‘We were waiting for the end’ TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

t was “a fluke.”

That’s how Good Samaritan Ryan Fisher described it — the chance role he played in saving the lives of two Kamloops men who had all but given up on survival after their boat flipped in a small North Thompson lake last month.

Fisher said he was driving with his family down a back-country road near Barriere when he was flagged down.

“I was taking my kids camping and one guy came running up, yelling and screaming,” he said.

“By then, they’d already got the two guys down to the dock.”

The “two guys” were Allan Pasichnyk and Ernie Matechuk.

Pasichnyk, 84, and Matechuk, 71, have been fishing buddies for more than a decade.

They spend most Thursdays at Gorman Lake, 19 kilometres northwest of Barriere.

The secluded spot became their go-to fishing hole because of its isolation.

“We go on Thursdays because there’s no one else on the lake,” Pasichnyk told KTW. “We could be there all day and see maybe two or three vehicles.”

Pasichnyk characterized the “fluke” as something else entirely.

“It was a miracle,” he said. *** More than a month removed from their Sept. 3 brush with death, Pasichnyk and Matechuk are still unclear on the details.

“I don’t know exactly what happened,” Pasichnyk said.

“I caught a fish, but I had my line behind the oar, so I just turned around and stepped back — and over we went.”

Their nine-foot flatbottom boat flipped.

Both men had life vests, but only Matechuk was wearing his. Pasichnyk had given his preserver

CAN YOU HELP? Allan Pasichnyk and Ernie Matechuk would really like to track down the two Good Samaritans who saved them from drowning in Gorman Lake on Sept. 3. So far, all they know is that the men were young — likely in their 20s — were from Kamloops and work as electricians at the same local company. If you know who they are, call 778-471-7540 and we’ll get them in touch.

to his friend to keep his legs dry in the rain.

In all their years fishing together, the pair said, they had never gone into the water.

“It just happened so quick,” Matechuk said.

“The boat created some sort of vacuum underneath and we couldn’t move it.”

The water in Gorman Lake was 13 C, according to Pasichnyk’s fish finder.

Both men went into shock.

“I didn’t feel cold at all,” Matechuk said.

“That’s why I didn’t think I would get hypothermia, because I didn’t feel cold.”

They were about 100 feet from shore — too far for Pasichnyk to swim without a life vest.

So, he grabbed hold of the overturned boat and prayed.

“I hung on,” he said.

“We finally realized we’re not going to make it, so both Ernie and I prayed.

“We turned to the good Lord, the only one who could help us, and he did.

“It really was a miracle.” *** After spending an hour trying to stay afloat in cold water, with colder rain pouring down, Pasichnyk and Matechuk had given up.

“I told Allan, because he said a few times, ‘You swim to shore — I’m going to let go of the boat,’” Matechuk said.

“I said, ‘I’m not going to leave you here.’

“I remember, when it started getting blurry for me, I said, ‘Allan, I think this is it.’”

All the while, Pasichnyk said, they were praying.

“I had given up, too,” he said.

“Then, we heard a

holler from the road and our hopes just boosted right up.

“Both of us sent up a holler. I think they heard it down to Kamloops.

“About the last thing I remember is a boat coming out to our boat.

I just remember the boat coming to ours.” *** According to Fisher, the two life-savers happened upon the distressed men by complete chance.

“They told me the only reason they stopped is because one of them had to go pee,” he said.

“And, the other one was just looking around with his binoculars and he saw the capsized boat.

“It was a fluke.”

Fisher said the Good Samaritans rushed into action, getting their own boat into the waters of Gorman Lake and rushing to rescue.

They towed Pasichnyk and Matechuk to shore and began to warm them up — slowly.

“They knew what they were doing,” Matechuk said.

“The RCMP said that, if they warmed us up too fast, we would have had heart attacks.”

When Fisher happened upon the scene, the Good Samaritans

had already loaded Matechuk into their truck.

Pasichnyk, who was in rougher shape, was lying passed out on a wooden boardwalk.

Fisher said he approached and grabbed his hand.

“When you grabbed him, it was like you were grabbing onto an ice cube,” he said.

Pasichnyk said he was told a different metaphor.

“Ryan was saying, when he grabbed onto my hand, it was like grabbing the hand of a dead man,” he said. *** Fisher said he helped load Pasichnyk into the Good Samaritans’ truck. They then drove to meet a pair of waiting ambulances near Barriere, where the two fishermen were rushed to Royal Inland Hospital.

Matechuk was released the following morning.

Pasichnyk wasn’t discharged until a day later.

Both men feel lucky to be alive — and both want to thank their unidentified heroes.

“We were waiting for the end to come and, thankfully, it didn’t,” Pasichnyk said.

“We sure would like to get a hold of the boys and thank them.” *** All is not lost for Pasichnyk and Matechuk.

Pasichnyk said he hired a diver to fetch his sunken gear from the bottom of Gorman Lake.

The pair will fish again.

But, not on Thursday.

“Not yet,” Matechuk said.

“We’ll wait until spring, probably.”

tion to cast a ballot.

Elections Canada’s KamloopsThompson-Cariboo returning officer Nancy Plett said the number of voters who have voted by special ballot is much higher than in previous elections.

“Over the last couple weeks, we’ve really started to pick up,” Plett said.

Voters can cast a special ballot at Elections Canada’s office at the corner of Columbia Street and Summit Drive until 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 13. The office’s regular hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.

Plett believes awareness of special-ballot voting is growing thanks to

educational efforts by Elections Canada.

“A lot of people think special-ballot voting is if you’re leaving town and going away and won’t be here on election day, which is definitely one of the purposes of it,” she said.

“But, it’s also for those people who may be working that day and maybe can’t get to the polls. It may be that they just don’t like being with the crowds. There’s various reasons.”

This weekend, voters will have additional chances to go to the polls ahead of general voting day on Oct. 19. Advance polls are running from noon to 8 p.m. today through Monday at 20 locations in the riding.

Plett said elections

WHAT TO KNOW WHEN VOTING Elections Canada’s voter information cards cannot be used as identification in this election. Voters must bring two pieces of ID to their polling place, at least one of which shows a current address. Identification can include a driver’s licence, library card, income tax assessment or band membership card.

elections.ca or call the local elections office at 250-571-1580.

Plett recommends voters take a look at their voting cards before Oct. 19, regardless of when they plan to vote.

More than 5,000 voters in Toronto were issued new cards after they were instructed to vote at an address that does not exist.

If voters find anything that seems strange on their cards, Plett said they should call the local elections office.

Plett said Elections Canada has re-issued some voting cards locally for Sun Peaks and in the community of Vavenby, where a new poll was set up after voters were initially instructed to drive 45 kilometres to Avola to vote.

Final debate of campaign Oct. 14 Kamloops This Week, CFJC-TV and CBC Radio Kamloops have teamed up to host the final political forum of the campaign — on Wednesday, Oct. 14, in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University.

The debate will take place five days before voters go the polls in the Oct. 19 federal election.

All four candidates running in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding have confirmed their attendance: Conservative Cathy McLeod, Green Matt Greenwood, Liberal Steve Powrie and New Democrat Bill Sundhu.

The debate will start at 7 p.m. with candidates’ opening statements, followed by a question from each of the three media sponsors, followed by questions from the public.

Each candidate will also have a closing statement.

Questions from the public must be directed to a specific candidate, who will have one minute to answer.

The remaining candidates can then use 30 seconds for a rebuttal.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The atmosphere and quips at the penultimate election campaign debate in Kamloops.

All four candidates were at the Brock Activity Centre on Wednesday for the Centre for Seniors Information-sponsored forum on issues focusing on seniors and veterans’ affairs.

Turnout was healthy, questions were incisive and the candidates were energized.

Here’s hoping the final debate of the campaign is as vibrant.

Everyone is welcome to head to the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University on Wednesday, Oct. 14, for the 7 p.m. event.

Bring your questions and take part in democracy.

OUR

NOT: The layabouts who are too cheap or lazy to properly dispose of their junk.

Instead of paying a few bucks to take their old and broken belongings to the landfill, these miscreants are dumping their mess at St. Vincent De Paul Society’s North Kamloops location.

The society — like many others in the city — does accept legitimate donations to pass on to needy people, but does not need the headache and cost associated with getting rid of the junk.

VIEW

HOT: The Kamloops Broncos offence.

As the B.C. Football Conference club prepares for an Oct. 18 playoff game in Kelowna, it is basking in the glory of its spot on the league’s all-star team.

Congratulations to the six Broncos who were named league allstars: Quarterback Stephen Schuweiler, running back Jacob Palmarin, receivers Derek Yachison and Devin Csincsa and offensive linemen Derek Walde and Cameron Brown.

The ABCs of wacky voting

I

t’s blue and red neck-andneck, with orange fading fast.

Or, it’s red and blue neck-and-neck and orange falling slowly.

Or, it’s blue expanding its lead over red and orange dropping like the loonie.

Or, it’s red with an increasing lead over blue, with orange losing its a-peel.

Sometimes you need a bad pun to weather the eyestraininducing national polls that seem to be released every time a leader burps.

Abacus Data, Nanos, Ekos, Ipsos Reid, Légere Marketing, Forum Research — there might be as many polling firms as there are candidates in the 338 ridings nationwide.

But, can we trust the polls in these days of dying landlines and an extreme aversion to 1-800 numbers that do filter through to the old home phone?

When polling numbers failed miserably in the April 2012 election in Quebec, the September 2012 election in Alberta and the May 2013 election in B.C., it appeared the only trustworthy Angus Reid was the former centre for the B.C. Lions — when he was healthy.

Then again, polls were on the mark in this year’s Alberta election, which produced the unthinkable — a New Democrat government in the free-enterprise capital of Canada.

If — if — the latest national polls are on target, we are looking at a photo finish between Stephen Harper’s Conservatives

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS and Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, resulting in a minority government with Thomas Mulcair’s New Democrats ready to be courted.

Prominent during this election campaign has been nauseating attacks.

Actually, Trudeau just may be ready. Harper is not evil personified. And, Mulcair is no more a career politician than any other MP with at least the magic six years of service that opens a lifelong bank account.

Also prominent during this campaign has been the vocal ABC movement — Anybody But Conservatives.

The strategy from the Hate Harper brigade is to have nonConservative voters cast a ballot for the candidate of the party that has the best chance to win in their riding.

(While these ABC advocates will tell all who will listen that “everybody” wants change in Ottawa, polling would suggest otherwise.)

The ABC faction has websites that suggest where NDP/Liberal

voters should park their vote in the quest, but such an approach may create unintended results.

Here in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding, popular belief is that the race is between Conservative Cathy McLeod and New Democrat Bill Sundhu, though Steve Powrie’s Liberal team members whose knuckles are raw from doorknocking will tell you we all might be in for a surprise come Oct. 19.

Nevertheless, think about it: If Liberal and Green supporters jump on the ABC train to back the NDP locally, and if national polling is correct, Kamloopsians would go from having a government MP (and the significant funding that has been brought to town) to electing an MP sitting in the third tier of benches in Ottawa, looking up at the Official Opposition and government MPs. The elimination of the pervote subsidy (until the 2011 election, registered political parties received $2.04 per vote if they garnered a certain percentage of support) has killed at least one incentive to cast a ballot for a candidate with no shot at winning.

It has also contributed to that all-too-Canadian pastime of voting against something rather than for something.

Here’s a novel thought: Why not read the party platforms and talk to the four Kamloops candidates and vote for the person and party you believe will best serve your household and Canada? editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ALLOW WOMEN THE RIGHT TO BE VEILED Editor: “Freedom, respect and tolerance” are the very words of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, signalling Conservative values.

Yet, these three tenets don’t hold in regard to his treatment of Muslim women who wish to wear the niqab and follow their faith.

The culture of women wearing the niqab is foreign to most Canadians, but why should a woman not choose to wear the niqab if her belief in modesty is so strong?

Easy for these women to discard the niqab;

LADIES, THAT WAS MY MONEY Editor: Thank you to the two elderly ladies who were observed picking up a $20 bill and $10 bill from the floor at Tim Hortons in Valleyview (the location next to A&W) on Wednesday, Sept. 30, just after 10 a.m.

Fortunately, you were observed leaving the building without turning in the money to staff.

The number to call is 778-220-6698 if you wish to return my lost money to me.

Robert Allaire Kamloops

so easy for Canadians to disregard freedom of choice, respect for different dress code and forget about tolerance of the opposite sex.

This is what Harper is doing. He is defying not just niqab wearers, but the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Our society should listen to the poem A Nun Takes The Veil by the great Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins: “I have desired to go “Where springs not fail, “To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail

“And a few lilies blow.

“And I have asked to be “Where no storms come, “Where the green swell is in the heavens dumb, “And out of the swing of the sea.”

Surely Canada is such a safe haven for all women, nuns or not, including those whose beliefs are so strong in public they choose the right to be veiled.

John Brook Kamloops

WILL PRICES AT PAC PRECLUDE ATTENDANCE? Editor: Outside of raising property taxes again to pay for the cost of debt in building a new arts centre, I was wondering if anyone else is asking if the price of a performance ticket will also increase.

We have been attending and greatly enjoying performances of both Western Canada Theatre and the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra since moving to Kamloops.

The ticket prices have been so affordable and we have never once

been disappointed in any performance due to the venue being Sagebrush Theatre.

We have forgone seeing a play in Vancouver to come home to Kamloops to see the same play at a more affordable price.

Considering we are being promised the cost of building the new performing-arts centre will “only be” $100 million, what about the cost of running the building?

I suspect the costs of running the new arts centre will be passed

on to the audience.

The performing arts are appreciated in Kamloops.

It helps that tickets are so reasonable.

If we increase the number of seats, they will need to be filled. If we then increase ticket prices, will there still be a full house?

I would be so disappointed if I am no longer able to attend performances.

Kamloops This Week reader Breanna Turmel was driving east on Highway 1 on Wednesday afternoon, near Orchards Walk, when she came across this accident at 3:20 p.m. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police were called to the single-vehicle crash, with the driver being the lone occupant of the car.

He was uninjured and handed a violation ticket for driving without due care.

Gravel-pit route not done deal ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owners of a gravel pit west of Barnhartvale say a controversial road through Crown land isn’t the only option they are exploring to link their operation to Kamloops’ roads.

Speaking on behalf of Hunter pit owner Rob Hunter and an unnamed partner, consultant Dave Cunliffe said negotiations with private landowners are also ongoing to secure a route off the 106-acre property.

Residents in the Uplands Drive area have objected to the road application, under review by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, as has the City of Kamloops.

The road would branch off

from McLeod Drive — and neighbours worry the local road cannot support increased truck traffic. The route would also cut through a network of well-used trails on Crown land.

Cunliffe said between 25 and 40 truckloads of material are hauled from the pit every week, but noted the operation is looking to expand.

For now, trucks access the pit via a road through Orchards Walk in Valleyview, but Cunliffe said the route “doesn’t have the kind of security of access going forward that they need.”

Cunliffe said he couldn’t provide details on the issues with the current access route, as they could harm ongoing negotiations for two other potential routes to the site.

“Really, the message to the Uplands community is this is

by no means a certainty and one of several options being examined,” he said.

However, even the Crown land road isn’t needed, Cunliffe said, BC Hydro will only connect the pit to the power grid if it can do so through the McLeod Drive connection.

The pit owners want power on the site so they can expand their operation, and Cunliffe said future developments on the large property are also a possibility.

Residents with concerns or comments about the road application have until Tuesday to contact the province.

Should the ministry approve the road plans and other route negotiations fail, Cunliffe said the pit owners would meet with residents to try to alleviate their concerns.

A Kamloops girl who was “a bully” in youth jail has been ordered to spend two weeks behind bars at an adult prison.

support by doctors might be one of the reasons.

He noted when the College of Physicians and Surgeons set guidelines requiring patients be approved by their doctor for cannabis therapy, it had an impact on potential patients.

Many doctors aren’t educated on the benefits of it, Mitchell said, with only about seven per cent of physicians prescribing cannabis.

er this year to spend 12 months under a number of strict conditions, including orders requiring her to abide by a curfew, go to school and abstain from drugs and alcohol.

On July 23, she was sentenced to spend eight days in a youth custody centre.

Crown prosecutor Will Burrows said Calder was “a bully” in the youth jail.

“She was behaving like a top dog,” he said.

Within weeks of Calder’s

release from custody, court heard, she began breaching her conditions by taking drugs, skipping school and not showing up to counselling appointments.

Burrows said Calder’s probation officer suggested some time behind bars with adults might change her course.

“She’s sort of at her wit’s end with Ms. Calder,” he said. “She thinks she might benefit from some time at B.C. women’s corrections.”

Calder, who has a two-yearold son, said she is eager to turn her life around.

“I’ve said it before, but my life is going downhill,” she said.

“I’m going to end up dead if I don’t turn my life around.”

Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison sentenced Calder to 14 days in adult prison, to be followed by a nine-month probation term.

“You are on a course that carries with it the risk of a fatal mistake,” he said.

ReaLeaf clinic becomes MCRC

Kamloops RCMP police dog Zak has again taken a bite out of crime.

Zak was instrumental in helping officers arrest a suspected vehicle thief in the dead of night this week.

Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police were called at 2:20 a.m. on Wednesday about a pickup truck that had been stolen from a business compound on Chief Louis Way in the Mount Paul Industrial Park.

About an hour later, the stolen vehicle — a red Ford F350 — was seen on Highway 5 near Mount Paul Way. The driver drove away when police tried to stop the truck.

While officers were attempting to stop the vehicle, another call was received that a red Ford truck had been driving on the Mt. Paul Golf Course and had backed into the vehicle of a golf course employee who was trying to note the licence plate. The golf course employee was not injured, but his vehicle suffered damages.

Mounties then found the vehicle abandoned on Crescent Drive in Valleyview, where Zak tracked the suspect from the stolen vehicle to where he was hiding, in a nearby yard on Glenwood Drive.

Bush said a 48-year-old man remains in police custody and will be facing multiple charges in relation to the incident. Police continue to investigate and are trying to identify a second man who was involved in the theft of the vehicle.

BLAZERS SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS

KAMLOOPS AIMING TO REBOUND AFTER POOREST START IN FRANCHISE HISTORY MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Answers are escaping the Kamloops Blazers, who, five games into the 2015-2016 WHL season, are off to the worst start in the franchise’s 35-year history.

Goaltender Connor Ingram, often quick-witted and smiling, was in a bad place after his team’s latest loss — 4-3 to the Tri-City Americans at Sandman Centre on Wednesday.

“I don’t know what to do with myself,” said the 18-yearold backstop, who has a goalsagainst average of 4.61 and an .864 save percentage.

“I come into camp, I’m in the best shape of my life, the best I’ve ever been, working hard in practice, putting my time in . . .

I’m not sure right now.

“It’s frustrating trying to figure it all out, but I think it’s coming.”

LOWEST COST OF OWNERSHIP OF ANY FULL SIZED PICKUP!**

The Victoria Royals have sprinted out of the gate and are 5-1 heading into a tilt tonight against hometown Kelowna (5-2).

Kamloops will get its third shot at the Vancouver Island squad tomorrow, having dropped the first two meetings last weekend in Victoria.

Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre.

Ingram has not yet found the excellent form he enjoyed after Christmas last season, but he was not to blame for the loss on Wednesday.

He couldn’t say exactly what went wrong, outside of suggesting the young Blazers are still acclimatizing to the speed of the WHL, and neither could 20-year-old stalwart D-man Ryan Rehill.

“It’s hard to pinpoint it on one thing,” said Rehill, whose Blazers relinquished three leads

against the Ams. “Nobody really expected this would be the way we would start our season.

“We’ve got to find ways to string together a couple wins.

We’re close. We’re getting better.

But, it’s not quite there. We need to find a way to get points.”

Kamloops has 67 games remaining, ample time to reverse its fortune, a task that will become less daunting when dangerous Deven Sideroff returns to the lineup.

The 18-year-old Summerland

product is recovering from a virus and is expected to skate with the team today. He might return to the lineup against Seattle on Oct. 16.

Kamloops captain Matt Needham will be praying for Sideroff, wishing him an expedited return to health.

Needham, who scored 76 points playing on a line last season with Sideroff and Cole Ully, has one assist in five games and is minus-8 on the campaign.

“I know, personally, he complements me very well,” Needham said. “We miss him, but we can’t really focus on that.”

Head coach Don Hay did not seem fazed by the defeat on Wednesday night. Instead, he focused on how his charges responded to a Monday morning meeting.

“We asked for them to com-

“They’re disappointed, for sure. They’re down. But, I thought we competed at a good level tonight.”

From the top down, the organization’s message has been clear since Day 1 of training camp: It’s playoffs or bust.

The season is far from lost, but the Blazers need to find answers in a hurry, before it’s too late.

“It can be tough at times [to maintain belief ],” Rehill said.

“With me and the leadership group, we can’t let that fall on the guys.

“We have to keep a positive mindset and focus on the things we have to do to be successful.”

with Canadian and American passports, accepted a scholarship to attend the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs following his junior hockey career.

He is in line to hit the ice for the Air Force Falcons in 2017-2018.

The full-ride scholarship to the Division 1 NCAA school means Johnson will not only graduate from the institution with a bachelor’s degree, but also as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force.

“It was a fantastic opportunity — it’s a great achievement,” Johnson said of the scholarship. Describing himself as a math person, he’s particularly interested in the academy’s engineering program.

“I’ve just got to keep my grades up and work hard, bury my head and go at it.”

The Vancouverborn forward came to the Storm from the Trail Smoke Eaters of the BCHL earlier this season. Though he was Trail’s property for the last two seasons, he only suited up in 30 games in junior A, twice sidelined by a broken collarbone and shoulder issues.

He tallied 11 points, all assists, with Trail.

right and it made for a comfortable transition to Kamloops, on and off the ice. Though his mother hails from Oregon, the family makes its home in the Tournament Capital.

His play on the ice tells a similar story — he has 11 points, including four goals, in nine games with the Storm.

“Robb’s game, overall, he’s got high-end skills,” said Storm head coach Ed Patterson.

“He can skate well, he can shoot the puck well. He needs to slow the game down and learn how to make his skills work for other people as well as himself and utilize all areas of the ice and facets of the game — that’s coming.

“We’ve seen some signs of brilliance at this level and, pretty soon, it’ll be consistent.

“He won’t be here

by Christmas if the plan goes right.”

That, too, is the plan for Johnson, who said he’s ultimately trying to return to the BCHL this season. Seven of his points have come in the Storm’s last four games.

The club will be in action in Kamloops tonight, facing the Columbia Valley Rockies at 7 p.m.

The team will be on the road to face the Sicamous Eagles and the North Okanagan Knights tomorrow and Sunday.

Following the 2015-2016 campaign,

Johnson will play one more year of junior hockey before reporting to Colorado Springs and donning the Falcon blue and silver. So will begin the next chapter of his life, playing NCAA hockey, studying toward a degree and serving in the United States military.

Until his Air Force induction, though, Johnson is focused on helping the Storm continue flying through KIJHL opponents.

“The boys here and the atmosphere in the room is great,” he said.

“We’re just a closely knit team.

“We’ve had a lot of success lately and I think we’re going to keep moving on from here.”

Patterson expecting more from Storm Ed Patterson isn’t about to let his team get overconfident.

The Kamloops Storm head coach was putting his club through the paces at a spirited practice on Wednesday, hammering home his expectations as his players stretched at centre ice.

Through nine games this season, the Storm are good, but they aren’t perfect.

“Just disappointed with everyone’s focus and compete,” Patterson said when asked for the message.

“They’re reflecting on themselves by their record and not their commitment and their work ethic.

Unfortunately, it’s my job to rein them in when their heads get too big for their helmets.”

Patterson is known for demanding the most from his players. His practices are intense, his expectations are high. He loathes shortcuts and bad habits.

So, though his team is 7-1-0-1 and atop both the Doug Birks Division and the Okanagan Shuswap Conference, there’s still work to do.

“The disappointing part is, we blew the game in Chase — that’s our overtime loss — and then we lost to Revelstoke, who has five points,” Patterson said.

“So really, we should be 9-0 if we were that good

and our goals against would be down and our goals for would be up. The boys need to look at all areas of the game, not just the record.”

Despite the rap on the knuckles from their head coach, the Storm are off to another strong start in a young KIJHL season — especially so, considering the team turned over nearly its entire roster in the off-season. Only the Kimberley Dynamiters have more points than the Storm — 15 to Kamloops’ 14 — and the former’s roster is near-identical to the one that won it a KIJHL title in 2014-2015.

Kamloops also has three forwards in the league’s top 20 in scoring — Dante Raposo, Robb Johnson and Dario Piva all have 11 points — and one of the best goaltenders in the league in 17-year-old Tavin Grant.

The Storm will play three basement-dwelling teams this weekend in the Columbia Valley Rockies, Sicamous Eagles and North Okanagan Knights.

Consider it an opportunity for Patterson’s players to show their coach they heard the message, loud and clear.

“They get in a little bit of crap today, but they are a good group of kids,” Patterson said.

Braden Vankoughnett was one of three linebackers named to the team, along with Dexter Shea of the Vancouver Island Raiders and Brendan Desjardine of the Langley Rams.

Vankoughnett had 36 tackles, nine tackle assists, one-and-a-half sacks, two pass knockdowns, one forced fumble and one interception for a touchdown.

There were six Broncos named to the league’s all-star team on Wednesday — Quarterback Stephen Schuweiler, receivers Derek Yachison and Devin Csincsa, running back Jacob Palmarin and offensive linemen Cameron Brown and Derek Walde.

The Broncos will be in Kelowna for a playoff matchup against the Okanagan Sun on Oct. 18.

TRU signs top prospect The Thompson Rivers WolfPack might have a gem in women’s volleyball player Sarah Dobinson.

The six-foot left side from Ontario is considered one of the top high-school recruits in the country and this week she signed to play for head coach Chad Grimm and the WolfPack.

“I chose TRU because, even though it is across the country, I felt like it was home,” Dobinson said. “The coaches are amazing.

That really influenced my decision.”

Grimm has been pursuing the top prospect since last January.

“A friend of mine who coaches in the U.S. had been to a couple

of ID camps and sent me some information,” Grimm said.

“When we went to CIS [Canadian Interuniversity Sport] nationals in Toronto last spring, I met with her and her mom.”

Dobinson was a member of Team Ontario and finished second at the 2015 National Team Challenge Cup. “Sarah is a dynamic player,” Grimm said.

“She is physically strong. She is able to elevate and she has something that a lot of girls don’t have in terms of arm speed. She has a very fast arm.”

Dobinson will learn in her first year at TRU from CIS all-star Iuliia Pakhomenko.

country yesterday to take in the team’s first post-season game in 22 years.

And, according to dozens interviewed by The Canadian Press before the game, the Blue Jays will crush the Texas Rangers and won’t stop until they win the World Series.

To one of the clairvoyants, Glenn Smith, it’s been a long road back.

Smith and his friend, Norm Bassett, drove from Hay River, N.W.T. to Edmonton — a drive of more than 1,000 kilometres — before hopping on the red-eye to make it to Toronto a few hours before the opening pitch.

Smith, clad in a full Blue Jays uniform, was delirious. Delirious with joy, but mostly delirious because he hadn’t slept in more than two days, due to his commute.

“But we’re ready, ready for two games, then we gotta go back home and get some turkey in us,’’ Smith said, adding Tim Hortons iced cappuccinos are keeping him alive.

He said he was able to get playoff tickets because he bought season tickets for next year — allowing him the ability to buy playoff tickets before the public.

“We did, we got

,

fall in love.

those, got fifth-deck tickets, but thought that wasn’t good enough, so we upgraded to tickets in the lower bowl,’’ he said.

“We decided after 22 years, it’s worth it, we gotta spend the money.’’

Smith, who said he’s also a man of the people, figures he won’t actually buy season tickets next year, just give up his deposit.

“Logistical issues, you know,’’ he said, laughing.

Bassett said the Jays are going to sweep

the Rangers, take the American League in five games and win the World Series in six.

Many others outside the stadium agreed.

Angela Gleason and her husband, Michael, drove in from Barrie, Ont., hoping the Blue Jays replicate the result of the last playoff game they attended in 1993 when the team won the World Series.

Gleason said the game “means everything.’

“We finally have a great team to cheer for — not that the Leafs aren’t great, but here we have some promise.’’

Game 1

The Blue Jays and Rangers completed the first game of the best-of-five American League Division Series yesterday after KTW’s press deadline.

Game 2 gets underway at 9:45 a.m. today in Toronto.

CALGARY — Playing an unfamiliar position, Brandon Sutter complemented Vancouver Canucks linemates Henrik and Daniel Sedin nicely in a 5-1 win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.

Sutter has spent his seven-year NHL career at centre, but was shifted to the wing in Vancouver’s final pre-season game.

The 26-year-old, acquired in a trade from the Pittsburgh Penguins in July, scored a pretty goal and added an assist in the regular-season opener for both clubs at Scotiabank Saddledome.

Sutter batted a rebound out of the air past Karri Ramo with a deft touch at 18:01 of the first period to make it 2-0 for his new team.

“Never really scored one like that before, but I’ll take it,’’ Sutter said. “I’d say 99 times out of 100 you miss it, but I was fortunate enough to get a stick on it.”

Daniel Sedin had a goal and two assists with captain Henrik also collecting a goal for the visitors.

“Hank and Daniel are pretty smart guys, so we can read off each other and to be honest, it’s been a little easier than I expected in terms of the positioning of it,’’ Sutter said.

The Canucks dealt forward Nick Bonino, defenceman Adam Clendening and a draft pick to Pittsburgh in July to obtain Sutter, who is the son of former Calgary Flames head coach Brent Sutter.

Vancouver and Calgary will square off again tomorrow night in the Canucks’ home opener at Rogers Arena.

Game time is 7 p.m.

Messi situation TALES AZZONI

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADRID — Lionel Messi will stand trial in Spain on three counts of tax fraud and could be sentenced to nearly two years in prison if found guilty.

A Spanish judge yesterday rejected a request to clear the Barcelona player of wrongdoing and decided to charge him and his father, Jorge Horacio Messi, with tax fraud.

Prosecutors had said Messi — a four-time world player of the year — was not fully aware of his father’s unlawful activities and should not have been charged, but the state attorney’s office contended the Argentina forward knew enough to also be named in the case.

The attorney’s office called for a prison sentence of 22 months and 15 days for Messi and his father, along with a fine in the amount defrauded, payment of all legal proceedings and the loss of any possible tax benefits for a year and a half.

Prosecutors had called for an 18-month prison sentence for Messi’s father only, along with a fine of twomillion euros ($2.2 million).

A court had recently rejected an appeal filed by Messi’s lawyers to drop the Barcelona

player from the case.

Things seemed to be going Messi’s way after prosecutors this week announced their request to clear him of any irregularities, but the judge ruled yesterday there was enough evidence of crimes committed by both Messi and his father.

They are being accused of defrauding Spain’s tax office of 4.1-million euros ($4.6 million) in unpaid taxes from 2007-09.

Messi’s father made a payment of more than five million euros ($5.6 million) in August 2013 to cover unpaid taxes, plus interest.

A date for the trial has not yet been set.

The El Pais newspaper reported recently that Messi told authorities he would “sign anything with his eyes closed’’ if his father told him to do it.

The court in Gava, Barcelona, had said that, although Messi was unfamiliar with tax issues, there was sufficient evidence to believe the Barcelona playmaker could have known and consented to the creation of a fictitious corporate structure to avoid paying taxes on income from his image rights.

Authorities said some of the income came through companies located in tax havens.

KIM LIAN KLOP (née CHEUNG) October 19, 1931 – October 6, 2015

It is with insurmountable pain and sadness that we must announce the passing of Kim Lian Klop nee Cheung. Born October 19, 1931, Kim was a mom, a grandma, a sister and an aunt to many at home in Singapore. Kim is survived by her only daughter, Nancy, her son-in-law, Manny and her loving granddaughter, Monique and many relatives in Singapore.

My parents immigrated to Canada in 1955, my mom left her homeland to marry the man of her dreams, my Dad. My mom fought with a vengeance and did not believe in arranged marriages. She begged her mother to let her marry the man she loved. I suppose even in that time, my grandma would have been progressive in her thinking as that arranged marriage was never to be. Instead my parents married in Singapore and both worked at Heineken brewery, my dad the brewmaster, my mom his assistant.

As immigrants, it was difficult at best. My Dad was educated, however, that education did not apply here in Kamloops. He worked at a sawmill and they rented company housing. My mom came from a cosmopolitan city to a tiny community where horses were still tied to the post on main street. She endured the minus 30 temps, wind and snow whistling through their little house with a baby in tow being me.

Through the years my dad refused to stay in the life he had, he had a responsibility to his wife and child so he got his real estate licence. My mom was a stay at home mom, who would take the occasional job to make ends meet but her first priority was to be the best wife and mom she could ever be and she was.

My mom suffered a stroke in 1987 and continued to fight that with a vengeance as she suffered an aneurysm. She lost her husband in 1989 which was devastating for her. Mom became a part of our family unit and continued to live with us until we could no longer physically care for her. She lived out her days in Ponderosa and then for the past six years in Ridgeview Lodge.

My mom will always be remembered for her respectful ways, she was a non demanding person, always to be polite and quiet. Even as of the last year, my mom participated in floor hockey from a wheelchair, intent to win. She was always participating whether it be music, hockey, tai chi or social teas. It would surprise everyone my mom would be so competitive but not a surprise to me.

I remember growing up and thinking that despite my mom`s quiet nature, she had the will to fight when all was against her. And we all saw this in these last few days.

Mom will be remembered as the “woman about town” as she walked her granddaughter, Monique, in a stroller as a baby. It was the same route each and every day as she would smile or wave to people she knew downtown.

She would take her rest in Riverside Park sometimes to just look out and enjoy the view before continuing home.

My mom’s health woes over the years have been tragic, however, she will be remembered for her fight to retain her dignity to the end. It was her time and I had given mom the last of her choices if she chose to take them.

Our family is devastated by the loss of this beautiful passive woman who touched the lives of many. She was a loyal partner in her marriage to my dad, the best mom I could ever ask for and her relationship with Monique is a bond never ever to be broken even in death.

There will be a graveside service at Hillside Cemetery on Friday October 9th at 2:00 p.m. This is an open invite to anyone who would like to attend please feel free. In lieu of flowers, Kim was a huge believer of education and would like her granddaughter to be the recipient, if you wish. There will be a Celebration of Life for Kim at a later date.

We love you so much Mom and we miss you already......”What’s new pussycat, whoa whoa whoa” will be retired by our family.

We will remember you always and forever. May you now rest in peace, fly with angels and be with your husband, sister and mother once again. There will be no more suffering mama and we love you more than words could ever say.............

CRIMES OF THE WEEK

MUG SHOTS

BREAK & ENTER AT BUSINESS Early in the morning on Friday, October 2, an alarm was set off at Interior Craft on Tranquille Rd. The suspects fled down a back alley prior to the arrival of the police. The suspects forced open a basement door; once inside, the suspect tried to open a door that would have lead them into the main area of the business with all the store’s products. The business used good crime prevention techniques to prevent any thefts from occurring.

This is a busy street any time of the day or night and someone may have seen some suspicious activity in the area. The suspects did leave some interesting evidence that may be useful in helping to convict these suspects.

Now if you have any information or may have seen something suspicious, do the right thing and call Crime Stoppers, you will never have to give a statement or go to court.

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  QUINTEN LEVI VAN HORLICK March 15, 1975 October 1, 2015 “Teammate for Life” After a long and courageous battle with his addictions, Quinten chose on Thursday, October 1 to head out on his next road trip.

Born March 15, 1975 in Kamloops to John and Judy (Fisher) Van Horlick, Quinten’s personality traits of hard work and determination quickly became apparent .

The diagnosis of a rare form of leukemia at the age of 14 months, made it necessary for Quint to have extended stays at the BC Children’s Hospital. At age 6 (much to the surprise of his team of doctors) Quint was declared cancer free. This was a huge milestone for the entire family but especially Quint. He was able to start school and join all his favorite sports leagues.

Quint took his elementary schooling at 150 Mile House and Williams Lake, and his secondary schooling in Kamloops and Quesnel where he made many life-long friends. Throughout his school years, Quint was an avid and tenacious participant in many sports, including hockey, soccer, rugby, baseball, and crosscounty running.

His main passion, hockey, enabled him to plav, coach and travel throughout North America. It also afforded him the opportunity to play on junior and semi-pro teams with his favourite team-mate, his brother Matt.

Quint was able to give back and encourage the passion for hockey in many kids by developing his own hockey schools, as well as coaching and managing at hockey camps throughout North America. His love of running saw him participate in the very first Terry Fox Run and many more over the vears, including as recent as two weeks ago. In between, he attended numerous half and full marathons.

Giving his time for charitable causes was also very important to Quint, as evidenced by his cooking for the less fortunate and volunteering at various fund-raising events.

Left to cherish Quinten’s memory are his father John, mother Judy, brother Matt, half-sister Kaci, numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, extended family and far-reaching network of friends (All team-mates for life).

“Let us remember the smiling, the laughing. the taiking, the sharing, the caring and the loving.”

A tribute memorial to be held at the Kamloops Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour Street on Friday, October 9 at 3:30 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ouinten’s memory to the BC Children’s Hospital online at www.bcchf.ca/donate

MARY MARIA (PROSSER) BEGLEY Our mother, Mary, was born on September 18, 1920 to Charles and Ann Prosser of Newport, South Wales. Mom was the middle child of two sisters and a brother. Mom was a strong willed person who always called it as she saw it. As a child learning to ride a bike she fell and broke her arm. She needed screws to hold the bones together to give them time to heal. The next week after returning from the hospital, she was back on that bike and learned to ride with cast, screws and all. During the war, she was made floor supervisor in the munitions factory at the age of 22, unheard of in that day.

Mary met her husband to be, William Robert Begley, in a little park in London. After a few hours, Dad said he would be marrying Mary.

Her response, “No bloody way”. They were married two years later in August of 1945 in Newport. Dad was determined, too.

She made her way to Canada alone aboard a small ship with several other war brides. Left in Halifax, trucked to the train station and left to board and find her way to Vancouver, where she rejoined our Dad. Married life was hard as they had nothing. Mom always had a garden She learned to be frugal, a virtue she and Dad passed on to their daughters. Hard work, and thriftiness helped her and Dad to have a good life together.

They went on several cruises to Alaska, the Carribean and through the Panama Canal. The best cruise, she thought, was to the Mediterranean.

Mom loved travel and enjoyed her Hydro trips to Reno. When our Father passed on December 17, 2003, Mom stopped travelling for a time. Her last cruise was to Frisco and L.A. Of course, there was a stop over in Vegas. Our mother enjoyed games of chance. Mom often went to the casinos, where she never won a sausage, as she put it. She loved the stage shows and was particularly fond of The Lion King. Mom went on many short trips to places she and Dad had been to on vacation. She revisited Salmon Arm, Echo Beach, Loon Lake, Cache Creek, Vernon, Kelowna, and Adams Lake, to name a few.

After she broke her pelvis, she lived in L.C.U. at Berwick On The Park. Mom did not like it, she wanted her own place, being a very private person. The staff at Berwick were both kind and patient with Mom. They worked hard and took great care and understanding to make our mother’s final days as best as possible. She passed peacefully the morning of October 1, 2015.

(née Drummond)

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Mom Leah Wharton on October 4, 2015 after a lengthy illness. Leah was born in Port Alberni on December 18, 1935. She leaves behind her husband Cliff of 62 years, daughter Sherrie (Hans) Lind, son Gary (Valerie) Wharton, four grandchildren who Mom was so proud of Angela (Steven) Turner, Tim (Melanie) Lind, Kelsie (Mathew) Davis and Marlyse (Justin) Harrison. Mom delighted in the visits from her eight greatgrandchildren Emily, Jacob, Faith, Seth, Samuel, Clark, Flynn and Gwen. Leah is also survived by her brother Douglas Drummond, sister-in-law Joy (Bruce) Wisbey and five nieces and three nephews. She was predeceased by her sister Elizabeth Hannah and her parents Charles and Adeline Drummond.

Mom will be remembered for her love of gardening. She could be found in her garden when the sun came up. That was her happy place. Over the winter months she would be pouring over seed catalogues and preparing seeds for germination. Spring, summer and fall, she would be planting, tending and harvesting the bounty from her garden. Mom and Dad were vendors for over 15 years at various Farmers’ Markets in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Enderby, Armstrong and Vernon. Mom had many repeat customers that would seek her out for her jams, jellies, pickles, breads and especially her monster cookies! She enjoyed the people she met through the markets; many who became good friends.

Mom was such a cheerful, positive and caring person. Mom never complained or pitied herself even while battling 3 years of cancer treatments. She would always remind us that someone else was far worse off than she. She will be remembered for her courage, thoughtfulness and kindness to others. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House who provided excellent care and made Mom feel so special during her last days.

Upon Mom’s request there will be no funeral service.

Miyagishima, Makoto (Mak) Nov 3, 1923 - Aug 23, 2015 Mr. Makoto Miyagishima of Ashcroft, BC passed away peacefully of agerelated complications at the Nikkei Home in Burnaby.

He was 91 and was predeceased by his devoted wife Hisayo in 2005.

He leaves sons Edward (Calgary) and Dennis (Kamloops); Siblings: Etsuko Horiba, Kazuko Takei, Fumiko Watanabe, Akira Miyagishima (Japan) and Tadashi Imai (Los Angeles).

Mak was born in New Westminster, B.C. and was a long-time resident of Ashcroft. He was well known in the area for his beautiful, productive garden at the top of Tingley Street. During his career, he worked in the orchards of Vernon, sawmills in the area, railways with CP and then mining at Bethlehem Copper where he retired.

Throughout his life, gardening was his pleasure where the fruits of his labour were shared with the community. His longevity speaks to his generosity and active life which included his other favourite pastime, fishing...especially for salmon and steelhead at Spences Bridge.

The Miyagishimas extend their thanks to the staff in Ashcroft health care, the Nikkei Home in Burnaby, the Thompson Valley Funeral Home and to all of the friends who have assisted over the years.

The family would like to hold a memorial tea on Saturday Oct.17/15 from 1:00 – 3:00 pm at the Zion United Church hall. Koden and flowers gratefully declined.

WALTER JOSEF GAISER On October 6, 2015, a beautiful fall day just days before his 85th birthday, Walter died at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home overlooking the Kamloops hills and the Thompson Rivers that he loved.

Walter was born October 15, 1930 in Oberkirch, Germany the son of Josef and Franziska(Maier) Gaiser. He apprenticed with a Mercedes Benz dealer in Germany at the age of 14 and after completing his apprenticeship, in September 1949, he began a lifetime of working at a job he loved – that of automechanic. He immigrated to Canada with his brother, Werner, in August of 1951, and after his arrival in Winnipeg, he initially worked on a farm. Not finding that too much to his liking, he then went into the bush to work for the winter, earning money that helped his brother Werner bring his family over to Canada.

After some unforgettable experiences in the bush he moved, in 1952, to Humboldt, Saskatchewan where he boarded with the Pape family. His mother and step father, Alex Wormsbecker later immigrated and he helped support them on his wages of 90¢ an hour.

Moving to Kamloops to work in the fall of 1955, he found a job with Wilson Motors in North Kamloops and then returned to Humboldt in December to marry his sweetheart, Lena Pape, and bring her back to Kamloops to live.

He was a well-respected member of the Kamloops business community for many years, owning Star Motors in North Kamloops and Valleyview and then Gaiser Services in North Kamloops. He is still remembered by many people in town as “Mr. Mercedes”. He had the ability and the patience to fix anything - he could fix what no one else could! His talents have been a definite asset to the Red Cross equipment loan service since 2003.

In his younger days, he was an active soccer player and downhill skier. He loved to fly, owning his own plane for a number of years, and belonging to the Kamloops Flying Club where he served in a variety of positions. He began playing golf in the 1960’s and from then on to the present was an avid golfer belonging to the Kamloops Golf and Country Club until 2013. Since his marriage to Gill in 1996 he also participated in many activities that brought him much enjoyment – dancing, hiking, cross-country skiing, canoeing and biking. As one of the founding members of the “Walkie-Talkies” in 2001 he enjoyed the wonderful camaraderie of the group and participating in as many of their activities as he was able.

Walter was predeceased by his first wife Lena, his brother Werner and sister Christa. He is survived by his wife Gillian, daughter Caroline Gaiser of Vancouver and stepsons Jonathon (Cheryl) McIntyre of Abbotsford (children Braedon (Emma), Bryce and Shanice) and Craig (Becky) McIntyre of Kamloops (children Dustin (Heather), Mathew, Emily and Sarah). Also left to mourn are his brothers Kurt (Marilynne) Wormsbecher and Alex (Judy) Wormsbecher and their families, all of Kamloops; brother-in-law Martin O’Brien of Vernon and sister-in-law Lotte Gaiser of Brandon, Manitoba as well as many other relatives in BC, Alberta, Manitoba and Germany and his very special “adopted sister” Marlene.

Many, many thanks to Dr. Bruce Newmarch for the exceptional care he gave to Walter and also to Dr. Ruth Farren and all the wonderful staff at the Hospice who cared so lovingly for him in his last days. In lieu of flowers donations to Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9 in memory of Walter would be greatly appreciated.

We will miss his gentle spirit and the twinkle in his eye. At his request there will be no service but one day soon we have been instructed to hold a celebration.

THE TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP (TPP) A Historic Opportunity for British Columbia OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE!

A RECORD YOU CAN TRUST.

RE-ELECT

Cathy

McLeod

Canadian Chamber of Commerce

This is an exciting moment for Canada… we’re looking at huge gains for Canadian farmers, food processors, and companies in forestry, mining, aerospace, financial services and information technology, among other industries.

British Columbia Chamber of Commerce

“The TPP represent a new type of agreement. From market access for goods, services/investments, financial services, government procurement, temporary entry and labour, the TPP will set the standard of a 21st century comprehensive agreement and will bring huge economic benefits across the B.C. economy.”

Jon Garson, Vice President of Policy Development and Government Relations, British Columbia Chamber of Commerce

Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC)

“The TPP can only help us further sharpen our edge and be more competitive in these emerging markets for the benefit of jobs and prosperity in Canada.” David Lindsay, the President and CEO of FPAC.

Canadian Vintners Association

“The proposed Agreement will offer immediate and tangible benefits to the Canadian wine industry, reducing costly tariffs on wine, providing greater protection for authentic Icewine, streamlining complex technical and administrative barriers and tackling other barriers to wine exports that unfairly limit access to markets. Without Canada’s inclusion in the TPP, the sole benefit of these negotiations would have gone to some of the world’s most ambitious wine exporting countries- Australia, Chile, New Zealand and the United States – leaving Canadian vintners significantly disadvantaged.”

Dan Paszkowski, President and CEO, Canadian Vintners Association

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA)

CCA President Dave Solverson called the agreement a game-changer for Canada’s beef industry -- and Canadian agriculture as a whole. “This is really fantastic news for Canada’s beef producers,” he said

Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance

“This is an historic moment for the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who are employed by Canada’s export-based agriculture and agri-food sector. Whether you are a farm family who depends on world markets, a processor, exporter, or live in a community supported by agriculture or food processing, improved access to TPP markets bodes well for a stable and prosperous future. We congratulate the Canadian government on concluding this critical agreement. Trade Minister Ed Fast, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Canada’s negotiators have worked tirelessly over the last three years since Canada joined the negotiations. We have seen first-hand the benefits of being at the table to shape this historic agreement.”

Brian Innes, President of the Canadian Agri-food Trade Alliance

Mining Association of Canada

“NAFTA, free trade agreements with Chile, Peru, Colombia, and other countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia have all helped to increase Canadian exports and investment, supporting jobs for Canadians here and abroad. TPP, representing such a massive trade block, including critical emerging markets, is a trading partnership Canada must not risk being left out of”.

Pierre Gratton, MAC’s President and CEO.

Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters

“TPP will give better access to a market of more than 800 million consumers to Canada’s small and medium sized companies, will benefit Canada’s manufacturing and exporting companies and the Canadian economy as a whole.”

CME president and CEO Jayson Myers.

FAITH

Thanksgiving lived out all year long

A

phrase from psychology — “hostile dependence” — describes a state that must depend on someone else, but is not appreciated.

That means being in a state of tension.

One may not like the person, the nature of their gifts or the fact of his dependence on them — but there’s no option.

Atheists feel the problem acutely in the spiritual realm.

While feeling pleased, they dislike their dependence and reject the Giver.

Many missionaries dislike fundraising for the same reason.

Though they appreciate the donation, they dislike their dependence on the donors to carry on their religious outreach.

The only alter-

ing.

We need to develop thanksgiving into a wholesome and active philosophy of living.

Defining thanksgiving

NARYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have

FAITH

native to hostile dependence, especially toward a loving benefactor, is grateful dependence.

It is the essence of thanksgiving.

Unfortunately, many believers in God try to walk the fine line between hostile dependence and grateful dependence, being convinced that non-hostility toward God is the same as gratitude.

Nothing could be more antithetical to the spirit of thanksgiv-

The general definition of thanksgiving” is “a conscious joyful emotion toward unearned blessing.”

Christian thanksgiving would extend that into “an awareness and expression of personal dependence on the ultimate Giver of all good things.”

Thanksgiving, then, would be intentional, not a default stance in Christian living.

A grateful person is aware of joyful emotion in receiving unearned favour.

The more unearned your gift is, the more thankful you are, It is expressed by:

Thanksfeeling

“A happy emo-

tion, a gladness to have what is given,” says one dictionary in describing thanksgiving.

You must experience a glad feeling of thanks to a giver.

A critical or complaining spirit would hardly accompany feelings of gratitude.

Remember the “thankful” Pharisee in the New Testament (Luke 18:11), who used the right verbal formula for having done the right thing?

His feelings of selfrighteous self-congratulation were not those of thanks at all.

There was pride rather than gladness in his heart for his abilities.

Thankssaying

Feelings of thanks are better expressed by saying and doing’ thanks.

The Old Testament Book of Psalms con-

tains many genres of thanksgiving.

“It is good to give thanks to the Lord,” opens Psalm 92.

It’s really by thankssaying that the Psalmist clarifies the virtue of public thanksgiving.

We say thanks to God in public because God is good, but also because thanksgiving in itself is good.

Thanksdoing

Gratitude not only identifies the donor as giver and generates the appropriate attitude, but also motivates actions that will please the giver.

There is grateful conduct toward the donor and the grateful use of the gift.

Conduct motivated by thanks is easier to execute than those motivated by rewards.

God uses both kinds of motivations in our obedience.

Since we are clearer about blessings already received, we can be better motivated by God’s grace than by future rewards to be obtained by our good works yet.

Thanksliving

Year-round, lifelong thanksgiving, then, is thanksliving.

“Let your lives overflow with thanksgiving for all he has done” (Colossians 2:7).

Thanksliving comprises thanksfeeling, thankssaying and thanksdoing 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Indeed, all eternity will resound with your thanksgiving as you understand the “of course” of all circumstances and experiences in your life and in all reality.

We have a choice between hostile or grateful dependence on God, our Creator,

Redeemer and Sustainer.

After Thanksgiving is not Christmas.

That’s a calendar view of existence.

After Thanksgiving comes . . .

Thanksgiving, And that precedes . . . Thanksgiving.

Let’s thank God for all we have by thanksgiving — and trust Him for all we need by thanksliving.

REVIEW SAYS CROWN DECISION IN REHTAEH PARSONS’ CASE WAS REASONABLE THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — A review into the handling of the Rehtaeh Parsons case by the RCMP and Nova Scotia’s Public Prosecution Service says it was reasonable of the Crown to conclude there was no realistic prospect that sexual assault charges would result in a conviction.

The provincial government ordered the review by Murray Segal, a former Ontario chief prosecutor, in August 2013, but it was delayed until legal proceedings involving two men charged with child pornography offences in the case concluded.

“Another Crown counsel could have reasonably chosen to prosecute the sexual assault component of the case, but it no doubt presented a unique challenge for the prosecution,’’ said the report, which was released yesterday.

“The police investigator understood that the decision whether to lay charges was still hers to make but, in light of the Crown prosecutor’s opinion, the decision not to lay charges of sexual assault was understandable.’’

The young woman’s family alleged she was

KEY RECOMMENDATIONS • Police officers investigating sexual assault allegations involving children should try to interview children with a Department of Community Services worker at the earliest opportunity.

• Crown prosecutors who handle sexual assault cases should receive more training about sexual violence and how to respond to those cases.

• There should be more Crown counsel available to prosecute Internet child exploitation cases and those Crown attorneys should receive increased training in this specialized area.

• The police should explore the creation of a cybercrime support unit with a broad mandate to be involved in any investigation that requires its expertise. sexually assaulted in November 2011 when she was 15 and bullied after a digital photo of the alleged assault was passed around her school.

Parsons was taken off life-support after attempting suicide in 2013.

Police said they looked into the allegations of sexual assault and an inappropriate photo, but concluded there weren’t enough grounds to lay charges after consulting with the prosecution service.

The child pornography charges were laid after Parsons died.

A 20-year-old man pleaded guilty last

November to distributing a sexually graphic image of Parsons.

Another 20-yearold man later pleaded guilty to making child pornography by taking a photo of the accused having sex with Parsons.

Both men were youths at the time of the offences and were charged under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, which means they cannot be identified.

Segal’s report also deals with the subsequent allegations of child pornography and says the police investigator was told by another Crown

prosecutor that those offences could not be prosecuted.

The investigator was told it was not possible to tell from the photo that the persons involved were under age.

“The Crown’s advice related to child pornography offences was incorrect,’’ the report says.

“It reflected a misunderstanding of the law as it relates to child pornography.’’

The report says the Internet Child Exploitation Unit reviewed the file and concluded child pornography charges could have been laid at the conclusion of the initial investigation.

In his report, Segal describes Parsons as a “vibrant and promising young woman’’ with a loving and supportive family.

He writes that Parsons was “devastated by the circulation of an intimate photograph taken without her consent and the bullying and cyberbullying that resulted from it.’’

The investigation into Parsons’ allegations of sexual assault took close to a year to conclude, the report says.

It was during that time that Parsons changed schools twice

“In the end, she did not receive the support and assistance a young person in crisis required,’’ the report says.

NATIONAL NEWS MISSED CHANCE TO OPPOSE PIPELINE: CAPP THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A lawyer representing Canada’s oil and natural gas industry says those groups that didn’t take part in an environmental review process lost the chance to have their voices heard on the Northern Gateway pipeline project.

Lewis Manning told a Federal Court of Appeal in Vancouver it’s a shame some organizations chose not to take part in the process. A group of 18 First Nations, environmental groups and a labour union launched the appeal aimed at overturning approval of Enbridge’s controversial $7-billion pipeline proposal.

Manning, a lawyer for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, told the court the joint review panel made “every conceivable effort’’ to accommodate participation and would have done its best to mitigate any concerns.

Northern Gateway would see a 1,177-kilometre pipeline carry diluted bitumen from Alberta’s oilsands to B.C.’s coastline for export overseas.

‘Image of Muslim women Actor Randy Quaid ordered released; . . . damaged by this’ THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The woman whose fight to wear a niqab during her Canadian citizenship ceremony has unexpectedly become a dominant election issue fears the raging debate has tarnished Canadians’ views of her fellow Muslims.

Zunera Ishaq said much of the discussion swirling around the issue in recent weeks has been based on misconceptions about Islam, the niqab and the women who

WOMAN AT HEART OF NIQAB ISSUE TALKS TO CANADIAN PRESS embrace both.

She attributed much of that misinformation to the Conservative government, accusing Prime Minister Stephen Harper of turning her personal choice into a national vote-getting strategy.

She fears the tactic may be working.

A spokesman for Harper did not immediately comment.

Ishaq said the Canadian public is not being well-informed.

“They are being misguided by the government on this particular issue,’’ she told The Canadian Press in an interview.

“They were of the view that Muslim women who are wearing the niqab objected to show their identity for security purposes, but that’s not the case.

“The image of Muslim women, and as a whole the Muslim community, has been damaged by this.’’

facing removal from Canada next week THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Actor Randy Quaid has been ordered released by the Immigration and Refugee Board but faces the looming prospect of being returned to the United States as early as next week.

Quaid appeared briefly before the board in Montreal yesterday for a detention review and was released in short order by board member Dianne Tordorf, who said there were no grounds to hold him.

Quaid has already been arrested once by CBSA officers in May and released on $10,000 bond and a host of conditions by the same board member.

“All the conditions have been respected, I find that the offer of release that I made in the past is completely valid today,’’ Tordorf ruled. “I’m releasing you right now because there’s no reason to detain you, there is no breach, there is nothing under the law that would permit me even to deprive you of your freedom.’’

The Canadian Border Service Agency’s (CBSA) Anthony Lashley told the hearing an impending departure date and the rejection of a pre-removal risk assessment application on Sept. 22 prompted the arrest on Tuesday, fearing he wouldn’t comply with an order to leave the country next Wednesday.

“This is the position of the agency: Mr. Quaid represents a flight-risk, we feel it’s an important one, we feel that the circumstances have changed enough to warrant his arrest,’’ Lashley said, before Tordorf immediately rule Quaid be released.

Sporting the same massive beard and shoulderlength grey hair, Quaid was silent during the hearing as his wife, Evi, sat in the audience. They both left the downtown Montreal office, declining comment.

His lawyer, Mark Gruszczynski, told the hearing Quaid’s arrest was “tantamount to a preventative detention.’’

The 65-year-old Quaid was informed this week he would be sent back to the United States, where he faces an outstanding warrant and pending criminal charges. Contacted yesterday, a CBSA spokeswoman did not say whether removal would proceed or provide any further explanations.

Quaid and his Canadian wife fled to Canada in 2010, saying they were the victims of persecution.

Quaid had sought to stay in Canada and said he was being hunted by “Hollywood star-whackers.’’

After arriving in 2010, the Quaids lived in Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa before moving to Montreal in January 2013.

Quaid’s bid for permanent residency was denied in December 2012 and he was arrested earlier this year after he stopped checking in with immigration officials. Quaid has said he’s willing to return to his native United States to deal with those legal cases and wouldn’t jeopardize the bond his father-in-law had put down in May to secure his release.

Santa Barbara senior deputy district attorney Lee Carter said Wednesday there is an active extradition order for Quaid on a felony vandalism case and prosecutors would be seeking his extradition if he’s returned to the United States. Carter said Quaid and his wife also face felony charges for failing to appear at a November 2010 court hearing while out on bail.

A friend of the couple, Janet Olmsted Cross, told reporters following the hearing the two are happy in Montreal living off residuals from Quaid’s film career. She’s confident there is an explanation for the charges they are facing and drove from New York to bring them back to the U.S. if they must leave.

Mother charged with killing newborn TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops mother has been charged with second-degree murder in connection to the 2011 death of her newborn son.

During a brief hearing in Kamloops provincial court yesterday, Courtney Fawn Saul was ordered to undergo an assessment to determine whether she was “disturbed”

at the time of her son’s death.

The Crown alleges Saul, now 23, killed her newborn baby, George Carlos Saul, shortly after his birth on Dec. 15, 2011.

“The allegation involves the death of an infant that was a few hours old at the time it was killed,” Crown prosecutor Will Burrows said in court.

“As a result, there’s a necessity in the Crown’s submission for an assessment.”

Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley ordered the assessment under a specific section of the Criminal Code that deals with “whether the balance of the mind of the accused was disturbed at the time of commission of the alleged offence, where the accused is a female person charged with an offence arising out of the death of her newly-born child.”

Saul, who is not in custody, is due back in court on Nov. 2.

The South Kamloops secondary student body took part in the school’s Terry Fox Run and Walk yesterday. The school has 74 fewer students than last year, but officials believe enrolment across the school district is beginning to stabilize.

OVER 100 DISPLAYS!

Karl deBruijn believes the region’s declining school enrolment may have finally stopped.

The superintendent for the Kamloops-Thompson school district said final figures submitted to the Ministry of Education show 13,982 students in the district, which is higher than what was forecast.

Administrators had predicted enrolment to drop by 386 students when classes resumed in September, but the decrease was just 51 students.

The statistics include distance, adult and continuing education.

Of the 13,982 students in the

district, 990 are in kindergarten and 1,255 are in Grade 12.

“We are still graduating more than are coming in,” deBruijn said, noting the average of students per grade is now about 1,000 districtwide, which gives him some comfort the system has stabilized to the reality families are having fewer children.

He attributed much of the unexpected influx of students in September to families moving to Kamloops, with anecdotal evidence they have been attracted to the city for its job opportunities and affordable housing.

There were some unexpected surprises at specific schools.

Arthur Hatton elementary in North Kamloops saw its enrolment rise by 36 students.

“That’s big,” deBruijn said. “It was at 242 last year and that’s a big increase for a small school that has been on the decline since amalgamation [the district closed some schools a few years ago due to declining enrolment].”

In Brocklehurst, Parkcrest elementary is up 20 students, but Kay Bingham elementary unexpectedly showed a decrease of 21 students.

At the secondary level, deBruijn said, Brock middle school went up 52 students and Valleyview secondary saw its population increase by 27. South Kamloops decreased by 74 students and NorKam went down 25 students.

The big concern for the district is in Clearwater, where the secondary school is now at 189 students, having lost 28, and in Barriere,

which saw the school population decrease by 17 at the secondary level, although there were 15 new elementary students.

Declining enrolment in rural schools creates its own problems, deBruijn said, because families are often loathe to see their children travel long distances to other schools.

He praised the teaching staff in the two locations for the innovative ways they’re ensuring basic courses like chemistry and physics are still provided through podcasts, video-conferencing and tutoring.

With classes now established, deBruijn said only two of the teachers laid off at the end of the last school term are not working.

Each had been offered job postings, but opted to not accept them.

Crown challenges assessment

Bad Breath

CLAIM THAT PSYCHIATRIST DISPLAYED CONFIRMATION BIAS CAM FORTEMS

Taylor also told the jury his last memory of the early morning of Dec. 5, 2012, was walking up Columbia Street and toward the Greyhound depot from Royal Inland Hospital with Fowler in the early morning hours.

He said he next remembers seeing her on the ground and checking her pulse.

She was dead.

The 24-year-old testified, while paranoid and high on crystal meth and heroin, he ran from a red car, changing his clothes en route in order to run faster.

Crown prosecutor Iain Currie accused Lessing of showing

A prosecutor has suggested to a psychiatric expert for the defence that she displayed bias in her assessment of Damien Taylor, who is on trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops for seconddegree murder.

Dr. Sunette Lessing, a forensic psychiatrist, testified yesterday under cross-examination.

She spent eight hours interviewing and testing Taylor, who is on trial for the Dec. 5, 2012, murder of his 16-year-old girlfriend, CJ Fowler.

Her body was found in the [web-extra] Guerin More from this trial at Creek kamloopsthisweek.com area of the city on that day.

trist she ignored other evidence that may have pointed to the fact Taylor was not psychotic that night, including video from the hospital and bus depot, details from medical staff at RIH who dealt with the couple and information from RCMP in Prince George who interviewed Taylor hours after his girlfriend was found dead.

Currie also noted Taylor covered blood on his socks with a bandana so it could not be seen, changed clothes before getting to the bus depot and lied to police about his whereabouts.

Currie said all are suggestions of rational behaviour.

“There’s no col-

lateral information, other than what Mr. Taylor told you, that Mr. Taylor was on the psychotic continuum,” Currie said, calling Taylor actions after Fowler’s death “markedly inconsistent with psychosis.”

But, Lessing insisted the drug use and lack of sleep described to her by Taylor suggests he may have been psychotic around the time Fowler was killed.

Lessing also told the jury Taylor has normal intelligence in many respects, but his short-term memory is on par with a senior showing signs of demential, perhaps from extensive crystalmeth use.

The trial is expected to continue today.

TRU theatre season off to strong start DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A

nother season of theatre at Thompson Rivers University has begun — and it’s opened with a powerhouse production.

Back to Beulah by W.O. Mitchell clearly has its roots in the same swirling landscape that led the iconic Canadian to write Who Has Seen the Wind. Beulah also looks to the meaning of life, death, freedom and justice, not within a small Prairie town, but in a halfway house populated by three women with mental-health issues.

And, like much of Mitchell’s work, the play finds humour in situations that really aren’t funny at all, but which still make us laugh.

It’s the story of a doctor who wants to believe in her patients, in their ability to leave Beulah, the mental institution where she works and they had been living. She sets them up in a basement apartment, a halfway house experiment she likens to a parable of hope.

It’s Christmas and she comes to check on them before leaving on a vacation with her married boyfriend — and that’s the catalyst that launches one of the women on a crusade fuelled by her religious indoctrination by her parents.

Harriet, played by Maddison Hartloff, is the force for the storm that follows as she and her roommates Betty (Jessica Buchanan) and Agnes (Selena Tobin) take the doctor (Morgan Benedict) hostage, force-feeding her the pills she has been making them take.

It’s a wordy script, one some might fumble

KTW

REVIEW at times, but Hartloff doesn’t fail in delivering Mitchell’s message. It falls to Buchanan and Tobin to bring some normalcy to the situation, albeit from the vantage point of their own neuroses, with Betty obviously the peacemaker and Agnes the rebel.

It’s from the interaction of the three, particularly as they try to hide the unconscious doctor when her boyfriend arrives to find her, that brings the humour into what is otherwise an emotional play.

Supporting the four women are Dan Moen as the handyman who, while fixing the furnace, alerts us early in the play that something is not right in the apartment; Joel Feenstra as the bewildered boyfriend, a doctor himself who is obviously skeptical of the halfway-house project; and Erik Hagar as a detective who makes a brief appearance, but who sets up a scene where we start to wonder about Harriet’s sanity.

Directed by Robin Nichol, this cast of theatrearts students was faced with a challenge early in the school year and it delivers.

Back to Beulah is at the Black Box Theatre in the Old Main Building on campus.

It opened last night and continues today and tomorrow, with three additional performances from Oct. 15 to Oct. 17.

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

Mistaken identities, affairs to lend laughs at Sagebrush Tess Degenstein, Kirk Smith and Krista Colosimo star in the Western Canada Theatre comedy, Don’t Dress For Dinner. It began yesterday and runs to Oct. 17 at Sagebrush Theatre.

est friends Bernard and Robert are back again — and Kirk Smith is delighted they have returned.

Smith portrays Robert in Western Canada Theatre’s production of Don’t Dress for Dinner, a role he also filled in 2013 when WCT presented Boeing Boeing.

Both are plays by Marc Camoletti and both focus on how Bernard uses Robert as he indulges in extra-marital affairs.

In 2013, Bernard was played

by Brett Christopher but, in this instalment of the ongoing friendship, Todd Thomson is the cad who takes advantage of his friend.

Smith, a Kamloops native and familiar face at Sagebrush Theatre and with Project X, said Don’t Dress for Dinner is “sort of a sequel” and, while the scripts may seem somewhat similar, they’re definitely different.

“There are a lot of mistaken identities,” he said, “and they all have a secret. At different times, some of it becomes known.”

Like Boeing Boeing, it’s a physically demanding play, but there’s

MARK BERGINA PHOTO

more dialogue in this one, Smith said.

The story can be explained simply as Bernard planning a romantic weekend with his mistress while his wife is out of town — but, then she comes back.

That belies the totality of the play, Smith said, and he’s confident the audience will be laughing from the first scene to the

end. That helps propel the cast, he said.

“You just feel the energy, people having a great time, all laughing together. That’s pretty special.”

The play is a co-production with Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque, Ont., and the Gateway Theatre in Richmond.

It’s already had a run in

Ontario, where it was praised in the media as a rollicking romp.

The five-week break from the last Ontario show presented a bit of a challenge for the recent Kamloops rehearsals, Smith said. Not much of an athlete as a youth, he had to do a lot of conditioning to handle the physicality and there have been a few mornings when he’s got up and “had to

2015 TITAN CREW CAB 4X4

wipe the cobwebs from my eyes and just get going.”

The cast helps, he said, having become a tight bond of friends who work hard and make it all seem effortless.

“It’s so fun when you have that great chemistry on stage, where you can trust each other.”

In addition to Thomson and Smith, Krista Colosimo is the lover, Tess Degenstein is the French cook, Alison Deon is the wife and Beau Dixon is George, the cook’s husband.

Colosimo, Degenstein and Deon were also in Boeing Boeing.

Thousand Islands artistic director Ashlie Corcoran is in charge of the play, with Jung-Hye Kim the set designer, Oz Weaver handling the lighting design, Doug Perry on sound design and Cindy Wiebe again creating the costumes.

The play continues to Oct. 17.

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

THANKFUL FOR ACTS HUMANITY

I

n flipping through the pages of KTW, it’s not hard to find bad news.

A murder trial has splashed across our pages this week, along with the memory of a tragic incident on Overlanders Bridge from years past.

It’s news and the reality is sometimes it’s sad, horrible and heart wrenching.

But, here’s a little reminder of the simple acts of kindness in our community that often go unnoticed, one I recently witnessed that made me forget about all of the other stuff.

I was preparing photos at a do-it-yourself kiosk at Walmart when I heard a baby crying.

It was sharp, highpitch bellowing coming from behind me and, to be honest, my first thought was, “Ugh, pipe it, kid!”

The screaming was on and off for a few minutes or so while I fumbled with cropping my pictures. It continued until I finished editing and printed them off.

JESSICA WALLACE Generation

GAP

It wasn’t until I turned around that I was able to hear beyond the crying and see what was happening.

A young woman was standing next to a baby stroller at the counter in the photo centre, organizing several grocery and baby items.

There were many products splayed everywhere in an area usually dedicated to simple photo-related transactions.

An employee was helping the woman, ringing up the items and telling her the total amount owed, while the woman simultaneously combed through

it all, eliminating items one at a time while watching the costs subtracted from the total on the screen.

She was embarrassed, apologizing while trying to lower the final tab by sifting through her musthaves and removing things she could do without.

The baby continued crying and the employee helped, taking the time — not rushing the woman — and saying things like, “We’ve all been there.”

She spent the better part of 10 minutes with her at the counter until the woman paid the bill and left with the baby.

When I walked up to the counter, the employee said she’d charge me for the 1-hour service — a cheaper photo rate — for waiting, which seemed silly when I’d been mulling over ways I should have helped.

I walked out of there with three photos for a steal, but was moved by the attention, generosity and compassion of the clerk.

I’m sure she wasn’t

i pledge...

required to serve the woman in her department. She could have sent her up to the front — where a screaming baby and an empty bank account would have put the woman on display in front of a larger audience — or, perhaps, rushed her through her line, unable to take the time to lower her tab as needed.

The employee took the time and showed compassion.

It wasn’t something you learn in any customer service-training manual — it was just a person doing what she could in her circumstances to help.

It was a small but significant act of humanity we should all be grateful for, especially on Thanksgiving.

Because, you never know when you’ll be the one in Walmart’s photo centre in need of a hand and trying to pay for groceries.

$102,000 raised for B.C. fire victims In the wake of raging wildfires, BC Liquor Stores’ customers and employees came together to help support Red Cross relief efforts for victims of the recent Rock Creek and Oliver wildfires to the tune of almost $102,000.

To help support South Okanagan community members forced from their homes and starting from nothing following the fires, customers made donations of $2 or $5 — or multiples thereof — at checkouts at 196 B.C. Liquor Store in B.C. The donations, collected from Aug. 18 to Sept. 6, helped provide assistance to victims of the fires to reunite family members, provide necessities such as blankets, food and water and assist victims with longerterm needs such as replacing equipment to return to work and helping with rent.

Inquire about breastfeeding policies LINDA BOYD

SPECIAL TO KTW

T

he thought of returning to work while continuing to breastfeed can feel overwhelming.

In the past, many moms felt it was easier to stop breastfeeding once back at work, but that’s starting to change.

Women are finding ways to combine breastfeeding and working with the support of their employer and child-care provider.

When I first went back to work after my babies were born, I

was fortunate to have a lunch break that gave me enough time to breastfeed at their nearby day care.

I appreciated the chance to reconnect with my baby in the middle of the day and it made it easier to return to work fulltime.

Here are a few suggestions to help you continue breastfeeding after returning to work.

• Don’t be afraid to discuss your needs with your employer.

Your workplace is required to support your breastfeeding under the Human Rights Code.

An employer can give you a more flexible schedule or extend

breaks to allow time to nurse, pump milk or visit and breastfeed your baby.

Your employer benefits by gaining a happier, more loyal and more productive employee.

As a bonus, your baby will likely be sick less often, which can mean fewer days missed at work.

• Choose a childcare provider that is supportive of breastfeeding.

Ask if they have a breastfeeding policy.

Let them know how important breastfeeding is to you and your baby and discuss your baby’s feeding routines.

Make sure they can

safely prepare and store your expressed breast milk.

Having these conversations before you start back to work will make the transition go more smoothly for you and your baby.

• Nearby child-care arrangements can make breastfeeding during work hours easier. Using an onsite day care or child care near the workplace is ideal for moms to maintain breastfeeding.

Some moms have been able to arrange for their child-care provider to bring their baby to them at work so they can breastfeed.

If breastfeeding during work hours isn’t easy to arrange,

you can express some breast milk.

Ask your friends or members of a local breastfeeding café for tips on pumping at work.

Your employer can help by providing a private office with a sink, an electrical outlet to pump milk and a place to store pumped milk.

Once your baby is closer to one year of age and your milk supply is well established, you may not need to pump at work.

no working smoke alarms.

Other fire safety tips for the home include: • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.

• Interconnect smoke alarms throughout the home. This way, when one sounds, they all do.

• Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.

• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they don’t respond properly.

• Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the smoke alarm and understands what to do when they hear it.

• If the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside. Go to your outside meeting place.

• Call the fire department from outside the home.

At the open house, enter the contest to have your home set up with interconnected smoke/CO alarms.

For more information on fire safety, go online to nfpa.org/safety-information or contact Kamloops Fire Rescue by phone at 250-372-5131 or by email at firesafety@kamloops.ca.

Breastfeeding is reassuring to your toddler and you’ll benefit from the relaxing hormones released when you nurse.

Open house at fire station Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) is hosting an open house tomorrow as part of Fire Prevention Week, the theme of which is “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep.”

The open house will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Fire Station 1, 1205 Summit Dr. The parking lot will be closed to vehicles and arrangements have been made with Sahali Mall for the public to park in its lot during the open house.

The day will feature fire-safety education, tours of the Fire Hall Museum and fire dispatch, demonstrations of fire apparatus and fire extinguishers and activities for the kids, including the inflatable Fire Safety House.

A barbecue will also take place, with all donations going to the BC Professional Fire Fighters Burn Fund. The 2016 Fire Fighter Calendar will also be available for purchase.

According to statistics, half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep.

Smoking materials are the leading cause of home fire deaths and three out of five fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms or

Your toddler may be content to drink expressed breast milk, whole cow milk or water in a cup while you’re at work and continue to breastfeed at home.

Health Canada and Interior Health recommend breastfeeding for two years and beyond.

Stopping breastfeeding because of work before you and baby are ready can add extra stress to an already challenging time.

Q: In light of recent roadwork in Kamloops, what does four red flashing traffic lights mean at an intersection? What about lights that aren’t yet turned on?

A: A flashing red light means come to a complete stop before driving through.

When there are four red flashing lights, treat the intersection like a four-way stop.

That means: the first vehicle to arrive and come to a stop goes through first; if two vehicles arrive at the same time, the one on the right goes first; and, if two vehicles are facing each other and have arrived at the same time, the one making a left turn yields to the one going straight through.

When the lights go out, also treat the intersection like a four-way stop.

Bedazzled by St. Petersburg’s monuments CHRIS MILLIKAN

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

C

ruising aboard HAL’s Eurodam familiarizes us with captivating Baltic ports.

Of them all, St Petersburg stands out.

There, ship’s excursions prove perfect for first time visitors like us.

With the need for costly visas eliminated and transportation simplified, two sightseeing days are filled to the max.

Local guide Tanya introduces her storied city.

Named for his patron saint, apostle Peter, Tsar Peter founded St. Petersburg in 1703.

This new capital provided crucial Baltic access and prospered, despite frigid winters. Nowadays, icebreakers keep the port open year round.

Our tour reveals a dizzying kaleidoscope of legendary city sights.

French-inspired architecture tags this city as “Paris of the East.”

An enormous equestrian statue memorializes Tsar Peter; nearby, Decembrists’ Square recalls an 1825 revolt.

Massive red granite columns support St. Isaac’s, a Russian Orthodox cathedral designed to accommodate 14,000 standing worshippers.

Driving through old neighbourhoods and on into the countryside, we reach World Heritage “Peterhof,” Tsar Peter’s summer palace.

Strolling alongside resplendent yellow, white trimmed buildings, we pause at a Russian

Orthodox Church topped with ornate golden domes.

“Starting as a small family residence, this royal complex eventually encompassed these auxiliary buildings, upper and lower parks, several palaces and even a forest,” Tanya explains.

Tsar Peter designed Peterhof’s first thirty rooms in 1714. Daughter Elizabeth and grandson’s wife, Catherine the Great, expanded his efforts.

Inside, the Tsar’s bedchamber and oak-paneled office seem surprisingly austere compared to nearby chambers.

The ballroom’s gilt carvings border tiers of towering windows.

Between, 16 circular paintings feature Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Virgil’s Aeneid. And painted among ceiling clouds, daughter Elizabeth “floats.”

Tanya smiles, “As you see, they loved the embellished Western European style . . . and today, Peterhof is often compared to Versailles.”

In adjacent Chesma Hall, twelve gigantic paintings celebrate Russia’s naval victory during the RussoTurkish war.

From the front terrace, we gaze over the Grand Cascade.

This magnificent creation incorporates sixty-four fountains, two hundred gilded statues, bas-reliefs and other ornamentation. Amid its central pond, Rastrelli’s golden Samson wrestles a lion.

A stroll along the lower gardens’ Marine Canal takes us to a pier on the Baltic.

Aboard a hydrofoil, we’re back in the city within thirty minutes.

The Peterhot Grand Cascade fountain is named fittingly, with gold sculptures spraying water into an ornate pond.

Swimmers bask along the beach where Tsar Peter first established his defense fortress against the Swedes.

Gold-spires soaring, Peter and Paul Cathedral entomb Russian royalty from Peter the Great to Alexander III. Disembarking along the Palace Embankment, we behold Catherine’s fabled Winter Palace.

Visiting Resurrection of Christ Church concludes this day. Onion domes sparkle with blue, yellow and green glazed decorative tiles, two in gold.

Inside, 7,500 square meters of glorious mosaics drench walls and ceilings with brilliant, almost overpowering colour.

Breathtaking motifs frame radiant biblical scenes and figures.

Shimmering in gold, silver and coloured enamels, Holy Gates enclose the

main altar.

“Assassinated here in 1881, Alexander II’s son established this memorial on the very spot of his murder; it became fondly known as ‘Church of Our Saviour of Spilled Blood’,” Tanya relates.

“Following our revolution, the church was ransacked and became a warehouse.

“Russian artisans took over 27 years to restore it to former glory.

“Using early pictures and lithographs, even the stolen Holy Gates were accurately re-created.”

Wondrous artworks fill our second day.

“One of the world’s oldest museums, The Hermitage houses’ three million pieces of art in the Winter Palace and four other buildings,” says guide Eva.

“We’ll just sample some of the most notable.”

A marble spectacle in itself, the 18th-century Jordan Staircase leads upward to a lavish second floor ballroom.

Following her husband’s death, Catherine the Great met eligible bachelors in the smaller Pavilion Hall.

There, the bedazzling Peacock Clock, a magnificent gift from one such suitor, still works.

Over a hundred grand halls and rooms exhibit 13th to 20th century European art.

Among many marble sculptures, we spot Voltaire, eyes a-twinkle. Catherine, we learn, commissioned Houdon to create this likeness of the French philosopher, her beloved friend and correspondent.

Another gallery encloses Tsar Peter’s original

Rembrandts, collected while studying shipbuilding in Holland.

Adjoining rooms contain Catherine’s extensive masterpiece collections by da Vinci, Raphael and Goya.

Paintings by Degas, Renoir, Monet, Cezanne, Gauguin and Matisse form the largest collection of French art outside France.

A docent welcomes us into the Golden Room, an exclusive vaulted gallery.

Pointing out exhibits of nomadic Scythian treasures, she recounts, “Uncovered during excavations and sometimes grave robbers, Tsars would purchase these fine gold artifacts.”

We marvel at the delicate workmanship of each exquisitely crafted piece.

Indeed, St. Petersburg’s dazzling monuments are a splendid legacy of imperial Russia in its heyday.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
