PATENT NO LONGER PENDING

Riversong Guitars CEO and founder Mike Miltimore celebrates news that his company has been nominated and shortlisted for the second year in a row for the Music Merchandise Review Award for Best Acoustic Guitar and MMR Product of the Year. The guitar getting all the attention is the new Riversong Tradition 2 Performer Grand Auditorium. As well, the Riversong Guitar has now become internationally patented — a status that allowed the company to move into the Asian market with a stronger position.

Buying station competes with cattle auction CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Veteran local cattle buyers are taking a run at the Interior’s traditional cattle auctions by setting up a competing “buying station” that allows ranchers to sell direct.

Western Livestock Marketing Solutions is setting up its buying station several kilometres east of the B.C. Livestock Producers Co-op yard off the Trans-Canada Highway in Campbell Creek.

Its two major shareholders — Mark Canart and Mike Nikolaisen — are veteran cattle buyers who work at auction rings around the Interior.

The move comes after closure of cattle sales at Valley Auction in Spallumcheen.

“We think there’s too many cattle to run through the facility in Kamloops, but not enough for two sales barns,” said Aaron Canart, who is also involved in Western Livestock Marketing.

Rather than setting price by auction, Western Livestock Marketing will make a direct deal with

ranchers, doing away with the time and expense of shipping cattle to the auction ring.

“We say, ‘This is what the cattle is worth.’ If they like it, we write them a cheque,” Canart said, noting operators will also continue as buyers at auctions run by B.C. Livestock Producers Co-op.

B.C. Livestock Producers Co-op operates auction rings in Okanagan Falls, Vanderhoof, Williams Lake and Kamloops. It began more than 70 years ago as a co-operative venture among ranchers looking to get a fair price and guaranteed payout — what Barriere rancher and Co-op board member Ed Salle called an alternative to “a guy with a pickup and a chequebook” that operated at the time.

Salle said Canart and Nikolaisen are respected cattle buyers who understand the business.

He is unsure how the direct buyer will compete with B.C. Livestock in Kamloops, which has increased its sales hours as a result of the end of sales at Valley Auction.

Kevin Boon, general manager of B.C.

PSYCHIATRIC NURSING In response to an overwhelming demand for Psychiatric Nurses throughout BC, particularly outside the Lower Mainland, Stenberg College has offered its online-based Psychiatric Nursing diploma program since 2006. The only program of its kind in Canada, this innovative program allows students to do the majority of their coursework as well as their clinical placements and practicum in their local communities.

DIPLOMA PROGRAM

• Wages range from $30.70 - $40.42 / hour • Recognized by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC) • Articulation agreement with Thompson Rivers University (TRU-OL) allows our graduates to complete a Bachelor of Health Sciences degree You may be eligible for government student loans, grants, bursaries & loan forgiveness.

Cattlemen’s Association, said the buying station is a welcome addition to the regional business, particularly with no more cattle auctions at Valley Auction.

“There’s slack to take up there . . . It’s another tool in the tool box for producers to market their cattle,” Boon said. “We’re very much a free market system.”

The buying station will feature cattle pens and a weigh scale.

Canart anticipates the best draw for the alternative marketer will be from small ranchers in the Armstrong and Lumby areas who no longer have access to Valley Auction.

He said they will continue to purchase the majority of animals at the auction ring.

“It’s not our intention to run the Co-op out of business . . . Our primary business is to buy cattle at auction.”

The development comes as prices for cattle have fallen by about one-third from highs reached several years ago.

New South Kam secondary No. 1 on SD73’s agenda Kamloops-Thompson board of education trustees will be told on Monday that replacing South Kamloops secondary remains a priority.

The second priority in the long-term facilities report is putting an addition on Westmount elementary.

No. 3 on the list is a new school for Pineview Valley, but also on the must-do list are replacements for A.E. Perry, Beattie, Kay Bingham, Marion

Schilling and Raft River elementary schools.

On Wednesday, KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone met with SD73 trustees to discuss the issue.

The long-term facilities report also notes interim measures to deal with over-capacity in many schools means 11 more portables will be needed at South Shore secondary schools, two more at Westmount, about

10 more in the southwest sector schools and two more at Juniper Ridge elementary.

The report says enrolment could rise to 14,500 in coming years.

In recent years, it has been about 13,000.

Half the elementary schools need to be replaced in the next 20 years. All were built expecting student bodies of between 300 to 400, but several buildings have exceeded those projections.

Kamloops city councillors will head to Victoria next week with a slightly lighter meeting schedule than originally anticipated.

Eight of the city’s nine elected officials are headed to the annual convention of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, with only councillor Tina Lange staying behind.

The convention runs from Sept. 26 to Sept. 30.

While councillors will still meet with representatives from the RCMP and Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, Mayor Peter Milobar said a planned meeting with Ministry of Education staff on the future of the now-vacant Stuart

Wood school is no longer going ahead.

The city took back ownership of the downtown heritage building over the summer, after it was vacated by School District 73, but has been unsure what to do with it due to a century-old provincial clause requiring it be used for educational purposes.

Milobar said Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and Minister of Transportation Todd Stone has stepped in to help, making the meeting unnecessary.

“He feels pretty confident that the ministry staff are forging ahead to figure out a way forward from that clause, so I don’t think there’s a need to

The company has said it hopes to resume the process this fall.

For Coun. Arjun Singh, this UBCM convention could mean a promotion.

Singh, who served as the organization’s third vice-president last year, is up for second vice-president.

So far, he is running unopposed, though nominations could come from the floor.

Singh said he expects chatter amongst local governments to focus on issues stemming from the coming legalization of marijuana, affordable housing and new revenue streams for local governments.

“It’s trying to figure out ways to work

be meeting right now,” Milobar said.

The mayor said the meeting with Bennett will focus on KGHM Ajax’s proposed copper and gold mine, as it has for a number of years.

“It’s really just an update on where we’re at on the whole process,” said Milobar.

“We’ll probably see things unfolding now that we’re getting close to the clock re-setting and things around the permitting process and stuff like that. It’s our usual check-in.”

KGHM’s environmental review has been on hold for months as it responds to thousands of questions on its application generated by the public and a city-hired consultant.

$162 million for more four-laning CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Yesterday,Transportation Minister Todd Stone made the largest funding announcement — outside the Lower Mainland — in his nearly four years at the post when the provincial and federal governments committed to a four-lane highway project at Salmon Arm The $162-million venture is known as Salmon Arm West.

The project will four-lane the highway west of the downtown core and replace the

Salmon River Bridge.

“There’s been a number of pretty serious accidents and can often be fatalities,” Stone said of the narrow bridge entering Salmon Arm from the west.

Stone said it marks the largest investment in the Trans-Canada Highway in a decade.

Construction is expected to start next year and be completed in five years.

Engineering, property acquisition and accommodation of First Nations will be included in that time period. The highway travels through two Indian reserves.

Airport numbers up Kamloops Airport continues to see a levelling in passenger traffic due to the slowdown in Alberta’s oil sector.

Despite that slowdown, however, the number of passengers using the airport is up about 1.5 per cent for the first eight months of the year. The airport reported passenger numbers were down about 2.5 per cent in August.

Airport managing director Fred Legace said August continued a decline in traffic due to the Fort McMurray fire and continuing slump in oil prices.

Prior to 2014’s price collapse, charter aircraft flew out of Kamloops to Northern Alberta and WestJet operated a service to Edmonton.

Work is ongoing on the reconstruction and expansion of the main apron that will allow larger aircraft to access the terminal and accommodate medivac and cargo aircraft in a separate area.

When complete, the highway will be completely four-laned between Kamloops and Salmon Arm, save for the section through Sorrento, which Stone called “particularly challenging” because it pits easy business access on the current two-lane route against a bypass through valuable agricultural land.

“The projection probably after this one is we do a project west through Tappen,” he said.

Under terms of the deal, the federal government will contribute $48.5 million, while the province will pay $114 million.

Junior hockey player facing sex-related charges A junior hockey goaltender facing allegations he sexually interfered with a young person and was in possession of child pornography has had his case adjourned so he can return from camp with a team.

Connor Neurauter is charged with one count each of sexual interference of a person under 16 and possession of child pornography.

A lawyer appeared on the 19-year-old’s behalf during a brief hearing yesterday in Kamloops provincial court.

Sheldon Tate said his client is away at a hockey camp and asked to have his arraignment adjourned to Oct. 6.

The sexual interference charge against Neurauter dates back to 2015.

He is alleged to have possessed child pornography on March 30, 2016.

Neurauter, who is from Kamloops, spent part of last season with a junior A team in Ontario.

He has also played for various junior teams in B.C.

Guilty plea in invasion A Kamloops man has admitted his part in a 2014 home invasion in which the target was, apparently, a $60,000 stash of drugs.

Steven Insua pleaded guilty yesterday to break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence, stemming from a March 16, 2014, incident at a home on York Avenue in North Kamloops.

The Crown previously said Insua and three other men entered the North Kamloops home and demanded missing drugs worth $60,000.

Court heard a former tenant of the home is believed to have been a drug dealer who moved out prior to the incident — after a significant amount of drugs went missing.

At a previous hearing, court heard the victims of the home invasion were a single mother, two teenaged boys and their grandmother.

Insua, who is not in custody, is slated to return to court for sentencing next week.

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

HOT: Growth at Thompson Rivers University.

This week has been explosive with respect to news of immediate and distant plans on the campus.

First, there was the unveiling of the multi-decade, $1-billion The Reach proposal, which will see a vibrant village created among the buildings of learning. Think of what has happened at UBC and SFU, where livability is paramount, and you get an idea of what is proposed for what TRU officials are calling The Reach.

Next was news of a $30-million trades training centre, prepping for which has already begun. The centre will rise behind the Trades and Technology Building and will result in additional seats in various trades-related programs.

OUR

NOT: Ongoing revelations from Ottawa that seem to show political gluttony is not exclusive to any one party.

When the Conservatives were in power, they were, at times, criticized for the spending habits of some MPs (Bev Oda’s extravagant trip to London, England, comes to mind).

Well, it appears Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are no better, as we have reports that the government has approved more than $1-million in moving expenses for staff (including a mind-boggling $127,000 expense related to principal secretary Gerald Butts selling his Toronto home and relocating to Ottawa).

Then there was the $6,600 taxpayers spent on vanity photographs for Environment Minister Catherine McKenna while she was at a climate conference in Paris.

And on and on it goes.

It seems each time a government is tossed to the curb (generally every decade or so in Ottawa), the incoming administration vows to respect the taxpayer, only to get stuck in that damn trough.

Speaking for the trees

I

t was nice to hear Coun.

Donovan Cavers call this week for an inventory of the city’s trees to update Kamloops’ heritage tree bylaw, which protects trees of a certain age or significance.

If and when the tally is conducted, the volunteers might want to wander by Notre Dame Drive and Laval Crescent and count the stumps that stand as reminders of a massacre that served to further uglify that bleak industrial neighbourhood known as Southgate.

When an arborist is essentially mourning the fact he was hired to kill a majestic, healthy stand of trees that added so much to the traffic-congested area, you know the city needs a beefed-up treeprotection bylaw.

The sudden and shocking toppling last week of a mini-forest of beautiful trees that stood guard over the Greyhound Bus Depot led to KTW’s Adam Williams digging out news that Greyhound is abandoning its depot as of next spring.

The eyesore of emptiness that replaced the grandiose of the trees led to questions about why Mother Nature’s creations were murdered.

From reading the city’s treeprotection bylaw, it seems quite evident there are enough loopholes to render the “protection” in the bylaw title about as effective as an umbrella created with newsprint.

The bylaw states permits from the city are required before a tree can be cut down — unless, well, there are many unlesses listed, six specific ones, by my count, plus a few others.

MUSINGS I suppose the one exemption in the bylaw that allowed the owner of the Greyhound property to level the trees is the one that deems a permit not necessary if the trees are on privately owned land that is less than two hectares (five acres) in size and zoned residential, commercial or industrial.

That one exemption among all of them would seem to effectively place a chainsaw in the hands of virtually every homeowner in Kamloops outside of Barnhartvale.

The preamble to the bylaw’s section on exemptions to obtaining a permit states “significant” trees fall outside the chainsawmassacre-at-will provisions.

In other words, one may cut down any tree they see fit to fall on their less-than-two-hectare property unless it is a “significant” tree.

The city’s parks regulation bylaw defines a “significant” tree as one that “has been identified in the bylaw as being important to the community, including importance for heritage or landmark value or as wildlife habitat.”

The bylaw identifies 10 such trees in the city (also known as

heritage trees), all of which are on city land. Six are in Riverside Park and include maple, oak, elm, chestnut and giant arborvitae. Two are in the Sixth Avenue cemetery (an Indian beam and Norway spruce), one is in Memorial Park off Battle Street (little leaf Linden) and one is on city right-of-way land in the West End (Douglas fir).

Based on what now greets me each day as I head to work (our office being within the Southgate industrial area, a few blocks from the tree tragedy of last week), I’d argue those giant, shade-offering, dust-trapping, water-retaining, carbon-sucking, air-purifying, wildlife-housing, grass-cooling beauties were every bit as important to those who frequented the area as are the 10 trees protected in the city’s bylaw.

In February 2015, Urban Systems submitted its draft Urban Forest Management Strategy report to the City of Kamloops.

It found the city has a tree canopy of 12 per cent. Of a dozen neighbourhoods surveyed, Juniper Ridge was tops at 15.8 per cent. Southgate was at the bottom of the pack, with a tree canopy of 2.2 per cent.

The deaths of the giants on the Greyhound property have only further diminished that pathetic percentage.

Yes, let’s count the trees, without which we would die.

But let’s also protect the trees and demand they be part of this incessant rush to what we call progress. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

SAFE INJECTION SITE IN CITY WILL SAVE LIVES Editor: A supervised injection site in Kamloops would be a small step in the right direction.

It would save some lives at the least and could possibly encourage some to seek treatment.

Bigger news this week is that the federal government has now allowed doctors to prescribe heroin. This is a huge step in the right direction.

The problem is actually quite simple.

We have these things we call controlled substances, over which we have no control. We need to take control of these substances.

By giving addicts the drugs they crave, we can save many more lives as the drugs will be of pharmaceutical grade, with no surprises such as fentanyl.

We could save millions in policing, court jail and medical costs.

We could take billions of dollars away from the cartels and, most importantly, there would be no incentive for a dealer to give our children a free rock to get them started.

If all drugs were available through the medical system, there would be no point in a dealer trying to get our children hooked because, even

if they get addicted, the drugs would be free from our doctors.

As crazy as it sounds, giving addicts what they want would save lives and get rid of the dealers that sell poison to our children.

It has been done in the Netherlands and that country has the lowest rate of youth using drugs in the world.

More law-school grads, fewer articling positions COMPETITION IS FIERCE AS MARKET ACROSS PROVINCE GETS TIGHTER CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Students from the third graduating class from Thompson Rivers University’s law school are finding it more difficult to obtain articling positions than their predecessors, who had less competition and benefitted from local support that was difficult to sustain.

As a result, at least two graduates from the

school in 2016 have secured articles by putting together a series of local three-month stints at small firms that together will satisfy B.C. Legal Society’s requirements, while others are still seeking the position required to be called to the bar and practice as a lawyer.

“There’s too many grads,” said Kamloops lawyer John Drayton, who has been contacted by a number of

graduating law students from Thompson Rivers University seeking an articling position.

Drayton co-operated with a number of other firms to hire two articling students for threemonth periods.

“I think it is unusual,” he said. “But it relates to a measure of desperation.”

This past spring marked the third graduating class from TRU’s law school, where the

numbers ramped up from 71 graduates in each of the first two years to 103 this year.

Christi McAuley, director of career services at TRU’s law school, said all graduates in their first two years obtained articling placements.

In B.C., students attend law schools in either Vancouver, Victoria or Kamloops for three years. Following that, they write exams, undertake a 10-week

professional training course from the B.C. Law Society and then must serve nine months in an articling position — a kind of apprenticeship in which they are overseen by a practising lawyer.

That allows them to be called to the bar — to be able to practise law in British Columbia and hold themselves out as a lawyer.

McAuley declined to report on success of students this year, saying the university follows the standard practice of the American Bar Association that sees law schools publish statistics nine months after graduation.

She said anecdotal reports that less than 60 per cent of this year’s graduating class have obtained articling positions “are out of date and inaccurate.

“It’s well higher than

that,” she said.

One of those students still searching for an articling position is now in South Africa, where she is working through a Global Affairs Canada program that sees young lawyers and graduating law students placed in an eight-month internship.

But Kenna Morris is still seeking what has been an elusive goal of obtaining an articling position in Canada.

“After my final exams, I drastically expanded my search criteria for a position,” she said in an email message from Pretoria. “I was very uncomfortable at having graduated with so much debt and no articles.”

Morris initially began her search in Vancouver and Calgary.

“In both cases I was amazed at how many applications I sent out

to firms and how low the response rate was,” Morris said. “Many firms just did not respond to emails or phone calls.”

Toward the end of her third year, Morris said she thought she had secured a position with a mid-sized firm and booked flights to finish up paperwork. But the company experienced some unexpected problems and couldn’t fulfil the offer.

“Between that moment and now, I have applied to 108 firms and companies . . . That does not include the firms I searched and emailed to see if they might be interested.”

Blake Tancock is one of the two lawyers working in the shared articling position for Kamloops law firms Gibraltar Law, Woziak and Walker and Mary MacGregor Law.

“It’s tough,” Tancock said of obtaining an articling position. “A lot of firms just don’t have the physical space.”

Tancock said he put in many hours searching and cold-calling law firms for an opportunity.

“I had a list and called every single firm on Vancouver Island,” he said.

Ken Walker, a partner in Wozniak and Walker in Kamloops and president of the B.C. Law Society, said the city’s legal firms did “exceptionally well” in placing about 18 lawyers with articling positions in the 2014 year of TRU law’s first graduating class. He acknowledged it is difficult for the local market to sustain that level of uptake.

Walker said he has heard recently of struggles by graduating students to find an articling placement, a challenge that mirrors a trend in place in Ontario.

Law schools and the profession have sought answers. One of them is at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, where the new law school does away with articling.

Instead, students must complete a fourmonth work placement (likely unpaid) at a Northern Ontario community.

Ontario’s law society also gave the nod to a pilot law practice program, in which graduating law students undertake four months of study at Ryerson University in Toronto and four months of work placement if they cannot find an articling position.

In Ontario, recent reports indicate 15 per cent of law students graduate without being

able to find articling positions — and thus are caught in limbo.

Chira Perla, assistant dean in career services at UBC’s law school, said in an email message that between 90 and 95 per cent of graduating students have found articling positions in the past two years.

But with fewer articling positions available in oil-shocked Alberta and foreigntrained lawyers seeking positions in Canada, Perla said it’s “fair to say that the market is becoming more competitive.”

University of Victoria’s legal careers officer, Laura Pringle, estimated more than 90 per cent of students have been able to obtain articling positions in the past four years. But she acknowledged the market is getting tighter.

“Certainly students do seem to be experiencing increased difficulty in finding articles, particularly in larger cities,” she said.

Morris said firms in larger cities encouraged her to look for opportunities in smaller cities. When she did, Morris said, “I was told that because I was not local, I was too much of a risk to invest in . . .”

She will return to Canada from South Africa and search again.

Obtaining articling is just the first challenge. Following that, graduates must find an entry-level job. Morris’s colleague in South Africa, Laura Faryna, graduated from UVic and articled at a legal aid clinic in a Northern Ontario aboriginal community accessible only by rail.

Campaign linked to literacy JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

Volunteers will be out early Tuesday morning hawking specialty editions of Kamloops This Week to raise money for literacy programs in Kamloops.

The ninth annual Raise-a-Reader campaign will bring together about 200 volunteers collecting donations between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m.

Funds raised support literacy programs through the work of the Kamloops Early Language and Literacy Initiative (KELLI) and Literacy in Kamloops (LinK).

“All our programs are totally dependent on Raise-a-Reader funds,” said Fiona Clare, LinK literacy outreach co-ordinator.

Last year, donations collected in Kamloops, Barriere, Chase, Clearwater and Logan Lake and matching contributions from the provincial government totalled $110,000.

It funded about 30 literacy programs in Kamloops.

The campaign supports LinK initiatives such as: • Come Read With Me workshops: Twohour reading sessions and take-home reading materials for Grade 1 students and their parents, offered in 28 schools; • One-to-One Children’s Literacy Program: Weekly reading sessions offered to tentative readers in Grade 1 to Grade 6 to help build their confidence and

love for reading.

It’s now in its 18th year and running in 20 schools; • Storybook Project: An initiative that sees volunteers from the John Howard Society visit inmates at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre to record book readings to send to their children.

LinK also provides a portion of Raise-aReader to community partners to help with their literacy programs, including the Kamloops Immigrant Services and the Twin Rivers Education Centre.

Raise a Reader also supports KELLI’s Parent-Child Mother Goose Program, a national back-to-basics, circle-time gathering for parents, caregivers and children.

The eight-week pro-

gram sees facilitators teach parents and children songs and rhymes, as well as strategies for keeping children entertained and engaged.

More than 2,000 people participated in the program last year.

Raise-a-Reader funds also support KELLI events including ABC Family Literacy Day, International Children’s Day, the Teddy Bear Picnic and Family Literacy Night, which in total drew more than 3,000 attendees last year.

“It’s really crucial, this campaign,” said KELLI co-ordinator Maureen Doll.

“Essentially, we raise the money in September and then we can allocate those funds to programs and events and community partners that work to

increase the literacy of the community.”

Volunteers in bright orange T-shirts will be collecting donations Tuesday morning at various locations around the city, including Starbucks, A&W, McDonald’s and Tim Hortons locations.

This year, the Ministry of Education is providing $500,000 to the provincial Raise-aReader campaign.

“You want to know when you are making a donation that your money is really going to make a difference,” Clare said. “Honestly, every dollar raised in Raise-a-Reader goes directly into supporting program costs.”

(Beside the Comfort Inn)

Delay in fatal hit-run case The case against a Shuswap man accused in a hit-and-run crash that left a Kamloops-Thompson school district employee dead has been set back a month to allow the Crown to hand over more disclosure to defence.

Brian Watson was killed in a twovehicle collision in Magna Bay on April 3. Police have said the 60-yearold grandfather was struck by a pickup truck from behind while riding his motorcycle.

Raymond Edward Swann, 55,

is facing charges of criminal negligence causing death and failing to stop at an accident. He did not appear in person yesterday as his lawyer asked for more time to receive and review information from prosecutors.

Watson, from Chase, worked as a painter for the school district.

A Kamloops paint shop named a shade, Bri’s Brown, in his honour after his death.

Swann, who is not in custody, is due back in court on Oct. 24.

A Kamloops man named Gardian Angel is expected to enter pleas next week to two charges alleging sexual misconduct with a child.

The 53-year-old is charged with one count each of sexual assault and sexual touching of a person under 16.

The charges stem from an alleged incident on July 9 in Kamloops.

Angel is not in custody and is slated to appear in Kamloops provincial court for arraignment on Monday.

Gopal Figueredo is facing kidnapping, unlawful-confinement, extortion and aggravated-assault charges in connection to the Sept. 17 slayings of Xuan Bacao and Samantha Le. Figueredo was one of three men arrested Monday in New Westminster as part of the investigation into the murders of

Correction A Sept. 22 KTW article on fundraising at the annual Terry Fox Run (‘Local 12-year-old raises almost $9,000 for cancer research’) stated money raised goes to the Canadian Cancer Society.

In fact, money raised at Terry Fox runs goes to the Terry Fox Foundation, where 84 cents of every dollar (according to the most recent three-year average) is used for cancer research.

Bacao and Le. Police said the kidnapping victim was rescued during the arrest.

Figueredo received a three-year prison sentence in Kamloops last year for his role in a 2014 residential breakin in Cherry Creek, which culminated in a number of arrests on the property of the New Afton Mine.

Figueredo and three other men — Ellwood Bradbury, Triston Wight and Anees Mohammed — were arrested a short time after the July 3, 2014, break-and-enter.

In the vehicle in which the men had been travelling, police found cash, five firearms and ammunition.

A number of the firearms were stolen

from the Cherry Creek home.

Figueredo’s threeyear sentence was reduced significantly by the 22 months he served in custody awaiting sentencing.

He is expected to make his first court appearance in Vancouver today in connection to the new charges.

B.C.’ s child watchdog Numbers show drop in foreign asks for intervention in Metis toddler case buyers since REAL ESTATE

targeted tax

Turpel-Lafond seeking advice on how to proceed from B.C.’s attorney general

THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — Property purchase data released today by British Columbia’s Finance Ministry indicates a stampede by prospective foreign buyers to avoid paying a 15 per cent tax in the days before the Aug. 2 deadline.

But the numbers also reveal the sudden rush slowed to a trickle after the deadline.

A ministry statement said that on July 29, the last business day before property transactions could be registered before the new tax took effect, 55 per cent of all residential property deals in Metro Vancouver involved foreign nationals.

The statement said more than $850 million in property transactions involving foreign nationals were registered at the land titles office on July 29.

Government statistics show declines in real estate transactions involving foreign nationals since the introduction of the foreign buyers tax.

The figures indicate 1,974 property deals in Metro Vancouver involved foreign buyers from June 10 to Aug. 1, but that number dips to just 60 property transactions involving foreign buyers from Aug. 2 to 31.

VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s representative for children and youth is urging the province’s attorney general to intervene in the case of a Metis toddler being adopted to nonMetis parents in Ontario.

Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond said she is acting on advice from three leading Metis cultural experts and believes that the little girl’s heritage has not been given adequate consideration.

The nearly three-year-old girl has been in the care of a Metis foster mother since she was two days old and the Vancouver Island woman and her husband have lost multiple court battles to adopt her.

The Ministry of Children and Family Development removed the girl from the couple’s home on Sunday and plans to move her next week to Ontario to live with the

adoptive parents and her older sisters, whom she has never met.

TurpelLafond wrote to Attorney General Suzanne Anton TURPEL-LAFOND this week asking that a decision on the child’s placement be delayed for a short time so proper indigenous consultation can take place.

The Children’s Ministry said it has a cultural plan to preserve the little girl’s aboriginal identity, but TurpelLafond says the plan is weak, was developed without Metis expertise and relies on stereotypes.

Visiting grizzlies captured near Alert Bay THE CANADIAN PRESS

Residents of Alert Bay on tiny Cormorant B.C. News Island are breathing a sigh of relief after two visiting grizzlies were finally caught yesterday.

Village of Alert Bay chief administrative officer Justin Beadle said the two- to-three-year-old bruins were captured within a few hours of each other.

Grizzlies are not native to the area and the two males swam to the island off the north-east tip of Vancouver Island last Friday.

BRIEFS

Abduction allegations recanted

Abbotsford police say they’ve concluded their investigation into an alleged attempted abduction after the female complainant changed her story.

The 33-year-old woman had told police she was grabbed by a man in a blue van after she declined repeated offers of a ride on Sunday but managed to break free and run away.

Police said the woman now says the incident did not occur as she described.

They add she deeply regrets any undue alarm she caused the police or public.

NATIONAL NEWS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada and China have embarked on exploratory talks towards a potential free trade agreement between the two countries.

Trudeau also said the two countries have reached an agreement to effectively end a lingering dispute over Canadian canola exports, although he offered no specifics.

Word of possible free trade talks first surfaced earlier this month during the prime minister’s own visit to China, which agreed during that visit to hold off on enforcing tighter regulations on Canadian canola exports.

The prime minister, who said the two countries hope to double bilateral trade by 2025, made yesterday’s announcements alongside Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, who is in the midst of the first visit to Canada by a Chinese leader since 2010.

Earlier yesterday, Canadian Forces cannons heralded Li’s

arrival with a thunderous 19-gun salute while Falun Gong protesters massed on the parliamentary lawn.

Trudeau called the “his-

toric nature’’ of their backto-back visits to each other’s countries a chance to deepen and strengthen the collaboration and co-operation between the two countries on a broad range of issues.

“I look forward to continuing the discussions on challenging issues, but also on all the opportunities that we know there are to create benefits for citizens of both of our countries,’’ he said.

“I’m pleased to welcome you here to Canada and look forward to our working together.’’

Li arrived in Canada late Wednesday and visited informally with Trudeau at the prime minister’s retreat at Harrington Lake.

A photo released by the Prime Minister’s Office showed the two leaders lounging in the back yard with glasses of beer while one of Trudeau’s kids hammed it up in the background on a trampoline.

Li was scheduled to meet later yesterday with Gov. Gen. David Johnston and sit down for dinner in Gatineau, Que.,

with Trudeau and wife Sophie Gregoire Trudeau.

The spectre of China’s “Operation Fox Hunt’’ — the pursuit and harassment of so-called economic fugitives and other dissidents — cast a shadow over yesterday’s talks.

Trudeau has acknowledged that the two countries are engaged in a high-level security dialogue, including the establishment of a controversial extradition treaty.

Trudeau defended the move this week against opposition charges that China’s frequent use of the death penalty, among other things, make it a poor choice for such a treaty.

Trudeau said Canada would never approve the extradition of anyone facing the death penalty.

Instead, he said the new security dialogue would give Canada a venue to raise serious issues with Chinese leaders, as part of a “consistent relationship with one of the world’s largest economies, an economy that provides huge opportunities for Canadian businesses.’’

WORLD NEWS

Charlotte chief says family will be shown video of shooting Fatal police shooting has sparked massive demonstrations in North Carolina city MITCH WEISS JEFFREY COLLINS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte’s police chief said yesterday he plans to show video of an officer shooting a black man to the slain man’s family, but the video won’t be immediately released to the public.

Charlottte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney has said that 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott refused officers’ repeated commands to drop a gun, but he said during a news conference that the video does not definitely show Scott pointing a gun at anyone.

Putney said he is working to honour the request from the family of Scott to view the video. It’s unclear when or if the video might be released publicly.

“Right now my priority is the people who really are the victims of the shooting,’’ Putney said.

“I’m telling you right now if you think I say we should display a victim’s worst day for consumption; that is not the transparency I’m speaking of.’’

Meanwhile, the state prosecutor in Charlotte will ask the State Bureau of Investigation to look into the shooting.

District Attorney R. Andrew Murray said in a statement yesterday that he was making the request for a state investigation at the request of Scott’s family.

The police video could be key to resolving the chasm between police, who say Scott refused repeated commands to drop his gun, and residents who say he was unarmed.

Residents say Scott was unarmed, holding only a book, and disabled by a brain injury. But it’s unclear what the body cameras worn by three officers who were present during the shooting may have captured.

The plainclothes officer who shot Scott, Brently Vinson, was not wearing a camera. He has been placed on

A17

FRIDAY, September 23, 2016

leave, standard procedure in such cases. Vinson is black.

As officials tried to quell the unrest, at least three major businesses were asking their employees to stay home for the day as the city remained on edge. Mayor Jennifer Roberts said earlier Thursday the city was considering a curfew.

But Putney said during the news conference that he saw no reason to impose a curfew. He said Charlotte now has more resources to deal with problems, following a declaration of a state of emergency and the arrival of the North Carolina National Guard and more officers from the State Highway Patrol.

The streets were mostly quiet yesterday, but Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Duke Energy all told employees not to venture into North Carolina’s largest city after Gov. Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency Wednesday night and called in the National Guard. The North Carolina National Guard arrived at a Charlotte armoury early Thursday, and Guard vehicles left the armoury about 8 a.m.

Federal help also is on the way, with the Justice Department sending to Charlotte a team of trained peacekeepers designed to help resolve community conflict.

The unrest took many by surprise in Charlotte, the banking capital of the South with a population of 830,000 people, about 35 per cent of them black. The city managed to pull through a racially charged shooting three years ago without the unrest that erupted in recent years in places such as Baltimore, Milwaukee and Ferguson, Missouri.

On Wednesday, hundreds of protesters who were shouting “black lives matter’’ and “hands up, don’t shoot’’ left after police fired flash grenades and tear gas after the shooting. But several groups of a dozen or more protesters stayed behind, attacking people, shattering windows and setting small fires.

First Nations sign treaty against oilsands THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Canadian First Nations National and U.S. tribal communities have signed a treaty to fight the development and distribution of oilsands crude from Alberta.

Indigenous leaders signed the agreement yesterday in Montreal and Vancouver.

They said they plan to join together to prohibit and challenge the use of their lands for the expanded production of Alberta’s oilsands, including distribution of crude via pipeline, rail or tanker.

They have urged various proposed pipeline projects, including TransCanada’s Energy East, Enbridge’s Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain, against expansion.

BRIEFS

Developer plans biblical theme park MOOSE JAW, Sask. — A Chinese businessman wants to build a biblical theme park in southern Saskatchewan complete with a massive replica of Noah’s ark.

The yet-to-be-named park, with a three-storey boat containing animal reproductions, would be build next to a private cemetery outside Moose Jaw. Marc L’Hoir with Sunset Cemetery is working with the developer on the plan.

He said workers from China would be brought over to spend four years building the park at a cost of about $1.2 million.

The Rural Municipality of Moose Jaw approved earlier this week the development of a “passive park’’ with a walking path, statues and murals.

Administrator Mike Wirges said he was surprised to learn a giant ark was part of the plan, and further approvals will be needed from the province and possibly Nav Canada, since there is a nearby air-force base.

Prisoner found dead in Alberta cell DRUMHELLER, Alta. — The Correctional Service of Canada says it’s investigating the death of a 23-year-old inmate at the Drumheller Institution, a medium-security facility in southern Alberta.

Prison officials said Cody Osterland of Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., was found unresponsive in his cell on Wednesday.

Osterland was serving a sentence related to break and enters, weapons, drug trafficking and stolen credit card charges.

RCMP and the coroner have been notified of Osterland’s death.

GLOBAL VIEWS KTW’s global-affairs columnist says it is easy to figure out which of the two U.S. presidential candidates are preferred by terrorists. For those who cannot get enough of the election campaign, mark Monday, Sept.

26, on the calendar as that is the date of the first televised debate between Republican Donald Trump (left) and Democrat Hillary Clinton (right).

WHICH CANDIDATE WOULD GET ISIS’S VOTE?

“

Hillary Clinton’s weakness while she was secretary of state has emboldened terrorists all over the world to attack the U.S., even on our own soil,” wrote Donald Trump on Facebook after last weekend’s bombing in New York.

“They are hoping and praying that Hillary Clinton becomes president, that they can continue their savagery and murder.”

Clinton replied on Monday by branding the Republican presidential candidate a “recruiting sergeant for the terrorists.”

Indeed, in an interview on Israeli television this month, Clinton said the so-called Islamic State was praying for a Trump victory.

There’s clearly a lot of praying going on, but for whose victory are the jihadi fanatics really praying?

There’s no point in asking them because they are likely to lie about it. At least half of them are smart enough to realize if Islamist extremists openly express a preference for one candidate, American voters will tend to back the other.

(Tactical voting is a time-honoured practice, but it does encourage tactical lying.)

Besides, it’s really hard for the opinion pollsters to contact a statistically valid sample of the fighters of Islamic State by phone.

We’re going to have

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH to figure out their views without their help — but happily, this is not very hard to do.

Their weapon is terrorism and there is a clear, universally acknowledged doctrine on how that weapon works.

Well, it was universally acknowledged in the 1970s and the 1980s, when the world was littered with revolutionary movements using terrorist methods.

The leaders themselves wrote about how terrorism served their goals and a generation of Western military leaders studied how best to combat it.

Unsurprisingly, they came to the same conclusions about how terrorism actually worked — and that it didn’t work very well.

So the revolutionary movements either won (occasionally) or gradually faded away. The generation of Western military leaders who had actually confronted terrorism and learned how to respond to it got old and retired and the knowledge was lost.

Some truly stupid

things were said and done in the first years after the attacks of Sept.

11, 2001.

“They are attacking us because they hate our values!”, for example, or “We’ll invade Iraq and root them out!”

(There were no terrorists in Iraq before the invasion.)

But a new generation of Western soldiers has finally grasped how terrorism works. The terrorists themselves, of course, knew it all along.

Three basic facts about terrorism: First, it is the weapon of choice for the weak because it does not require a large army, sophisticated weapons or a lot of money.

Secondly, without those assets, terrorists must not engage in frontal assaults and stand-up battles against powerful opponents (usually governments) who do have them.

Thirdly, it can therefore only succeed by tricking those more powerful forces into doing things that really serve the terrorists’ purposes.

What is the ultimate goal of Islamic State and similar jihadi groups?

Obviously, it is to come to power in various parts of the Muslim world.

If they ever manage to become a government, they may develop further ambitions (for then they would have a large army and lots of money), but taking power is the crucial first step.

Clearly the terror-

ists do not have mass support in their own countries or they would already be in power.

In order to build that mass support — it doesn’t have to be majority support, but they do need a lot of people behind them — they need a villain that will push people into their arms.

That villain can be either the government that currently rules the country or a foreign power that invades the country, but in either case, it must be provoked into behaving very badly.

Only torture chambers and/or cluster bombs will make the mass of the population so desperate that they turn to the revolutionaries for help.

To get the torture and the bombing going, the target government must become so frightened and enraged that it starts using them on a large scale.

That’s what the terrorism is actually for: to make governments over-react and behave very badly. Then the terrorists might actually build enough support to win.

Terrorism is not just blind hatred. It is a technique used by ruthless, intelligent leaders with coherent strategies and clear political goals — and the violence is never senseless.

Osama Bin Laden’s strategy in carrying out the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, for example, was to provoke the United States into

invading Muslim countries.

It worked and the invasions gave a huge boost to the popularity of the jihadi movement.

Indeed, Islamic State and its clones could never have gained power without those invasions.

All terrorism is a

kind of political jiu-jitsu, in which a relatively weak group tries to goad a far stronger force into doing something very big and stupid.

Terrorism doesn’t just thrive on over-reaction. It cannot succeed without it.

So, ask yourself: which of the American

presidential candidates is more likely to over-react to a terrorist provocation?

Now you know for which candidate the terrorists are really praying.

THAT WINNING FEELING PACK LOOKING TO BUILD ON FIRST VICTORY OF SEASON ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he losses were starting to get to them.

The Thompson Rivers WolfPack were still searching for its first win through three matches of the Canada West women’s soccer season, still searching for its first goal, in fact.

And while the talk coming out of the Thompson Rivers camp was sometimes inexplicably positive — we’re young, we’re learning, this was to be expected — three shutout losses, being outscored 17-0 in their first three contests, it was starting to wear on the girls.

So, when Kenzie Lacon found twine for the first time of the season against UNBC, there was excitement, but more so relief.

And when the final whistle went and the WolfPack had won their first match of the season 2-1, the team had changed.

“We were all positive, but it was a little bit different,” said Ava Simpson, who scored the

game-winning marker against the Timberwolves.

“We kind of had the idea that it was OK, because we were a super young team, but after we won that game, we realized that’s no excuse. We can step up and we can play teams like that.”

Pride. Excitement. The Wolves went through a gamut of emotions on the weekend, not the least of which was relief, Simpson said.

Just scoring the first goal of their season went a long way toward silencing some of the doubt that may have started to creep in.

“Because of all the goals [against] in the other games, it was kind of hard to get the first goal,” Simpson said.

“Once it happened, it became a lot easier throughout the game. We were all motivated and all talking with each other and communicating. It just created a better atmosphere.”

At home to the Fraser Valley Cascades and the Trinity Western Spartans this weekend, the Pack will be trying to hang on to that positivity. The Spartans have yet to lose this season, posting a 3-0-2 record, while the Cascades

are 2-1-2 through five matches.

The first win of the season was everything Thompson Rivers needed, captain Kindra Maricle said. Coming a third of the way through the season, if the WolfPack can pick up another win against the Timberwolves later this season and take a game or two from the UBC-Okanagan Heat, they might still be in the playoff picture.

“We’re in it now,” Maricle said.

“Hopefully this weekend, when we play Trinity and UFV, we’ll come out strong. Obviously, them looking at us, they’ll probably think they have it no problem. But we’ll definitely show them what we have.”

Kickoff for both tomorrow’s contest against Spartans and Sunday’s contest against the Cascades is slated for 1 p.m. at Hillside Stadium.

On the road

The men’s soccer team is in Edmonton to face the MacEwan Griffins and the Alberta Golden Bears this weekend.

TRU is 3-5 on the season, while the Golden Bears are 7-0-1 and the Griffins are 0-5-1.

Dino Bernardo is wondering if the football gods have it out for him this season, but he certainly isn’t questioning fans of the Kamloops Broncos.

“The attendance this year was good, considering how bad the weather was,” the Broncos’ president said. “Three of our four home games have had weather issues and we usually still got 400 or 500 people out.”

What bothers Bernardo is what could have been, with the Broncos having put extra effort into promotions this season, including appreciation nights for first responders and City of Kamloops staff.

“Outside of Kelowna [Okanagan Sun], we probably had the highest attendance in the league,” Bernardo said. “Our last home game [on Saturday[, we had a torrential downpour and a windstorm and still had 300 fans out.”

It’s no secret how important big gates are for low-budget B.C. Football Conference squads.

Crowds of about 600 or 700 — a rough estimation of what could have been without shoddy

weather — would have boded well for the Broncos’ coffers.

Kamloops knew this was a rebuilding year and, at 1-7, that’s exactly what it’s been, with two games remaining on the slate. The Broncos finish their home schedule tomorrow against the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack at Hillside. Game time is 7 p.m.

The Battle of the Basement, with Valley sitting at 0-8, is certainly not meaningless to Bernardo and the Broncos.

They want to put on a show for loyal home fans and salute their graduating players with a sendoff victory.

“Look at a kid like Colin Mather, who spent his whole career here,” Bernardo said.

“This means a lot to us and to kids who have dedicated themselves to our program.”

Graduating members of the Broncos include Mather, Cam Mackenzie, Tyler Zabotel, Michael Ochoa, Broden Romanovitch, Jacob Palmarin and Evan Mutrie.

Head coach Brad Yamaoka has worked with about 40 rookies this season, a young team whose goal next year will be to make the playoffs.

“The year after that, I think

we can contend,” Bernardo said.

“If Colby Henkel doesn’t win rookie of the year, he’ll be getting robbed. You’ll see that kid playing CIS football and that’s what our program was meant for. And we developed a lot of other young guys this year.”

Henkel, an 18-year-old quarterback from Stony Plain, Alta., won the starting position in Week 2 and never relinquished it, despite strong efforts from backup Ryan Derksen when he saw the field.

Bernardo laughed when asked what the weather was supposed to be like tomorrow night, when fans will be offered one last Broncos’ football fix.

“Well, it was supposed to be sunny originally, but now it looks like clouds are supposed to roll in,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter. We have the best fans in the league.“

Special Olympics returning to Kamloops Special Olympics BC (SOBC) announced the 2017 SOBC Summer Games will be coming to Kamloops next year.

The 2017 Games, which will run from July 6 to July 8, will be

the largest to date, with about 1,300 athletes with intellectual disabilities from across the province and the Yukon expected to compete, supported by more than 350 volunteer coaches

and mission staff.

Eleven events will be held: 5- and 10-pin bowling, athletics, basketball, bocce, golf, powerlifting, rhythmic gymnastics, soccer, softball and swimming.

Competing is a thrill for the athletes, many of whom will have their first opportunities to travel with a team and experience the joy of challenging themselves to attain and exceed

their athletic goals.

The competitors will also be chasing the opportunity to advance to national and international levels of competition.

Kamloops has long been a key location for Special Olympics in B.C., as one of the first communities to offer programming in the province, beginning in 1983.

Canada’s Tournament Capital held the first official SOBC Summer Games in 1986.

“We are so excited to go back to Kamloops where we know the people, the facilities, and what this city can do. We really feel these will be an exceptional set of Games,” said Lois McNary, SOBC vicepresident.

More than 1,200 volunteers will be needed to help stage the event.

Seattle coach Pete Carroll has been fined $200,000, the Seahawks have been fined $400,000 and the team will lose a fifth-round draft choice for violating the NFL’s work rules on contact in the offseason.

The Seahawks will forfeit the draft pick in 2017 and also lose a week of organized team activities (OTA) for allowing excessive contact in an OTA on June 6. That is prohibited by the labour agreement with the players’ union.

Seahawks players will be paid for the cancelled sessions in 2017.

The league cited Carroll as “responsible for maintaining appropriate control over practices and intervening if prohibited conduct occurs.’’

The decision was made after the league and the NFL Players Association independently reviewed the on-field practice video for June 6. Both sides agreed the Seahawks violated the no live contact rules.

SD73 has say on sports space ADAM WILLIAMS

INVITATION

Thursday, September 29, 2016 • 6:45 am to 8:30 am

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Concerns with the South Kamloops secondary school gym aren’t new for School District 73.

“It’s of a different era,” superintendent Alison Sidow told KTW. “It’s 65 years old. It’s a lot smaller and it doesn’t have the seating capacity. . . . It’s not the most desirable gym.”

But the district has its hands tied by reality in Kamloops.

Sidow said SD73 has always been concerned about the aging gymnasium and has considered a number of options, including obtaining funding to build an entirely new gymnasium on the facility’s current space.

With the cost of such a project though, it makes more sense to replace the entire school, she said.

So, while the district hopes facility needs will be addressed in the area soon — Sidow said the schoolboard had a productive meeting with KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Todd Stone on Wednesday — South Kam is going to have to continue to do its best with what it has.

“They are using the weight room in the old John Peterson building, so they do have that space. So they are making do and they do a good job of doing that and getting kids out in

other venues — the curling rink, etc.,” Sidow said.

“It would be very true that there is pressure at South Kam in the gym.”

Sean Lamoureux is the chair of the school district’s athletic council and principal at Sa-Hali secondary school. He said the solution to the problems that KTW reported earlier this week were impacting the athletics programs at South Kamloops and Valleyview secondary, might be making adjustments to how facilities are used on the high school campuses, utilizing space effectively.

Perhaps programs need to practise in the morning or schedule two age groups to use a facility concurrently.

Maybe other facilities in the Tournament Capital can be used.

He said in the 19 years the athletic council has been giving reports to the school board, facility space has never come up as an area of concern for high

school athletics. If it’s an issue now, it hasn’t been in recent years.

“There could be some adjustments,” Lamoureux said.

“We’ve got a great relationship with the city. We’ve got a great relationship with Thompson Rivers and any time things come up that we need to do some adjustments, we always work with them.”

The school district’s philosophy is one of participation and providing opportunities when it comes to athletics. That said, Lamoureux admitted that cutting players is a reality of high school athletics — team’s can’t be run with 60 on the roster.

But he said the teams are shaped more by demand and the ability to find a coach, rather than having the facilities to run a program.

“Once you have those two, I’ve never, ever heard of space being an issue for cutting a kid or not being able to provide a sport,” he said.

TORONTO — Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews may never again line up together wearing the same colours, but if head coach Todd McLellan has his way the concept of Team North America will live on at the World Cup of Hockey.

“If I get a vote I’d like to do it again,’’ McLellan said. “We’ve proven that this young generation can play with the older ones. We’ve been very entertaining. I think if you surveyed 99 out of 100 fans they’d probably say ‘Put ‘em in again.’’’

Donning silver, black and bright orange uniforms, the squad of 23-and-under stars from Canada and the United States delivered on the buzz.

They were an exhilarating rush of speed, skill and excitement in three tournament games, presenting awesome combinations of young talent together on one stage. The roster included the last four No. 1 overall picks and five of the last six dating back to 2011.

“I think we’ve definitely turned some heads and opened the eyes of everyone,’’ said McDavid, the team’s captain.

No connection offered more intrigue than Matthews and McDavid, future cornerstones of their respective teams in Toronto and Edmonton. The two flashed explosive speed and creativity together alongside Winnipeg Jets star Mark Scheifele and Buffalo forward Jack Eichel, the second pick behind McDavid in 2015.

It was the allure of combinations like that which made North

America the most hyped team of the tournament.

“I think we’ve meshed pretty well together over the course of these three games,’’ said Matthews, who had three points in three games alongside McDavid, who had three assists.

“I think that definitely everyone on our team has had a good showing,’’ said McDavid. “I think the future looks good for the under-23 guys.’’

The duo shined right off the hop against Sweden on Wednesday when McDavid burst past four Swedes for a chance against Henrik Lundqvist.

Matthews, a native of Scottsdale, Ariz., snatched the rebound and then shielded the puck from defenceman Victor Hedman while on his knees.

He then found future Maple Leafs teammate Morgan Rielly cross-ice, and the defenceman’s blast produced a rebound that Matthews promptly slid past Lundqvist. Wowed by the theatrics, the fans in Toronto later chanted Matthews’ name in unison.

“It was awesome,’’ he said of the serenade afterward.

Matthews and McDavid weren’t the only No. 1 overall picks to shine for North America.

Nathan MacKinnon, the top pick in 2013 and still only 21, dazzled on the overtime winner against Sweden. All alone against Lundqvist, the Halifax native eluded a poke-check, delivered a wicked deke and then roofed a backhand for his second goal in three games.

MacKinnon thought he’d clinched a semifinal berth for

North America only to learn later that he had not. He half regretted his exuberant celebration afterward.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, the top pick in 2011, also had three points in three games for North America. Aaron Ekblad, the Florida Panthers’ No. 1 pick in 2014, withdrew after only one game because of a suspected concussion.

Though not a top pick, the exploits of Johnny Gaudreau also proved thrilling.

It’s uncertain whether the NHL and NHLPA will bring back Team North America in the future and if they do, what that collection might look like. Would McDavid and Matthews, for instance, be forced to play for the squad again in four years or would they be exempt and permitted to play for Canada and the United States respectively?

McDavid, for one, would love to play for his country at the next World Cup. “I definitely would like the opportunity to try to make a Team Canada,’’ he said Thursday afternoon.

McLellan thinks there’s enough young talent coming to fill in the gaps. He hadn’t anticipated his team of young stars shining quite like this.

“I thought that we could be dangerous. I thought that we could have fun playing as a team,’’ he said.

“But I didn’t think we’d have as big an impact on the hockey world as we have had so far.

And what the young players are learning and what we kept telling them is they’re pretty damn good.’’

Coach backs Kaepernick’s protest THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers coach Chip Kelly says Colin Kaepernick’s protest during the national anthem is bringing attention to an issue that needs addressing.

“You look at what’s gone on in Tulsa and Charlotte the last two nights, it’s an issue that’s at the forefront of our country,’’ Kelly said. “It needs to be addressed, it needs to be taken care of. Because what’s going on is not right. So, I think, again, he [Kaepernick] is shedding light on

the situation that is heinous and shouldn’t happen in this country. We all have inalienable rights as a citizen of this country.

“They’re being violated and that’s what I think Colin is standing up for.’’

The 49ers’ backup quarterback became a polarizing figure when his protest became public following a preseason game against the Packers on Aug. 26, when he sat on the bench during the national anthem in protest of racial oppression and police brutality.

Kaepernick has since begun

kneeling during the anthem instead of sitting and has been joined by several other NFL players and scores of high school and college players who have picked up the cause. Kaepernick has also pledged to donate $1 million to organizations supporting his cause of racial equality.

Despite Kaepernick’s position at the centre of the broadening protest, Kelly said the quarterback hasn’t had problems handling his responsibilities as the backup to starter Blaine Gabbert.

Leos hope receiver gets in ‘Sink’ quick MIKE BEAMISH

VANCOUVER SUN

“We threw everything but the kitchen sink at them.”

The B.C. Lions will no longer to be able to say that about their passing attack.

Quarterback Jonathon Jennings’ kitchen does indeed include a Sink this week, with newly acquired receiver Terrell Sinkfield being activated after just three practices with the Canadian Football League team.

“A weapon, like myself, you don’t want to have it on the bench,” said Sinkfield, a deep threat addition to the Lions’ offence.

“When you have a weapon, you want to use it. I’ve had success in the CFL. The coaches know that. And they know what I can do.”

Two weeks after ringing up close

to 600 yards in net offence (341 through the air, 252 by the overland route) against the Montreal Alouettes, the Lions arrive in Edmonton fresh from a bye week and imagining the possibilities ahead with an added potential differencemaker.

Sinkfield, a 1,000-yard receiver last season with the Hamilton TigerCats, before he took a run at NFL employment with the Minnesota Vikings, represents another potent weapon in his team’s game plan.

A speed freak who rivals returnerrunning back Chris Rainey for shakeand-bake moves, Sinkfield’s arrival signals that “the bomb is back” in B.C. Game time tonight is 7 p.m. at The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. The game can be seen on TSN.

NBA refs to watch for crotch shots this season BRIAN MAHONEY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ELIZABETH, N.J. — NBA referees will be cracking down this season on the kind of hits to the groin area that resulted in Draymond Green’s suspension during the NBA Finals.

They also will more closely monitor travelling after complaints from coaches that players are getting away with too many steps on the perimeter.

The referees were informed and instructed about those items this week during their pre-season meetings and training camp.

The hits to the groin — termed “unnatural acts’’ by the league — are a point of emphasis after a number

A27

of situations involving Green during the post-season. The all-star forward had a habit of flailing his arms or legs and a few times made contact with opponents in the groin area.

He was finally suspended after hitting LeBron James during the finals and missed Game 5. Cleveland rallied to beat Golden State for the title in seven games.

Joe Borgia, the NBA senior vicepresident of replay and referee operations, said players are no longer just swinging their arms in attempt to draw a foul when taking a shot.

“Now all of a sudden legs are coming out in different directions at weird times, they’re coming higher,’’ he said. “Well, for the protection of the players, we’re going to stop it.’’

FAITH

Christianity offers reshaping of human nature

O

ne of the favourite clichés, used mostly by political leaders promising election goodies, is: “Make no mistake.”

I, too, have my own catch-all statements, one of which could confidently be asserted as: “Make no mistake, Christianity is not just for the weak but satisfies both the weak and the strong.”

Two Olympic events just ended. But in the second event, the Paralympics, contestants prided themselves in real strength, almost to the point of invincibility.

Many despise and discard a faith that speaks of strengthening the weak and lifting the fallen. Haven’t we all heard snide remarks like: “I don’t need Christianity. It’s a crutch only for the weaklings.”

How would a young person, full of health

NARAYAN MITRA

You gotta have

FAITH

and scorn who utters it, feel if he broke a leg?

That person’s attitude to crutches might change overnight.

Perhaps we have grown so accustomed to the crutches of society we hardly recognize them.

The mad quest for intimacy to still the ever-present pain of loneliness.

The activism with which we fill our lives because we dare not stop and ask who we are and where we are going.

The dependence on alcohol and drugs

because of the pressures around and within us has become too great.

The anxious state which demands an array of tranquilizers before we can face going to bed.

The attempt to prop up our lives with material things.

Or, the reaction which drives us to Eastern mysticism, yoga, self-improvement seminars and other means to cultivate the human potential.

Crutches — every one of them.

Other props are less obvious, but just as much crutches for the weak: power over other people, fame, wealth and beauty.

There seems no end to the props people use as they limp through life.

Is Christianity another crutch? In one sense, yes. It is for people who do not pretend they are invincible but know they have something broken within them-

selves. If the world and people were perfect, there might be no need for Christianity. But, alas, such is not the case.

Our world, our lives are fractured by greed and lust, by cruelty and selfishness. Christianity is unashamedly a religion of rescue. It’s why so many self-satisfied people steer clear.

“I have come to heal the sick,” said Jesus.

“Those who are well don’t need a doctor.”

But what he meant was no one is healthy.

George Orwell put it tartly in 1984 : “We have found the enemy: It is us.”

We need radical healing, which is what Jesus offers. Set side by side the two estimates of human nature, we think we have hearts of gold. But the prophet Jeremiah said: “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately corrupt.”

Which evaluation is closer to the mark?

How does God react to all this? By pretending it does not matter?

Of course it matters.

The evil in our lives spoils our characters, ruins relationships and alienates us from him.

Moreover, it has an uncanny grip on us.

Who does not long to be free of moral weakness?

The Christian good news is God has acted to restore the situation.

He has come to show us what he is like, to show us how we could live life at its best. And that’s not all.

He came to build a bridge over troubled waters of our alienation and selfishness. He came to construct a path back to himself.

And he did this, against all human logic, by dying for us. It is, therefore, a radical reshaping of human nature that Christianity offers.

It liberates us from the shackles of the past and sets us free to be the people we were intended to be.

It enables us to contribute to other people and society. We know the right thing to do, but we don’t get around to doing it because of our unhealed self-centredness.

The wood of Jesus’s cross is like a splint for our fractured lives. But that splint is applied with the intention of affecting a cure to enable us to stand, walk and run. Let us review what happened to the weak who availed themselves of this crutch: • Saint (Mother) Teresa came out of her nunnery to love the helpless and homeless, the poorest of the poor, on the streets of Kolkata; • Alexander Solzhenitsyn, rotting in the Gulag and surrendering his intellect and being to Jesus, gains the strength to challenge a totalitarian regime on behalf of human dignity and freedom; • George Foreman, former world heavy

weight boxing champion, whose scarred face turned full of the love of Christ, might mutter gently in our ears: “What was that I heard you say, that Christianity is a crutch for the weak?”

These are only some samples from millions who have thrown away pathetic crutches with which they used to limp along the road of life.

They have come for healing to the seasoned wood of the cross and have been transformed.

If we think Christianity is a crutch for the weak, let us make sure our accusation is not a smoke screen to deny our own inadequacies.

Let us make sure it is not an excuse to evade the claims that the living God has on our lives. His remedy is radical, but effective.

He takes the wounded, the fractured people, and makes them whole. ryanmitra225 @gmail.com

Barbara Lee Ashton August 5, 1955 – September 14, 2016 It is with great sadness and grieving that we announce the passing of Barbara at the Kamloops Hospice. She passed away peacefully with dignity and courage, with her family and friends at her side. She was very loving, kind, generous, hard working, stubborn, determined, and met her challenges head on. She owned her own company (Ashton & Associates Recruiting, Inc.) and was very successful at what she did.

Barb was loved immensely by her family and friends. She is survived by her loving mother Cathy Ashton, brother John Ashton, uncles John Bentley, Harvey Bentley and aunt Ada Bentley and many cousins, friends and business associates.

Barb enjoyed many outdoor activities- skiing, fishing, horseback riding and hiking. Barb donated her time and kind loving spirit within the community from fundraising for breast cancer and the local school where she brightened up their day with her delightful laughter.

Special thanks to everyone for your kindness. Special thanks to the staff at RIH and the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House.

We will always love and miss you, Barb.

Fly with the angels and let your spirit soar - Mom Not only is it our understanding, but also apparent that Barb was multitalented and determined, from the time she was tiny and throughout adulthood.

The story goes, as a toddler, Barb knew where every public washroom was located no matter where she was and had no problem helping others find their way in their time of need! This could have been an early sign that she was destined to help and guide others as she proved time and time again.

An advanced adolescent seamstress, basic sewing classes offered in public school were not challenging enough for Barb. It was apparent she had a strong foundation from the start and she continued to build on the basics.

Her continuity of her love for learning remained through her life. She gained a strong sense of business and success surrounded her with everything she put her mind to. She never gave up. She was thorough and followed through. Obstacles were her stepping stones.

First Memorial Funeral Service

1930 - 2016

Gangolf “Opa” Baab of Kamloops, BC passed away on September 17, 2016 at 86 years old.

He is survived by his spouse Christine, with whom he shared the past 27 years, stepson Peter (Akiko) and daughter Karen (Brian) and four grandchildren Kevin, Thomas, Katelyn and Courtney. Opa, as he was called by his grandchildren, leaves behind friends and family in Germany and Canada. He was predeceased by his son Jamie.

Opa was born in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1930 and came to Canada in 1952. He was an avid outdoors man who would get on a horse, lead a team of packhorses and head off into “God’s Country” to merrily hunt and fish. Opa built a cabin at Scott Lake by himself and loved to take family and friends for fishing and snowmobiling excursions.

Special thanks to the staff at Royal Inland Hospital’s 7 North floor who took exceptional care of him.

At his request there will be no Memorial Service.

Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com 250-554-2577

Open minded, non-judgemental, understanding and accepting she helped many with her forthright messages brought forward with her quick wit and to the punch manner.

Barb’s pleasant and positive attitude attributed to her beautiful smile that seemed a constant no matter what her personal adversities. She was true to her word and she stood her ground as she managed life as if there were no tomorrow. An example set for all.

One could feel Barb’s devotion to her mom in all ways. Not only mother and daughter, but the best of friends bound by unfailing trust, an external love deeper than deep.

Barb acquired strength by leading a healthy lifestyle and life. In doing so she prepared herself to maintain strength while she readies to enter the next chapter of her journey. A true visionary.

Her laughter and enlightening smiles will carry on in all of us that she inspires. May we all be blessed with the lessons she gifts us. May we all aspire to be a being of class and grace as Barb is.

We are forever thankful she’s a part of our lives.

We will forever love her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice, 72 Whiteshield Cr. South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.

A Celebration of Life for Barb will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, September 24, 2016, in the Tea Room at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops.

Memory Portrait on Canvas

Gangolf “Opa” Baab

Barb truly loved life and lived it to the fullest. She pursued outdoor activities and enjoyed the game of golf. She was a true thrill seeker. She was drawn to the most frightening rides at the PNE and would go for it where others might shy away. Although strong and independent, she had her little buddy Moe. Her inseparable, “partner in crime,” she enjoyed many travels with her mom, including annual fishing trips. She absolutely loved the water, whether it be a stream, lake, river or the ocean. She found water a calming, soothing therapy.

Many journeys were fulfilled and enjoyed in her little yellow Volkswagen Beetle. I suppose Barb knew that when the time came she would have to trade in the little bug she loved so much to take on new perspectives

Schoening Funeral Service 250-554-2429

of things to follow. She knew when change must occur and had an appreciation of the past, only taking what she needed and an acceptance of the present and never feared what the future might bring. For her, the sky was the limit. She pursued the challenges to face her dreams and fulfilled them.

Patricia Delores Garand (nee Dahl) April 5, 1932 - September 14, 2016

It is with a heavy heart we announce the peaceful passing at home of Patricia Delores Garand at the age of 84 years.

Pat is survived by her three daughters Renee Garand (Don Houston), Naomi McConnell (Lyle), Marni Thellend (Bob Ryl), seven grandchildren Mike Berger (Julie), Lee-Ann Hollander, Tricia Mailloux (Jay), Rory McConnell, Paige McConnell (Darren), Megan Thelland (Fraser), Hillary Thelland, and six great-grandchildren Sarah Berger (Derek), Mat Berger, Hannah Hollander, Danielle Hollander, Zoe Hollander and Emma Mailloux, sister Doreen Fern of Vancouver and brother Bill Dahl of The Pas, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Pat was predeceased by her parents Clara and Charles Dahl, brothers Sandy Dahl and Calvin Dahl and sisters Vi Shaw, Joy Greasley and Carolla Rushton.

Pat was born in Melville, Saskatchewan on April 5th, 1932. Her family moved to The Pas, Manitoba in 1944 where she met and married Roland Garand in 1949. In 1963, they moved west to Kamloops settling in Westsyde for 28 years. After Rollie retired, they moved to Savona and enjoyed the lake for 8 years. Pat returned to Kamloops in 1997 after Rollie passed away. Pat’s final move was in 2015 to Mayfair Place.

Pat, a homemaker, loved her home and swimming pool. She enjoyed her music particularly big band music. Pat’s children and grandchildren gave her great pride and joy.

Mom was very much an at-home person, however she always looked forward to seeing everyone at the Norwegian Club. Pat enjoyed drives to Shuswap Lake, her garden patio and swing, her library and of course the shopping channel. Pat kept her sense of humour, wonderful grit and political opinions right to the very end.

There will be no service as to Patricia’s request.

Schoening Funeral Service is in care of arrangements.

The family would like to thank everyone for the care and support given to our mom who will be dearly missed.

Roy John Gibb 1949 - 2016

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Roy Gibb at the age of 67. He passed away peacefully at home in Kamloops, BC on September 19, 2016 after a long and courageous battle with cancer with love surrounding him.

Born on June 15, 1949 Roy moved west from Amherstburg, Ontario in his early twenties to pursue his career as an industrial painter as well as his passion for fishing, gold prospecting and horse racing. He was successful in most and created many friendships along the way.

He was especially proud of his contribution to the construction of the Revelstoke dam, several pulp mills in BC, as well as his 13 years at Weyerhaeuser. Roy was a member of I.U.P.A.T. Local 38 and a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52.

He will be greatly missed by his beloved companion Diane, sister Gloria and family, brother Don and family and numerous close friends. Roy was an amazingly compassionate, kind and faithful friend to those who knew him.

Ignore the story and see the soul and remember to love, you will never forget it.

A gathering to honour Roy’s Memory will take place at a later date.

No funeral by request.

Obituaries & In Memoriam James A. (Jim) Donchi

Janet Yanchuk (nee Derraugh)

1932 - 2016

June 11th, 1941 – September 19th, 2016

James A. (Jim) Donchi passed away on September 18, 2016 following a courageous fight with Huntington’s Disease.

Jim was born on October 8, 1932 in Kamloops. He is survived by his wife and best friend of 51 years Glenys, his children Ian (Sandy), Rick (Jane), Charlene (Kevin) all of Kamloops and daughter Diana (Al) of Vernon, his grandchildren Jeff, Ryan and Kendall as well as Jim’s brother Bernard.

He was predeceased by his parents Bob and Edith Donchi, brothers John, Ron, Bobby and sisters Milly, Laura and Shirley.

Jim was raised on the family farm in Vinsulla where he learned many skills which contributed to his hard work ethic. He and his brothers belonged to the North Thompson 4H where their steers won numerous grand and reserve champions. He and his brothers loved sports especially baseball and hockey.

He worked at Balco Forest Products and then moved to Barnhartvale where he ranched. Jim and his family later owned and operated Hyas Lake Fishing Camp where wonderful memories were created (and many fish caught!) Jim’s favorite job was working as a painter and heavy equipment operator at Mt. Lolo armed forces base, where he was employed for 20 years.

Jim was a true example of the benefits of hard work and enjoying the simple things in life. After retiring he enjoyed his favorite hobbies of fishing and creating special projects in his workshop for all of his family. Saturday nights were a long tradition of spaghetti dinners and Hockey Night in Canada. Many skating parties were had on Jim’s exemplary ice on their backyard pond. It’s safe to say that Jim was happiest with a cold beer in his hand and his family surrounding him.

Dad/Jim was a devoted husband, father and friend to all that knew him. He will be deeply missed and always loved.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Huntington’s Society of BC (Huntington Society Canada- huntingtonsociety.ca) We would like to pay special thanks to the very special, caring staff at the Kamloops Senior Village on 2B. We will be forever grateful for the love and care that you showed Jim. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Barnhartvale Community Hall, Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at 2:00 pm. Please join us to honor the life of this very special person.

Ask DRAKE

Janet was predeceased by her father and mother Jack and Mary Derraugh, as well as her father and mother-in-law Harry and Mary Yanchuk.

Mom was born in Winnipeg on June 11th, 1941. As a young girl, she moved with her family to Newfoundland where her dad served in the Navy. Following the war, the family returned to Winnipeg for a short time before settling in Victoria, BC. There she met he love of her life and married John. They had their first son Harry and boarded a steamer bound for Brighton, England where John played a season with the Brighton Tigers in the English National League. John and Janet returned to Canada in 1960 and settled in Kamloops where they built their lives together and raised their four boys.

Janet enjoyed reading, swimming, Waylon and Willie, sunny days at Uncle Joe’s cabin and following the Royal Family; but above all, Janet loved spending time with her family, especially Sunday dinners at her home where everyone was welcome. As her boys grew and left home, Janet enjoyed looking after many children in her home who held a special place in her heart, especially Tyler, Jeffrey and Michelle.

The family would like to thank the staff of Blueberry Lane at Overlander Extended Care for the compassionate care they provided our Mom.

Q. Do you get a commission if I pre-pay?

A. Yes, we receive a commission. Sometimes it’s quite large.

But here’s what we do: we give half the commission back to you. The other half goes to a local charity of your choice. We keep none of it.

In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC.

Pre-planning is a matter of taking the time to think about – and record – your end-of-life desires. It’s a thoughtful gesture to those you love, and a way to let go of anxieties about the future.

Once done, you can relax, knowing your plans are in the hands of reliable friends or family.

Catherine spent her formative years in Kamloops, going to school and eventually entering the workforce. It was in Kamloops where she began her career at the BC Telephone Co. Starting as an operator, Catherine soon became active within the ranks of the union, being elected on numerous occasions and eventually being elected to the position of treasurer.

She remained with the union for a number of years, then returned back within the ranks at Telus (BC Tel) until her early retirement due to illness in 1998.

Catherine passed away peacefully in her home on September 15, 2016.

Janet peacefully passed away on September 19th, 2016 surrounded by her loving family, with her husband of 58 years holding her hand.

KarlHeinz (Heinz) Lampert June 19, 1929 - September 18, 2016

On Saturday, September 18, 2016 the Lord called KarlHeinz (Heinz) Lampert home to be with him.

Heinz was born on June 19, 1929 in Germany to Karl and Johanna Lampert. He grew up in Germany and became a plumber pipe fitter working in a coal mine. In 1950, he met his beloved Erna whom he married on March 24/25, 1951. Heinz and Erna welcomed their first son Heinz Artur on Jannuary 2, 1952, but he died three days later. A second son Rolf was born on January 1954. Heinz remained in the coal mine until July 1955 when he took his family and immigrated to Canada. They made their way to Revelstoke, BC where Heinz worked several jobs until he joined the Co-op Grocery chain in 1961. This sparked his grocery business life. In January 1964, Heinz and Erna were blessed with a daughter Diana, completing their family. 1972 saw the Lampert family move to Clinton and become Owner Operators of the Central Market and in 1981 the 47 Mile Variety Store. They remained in business until October of 1994. Heinz loved his business because it gave him the opportunity to talk and visit with all the many customers who many ended up becoming friends. People were Heinz’s passion, telling stories of “Back in the Old Country” or politics and just plain life. He loved a good joke from the customers. One other passion of his was music, like waltzes, polkas and March music. Heinz loved his four grand kids Katie, Tom and his wife Claire, Sarah and his favourite nurse Christine. His best friend was his son-in-law Chris who he had many laughs, stories and did lots of handy work with. Heinz saw his son Rolf pass away on August 7, 2012 and then on December 11, 2012 his beloved Erna pass away after 61 ½ years of marriage.

He was also pre-deceased by his mother in 1941 and father in 1969.

Heinz is survived by his daughter Diana and son-in-law Christopher Guerin, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren and a half-brother Udo Lampert in Germany. In-laws Egon (Margot) Sommer, Eberhard Sommer, Margita Trempnau, Art (Cindy) Sommer and many nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 24, 2016 at the Clinton Community Hall at 11:00 am.

EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe.

Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear?

Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared.

I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow.

So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow.

Now my life is all confused Since you went away.

You took a part of me And for help I daily pray.

But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time.

Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears.

Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Spawning Grounds a coming of age story set in the Shuwsap

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

hen Gail Anderson-Dargatz is at the family cottage on Manitoulin Island, she often experiences a strange reality — being away from her home on the Shuswap becomes even more real to her.

She said enjoying the tranquility of the island in Lake Huron is one reason to go but “it’s useful for me to go up there because I write about this landscape here and it gives me the freedom when I’m there to imagine it.

“It’s easier to write about my home landscape when I’m not in it . . . . I have to leave it before I write about it.”

Whatever the inspiration, it has proven successful for the two-time nominee for the Giller Prize, the largest prize for fiction in Canada.

Her first novel, The Cure for Death

by Lightning — written in 1996 — was a finalist but also won the United Kingdom’s Betty Trask Award, the B.C. Book Prize for Fiction, the VanCity Book Prize and was a finalist for the Chapters/Books in Canada First Novel Award.

Her second novel, A Recipe for Bees, was also a Giller finalist and nominated for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

The Sorrento resident is about to head out on a tour promoting her latest book, The Spawning Grounds, her first literary novel in nine years.

It’s a story set in what she calls her home landscape, the story of family and nature, about

culture and history and about righting wrongs.

And, while the landscape she could see was not that of her imagination, the spawning grounds of the Shuswap really weren’t that far, Anderson-Dargatz said.

All she had to do was go into the cottage’s salmon room, an area painted tin the colours of the iconic fish and featuring many photographs of the Shuswap area taken by her photographer husband Mitch Krupp.

Writing wasn’t her original career interest, she said. As a student, she had a love of science but at the time she was in school, many teachers discouraged women from the sciences “which is unfortunate because I had a deep interest in it.”

Her 14-year-old son has told her he wants to be an

easier “toIt’swrite about my home landscape when I’m not in it.

”

— GAIL ANDERSAONDARGATZ,

Shuswap author

edutainer in the likes of Bill Nye the Science Guy or science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson “and, if I had the chance, I would have been one of those,” Anderson-Dargatz said.

Instead, she turned to writing, starting out as a reporter at the Salmon Arm Observer.

The need to tell her own stories held sway and Lightning was the first to be published.

It, like Spawning Grounds, is a comingof-age story set in the Shuswap area during

The Spawning Grounds (above) is the latest work by Sorrento author Gail Anderson-Dargatz. Her first novel, The Cure for Death by Lightning, was written in 1996.

the Second World War. It also tells the story of a teenager struggling with her family’s realities.

After its publication, the Boston Sunday Globe wrote “Some first novelists tiptoe.

Not Gail AndersonDargatz. She makes her debut in full stride, confidently breaking the rules to create a fictional style we might call Pacific Northwest Gothic” and Canadian

Literature praised its “sharp rendition of the breathless, sensate moment as the magic in the ordinary is revealed.”

Anderson-Dargatz says her writing has changed through the years.

At first, her stories were drawn from personal experiences and observations but, as she has aged, she has tended “to look outward more often.”

She’s constantly surprised, as she

writes, about where her stories go.

“If you’re not surprised by your writing, you’re really not doing your job,” she said.

Despite having done research and with an idea in her head, “you just never know where characters will take you.”

Anderson-Dargatz will be at Chapters Bookstore, 1395 Hillside Dr., in Aberdeen Village, on Sept. 24 at 1 p.m.

WCT to adapt book

By Dale Bass, KTW Next April, Western Canada Theatre will present an adaptation of Gail Anderson-Dargatz’s first novel, The Cure for Death by Lightning.

Daryl Cloran, former artistic director with the theatre, is adapting the book — and its author, after giving him her goahead, made it clear “it’s your baby now. I’m hands off. I don’t even want to look at it.”

She did, however, sit in on a reading of the script Cloran created last fall and called it a remarkable experience.

“It was highly emotional,” she said of the book marking its 20th anniversary this year.

“I have lived with these characters for all these years and there they were, coming to life. I cried through the whole thing.”

Anderson-Dargatz said one of the reasons she’s comfortable letting Cloran retell the tale of teenager Beth Weeks, living in Turtle Valley during the Second World War, is because once a book is published, she believes it no longer belongs to the author.

“It belongs to the reader,” she said.

While she admitted to finding her spot on the sidelines a bit frightening, Anderson-Dargatz said she’s looking forward to seeing the production, which opens on April 6 and continues to April 15 at Sagebrush Theatre.

“Having these fictional characters be birthed on stage, he’s done quite a wonderful job,” she said.

The play is part of WCT’s (Re) Imagine series exploring the relationship between indigenous peoples and early Canadian settlers. It also includes Drew Hayden Taylor’s Only Drunks and Children Tell the Truth.

As her first book goes through its transformation to stage play, Anderson-Dargatz is still writing but with no direct purpose yet.

She’s thinking of a book aimed at what the book industry calls the young or new adult demographic, readers in their late teens to early 20s.

The idea appeals to her because that group of readers tends to be more accepting of the interplay between genres, with fantasy and “more mashups”, and she thinks it might be fun to take that on next.

Still here after 44 years

W.P. Kinsella was much more than Shoeless Joe

Do yourself a favour, start devouring the Canadian legend’s stories

W

. P. Kinsella hopped the outfield fence and disappeared into the cornfield for the final time last week.

The prolific author died in Hope, deciding on physician-related suicide as the method.

Kinsella will always be best known as author of Shoeless Joe, a beautiful, nearperfect book about a father-son relationship, baseball, dreams and magic. It was made into the movie Field of Dreams, one of the few films to not ruin in retrospect the book on which it is based.

While Field of Dreams is Kinsella’s claim to fame, his prolific output needs to be recognized for its brilliance and breadth, from baseball novels and short stories to poetry collections and the hilarious adventures of Silas Ermineskin, Frank Fencepost and company at the Hobbema Indian Reserve (now known as the Maskwacis, Cree for “Bear Hill”) reserve in Alberta.

I came across Kinsella in the preInternet days, happening to read Dance Me Outside, his seminal 1977 book of short stories that introduced us to the gang at Hobbema.

It was followed by many more, including Moccasin Telegraph, The Fencepost Chronicles and The Miss Hobbema Pageant.

I devoured every word of the adventures in and around Hobbema and recall Kinsella’s books were among the first to induce in me outright belly laughter.

I handed off copies to my mom and one of my aunts, who were equally addicted.

I bet they were still guffawing as they welcomed Kinsella into the afterlife.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972.

The longest serving restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long.

Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.

The current location at 1800 Tranquille road is the original location and as Cosmos says "We never mess with success".

Bamboo Inn is a 100 seat facility that can also host business, staff, or any function and they have a liquor license.

They also cater to large parties with any dietary requirements. Stop in or call and see what you may have been missing.

"After 44 years, our food and customer service is proof enough that we're doing something right" Cosmo says.

BRUCE DUNN, MUSIC DIRECTOR

MUSINGS The tales are terrific despite later claims of “cultural appropriation,” objections to Kinsella, a white man, writing about native life that were oh so much bullshit.

The author, to his everlasting credit, refused to cave to the critics, maintaining Eastern Canadian academics have no right imposing their views on writers.

His so-called “Indian” stories, like his baseball narrative, are wry, poignant, tragic, wistful, heartbreaking and hilarious.

Kinsella based the characters on people he met while driving cab and I would argue he was paying tribute to, rather than mocking, his creations in Hobbema.

I certainly was not laughing at the antics of Frank and Silas; I was laughing with them.

(Kinsella, like me, hated the film and TV adaptations of Dance Me Outside.)

There are also, of course, Kinsella’s baseball stories — and the man hit for the cycle repeatedly with his output.

Lost in the powerful outfield lights of his Shoeless Joe are copious amounts of diamond prose.

Two in particular that deserve a read are The Iowa Baseball Confederacy, a novel that mimics Shoeless Joe’s fantastical timetravelling narrative, and a collection of short stories called

Recently deceased Canadian author W.P. Kinsella wrote Shoeless Joe, which was made into the movie Field of Dreams. He also wrote Dance Me Outside, The Iowa Baseball Confederacy and many more tales.

The Dixon Cornbelt League, the title story of which is Americana personified.

I met Kinsella once, in Edmonton in 1991 when he was signing copies of his just-published Box Socials book at the public library.

(Here is the opening passage, which could be in the running for longest sentence to ever open a book. Nevertheless, it works beautifully: “This is the story of how Truckbox Al McClintock almost got a tryout with the genuine St. Louis Cardinals of the National Baseball League, but instead ended up batting against Bob Feller, of Cleveland Indian fame, in Renfrew Park, down on the river flats, in Edmonton, Alberta, summer of 1945 or ‘46, no one can remember which, though the date in question has brought on more than one disagreement, which

turned first to a shoving match, then to an altercation, and finally a fist fight, though not a brouhaha, the general consensus in the Six Towns area being that it takes more than two people to staff a brouhaha, the fist fight though, usually resulting in bent cartilage of someone’s proboscis, and blood spots on a Sunday shirt.”)

At that book signing, I had Kinsella scrawl his name on the inside cover, with a dedication to my mom.

He was not very talkative.

No matter, though.

Frank Fencepost, Al McClintock, Gideon Clarke, Mad Etta, Ray Kinsella and Moonlight Graham will forever speak for him.

play out as the weekly adventures of the main character, but rather as one epic story that draws the reader into a movie-like atmosphere.

The story abandons the use of conventional comic book techniques like using thought balloons or narration for expository inner monologues, and even uses very little dialogue at times, letting the action dictate the story instead.

Otomo’s gorgeously detailed character and background artwork carries the reader and story along with ease.

Without trying to spoil any of the plot, the book covers strong ideas about the military-industrial complex, the follies of man’s desire to play God, the wisdom of youth versus the stubbornness of old

age, friendship, universal divinity, evolution and many more.

Heavy, heavy stuff.

Before I read this book for the first time, I heard rumblings about it being confusing, even hard to follow, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Don’t get me wrong, while there are some things you will have to think about and reflect upon, the story flows perfectly, and really comes together in the end, even if the ending isn’t what you’re expecting.

One thing to remember is this book is uniquely Japanese; if it seems foreign, that’s because it is.

But some things are universal and a great story is a great story regardless of what part of the world it comes from, and those cultural differences really help this book stand out.

So, yeah — read Akira, it’s truly special.

Things get worse for Kaneda as he flees from the military and tries to learn about the resistance and what they’re fighting against. His friend Tetsuo develops psychic powers of his own following his accident which push him to the brink of insanity and cause him to lash out in violent ways.

Did you get all that?

No? Then read it again, because it does make sense. Quit doubting my writing.

So yeah, that plot summary was a pretty heavy load, but if you’re still with me here, trust me when I say this book is special.

Usually, it was (rightfully) in the action section and not in the kids’ section at the video rental store.

Remember renting videos? No? Ask your parents.

Anyway, as it so happens, that crazy Japanese cartoon from the 1980s was based on a comic book series of the same name. It is the story of ungodly power in the hands of humans in post-Third World War Japan.

Okay, bear with me here: 1982, Tokyo is destroyed by an apparent nuclear explosion.

This starts the Third World War. By 2019, the post-apocalyptic city of Neo-Tokyo has been built on the ashes of old Tokyo. While the war is long over, the city is overrun with antigovernment terrorism and out of control youth gang violence.

Kaneda is the leader of one of these delinquent youth motorcycle gangs. When one of the members, Tetsuo, is injured in a crash avoiding an escapee from a government experiment, Kaneda is drawn into a secret war against the military and their plans to genetically engineer psychic warriors who foretell the return of the mysterious Akira.

The theme for the Tuesday, Nov. 29 gathering at McCracken Station Pub, 1626 Valleyview Dr., is books made into movies.

Each meeting runs from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Registration is required but there is no obligation to attend each gathering. Call 250372-5145 to register.

Chimera Theatre’s first play of its season is now on at Tranquille Farm Fresh, 4600 Tranquille Rd. Set in the tunnels on the property, it’s the story that takes the audience into the mind of a mental patient who might have lived at the facility in 1963, when it was still a sanitarium. The Disordered Mind continues there to Oct. 30. Next year, Chimera presents Mockus by George Johnson.

It’s the story of a mayor trying to save his city and the clown who inspires him. The work, which will be presented at the Pavilion Theatre, 1025 Lorne St., from Feb. 8 to Feb. 11, includes acrobatics and other aspects of a three-ring circus.

DAVID DOSSOR PHOTOS

Foraging new flavours on Vancouver Island CHERIE THIESSEN SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

T

he lush and fertile farmland of Vancouver Island’s Cowichan Valley is not surprisingly home of the popular “slow food” movement, a trend that stresses from farm to table and from foraging to feasting.

My partner David and I jumped on B.C. Ferries and headed over to tunnel into the beating heart of this movement, deep in the valley’s hidden foodie oasis.

Who doesn’t want to sample a sixcourse dinner where morels are stuffed with smoked salmon and stinging nettle or bite into a wild greens waffle with black garlic aioli?

Who turns down a chance to savour morel dumplings or morel lasagna with buffalo mozzarella and miner’s lettuce?

We’d heard raves about Deerholme Farm’s food guru, Bill Jones, and his passion for combining locally sourced products with global cooking style.

I had also read most of his 12 books — especially the ones on foraging and mushrooms — so we knew he was one of the idea people behind the movement.

We had also heard about Fairburn Farm, from where the buffalo mozzarella for our Deerholme feast would come.

A 130-acre farm lovingly worked by Darrel and Anthea Archer and their family and home to a unique herd of River Water Buffalo that thrive in the valley’s lush pastures without requiring any other grains or enhancements.

Anthea says the animals are gentle, produce delicious milk and cheese and their meat has far less fat than usual bovines.

She also tells us this is the only herd of spring water buffalo in North America.

We book a night in her historic 19thcentury farmhouse, conveniently located minutes away from secretive Deerholme Farm, and its monthly themed dinners for a select lucky few.

(Be sure to get the map from Jones.

The roads are narrow and poorly signed and even the locals can’t be counted on to point out the way.)

Not following our own advice and getting hopelessly lost ourselves, we arrive just after 5 p.m. for the four-hour feast, joining 18 others who are being lured to the table by the aromas of tonight’s themed dinner: ‘Wild Foods and Morels.’

“This is what I do for fun,” says the

chef. “I even find doing the dishes afterward calming and satisfying.”

In addition to the monthly dinners, he is also in demand for cooking classes, foraging forays and presentations.

He moved to his five-acre farm in 2000, drawn by the community and the Mediterranean climate that encouraged good growth.

We’re impressed Jones has taken a current restaurant trend, that of the dinner party experience, and combined it with an educational program, interspersing each of the dishes with a short informative chat about the gathering, growing and cooking of the ingredients found in each plate of culinary art and then handing around some of the ingredients he’s using in it so we can examine, smell, feel and taste it.

The stuffed morel mushrooms come with crunchy fiddleheads as a garnish.

The next appie is wild-onion waffle with spice grilled oyster mushrooms and black garlic aioli.

We get to inhale the fermented garlic bulb assistant Rob Young passes around and can’t believe the complexity and richness of its fragrance.

David stops me from sinking my teeth into the display.

At exactly 9 p.m., having licked the sides of the last dish — rhubarb and wild rice pudding with maple jelly, grand fir shortbread crumble and truffle honey cream — we all stand up to give chef and assistant a rousing round of applause.

The next day, after a hearty breakfast featuring Anthea’s own hen’s eggs and her own buffalo cheese, her own rhubarb preserves and her own natural charm, we decide to check out nearby Fairbridge Farm School, built in 1935, and ostensibly a school for underprivileged British children as young as four.

About 350 children were selected from welfare institutions or given away by destitute parents to be educated and brought up on the farm, where it was believed the children would have a better future.

Who knew?

The school closed in 1952.

We’ve been educated, well fed, well rested and have explored a part of the island we’d never been to before, so when we return to the ferry for the trip home, we embrace the idea of roaming close to home.

Ten questions with captain Shirley We always have our trips to A&W. The guys will have a burger, root beer and fries, but Reags is always getting the Chubby Chicken wraps. I have a lot of fun with him. I hope he doesn’t get upset with me.

Collin Shirley led the Kamloops Blazers in scoring last season, registering 79 points, 37 of them goals. The 20-year-old forward from Saskatoon was named captain last month.

KTW reporter Marty Hastings got to know Shirley and his teammates in this 10-question survey: KTW: What’s on your iPod? CS: I probably have the biggest mix you can find, but I love my country, like a good Saskatchewan boy. [Cam] Reagan has got me into the rap lately. I usually rip him in our interviews, but it’s kind of catchy, so I like what he’s got.

2016-2017 Collin Shirley was named captain of the 2016-2017 Kamloops Blazers. His colourful personality will be on display all season long.

KTW: What’s your favourite movie?

CS: It’s probably Endless Love. Me, Daws [Dawson Davidson], Nolan [Kneen] and Millzy [Erik Miller], we watch it probably three or four times a year. It’s unreal. We shed a few tears.

about the dates and taking girls out. We like getting on his case about it.

KTW: If you were going to go to one person on the team for life advice, who would it be?

CS: Joe Gatenby. I’ve got to know him a little bit since he’s been traded here. He’s a serious guy and he’s really down to earth.

He’s got his head screwed on right. The last guy I would go to is Cam Reagan.

KTW: Which team in the B.C. Division do you dislike the most and why?

CS: That’s a pretty easy question. It’s Kelowna for sure. It’s not even a dislike. It’s just the rivalry we have, especially after last year, losing in Game 7. It still hits pretty close to home. I like the battle.

KTW: What is your pre-game ritual?

CS: I’m always knocking on wood. Benjy [Quinn Benjafield] always makes fun of me.

And I listen to music before the game.

BUY 6 BOTTLES OF WINE, RECEIVE A 5% DISCOUNT!

KTW: Who is the most romantic Kamloops Blazer?

PROUD SUPPORTERS OF THE KAMLOOPS BLAZERS!

KTW: What’s your favourite food?

CS: Steak, potatoes and cheesecake. I could have a bath in cheesecake. It’s unbelievable. The biggest appetite on the team is probably Jermaine [Loewen] or Reags.

KTW: Who are the best- and worstdressed Blazers?

CS: The best-dressed Blazer is, besides myself, would have to be Reags. He’s got the cool bracelets, hats and always with the nice shoes. He’s high maintenance when it comes to that stuff. The worst is Connor Ingram. It’ll be plus-25 and he wears sweats and a hoodie. When he stops 40 pucks a night, we’ll let him do his thing.

KTW: If you could trade lives with anyone, who would it be and why?

CS: Probably the One Direction boys, just to see how life is on the road for them and how they go about their business. Me, Daws, Needer [Matt Needham] and Millzy made a music video and threw it in the group chat.

We’re pretty good. I’m right there in the mix with them. I wouldn’t be ashamed of having it out there.

KTW: If you had access to a time machine, where would you go and why?

CS: I’d probably go back to the 1980 Olympics, with the USA and the Soviets.

That’s another movie I love. It would be kind of cool to see how that played out, watch the game and the events of those Olympics.

Blazers, Rockets building acrimony AFTER 15 MEETINGS LAST SEASON, TONIGHT’S TILT IS FIRST OF 10 SCHEDULED FOR 2016-2017 MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

G

reat hockey rivalries are often borne of familiarity, geography and gruelling playoff series.

The Kamloops Blazers and Kelowna Rockets have all that going for them — and could have an Ogopogo-size hockey hate on for each other by the end of this season.

Eleven of the 15 meetings between the teams in 2015-2016 were one-goal games.

Their back-and-forth Round 1 playoff series went to overtime in Game 7, with the Rockets prevailing on home ice.

They’ve already played three pre-season contests this month and will meet 10 times

in the upcoming regular season. And throwing $20 on them to meet again in the 2017 playoffs wouldn’t be a terrible bet.

The 10-round bout begins tonight in Kamloops, with puck-drop on the Blazers’ home opener slated for 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre.

“Kelowna-Kamloops, it’s unbeatable, really,” Blazers’ forward Matt Campese said.

“You always want to beat Kelowna. We all take pride in that.”

Adding to the rivalry was a trade in August that saw Kamloops ship 18-year-old forward Jake Kryski to Kelowna in exchange for 19-year-old D-man Joe Gatenby, who provided insight on the Rockets’ mindset last year.

“At the start of the season, just because the Blazers did have a couple tough years before that, I don’t think our team, in gen-

eral, had as much respect for them,” said Gatenby, whose 18-year-old brother, Danny, also came to Kamloops in the deal. “But the amount the Blazers improved last year was tremendous and, by the end, every game was a battle. I’m excited to be on the other side.”

After tomorrow’s rematch in the Little Apple, Round 2 of the slobberknocker, the teams play only once more before the Christmas break, on Nov. 1 at Prospera Place, leaving seven tilts for the playoff drive.

“We’re going to know them real well,” Blazers’ forward Nick Chyzowski said.

“We’ve got something to prove from last year. We’ve got to come back and send a message.”

Both squads will be missing key players this weekend.

As of KTW’s press deadline, six Blazers

were still away at NHL camps and prospects tournaments — goaltender Connor Ingram, forwards Rudolfs Balcers, Deven Sideroff, Garrett Pilon and Collin Shirley, and defenceman Dallas Valentine.

Forwards Dillon Dube, Tomas Soustal, Nick Merkley and Calvin Thurkauf, along with defencemen Devante Stephens, Lucas Johansen and Braydyn Chizen, had not been returned to the Rockets, but a few of them are likely to play this evening.

Luke Zazula, the lone 16-year-old defenceman remaining with the Blazers, will be in the lineup tonight and, while he doesn’t have much first-hand experience with the rivalry, he’s been told what to expect.

“I know these two teams don’t like each other,” he said. “It’s our home, not theirs.

We’ve just got to take it.”

Moores takes over as Blazers’ president The 2016-2017 season will the first with the Kamloops Blazers under the guidance of Don Moores, the club’s new president, chief operating officer and alternate governor.

Moores, who was previously president of the Cariboo North division of Black Press (with his office just down the hall from KTW’s newsroom), was named to the position in June, after which he finalized the move back to the Tournament Capital from Nanaimo.

Moores moved to Nanaimo in 2008 to became co-owner and general manager of Nanaimo-based Maximum Yield Publications, a magazine and event-management company.

Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi said Moores was hired to improve the business side of the organization.

While Stu MacGregor, Don Hay and company focus on the on-ice product beginning with tonight’s home opener against Kelowna, Moores will be battling to put more butts into the seats at Sandman Centre.

The Blazers’ average attendance at home games in 2015-

2016 was 3,769, good for 15th in the 22-team league, down from 3,994 in 2014-2015 and 4,148 in 2013-2014.

“That’s what I do. I’m a marketing guy,” Moores said on the day of his unveiling.

He played with the Kamloops Chiefs in the 1970s and was an assistant coach with the Blazers from 1985 to 1990.

“What [my hiring] does is it helps bring more focus. It will bring more structure. Chyzzer [Blazers’ director of sales and marketing Dave Chyzowski] does great work for us and is loved in the community. By bringing more structure, we are going to put butts in the seats.”

Gaglardi said filling the barn is a significant part of Moores’ mandate.

“We’ve done a really good job on the business side, but attendance is one of those things that’s lagging and it’s no secret around the Western League there’s a lot of clubs struggling with attendance,” Gaglardi said. “It’s a sign of the times. It’s HDTV. It’s every night there are 12 or 15 NHL games on TV. It’s a different environment to sell in. We know we can do better

and get to parts of the community we weren’t getting to.”

Gaglardi said Moores’ hiring does not alleviate pressure from Chyzowski on the marketing side or anyone else in the organization. If anything, it ratchets up expectations.

“The level of accountability and what’s expected of everybody in the organization will increase now,” Gaglardi said. “There will be more benchmark measuring more often.”

Moores is relishing the chance to make sweet music in his hometown — and it begins tonight in the arena on Mark Recchi Way. “It’s great to be home,” Moores said. “Once you’re a Blazer, you’re always a Blazer.”

Look into the crystal ball

I

’m still not sure if I’ve been swilling a few too many glasses of blue and orange Kool-Aid, but my gut is telling me this could be a special season for the Kamloops Blazers.

Last year at this time, I pegged the local WHL club to finish sixth in the Western Conference. After the Blazers tore through the East Division to land seventh in the standings at the Christmas break, I wrote a column saying they would wind up in fourth place.

They ended up with 85 points, fourth-most in the West.

What does this tell us, other than I’m a flip-flopping hack who altered my initial prognostication?

I’m not really sure, actually, but now I’m going to boldly tell

forwards need to take the next step (look for Garrett Pilon to have a huge year). The defence that looks deep needs to prove that’s the case. Much of that seems up to 17-yearolds Nolan Kneen and Conner McDonald.

Latvian lamplighter Rudolfs Balcers will have to be a secret European weapon.

Deven Sideroff, who enters this season healthy, and Collin Shirley, who broke out in 2015-2016, have to lead the scoring parade, and third- and fourth-line role players must contribute.

If all that happens and the Blazers avoid the injury bug, then Don Hay might even will these guys into the Western Conference final.

Those who disagree or wish to hurl insults at me can email sports@kamloopsthisweek.com.

you exactly what will happen this season, although I may change my opinion in two months’ time.

Instead of offering a final ranking in the conference, I’m going to give you my personal, flexible guarantee that the 2016-2017 Kamloops Blazers will reach at least Round 2 of the playoffs.

I wanted to stay away from a regularseason point total because it might not accurately reflect how

good this team is, as it will be missing key players early in the campaign and star goaltender Connor Ingram might be absent for a good portion of December and January.

They should round into top form just in time for the postseason.

The B.C. Division will be ultra-competitive and lots has to go right for the Blazers if they’re going to win a playoff round or two.
