Patience crucial in welcoming refugees DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

It didn’t matter that the itinerary said Kamloops’ first Syrian refugee family would be arriving on Dec. 31.

A small group of people, many of them part of Refugees and Friends Together (RAFT) still waited as three planes arrived at Fulton Field on Thursday, Dec. 30 — the day they had all first been told the family of five would land in Kamloops.

The confusion came from two sources, said Martha Ashbaugh of RAFT. A phone call she received on Tuesday gave the flight number, the arrival time and the date of arrival as Dec. 30. A printed itinerary she received hours later in an email gave the same flight number, the same arrival time, but Dec. 31 as the day to head to the airport.

They went to the airport just in case, Ashbaugh said, noting the last thing anyone wanted to see was a family fleeing persecution and warfare come to their new home and have nobody to welcome them.

Lynda Fisher, another RAFT member, said “patience” is the key word throughout the entire process, from identifying a Syrian family to working through the bureaucracy to finally knowing they are headed to the Tournament Capital.

Live coverage of family’s arrival Thursday afternoon online at kamloopsthisweek.com RAFT is used to it. In the many years it has been sponsoring refugee families, miscommunication and misinformation has been prevalent.

“We’ve had this before, when someone didn’t show up,” Fisher said. “You just have to be patient.”

RAFT members are ready for this family to arrive. Yes, there are still a couple of door handles to be installed in the North Shore home awaiting them, but the house is ready.

It’s an affordable home, Ashbaugh said.

She’s not worried they’ll feel the quarters cramped, noting the experience RAFT has had with refugee families is they spend much of their first weeks and months “wanting to be near each other, right down to all sleeping in the same room” until they begin to adjust and feel comfortable.

There was plenty of scrambling in the last three days to make sure the house is ready, Ashbaugh said. While the donations have been plentiful, there are some items she’s still hoping will materialize.

She’d like a good-quality television and a laptop computer for each of the three families RAFT

KGHM Ajax to stick to wet tailings pond CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

KGHM-Ajax will not submit plans that include dry stack tailings and will instead rely on reducing water content, according to the Vancouver Sun. The information was detailed in Dec. 30 story, ahead of the company’s planned public release of its application expected early in the new year.

An engineering panel convened in the wake of the Mount Polley tailings disaster in 2014 recommended dry stack tailings be utilized as best practice to reduce the risk of collapse compared to conventional water storage.

In wake of that recommendation, KGHM Ajax stated publicly it would reconsider dry tailings storage — something contained in its

original plans, but later rejected due to cost and other considerations.

Contacted Wednesday, KGHM Ajax spokesman Robert Koopmans said an official would not be available to speak on the issue until Jan. 4.

According to the Sun story, Clyde Gillespie, the project’s development manager, said KGHM-Ajax has settled on a plan to reduce, but not eliminate, water in its tailings storage. It will increase the solid content in its tailings from the standard 32 per cent to 60 per cent.

In its most recent public plans, KGHM Ajax said it will locate its tailings storage facility at Goose Lake, north of the Ajax pit. It has purchased privately held land to do so.

Gillespie said the capacity would be 440-million tonnes — nearly five times the capacity of

is sponsoring. They’re not really luxuries, she said, as often a television is the only source of entertainment and critical in engaging lessons in English, something the families may need.

A laptop is also essential for the families to stay in touch with others within their family, their community and, if possible, their homeland, Ashbaugh said.

There’s also the educational component a computer can play, she said.

Originally, four families were destined for Kamloops, with one moving on to Clearwater.

One of the families RAFT was sponsoring subsequently found family in Toronto and opted to stay there.

The organization is hoping to connect with more refugee families who will come to Kamloops.

Whether they stay isn’t a big concern to Ashbaugh.

“Worry’s not the right word,” she said.

“If they reach a point where they can cope with getting themselves to Toronto or Vancouver, then they’ve learned a lot. That’s our job — to prepare them for life here.”

RAFT members were scheduled to be back at the airport on Thursday, waiting for the planes to come in, eager to say hello to new Kamloopsians.

And, if it turns out the information is wrong, they’ll be back the next day, Fisher said.

“It’s all about patience.”

Mount Polley’s tailings storage facility. Tailings would be stored behind a 120-metre high wall of rock and earth.

Kamloops Area Preservation Association spokesman John Schleiermacher said the plan ignores the tailings review panel recommendations.

“It’s wet tailings — wet tailings was at Mount Polley; wet tailings was at the Brazil mine dam that wiped out a town,” he said.

Schleiermacher said the proposed dam will loom over Jacko Lake and threaten the city of Kamloops downstream in the event of a collapse.

KGHM Ajax has rejected dry stack due to concerns about downstream dust, as well as questions whether dry-stack storage can handle the large scale of waste production from the mine, Gillespie said.

LOCAL NEWS A lone turkey vulture, much like this majestic turkey vulture that can be found at the B.C. Wildlife Park, was among the species spotted that surprised those involved in the annual Christmas bird count. Organizer Rick Howie said volunteers recorded 72 species with a population of more than 11,000 birds — what Howie calls a typical year.

Flying surprises in annual Christmas bird count CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A lone turkey vulture and more than 100 robins are a few of the surprises to greet volunteers in this year’s Christmas bird count.

The count, known as North America’s longest-running citizen science project, has been conducted in the Kamloops area for more than three decades.

Organizer Rick Howie said volunteers targeted areas including Tranquille, Valleyview, Juniper Ridge, Knutsford and Westsyde in an effort to enumerate birds and their species.

In total, volunteers tallied 72 species with a population of more than 11,000 birds — what Howie calls a typical year.

Surprises include large number of robins that ordinarily have migrated south by now, as well as a turkey vulture, which has rarely, if ever, been seen in the Thompson Valley in winter.

Both species would ordinarily have migrated to the southern United States or as far south as Central America.

Howie said some of the robins should survive the winter.

He’s unsure about the turkey vulture, which is not adapted for this climate and will have to compete with eagles, ravens and crows for carrion.

It was spotted in Knutsford.

Another unique find is an Anna’s hummingbird frequenting a feeder.

In contrast to the other birds

not expected to be found in Kamloops in December, the hummingbird is expanding its range northward.

It typical lives in Southern California and is described by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology as displaying “iridescent emerald feathers and sparkling rosepink throats . . . more like flying jewelry than birds.”

It is no larger than a pingpong ball and no heavier than a nickel.

The decline in pine trees in the valley due to mountain pine beetle was expected to result in fewer dependent bird species.

Howie said the bird count confirms that thesis, with a shrinking number of pygmy nuthatches, as well as Clark’s nutcracker.

Mounties seek help in finding teen Kamloops Mounties are asking for the public’s help in finding a teenaged girl who was reported missing more than two weeks ago.

Sydney Beckley is a 17-yearold white youth. She stands 5-foot-9 and weighs 185 pounds.

Five years ago, Mike O’Reilly couldn’t feel his feet and was losing sensation in his legs as his multiple sclerosis (MS) progressed.

A treatment then newly approved in the U.S. offered the possibility of some relief — $13,000 and a plane ticket later, O’Reilly was undergoing the controversial Liberation treatment in California.

The treatment, developed by Italian doctor Paolo Zamboni, was meant to increase blood flow to the brain and other parts to the body — Zamboni’s theory being that narrowing veins in the neck compromise blood flow to the brain, leading to symptoms of MS.

Not long after returning to Canada, O’Reilly declared the treatment a success, noting it allowed him to resume working out and running. So far, that hasn’t changed.

“I’m doing phenomenally well,” O’Reilly said during a break in the lunch rush at Cafe Motivo, which he purchased from its previous owners last summer. “It has worked for me — it doesn’t work for everybody — and I consider myself very lucky that it worked and it still seems to be working.”

For the most part, there aren’t any signs of his MS, but O’Reilly said he’s not completely symptom-free.

“I still notice I have it,” he said. “My balance, that’s the hardest part. The odd time,

Mike O’Reilly underwent Liberation treatment for his MS five years ago and has declared the procedure a success.

it’s not very often, but every once in a while, it looks like I’ve just started to teeter a bit and I’ll catch myself.”

It’s not clear how long-lasting the effects of the treatment are, due to the number of questions still surrounding Zamboni’s science.

A UBC study in 2013 showed narrowing neck veins are just as common in the general population as in people

with MS, calling into question some of the original theory behind the treatment.

Research into the treatment has continued, however.

Since his trip to the Golden State, O’Reilly has stayed in the news for other reasons.

Last year, he rappelled down the Plainsman Building downtown to raise money for the MS Society and followed

that with an unsuccessful run for Kamloops city council.

While O’Reilly didn’t gain a seat in chambers, running a coffee shop just a few blocks from city hall has allowed him to get a taste of the experience.

“I get to hear a lot of people’s opinions and views on things all day long,” O’Reilly said.

“Everyone’s got their own ideas about things.”

Still watching political scene LEN MARCHAND THINKS WE ARE IN FOR A ‘REALLY GOOD TIME’ DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

D

onna Parr and Len Marchand went to a square dance on their first date — but didn’t spend too much time do-sido-ing at Knutsford Hall.

The caller didn’t show up and Marchand, who had been calling dances for years on the Vernon reserve where he grew up, stepped in to fill the gap.

Parr, who had learned to square dance back home in North Bay, Ont., handled the situation the best way she could.

“I just danced with other people,” she says with a laugh.

A public-health nurse, Parr had come west “looking for some adventure and I found Len.” The adventure LEN MARCHAND had just begun.

Marchand’s life can be summed up by the word “first”.

He was the first status Indian to graduate from a public high school in Vernon — although he also attended residential schools in 1949 and 1950.

It was while in school Marchand first discovered a love of agriculture.

When he enrolled at the University of British Columbia, he was one of the first aboriginal students there.

He was the first status Indian elected to Parliament and given cabinet posts.

He missed out on a Senate-appointment first in 1984 — James Gladstone claimed that honour when then-prime minister

John Diefenbaker appointed him to the Red Chamber in 1958, And, over his wife’s protests during a chat with KTW, Marchand shares another first — he voted in an election two years before First Nations were finally given that right in 1960.

“I was in my last year at UBC, living in a boarding house run by the ex-wife of [Haida artist] Bill Reid,” he says. “She was keen on doing the right thing, getting people involved, so she signed me up to vote and I voted.”

Marchand laughs as Parr chides him for revealing this fact — and joins him as he chuckles to her assertion “you could still be arrested for it.”

That was the same year the Liberal party elected Lester Pearson as leader, a man Marchand points to as inspirational for him with his “big message of peace in the world.”

Marchand’s love of learning saw him graduate in 1964 with a master’s degree in forestry and he started work at the Kamloops Research Centre. He was active on another front, he says, pushing to get his people the right to vote. That passion led to jobs working for cabinet ministers Jack Nicholson and Arthur Laing.

By 1968, however, Marchand was thinking about coming home and putting his energy into other areas.

A telegram from Sandy McCurrach changed those plans.

“He told me to come back and be our candidate,” Marchand says. “I talked to Donna and the kids — Lori was in kindergarten and Len hadn’t started school yet — and we decided there was no shame in losing to a guy like Davie Fulton.”

Fulton was the longtime Progressive Conservative MP for Kamloops.

“So I came back and we won,” Marchand says, something he credits to his strong connections with the agricultural community in the area — and visits Pierre Elliott Trudeau made on Len’s behalf during the campaign.

By 1976, Marchand was in cabinet as minister of state for small business — and handed the task of bringing the metric system to Canada.

“I was really getting a lot of heat about metric,” Marchand says. “So, I said to Pierre, ‘Give me the word and I can dismantle it.’

But, he said, ‘We are a trading nation and one of the last great nations in the world not going metric’.”

At one time, Marchand says, he had a letter from then-U.S. president Jimmy Carter confirming that country would also go metric.

In the 1979 election, Progressive Conservative candidate Don Cameron defeated Marchand, something he attributes to Canadians being tired of Trudeau — and his own positions on gun control and capital punishment.

Since then, Marchand has been content living in Kamloops and watching the political scene.

He calls the recent federal election “wonderful, a bit of a surprise.

“Nobody saw it coming,” Marchand says of the man he knew as a child being elected prime minister.

In these early days, Marchand doesn’t see much of Pierre in the actions being taken by Justin Trudeau.

“As my doctor told me once, we’re all different.”

He is hopeful Justin Trudeau will do a good job and is delighted to see two aboriginal people appointed to cabinet.

“I think we’re in for a really good time,” Marchand says.

NATIONAL NEWS

Small quake shakes Island THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Some thought a car had rammed their home.

Others thought it was someone pounding on the door or the neighbours moving furniture.

It wasn’t until the shaking stopped several seconds later that it became obvious British Columbia’s south coast had been hit by an earthquake.

It struck at 11:39 p.m.

Tuesday, about 20 kilometres north of Victoria, and was felt across much of southern B.C. There was no reported damage or injuries and it did not spawn a tsunami.

Natural Resources Canada said the quake measured 4.3 on the Richter scale, while the U.S. Geological Survey placed the magnitude at 4.8. — levels the Canadian agency said would not be expected to cause problems.

The City of Vancouver confirmed no known reports of damage and BC Hydro reported the quake had no impact on its electrical transmission and

distribution systems.

Two of Metro Vancouver’s elevated rapid transit lines were shut down briefly while the guideways were checked, but TransLink said the system was back in operation within 90 minutes.

Geophysicist John Cassidy with the Sidney-based Geological Survey of Canada noted the quake was between 50 and 60 kilometres below the southeast coast of Vancouver Island.

“Even people who live very close to the epicentre of the earthquake will be 50 or 60 kilometres away from where the shaking originated,” he said.

“So, that makes the shaking not as strong as if it had been right up at the surface or very close to the surface. These deep earthquakes tend to have very few or, most often, no aftershocks.’’

Still, people took to social media in the aftermath to share their experience.

While some tweeted that it felt like their whole house shook,

others said they thought someone was just shaking their sofa.

One person poked a little fun at the situation, posting a picture of a single, toppled plastic chair over the words “we will rebuild.’’

Cassidy said scientists would be more certain of the estimated magnitude once they analyze the quake’s wave forms and data.

“It was felt by thousands of people across British Columbia to distances of about 200 kilometres,’’ he said.

“It’s the largest in the area since back in 2001 and that was a 6.8 earthquake near Seattle and Tacoma. So, it was the same type of earthquake that hit Seattle, but it was about 100 times smaller.’’

This quake followed another, unrelated quake several hours earlier near San Bernadino, Calif., that measured 4.4.

The USGS said aftershocks of magnitude 3.8 and 3.2 came minutes later and dozens of tiny aftershocks followed in California over the next few hours.

Telus agrees to $7.3M in rebates for misleading ads THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Telus has become the second Canadian telecommunications company to reach an agreement with the Competition Bureau over its participation in misleading premium textmessage services.

The federal agency said Wednesday that Telus will give rebates of up to $7.34 million to some of its existing and former wireless customers over false or misleading representations in advertisements.

The move comes after the Competition Bureau launched an inquiry in 2012 over certain thirdparty services that the country’s biggest wireless carriers billed its wireless users without their permission.

The advertisements, through banners online or on mobile phones, invited customers to provide their phone number. In exchange, they would receive texts containing their horoscopes, trivia questions and new ring tones.

What they really signed up for were subscrip-

tion texting services that charged a service fee for each message.

Telus acted as a billing agent in the process for Jesta and MMS, which charged fees for a variety of themed texts, such as Mind Quiz, Love Crush and Joke a Day. Under the agreement announced Wednesday, current customers will automatically receive a rebate on their next bill, while eligible former customers will be notified by Telus with details on how to make a claim within 120 days, the bureau said.

Telus customers can receive a $10 credit if they used the Jesta text services from Jan. 1, 2011, to Aug. 15, 2013, and a $5 credit if they signed up for MMS texts between Jan 1, 2011, and Feb. 15, 2013.

A similar agreement was reached with Rogers Communications earlier this year, though legal proceedings are still outstanding against Bell and the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association.

Telus has also agreed to donate $250,000 for research on consumer issues.

Cause of orca death unknown VANCOUVER — A female orca calf has been found dead on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

Paul Cottrell of Fisheries and Oceans Canada said a surfer spotted the dead whale washed up on Mussel Beach near Ucluelet on Dec. 23.

He said the 400-pound carcass was transferred to Abbotsford, where a necropsy was conducted on Christmas Day. Scientists are still awaiting results of tissue-sample testing and a cause of death is not yet known.

“It was just a tremendous effort by everyone involved, at a time when normally you’re with your family,’’ said Cottrell. “Everybody came together

and made sure we got this animal looked at as quickly as possible.’’

Cottrell said DNA tests are expected to show whether the whale was part of the endangered southern resident population, which had a baby boom of eight calves born this year.

Scientists have requested a rush on the tissue testing but it could take up to six months for all the samples to return.

Cottrell said it’s believed the calf was about two months old. Killer whale calves have a 50-per-cent mortality rate in the first year of life, he added.

VIEWPOINT

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

Kamloops This Week is owned by Thompson River Publications Partnership Limited

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 giving spirit in the Tournament Capital. From donations to the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund to money dropped into Salvation Army kettles to residents chipping in to help welcome Syrian refugees, the generosity of Kamloopsians is impressive.

As Winston Churchill noted those many years ago: “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”

NOT: The pre- and post-Christmas cretins who are making The Grinch look like Mother Teresa.

Kamloops has been plagued in the past week or two by all manner of thieves who have made the lives of many miserable.

We have had vehicle break-in sprees in Westsyde, Brocklehurst and Sahali.

We have had a robber scare a Walmart clerk silly before frightening a shopper in Aberdeen by stealing her purse at gunpoint.

We have had the security systems of an entire apartment block compromised via attempted entry.

Some of these thieves have been collared by police; most are still out there, victimizing your neighbours.

Keep an eye out and call Mounties if you see anything suspicious.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: The need to prepare for an emergency following this week’s small earthquake that shook many homes in the Lower Mainland.

It is estimated a mere 20 per cent of British Columbians have assembled an emergency kit that will help them in the event of a disaster — be it a quake on the Coast or a wildfire in the Interior.

Do yourselves a favour and create a kit.

Behold! The future is now

I

t has again fallen upon my shoulders to prepare you, dear reader, for what to expect in the world of city politics as 2016 makes its grand entrance: • City council introduces a rain-barrel program so residents can collect water from the sky to use for outdoor activities, such as washing cars and watering gardens.

City council lauds this free water program as being an ideal way for residents to be environmental stewards to Mother Earth, rely far less on city water and, thereby, save big on water bills.

By the fall, the program is so successful that the amount of water being pumped to homes by the city drops by half.

Understandably, city hall raises water rates by 75 per cent.

• The national and international Communities in Bloom organizations ask the City of Kamloops to return four blooms, due to the success of the city’s cosmetic-pesticide ban.

Communities in Bloom allows Kamloops to keep a fifth bloom, since it kind of looks like many of the weeds sprouting across the city.

• In February, city council changes its collective mind yet again on the issue of liquor licences, with Pat Wallace reversing the stand she previously reversed and hereby vowing to do away with the

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS one-kilometre rule as it applies to new licences in relation to existing pubs and liquor stores.

Wallace explains the entire flip-flopping process was enough to make her want a drink.

But, since she was just shy of a kilometre from the nearest pub, and since it was cold outside, she realized having a drink in Kamloops is sometimes just too damn difficult an endeavour.

• A number of odd tweets are sent from the Twitter account of Donovan Cavers in the wee hours of a hot August morning.

Cryptic references to “porkbarrelling,” “privileged swine” and “everyone’s in the trough” lead to various FOI requests as a scandal appears to be brewing at city hall.

It is eventually revealed Cavers was sleep-tweeting after a marathon day at Ribfest.

• The City of Kamloops is ordered to rename the Marigold Mile on Columbia

Street after professional arbourist Pierre Filisetti files a lawsuit, seeking damages for misrepresentation of the vertical flowerbed.

“It’s not even a kilometre long,” Filisetti says, adding the trees, flowers and grass chosen for the less-than-a-mile-long nature feature are all wrong for the location and climate.

• In December, after almost a year of silence on the fate of the former Kamloops Daily News building, Denis Walsh attempts to play it safe by bringing his own table into council chambers, on which he places a motion calling for the building to be saved from demolition.

Unbeknownst to Walsh and everyone else at council, an obscure section of Robert’s Rules of Order means his motion — and table — are seized for a year.

• The ongoing battle between the city and CP Rail continues, with Arjun Singh’s motion to hire Snidely Whiplash to stop the trains from crossing into downtown by tying various damsels in distress to the tracks.

Singh’s motion fails when Ken Christian casts the deciding opposing vote, pointing out Snidely Whiplash is a cartoon character — to which critics of council note he would fit right in down at city hall.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THANKS, KAMLOOPS, FOR THE HELP MAKE REFUGEES CHRISTMASTIME SUPPORT FEEL AT HOME Editor: Syrian refugees are beginning to make Kamloops their new home.

So, in this post-Christmas season and, as we celebrate the arrival of a new year, let us give the gift of being welcoming.

Talk with your loved ones about the importance of trust and inclusiveness in building community.

Most importantly, step out of your comfort zone and seek out your new neighbours when they arrive and welcome them as your fellow citizens.

Together we can maximize the benefits that this new migration can bring to Kamloops while doing what is right and good for humanity.

Lynda Fisher Refugees and Friends Together Kamloops Editor’s note: Refugees and Friends Together is a Kamloops-based organization formed to help sponsor Syrian refugees and bring them to the Tournament Capital. The group’s first refugees are expected to arrive in Kamloops on Thursday.

Editor: Once again, for the eighth year in a row, I have played holiday music on guitar for you my friends and neighbors at Brock Plaza.

I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated money, food and presents to me throughout the holiday season.

Over 100 dollars in change

was donated to Coopers Children’s hospital charity.

Thank you as well to my KTW customers who gave me several cards, tips and cookies.

And a big thank you to all the safe drivers who gave me room on Tranquille Road for my bike.

The gas tanker drivers were awesome. I love Kamloops and all the generosity you shared

HELP SAVE THE TRAIL

WORLD PEACE

THROW BALLOONS, NOT BRICKS Editor: In Canada, every person is entitled to their own belief in a God of their understanding, or not.

In the world as a whole, there is spiritual bias going on.

No disrespect, but this bias needs to go. It’s not worth the conflicts, nor the wars.

The sooner the better.

How about one simply believes what they wish to and respect that others have an equal right to do so, like-wise?

Simple enough.

This would be the end to most religious wars, going on.

How about throwing balloons, and not bricks. What a painless idea.

with the Salvation Army kettle drive.

You make volunteering a very special thing to do over the Christmas season.

All in all I can’t thank you enough for all your kind support and well wishes.

See you around Brock.

It’s called showing respect.

This world would be a much calmer place with the spiritual bias being removed.

Les Evens Kamloops

Editor: Do we have to abandon the portion of the Rivers Trail under the Yellowhead Bridge or can it be repaired for a minimum cost?

The washed-out area that was causing the erosion of the Rivers Trail has been repaired.

With a few Gabion baskets, the trail could be restored at a minimum cost to the taxpayer.

The original cost of this portion of the trail would not be lost in the abandonment and still could be used by myself and many others who use this trail almost daily.

This would be less than abandonment costs.

“When I call 911, I’m asked one question by the call center, then I am transferred to the correct service.

“That being said, in B.C. we have enhanced 911, so there is no reason why these morons could not be treated to a visit from the police, and issued a big fine for their idiotic behavior.

“That is the biggest reason why these people continue to tie up 911 with stupid calls . . . there is no consequence.”

Kamloops This Week publisher Kelly Hall is is in Helsinki taking in the World Junior Hockey Championship.

Canada is attempting to repeat as champion, but has thus far had a difficult preliminary round, losing to the United Stated, handily defeated Denmark and squeaking by Switzerland in a shootout.

Canada concludes the preliminary round on Thursday against Sweden, after which the team will find out which country it will face in the playoff round.

While in Finland, Hall has been blogging online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

The ongoing series, From Kamloops to Helsinki, has Hall commenting on hockey and non-hockey topics.

He is filing observations on the games, the atmosphere inside the rink and the sights and sounds and tastes — herring, anyone? — of Helsinki.

His latest entry detailed a visit to one of the 2.2-million saunas in the Scandanavian country of 5.4-million people.

DOREEN STEWART August 21, 1930 – December 20, 2015 With great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Mother-in-law, Grandmother, and friend after several years with pulmonary fibrosis. Doreen is survived by her children Fran (George Campbell), George Stewart (Lori Ottem) and Keith Stewart; her daughter in-law Nancy Stewart; and grandchildren Andrew and Giorsa Campbell, Allison and Lindsay Stewart, and Frank, George and Wilson Stewart. She also leaves behind her sister Jackie Shepherd (George) as well as sisters-in-law Mary Thomas, Pat Pyevach (Nick), Jean Stewart, Betty Stewart, Velma Stewart, Iris Stewart and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by the love of her life, husband Frank Stewart in 1996 and by her son David Stewart in 2010.

Doreen was born in Saskatchewan and moved to Kamloops with her family when she was a young girl. She graduated high school in Kamloops and worked as a medical stenographer at the Tranquille Tuberculosis Sanitarium. She and Frank married in 1950 and Doreen left the work force in 1954 to raise her four children. Doreen was the consummate “Mom”. She was actively involved in all aspects of her children’s lives from school to extra-curricular activities. She ensured that her children had the opportunity to participate in all of the things that interested them (piano lessons, dancing lessons, skating lessons, gymnastics, swimming lessons and the swim club). Mom often served on parent advisory boards for many of these activities.

She was incredibly proud of her children’s achievements. Doreen and Frank enjoyed camping and fishing with the family and enjoyed several years camping on their lot at the Okanagan lake in the family trailer. Extended family was also important to her and the family spent many happy times visiting with Frank’s nine brothers and sisters and their children, and her five brothers and sisters and their families. Remaining in the home they built on Pleasant Street, neighbours also became extended family.

In later years, Doreen was an important influence for her grandchildren whom she adored and encouraged. Doreen’s caring and outgoing personality made her a friend to so many.

Doreen returned to the workforce in 1969, working as a stenographer for the Kamloops School District. She made many lifelong friends during this period of her life, and is fondly remembered by many of those who worked at Kam Hi where she retired after 20 years. She was known for her intelligence, her wit and her work ethic, but certainly enjoyed a good party as well! In retirement, she and Frank enjoyed travelling and visited Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. They also enjoyed some epic adventures in the 5th wheel with friends and neighbours, including a trip to Alaska. After Frank’s passing, Doreen had a few more travel adventures including a trip to Newfoundland and Labrador with friends the Agassiz, and a trip to New Zealand to visit nephew Russell and his wife Nikki.

Doreen remained in her own home until the last few weeks of her life when she was hospitalized with complications from her illness. Heartfelt thanks go out to Dr. Miranda DuPreez who took such good care of Mom and her family up to and including her last day. Thanks go as well to the warm and supportive staff at the Ponderosa Pathways to Home Program who took such good care of all of us.

At Doreen’s request there will be no service. A Celebration of Life for friends and family will be held at a later date. Doreen will be interred with Frank at the Pleasant Street Cemetery. She will be forever in our hearts.

Her Journey’s Just Begun

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q: I was Dad’s favourite, and want some of his ashes in a little keepsake urn. Can I demand them? My brother is executor.

A: No, not unless your Dad agreed to your wish in writing -- in his will, for example.

Sorry, Bro’s in charge.

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun.

Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years.

Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away.

And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

ALFRED GLASSEL Alfred T. Glassel peacefully passed away on December 22, 2015 at the ripe old age of 93. Alfred Glassel was born on the family farm near Unity, Saskatchewan on June 22nd, 1922. He spent the first 12 years of his life helping his Father Thore, Mother Edith (Knowles), Sister Ellen (Kay) and Brother Dave, working that farm.

He left home at 12 to make his own way in the world and worked for various neighbors in the area until he volunteered for the Army in 1938 prior to WWII, joining the 2nd Royal Canadian Field Engineers, 2nd Division where he received his training as a Sapper, and became the Regiment Mechanic.

He was part of the Invasion on D-Day and came home after fighting through France, Holland and Germany, and was released in November 1945 as a Lance Corporal. He was awarded the following medals for his service: 19391945 Star, France–Germany Star, Canadian Volunteer Service Medal and Clasp, The Defense Medal and the War Medal. He was honored by the Government of Canada for his contribution, The Netherlands issued him a Medal of Remembrance for the Liberation of Holland, and the French Government made him a Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour, Frances Highest Order.

Upon his discharge from the Army in November 1945 with his Motor Mechanic training he traveled around working various jobs until he wound up running a garage in Ponoka, Alberta, where he met and married Leota Fern Lynn and they moved to Calgary Alberta where he sold Snap-on Tools for a time before starting his own tool company, and raised his four sons. Al was one of those Dads that always made the time to drive his kids around, whether it was a Hockey game or Scout camping trip, he could be counted on.

Retiring in 1980, Al and Fern moved to the North Shuswap and spent the next 25 years active in the local Community there. In 2005 they retired again and moved into Kamloops.

Al was predeceased by his loving wife of 63 years Fern, who passed in September 2014. He is survived by his four sons Barrie, Edward (Kathy), Garth and Stewart (Karen), four granddaughters and four great-grandchildren.

The Family wishes to thank the Care Workers of High Country Health for their care and support over the last year.

FAITH

Can the church still trust the Bible?

A

t the beginning of December, Michael Fenemore wrote a column in which he argued members of many churches in Kamloops must either renounce their belief in the findings of modern science — specifically, a belief that the earth is a sphere, and accept the ancient cosmology from which the Biblical authors wrote — or rework their understanding of the Bible.

I am grateful that Fenemore raises this important question, but I think he oversimplifies the issue of how Christians understand inerrancy and does not seem to allow that there are a variety of ways that the church understands the authority of the Bible.

The big question is: Can the church still trust the Bible?

My answer is yes. Here’s why: Christians believe God is love, which means God is relational and wants us to know him.

DAVID FIELDS

You gotta have

FAITH

God reveals himself through words (see Hebrews 1:1-3; 4:12) as well as through nature (Palms 19; Rom 1:20).

As any good communicator knows, to be understood means speaking in forms your audience can understand.

Similarly, God reveals himself in ways that are understandable to his original audience: in understandable language (for the Bible, that’s Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek); in suitable thought-forms, including speaking within the ancient people’s understanding of cosmology; and in various genres (poetry,

law, history, biography, apocalypse etc.).

In love for those he communicates, too, God reveals himself within the cultures he addresses.

As the writer of Hebrews puts it: “God spoke to our ancestors [ancient people] through the prophets [spirit-inspired human authors] at many times [across thousands of years and their various cultures] in various ways [through different genres of literature]” (Hebrews 1:1-2).

To understand the Bible, and faithfully hear God speaking to us through it today, requires contemporary Bible readers to listen, as much as is possible, as though he or she were a part of the ancient audience.

When we do this well, we find that God is speaking — and in ways even more relevant than we may have imagined.

I cannot speak for all the churches Fenemore names, but most people I know who hold a position of inerrancy mean: “The Bible is truthful in everything it intends to teach.”

Of course, that leads to the question: “What are the original authors intending to teach?”

This is where the hard work of interpretation begins.

To be ethical readers (and this applies to reading any form of literature, actually), means reading the Bible from the point of view of the original authors and their intended audience, seeking to understand the message through the various forms of speech they employ.

The Bible is not a science textbook and, therefore, does not intend to teach science or cosmology (my first degree is in science from UNBC and the Bible is very different than a science textbook).

Ethical reading also means we can only judge the Bible according to the ancient historical standards within which it was written.

God reveals himself through his written word, but then goes much further.

As the writer of Hebrews goes on to say: “. . . but, in these days, he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he

appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being . . .”

(Hebrews 1:1-3a).

This is the wonder of Christmas: the Son of God, who is of the very same substance as his Father, steps into human history (John 1:18).

God “translates” himself into human form, the most understandable language for us possible. And he does so, not only to show us what God is like (John 14:9), but to make it possible for us to be restored to relationship with the God of love.

Jesus’ disciples came to believe that he was fully human and fully God — a previously impossible conclusion for a Jewish person.

How did these disciples shift their worldview basically overnight? Only if they experienced the resurrected Jesus for themselves.

Is it hard to believe?

Yes. Even some of the disciples, in the presence of the bodily-raised Jesus, “still

doubted” (Matthew 28:17).

Miracles should be hard to believe in. They are not present on every page of the Bible.

But, that does not mean miracles cannot happen.

These early disciples believed Jesus’ death meant God had decisively dealt with human sin and rebellion — and they were so convinced that they were willing to die to pass this story on to us.

And, they tell us Jesus’ victory over death is confirmed by Jesus’ resurrection.

If Jesus was raised from the dead — if that is possible — I, too, one day, will be raised if I trust in Jesus’ saving work on my behalf.

Now that’s good news.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Can’t we all just get along — and have our own beliefs?

Editor: Re: Michael Fenemore’s faith column of Dec. 4 (‘Did Jesus Christ really rise from the dead?’): This time of year, there are always people wanting to express their feelings of God and the “word” of God within the Bible, even more so than throughout the year.

I believe everyone should be allowed to express their thoughts and feeling on this and any other matter — that is, until said person demands that people that do not believe in his or her thoughts, beliefs or ill-conceived words of wisdom contridict their own.

The fact is, nowhere in the Bible does it say that God said the Earth is flat or God said the sun revolves around Earth.

There are passages that state the sun stood still for a day, which we know in the very northern and southern parts of our planet appears to happen, where daylight can light up the sky for weeks.

“

Let’s give everyone the courage to believe what they want to believe without challenging each other to denounce our beliefs or the obvious.

”

Nighttime can also occur for weeks at a time.

Fenemore commented on a passage stating God’s arms are as pillars to the world.

I can see how this may be misinterpreted as the world never moving but, even in today’s world, we have a saying that is used when someone in our community passes away.

“This person was a pillar of the community,” is a phrase that comes to mind.

In no way are we stating that this person was physically holding up our community with their own strength and that the world revolves around our community due to this person.

We are saying this person was there for many of us in so many ways for so many people — as God is for us.

We don’t all have to agree on the matter and we don’t all have to understand if we choose not to.

Everything we say and do is our own choice.

Let’s give everyone the courage to believe what they want to believe without challenging each other to denounce our beliefs or the obvious.

If we start attacking each other in this way, well, we can see what is happening across the entire world.

And, if you believe in God or not, I think Fenemore believes everyone should love and respect one another.

his was a big year for Quentin Collier.

He graduated from South Kamloops secondary in June, the same month the young fashion designer held his last show with his spring and summer designs.

He had to decide which post-secondary institution to attend, having been accepted in the fashion-design programs at Parsons The New School for Design in Manhattan, the London College of Fashion in Britain and Ryerson University.

The U.S. school is considered one of the most prestigious art and design institutions in the world and counts among its

alumni Donna Karan and Marc Jacobs.

Collier picked Toronto and, he said, he’s learning a lot in the Ryerson program and making plenty of friends.

The 18-year-old said his interest in fashion began when he was young; he put on his first show at the end of Grade 6, one he told KTW in 2014 brought together “all I like about the world

FOR TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

I

f the ukulele is one of Hawaii’s most enduring signatures, then touring a ukulele factory is to get up close and personal with some of the islands’ most timehonoured traditions.

But take note, like the instrument itself, choosing your encounter makes all the difference to the experience you’ll enjoy.

Ko’Aloha and Kamaka are two delivering more than great music.

Meticulous hammering, sawing, sanding and shaping go into the crafting of a Ko’Aloha ukulele.

Tours of the factory in Honolulu are free and open to the public.

CHRIS MCBEATH PHOTO

Aloha, Ko’aloha

Located in a working backstreet of Honolulu, Ko’aloha is an inconspicuous factory dressed not to impress.

But, the familial welcome embodies the Aloha spirit and, in its tiny reception, the intriguing showcase of ukes is testament to a special heritage.

The working area beyond is more akin to an overcrowded, compressed Home Depot.

Rough koa lumber is piled to the ceiling, milled sheets are stacked like vertical reams waiting a fuller expression and the air heavy with dancing sawdust, sweet smells of wood, Hawaiian humidity and glue.

The atmosphere, however, is charged with the focused intention of almost 30 artisans hammering, saw-

ing, sanding, shaping and meticulously crafting the components that make up some of the most sought after ukuleles in the world.

Sure, you’ll see the occasional lathe and high-powered saw, but clothes pegs still help to form the ukulele’s shapely curves and artisans still craft and assemble every instrument by hand.

Often, a single ukulele can involve some 20 craftsman to manufacture; custom orders with a particular musicality and decora-

tive features such as mother-of-pearl inlays can easily take a year or two to finish.

Mastering the Musical Flea

Although widely regarded as uniquely Hawaii, the ukulele is actually the creative adaptation of a machete de braga, an instrument brought over in the late 1800s when Portuguese immigrants were contracted to work the sugar cane plantations.

Translated, ukulele is the Hawaiian word

for ‘jumping flea’, nicknamed for its sublimely nimble sound that quickly enchanted islanders — and no one more so that Sam Kamaka Sr., founder of his namesake factory in 1916.

Kamaka

The patriarch of this third- and fourth-generation family business is best remembered for originating (and patenting) the everpopular oval-shaped Pineapple Ukulele that today is one of several models the factory produces.

Although the business is a sophisticated operation, the making of a Kamaka ukulele is an exercise in patience and craftsmanship.

It takes a minimum one year to air dry the

koa wood and stretch it in order to achieve the right resonance and tonality before the mahogany necks and rosewood fingerboards are added.

Here, mass production means turning out up to 3,000 units a year, each one built to last a lifetime and longer because, like the company, a Kamaka is often passed from one generation to the next.

As anomalous as it sounds for an instrument maker, Kamaka employs one or two craftspeople who are hard of hearing.

In 1955, when good employees were hard to find, they hired two such individuals and learned their perceived disability turned out to be a benefit.

Their heightened

sense of touch enabled them to measure the thickness of the ukulele sound boxes with accuracy by drumming their fingers on the wood and feeling the vibrations — a tactic still used today, albeit more as a personal challenge to check the machine’s accuracy.

Celebrity Ukes

With players such as Tiny Tim, Daniel Ho, George Harrison and Laurel & Hardy among their clients, Kamaka and Ko’Aloha are considered rival kings of the ukulele world.

Once looked upon as rather an oddity, today the humble strummer is enjoying a remarkable renaissance.

It is fast replacing the recorder as the

musical instrument of choice in many schools — the uke’s four strings have youngsters playing in their first lesson.

There are uke ensembles cropping up all over the world — Langley, being one of the most celebrated, and it even has its own solo recording artist: Jake Shimabukuro is cited a hero by Rolling Stone magazine for his plucking prowess.

And, let’s not forget au courant celebs like Lady Gaga and Ziggy Marley, who have also help make the ukulele a hip and happening must-have.
