. 6, 2014.

LOCAL NEWS

Delays could see case dismissedKenneth Brown was killed when a speedboat crashed into Brown’s houseboat on Magna Bay on the Canada Day weekend of 2010. Leon Reinbrecht has been charged in connection with the crash, but his lawyer has indicated he may apply to have the charges tossed due to the length of time it has taken to get to trial, which is set for January 2014.

THE ENGINE GROWL TURNED INTO A HOWL, THE EXHAUST RIPPING TO A SERIES OF STACCATO, EAR-BLAST-ING BACKFIRES THAT WERE JUST A

PRELUDE TO THE EXPERIENCE. We launched — a heart-stopping initial burst of

acceleration that got us up to speed at a rate of just under two seconds from zero to 100 km/h.

And, after that, the spinning started.Around and around you go, where you wind up,

only Kenny knows, as the centrifugal forces try to throw your body out from the centre of rotation, despite the racing seats and five-point harness.

The engine roared as we drifted sideways, the wheels spewing smoke and spitting rubber chunks in every direction.

Wispy tendrils fumed into the cabin, rife with every gearhead’s favourite fragrance — hot brakes and burning tires.

Outside the smoke seemed to coalesce into bil-lowing walls of gray cloud, thick enough to block out the sun.

Probably thick enough to be visible from space, if you ask me.

And somewhere in the eye of that smoking, stinking hurricane, renowned rally driver Ken Block was seated next to me, at the wheel and tak-ing care of business as usual.

This is called “hooning.”Done badly, it tends to result in death, dismem-

berment, crashes, vehicle impoundment, stunting tickets or, at the very least, irate phone calls to the constabulary from your fist-shaking, elderly neigh-bours.

Done right, however, on a controlled course, it becomes a vehicular ballet of sound and fury, a precision-driving, lunatic dance, circling around pylons, through gates and past obstacles.

For those unfamiliar with “hoons” and “hooni-ganism”, I would recommend a YouTube search with the key words “Ken Block” and “gymkhana” for further enlightenment and some stunning video examples.

We were in Toronto for the Canadian launch of the new 2014 Ford Fiesta ST.

After success in Europe, Ford brings ST to North America

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST painted adds a performance edge to the Fiesta lineup with a near-200 horse power engine, chassis and suspension improvements and body kit enhancements for a complete package listing for $24,999.

The ST is a hot hatch that was born in Europe, became a cultural icon there, and is now coming to Canada and the U.S.

And although Mr. Block, in his one-of-a-kind 600-plus horse power RX43 Fiesta, was using those new Fiesta STs as obstacle pylons as he weaved his way across the playground of an Ontario Place parking lot, the sideshow he was providing was designed to draw attention to the very real performance potential these new pocket rockets were adding to the Fiesta lineup.

Ford first brought the sixth-generation Fiesta to North America in 2010.

This small car combined per-formance and personality with outstanding fuel economy, fun-to-drive nimble handling and a youth-ful attitude complemented by a full suite of available features and electronic assists.

Ford Canada’s latest 2014 Fiesta models went on sale earlier this past summer and the Fiesta ST that is joining the lineup now was co-developed by the RS team in Europe and the SVT team in North America.

The Fiesta ST also follows

last year’s debut of the Focus ST as the second vehicle to wear the Sport Technologies badge in North America.

Like its bigger Focus ST sib-ling, the Fiesta ST adds both substance and style to the original recipe.

The main ingredient under the hood is a new high-output GTDI variant of the award-winning 1.6-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder engine.

This turbo-powered unit puts out 197 horses at 6,000 r.p.m. along with an overboost peak torque of 214 pound-feet (com-pared to the base Fiesta’s 120 horse power, 112 pound-feet).

I ran a few tests of my own, skidding the ST across the same autocross course, maybe not with all of the elan of Mr. Block, but the Fiesta ST did exhibit willing wheel-spinning acceleration and capable handling, steering and braking abilities.

There’s a lovely sound to this little engine, enhanced by Ford’s Sound Symposer system (basically a tube carrying the engine sound directly into the cabin).

And despite its performance emphasis, the Fiesta ST makes its muscle without too much of a pump penalty.

Fuel economy is rated at 7.8/5.6L/100km, compared to the base manual transmission Fiesta’s 7.4/5.2L/100km.

Fiesta ST designers took some of their performance inspiration from racers like Ken Block.

“Although, they didn’t add the vertical handbrake lever,” he joked.

But they did complement the extra engine power with other performance enhancements that include bigger disk brakes on all four corners (instead of the disk/drum combo of the base car), a sport-tuned suspension with 15 millimetres-lowered ride height, a stiffer rear axle and an electronic Torque Vectoring Control system designed to reduce understeer dur-ing hard cornering.

A three-mode AdvanceTrac electronic stability control, with Standard, Sport or Off settings, allows the ST driver some han-dling choices, depending on whether you’re driving grandma to choir practice or spending the day at the track.

And the steering system has also been tweaked and tightened with a quicker overall 13.6:1 steer-ing ratio.

The 2014 Fiesta ST comes only in a five-door hatchback configura-tion here in Canada. It also stands

on 17-inch wheels and sports a unique grille and chin spoiler, side rocker mouldings, a new rear diffuser, fascia extensions, a high-mounted spoiler and bright tipped

dual-exhaust pipes. Inside addi-tions include aluminum sport pedal covers, special scuff plates and ST badging.

That’s a nice blended package of performance perks.

But what really sets the ST apart, besides the engine, is the one-choice six-speed manual transmission.

Automatic transmission is not an option.

Throw in the standard sporty Recaro leather seats with cloth inserts and you realize the Fiesta ST is a true enthusiast’s car, not just a compact poseur with a few performance affectations.

As a premium offering at the top of the Fiesta food chain, the 2014 Fiesta ST ($24,999) comes well-loaded with a full equip-ment list and all the usual SYNC and MyFord electronics.

The only options are spe-cial wheels ($500), moonroof ($1,200), voice-activated naviga-tion ($800) and two special paint colours ($400) — Green Envy and a new shade of ST-exclusive Molten Orange with matching orange seat inserts.

And dealers have a longer list of accessories that allow drivers

to personalize their STs even further.

Not that the ST needs it.With its ready-to-race look

and a full slate of very real per-formance enhancements, the 2014 Ford Fiesta ST will prob-ably set competitors scrambling.

And it offers an interesting new choice for customers look-ing to add a little excitement to their everyday compact car needs.

Worth a test drive.But, please, go easy on the

hooning, guys.

Future models MINI will roll out a number of innova-tive driver assist systems that also use intelligent net-working for the exchange of information between driver and vehicle.

The new functions trans-form the MINI more than

ever into its driver’s assistant and offer innovative comfort and safety technology.

As early as 2007, inter-face technology for integrat-ing the Apple iPhone in the MINI operating system was introduced. Since 2011, additional online-based func-

tions can be integrated in the MINI Connected package with the help of apps.

The MINI head-up dis-play helps the driver concen-trate on what is happening on the road by displaying relevant information right in the driver’s line of vision.

This can be seen quickly and conveniently without having to take your eyes off the road.

The collision warning and pedestrian warning sys-tems, including city braking function make it easier to avoid dangerous situations, particularly in city traffic.

The MINI parking assist feature offers maximum comfort in searching for and using parking spaces, while

the reversing camera gives drivers a better view when manoeuvring.

Other innovations in the driver assist systems for MINI include the video-based speed and distance control which automatically keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, and the speed limit information system, which detects and displays speed limits as they apply to the current section of road.

This system is supple-mented by the no passing display and traffic sign memory functions. The digital headlight assist func-tion contributes to optimum visual conditions when driv-ing at night.

A camera registers oncoming traffic and preced-ing vehicles, while auto-matic switching to dimmed headlights avoids causing a nuisance for other drivers.

Crafting comfortable car seats takes more than high-tech tools like seat pressure mapping systems and a multi-part mannequin that feeds data into a comfort dimensioning system.

As helpful as they are, there is no substitute for an element of human fine-tuning, or put-ting butts in seats.

General Motors’ human factors engineers who under-stand biomechanics, psychol-ogy, quantitative research and ergonomics, applied all these disciplines to help make the seats comfortable in the made-in-Canada 2014 Chevrolet Impala.

Customers for each car segment want more or less

support and rigidity in their car seats. What the car will be used for — such as commut-ing, city driving or track rac-ing – helps engineers establish precise parameters of comfort.

Finding the sweet spot for each vehicle doesn’t come easy.

For the new Impala, vol-unteer seat testers ranging from 5th percentile females (5 feet tall, 110 pounds) to 95th percentile males (6 feet tall or taller, 223 pounds) spent hundreds of hours and logged thousands of miles in prototypes of the redesigned flagship sedan to evaluate seat comfort.

Seat testers typically drive or ride in prototype vehicles

for several 60-minute intervals at a time recording initial feed-back after the first 10 minutes.

At each 60-minute interval, they numerically rate every aspect of the seat: cushion, backrest, lumbar support, headrest and side bolsters.

But tester feedback is sub-jective and design changes are often subtle because seat designs evolve from past programs and reams of data collected with precision instru-ments.

Seat tester evaluations alone would have been insufficient to achieve such results.

That’s where tools like Oscar come in hand.

The mannequin-like tool made of steel, plastic and

aluminum is assembled in 18 removable parts weighing up to 170 pounds.

Early in the Impala’s devel-opment, Oscar helped deter-mine the overall dimensional layout of the interior, allowing engineers to make the best use of space.

A laptop computer used the data to generate graphics illus-trating how occupants sit in the seat statically or while driving.

The Impala’s front seats are heated and ventilated, and bol-stered for greater support.

The seat cushions are designed to provide a firm, premium feel. LS models feature cloth seats, while LT comes standard with cloth/vinyl seats.

Reserve early & have a great Christmas!If you are in charge of organizing a Christmas party for your family, a group of friends, your company, or just a romantic dinner for two, do yourself a favour and reserve early — that means right now! Why the rush? It’s true that there are still a few weeks before all those Christmas parties begin, but there are plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t procrastinate on this. By looking now for the ideal restaurant, bar, pub, reception hall, or hotel for your party, you’ll have many more possibilities to choose from as you search for a place that will suit your needs. Another advantage of making early reservations is that you’ll be able to choose the nicest room or the best-placed table, an undeniable privilege during this busy time of year when places are snapped up quickly. If you get on the ball now, you won’t end up with the table that no one else wanted, like the one next to the main entrance or the kitchen. Either one of those scenarios are enough to ruin the party mood, whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a huge reception. If you reserve now, you are more likely to be treated well, as a good customer. One last reason to get busy: if you reserve early, the success of the party is sure to earn you a ton of compliments!

The Rossland Rotary Club was in a bind.

Bad weather had delayed a plane carry-ing the guest speaker for its lunchtime meet-ing, leaving less than a half-day to find a replacement.

Fortunately for the club, there was one girl at the high school who just might fit the bill.

For starters, she recently returned from her first Olympics.

Even better, she’d just written a speech about the experience for her English teacher’s sorority, to make up some marks she’d missed while compet-ing.

But, when Nancy Greene was called into the principal’s office a bit before lunch, she balked at the idea of speaking in front of a room full of Rotarians.

That’s when the president of the club had some valuable advice.

“In the car, he told me, ‘Don’t worry, Nancy,’” the retired ski-racer and Conservative senator, now known by her married name of Nancy Greene Raine, told Thompson Rivers University business students on Wednesday, Oct. 9.

The Rotarian con-tinued: “Just start at the

beginning, go to the end and let us ask ques-tions.”

Her speech was a hit and, after that, Greene Raine said public speaking never seemed so daunting again.

It wasn’t just the Rotary Club president’s advice that helped her, however. During her years as a ski racer, Greene Raine said she was always the person who was asked to thank volunteers or sponsors during events.

That practice gave her confidence and

skills that she uses today.

“What I learned along the way is it’s really important to learn to stand on your feet and speak to a group of people,” she said.

Greene Raine said business students should use their time in univer-sity to hone their inter-personal skills, making friends across diverse groups and learning how to read facial and verbal cues.

While social media has its advantages, she said learning how to

talk to people face-to-face is still key.

Greene Raine was the second in a series of Kickstart 101 speak-ers coming to TRU’s School of Business and Economics this school year.

Future speak-ers include Peter McKenna, CEO of NRI Distributing on Jan. 15 and Lauri Skinner, CEO of First West Capital on Feb. 11.

End of the Growing Season Author: Jake Ootes ~ Celista Estate Winery

September/October is the season to pick

grapes. But this is also the time when I

lose sleep over the confl ict of wanting to

get on with the harvest, the need to make

the best possible wine and the vagaries of

the weather.

At one time the decision to pick the

crop was based mainly on Brix (sugar

level) alone. When the grapes passed 20

Brix (as measured with a refractometer)

the pickers were called in and the

harvest began.

Emphasis is now paid to a number

of additional factors -- factors which

could fi ll a two-inch thick book. But let

me encapsulate and say that grapes go

through fl avour changes during the last

few weeks of maturation, and this is

when attention is now focused on PH,

Titratable Acid as well as Brix.

Visual clues are employed. When the

lower leaves on the vines turn pale and

yellow the vines have reached maturity

and they start to shut down for the

winter. Another indicator is seed ripeness

which changes from a pale colour to a

brownish blemish. One more indicator

is the drying out of the plant shoots and

darkening of old growth.

Tasting the grapes is an important

element in analyzing grape readiness. In

this sensory assessment the grapes are

tasted for fl avour. Go into the vineyard

in early August and taste the small green

grapes and your mouth will pucker

because the grapes are tart and acidic.

Pre-harvest tastes are described as

grassy, asparagus and bell peppery,

whereas when the grapes reach maturity

in September and October the red

grapes tend toward red berry fl avours

- strawberry, raspberry, cherry, black

current and black berry, with a stewed

fruit fl avour during an extended hang

time. White grapes tend toward tree

fruit fl avours like apple and pear and

with extended hang time more tropical

fl avours like mango, pineapple and

leechee nut.

For the vineyards in the Shuswap this

growing season started on a discouraging

note – daily downpours of rain

throughout the month of June, resulting

in tremendous growth of green shoots

but delayed berry development. Then

July, August and September turned to

be the best in my memory – optimum

amount of sunshine and warm weather,

euphoria for grape growing.

We are in the middle of harvesting our

white varieties. Filling our bins and

capsizing them into our crusher and

wine press. This is a confl icting time

– do I give the reds another soaking

of sunshine to build the sugar levels,

lower the acid and create a balance with

PH? Or, am I being empty-headed and

risk the possibility of frost, resulting

in an overabundance of ice wine? Foul

weather which we hate at this time of

year, will interfere with the quality of

the harvest. Rain just before harvest will

swell the grapes with water, diluting the

juice and making thin watery wine.

The growing season is just about down

and out, and the wine-making season

upon us. Now we crush the grapes, press

them off the skins, ferment the juice and

transform this wonderful tasty nectar into

enchanting, elegant wines, a process not

ingeniously simple but when complete

elicits a satisfying sense of achievement.

HOME & GARDEN

Get your home ready as fall leads to winterWinter is just around the corner and it’s important to

get the exterior of your house ready for the cold months ahead.

Heavy snow, cold winds and icy weather can damage your property and lead to expensive repair bills down the road.

To get your property winter ready, we’ve asked the experts at Canadian Tire Home Services to share some easy and important tips for homeowners:

• Inspect your roof: Use binoculars to ensure your shin-gles are not turning up at the edges, worn or falling off. Damage to shingles can cause melted snow and ice to seep into your home, causing leaks and potentially expensive water damage.

• Clean your gutters: Remove any leaves, twigs and buildup from your gutters to allow water to run off prop-erly and prevent water damage.

• Put away outdoor furniture, playground equipment and trampoline sets: Winter storms are often accompanied by high winds, which can damage these items. Since you are unlikely to use outdoor furniture and play equipment until the spring, look for a place to store them.

• Prepare your trees and garden: Protect young trees and plants by wrapping them in plastic guards or burlap. Doing so will extend their life and prevent animals and rodents from eating your shrubs during the colder months. Also, be sure to remove fallen leaves and debris from your yard to prevent damage to the grass.

For more information on how to prepare your property for the winter season, visit your local Canadian Tire store or go online to homeservices.canadiantire.ca.

newscanada.com

It won’t be long before these glorious autumn days in Kamloops make way for the bluster of winter — and now is the time to ensure your home is ready for Jack Frost’s arrival. As the experts at Canadian Tire point out, paying attention to your house and yard now can help save you from opening your wallet in the spring to fix problems after the fact.

DriveBC.ca | ShiftIntoWinter.ca

Your family depends on you to arrive safely. Plan ahead. Check weather and road conditions, make sure your vehicle is winter ready and drive for the conditions.

Know before you go.

The Rotary Club of Kamloops Aurora wants your soccer cleats.

“So far, we’ve had a great response,” said Kim Cooper, who will be collecting the footy shoes for the rotary club and sending them to underprivileged schools in South Africa.

“We’ve got more than 120 pairs and we’re just trying to

consistently get them back to South Africa.”

Cleats can be dropped off at two locations — Flavours of India (550 Columbia St.) and Kamloops Insurance (450 Landsdowne St.).

The Aurora club will be accepting donations until Nov. 8.

“The reason why Nov. 8 is the deadline is because secondary

schools usually end soccer season at the end of October. It gives everyone time to get their shoes in. A lot of times kids outgrow their shoes.”

Furniture and statio-nery will be dissemi-nated, along with the cleats, to rural schools, many of them near Johannesburg.

“There is such a big need,” Cooper said.

IT’S ALWAYS good when the first one up at the plate knocks a home

run out of the field — and that’s what Robin Nichol and her team have done with Gossip.

Of course, it helps to have chosen a script by George F. Walker, who has more than two-dozen plays to his name and has also writ-ten for The Newsroom, Due South and This is Wonderland.

The man has a gift for dialogue and comedy.

Gossip, which con-tinues at the Black Box Theatre at Thompson Rivers University this week, has a small cast — just nine student actors — and most take on more than one role at some point during the play.

It’s the story of Tyrone Power, a report-er who longs for the big political scoop, but has been assigned by his boss to find out who

killed a socialite at an art-exhibit opening.

The comedy is exag-gerated and the actors are up to the task, espe-cially Brooke Ballam who, as the reporter, is the only one never required to go over the top.

He’s a stereotype, but never becomes a caricature and knows the value of a rolled eye in a scene.

The boss, Baxter (Kory Cudmore) reminded me of bosses I’ve had in my career.

I just wish some of them had been as funny as he is.

Andrew Cooper, as one of the suspects in the murder, has a role that requires significant flamboyance and over-the-top acting, a task that some might not be able to meet — but he is absolutely perfect in his over-the-top zani-ness.

It was particularly fascinating watching the interaction between Ballam’s character and that of Chanelle Renee, another suspect and

the sister of the dead socialite.

There were a lot of words in that interchange and the two of them never missed their mark.

They played it straight and that made it all the more humorous.

The same could be said for the rest of the cast — lawyers/broth-ers/suspects Norman (Warren Copode) and Sam Lewis (Nich Gulycz), particularly in the bedroom scene with budding actress Anna (Meagan Petrie).

It wouldn’t do the play justice to try to describe it here, other than to say the need for timing was essential and impeccably done.

Jessica Buchanan, as Power’s love interest, Margaret, has a chal-lenging role because she’s conflicted in love — to put it mildly — and has some sig-nificant mental-health issues.

That she can create this character and still be funny is a testament to her talent.

Then, there’s Josh

Sunderman, an actor I have seen in plays for years and who is well into fine-tuning his own brand of physical comedy.

He, too, can bring laughter to his audience with a simple look.

The set is stripped down and adaptable, scene changes were fairly seamless and the lighting is dead on.

The sound is so good you can hear Ballam and Buchanan perfectly — even when they’re behind the large walls that are the basis of the set.

It all works to cre-

ate a perfect film noir package of good acting, great script and constant humour.

Gossip continues at the theatre from Thursday, Oct. 17, through to Saturday, Oct. 19.

Tickets are $12 and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or at the theatre box office before each perfor-mance.

Next up is An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen and directed by Wesley Eccleston.

Boeing Boeing is a snappy, witty and pol-ished production full of word play and clever timing.

Western Canada Theatre’s first show at Sagebrush Theatre this season is a hit.

Bernard (played by Brett Christopher) has a problem.

It’s simple, really. He’s a lovable cad

with three fiancées who live with him in a flat in Paris in the late 1950s.

They are all “air host-esses,” each working for a rival airline.

He keeps them from knowing about each other by rotating their nights off on a tight schedule.

However, technology is about to toss a wrench into Bernard’s perfect system with the Super Boeing, a faster plane that’s going to throw the timetable off.

Three secret fiancées and we just can’t hate the guy.

He’s like a kinder, gentler Don Draper.

Fortunately, Bernard is likeable enough in Christopher’s capable hands that his Lothario tendencies are more endearing than creepy.

And, what lovely fiancées he has.

There’s Gabriella (Krista Colosimo), the sultry and effusive Italian; Gloria (Alison Deon), the brash and ballsy American; and Gretchen (Tess Degenstein), the sunny yet ‘sturm and drang’ German.

For being three women who are so dif-ferent and sharply drawn (down to their primary-coloured wardrobes) they are surprisingly nuanced and mercurial in the hands of these gifted actresses.

And they all rock a bathrobe.

Then there’s Bernard’s irascible employee, Berte (Anita Wittenberg).

She’s a French maid unlike any we’ve seen before, in a class all her own.

There is a vague hint of Carol Burnett and some Edna Mode from The Incredibles thrown in — and something uniquely Wittenberg.

Equally unforgettable is Kirk “Triple Take” Smith as Bernard’s old school chum, Robert.

Always affable and charming, Smith’s take on the character is full of the quirky details for which he is quickly becoming known — such as juggling his lug-gage to great comedic effect.

Did I mention there’s a spit take?

Rumour has it that, unlike many other farces, the stage directions in the script were minimal, leaving the bulk of the crafty physical humour to the talented director and flexible cast.

And this cast plays

well together.Every time someone

steals the show, someone else steals it back.

Even the set only adds to the merriment.

It feels aviation-like, right down to the portal window.

It is also super chic, from the brass-and-glass bar cart to the beanbag chair.

The only quibbles I have are small and most have to do with the writ-ing.

Gloria (Alison Deon) is highly under-utilized and doesn’t receive any of the payoffs some of the other characters get.

Speaking of payoff — at the risk of being risqué — the ending deserved more of a climax than the author provides.

Lucky for us we have the talents of Charlotte

Gowdy on choreogra-phy and Ross Nichol on lights and you get a curtain call that, well, you’ll just have to go to experience it.

WCT has taken to making bold program-ming choices and this one is bold, too. It is a crowd-pleasing hit that is sure to be a season favourite.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Boeing Boeing has been the most-performed French play worldwide – and for good reason.

Fly, don’t walk, to see this stellar production of a great script while you have the chance.

Reviewer Heidi Verwey teaches theatre at Thompson Rivers University and is

directing its upcoming The Beaux’ Stratagem from Feb. 27 to March 1 and from March 6 to March 8 at the Black Box Theatre in the Old Main Building.

Mom was born July 10, 1930 in Barrhead, AB, to Rudolf and Ernestina Timm. She was the youngest sister to Natalie, Herb and Elsie. The family homesteaded on 160 acres between Barrhead and Westlock until they moved to Kelowna when Tillie was 10 years old. Mom had many fond memories of her youth in the Okanagan, including ice skating on the lake, working packing fruit in the packing house, and at age 16, going with her sister Elsie and some friends to work in Banff for the summer.

Mom moved to Kamloops with her parents in the late 1950’s. It was while working at the Tranquille TB Centre, she met Bill, and they married on February 2nd, 1958.

While Tillie will be reunited with Bill, her parents, siblings and countless other family and friends who have gone before her, she leaves many here to cherish her. She is forever in the hearts of her children Lorie, Gail, Gerry and Terry, grandchildren Ryan and Kate, Brandon, Heather (Justin), Spencer and Danika (Paul) and great-grandson Theron.

TO ALL PARENTS ... By Edgar Guest

“I’ll lend you for a little timeA child of Mine” He said,“For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead.

It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three,But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me?

He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief,You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return,But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked the wide world overIn my search for teachers true,And from the throngs that crowd life’s

lanes I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain,Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done.For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run.

We’ll shelter him with tenderness.We’ll love him while we may,And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay.

And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned,We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,I am the softly falling snow.I am the gentle showers of rain,I am the elds of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,I am in the graceful rushOf beautiful birds in circling ight.I am the star-shine of the night.

I am in the owers that bloom,I am in a quiet room.I am in the birds that sing,I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,I am not there – I did not die.

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT:

SYNOPSIS OF BUSINESS LICENSE BYLAW 718, 2013

Following the 2012 public meetings and input received, a new Business License Bylaw was adopted and will be in effect on January 1, 2014.

Significant changes to the bylaw include: • revised ‘definitions’ that define a business license, categories and enforcement; • a reduction to 6 business license categories: Accommodation Rental Units; Carnival/ Circus/ Special Event; Financial Institutions; Home Based; Non-Resident and/or Resident; and One Day License (mobile vendor); • removal of the discount for early payment; • addition of a 10% penalty for license renewals not paid by February 28th;• reduction of fees for more than one home based business license and a maximum of 3 home based businesses per premise; • addition of written notice of infractions and a 30 day remedial time period; and • an increase of annual fees averaging 30% in 2014 and 2015 based on zero rate increases over the past 15 years.

Annual business license renewals will be processed in accordance with the new bylaw; and therefore, you may see a change in the business license category. Please note that if your business license renewal is not paid by February 28th in each new year, you will be ticketed $100 as well as the applicable license fee plus the 10% penalty. This process will eliminate the cost associated with late payment reminder letters and the tracking of repeat offenders. If you’re in business -- you need an active business license!

A copy of Business License Bylaw 718, 2013 is available on the District’s website www.loganlake.ca and at the District office. If you would like further information on this bylaw, please contact the undersigned at 250.523.6225 or via email at [email protected].
