Helping kids on the spectrum SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Here’s how to help a great cause

T

he KTW Christmas Cheer Fund is back, with readers of Kamloops This Week helping us help the community.

Money raised in the Cheer Fund will be distributed equally to the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association, Kamloops Brain Injury Association, Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism and the Kamloops branch of the BC SPCA. The previous two editions of KTW included profiles of the BC Interior Community Foundation (which is helping with donation tabulation) and non-profit recipient Kamloops Brain Injury Association.

Today, we focus on non-profit recipient Chris Rose Centre for Autism, which provides education, life skills and support for children and families affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

The centre works with schools and those homeschooling their children, with the ultimate goal of integrating children with ASD into their environments.

“Just a couple of weeks ago, I heard from a family whose son was able to go out to a restaurant with them on a busy Friday. Those are the kinds of thing we work on,” said Wanda Eddy, the centre’s executive director.

Eddy, who has been with the centre for 26 years, said the therapeutic program not only helps with communication skills, but with socializing and understanding what other people feel, as well as social norms — something with which individuals with ASD struggle.

Autism affects about one in

every 68 children. Studies also show autism is four to five times more common among boys than girls.

Eddy said without the work of the centre and other autism programs and services, many children there wouldn’t be able to communicate or be at school. Some might not even be able to be with their families.

“It could even mean the difference between independent living, semi-independent living or dependent living,” she said.

About half of the centre’s funding comes from agreements with schools, both public and private, while the remainder comes from grants and donations.

The KTW Christmas Cheer Fund, Eddy said, is a key part of that funding.

“Christmas Cheer is really essential to that. It has given us some stability in funding,” she said.

The centre also relies on fund-

ing from organizations such as the United Way and its own initiatives, including the Dream Vacation lottery, which is running until Jan. 13.

The centre is named after Chris Rose, a longtime educator whose greatest focus has been to support those with special needs. Rose founded the Chris Rose Foundation, which has continued to be instrumental in raising funds for the centre.

A paraglider was lifted from Mount Paul on Sunday night by the crew of a Cormorant helicopter from Canadian Forces Base Comox. The man crashed on Sunday afternoon and was seriously injured.

Paraglider rescued from Mount Paul MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops.ca

A paraglider is recovering from a back injury and lucky to be alive after crash landing near the summit of Mount Paul on the afternoon of Sunday, Nov. 13, leading to a highly visible overnight rescue involving a military aircraft.

Kamloops Search and Rescue (KSAR) manager Alan Hobler described the rescue as a “very intense” one.

He said KSAR was called out by RCMP at about 4 p.m. for a report of a man in his 20s stuck below a cliff after crashing while paragliding.

Hobler said there were multiple reports that afternoon of the injured man screaming for help and flashing a light from his location high above Sun Rivers on a cliff face overlooking Kamloops. He said the man also had some cell service and was also able to use his phone to call for help.

Hobler said he heard the paraglider failed to deploy properly, causing the man to quickly descend out of the sky.

“He was in critical condition. He was by himself, the weather was cold, it was dark,”

Hobler told KTW. KSAR members hiked to the top of Mount Paul with rescue equipment. Hobler said they assessed the scene and realized it would be too risky an extraction for their rope rescue team, noting the injured man was found in a hard-to-access area, consisting of a small ledge and tree cover.

The man was about 20 metres down the cliff and there were loose rocks above him, Hobler said, meaning any attempt hoisting him straight out with ropes brought the risk of rocks falling on the man and rescuers or having him slip farther down the embankment.

KSAR members decided their best option was to call Canadian Forces Base Comox on Vancouver Island and ask that the 422 Squadron respond with a large Cormorant search and rescue helicopter.

Hobler said it took about three hours for a crew to be put together, the helicopter prepared and travel to Kamloops from Comox. The aircraft arrived at about 9 p.m.

Hobler said the helicopter has a cable system the crew used to lower search and

rescue members down to the man on the ledge. There, rescuers were able to get him secured in a stretcher.

The Cormorant is a huge aircraft and there was a risk of its propellers blowing some of the rescuers off the ledge, Hobler said, adding those responding had to secure themselves to the cliff as they airlifted the man off the mountain.

“It was a very long rescue. There was a lot of steps involved,” Hobler said, noting the helicopter had to refuel in the middle of the operation.

Hobler said the man was airlifted at about 1 a.m. with a possible broken back or vertebra and hypothermia. He said the Cormorant was too large to land atop the helipad at Royal Inland Hospital, so it landed at Kamloops Airport, where a waiting ambulance sent him to RIH. Hobler said he believes the man is going to make a recovery.

• Meanwhile, police arrested a 35-year-old man who hiked to the top of Mount Paul and was allegedly acting belligerently toward rescuers.

Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoilet told KTW the man was released without charge, pending further investigation.

Fulton & Company LLP

Yacht Club will be shelter through March of 2023 MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The second of two BC Housing cold weather shelters will now be open throughout the remainder of the winter.

Last week (Nov. 8), The Mustard Seed Kamloops announced it would take on operations of the planned, but delayed, shelter at the Yacht Club, east of downtown on Lorne Street, for the week.

This past Monday, the non-profit announced it has partnered with BC Housing to continue the operation of the Yacht Club as a winter shelter, which provides 19 beds for the city’s homeless.

The facility, leased by BC Housing from the City of Kamloops, will operate from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., seven nights a week with four full-time staff from The Mustard Seed and a security staff member from the city on site during shelter operations.

Mustard Seed director of operations Nyasha Manyanye said the organization has confirmed a budget with BC Housing for the balance of the winter months, to March 31, 2023.

“We are hopeful that we can source the staff and resources needed to be able

to open this up to serve our community on a 24/7 basis, but that may still be weeks away,” Manyanye said in a release.

The Yacht Club building is outfitted with two washrooms, shower facilities and a small kitchen. The Mustard Seed will deliver food from its main operation on Victoria Street West to provide meals in the evening at intake and breakfast in the morning for those using the Yacht Club space.

Meanwhile, the ASK Wellness Society on Nov. 12 closed its round-the-clock warming stations at Spero House in North Kamloops and at Crossroads Inn downtown. The organization opened the facilities on Nov. 7 as an option for people to escape the cold, given the delay in the opening of BC Housing’s winter shelters, which were supposed to open Nov.1.

Asked why the spaces aren’t being kept open given the demand is not likely to dwindle, ASK executive director Bob Hughes said the spaces were operated without any funding, which isn’t sustainable.

He also said those locations are already fully occupied with residents who deserve privacy and space. The city secured the Yacht Club

A7

and Stuart Wood locations for BC Housing’s winter shelters and the local chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association was expected to operate the two sites beginning Nov. 1, but pulled out in mid-October.

That left a week-long gap in service in which shelter providers have been scrambling to make alternate arrangements as winter conditions take hold. During that time, other social agencies have been taking the initiative to house the city’s homeless overnight. The city had leased the Yacht Club and the former Stuart Wood school at Third Avenue and St. Paul Street, with the goal of having them open on Nov. 1, which wasn’t met.

On the evening of Nov. 7, the city announced BC Housing and the Out of the Cold shelter organization had signed a contract that will see the organization operate its 25-bed winter shelter at Stuart Wood from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., seven nights a week.

There is also some seated warming space available within both Stuart Wood and Lorne Street shelters.

If you see someone on the street who looks like they could use a hand, call the city’s community services department at 250-828-3409.

Questioning if a Dismissal is Fair?

Many factors impact the decision of whether a dismissal is fair, including the employment contract, performance (and expectations), and any human rights concerns. Proactively considering these factors is crucial to successfully navigating the pitfalls of dismissal.

Fall forum takes pulse of university

A

n exciting and rewarding part of my job is providing annual updates on how Thompson Rivers University is doing, including what’s new and challenging. I recently did this with the university’s senior executive team for our faculty and staff.

More than 200 people gathered at our fall forum in person and online to hear the update and ask questions. (I am also happy to provide a university update for community audiences on request.)

Here are some highlights of this year’s forum for KTW readers: • Enrolment: Including our online Open Learning courses, TRU has nearly 28,000 students annually. This fall, TRU has 9,184 in-person students — 8,989 on our Kamloops campus and 195 on our Williams Lake campus.

This represents a three per cent increase in in-person student numbers from last year. More specifically, domestic students (those from B.C. and Canada) are down four per cent, while international student numbers are up by 15 per cent. Efforts are underway to understand the reasons for the drop in domestic students.

• Budget: TRU projects an operating surplus for the 20222023 year; however, the final numbers won’t be known until the end of the fiscal year. By policy, surpluses must be used for capital projects.

• Capital projects: This past

BRETT FAIRBAIRN View From

TRU

year was a busy one on the TRU campus regarding renovations and upgrades. We opened a new Early Childhood Education Centre, which houses TRU’s daycare, early childhood education and childhood research programs. We renovated the Arts and Education Building, the Lepin Science Building, our gymnasium and change rooms and many walkways and smaller spaces.

TRU also got to work on a new student housing project, the East Village Student Housing complex, across Summit Drive from the main campus. This complex, made possible with nearly $11 million in funding from the provincial government and almost $8 million from TRU, will add 148 affordable beds to the on-campus inventory. TRU has space and demand to continue building student housing, but we are limited mainly by financing from grants and surpluses.

by widespread community vaccination. Most activities at TRU have returned this year, including many large in-person events.

Mask use at TRU is a personal choice and we are a mask-friendly environment. TRU will continue to follow directions from B.C.’s provincial health office.

• New initiatives: TRU is moving forward in many ways, including Hiring an executive director for equity, diversity and inclusion and anti-racism. The university is also continuing to foster strong partnerships with TRU’s First Nations hosts, specifically Tk’emlúps and T’exelc (Williams Lake), and with other Indigenous neighbours. Across all faculties, programs and services, we have significant initiatives to honour truth, rec-

onciliation and rights.In addition, there are new faculty-led international field schools and study tours. There is a new agreement of co-operation this year with the Chengdu University of Information in China to deliver a bachelor of engineering in data science and big data technology/ There is development of a new institute to link research and training related to wildfires and emergency services. Finally, TRU hired a new provost/vicepresident academic. Dr. Gillian Balfour started at TRU in July.

• A look ahead/integrated strategic planning: Two years ago, TRU created new vision and mission statements and identified four 10-year strategic change goals. This year, we are creating priorities and project teams to

implement our vision and goals systematically. Integrated strategic planning represents the apex of TRU’s planning through the past 10 years and is the culmination of many past efforts.

Integrated strategic planning will ensure that TRU’s resources are allocated in a way that allows teams from across the institution to work together in pursuit of our strategic objectives.

I’m sure you will agree a lot is going on. TRU is a rapidly developing university and that’s one of the things I find most exciting about working here.

The shift supervisor at Mission Flats Manor was incredibly helpful and understanding as I lost all composure (with no violence) with the thief involved. I once again retrieved the stolen bike.

We treat these prolific offenders better than we treat our seniors. I hope the new mayor and council can help fix this out-of-control problem.

Guilty plea to pair of drug-trafficking charges SHAWN CARLISLE WAS ONE OF THREE MEN ARRESTED EARLIER THIS YEAR AND ACCUSED OF BEING PART OF A HELLS ANGELS-AFFILIATED BIKER GANG TRYING TO MAKE INROADS INTO KAMLOOPS Three men were charged this past summer after an investigation into a Hells Angels support club known as the Throttle Lockers.

KTW FILE PHOTO

MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of three men arrested in connection with a years-long RCMP investigation into a biker gang in Kamloops has pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges.

Shawn Carlisle, 49, of Falkland, appearing in court alongside his lawyer John Gustafson, entered guilty pleas in Kamloops provincial court on Nov. 10. Carlisle pleaded guilty to trafficking cocaine in October of 2018 and unlawfully selling cannabis to an undercover police officer in January of 2019.

He was facing two other counts of trafficking cocaine that are expected to be stayed by the Crown.

Lawyers are expected to reconvene on Nov. 24 to fix a date for Carlisle’s sentencing,

which is expected to be done in 2023, Gustafson told the court.

The pleas come months after Kamloops RCMP and the Combined Special Forces Enforcement Unit of B.C. held a press conference in July to announce charges against three men following an investigation into a Hells Angels support club known as the Throttle Lockers.

Police said the investigation,

which began in 2017, disrupted the gang’s expansion, preventing it from establishing a clubhouse in Kamloops.

All three men remain out of custody and on court conditions.

Charges in this investigation were laid against Carlisle and two others — Zale Coty, 53, and Jacob Cavanaugh, 29, of Kamloops, whose trial is proceeding by direct indictment to

B.C. Supreme Court.

Federal Crown prosecutor Oren Bick told KTW there was an option for any of the three to plead guilty before the case moves from B.C. Provincial Court to B.C. Supreme Court.

Rick said a Nov. 22 case conference is the next court date scheduled for Coty and Cavanaugh ahead of a trial.

Coty is facing seven drugrelated charges, including trafficking cocaine and fentanyl, possession for the purpose of trafficking multiple drugs and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence of trafficking fentanyl.

Cavanaugh is facing one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence of trafficking fentanyl.

The Kamloops RCMP’s orga-

nized crime investigation began five years ago when investigators received information to believe members of the Throttle Lockers were suspects in an alleged large-scale drug trafficking operation expanding into Kamloops.

In July 2018, police said they began targeting “several known prospects of the Throttle Lockers who were allegedly trafficking drugs in the Kamloops area.”

Using three search warrants, police in November 2019 found a number of items, including $330,000 in Canadian currency, 174 grams of fentanyl, 704 grams of cocaine, 1.7 kilograms of methamphetamine, weapons (including a .40-calibre handgun, an Airsoft replica handgun and a pair of brass knuckles), a Throttle Lockers Motorcycle Club vest, Hells Angels support gear, digital scales and cashcounting machines.

Charitable Giving: Give More With Less For many of us, giving is an important part to help build a better society. Our team is passionate about philanthropy and generally there are three ways people can give: 1.

Time (volunteering)

2.

Talent (sitting on a Board or committee)

3.

Treasure (donating cash or an investment)

Since 2015, our clients collectively have donated various stocks & mutual funds from their portfolios that have exceeded $2,000,000! These funds have gone to so many worthwhile causes like Cancer, Education, Pets, Hospitals, Hospice, Alzheimer's, Food Bank, Churches and many more. We track these gifts to help ensure clients are maximizing all their tax credits.

Canadian income tax brackets typically range between 20%-54%. BC residents who have donated more than $200, receive total charitable tax credits of 43.7%.

Furthermore, if you donate (transfer) a profitable investment in-kind, the government forgives your capital gains tax.

Here is an example of a BC donor with a Net Income of over $100,000 and already donated $200, and would like to make another donation in the amount of $10,000. They have the choice of a writing a $10,000 cheque or donating shares held in their portfolio that are currently worth $10,000 but only cost $2,000 originally.

Charitable Tax Credit 43.7% Capital Gain= $10,000- $2,000=$8,000 Taxable Capital Gain @ 50.0%= $4,000 Taxes Avoided $4,000 x 38.3% =$1,532 Net Cost of Donation Net Cost as a Percentage Given 56% 41%

Cheque $10,000 -$4,370

Shares $10,000 -$4,370

=$5,630

-$1,532 =$4,098

You may be surprised to learn that your actual out of pocket costs are significantly less than the actual donation amount. Using the same example to an income earner of $50,000 would still result in a net cost of donation of $5,630 and $4,501, respectively. The key is that donating $1.00 costs you at most $0.56 but could be much lower depending on your income tax bracket. It is worth adding that donating through a business or holding company can also provide tax efficiency.

How much should I give?

•

Give profitable securities (shares) directly which can have significant tax benefits

•

Pool tax receipts on the highest income tax return

•

Consider donating through your corporation

•

Change RSP-RIF beneficiary to the charity of your choice

•

Use life insurance to enhance the amount you give

•

Make a bequest in your Will… ask yourself “If I decided to give 10% to my favourite charities, would my two children mind receiving 45% vs.

50%?”

Please know that we are not here to push anyone to donate; rather we are trying to help each of you achieve your goals in the most tax effective way. We enjoy being a part of our clients' journey and encourage them to give while they are alive, so they can see and feel the benefits. Our hope is others will be inspired to do the same. In particular, their loved ones will know that giving back is a family virtue. A lesson that is particularly important this year.

Foul play not suspected in death A small shed described by Kamloops Fire Rescue as a lean-to burned down in the early-morning hours of Saturday, Oct. 29.

A man’s body was discovered in the resulting rubble.

SEAN BRADY/KTW

MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mounties do not suspect criminality in the death of a man last month following a shed fire behind a former North Kamloops restaurant.

A body was discovered on Oct. 29 following an early morning structure fire behind the Dynasty Garden restaurant building at 227 Tranquille Rd., which was shuttered in June.

Police say an RCMP officer patrolling the area noticed smoke and fire behind the restaurant at about 7:30 a.m. on that Saturday.

Kamloops Fire Rescue later arrived on scene and extinguished the blaze, which was mostly contained to a shed or outbuilding behind the restaurant building.

While combing through the collapsed structure, police say a body was discovered.

The person was a man in

his 30s and his next of kin has been notified of his death, Kamloops RCMP has now confirmed.

It’s still not clear how the man died, how the fire started

or if the two are connected, though the incident involving a crime has been ruled out at this point, according to police.

“It’s still an active investigation,” Cpl. Crystal

Evelyn told KTW. People in the area told this newspaper the day after the fire that, given the circumstances around which the man’s body was found, he may have been a homeless individual.

Evelyn said she doesn’t know if the man was homeless, adding police wouldn’t release that information regardless, unless doing so would further their investigation.

BC Coroners Service spokesperson Ryan Panton told KTW the investigation remains open, noting such reports usually take several weeks or months to complete.

Airport passenger numbers rebounding JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Airport passenger numbers continue to improve, with alleviation of COVID-19 travel rules, but have yet to reach pre-pandemic levels.

Kamloops Airport has released its third quarter travel numbers for July to September of this year, which show a nearly 300 per

cent spike in year-to-date passengers, compared to 2021.

Through September of this year, the airport saw 180,701 passengers, compared to 45,985 during the same period in 2021.

Meanwhile, the numbers are still 33 per cent fewer than those of 2019, when 269,726 passengers came through the airport before the COVID-19 pandemic upended the travel industry.

Kamloops Airport managing director Ed Ratuski said passenger numbers began picking up in the spring and have steadily increased through the fall, as restrictions like masking, domestic and international travel further eased. Ratuski said the numbers are expected to further rebound next year.

“Our forecast right now for 2023, we’re forecasting to be at about 90 to 95 per cent of pre-COVID levels,” he said.

According to the statistics, the third quarter saw a 134 per cent improvement in passenger numbers over the same period in 2021. Overall, 67,327 passengers came through the airport during that period, compared to 28,773 in the same time period last year. July saw the biggest spike, at 21,846 passengers compared to 7,310 passengers in July of last year.

Ratuski said it is expected to get busier heading into the holiday season. He said quarantine requirements remained in place last year, but have since been lifted, making destinations like Sun Peaks more desirable to American travellers.

“There was still the mandatory testing requirements for inbound international travellers and, if by chance they tested positive when they landed in Calgary or Vancouver, they had to wait until their tests were cleared,” he said.

So, I know even up at Sun Peaks, they had many guests that were in isolation while they were up at the resort, waiting for their results. Those were in effect, masking was in effect, mandatory vaccinations were all in effect. That has been lifted now and I think we’ll start to get back to our pre-COVID numbers fairly quickly.”

Flight delays and cancellations caused by staffing and aircraft maintenance are also occurring “a lot less frequent” than a year ago, Ratuski said.

WestJet and Air Canada currently offer multiple daily flights between Kamloops Airport and Calgary and Vancouver. A Central Mountain Air flight to Prince George was suspended this past spring. Ratuski said discussions continue with carriers about flights to Edmonton and Toronto.

Happy Birthday Robber who took child Izzy McQueen to heist sentenced is celebrating her

MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

An Okanagan man who robbed a Westsyde gas station with his three-year-old daughter alongside him has been handed a fouryear prison sentence.

Andrew Miller, 32 — who this past spring was taken into police custody at gunpoint as he held the toddler — was sentenced in Kamloops provincial court on Nov. 8, having pleaded guilty to charges of robbery and using an imitation firearm to commit an indictable offence Justice Stella Frame imposed consecutive sentences on the charges.

Miller was given a one-year sentence for using an imitation firearm and was sentenced to four years behind bars for the robbery. He was given 260 days’ credit for time served, calculated at 1.5 days for every day spent in pre-trial custody, giving Miller just over four years left on his sentence.

He was also handed a lifetime firearms ban.

Additional charges against Miller of uttering threats and willfully resisting arrest were stayed by the Crown.

On May 19 at 7 p.m., court heard, Miller walked into the Super Save gas station in the 3200-block of Westsyde Road with his three-year-old daughter.

Inside, he left her in the aisle as he went to the front counter, gave the cashier a

note and showed the clerk a gun in his belt.

According to Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone, the note read: “Give me $.”

Firestone said the clerk handed $130 in cash to Miller, who made a silencing gesture, holding his index finder to his lips, as he left the building with his daughter.

At the time, a Kamloops Mountie was in the gas station’s parking lot, writing up an unrelated traffic ticket. Two employees from the gas station went outside and told the officer they had just been robbed.

They said the man had a gun and pointed out Miller, who was walking northbound on Westsyde Road, holding his daughter’s hand.

Firestone, who entered video of the incident into the record, said the officer, believing Miller was armed, caught up to him and held him at gunpoint as he waited for backup officers to arrive.

RCMP dashboardcamera footage showed the attending officer finishing writing the traffic ticket before entering his vehicle and driving to catch up to Miller.

In the video, the officer shouts, “Police!” and “Get on the ground, now!” multiple times when he approaches Miller and his daughter, who can be heard screaming and crying as the encounter unfolds.

90th Birthday

In the video, Miller appears to sit on the ground while holding his daughter on his lap as the officer tells him to lie on his belly and not to reach into his pockets or to the side.

A minutes-long standoff follows as the officer awaits backup, keeping his gun drawn on Miller, who proceeds to swear at the officer, while his daughter continues to cry.

Other police vehicles soon arrive and Miller and the officer tell a family member who arrives at the scene to retrieve the girl.

Miller lifts his daughter to her feet and she runs to the family member, who enters the frame of the video. Miller is then told to get on his stomach again and multiple officers arrest him.

The officer informs Miller that he is under arrest for robbery, to which Miller responds: “Why? Because my daughter grabbed a Kinder egg?”

Police at the time issued a release stating it was “deeply disturbing” that someone would commit a robbery with a child, noting it was even more concerning that the suspect “used his child as a shield, by putting his child between himself and the officer.”

Miller appeared in court in a red prison outfit, while some members of his family, including a number of young children, appeared in the gallery.

A 200-foot-tall crane is being used downtown at the City Gardens residential development. The crane is so large that special permits and approvals were given by Navigation Canada and Transport Canada to ensure the crane’s presence does not hamper air travel, including emergency air ambulance service to and from nearby Royal Inland Hospital.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

LOOK UP — WAY UP

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

What is believed to be the largest crane to ever be assembled in Kamloops can be seen downtown at the City Gardens construction site.

The 200-foot-tall, freestanding crane was assembled by Pagnotta, the company hired by Kelson Group to construct and pour concrete for the vertical slabs for the 24-storey Trillium tower, the first of a number of residential buildings that will rise between Fourth and Fifth avenues and Battle and Nicola streets.

With the three-storey underground parkade already excavated, the erection of the crane was the next big step of construction in the largest residential development in the city’s history.

City Gardens is a 525unit multi-family development made up of two highrise buildings (at 24 and 20

storeys in height) and four six-storey buildings.

The development is valued at more than $200 million and will take more than six years to be completed.

Wes Caudle of Pagnotta Concrete said the work around pouring concrete for a tower like Trillium is a multi-faceted process.

He said project engineers and architects have worked to ensure the design and structure of the tower is to code.

Construction teams then work with subcontractors, who bring in many thousands of pounds of rebar to reinforce the structure for the tower.

Although it is now fall, Caudle and his team will be working through winter to keep the progress rolling on the vertical build of the tower, which is estimated to take about seven months.

“Many people think that when it gets really

cold, you can’t pour concrete. It’s just not the case,” Caudle said.

“Our team creates concrete that can be both poured and properly set in cold temperatures. We’ve successfully done our work year-round, including in the winter months, in cities like Edmonton.”

Caudle said once crews get past the 12th floor, the crane will be jacked up from that floor so the vertical slabs for the final 12 floors can be completed.

Of note, special permits and approvals were given

by Navigation Canada and Transport Canada to ensure the crane’s presence does not hamper air travel, including emergency air ambulance service to and from nearby Royal Inland Hospital.

To see photos of the construction of the crane — from the ground floor to its full height — go online to kamloopscitygardens.ca.

Prolific offender pleads guilty JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER

Cathi-Lee Williams was last seen on Nov. 5. Call the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 if you have information on her whereabouts.

Have you seen Cathi-Lee? KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops Mounties are asking for the public’s help in finding Cathi-Lee Williams, a 29-year-old woman who has been reported missing.

Williams was last seen on Nov. 5. She is white, stands 5-foot-5 and weighs 120 pounds.

Williams has a thin build, brown hair (darker than depicted in the accompanying photo), brown eyes, a nose piercing and tattoos on the underside of each forearm.

Anybody with information on Williams’ whereabouts is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

A prolific offender has a little more than a month left behind bars after pleading guilty in Kamloops provincial court in connection with an shoplifting incident last month.

Justin Wade Worthington, who had been charged with robbery, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of theft under $5,000 for stealing a bottle of alcohol from the BC Liquor Store on Summit Drive in Sahali on Oct. 7.

Kamloops RCMP issued a press release at the time stating they responded to the call at about 5 p.m. and, with the assistance of a police dog unit, arrested Worthington near the business without issue. Police said the suspect stole from the store and then produced what appeared to be a weapon — but was in fact a flashlight — when chased by an employee.

Judge Clarke Burnett sentenced Worthington to three months in prison, to be followed by a oneyear probation term.

After factoring time served, calculated at 1.5 days for every day served in pre-trial custody, Worthington has 36 days left to serve behind bars following his Nov. 2 sentencing hearing.

Other charges of possessing a weapon for dangerous purposes and uttering threats were stayed by the Crown.

Worthington, who is in his mid-40s, was sentenced to time served this past spring on a trio of theft charges that included an incident at Mark’s on Jan. 4. In that incident, an off-duty police officer and another customer subdued Worthington, who was carrying a hatchet and in possession of stolen items. That sentence included a 12-month probation term prohibiting him from possessing weapons.

At that April hearing, court heard Worthington had worked as a foreman at the Highland Valley Copper mine for about 20 years, but fell on hard times a few years ago due to drug addictions and stole to support his habit.

Worthington told the court at the time he intended to get his life back on track, describing doing so as “the last kick at the cow.”

Concert review: KSO’s Evocative Eloquence was full of great endings LESLIE HALL SPECIAL TO KTW

There is mantra in performance that states that whatever happens after you start, be sure to end well.

And the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra did end well five times in this past Saturday’s Evocative Eloquence concert.

Some endings were crisp, some were mesmerizing and all were flawless. It was a program of music that plumbed the depths of the mind, the soul and the heart.

The eloquent compositions, all from the early 20th century, were written by Lili Boulanger, Claude Debussy and Ina Boyle.

Flutist Jeff Peltier, a longtime member of the medieval music group Winter Harp, did total justice to the magical and mysterious solos in Debussy’s Prelude a l’Apre Midi d’un Faune. It was beautiful at the beginning and at the end.

The audience was treated twice to the brilliance of soloist Andrew Wan. Moving like the inflatable tube guy flying over a used car lot, music appeared to flow through Wan’s body and straight into his violin.

His ending of the Boyle’s concerto was a true delight to music lovers.

To warm the audience to the evocative works, beloved conductor Dina Gilbert sat on the podium and shared her personal thoughts on the music of Philip Glass and Sammy Moussa.

Glass, no less than Debussy, has changed the direction of musical expression. His three movement, Concerto Grosso, exemplifies his ability to constantly stimulate the ear, yet still develop a satisfying experience.

The first movement pulsated energetically, the slower second insisted seriously, while the third seemed to be saying, “We did it.” All of us can work and play together.

Next up is the KSO’s Christmas Concert on Saturday Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday, Dec. 18, at 2 p.m.

The concerts will feature guest conductor Antonio Delgado, harp soloist Naomi Cloutier and chorus master Tomas Bijok and the KSO Chorus.

Included in the program will be Benjamin Britten (A Ceremony of Carols), Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky (Excerpts from The Nutcracker) and George Frideric Handel (Excerpts from The Messiah).

Soon to be announced are details on 150 tickets being donated to non-profit agencies.

Dec. 9 is next campout date KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A Way Home Kamloops (AWHK) is gearing up for its sixth annual Campout To End Youth Homelessness campaign.

The 2022 event will take place in person on Friday, Dec. 9, starting at 6 p.m. at McDonald Park in North Kamloops, as well as virtually via Zoom where campers from any location can join in showing their solidarity.

The annual fundraiser helps shine a light on youth homelessness in Kamloops as community members spend a night outside in cardboard boxes in honour of youth who are without a home.

Campers are encouraged to raise pledges and donations

that fund crucial programs that support homeless youth.

AWHK raised about $100,000 in 2021 from the campout, down from its recordsetting $150,000 in 2020.

This year’s campout fundraising goal is $150,000 and all proceeds will be going towards funding the wraparound supports and programs AWHK will run at the soon-to-be-constructed Katherine’s Place. Last year a portion of the funds went towards funding the new facility. The rest went to its youth housing first program.

Katherine’s Place will be Katherine’s Place will be a supportive building with 39 units for youth ages 19 to 26 who are at-risk of or experiencing homelessness.

Once Katherine’s Place rises in the 500-block of Tranquille Road in North Kamloops, youth will be able to access wraparound supports to develop life skills while meeting their employment and education goals, both in the housing and through connections with supports in the community.

Tangie Genshorek, executive director of AWHK, said site preparation is underway at Katherine’s Place and they hope to have the foundation poured before winter sets in.

Most of Katherine’s Place will be owned by BC Housing.

A Way Home Kamloops will operate the building.

The midfielder from Kamloops — who missed the 2021 season due to a concussion — was in the crowd leading chants on a megaphone on Friday (Nov. 11), a healthy scratch doing his part to push the No. 5-ranked Pack to a 3-2 penalty shootout win over the No. 1 Cape Breton Capers.

Domenico and his brother, Alesandro, were brought into the game before the 80th minute, replacements for injured WolfPack players Ryan Lewis and Mikkel Rosenlund, the substitutions part of head coach John Antulov’s plan to keep the undermanned WolfPack’s precarious championship hopes alive.

Alesandro scored in the 101st minute, his goal in the first half of extra time giving 10-men TRU a 1-0 lead, the poacher’s strike sending more than 2,500 fans (overflow bleachers were full and some spectators were forced to park darn near Juniper) in attendance into a state of pandemonium, with orange flares lighting up the darken-

ing sky, while night appeared to be falling on UBC’s championship aspirations.

The goal was set up by 6-foot-4 German forward Jost Hausendorf, who arrived in Kamloops just in time to blow his knee out eight minutes into the Pack’s first game in 2021, an injury that cost him his Canada West rookie campaign and required intense rehab.

Hausendorf returned to the lineup this season and all of the hard work paid off on Sunday, when the super sub rumbled down the left side and delivered a succulent cross into talisman Alesandro Comita.

“We did it for the team,” Domenico said. “He [Alesandro] put his [F-ing] heart on the pitch and I did,

too. I just love this team.

Sorry for swearing.”

Fans clad in orange and black were soon cursing into the dusk.

TRU — which conceded a goal in the 108th minute on Friday, allowing Cape Breton to draw level at 2-2 — relinquished a lead in the second half of extra-time again on Sunday, when Daniel Kaiser headed home a Thomas Gardner free kick in the 115th minute.

Penalties arrived and so did dancing, prancing WolfPack goalkeeper Jackson Gardner, who, if football supreme beings are real, is TRU’s diving deity incarnate — Godner might read the plaque on his campus statue.

Rinaldi rises to moment From A26

He flapped like a bird. He did the Macarena. He did a handstand. He was a moustached cartoon character come to life.

He was a championship saver.

Gardner, who made one leaping stop in the 2-1 penalty shootout triumph over No. 4 McMaster of Hamilton in a quarter-final heartstopper on Thursday and denied two attempts in the semifinal shootout on Friday, hurled himself toward UBC’s fourth penalty attempt, which struck the framework and stayed out.

With Elijah Dos Santos, Rosenlund, Alesandro Comita and Josh Banton each having converted from the spot, Patrick Izett ambled toward the 18-yard box from the halfway line while the crowd bursted with expectation — a goal and the trophy was theirs.

Izett was TRU’s fifth shooter and executioner on Thursday and Friday, the man of the moment who scored to seal victories both nights.

KTW asked him on Friday if he was willing to do it again on Sunday.

“Absolutely. It’s taken years off my life, but that’s fine,” Izett said.

“I’m happy to be doing it for the lads.”

Izett blew his shot over the crossbar and held his head in his hands.

It was impossible not to think of Roberto Baggio in World Cup 1994.

A hush blew over the crowd. Surely, this was one bridge too far.

“I think it finally got to me,” Izett said after the game. “What a moment. There’s so much going on.

It’s surreal.”

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

UBC’s sixth shooter, Kaiser, scored to put immense pressure on the Pack’s sixth shooter, Jonathan Rinaldi, who was substituted into the game late in the second half of extra-time, in part because of his penalty-kick prowess.

The Kamloopsian — coming in cold and with the weight of his team and city on his shoulders — melted a lazer into the net, bulging the old onion bag before appealing to the frenzied Den. “He buried it and it was great,” said Antulov, who seemed in a daze when talking to reporters before the scrum was interrupted by a Banton bearhug, a long, sentimental embrace. “Elated. So happy.

So happy for the guys, the way they battled and gutted it out. I’m ecstatic.”

Rinaldi and Alesandro Comita were ball boys when TRU played host to the 2017 U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship.

Gardner made sure Izett will not be remembered for his mistake, the graduating shot-stopper from Chilliwack making a full stretch

stop on UBC’s seventh shooter to set the stage for the Megaphone Man — the healthy scratch turned hometown hero.

Domenico looked eager to reach the spot and his perfectly placed penalty was unreachable, a shot heard across the country that spurred yet another mad mob of fans onto the field (they rushed the pitch on Thursday and Friday, too), the spectators ignoring loudspeaker instructions to stay put while lighting flares and embracing players.

“I can’t think of anyone better tonight to seal the win than the Comita brothers,” Izett said. “They are Kamloops. You saw it tonight, with all the fans that were here. The singing, the chanting … everything was unreal. It’s what we play for.”

Added Gardner: “Look at the support. Are you kidding me? We had so much going against us. I cannot be prouder of this group.

We deserved it. We worked our asses off.”

WHL championship-winning forward Jakub Demek was on Monday traded to the Kamloops Blazers.

105 - 805 Notre Dame Dr. • 236-425-1390

Blazers make a splash MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The 2023 Memorial Cup host Kamloops Blazers on Monday acquired 19-yearold forward Jakub Demek in exchange for a first-round WHL Prospects Draft pick in 2023, a conditional secondround prospects draft pick in 2024, a conditional thirdround prospects draft pick in 2026 and a fourth-round prospects draft pick in 2026.

Demek, a 6-foot-4, 203pound forward from Kosice, Slovakia, won the WHL championship last season with the Oil Kings.

“There’s lots to like,” Blazers’ head coach and GM Shaun Clouston said.

“He’s big. He’s skilled. He’s outstanding in the face-off circle. We really like the overall package. He plays with energy. We also really value the run, the playoff experience. He really performed for Edmonton down the stretch.”

Edmonton will receive the second-round pick if Demek plays a certain number of games for Kamloops.

Clouston opted not to reveal the number.

The Oil Kings will receive the third-round pick if Demek returns to the WHL for his overage campaign.

The left-shot forward tallied 20 goals and 54 points in 55 regular-season games

in 2021-2022, and racked up five goals and 17 points in 19 post-season contests.

Demek, who was picked by the Vegas Golden Knights in Round 4 of the 2021 NHL Draft, had one assist in three Memorial Cup games.

He toiled for Slovakia at the 2022 World Junior Hockey Championship, which wrapped up on Aug. 20 in Edmonton.

Demek, who had shoulder surgery after the world juniors, is on the injured reserve and is expected to return to play in mid- to late January, Clouston said, noting Demek has been skating for a few days.

Each WHL team is permitted to have two European players on its roster.

Goaltender Michael Schnattinger of Brno, Czechia, and defenceman Aapo Sarell of Lappeenranta, Finland, toil for the Blazers.

The WHL trade deadline is on Jan. 10.

“We’ll have to make a decision on the other imports by Jan. 8,” Clouston said. “If a guy is an odd guy out, there needs to be a

couple days to find another spot in the league.”

The Blazers have assembled one of the most sizeable forward groups in the league.

“In the second half of the season, games get harder, but we don’t want to sacrifice a whole bunch of skill for size,” Clouston said. “I think this guy is the complete package.

“We’ve got guys that can skate and play. There’s some thought there, but if there was a real good player and he wasn’t Jakub’s size, we’re still going to look at it.

It just happened to be a guy we had lots of interest in and ended up being available.”

ON THE ROAD Kamloops is slated to play two road games this weekend.

The Blazers (8-4-2-1) will travel to the Lower Mainland to square off against the Vancouver Giants (7-8-2-2) on Friday, a 7:30 p.m. start in Langley.

Kamloops will head south to play the Portland Winterhawks on Saturday, a 6 p.m. puck-drop at Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Portland was atop Western Conference standings with a record of 13-11-1 heading into a game against Calgary that took place on Tuesday after KTW’s press deadline.

SPORTS FINISHING STRONG

MITTON AN INSPIRATION

Audrey McLean helped the South Kamloops Titans end their field hockey season on a positive note at the AA provincial high school championship, which wrapped up earlier this month in Victoria.

McLean, a goalie, stopped a shot in the shoot-

From A27

out to secure a 3-2 win over Southern Okanagan secondary of Oliver and clinch 13th place for the Titans.

Sam Wiggins and Anabelle Thost scored goals for South Kam. Thost, Alice Willms, Georgia Connor and Kate Howick tallied in the shootout for the Titans.

The season began in November and included 6:30 a.m. practices during the week

at Thompson Rivers University, league games in Kelowna and tournaments in Oliver

and Surrey.

South Kam placed first in the tournament in Surrey.

U13 Blazers snare tournament title The under-13 tier 2 Kamloops Blazers earned gold at the Whitemud Fall Invitational Tournament on the weekend in Edmonton.

Kamloops, toiling in its first out-ofprovince tournament, topped the St. Albert Reapers 3-1 in the gold-medal tilt to cap a perfect 4-0 weekend.

The Blazers reached the final with three consecutive victories — 7-1 over the SWAT 502 Spartans, 5-2 over St. Albert and 6-1 over the Whitemud 502 Grizzlies.

While teammates accepted medals from organizers and hung them around their necks, Banton spotted one of the club’s inspirations, Jude Mitton, a Grade 5 student at Lloyd George elementary who suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Banton cleared a path for Mitton — whom the club signed to a contract in September — to drive his scooter onto the pitch, where he celebrated with the squad and took his place in the championship photo.

“This is bitter-sweet,” said Mitton’s mother, Kasha. “It’s quite amazing. This is community at its finest, really bringing the spirit and talking about inclusivity and feeling like you’re part of the team.”

Added Jude’s father, Jeff, who fought through a frog in his throat: “It’s really cool for Jude to be able to experience something like this. It’s more than we could have imagined he would have taken part of when this

whole thing started this year.”

When TRU went down 1-0 to McMaster on Thursday, it was on the verge of becoming a club remembered for the wrong reasons, a host team that did not belong, a perennial underachiever that was bounced in Round 1 of the Canada West post-season and floundered on the national stage.

What has happened since is beyond storybook, an unforgettable chapter of Kamloops sports history.

“And now we’re No. 1, baby,” Domenico said. “We’re No. 1, man! Let’s go!”

EXTRA HONOURS Akwasi Agyekum was covered in hardware on Sunday.

The TRU midfielder from Calgary earned the Nike Performer of the Game Award for the Pack in the gold-medal tilt and the Championship MVP Award.

Agyekum was also named to the Championship All-Star Team, along with teammates Gardner, Banton and Dos Santos.

TOBIANO BEST IN CANADA AGAIN

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Tobiano Golf Course was for the third consecutive year named Canada’s best golf course at the 2022 World Golf Awards, which were held on Tuesday in Dubai.

The World Golf Awards celebrate and reward excellence in golf tourism, world-class courses and golf destinations.

A nomination process was followed by voting from Feb. 26 to Oct. 1.

Votes were cast by professionals working within the golf travel and tourism industry and public golf consumers.

Doris Lorraine Scafe (née Ketola) October 14, 1932 - October 11, 2022

We are very saddened to announce the passing of our beautiful mom October 11, 2022, at The Hamlets in Vernon.

Mom was born in Vancouver and she was an only child. She spoke Finnish and played the accordion. She loved to spend time at her dad’s restaurants, The Hembegden and The Stockholm. She attended Hastings Elementary School before her family moved to the Shuswap to her grandparent’s farm.

She then attended Balmoral School. The school has been donated to O’Keefe Ranch and some of her books are on display there. Mom graduated from Salmon Arm Consolidated High School. She returned to Vancouver to further her education as a stenographer.

Her career led her to taking short hand for Phil Gaglardi. On September 12, 1953 she married Gordon Scafe. They started their family in Kamloops. They then moved to Balmoral to take over her parent’s farm where they raised their six children.

She is survived by her family: Robert (Cathy) Scafe, son Kyle Scafe (Brittany), children Gianna and Luca; son Dustin Scafe Pozzabon (Kelsey); Cathy McCauley, son Colin McCauley (Cassy) children Carter, Carrisa, Kayden and Jaxx, son Todd McCauley; Cindy (Craig) Fleischhacker, daughter Carleigh Fleischhacker, child Syd, son Cohl (Shaynae) Fleischhacker, children Jayde and Rylee; Gordon (Barb) Scafe, daughter Leah Scafe (Akli), son Conor (Shawna) Scafe, children Levi, Lenayah, and Dawson, daughter Brady (Spencer) Moores, child Georgia; Valerie (Fred) Nakashima, son Ryland Nakashima, and Barry Scafe, son Wyatt Scafe (Kirstie).

Mom had a vibrant smile and a calming voice. She was the best host and made friends and family feel welcome and at home. She was so proud of all her family and always was up for a good conversation. She was a kind, caring mom, grandma, great grandma and friend. She was thoughtful of others to a fault. She was known for her amazing sense of humour, and a love for learning. She really enjoyed professional sports on TV. She kept her mind sharp with crossword puzzles, sudokus and many daily game shows. She was known for her baking, cooking and gardening. She even won a Grand Prize at the Fall Fair for canning and baking. She was the Matriarch of the family. She will be dearly missed. Mom and dad enjoyed trips to Hawaii. Mom went to Las Vegas, on an Alaskan Cruise, Whistler on the Peak 2 Peak; as well as many bus trips to the US and Barkerville with family and friends.

In 2008 mom moved to Vernon and in 2017 to The Hamlets. She really appreciated all the phone calls and cards over the years from friends.

Mom is predeceased by her husband Gordon Scafe, her son-in-law Dan McCauley, her father Otto Ketola, her mom Lily Valli (Ketola, Wuori), step-father Henry Valli, nephew Dennis Saunders, sister-in-law Helen Saunders and husband George Saunders, sister-in-law Vera Brown and husband Pat Brown.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services. For more on mom’s life story and to leave condolences for the family go to Doris’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com A family grave side service was held in Notch Hill Cemetery on October 30th.

Thank you to The Hamlets care staff and Dr. Dippenaar for all your care of our mom…

We know that Mom is still shining down on us all ♥

KEN MACDONELL

Ken had an amazing zest for life. He loved to travel and experience different cultures which took him to the South Pacific, South America, Africa, Europe, and Central America. He was an avid outdoorsman- climbing with the Alpine Club, skiing, hiking, camping, canoeing, playing baseball and he finally gave up hockey at the age of 52. He loved music of many different genre but especially classical. He played clarinet in the community band in Kamloops for several years. He truly was addicted to the written word and had infinite wealth of knowledge on many subjects especially history. Ken also had a terrific sense of humour.

Most of all, Ken was a family man, enjoying every moment he shared with his wife and children, leaving us with a wealth of beautiful memories of holidays, events, and time spent together. He will be forever missed by his beloved wife, Donna, and his children Don, Lisa and her husband Eric - all of Vancouver, his son, Christopher of Chilliwack, and his son James and his wife Kate of Apex, North Carolina. Ken was also adored by his three grandchildren - Samantha, Julia, and Cooper also of Apex, NC. A private family celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In Loving Memory of

It is with great sorrow that the family of Dr. Ken Macdonell announced the passing of our beloved husband, dad, and papa at the age of 94 after a long struggle with Parkinson’s disease.

Born in Toronto to Donald and Kathleen Macdonell, Ken was the oldest of three children and he was predeceased by both his brother, Donald, and his sister, Rosemary. He graduated high school from Saint Michael’s in Toronto and obtained his medical degree from the University of Ottawa. He did a year’s residency in surgery in Vancouver before opening a practice there as a family physician. After two years, he decided to specialize in radiology which led him to do his residency at Shaughnessy Hospital in Vancouver, Dundee Royal Infirmary in Dundee, Scotland, and Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. After certification, he settled in Kamloops and was a radiologist at Royal Inland Hospital for 27 years. In an effort to get more free time he moved to William’s Lake where he worked half time for the next 10 years. He semi-retired to Blind Bay on Shuswap Lake for 14 years and did some locums mainly in Yellowknife, NWT. During his time in Blind Bay, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and finally the decision was made to move to Kelowna to get the medical care he needed.

Gloria was born on November 4, 1944 in Bralorne, B.C. to parents Geoffrey and Nellie (Giacomuzi) Walters. She is predeceased by her husband Roger, her sister Marie (Walters) Steep and brother Gordon Walters.

Travelling was a passion with trips as far north as Alaska and South to Arizona and Mexico. They would hook on to the trailer and set off to see the sites. Time at the lake, camping and fishing trips were big on the list. Often friends would join Gloria and Roger with many stories, drinks and laughs shared around the campfire or trailer.

Gloria was an amazing cook and loved to share her food with her many friends and family. Her kitchen was always busy with delicious dinners, baking, canning and preserving.

Gloria loved and was loved by her family. She will be greatly missed especially by her son Glen and his partner Lena, her granddaughter Tyanna, and her niece Donna and her husband David. She is now at peace and reunited with the love of her life.

KAMLOOPS INVENTOR

SNARES A DRAGON DAVE EAGLES STAFF REPORTER dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

O

ne year ago, local entrepreneur Nicole Duff had no idea she would be standing in a Toronto studio under bright lights, pitching to venture capitalists of the popular Dragon’s Den show on the CBC. Kamloops This Week first introduced readers to Duff and her portable poop caddy in October 2021, when she first launched the dog caddy, then called Walk Star.

Since then, Duff has been seeking ways to further market her invention to boost sales.

“I was obviously extremely excited to get invited to go pitch down in Toronto,” Duff said.

Standing backstage in the green room moments before she would take the stage, Duff said the senior producer told her, “Over 1,000 people auditioned to be here, Nicole, and you’re here today.”

Fighting nerves and an early missed cue as she walked on stage with a pair of borrowed pooches, Duff said her 30-minute opportunity proved to be golden for snagging support for her poop caddy, now called Slypod.

“I was really, really nervous,” Duff said, noting she remembers inadvertently stepping on the paw of one of the dogs, which flustered her immediately.

“I was just like, ‘What was I thinking, taking two dogs into the Den?’” Duff recounted.

She was told to go back and

walk on again, only this time slower, so the camera could catch her movements.

Duff said the half-hour presentation turned into an edited seven-minute television presentation of what went down in the Den. It aired on Oct. 27 on the CBC. “I laughed out loud a couple of times because of the edit,” Duff said.

After several Dragons declined to invest in her Slypod portable poop caddy, Dragon entrepreneur Wes Hall decided it was for him. And Duff was not surprised by his decision.

“Every time I looked over at him during my pitch, even when the other Dragons weren’t seeing my vision, he was smiling and nodding and looking down at the product,” she said.

“He actually rebutted with the Dragons every time they were like, ‘I don’t know, I don’t see it.’

He’s like, ‘I do, I will.’ “He was on my side the whole time.”

Duff said she wanted an investor and strategic partner, noting she found that in Hall, as he agreed to take on a 49 per cent ownership of her company.

Now having a very powerful partner, Duff said she feels a little bit more pressure to perform.

Duff said she is still in the due diligence stage, with no money yet exchanging hands.

“We’re still very optimistic about the deal. We haven’t just signed and sealed everything yet,” she said.

Connecting through email and Zoom meetings, Duff has been working with Hall’s team, talking about strategy.

“They’ve been really amazing

to work with,” she said.

Duff said her family is proud of the passion she has for her Slypod project.

“They’re super-excited.

They’ve been getting more attention, too,” she said.

Duff’s daughter works a Nu Leaf Market in North Kamloops, where the Slypod dog caddy is sold, with daughter certain to tell customers buying the product she is related to the inventor.

“One of the reasons I just love being an entrepreneur is because, for me, I get to show my kids that you really can just “swing for the fences,” Duff said. “In life, take a chance on yourself — don’t limit yourself

to what somebody says you are.

I’m 42 years old and that’s the most vulnerable thing I’ve done in my life.”

ABOUT THE SLYPOD After hiking trails around the city with her two dogs, Mayday and Finn, Duff said she was finding a disturbing number of full poop bags left along paths or tied to trees. Her frustration at witnessing dog owners getting the job only half-done led Duff to search for a solution to help keep trails and sidewalks clean and to offer a handy method to pack and carry doggie-doo.

Using a computer program, Duff mocked up a design until

she liked what she saw. After finding an industrial designer, Duff had a working computeraided design file of her invention, which she then took to a manufacturer that could produce exactly what she wanted.

The caddy is made of a collapsible silicone container with an airtight plastic lid. It expands to hold poop bags and can be clipped to a leash.

After a half-century, Pernitsky handed PM’s Award DAVE EAGLES STAFF REPORTER dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

Early childhood educator Patti Pernitsky has spent nearly 50 years caring for young people in Kamloops.

As a result, she has been honoured with the 2022 Prime Minister’s Award for Achievement in Early Childhood Education.

On Nov. 9, Pernitsky was presented with the prestigious award

by Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Frank Caputo, on behalf of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Only a handful of such awards are given out each year.

Pernitsky, 66, has been at the helm of Kamloops United Church Preschool — which was formerly located in the basement of the downtown church — for most of her 48 years in early childhood education in the city.

Pernitsky, who has cared for countless youngsters in Kamloops, said she wants to retire from the career she has enjoyed for decades while she is

still a good teacher.

She has seen changes during that time, including helping move the preschool from the Christian education building into a newly renovated 2,000-squarefoot facility next door at St. Paul Street and Fourth Avenue.

Pernitsky noted there is a shortage of early childhood educators in Kamloops and across the province and country.

“Everybody is scrambling trying to get early childhood educators,” she said.

In 2017, Pernitsky shared with KTW the plight of single parents who could not afford childcare.

At the time, she said: “I have to be honest and say I've been in the field since 1974 and this has been something that we've been talking about since 1974, is having affordable child care.

“We have families that come into our centre that, literally, are single moms trying to rub two nickels together to turn them into a quarter. They need to have some kind of security so that they can go out and be a breadwin-

ner and show their children that there's a different way of living, instead of welfare."

The federal and provincial governments recently announced

funding to lower the cost of daycare in British Columbia.

It is part of a plan to work toward $10-a-day daycare, with two such daycares operat-

ing in Kamloops: Kamloops Christian School’s non-profit Early Learning Centre and the Kamloops Child Development Centre.

It was as he journeyed to Jerusalem

T

here are a number of signposts in the Gospel of Luke that direct our attention to follow the

Saviour.

The first of these signposts is found at Luke 9:51-53, where we read that Jesus steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

There are at least eight markers that show this last time the saviour journeyed to Jerusalem, where he was ultimately crucified and raised from the dead.

I would like to look at just a few details from chapters 18 and 19 of the Gospel of Luke. Jesus employed the use of parables to illustrate many aspects of salvation that he would offer freely to whomever would trust him as their own personal saviour. He said, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16).

In Luke 18:9-14, the Lord tells one of these parables as he spoke to the people. Jesus said, “Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee and the other a publican (tax collector). The Pharisee stood and prayed

JOHN EGGERS You Gotta Have

FAITH

thus with himself, God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.”

Jesus then said, “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.”

There are two people who could have been there to hear the Lord tell this parable.

In Luke 18:18-23, there is a

ruler who asked Jesus, “Good master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

Jesus responded that the ruler knew the commandments. The ruler said he kept them from his youth. Then Jesus put his finger on the man’s true need. There’s not one person who has kept all the commandments except Jesus himself. The problem with the ruler was he was not willing to see his need, so we read that he was sorrowful. Besides, salvation is not earned by our good works, but rather a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works lest any man should boast.”

The second man is Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. He is found in Luke 19:1-10. Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus as he moved on his way to Jerusalem, but there was a large crowd with him, so it was difficult to get through.

Also, Zacchaeus was not a tall man, so he went ahead of the crowd and climbed a tree to see Jesus. When Jesus came to the tree where Zacchaeus was, he looked up and told

Zacchaeus to quickly come down for Jesus wanted to come to visit Zacchaeus.

Publicans were known for taking more tax than they should. That is how they got rich. They worked for the occupying Romans and were not liked at all by the Jews.

But Zacchaeus had had a change of heart, which is why he wanted to see the Lord.

He promised he would be a changed man and be honest and return all the extra taxes he took. He gave back four times the amount he took.

He wasn’t saved by his good works, but rather showed that he trusted in the saviour by his changed life.

Jesus spoke of Zacchaeus, saying, “This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10. ohn Eggers is an elder in the assembly that meets in Westsyde Gospel Hall in Kamloops. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.
