A former Kamloops councillor is making a bid to represent the NDP in next May’s provincial election. Nancy Bepple is expected to officially announce on Aug. 30 her intention to challenge incumbent Liberal Todd Stone in the Kamloops-South Thompson riding. Reached by phone yesterday, Bepple confirmed she has filed paperwork to the party and is in the midst of being vetted for approval. She said she may

face a nomination fight but otherwise declined to comment until next week. Peter Northcott, president of the NDP in the Kamloops-South Thompson riding, said local officials have suggested dates to the provincial party. “Early December looks good. There’s even a chance it will be in the new year.” Both of those dates would give challengers at least several weeks to sign new members in preparation for a nomination battle.

sor at TRU, had been considering a run. Contacted yesterday, she said she will not contest the nomination. “This year is just not the right time in my life to try my hand at party politics,” she said in an email message. “I will have to stick to being a vocal activist on the issues that matter to us here in B.C.” Bepple works at Thompson Rivers University in the career education department. She entered Kamloops public life in 2007 as co-chair (along with current city councillor Denis Walsh) of Save Public

Waterfront, an effort to stop any further development plans for the parking lot at Sandman Centre, which had been the location for a proposed convention centre and condominium development. Bepple was elected to council in 2008 and 2011 but quit near the end of her second term, citing health issues. She ran unsuccessfully on the ballot in the 2015 election. Earlier this week, Barb Nederpel announced she will be the New Democrat candidate in KamloopsNorth Thompson. Party members will endorse her next month.

A 19-year-old man is expected to make his first court appearance today in relation to the downtown stabbing of a Kamloops taxi driver. Austin Eyres is facing one count of aggravated assault. Kami Cabs driver Cal Huntington was rushed to Royal Inland Hospital with lifethreatening injuries just before 2 a.m. on EYRES Wednesday. Police have since said he is expected to recover from his injuries. Kami Cabs general manager Satinder Mann described Huntington as a “polite professional” who has been with the company for nearly a decade. Mann said the incident has prompted discussions about whether Kami Cabs will take steps — possibly protective glass or security cameras — to keep drivers safe. The altercation took place at Pleasant Street and Eighth Avenue after Huntington picked up a fare from a Sahali gas station, police have said. The Kamloops RCMP’s serious crime unit is investigating. Eyres is expected to make his first appearance in Kamloops provincial court today

ADOPTION IN BC Adopting a child can be one of the biggest decisions in life. The Adoption Act governs how adoptions happen in British Columbia. There are several types of adoption possible in British Columbia, including through the Ministry of Children and Family Development, international (or inter-country adoptions), adoption by relatives or step-parents (including adult adoptions), and direct placement adoption agencies in which parents choose someone they know as the adoptive parents of their child.

Three years in prison for attack on Walmart worker Connor Dufresne stabbed a security guard five times last year CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 19-year-old who stabbed a Walmart security guard five times — narrowly missing his heart — is a “danger to society” who must serve time in federal prison, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled yesterday. Connor Dufresne pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and theft following an incident at the Kamloops Walmart on Nov. 9 last year. He was seen by security officials via camera acting suspiciously. A loss prevention officer, Robert Burt, began to tail him on the floor. Dufresne bolted out a side door with a pack stuffed with about $500 worth of goods, followed by Burt for about 10 feet — the limit according to company policy. Burt told police he doesn’t

remember what happened next. Medical evidence showed he was stabbed five times in the neck, chest and back. Justice Robert Sewell called the violent attack “wanton and unprovoked.” Dufresne is now 20 years old. He has adult convictions for fraud, possession of break and enter tools, theft of mail and breaches of court-ordered conditions. He had an extensive record as a youth. Dufresne has served the equivalent of a year awaiting sentence. Sewell sentenced him to another 27 months in jail — time that will be spent in a federal institution. “Mr. Dufresne remains a danger to society and it is necessary to separate him from society,” Sewell said, opting for the Crown’s submission of a three-

to four-year sentence. Dufresne told a probation official that he wasn’t at fault because he warned Burt not to touch him. His victim, Robert Burt, was in court for the sentence hearing. In a statement, he told the court he suffers post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety from the attack. He can no longer work in loss prevention and now earns less money with the company. Outside the courtroom, he called the sentence “a slap in the face.” His girlfriend, Kristin Sherwood, called the attack “lifechanging” for him. “He [Dufresne] gets three years and he [Burt] gets a lifetime of trauma,” she said. Dufresne is also banned from owning firearms for 10 years.

Court next week for robbery suspect A man accused of robbing the Safeway gas bar on Eighth Street is set to return to court next week. Edward Duffy made a first appearance in provincial court this week. He is charged with two counts of robbery and one

count of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. The Safeway gas bar on Eighth Street was held up by a man brandishing a knife on Aug. 16. Mounties released images of the suspect taken from surveillance video.

Two days later a tipster called police to say someone matching the suspect’s description had been spotted on the North Shore. RCMP said the man, who is from Kamloops, was arrested without incident.

Every type of adoption has its own procedures that must be adhered to and unique challenges. Speaking to a lawyer can guide you through the process, as well as explain to you how this will eﬀect support obligations, visitation, naming and estate planning. Contact a Fulton & Company Family Lawyer to see if adoption is the right option for you.

Dr. Ian Mitchell has been added to the advisory team behind Doctors for Responsible Access, an organization focused on objective discussion on the legalization of marijuana. The national organization, composed of physicians and nurse practitioners, supports responsible access to marijuana but wants to ensure the federal task force examining the issue receives an informed medical perspective. Among proposed principles, the group wants the federal government to ensure the medical community receives the support and education they need to be

part of the solution and protect public health. It also wants to ensure access includes restrictions aimed at reducing risk that could include mandatory education or only allowing for smaller quantities for young adults and youth. Mitchell, an emergency-room doctor at Royal Inland Hospital, has been recognized nationally for his work on the subject of medical marijuana. He is also one of the lead investigators in a study looking at the effectiveness of cannabis on post-traumatic stress disorder. It is expected to kick into gear in the fall. The $350,000 study will be run out of Kelowna and involve researchers at the

University of British Columbia Okanagan. Another partner is Tilray, a Nanaimo-based licence medical marijuana producer. The study is a first for Canada. “The government should have been doing this research,” Mitchell said. It’s anticipated about 40 people will be part of the study. The goal is to have people who have PTSD as a result of sexual assault, military service or who are first responders. The federal government pays for medical marijuana prescribed for military veterans, Mitchell said. Many are using it to treat PTSD.

Cocaine wholesaler Strike notice will stay in prison issued by after appeal tossed postal union LABOUR

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The union representing a majority of workers at Canada Post has issued a 72-hour notice of job action as it tries to bargain a collective agreement. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says the notice spells out what actions it is planning, but stops short of a full-blown walkout. CUPW national president Mike Palecek said Canada Post forced the labour disruption by refusing to accept a request from the federal labour minister to continue negotiations with the help of a special mediator. But a spokesman for the agency said that’s not the case. The union’s strike mandate was set to expire at midnight. The two sides have been in negotiations for more than nine months but are far apart on key issues including pay equity for rural carriers and proposed changes to the Canada Post pension plan.

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A review panel ruled cocaine wholesaler Jean-Claude Auger was dealt with fairly by the Parole Board of Canada when it denied him early release from jail. Despite the finding, the Parole Board of Canada’s appeal division ordered a further review of Auger’s file by the end of this year. In January, the board ruled against day parole for Auger, who was sentenced in March of last year to a four-year prison term. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to traffic cocaine and possession for the purpose of trafficking. Auger was busted, along with seven other men, in connection to what RCMP called a United Nations gang-linked dial-a-dope operation running in 2012. In its original decision, the board said Auger had not been completely honest regarding his role in the drug trade and stated progress made in jail through rehabilitation programs must be

sustained for a longer period. He appealed that ruling, arguing the board was “extremely adversarial” toward him. The appeal division dismissed the argument. “After a review of the audiorecording of the hearing, the appeal division find that the board conducted the interview in a professional, respectful and fair manner,” the board wrote. “You had ample opportunity to respond to the board’s questions and to present your own version of events.” The appeal division ordered a further review of Auger’s case by the end of the year, noting the next scheduled review may not otherwise occur until his statutory release date, set for November 2017. “Therefore the appeal division orders that the further review take place by way of a hearing as soon as practicable and within the next six months.” Prior to his sentencing, Auger spent $22,000 on counselling, including a video tell-all project with a local media company, complete with confessions.

Alleged shooter released on bail A man accused of firing shots at a North Kamloops trailer park Saturday has been granted bail. Ezra Adair, 61, was released on conditions by Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley.

Adair was arrested after police were called to a mobile home park in the 1700-block of Ord Road just after 9:30 p.m. for reports of shots fired by an agitated man with a shotgun. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt.

Edward Preto said Mounties arrested the 61-year-old and seized a rifle and four spent cartridges. Witnesses reported a man fired a rifle in the air and made threats to residents.

erek Fisher doesn’t know where the marbles keep coming from. “I didn’t think marbles were still a thing,” said the chief operator of Kamloops’ wastewater treatment plant. And yet marbles arrive almost daily, carried to the plant at the end of Mission Flats Road in the millions of litres of water flushed through the city’s sinks, drains and toilets. Fisher estimates the plant screens out about 8,000 kilograms of material that can’t be treated every month, which ends up in the landfill. Along with marbles, there are more usual suspects including tampons, plastic applicators and so-called flushable wipes — a product that’s become the bane of sewer systems across the country. Earlier this year the City of Vancouver launched an “adult toilet training” campaign, urging residents to stop putting wet wipes down their toilets, even if they’re marketed as safe to flush. “Our pipes [and yours] can’t handle things like wipes, facial tissues, diapers, cotton balls, tampons, dental floss, paper towels and even hair [who knew?]. Many of these items become stringy and bind together to block pipes,” explains the city’s site, neverflushwipes.ca. Kamloops utilities services manager Greg Wightman said the issues giving Vancouver grief are also showing up frequently in Kamloops. “It’s basically like a long

They get caught up in each other and twisted up in the pipes,” he said Often, trouble occurs well before the wastewater reaches the screening machinery at the end of the pipeline, Wightman said. When wiperopes go through the city’s pumping stations they can become wrapped around the pumps, which must then be shut down so they can be pulled out of the system. “They say flushable on the package but, other than toilet paper and anything that you’ve already eaten, you shouldn’t be putting anything else down there in the sewage

OKANAGAN FIRE SERVES AS A REMINDER The summer has been a mixed bag when it comes to weather, but the hot temperatures have finally arrived and that also means wildfire season is also here. Flames erupted on the dry hillside along Westside Road Wednesday afternoon, posing a risk to Lake Okanagan Resort, youth camps and nearby residences. As previous incidents have proven, wildfires can evolve quickly into significant emergencies. But quick action ensured the Cinnebar Creek blaze didn’t transform beyond about 2.8 hectares. That is directly a result of the Wilson’s Landing Fire Department arriving quickly on scene and determining that the small volunteer group needed assistance. Coming to help were the North Westside and West Kelowna fire departments as well as air and ground crews from the B.C. Wildfire Service. Everyone involved deserves considerable praise for their dedication and willingness to work together. It’s through teamwork that a disaster was avoided. The cause of the blaze is still unknown but it’s a reminder to all of us that the Interior is at risk from wildfire. We urge you to be careful with potential ignition sources, whether it’s cigarette butts, campfires or vehicle exhaust. To report a wildfire, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on a cell phone. We all need to do our part to ensure 2016 isn’t scorched into the history book. — Vernon Morning Star

On giving — even after death

e can all take a lesson from Susan Duncan. The former Kamloops Daily News editor turned Interior Health Authority communications staffer recently went under the knife and gave someone a kidney. This someone was not her spouse, sibling, best buddy or child, but someone she barely knew. Someone who simply needed a kidney and with whom she happened to be a match. “Only a flesh wound,” she humbly told me. Duncan wasn’t up for a photoop detailing events that led her to saving someone’s life so I’ll turn conversation to the importance of such selfless acts. Our transplant system relies on it. Without an opt-out system, which would see everyone automatically enrolled but able to withdrawal, B.C. residents are asked to register their decision with B.C. Transplant. That means going out of our way to tell the arm of the provincial health care ministry yes or no when it comes to organ donation. According to B.C. Transplant, 25,722 people in Kamloops have registered, less than a third of the city. Provincially and nationally, that number drops to about 20 per cent. Keep in mind not all who registered are donors, most of them aren’t likely to die anytime soon and, as for potential donors, “less than one per cent of all deaths occur in such a way that

MUSINGS donation is possible.” It’s tricky, explained B.C. Transplant spokesperson Maureen Mooney. To be a donor after death in B.C., a patient must die in an intensive-care unit and be ventilated before death. Add to that specific matching requirements — things like blood type — and it’s no wonder 595 people are waiting on the transplant list across the province. Many will die waiting. Living donors like Duncan help and B.C. Transplant reported the highest living kidney donor rate in the country in 2015. It doesn’t work for every organ though, so people in need of a heart, for example, are out of luck. There’s magic happening locally with complex multi-organ swaps and globally with advancements in 3-D printing — extraordinary measures to bolster a system we could all impact in just a few clicks. In Kamloops, thousands could make a difference by registering their decision with B.C. Transplant. A patient once told me most

people are in favour of organ donation — the Canadian Transplant Society reports as many as 90 per cent of Canadians support it — but avoid registering because they don’t want to think about it. I get it. When I finally filled out the card that comes in the mail with your driver’s licence, I got squeamish thinking about someone hacking me up when I kick the can. Especially when registration means checking off body parts like items on a grocery list. Kidneys? Check. Pancreas? Check. Liver? Ha — if you really want it. Eyes? Tissue? Um. Creepy. Yep, it’s icky. But the decision gets simpler when you remember you’ll be dead and have two options: waste good parts or save up to eight lives. So go ahead, doc, scoop out my baby blues. Some other things to consider: Family members who meet recipients sometimes find closure knowing their loved one saved another person. A common misconception is hospital staff won’t try to save your life if you’re a donor — there’s an oath against that. Two out of three people haven’t registered in Kamloops. If you’re one of them, take the time and sign up regardless of your age or medical history. Do it right now online, here: transplant. bc.ca/be-donor. It could mean saving the person next to you, a co-worker, friend, spouse or child. Or, like Duncan, just someone in need. jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS NEW THINKING Editor: The benefits of universal health care sound so seductive and positive when discussed in a sterile environment. Health care for the masses, no line cutting, early identification of symptoms, everyone gets a “fair” turn, etc. Most of us are strong supporters of our universal health-care system — that is, until it comes time to use it for more than routine treatment. That is when people realize the system seems intent on killing off a portion of us, the users seeking just about any procedure requiring resources beyond those found in a family doctor’s office. Diagnoses and treatment beyond those of

the family physician almost invariably lead to waiting lists. Waiting lists might be acceptable for highly complicated operations such as hip replacement or cataract surgery. Having to wait for those procedures, while annoying and painful, is unlikely to end life. Yet, the same methodology is applied to simple but important diagnostic tools such as colonoscopies. Our universal system seems incapable of providing the patient with the timely information needed to even consider a treatment program. For example, the province has set up a very efficient process whereby, even before the individual and his or her

doctor are advised of the result, positive tests for occult blood (a marker often found in colon cancer) are relayed to the BC Cancer Agency Colon Screening Program. They are the people who schedule things like colonoscopies. But guess what? The screening program is so overloaded that the wait time to get into the first step of screening in Kamloops is at least three — and more likely four to five — months. A lot can happen in that time if one has active colon cancer. On top of that, the patient (remember him), is now burdened with the knowledge that he may be a walking cancer time bomb which, if true, gets worse and more

irreparable every day. How much additional health deterioration is the result of knowing something may be wrong and not being able to do anything about it? So, we are left with a choice: Wait for what our taxes pay for or try to find treatment outside the system, something the high priests of universal health care roundly condemn and governments do everything in their power to prohibit. Should we be angry? You’re damn right we should be angry. But who should we direct our anger at? Certainly not the doctors, nurses or technicians — they are invariably compassionate, concerned and trying to do what is best for the

patient. They are as impotent as the patient when it comes to wait lists. We could be angry with the politicians, but they are as ignorant as us on how to fix the system and have only one remedy: Throw money at the problem — which doesn’t seem to work. So we are left with only the system administration to be angry with, that layer of bloated bureaucrats who treat no one, but suck up ever increasing resources to manage a system that just does not work very well. Fix the damn system and quit trying to justify non performance Don McLaughlin Kamloops

WINERY AMPHITHEATRE ANOTHER INTRUSION IN QUIET AREA Editor: Re: KTW, Aug. 23:(Plans for amphitheatre at Monte Creek progressing through TNRD): I hope they do a better job of considering the neighbourhood than they did with the bird cannons and their wind turbines, both of which are incredibly intrusive. We live across the South Thompson River and Highway 1 within sight of their winetasting building. The turbines sound like a helicopter

hovering over your house and they had the bird cannons going all night when they first started them. When asked to please turn them off because birds don’t fly at night, the manager told me he was surprised I could hear them. They are like a shotgun being fired every few minutes in bursts of three. The amphitheatre will definitely add yet another downgrade to our peaceful

area unless they only allow acoustic shows, which is doubtful in this age of louder-isbetter performances. Monte Creek is not turning out to be the good corporate citizen we hoped it would be and we now do not buy its wine because of it.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia will be seeking a 4.9 per cent hike to its basic auto insurance rates. The corporation has submitted its application to the B.C. Utilities Commission, with interim approval expected in early September, covering rates effective Nov. 1. Mark Blucher, the corporation’s president and CEO, said a final decision is due by the spring. ICBC estimates the increase will add about $3.50 per month to the cost of basic insurance coverage. Blucher said more crashes, more damage to vehicles, higher repair costs and a leap in injury claims are some of the reasons for the rate increase. He said in the past, the corporation has offset claims costs by relying on investment income but low interest rates and challenging market conditions mean that is no longer an option. The 4.9-per-cent boost is lower than the 5.5 per cent approved in 2015, but Blucher said without internal measures, such as the transfer of $472 million from the corporation’s optional insurance business, ICBC would have needed a 15.5-per-cent increase to cover 2016 costs.

Carrie Stefanson said no one died. She said the number of overdoses is double the six to seven that are the norm on the day social assistance cheques are distributed. So-called welfare Wednesday came a day early this week, with cheques going out on Tuesday. Insite has launched a sixmonth pilot program that will see the facility remain

open around the clock from Wednesday to Friday once a month when welfare payments go out, which it says is associated with a spike in drug activity. British Columbia’s chief medical officer declared a state of emergency earlier this year following an increase in drug overdose deaths, many of which were linked to the dangerous opioid fentanyl.

Supreme Court of Canada will not hear B.C. Mr. Big case THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to hear the appeal of a B.C. man who argued a Mr. Big operation that resulted in his confession was an abuse of process. Darin Randle was found guilty in 2014 of interfering with human remains after he confessed to burning the body of his partner in a marijuana grow-op after a gun went off during a struggle. He had argued he was coerced into making the confession after police in a Mr. Big undercover operation staged the mock kidnapping and execution of a man they said was a police informant. The B.C. Court of Appeal earlier rejected his appeal on grounds no violence of coercion was applied to Randle.

Victoria sewage plant narrowed to two locations Just two locations and three options have made the short list for the Capital Regional District’s new sewage treatment plant. The list shows the plant could either be a single facility at Rock Bay in Victoria, a single one at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt, or two smaller plants — one at each location. Victoria still dumps its raw sewage directly into Juan de Fuca Strait and the treatment facility is desperately needed, but it has created furor among Greater Victoria residents who don’t want the $750 million to

Company sees advantages of bear-safe practices

A hotel in southeastern B.C. says bear-safe practices are necessary to help it protects its workers, guests and bears. The Causeway Bay Hotel in Sparwood is renting two bearresistant dumpsters, at a cost of up to $5,000 a year, to keep bears out of hotel garbage. The company is not required to make the expenditure but regional manager Joanne Wilton said it’s worth the money to keep staff and guests safe and to avoid the possibility that habituated bears might have to be destroyed. In the meantime, Wilton said he plans to lobby Sparwood council for better bylaws to prevent conflicts between humans and bears, noting Sparwood recently postponed a bylaw amendment that would have required all residents to use bear-resistant garbage bins.

ONE CAMPAIGN

Trudeau joins campaign linking poverty and gender inequality THE CANADIAN PRESS

SAGUENAY, Que. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has joined a social media campaign urging world leaders to acknowledge that poverty has a disproportionate impact on girls and women. “Women and girls are less likely to get an education, more likely to be impoverished and face greater risk of disease and poor health,’’ Trudeau wrote in a letter released yesterday morning. The letter was crafted in response to a call from the ONE Campaign — an organization co-founded by Bono, the frontman for

the Irish rock band U2, which promotes maternal and child-health projects in developing countries in Africa and elsewhere. The organization had sent an open letter to Trudeau and other global leaders this March to coincide with International Women’s Day asking them to recognize that poverty and gender inequality go hand in hand. “On behalf of the Government of Canada, I am writing you back to know that I wholeheartedly agree: poverty is sexist,’’ Trudeau wrote, employing the phrase used by the campaign. The campaign,

“

I agree wholeheartedly: poverty is sexist.

”

— PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU

according to its website, has also been endorsed by the likes of Oprah Winfrey, actresses Meryl Streep and Tina Fey, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and philanthropist Melinda Gates. “I accept your challenge to lead. As a feminist, I know that women must be treated equally everywhere,’’ Trudeau wrote, noting that he brought gender parity to his cabinet when the new Liberal government was sworn in last year.

“It is my hope that this will set an example for governments around the world,’’ Trudeau wrote. Trudeau also reiterated that Canada is increasing its contribution to the Global Fund, an international partnership dedicated to ridding the world of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, by 20 per cent to $785 million over two-year period. Canada is also hosting a fundraiser for the Global Fund Sept. 16 in Montreal.

Special forces commander charged after accidentally firing weapon THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada’s top special forces soldier is facing a court martial after accidentally firing his rifle while loading it during a visit to Iraq last December. Maj.-Gen. Michael Rouleau, commander of Canadian Special Operations Forces, said he reported the incident immediately and was charged under the National Defence Act after an investigation.

A11

Officials said a date has not been set for the court martial. Rouleau isn’t the first senior officer to be court-martialled after accidentally firing his weapon. Brig.-Gen. Daniel Menard was ordered to pay a $3,500 fine after his rifle fired two bullets at Kandahar Airfield while he was commander of Canadian troops in Afghanistan in 2010. Another officer, Lt.-Col. Gilles Fortin, was also fined after acci-

dentally firing a round from his pistol in the Kabul International Airport in 2012. Fortin was forced to pay $1,500. Up to 200 Canadian special forces troops have been deployed to Iraq where they are helping Kurdish peshmerga forces fight the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL. The commandos have been active in other parts of the world in recent years, including Belize and Niger.

U.S. President Barack Obama hosted the last such conference in Washington, D.C. in 2013. Trudeau encouraged the ONE Campaign to continue putting pressure on other governments. “Canada can play an important role, but we need other leaders around the world to step up, too,’’ Trudeau wrote.

Crossbow incident leaves three dead, one injured in Toronto’s east end, police say NICOLE THOMPSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Three people suffering from what appeared to be wounds from a crossbow were pronounced dead yesterday in an incident that rocked an otherwise quiet east-end neighbourhood, Toronto police said. An injured fourth person — a 35-year-old man — was taken into custody. The victims were found in the driveway of a bungalow by officers who responded to a stabbing report in the early afternoon. “Indications were that [a] person had been stabbed — their injuries were fairly serious,’’ Const. David Hopkinson told reporters. “When officers arrived, they found that person and two others suffering from injuries from what we

believe to be a crossbow bolt.’’ Two of the injured were without vital signs and officers immediately began live-saving measures but the two men and a woman were pronounced dead a short time later. A crossbow was found nearby on the floor. Police, who immediately swarmed the area, were not looking for any suspects, Hopkinson said. Const. Jennifer Sidhu said other “things’’ found in the area that could have been used in the incident. Police blocked off streets and cordoned off an area around the home as they investigated. Numerous police and paramedic vehicles were at the scene and what appeared to be blood was visible from aerial footage shot by local TV station CP24 on a bungalow’s driveway on the tree-lined street.

quick succession, he said. “Crossbows are not a rapid-fire instrument at all,’’ Lounsbury said. “I can probably fire two shots a minute, maybe three.’’ Unlike guns, buying a crossbow does not require a licence. In December 2010, a man fired a bolt into his father’s back at a Toronto public library branch in another crossbow incident that captured the city’s attention. In that case, Zhou Fang then crushed his 52-yearold father’s skull with a hammer. Fang was initially charged with first-degree murder but the prosecution accepted a plea of seconddegree murder after considering that he was the victim of long-term abuse at the hands of his father. He was sentenced to life in prison in 2012.

CHRISTMAS PARTY

HAVE YOU BOOKED YOUR

A13

Holiday Party?

Holiday partygoers: the countdown is on It might seem early to start thinking about Christmas but, for an exceptional holiday office party, now is the time to start planning. Whether your coworkers celebrate at a private function or a multi-office bash, book early to avoid missing out. The following are just a few themes to make your holiday party as memorable as it is merry.

Christmas sweater party

Christmas sweater parties have grown in popularity over the last decade, when revelers have tried to outdo one another with the most

outrageous holidaythemed sweater. Give prizes for the most outlandish sweater and let guests know early on so they can begin their hunt for a holiday sweater that’s so ugly or outrageous you can’t help but love it.

Christmas costume party

Costume parties aren’t just for Halloween. This holiday season, consider making your holiday bash a costume party, encouraging guests to dress up as their favorite characters from holiday tales like Frosty the Snowman, A Christmas Carol or any of the host of beloved holiday legends.

Caribbean Christmas

The weather that comes with the holiday season may be the one thing to put a damper on the festivities. To combat blue feelings from potentially inclement weather, consider a Caribbean theme for your holiday party this season. Rather than wearing sweaters and long pants, wear beach attire and give the party a touch of the Caribbean. Outfit your venue in beach decor and serve food and drinks reminiscent of the Caribbean — mojitos and pina coladas — instead of more traditional holiday fare like eggnog and gingerbread cookies.

Film festival

Holiday movies are another tradition of the season, so why not host a holiday film marathon? Include classics like It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story and encourage guests to submit their own favorites for consideration.

if there are any particular songs they’d like to perform.

Christmas karaoke

For those who love to belt out their favorite holiday tunes, consider throwing a Christmas karaoke party that allows guests to perform their own renditions of their favorite Christmas carols. Purchase a home karaoke set and ask guests in advance of the party

WOLFPACK AT HOME TO START NEW CAMPAIGN ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

ohn Antulov’s expectation for the WolfPack’s third Canada West season is simple: “For me, it’s just to take that next step again,” he said. It’s one of sport’s great clichés — taking the next step. Players talk about taking the next step in their development. Managers hope their club takes steps toward being a contender. Coaches laud steps forward, bemoan steps back. But what does taking the next step really mean for men’s soccer at Thompson Rivers University? Four wins instead of three? A better-than-.500 record? Being competitive night-in and nightout? A playoff berth? “First year, we didn’t expect anything from first year,” Antulov said. “We knew what we were going to get in our first year. “Second year, I think we definitely took that next step and we were a couple matches away from potentially making the playoffs. “This year, I think we need to look at it and say, ‘We need to be battling for one of those playoff positions.’” The 2016-2017 Canada West campaign gets underway this weekend for the Wolves, who will open the season at Hillside Stadium playing host to the UBC Thunderbirds tomorrow and the Victoria Vikes on Sunday. Kickoff both days is slated for 1 p.m. Thompson Rivers won’t be able to ease its way into the regular season — the visiting clubs squared off against one another for Canada West gold last season, with the Thunderbirds eking out a 2-1 double-overtime victory

CIS KICKOFF MATCH #1

0-0-0

Saturday, Aug. 27 UBC @ TRU 1 p.m. Hillside Stadium against the Vikes and later claiming bronze at the CIS national championship. In the Canada West’s annual pre-season coaches poll, UBC was ranked the league’s No. 1 team, followed closely by No. 2 Victoria. Thompson Rivers, meanwhile, was ranked No. 9. But this weekend’s results aren’t foregone conclusions. The Wolves feel the matches will provide a litmus test for where their team truly is. “I think for us, I don’t mind playing them right off the bat,” said Ryan Glanville, the Pack’s leading scorer last season. “It will be a good test for us. Depending on those results, I think it will help showcase not only where we stand within the whole scheme of things, but also what we can work on to get to that level if we’re not quite there yet. “That will be, probably, the hardest weekend out of all of them. So getting that out of the way, it’s something where we can kind of look forward and say, ‘OK, the big battles [are done], we’re ready to go after that.’” Yes, the WolfPack lost 2-0 and 3-0 in its two games against UBC last season, but the club rebounded from a 5-1 defeat in its first contest against Victoria to win its second match against the Vikes 4-2. It was arguably the biggest win in the program’s

history as a CIS school. The defeat of the Vikes was one of three victories for the Wolves on the season, another coming against the Fraser Valley Cascades and the last in a tilt versus the UNBC Timberwolves. The Pack also tied matches against the UBC-Okanagan Heat, the Cascades and the Timberwolves to finish the year 3-6-3. Thompson Rivers’ second season in Canada’s top university

sport league was acceptable, if pedestrian. But if the club is to take that fabled, “next step,” acceptable won’t cut it. They need wins against the teams they should realistically beat and a few of those draws have to be converted to victories. They need to be better than 3-6-3. They expect to be better than 3-6-3. “I think for this year, it’s making playoffs, but not only making

playoffs, but being a good playoff team, really challenging for a Canada West title,” said thirdyear defender Finlay McPhie. “I think we’ve got the guys that can do it.”

Storm plan on returning to KIJHL final ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Storm logo has been painted at centre ice of Memorial Arena. Construction is in full swing in the club’s dressing room — brand-new player stalls being built from scratch, a new floor on its way. The coaches will have new digs, as will the general manager and, before too long, the franchise’s contingent of banners will join those already in the rafters of Kamloops’ downtown rink. Now all Memorial needs is a team to play in it — and that’s on its way, too. The Storm held their annual training camp on McArthur Island on the weekend, making what is expected to be one of the club’s final visits to the North Shore venue after announcing their move to Memorial this offseason. Storm head coach Ed Patterson said the club has identified much of the roster they hope to ice in the 2016-2017 season. The only question is how many of those players will be available following the junior A tryouts underway across the nation. The Chase Heat bounced Kamloops in Round 1 of the playoffs last season. “We’re getting back to the finals, I’ll tell you that much. How they go, I don’t know,” Patterson told KTW. “That’s the goal. We took one year off, just for fun. Now we’re going to go back to work.” Patterson has never been shy about setting high expectations in his tenure behind the bench in the Tournament Capital. Each season, he seems to compile a roster he describes as having more talent, more speed, more potential than any other before it. But the attitude has always served him well. The Storm have reached the KIJHL final in four of his five years as coach, though they are still chasing T H E

I N T E R I O R ’ S

that elusive first title. Does this year’s team have the potential to grab it? The Storm will again be relatively light on returners in their 11th campaign in Kamloops, with wingers Keaton Gordon and Dallas Otto the only two players certain to return to the club. Wingers Brendan Lane and Kole Comin may also return, depending on their success in junior A. On the blueline, Jacob Callas and Garrett Ewert may be the only players to have ever donned a Storm jersey before — both were affiliate players last season — but Patterson said defence should be a strength for Kamloops. “Definitely, our defence is shaping up 1,000 times better than it did last year, I know that for sure,” Patterson said. “We have eight strong D and we definitely don’t expect all eight to be back — one or two of them will make a junior A team.” In goal, the competition is wide open. Aris Anagnostopoulos, who backstopped the B.C. Major Midget League’s Thompson Blazers last season, has signed with the Storm, but is also taking a crack at junior A. Spencer Eschyschyn, who played for Kamloops last season, will likely move on. Tavin Grant may again be looking for a home, depending on how his camp goes with the WHL’s Prince George Cougars. It is expected players being sent back from junior A will arrive in the next week, at which point Patterson will begin putting them through the paces. The Storm will play their first and only exhibition game on Sept. 2, in Chase against the Heat, before opening the regular season at Memorial Arena on Sept. 9, against the Sicamous Eagles. Game time is 7:35 p.m. “We’ll be young, motivated, hungry,” Patterson said. “I think this team will be one of the better ones we’ve put together in a long time.” N E W E S T

Crosby to captain Canada at World Cup of Hockey JONAS SEIGEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Hockey Canada is going to mine a gold-medal leadership group for the upcoming World Cup of Hockey. Sidney Crosby will once again serve as captain for Team Canada, joined like he was at the 2014 Sochi Olympics by Jonathan Toews and Shea Weber as alternates. It seemed only fitting, given Canada’s success in Russia, that the defined leadership group would be given the honour once more at the revived international tournament, which begins in Toronto next month. “They know me, I know them, they know what’s expected,’’ head coach Mike Babcock said of the decision during a Hockey Canada conference call. “And probably the thing that separates them from a lot of players is they play their best in the biggest moments. So for me, to lead a bunch of leaders, because everyone on our team is capable of being a captain, for them to lead a bunch of leaders is going to be important for our group to have success.’’ All three performed on the biggest international stage more than two years ago where Canada captured its second

straight gold medal at the Sochi Games. Crosby scored the second goal of the gold-medal game against Sweden and was a dominant two-way force through the tournament. He also scored one of the biggest goals in Canadian hockey history four years earlier, icing the “golden goal’’ in overtime in Vancouver. Toews, an unexpected star for the Canadians in 2010, opened the scoring against the Swedes in the 2014 gold-medal tilt, leading all Canadian forwards in minutes throughout the event. One half of Canada’s top pair on defence, Weber paced the group both in ice-time (nearly 22 minutes per game) and production, posting six points in six games (tied with Drew Doughty). All three have also performed more than adequately for their NHL club during the Stanley Cup playoffs, especially Crosby and Toews, who have won five Stanley Cups combined, including the second from the Pittsburgh Penguins captain last spring. Crosby, Toews, and Weber each served as captains for their respective NHL teams last season. Just about every player on Canada’s World Cup roster, mind you, wears either an “C’’ or “A’’

for their various NHL clubs, including defenceman Alex Pietrangelo who was named the St. Louis Blues’ 21st captain in franchise history yesterday. Babcock, speaking to the idea of leadership, said that while others may envision a big Hollywood speech, “in reality, [leadership is] more about what you do than what you say. And leadership is delivered in the big moments, under the gun. Leadership is saying the right thing in a calm, composed manner at the right times. “Leadership is about making people accountable when things aren’t right and these guys — whether it be Sid, Weber or Toews — they all do it real well.’’

Bring in the replacements

Influential members of the 2014 Olympic squad, Duncan Keith and Jamie Benn will both sit out next month’s tournament with injury, replaced by Jay Bouwmeester and Logan Couture. Keith, who had right knee surgery early last season, opted to sit out the tournament as a precaution. Benn had core muscle surgery on July 14, opting out of the World Cup to ensure his readiness for the start of the Dallas Stars’ season.

1974 - 2016

James, born September 24, 1974, passed away in the early morning of August 18, 2016 after a battle with cancer. James was an amazing uncle, friend and family man. He moved to Falling Squirrel Ranch in Tranquille Valley from Nanaimo. James became a successful business man, chicken farmer, arborist and was always a loving man to all that knew him. James enjoyed the outdoors, photography, quadding and his many travels near and far. James has started his journey to join his mom Shirley and his aunt Moira. He will forever be missed by his loving family: Kayci, Ken and Cindy, Wesley, mama and papa, Jeff, Shannon and Brooklynn; close friends: Jennifer, Candace, Evonne, Dan, Trevor and Gillian; as well as his sister Amber and other countless family and friends near and far. A private service will be held in Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, a donation in his name to the SPCA in Kamloops would be appreciated. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca

But that is nothing new. We thought of you yesterday, And will tomorrow too. We think of you in silence, And make no outward show. For what it meant to lose you, Only those who love you know. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, It’s the heartache of losing you, That will never go away.

Your loving wife Betty, Debbie, Audrey and Rick and families

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

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, August 29th at 11:00 at OLPH Church. Entombment will follow at Hillside Cemetery, for immediate family only.

Do you know someone that has been touched by Identity Theft? Many people are not aware that Identity Theft can occur even after death. It can be expensive and time consuming for the executor. Government agencies (CPP and OAS are cancelled) and credit reporting agencies (credit cards and loans) are notified to make sure nothing new is issued in the deceased’s name. Call us for more details.

Noreen Beryl Dagan Noreen Beryl Dagan passed away in Kamloops, BC on August 20, 2016 at 87 years of age. She is survived by her husband Ray Dagan, children Ted (Sandra) Dagan, Darlene Dagan (Doug Goldade), Dan Dagan and Diane (Tim) Larose. Also left to remember her are nine grandchildren Darcy Dagan, Darren Dagan, Patrick Goldade, Shane Dagan, Gregory Goldade, Samantha Eckhart, Richard Larose, Krista Meikle, Alexa Dagan and seven great-grandchildren. Mom was the only child born to Ted and Flora Rawden in Burnaby, BC in 1928. Mom spent the first 22 years of her life in the Vancouver area where she met and married Ray in 1950. Mom and Dad continued to live in the Lower Mainland area where their four children were born before moving to Kamloops in 1965. Mom saw her nine grandchildren born throughout various cities in BC and loved to spoil them on their birthdays and at Christmas. Mom loved to sew, golf, dance, socialize with her friends, play cards, and spend time with her family, celebrating special occasions like Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving where she always hosted big family dinners. She also enjoyed over 30 years at her cabin on North Barriere Lake where she and Dad built a cabin for the family to enjoy. Special thank you to the staff at Ridgeview Lodge and Tara Bauer, Mom’s wonderful companion. A remembrance tea to be held September 1, 2016 at Cottonwood Community Centre, Kamloops at 2:00 PM.

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

There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad. It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through. It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word? Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you? I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

day. Mallory had a hand in organizing the small, grassroots Barnhartvale festival, featuring seven bands and an intimate crowd of 200 locals. Johnson Sandwich was fresh off a three-hour gig for KamPlan when it opened for FarmFest. Later that night, Caitlin performed with The Decoys and Mallory with River City Magic. That’s pretty characteristic of the multitasking duo: a corporate gig for the city they love to represent, a folksy set of their favourite acoustic covers, taking the stage with homegrown bands and a quintessential music-loving audience made up of friends of friends. Locally born and raised, Caitlin and Mallory have been immersed in the Kamloops music scene for more than 10 years. “There’s so much talent here,” Caitlin said. “We’re really lucky because sometimes we speak to people who aren’t from here or who are looking for the scene, they are surprised there is one. “I’m almost in it too much to even see how it looks to

other people. Is it cliquey? I hope not.” Both sisters have been musically inclined most of their lives, coming from a family of guitarists, singers and parents who never missed a family trip to the Kaslo Jazz Festival. Caitlin has sung backup for Paul Filek, Cathy Marshall and Leisure Sweet and her voice is featured on every Decoys album. Mallory has played the bass and sang for various bands like The Squish and The Goods, taken one-off gigs and dabbled with an unnamed jazz band that doesn’t mind getting paid in cheese. They credit working with other bands for helping them develop as individual musicians and didn’t anticipate their sisterly debut. It was organic and continues to be. After years of doing their own thing, but in the midst of forming their six-piece cover band The Sleeveless Tees, the pair was asked to sing together at a friend’s wedding. The gig was followed by an invitation to play at a local cafe. When they were asked to come up with a name to go on the poster, Johnson Sandwich was born. They discovered the acoustic duo act was a good fit for Kamloops. “There’s kind of a neat circuit in town for musicians that fit the dinner music hour — Chances, The Commodore, coffee shops. You don’t need to be a full band to play those gigs,” Mallory said. They’ve settled into a routine featuring signature vocal

DRAW DATE: OCT. 4TH

harmonies and both sisters on the acoustic guitar. Now they have a shortlist of percussionists, including Chris Ruston and Sean Schneider, who join them on the cajone or djembe. Their setlist is an eclectic mix of their favourites songs to cover — Moondance, No Doubt’s Sunday Morning, Land Down Under by Men At Work, Tiffany’s I think We’re Alone Now and For The Longest Time by Billy Joel. Other artists they cover include Sam Roberts Band, Weezer, Blue Rodeo and Matt Mays. “We don’t reimagine them completely, but sort of adapt them,” Mallory said. “I think our appeal, I think our strength is in having people recognize and get joy from the songs they hear in our setlist and that kind of charges me up as a performer.” Caitlin and Mallory have written one original song together — Restless, for a Shaw TV feature — but have little interest doing more. As a duo, they thrive on watching the audience sway to songs they forgot they knew. “We both have day jobs. This is just a total hobby, but total passion on the side,” Caitlin said. “I find it so interesting to think some people don’t have music in their lives and obviously there’s something else they really appeal to, but I can’t imagine my life without music.”

LAST CHANCE U

ALL-ACCESS PASS TO NJCAA TEAM

had low expectations for Netflix’s Last Chance U, when I first turned it on to kill an hour. But what started as nothing more than background noise ended with me binge-watching the entire sixepisode series in one weekend. A documentary series following the Lions football club at East Mississippi Community College, Last Chance U is a show in the vein of similar behind-the-scenes franchises like HBO’s 24/7 and Hard Knocks. It gives viewers an all-access pass into the inner-workings of the three-time National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) national champion Lions, the realities of collegiate sport and the importance of the team on the campus in Scooba, Miss., a town of little more than 600 people. But the series is about more than just football. For much of the Lions’ roster, their tenure at East

Mississippi marks what could be their last chance at both a football career and an education. The Lions specialize in rehabilitating players whose tenures at Division 1 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) schools were either cut short or never started because of behavioural and academic issues. As entertaining as it is to have a window into the inner-workings of a collegiate sports team, following along with all the personalities on the Lions was what kept me watching until the end. One of Netflix’s first forays into the sporting world, Last Chance U doesn’t disappoint. — Adam Williams

’m pretty sure Seth Rogen cooked up Sausage Party while stoned. Just a theory, after recently watching the adult animated movie. The premise is this: food is alive in an alternate dimension and humans are oblivious. Bagels, buns, sausages and all the food groups walk, talk, think and feel. They also cuss, get high and have sex — living up to the “party” in its name. I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about this movie. It’s clever at times but I thought it’d be a bit

funnier. I’m also still slightly traumatized from more than a couple of its scenes. (I won’t be eating some foods anytime soon.) Rated 18A, one review called it “raunchy” — pretty accurate. Check it out with a good sense of humour — but don’t say I didn’t warn you. — Jessica Wallace

ON WRITING: A MEMOIR OF THE CRAFT

OLDY BUT A GOODY

can’t say enough about Stephen King’s On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. Part auto-biography and part advice, it should be on the reading list in English classes everywhere. Call me biased. It is not an overstatement to say I loved this book and couldn’t put it down. I hadn’t thought of myself as a King fan before, but On Writing sent me down a rabbit hole. Many more movies than I realized were based on his writing. In fact, he has a borderline incestuous relationship with Hollywood. You probably know Carrie, The Shining, Pet Semetery and Cujo. But did you know The Shawshank Redemption, Secret Window and The Green Mile come from his work, as well? Call me naive, but damn — so cool. I digress. The book is quite a bit older, so you might have already read it, but if not I recommend it. It is insight into King’s success and a practical writing guide that’s breezier than Strunk and White’s. All in all, helpful to aspiring writers of all levels and a plain good read. — Jessica Wallace

SO HOT RIGHT NOW

my Schumer: Live at the Apollo came out last fall but, having just checked it out, I’d recommend it for a good laugh. The HBO special is still available on demand. You can probably stream it online for free somewhere. It isn’t exactly kid friendly, so save it for a night when the kids are in bed.

Schumer’s topics are feminist in nature — she jokes about things like dieting and sex — and her modern voice is refreshing. I’ll provide one teaser without giving it all away. In riffing on a nutty diet plan the American comedian was given by a personal trainer, she said: “He’s like, OK, here’s your new diet. “So for breakfast, you’ll have a smoothie.

“Then for lunch, you’ll journal about that smoothie. “And then you put a peanut under your pillow and you hope you dream about pizza.” OK, maybe you didn’t laugh but it all comes with her sassy delivery. Creator of her own show, Schumer writes, produces and stars in Inside Amy Schumer. Her memoir, The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, just came out on

Grande

Aug. 16 and I’m already a quarter way through it after watching the onehour stand-up show. So far, it’s not as funny as her comedy special, but she does stay true to her voice. You can hear her sassy delivery even when she’s oversharing stories about her stuffed animal collection. Things you never thought you’d know about a person. — Jessica Wallace

Limited issue event comics appeal to wide audience

ome of my favourite comic stories have come from summer event titles published by Marvel and DC comics. Event titles always have a large cast of superheroes and villains, so they’ll appeal to a wide audience of readers. They are also written and illustrated by the industry’s top talents. These stories are produced as a limited issue main storyline, usually running from six to 12 issues. Commonly a secondary story arc and tie-in issues are offered for readers who desire a full backstory. The best portion of the storyline comes in the main series. The original sum-

Comic

KAM

mer event came out in 1984, titled Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars. This whole epic event came together as a joint venture between Marvel Comics and the toy company Mattel, which wanted to make a range of action figures based on Marvel’s characters.

The story was based on the premise an alien being from outside the Marvel universe, called the Beyonder, discovered Earth and wanted to learn more about us. The Beyonder transported several heroes and villains into space to fight on a patchwork planet called Battleworld; the victors would be granted anything their hearts desired. Kind of a cliche story by today’s standards, but at the time it was a great introduction to the Marvel universe. The series produced a few changes in the Marvel universe including new characters: Titania, Volcana and a new Spider Woman.

Most significantly, Spider-Man gets his new black costume, which in later issues of his own series, reveals the costume was an alien symbiotic life form from Battleworld. The symbiote later attaches to Eddie Brock, becoming the super villain Venom. There have been several events since Secret Wars, including the wildly popular Civil War from 2006 to 2007. As the title suggests, this comic series was the basis for the recent Captain America: Civil War movie. Which, not a coincidence, leads to this year’s summer event titled Civil War II. This current civil war revolves around a

new moral crisis posed to the super heroes of Earth. A new character in the Marvel universe has emerged with the unsettling ability to predict the future with seeming accuracy. Captain Marvel is leading the direction to police these future crimes, while Iron Man and Captain America are standing firm that punishment cannot come before the crime. How does it unfold? The story has yet to be concluded but has been a fantastic read so far. Randy Wagner is assistant manager of High Octane Comics. For more, visit 250 Third Ave. or call 250-377-8444.

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars was the original summer event comic book, debuting in 1984.

BACK on track Festival attendance up this year in Salmon Arm DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

DALE BASS PHOTOS/KTW

ood weather, happy crowds and great music have helped put the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival back on track. About 26,000 people attending the three-day event last weekend, enjoying sunny skies, summertime heat and four stages kept

busy with more than 42 musicians, including headliners Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle, Whitehorse and Matt Andersen. While that total isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the highest, it is an improvement over the last couple of years. Festival artistic director Peter North said the event came together perfectly, with advance ticket sales strong and plenty of people buying tickets at the gate.

The festival struggled in recent years but North, who was hired in February, 2014, said the future is continuing to look good, with many performers telling him they want to come back. Some who have been missing from the roster for years thanked festival organizers for bringing them back to what they call a great festival that gives them a chance to share the

stage with performers they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t encountered during workshops. The only hitch came courtesy of Mother Nature when strong winds on Sunday afternoon took down sails and banners at two of the stages and forced organizers to leave the large screen lowered. The festival will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year.

am doing a risky thing. I am revisiting Calcutta (Kolkata as it’s now called) — a city where I was once a little girl living with my parents and my sister in the long vanished world of Raj. So now, after all these years, will my childhood memories of the city I loved be shattered? If I’m to believe ex-Calcuttans who have returned to visit, the city is a sweltering hellhole of teeming crowds, beggars, crumbling tenements and overflowing garbage heaps. Their warning comes back to me on my drive from Howrah Station to my hotel on Middleton Row. We hit the Bow Bazaar area plunging into a pandemonium of buses, trucks, cars, hand-pulled rickshaws, animals and pedestrians and I have to roll up the taxi windows against billowing clouds of

I am, however, glad to see the Calcutta trams, which once resembled battered biscuit tins on wheels, have been modernized and jazzed up with bright orange paint and eyecatching ads. I study a map of the city the next morning. In a burst of nationalistic fervor, many street names have been changed, but it takes more than a cartographer’s pen to wipe out 300 years of history. For me, this is as much a journey into colonial India’s past, as it is through my own childhood years in the city. Calcutta (before it became “Kolkata”) was, for more than two centuries, the domain of the East India Company which established its richly profitable commercial base here

in the mid-1700s. After the British Crown gained dominion over the sub-continent in 1858, the city assumed the mantle of the nation’s capital. Much of that history lives on in Kolkata’s architectural heritage. With that in mind, I head to St. John’s Anglican Church to pay tribute to a man without whom Calcutta would not have come into existence at all. Job Charnock, the founder of Calcutta in the 17th Century, rests here along with his Indian wife in an impressive mausoleum. Not far from St. John’s is a red brick building, appropriately called “Writers Building” where the Company’s clerks, known as writers, laboured under punkhas (cloth fans attached to rods

and suspended from the ceiling) pulled back and forth by coolies. Today it is the West Bengal Secretariat and clerks, known as babus, still process Government files tied up (literally) in red tape. Around the corner is Raj Bhavan, a dazzling white domed structure set among orderly lawns and flower beds once Britain’s Governor-General’s residence, and now the address of the Governor of West Bengal. Probably the most iconic examples of Calcutta’s colonial architecture is the imposing Victoria Memorial. Situated at the south end of the Maidan, it is a massive marble-domed building embellished with statuary and exquisite basrelief artwork. I walk up the broad gravel driveway, breathe in the scent of marigold flowers and pause to listen to the plaintive call of the Indian Koel bird — a nostalgic sound that takes me back to childhood — wafting across the lawns.

To the left of the lofty entrance hall is an air conditioned wing where I spend a couple of hours absorbed in a magnificent display of paintings, photographs, articles and memorabilia spanning the city’s 300-year-old history. St. Paul’s Cathedral across from the Victoria Memorial is reminiscent of England’s Canterbury cathedral. Memorial tablets along the walls pay tribute to the lives and careers of British army officers and administrators who once worshipped here. This is where we attended Sunday services and, as I stand here now looking at the altar at the far end of the long nave and the Cathedral’s magnificent stained windows, the present and past merge into the moment. Other reminders of Calcutta’s past are the graves at the Park Street Cemetery with headstone inscriptions going back to the 1700s. Among other notables, William Makepeace Thackeray’s father rests

here and, tucked to one side, I find a half-obliterated memorial stone marking the death of Lieutenant Walter Landor Dickens, a son of Charles Dickens. Despite its colonial overtones, however, today’s Kolkata is very much a contemporary Indian city. Its cultural heritage is rich in music, theatre, dance, literature and art. It has counted among its citizens the likes of Satyajit Ray, internationally acclaimed filmmaker and writer and Rabindranath Tajore, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1913. Theatrical dance/drama performances take place regularly throughout the city and the India Coffee House near the University is where Bengali scholars, poets and writers hold forth with passionate loquacity on subjects ranging from radical political theories, to abstruse philosophical speculation.

FAITH

Jesus not just simply a great moral teacher

1954 letter written by Albert Einstein to philosopher Erik Gutkind has the famous scientist saying belief in God is “childish superstition.” Though the letter did not mention Einstein’s view of Jesus, redeeming the latter from associated superstitious views would perhaps place him best in a moral category — and nothing else. Among the many myths surrounding the Jesus of Nazareth, a prominent one goes like this: Yes, Jesus was a good man, a great moral teacher, but only that. With the drop of a hat, many acknowledged Jesus was an important figure in world history. This Galilean peasant-teacher has had more influence on humankind than any

other person. But was he anything more than that? We date our era by him. Our educational systems, values, standards, laws, love of justice and freedom owe much to him. Art, music, sculpture, thought and literature have been taken up with Jesus more than with any others for almost 2,000 years of recorded history. Yet, he is, for all practical purposes, ignored, except by a minority, partly because he is incon-

venient and his very name makes us uncomfortable. He is condescendingly dismissed with a wave of hand and the comment, “Jesus? Yes, of course, he was a great moral teacher.” Now, undoubtedly he was a great teacher, one in a class of his own. He spoke with great authority: “You have heard it said, but I tell you . . .” He spoke with simplicity so ordinary people could understand him. He taught with remarkable depth: “Love your enemies; do good to those who mistreat you,” an exceedingly effective way of dealing with violent opposition. His wisdom silenced opponents time and again. No wonder people marvelled at the teaching of this man who lacked higher education. No wonder they followed him

everywhere, hanging onto his every word. But, something else is remarkable about Jesus and his teachings. As well as teaching the highest standards known to mankind, he kept them. Not only did he teach people to love their enemies, but he also forgave those who crucified him. Yes, Jesus was a great moral teacher. But neither he nor his followers would allow us to get away with the idea he was that and no more. Jesus was either someone much more or much less. He made the most astonishing claims, claims that have never been paralleled by any sane person. He claimed he could forgive people’s sins, that he had the right to their worship and that he alone represented the way to God. To be sure, Jesus did not go around saying,

“I am God.” That would have been utterly misleading and totally incomprehensible. But all four Gospels bristle with supernatural claims on his part. If he was only a teacher, he was a misleading one indeed. Therefore, to say Jesus was simply a good moral teacher is untenable. It means ignoring half the evidence. If he is not the one who made God real by sharing our human nature, he is either an untrustworthy liar or a deluded imbecile. Why should we believe his claims? Many have made false claims for themselves. Many psychiatric wards house deluded individuals. It is, and ought to be, difficult to think of Jesus as more than a man. And yet, what are the alternatives? Was he a sham? Is it credible this

man, who was so ruthless against hypocrisy, should have built his whole ministry on lies? Is it possible he would have allowed himself to be executed in the most excruciating way for what he knew to be untrue? Or, was he simply mistaken? That would hardly do in his case. If the greatest teacher of all is mistaken about the central issues of his life and claims, he is not such a great teacher after all. If we decline to credit what he has to say about his origin and authority, why should we pay attention to the rest of his teachings? Did Jesus perhaps suffer delusions of grandeur? Maybe this carpenter-teacher had ideas above his station and his claims to deity were the result of mental imbalance? This position is hard to substantiate.

There are normally three key symptoms in those who are mentally ill: they have inadequacy in relating to the real world; they display inadequacy in personal relationships; and they are marked by inadequacy in communication. These three symptoms are all utterly inapplicable to Jesus. He was the supreme communicator, he possessed the most devastating insight into reality, and he was, of all people, the most loving and strong relationally. Jesus of Nazareth was not simply a great moral teacher. He cuts too deep and steps out too far from the crowd. We can cast doubts on his mental state. But the tag, “only a teacher,” does neither identify him nor bespeak of him. ryanmitra225@ gmail.com
