Making a donation to Operation Red Nose this holiday season will be a little easier for Kamloopsians For its 19th year, the safe-ride program is giving some of its volunteer drivers the ability to take
donations via credit card. Program co-ordinator Katie Klassen said an alternative way to donate to Operation Red Nose after a ride home has been a common request over the years from the campaign’s passengers. “A lot of people don’t have cash on them,” she said. Thanks to a donation, six of
the up to 22 Red Nose volunteer teams on the roads each weekend through the Christmas season will have iPhones equipped with credit card-friendly software. Klassen said the program is a test this year that could be expanded for future Red Nose Campaigns.

Mike Miltimore thinks the four guitars he took to Paris might have protected him last week. Miltimore, travelling in Europe promoting his Riversong guitar line, said when he arrived in Paris on Friday afternoon, the clerk at the hotel he had booked told him the room he was assigned was not large enough to handle the four guitars and their cases. Instead, Miltimore said, she gave him five keys and sent him off to find a room that could accommodate his gear, which led to a delay in his dinner meeting, one that was to be followed by drinks at one of the restaurants targeted in the attacks. “It must have been some divine intervention,” Miltimore told KTW during a stop in Calgary yesterday as he returned to Kamloops. “It slowed down

dinner, otherwise we might have been in the other place. “It’s surreal.” Friday night was spent largely awake, Miltimore said, “because it sounded like there were a million sirens going all night long.” Lindsay Langill, dean of trades and technology at Thompson Rivers University, was supposed to be in Paris on Friday, but opted to spend another day in Belgium. He described the attacks as “shocking,” particularly since he had spent part of last week visiting Vimy Ridge, taking part in Remembrance Day
ceremonies there, finding his relative’s name on the memorial wall, visiting the beaches of Dunkirk and spending time in Flanders Fields Museum. Langill said he thought borders were closed and he might have difficulty catching his flight home at the Paris airport. But, he learned from the people running the bed-and-breakfast where he was staying that borders were controlled, not closed. “The army and police had checkpoints up, but only for those leaving the country. I sailed right through.” Langill said. See SENSING, A6

Former Tk’emlups Indian Band councillor Fred Seymour will succeed Shane Gottfriedson as TIB chief following a four-vote victory in Saturday’s election.
An incumbent councillor with 15 years experience is the new chief of Tk’emlups Indian Band. Fred Seymour narrowly defeated his challengers in the general band election Saturday. That includes Okanagan Mountie Frank Paul, who lost by only four votes. Seymour picked up 159 votes, followed closely by Paul with 155 votes, George Casimir (131 votes) and James Thomas (100 votes). There were more rejected votes (six) than the margin of Seymour’s victory. “The rejected ballots were things like voter intention was not clear,” said chief election officer Loreen Suhr. “On a couple of occasions, ballots were left blank.” Seymour succeeds outgoing chief Shane Gottfriedson, now B.C. regional chief with the Assembly of First Nations. He assumes leadership of a council where four of the seven members are newly elected. Newcomers Nacoma George (311 votes), former band CEO Howard Campbell (223), Eagle Casimir (222) and Viola Thomas (170) will join veteran councillors Katy Gottfriedson (238), Jeanette Jules (236) and Rosanne Casimir (255). There were eight rejected votes for councillors. In addition, TIB members voted 453 to 91 in favour of ratifying the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc membership code.

The licence plate on Brock Nanson’s Tesla says it all: “EVOLVD”. The Kamloops engineer has crunched the numbers — solar panels on his Aberdeen home can charge his electric vehicle for an average of 28,000 kilometres annually. “I’m generating an offset,” Nanson told KTW. “Hydro is my battery.” Nanson went electric because “it’s green” and Colin Noble, an advisor at Twin Rivers Financial Services Inc., has made Nanson’s evolution a little easier while the technology continues to grow. Noble is behind Kamloops’ newest electric-vehicle charging station, located in the parking lot of the Sun Life Financial office on West Victoria Street.

“Just customer service,” Noble said during a media launch yesterday, noting he has clients who own electric vehicles. The station has two chargers — one designed specifically for Teslas and a more universal one accommodating vehicles like the Nissan Leaf. When Nanson pops into Sun Life for a onehour meeting with Noble, he can park his Tesla in front of the “Electric Vehicle parking only” sign, plug in and gain about 50 kilometres’ worth of charge. “A happy Tesla’s a plugged-in Tesla,” Nanson said. “You just plug it in where you can and you never go to a gas station.” Installation was about $1,000 and it costs about $2.50 for each full charge, said Bryan Tolbert, regional manager of Sun Country Highway, a private Canadian company spreading the technology across Canada and the U.S. Noble won’t be

If we can do that, it’s just going to make it that much easier for the general public to wanna buy electric vehicles and continue to grow the concept.” Nanson said people
have misconceptions about price and performance when it comes to electric vehicles. “If people actually look at what they pay for their car, in terms of fuel, in terms of maintenance, depreciation, and then actually factor in the life of the car, you realize you’re paying a lot for that car,” he said. “The Tesla, there’s really no maintenance to speak of. There’s a little blue lid you put windshield washer fluid in. That’s the end of the serviceable parts.” The new station adds to those in the River City, with other chargers at the Visitor Information Centre across from Aberdeen Mall and at the Tournament Capital Centre. The Best Western hotel on Columbia Street also has two chargers for guests. While electric-vehicle owners usually plug in at home, destination charging stations help top up while in town and support longer road trips.

Cavers wants all-year service ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The wheels on the bus go round all but three days of the year in Kamloops. If Coun. Donovan Cavers is successful, they’ll soon turn for the full 365. At city council’s regular meeting today, Cavers will bring forward a motion to add bus service on Christmas, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The additional three days
would cost an estimated $15,000 for a level of service in line with what is offered on Sundays in the Tournament Capital. “For people that do rely on transit as their main or only means of transportation, having those three days is a big loss for them,” Cavers said. “I’ve had a lot of people call me, usually around those holidays, just saying how difficult it is for them to connect for their family.” Cavers said the cost for the
additional service is relatively small and noted Kelowna already offers 365-day bus service. He believes the buses would be well used on the three days. “People aren’t obviously out shopping as much because those are all stat holidays, but people will be connecting with family and friends,” Cavers said. “These are obviously very meaningful times for people and, as far as people’s quality of life, those are really important times to connect with family.”

Y Peace Medal goes to Thomas Lawyer Linda Thomas is the recipient of the 2015 Peace Medal from the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA. The Y Peace Medal recognizes the achievements of people in the community who, without any special resources, take action to build peaceful relationships locally or overseas. Thomas was chosen in recognition of her work creating the Cknúcwentn First Nations court in Kamloops, one of four in
the province. The courts take a holistic and restorative approach to justice involving the First Nations community, its elders, family members, victims, the police and the offender to create a healing plan as a sentence. “It has been my dream since law school to establish spaces within the Canadian legal system where Aboriginal people can be involved in the administration of justice,” Thomas said.
“The Cknúcwentn First Nations court is one of my dreams come true.” Thomas will receive the award on Wednesday at 5:45 p.m. at the John Tod Centre Y, 150 Wood St. in North Kamloops. People are also invited to drop off new socks to decorate the Giving Tree at all Y locations as part of the Y’s efforts to help young people stay warm this winter. More information on

Trio safe following lake rescue A 15-month-old child was among three people rescued from a grounded jet boat near the mouth of Kamloops Lake over the weekend. Kamloops Search and Rescue search manager Alan Hobler said three people — a man, a woman and a 15-month-old child — were on a boat on
Kamloops Lake on Saturday to fish. “They were coming back [to Kamloops] and they missed the channel and ended up grounding on a sand bar,” he said, noting jet boats generally perform well in shallow waters. “Most of the time they’re great in the river but, when they
go out, they go out.” Rescue crews were called at 6:45 p.m. and Hobler said the search team didn’t arrive at their location — approximately 50 feet from the channel — until 8:30 p.m. “They had a tarp, so they were able to stay dry,” he said. “They seemed quite fine.”

Kamloops is preparing for refugees
We are fortunate in Kamloops to have a variety of communities to choose from. Make a priority list in order of importance. For example, if your parents have always lived on the North Shore then you would only research the communities on the North Shore. There are many different levels of supports and amenities offered.. You will want to research the communities that appear to have the supports and the lifestyle choices that suit your needs. It is best to tour these communities over the course of a few days. It can be tiring to tour more than one in a day and the information can easily be mixed up. Schedule a visit during an event. Pay attention to the staff and how they interact with the residents. If you’re not invited to have a meal ask if that is possible. This allows you to taste the food and experience the atmosphere. Most importantly – trust yourself. Did you feel at ease, does it feel like a place that your parents could call home?

Lagace criticized the fearmongers who are expressing racist views about Muslims leaving Syria for new homes. “Real Muslims are not the people who think their god is telling them to go and kill everyone who isn’t like them,” he said. School District 73 “would welcome any refugees” into its education community, said superintendent Karl deBruijn. With a move on to bring more refugees to the province — and country — deBruijn
said children who would enter the local school system would see any issues they might have addressed. That could mean anything from supports for special needs to providing English instruction to adding staff, if that is required. DeBruijn doesn’t anticipate a need for more staff or classroom reconfiguration, however; while some school districts in the Lower Mainland are expecting to see hundreds of children entering the system once they are allowed to come to Canada, SD73 expects there might be just a few.

McLeod argued those six planes are making both an important symbolic and real contribution as support for Iraqi and Kurdish troops on the ground in the fight against ISIS, which claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks. “Our partnership with our allies should continue and we ask the prime minister to reconsider,” McLeod said.
Trudeau has stated the country will instead focus on continued training of Kurds by Canada’s military. McLeod also said she is concerned the Liberal government will make an unwise rush to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees before the end of the year — two-and-a-half times more than pledged by the United States by the end of next year. “To have an absolute deadline, many people are advising against that . . . “We need to see a plan; full security checks and balances need to be in place.”
Sensing a feeling of sadness From A1
“I drove past the stadium de France, where the person blew himself up, but there was no activity,” Langill said. Both Langill and Miltimore encountered increased security at Charles de Gaulle Airport. While Langill boarded the plane with no incident, Miltimore was stopped by security once the 20 hex keys in his bag were seen. “I had no idea I had that many of them with me,” he said of the keys used to tune and adjust the guitars he designed. Security told him they were banned because they are metal. “And, I guess, I could use them to stab someone, but the funny
thing was the knives and forks on the plane were metal,” Miltimore said. “They told me I might also use them to take something apart in the airport.” Both men commented on the tangible sorrow they could sense on the streets on the weekend. “I could sense a feeling of sadness, that France — a long strong democratic country, one of freedoms, culture, expression, art, history, the country of love and care — was damaged at the heart, in venues of human expression, that being sport, music and foodbeverage culture,” Langill said. For Miltimore, the emotions were more closely felt. The colleague with whom he was dining
on Friday when the attacks happened had two friends attending the rock concert at the Bataclan concert hall. The day after the shootings, they were still missing, but Miltimore learned later from his friend they had made contact and were safe. Another friend owned one of the restaurants attacked. Miltimore said he and his friend still had business to deal with on Saturday, so they went out to have lunch, only to find most restaurants closed. They took a subway to another area of Paris. “And, there was hardly anyone on it,” Miltimore said.

Operation Red Nose begins on Nov. 27 From A1
Operation Red Nose offers motorists who don’t feel fit to drive home after an evening out rides home in their own vehicles, which are driven by volunteers. The program is run by donation, with funds going to PacificSport, which uses the money for athlete travel grants and professional development for its coaches. Last year, the Kamloops program raised $29,000 from 1,265 rides, with 220 volunteers lending a hand. As is often the case, the city had the highest donation total of the 13 participating communities in B.C. Donation amounts have been steadily rising each year and Klassen said the goal for 2015 is to raise about $32,000. Scott Nabata, a Kamloops gymnast hoping to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Brazil, told media at a launch event Monday the travel grants and educational support he had received from PacificSport helped him succeed in national competition earlier this year.

Nabata placed second in parallel bars and fifth in high bar at the Canadian Championships in Quebec. “It has really helped me progress as an athlete,” he said. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller also praised the program for keeping residents enjoying the holiday spirit from driving drunk. “Operation Red Nose is becoming synonymous with the holiday season and I think people are getting the message and planning for a safe trip home,” Mueller said. Milobar believes the program has succeeded in Kamloops because participants want to support their community’s athletic endeavours and understand the importance of having a safe mode of transport. “I think most people want to do the right thing,” he said. Operation Red Nose will run on Nov. 27 and 28, as well as on Dec. 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 26 and 31. The program operates those nights from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. To set up a ride on those dates, call 250-372-5110.

FORCE BUSH ET AL TO FIX MESS
W
hile Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris — and similar attacks in Beirut and Baghdad — have led to various vows from various leaders to retaliate with extreme prejudice, it seems those responsible for where we are today are able to escape scrutiny. Large swaths of the Middle East are today an uncontrollable mess into which barbaric ISIS fanatics have stepped because of a hubris-filled (and illegal) decision a bit more than a decade ago to invade Iraq. In 2003, with the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. and the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan still playing out, thenU.S. president George W. Bush and then vice-president Dick Cheney used false information to invade Iraq and overthrow dictator Saddam Hussein. That criminal act has led to the enormous instability we see today as Iraq remains a basketcase and Western-influenced citizen revolutions in other countries — Libya, Syria and Egypt, to name but three — have only created more opportunity for terrorist organizations like ISIS and al-Qaeda to flourish. While Saddam Hussein, Hosni Mubarak, Muammar Gaddafi and Bashar al-Assad held power by brutal means, the flip side was regional stability and a dearth of sickening beheadings by a crazed group bent on creating a caliphate. Perhaps Prime Minister Trudeau has the right idea in withdrawing Canada’s jet fighters from the region. Perhaps the Western powers should collectively withdraw and demand Bush and Cheney step down from their comfortable lives and work with Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Qatar and other nations of dubious character to find a solution to a violent problem they largely created. Failing that, perhaps Trudeau and his fellow leaders can find a way to resettle some of the Syrian refugees on Dubya’s vast and wide-open ranch in Texas. After all, the genesis of this suffering — the migrant exodus, the Paris attacks, all of it — can be found in the mind of the former president.

Green shifts returns
W
e will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change. As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond. Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved. Dion gave a revealing interview to the Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government. “The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘Deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.” It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals considered the environment ministry a mere public-relations tool.
TOM FLECTHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress. We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated. Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty. This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets
the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change, but to eliminate poverty as well. One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And, while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices. China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public-relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent. Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline. Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre. The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-2009. Now, with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a worldwide glut of oil and gas. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THOUGHTS ON THE PARIS ATTACKS
NEVER FORGET WHO CREATED THIS HORROR Editor: In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, we must not forget how the Islamic State began in the first place. It was Dick Cheney and George W. Bush’s illegal and immoral Iraq war, in which hundreds of thousands died, that unleashed the cycle of violence that appears to have no end in sight. At the root of these conflicts are the war
profiteers, the corporations whose share prices are soaring that produce the endless supply of weapons that end up on either side of the conflicts. Canada is now part of this supply chain, with billions of dollars worth of armoured vehicles heading to Saudi Arabia thanks to Stephen Harper and his refusal to join most of the countries in the world and sign the UN Small-Arms Treaty.
With the new Justin Trudeau government in Ottawa, Canada should reconsider joining those who seek retribution for the attacks and help foster peace by encouraging the West to leave the Mideast and let the multiple Islamic factions sort out the mess themselves. The world needs to instead focus on the biggest threat of all — climate change. Jim Cooperman Lee Creek
COLLATERAL DAMAGE CAN CREATE ISIS FIGHTERS Editor: In wake of the Paris attacks, interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose has said she will fully support Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should he decide to keep the F-18s in the fight against ISIS. Militarily, the issue with bombing ISIS from the air is collateral damage. Every time we inadvertently kill innocent civilians who happen to live near ISIS fighters, we create potential recruits for ISIS. People who were resisting ISIS pressure to fight with them
have less inhibitions once they lose a loved one to a coalition or Russian air strike. In Afghanistan, innocent collateral casualties from air strikes on Taliban targets led to a very tight policy, to the point that aerial engagement of the enemy became relegated to clearly identified fighters (holding a weapon) who were well away from buildings that might contain concombatants. Strategically, while bombing the Taliban could help in “winning the war” inadvertently
bombing non-combatants, while also totally morally unacceptable, was counter-productive militarily to “winning the peace.” Most nations place national rules of engagement caveats on the use of force of their assets. Trudeau could direct a policy adjustment that restricts Canadian aircraft to targeting away from habitation areas, as became NATO policy in Afghanistan. While this would still be an annoyance to the coalition partners and a complication for the
co-ordination of air strikes, it would avoid major diplomatic and economic implications for Canada — and, with a proper explanation, would for most Canadians be seen to still meet the intention of the PM’s campaign promise. It might also see other coalition nations follow and stop ignoring the reality of the morally unacceptable and militarily counter-productive impact of collateral damage. Kevin Tyler Kamloops

THIS BATTLE IS WORTH THE FIGHT Editor: In light of the Paris attacks, I find it ironic that on the same day our new minister of national defence proclaimed there is no threat in Canada from ISIS, the tragic events unfolded in France. I guess the Liberal government believes getting out of the fight will keep us safe. Canada has a strong history both in peacekeep-
ing and standing up for what is right — and this fight is definitely worth world peace. I served in the Afghanistan War in 2001 after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. At that time, no one questioned what we had to do — not even the opposition parties. Sgt. James Babcock (ret’d) Kamloops

ON PAC VOTE, CITY SHOT ITSELF IN FOOT Editor: In the 15 years since I left Kamloops City Hall, I have not once made a public comment about any issue with which the City of Kamloops has dealt. In the aftermath of the failed performingarts centre (PAC) referendum, I feel impelled to make a few observations. I believe the referendum was doomed to failure from the outset. I do not believe the Not Yet committee had any appreciable effect on the outcome. A large and growing segment of the population is simply unable to afford the steadily increasing tax burden the city has imposed over the past number of years. This seems to be a fact lost on the part of city council. Many residents do not have incomes in the range of $100,000 — or even close. Those who are
steadily employed and well paid may not be hurt by one, two or three per cent increases year after year, but those not steadily employed, working for minimum wage or on a limited fixed income are certainly feeling the pinch. A $3 or $4 a month increase to one’s pension doesn’t buy a whole lot of groceries, nor will it pay for many days the 75 cents per day someone estimated to be the cost of the PAC proposal. Further, three news items during the weeks leading up to the vote did nothing to reassure skittish voters that the city is in the greatest financial shape or is all that skilled in handling its finances. First was the announcement the city has slipped 10 places, from 72nd to 82nd, among 152 cities whose per capita expenditure by their cities was compared.
Former Kamloops Mayor Cliff Branchflower has some ideas as to why the performing-arts centre referendum failed. KTW FILE PHOTO
To be fair, 82nd out of 152 isn’t all that much below the midpoint of the group. However, it’s going in the wrong direction and servicing a further debt load of $49 million wasn’t going to reverse that trend. Second was the announcement by a member of city staff that, despite the fact water meters — you may remember that
issue — have reduced water usage by tens of millions of litres per day in hot weather, it is very likely water rates will have to go up because of increased pumping costs. It’s costing more to pump, treat and distribute far less water than was the case before meters? Get real. Third was the announcement that the
cost of renovating a car dealership into premises for the North Shore policing office had been underestimated by about $100,000. Since the PAC proposal involved demolition of the much larger former Kamloops Daily News building, who could blame already nervous voters for not being able to place confidence in the city’s ability to appropriately estimate the cost of that part of the project? Yes, there are people who will vote against any proposal on which they have a chance to vote, but the Not Yet committee had a lot of help from the city itself as two of these new items could well be a case of the city shooting itself in the foot.

anaiah Orsetti and Emma Lizee clap their hands over the prone figure on the floor of the Westsyde secondary gymnasium, looking for a response.

The girls are among the first at Westsyde secondary to get CPR and defibrillator training through the Advanced Coronary Treatment (ACT) Foundation, a charitable organization that gives high school students across Canada the opportunity to learn lifesaving skills.

Squash courts saga continues MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
K
amloops Tennis Association president Danielle Wilson has hit the first serve in a move that has potential to change the city’s racquet sports scene. She approached Kamloops Squash Association president Eric Valdal with the idea of erecting squash courts at the Kamloops Tennis Centre (758 Front St.). “I knew the history of the squash club having, as Eric Valdal said, ‘The dark years,’ when there were no courts,” Wilson said. “Knowing that and knowing there is a small membership of squash players, hence the reason
for some of the instability and, similarly, with the tennis club facing a declining membership, what I’m looking to do is diversify the tennis club to be a racquet club, so it supports a larger membership.” No Limits Fitness on the North Shore is home to the city’s only two operational squash courts, but part-owner Andrew Watson said one of those is likely to be removed. “I told the [KSA] guys, if we can get numbers up, we’ll keep it,” Watson said. “But, the gym is so busy right now and people are complaining they want more space. I’ve got two courts that for five months of the year they basically sit empty. That’s a huge waste of space. “We told them we might close

one of the courts down and turn it into a 24-hour powerlifting room.” Wilson emphasized talks with the KSA, which operates out of No Limits, are in their infancy. “The next step for him [Valdal] was to bring that discussion to the squash AGM, to talk about partnership and seeking some permanent courts, so that the squash club can run and operate on the tennis club land. The squash club might very well say no,” she said. “Then, we’d have to go to the city and seek their support because the land the tennis club is on right now is owned by the city. “The big challenge would be looking for money to build squash courts. This would be a long-term project, anywhere
from two to five years.” The KSA’s board of directors has not yet had time to discuss Wilson’s proposal. “We’re a non-profit organization working with the owners of the existing courts in town to maximize their use and promote the game; however, our vision compels us to consider any options that may allow growth in the sport,” Valdal said. Squash’s “dark years” in Kamloops began in the summer of 2008, when Racquetor Courts and Fitness on McGill Road closed its doors. Malone’s on 8th and its squash courts followed suit in May of 2010.

became the only place to knock the little rubber ball around until it closed in 2012. Darren and Maria Maywood and Andrew and Lisa Watson purchased Malone’s on 8th and transformed it into No Limits, which opened in January of 2013. Watson reported a decline in squash membership at No Limits in 2013 and 2014, but said “we haven’t looked at the numbers this year, but we have a feeling they are a little better than they were the last year or two. I’m hoping that continues.” The KSA has a Wednesday night fall league that sees 32 players compete in eight divisions from October to December.

WolfPack’s No. 1 fan ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
In a decade, Glen Burrell has missed maybe a handful of WolfPack games at Thompson Rivers University. Whether it’s basketball or volleyball, baseball or soccer, the 80-year-old Burrell is in the front row of the crowd every night, his WolfPack hat and shirt proudly displayed, his No. 1 fan jacket on even indoors. “It’s just that I thoroughly enjoy it,” Burrell told KTW as he watched the WolfPack

women’s volleyball team dispatch of the Brandon Bobcats in straight sets on Friday night. “The guys and gals are all just fantastic. They’re like family to me. They really are.” Burrell first came to Kamloops in 1972. A Winnipeg native — or “Winterpeg” as he prefers to call it — he worked at Weyerhauser for 25 years before retiring in the late 1990s. His introduction to the WolfPack came during his retirement. A regular walker on the Tournament Capital Centre’s track, Burrell became more and more enamoured with TRU sports and the school’s athletes as he lapped the TCC. Before long, he was volunteering at games,
helping retrieve balls at practices, talking with players whenever they had a moment to spare. “It just stuck to me,” Burrell said. He now knows nearly every player on every WolfPack team. But, perhaps more telling is the players know him, too. The No. 1 fan jacket he so proudly wears was a gift from the WolfPack women’s volleyball team — a thank you for his years of dedicated support. On the shoulder, the number 80, his age when they gave it to him, stands large. “Nobody has enough money to buy this from me, no sir,” Burrell said with a smile. After every volleyball match or basket-
ball game, Burrell can be found off sharing a word with a player or a laugh with a coach or another fan. It’s not just the games he talks about with the players — though those holds a special place for him, too — it’s their lives. “I would say he’s the unofficial grandpa of TRU athletics,” said Katie Woo, a fourthyear setter who hails from Surrey. “He knows almost every player on a really personal level, is willing to drive people home or is willing to come pick you up if you ever need anything.” Woo said Burrell was one of the first people she met when she moved to Kamloops to attend Thompson Rivers University. He was a friendly face in the front row — always seat No. 36 — even when the WolfPack women’s volleyball team had lost more than 40 consecutive matches. “It’s pretty special and I think it speaks to the kind of community Kamloops is,” Woo said. “He’s definitely that person that wants to connect with you one-on-one. It’s nice to have a familiar face right off the bat, even when you don’t feel like you know anyone.”
Burrell’s attention isn’t just devoted to the players. His praise quickly turns to the coaches and the athletics staff, even the officials who manage the games he’s so fond of watching every week. He knows the fans, too, many of whom are WolfPack alumni he watched on the courts or on the fields in days gone by. “They love him here,” said Camilla Dahl, division assistant for TRU athletics, who sits with Burrell almost every night. “It’s not just the players he knows. He knows the people in the audience. They’ve come to know him — parents of all the athletes — they’ll come up and shake his hand and say, ‘Hi Glen.’ “He can’t always remember who they are, but he’ll know whose parent that is.” Watching the women’s volleyball team Friday, Burrell joked about having his name printed on his regular seat to reserve it. Though, in reality, no one would dare sit in it. It’s reserved for the WolfPack’s unofficial grandpa and has been for 10 years. “I feel like one of them. I really do,” Burrell said. “It makes me feel good.”

Gilbert commits to NCAA school ADAM WILLIAMS
Colin Gilbert of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club will take to the water for the Denver Pioneers.
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Another Kamloops Classic Swimming club athlete is leaving the Tournament Capital to continue his career. Colin Gilbert, one of the program’s most dominant swimmers throughout his tenure in Kamloops, has committed to the University of Denver and will develop in the NCAA. A Division One sports institution, Kamloops native Jeremy Bosher also attends the University of Denver, where he plays field lacrosse for the Pioneers. “Great opportunity,” Classics head coach Brad Dalke said of Gilbert’s commitment. “It’s a dream of his to go down and swim in the U.S., he’s got a really good scholarship down there and he’s going to a distance program that produces finalists in the NCAA. So, it’s a really good opportunity.” Gilbert’s list of accolades is long. He recently competed for Canada at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing,
China, where he finished 18th in the 800-metre freestyle with a time of 8:20.43 and 25th in the 400m freestyle. He also represented Canada at the Australian Age Championships, winning two bronze medals. “I chose the University of Denver because it fulfilled both my academic and athletic ambitions both on campus and back in Canada,” Gilbert said in a release from the Classics. “The university and swim program have many benefits as well as a dedicated and amazing coaching staff.” Throughout his time in Kamloops, Gilbert has gar-
nered headlines. He grabbed a silver medal in the 800m freestyle at the Canadian Senior National Swimming Championships in 2015 and set club records in the 100m and 400m freestyles. At the Canadian Swimming Trials in April, the gateway to competing for the Canadian Olympic team, Gilbert snagged a pair of top10 results — seventh in the 800m freestyle, fifth among Canadian swimmers, and 13th in the 1,500m freestyle, 10th among Canadians — and was also ninth in the B final of the 400m freestyle, fifth among Canadians. It was an exceptional
performance for one of the event’s youngest swimmers. Gilbert is the second highprofile Classics swimmer to commit to a university program this month — Megan Dalke signed on with the UBC Thunderbirds last week. Dalke, who is also the head coach of the Thompson Rivers WolfPack swimming team, said the Kamloopsbased university was a consideration for Gilbert, as it was for his daughter Megan, but in the end, Gilbert decided on a different option. “Our program is always an option for these kids,” Dalke said. “The good thing about our program is — whether it be Megan, Colin, whomever — they’ve had great development here. So, they all feel really confident and comfortable and really good with our program. “They always know they have this in their back pocket so to speak. They’re out there looking and shopping and they can be selective and choosey. They’re not in a situation where they have to take anything.”

NATIONAL SPORTS Panthers producing points
STEVE REED
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cam Newton has plenty of reasons to celebrate these days — the Carolina Panthers are unbeaten and the offence is rolling. And, while some opponents may not be particularly fond of the fifth-year quarterback’s touchdown celebra tions, Newton doesn’t seem to care. “I’m a firm believer if you don’t like me to do it, then don’t let me in’’ the end zone, Newton said after his touchdown dance on Sunday in Carolina’s 27-10 win over the Tennessee Titans. That’s been a prob lem for defences this season. The Panthers (9-0) have scored at least 27 points in seven straight games — and at least
20 points in all nine games. Carolina has won 13 straight regular season games dating back to last season and holds a two-game lead in the race for homefield advantage in the NFC entering Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins. Panthers’ coach Ron Rivera attributes some of the offence’s success to how coordinator Mike Shula has used the fifth-year quarterback since the latter part of last season, including running more of the no-huddle offence. Rivera said Shula has allowed Newton to use his abilities and the players in the offence. Newton has six TDs
rushing this season. He celebrated his latest score by doing a dance called “the dab,’’ which drew the ire of some Tennessee defenders, including linebacker Avery Williamson. When Williamson came walking toward Newton in the end zone, the quarterback danced some more. Rivera said he doesn’t mind Newton dancing “as long as it’s not overly outlandish and there is a respect for manners. As long as he’s not taunting them. I think he’s doing it for our fans.’’ Said Newton: “I try to make my game kidlike so people will see that I’m enjoying what I do. . . . I’m not doing it to be disrespectful to nobody, more so just doing it just to shine light and get people a smile and having fun
doing what I do.’’ There is plenty to celebrate in Carolina, for sure. While Newton’s quarterback rating is 31st in the league — three spots behind Johnny Manziel — he has the Panthers offence on a roll. Carolina is averaging 28.3 points per game — fourth-best in the NFL — and is third in the league in rushing behind Jonathan Stewart and Newton, who has run for 366 yards and six TDs. The Panthers have scored touchdowns on 60 per cent of their trips inside the opponent’s 20-yard line, up from 48.1 per cent last season. “We’re scoring touchdowns instead of field goals,’’ Shula said. And celebrating along the way.
De Guzman to set Canadian record TUESDAY NEIL DAVIDSON

Julian de Guzman won his first Canadian cap almost 14 years ago, a late addition to the 2002 Gold Cup squad after Garret Kusch was injured. “I still have my debut jersey. You could still see the print of Kusch’s name on my jersey with de Guzman over it,’’ he recalled with a chuckle Now Canada’s captain, the 35-year-old de Guzman is making his own mark. Tonight, the midfielder is set to surpass Paul Stalteri’s men’s record of 84 caps as Canada continues its World Cup soccer qualifying campaign in El Salvador.

Three will eventually book their tickets to the 2018 World Cup in Russia while the fourthplace finisher meets an Asian team in a playoff to see who joins them. Canada opened the current round with a stylish 1-0 win over Honduras on Friday in Vancouver. El Salvador, its top players absent due to a dispute with the national federation, was beaten 3-0 in Mexico. De Guzman believes this Canadian squad, with its blend of experience and youth, has the talent to do some damage. “This particular squad, when you look at it on paper, it’s definitely one of the best teams put together in a long time.’’ The addition of David (Junior) Hoilett paid immediate dividends against Honduras as the Queens Park Rangers winger was a threat all night. De Guzman said this squad

has the most potential since the 2007 Gold Cup team, beaten 2-1 by the U.S. in the semifinals after a late Canadian tying goal was controversially waved off. “I think we’re not just as good but even better,’’ said de Guzman, who was named MVP at the 2007 tournament. De Guzman said he had the same feeling against Honduras on Friday as he did at the 2007 Gold Cup — the belief and confidence that Canada was going to win the game. De Guzman made his senior debut off the bench in January 2002 in a somewhat inglorious quarter-final penalty shootout win over lowly Martinique in Miami’s Orange Bowl. Despite the result, the midfielder still savours the memory. “It was a massive feeling. And I still feel the same way every time I get a chance to put the jersey on. It hasn’t changed one bit.’’

She was witness to her faith, active in her parish outreach programs, hospital auxiliary palliative care support volunteer and various senior support groups, as well animal activist groups.
Joseph Martin (Marty) Kimmerly, was born in Edmonton, AB on August 15, 1946 to Joseph and Eva Kimmerly. Marty started his career with the Canadian National Railway at the age of seventeen while attending U of A and obtaining his B. of Commerce degree. In 1969, he moved to Vancouver and briefly worked for General Foods, but returned to the railway where he worked as a switchman, brakeman, and conductor until age 55. He then began working for the Rocky Mountaineer and later the Kelowna Pacific Railway until retirement at age 67. Marty met his wife Linda in 1972 and they married in 1974. They moved to Kamloops (McLure) where they built a log home and raised their two daughters Andrea and Mandy. After ten years they moved to Rayleigh and eventually Valleyview.
Mickey was never one to sit on the side lines and her wish would be to speak for those whose voice is silent. “I do for those who cannot.”
Marty passed away October 29, 2015 after three years treatment with colon cancer. He is survived by his loving wife Linda and daughters Andrea and Mandy, as well as four siblings, Larry, Colleen, Patricia and John.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Humane Society or the SPCA or volunteer for a community outreach program.
We wish to thank the staff and volunteers at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice House for their care and support.
A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, November 14, 2015 at 3:00 pm at the St. Georges Anglican Church, with Rev. Isabel Healy-Morrow officiating.
He will be lovingly remembered by his family and friends, and will be in our hearts forever.

CLIFFORD GEORGE WHARTON Sadly, we announce the passing of our dad, Cliff Wharton on November 5, 2015 at the age of 83. Cliff was born in Penticton on May 20, 1932 and was recently predeceased by his wife of 62 years, Leah. He also was predeceased by his parents Eric and Emma Wharton and his niece Belinda Souder. Dad leaves behind his daughter Sherrie (Hans) Lind, son Gary (Valerie) Wharton, and sister Joy (Bruce) Wisbey. Dad enjoyed the visits with his four grandchildren, Angela (Steven) Turner, Tim (Melanie) Lind, Kelsie (Matthew) Davis and Marlyse (Justin) Harrison along with his eight greatgrandchildren, Emily, Jacob, Faith, Seth, Samuel, Clark, Flynn and Gwen. Dad spent his early years working for International Harvester and then James Western Star as a parts man. He prided himself on the fact that he knew every part number there was and never had to refer to a catalog. Dad decided to retire at 40 and with mom at his side they set out to ‘live off the land’. For the next 40 years they would buy and clear land, build homes and move again. We used to call them gypsies as they rarely stayed in one place for more than a couple of years before they would get itchy to start on another adventure! During the winter months Dad would try new hobbies and was a frequent craft fair vendor with his stain glass creations, leather crafts, lapidary work and scroll saw designs. But he was the happiest when he could be outside working on his land and of course that meant the best tractor he could afford! Dad and mom also spent many, many years as vendors at various Farmers’ Markets in Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Enderby, Armstrong and Vernon. Rest in peace Dad. We take comfort in knowing you are riding your favourite tractor, tilling those heavenly gardens and at peace with those that you have lost these past years. Upon Dad’s request there will be no funeral service. Cremation arrangements entrusted to North Thompson Funeral and Drake Cremation Services. Condolences may be sent on-line at www.NTFuneral.com

Albert Bossert (Age 83) passed away peacefully after a brief illness on November 10, 2015; he will be dearly missed. Our father was born in Hoffnungstal, Bessarabia on October 5, 1932 to Alexander and Lydia Bossert. Dad learned his trade in Cabinetry while growing up in Germany. He built many decks and fences for family and himself, and his attention to detail and quality workmanship was unparalleled. Dad immigrated to Canada in August 1951 when he was just 18 years of age. After arriving in Quebec, and spending a short time in Saskatchewan, he found his way west and settled in Kamloops. Dad was employed with Balco Industries in Heffley Creek (later Canfor and Tolko) for 37 years, where he was an expert in his field and well respected by his peers. In the 1950’s dad excelled at soccer, and was an asset to the Kamloops United Soccer team for several years. While raising his kids, dad always enjoyed playing pinochle, various card games, backgammon, ping pong and bowling. In his later years, he enjoyed watching Jeopardy and doing crossword puzzles. Our father is survived by his three children: Connie (Brad) Bossert, Aldergrove, BC; Curtis (Linette) Bossert, Kamloops, BC; Carey (Christina) Bossert, Langley, BC; his brother Otto (Louise) Bossert, Auburn, WA; his sister Nelly (Reinhard) Kesting, Bünde, Germany; his grandchildren Riley, Alexander, Lindsay, Megan, Clay, Cole, Cayla, and Cassidy.

BRUCE MERVYN SMITH
FLEURETTE PRESCOTT MURRAY
1920 - 2015
August 8, 1956 - November 5, 2015
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, Bruce Mervyn Smith, on November 14, 2015 in Kamloops, B.C, just two weeks after his 95th birthday. Bruce passed peacefully at Hospice House with his wife, Ann, by his side. His family appreciates the care, kindness and compassion of the Hospice staff and volunteers shown to Bruce and his loved ones during his stay. Bruce is lovingly remembered by his wife Ann; daughters Pam (Dick, granddaughters Teresa and Adrienne); Karen (Fred, grandchildren Sheldon and Julia); Sandi (David, grandsons Ian and Connor); Chelsea (Alex, grandsons Simon and Reid); step daughters, Chris (Mike) and Wendy and their children. He was predeceased by his first wife, Wendy, and brothers, Gordon and Laurence. Bruce was born in Portsmouth, England and came to Canada at age two to settle with his family in Portage La Prairie. He began his love of woodworking at the hands of his father, the local cabinet maker and undertaker. He joined the RCAF in 1943, was stationed in Leeming, Yorkshire, and flew 35 bombing raids as a flight engineer with Squadron 427. Returning to Vancouver after the war, he met and married Wendy Dyson. With their growing family, they moved to Kamloops in 1953 where he owned and operated City Auto Trim and Upholstery. He later sold the business to pursue his passion of teaching. At age 39, he returned to complete high school and went on to earn his Bachelor of Education from UBC in 1971. Bruce was a respected educator and fondly remembered by former students as their favourite teacher. As a principal, he was highly regarded by staff, students and parents. After retirement, Bruce’s enthusiasm for fishing with his friend, Phil, and for woodworking kept his days filled. Grandfather clocks, decorative boxes, cutting boards, and other pieces were lovingly created and treasured by friends and family. Bruce met Ann through their volunteer work at Hospice and they enjoyed many happy years together. Ann’s love and support of Bruce through his final months was truly appreciated by his family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice House in Bruce’s name. A private celebration of life will be held in June on Father’s Day.

It is with great sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of Fleurette Prescott (Murray) at home in Slave Lake, AB at the young age of 59. Left to cherish her memories are her long time partner Daniel Gallant, her mother Roseline Prescott, her niece Meaghan (Chris), two nephews Jeremy and Tanner and her first granddaughter Makenna and her sweet dog Chico. Fleurette was born in St. Lazarre, MB and spent her adolescent years in Brandon, MB before moving to Winnipeg, MB. After the passing of her sister Suzette, her and Daniel moved to Vernon, BC to be closer to family. Fleurette was a hard working and dedicated lady, who helped all those around her. She worked many years at Boniface Clinic in MB before switching over to helping people with disabilities find jobs. When she moved to BC, she worked at the clinic in Armstrong before moving to Slave Lake, AB, where she followed a new path working at Cornwall. Fleurette loved doing crafts, baking, and cooking. She had hundreds of cookbooks! One hobby in particular she and Daniel loved was attending meat draws, but what really put a smile on her face was seeing pictures of Makenna everyday. Fleurette loved to wear black, always had her jewelry on and had a love for dragonflies. Fleurette will be greatly missed for her unmistakable laughter, the love she had for all those around her and a smile that can’t be forgotten. Fleurette was a remarkable aunt, nana and best friend. She will forever be in our minds and hearts. A Private gathering was held on Saturday, November 14, 2015 at Hillside Cemetery in Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Fleurette’s name may be made to the RIH Foundation towards cancer care.

TO ALL PARENTS ... By Edgar Guest “I’ll lend you for a little time A child of Mine” He said, “For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the wide world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain, Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run. We’ll shelter him with tenderness. We’ll love him while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay. And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

NATIONAL NEWS CANADIAN FALSELY IDENTIFIED AS PARIS TERRORIST MAN WATCHES NAME, IMAGE BECOME GLOBAL ONLINE TRENDING TOPIC
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — A Canadian man is defending his name and reputation after he was falsely depicted as one of the masterminds of Friday’s deadly attacks in Paris. Veerender Jubbal took to Twitter after an altered photo of him began surfacing in international media with captions identifying him as a terrorist. A Spanish newspaper, La Razon, has since apologized for running the doctored picture. The original image of Jubbal was a selfie that showed him posing in his bathroom with the iPad in his hand that was used to take the photograph. But, it was manipulated to show him wearing a suicide vest and holding a Qu’ran. Jubbal tweeted the image made its way onto the front page of La Razon with a caption identifying him as one
. . . Millions “upon millions
of people have seen the photoshopped images, and have placed me as a terrorist.
”
of the suicide bombers that stormed the French capital on Friday, killing at least 129 people and injuring scores of others. He says it wasn’t long before people around the world, including family members in India, had seen the image and reached out to let him know about it. In addition to defending his name, Jubbal also criticized the photoshoppers for mistaking a Sikh for a member of the Islamic State, which has claimed responsibility for the co-ordinated attacks in Paris.
“In gauging this entire incident — millions upon millions of people have seen the photoshopped images, and have placed me as a terrorist,’’ Jubbal tweeted, adding the “strange’’ situation has him pondering suing newspapers that published the altered image. The case highlights how vulnerable today’s online citizens are, said Melonie Dodaro, a Kelowna-based social media consultant. Even non-controversial content can become dangerous in the wrong hands, she pointed out. “The Internet’s the Wild, Wild West,’’ she said. “There are not a lot of things you can do to protect yourself.’’ Jubbal retweeted messages of support that decry the picture’s potential consequences. “Portraying Veeren Jubbal as a terrorist puts his life at risk, ruins his reputation. This is online terrorism,’’ wrote one Twitter user. Others openly mused
about the racial mix-up and wondered whether they could be subjected to similarly arbitrary typecasting. “As a white European living in England, should I worry that I have recently grown a beard?’’ another Twitter user asked him. Other tweets documented some of the backlash that came Jubbal’s way after the picture first surfaced. “Can’t believe people told [Veerender Jubbal] one way of avoiding being photoshopped to look like a terrorist is to not post selfies online.’’ Jubbal wrote he watched his name and image become a globally trending topic on social media, adding that other publications besides the Spanish newspaper had reprinted the image. Amid the social media posts detailing the incident, Jubbal issued a message to those who altered the image. “Learn the difference between me being a Sikh and a Muslim,’’ he wrote.

TORONTO — A clinical trial has found that a simple drug regimen delivered over 12 weeks achieved sustained eradication of several strains of hepatitis C in 99 per cent of patients treated with the medications, researchers reported yesterday. Their study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that receiving a once-daily combination of sofosbuvir-velpatasvir for a 12-week period was effective in both previously treated and never-treated patients with hepatitis C genotypes 1, 2, 4, 5 or 6. “This drug regimen changes the standard of care in treating patients with HCV. We can now cure almost everyone with a very simple treatment,’’ said lead researcher Dr. Jordan Feld, a liver specialist at Toronto Western Hospital. Current approved treatments for chronic HCV are not equally effective in combating the virus’ different forms. Testing to
often don’t appear until the liver is severely damaged. Left undiagnosed, the infection can lead to cirrhosis, which can progress to liver failure or liver cancer. The virus is primarily spread through blood and is associated with IV drug use, contact with poorly sterilized medical equipment, and blood transfusions before 1992. “Knowing which treatment to use for which patient required expertise, which made it much more difficult for non-specialists to treat hepatitis C,’’ Feld said by email. “There are simply not enough specialists to treat all of the 250,000 to 400,000 infected Canadians.’’ With the single tablet that is effective for all strains of the virus, it’s hoped that family doctors, internists and nurses will step in to treat hepatitis C, particularly in rural and underserved areas, he said. “We are now on a path where elimination of hepatitis C from Canada actually starts to become a realistic goal.’’
Signs have turkeys crossing road instead of landing on windshields THE CANADIAN PRESS
CASTLEGAR — Wild turkeys in Castlegar have a way to cross the road and get to the other side. A flock of about 30
turkeys has been causing traffic troubles in the West Kootenay town for about a year and a half, said Coun. Sue Heaton-Sherstobitoff. “Basically, people were driving and slam-
ming on their brakes because two, three, four times a day, they cross the road, I guess to go feed or to do whatever turkeys do,’’ she said. The crossings caused minor fender-

determine the particular genetic makeup — or genotype — of the virus has been required before treatment could be started. But Feld said the combination of sofosbuvir-velpatasvir has been shown to work on all strains of hepatitis C virus, effectively eliminating the need for this testing, which often delayed treatment. The drug combination was investigated in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial at 81 sites in eight different countries. After 12 weeks, 99 per cent of the 624 patients given sofosbuvirvelpatasvir were virus-free three months after completing treatment. None of the 116 patients receiving a placebo had the same result. “This is truly a one-size-fitsall treatment that is very easy to administer and extremely welltolerated,’’ said Feld. “Our challenge now is getting treatment to those who need it. Over half of people living with hepatitis C remain undiagnosed.’’ Chronic HCV is known as a silent killer because symptoms

You know, they’re big birds, right? “And, if you just hit them a certain way, they could fly up and do that,’’ HeatonSherstobitoff said. When they became a safety issue, council put up signs to warn drivers. “We think we’ve got a great turkey picture there. And if it makes people happy or makes them slow down there, then we did a good job for a couple of hundred bucks,’’ HeatonSherstobitoff said. The signs were installed on Columbia Avenue about two weeks ago and so far, they’re working. “People told me last week that the turkeys are actually crossing right below the signs,’’ Heaton-Sherstobitoff said. “So the big joke now is that turkeys in Castlegar know how to read, so that’s where they’re crossing.’’

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT WESTERN CANADA THEATRE’S UPCOMING PRODUCTION HAS A FEW SURPRISES
The music behind Mary Poppins

A
udiences for Western Canada Theatre’s upcoming Mary Poppins might be surprised if they got a peak into the orchestra
pit. It might sound like there are 75 musicians down below the Sagebrush Theatre stage — but there are only three. There’s Marek Norman on the main keyboard. Then there’s Nick Apivor on an octo-pad, which Norman described as a large semi-circle of drum pads programmed to play a variety of percussion sounds. And then, there’s Andrew St. Hilaire, also on keyboards — but his have been programmed to sound
like 75 different instruments. While Norman described himself as the constant in the musical, his two colleagues “are doing all the colour,” taking the audience through songs that, for most of them, are embedded into the memory cells. But this production isn’t the version of Mary Poppins that Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke created. While much of the music is the same, the play, adapted by Cameron Mackintosh from the P. L. Travers books, is the “much more mature” lives of the Banks family. Mackintosh, the British producer behind musicals including Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera, Oliver! and Cats, obtained the rights for the stage production from Travers when he met with the aging author and told her he saw the story about the redemption of the family father. That observation — and the fact
Travers fought with Walt Disney while he was making the film — sealed the deal because it was at the heart of her stories, drawn from her own experience with a father who became an alcoholic and died when she was seven. In the stories, as Mary takes her charges to meet Bert and the Bird Woman, Mr. Banks loses his job, becomes depressed — but, in the end, everything works out, the family unit is happy and Mary Poppins flies away. Don’t ask Norman if she really flies, however. “I’m not allowed to say,” he replied. The production, which opens in previews on Nov. 26 — the official opening is Nov. 28 — includes one of the largest casts WCT has had, including young local actors Quentin Clark as Michael and Sarah Baughn as Jane.
FREE WINTER TIRES!
“We have only the best moments of the show” in this production, Norman said. Director Daryl Cloran edited out a couple of scenes he felt were too dark, creating a show Norman said is a joy to work on. “When you come together, when you start rehearsals, it’s the most exciting thing,” Norman said. “Every day, we see a little magic happening — and it will be magical when it happens on stage.” Mary Poppins runs from Nov. 26 to Dec. 8. Show times are 7:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday — that is a new time for the Wednesday and Thursday performances — and 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. There are 2 p.m. matinees on Nov. 28 and Dec. 5. Tickets are $35 each but there are family packs available by calling the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

DO I NEED AN ANTIBIOTIC?
This week is “world antibiotic awareness week”. We have a lot of misinformation about antibiotic usage: for example, research confirming the actual length of Dr. Preety Desai time that antibiotics should be used or finished once prescribed? First, antibiotics can only treat bacterial infections not viral or fungal infections - which is the majority of the reason people go to walk in clinics to “get an antibiotic”. If you simply have bronchitis, you are totally wasting your time and money going to a walk in clinic for antibiotics. On the contrary, if you have pneumonia or a urinary tract infection leading to bladder or kidney issues then an antibiotic is indicated. In fact if you take any antibiotic, you are at risk for side effects such as diarrhea, allergic reactions and anaphylaxis - thus antibiotics are NOT harmless by any means. But more importantly you are one step closer to bacterial resistance and if you REALLY need an antibiotic for a serious infection, your choices of drugs and their efficacy are seriously reduced. Recent European research showed the #1 predictor of being prescribed antibiotics was based on the patient WANTING an antibiotic as opposed the advice of the prescribing doctor. It is totally natural to want an antibiotic based on our past experience: if we got better on own from the viral infection naturally but coincidentally happened to be taking an antibiotic, then we think that we got better because of the antibiotic. A better scenario is to be swabbed at the point of care like they are doing in Alberta to reign in the unnecessary prescribing. Most sore throats are viral but in case of streptococcus infection, antibiotics are indicated and this is where swabbing would deter unnecessary prescriptions This new era of antibiotic resistance is being called the “apocalypse of resistance” and we are already seeing this with MRSA’s in hospitals. New research into new antibiotics is not being done as pharmaceutical companies make more profit from life time usage drugs such as cholesterol lowering agents and thus there is not much coming down the pipeline with new antibiotics. As far as patients claiming “penicillin allergy” as a child - this must be investigated today to see if this is indeed true - because research shows that 90% of people who are “allergic” are truly NOT. If you are truly allergic to penicillin, another 15 other drugs are also off limits and so the second choice family of drugs which likely a poorer choice with less efficacy and more side effects. As far as dental infections - by the time you get one, most likely you have been ignoring all the early nuanced signs and symptoms and full blow infection is painful and isolated. Because dental abscesses are harder to reach and take time to settle, relief may not be quick. Of course, penicillin is one of the best dental antibiotics because of the common oral bacteria causing dental infections. Definitive treatment as opposed to postponing things will reduce bone loss which is associated with dental infection 100% of the time! So think twice before considering an antibiotic unless there is a definitive reason that you will benefit from it according to your health care professional and never delay dental treatment.

Physiotherapy DRY NEEDLING / IMS
Trigger points, often a component of muscle & fascia pain syndrome, are irritable, hard ‘knots’ within a muscle that may cause pain over a large area. Dry needling may release the tight muscle bands and decrease pain. IMS (Intra-Muscular Stimulation) is a treatment technique that uses fine solid needles (acupuncture-like needles) to treat tight, shortened, tensed-up muscles, muscle bands which are contributing towards abnormal function of the nervous system.

When Ingrid Caines was treated for cancer, the staff at Royal Inland Hospital started to feel like an extended family to her and her husband Bob. He described the relationship as fantastic, one that helped his wife as she was treated for — and ultimately died from — cancer. Bob said Ingrid wanted to leave a legacy to the hospital and there was some talk about buying equipment but it was in conversation with Janice McDonald, a nurse in the RIH cancer ward when his wife decided her legacy would be art. “Janice said we spent all that money on a new ward but they were faced with just bare walls,” Bob said of the hospital clinic. “A light went on and Ingrid starting looking for an artist.” She start picking works but died before she could complete the project so Bob took it on, working alongside the RIH Foundation staff. One of the biggest challenges was this was the first time anyone had donated art to the hospital so permission was required. Once the OK was received, the paintings were donated in an informal presentation and continue to brighten the walls of the clinic today.

As has been the case in previous years, everything from jewelry to small furnishings will be available, as well as sweets, small toys, home decor items and books, among others. The event is staffed by volunteers from around the community. It affords Tournament Capital residents the opportunity to support craftspeople in developing countries while purchasing distinct, highquality gifts in a festive atmosphere. The Kamloops United Church is located at 421 St. Paul St. For more information, contact Anita Strong at 250-377-0055 or by email at dnastrong1@gmail.com.
SUPPORT FOR SICK KIDS: Journeyman mechanic Trenton Moniuk (left) and Kamloops Street Rod Association member Yvonne Pasjack celebrate a fundraising event that saw $737 raised to go towards the children’s ward at Royal Inland Hospital earlier this month at City Centre Auto Service. The funds were raised from the Kamloops Street Rod Association’s 20th annual Pumpkin Run on Sept. 27, seeing nearly 200 hot rods and club members take part in the fun event.

DICE
The sum of two six-sided dice rolled together is used in many games for moves. Some games use other die roll combinations for various purposes. For many of these, it is fairly easy to figure out their distributions and averages. Some are a bit more difficult — like this puzzle’s. What is the average of best three out of four six-sided dice rolled together? (Roll four six-sided dice and take the sum of the three highest dice. If there is a tie for lowest value, just disregard only one of the dice.) The answer to this math quiz will be printed in this space one week from today. A prize will be awarded via a random draw among correct entries. Send your answer to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Deadline: 4 p.m. Friday, November 20th
