Another charge against Teichrieb TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
An additional charge has been laid against a Kamloops man accused of using a baseball bat in June to beat a man into a coma. Kristopher Teichrieb was charged with attempted murder following a confrontation with Jessie Simpson, then 18, in the earlymorning hours of June 19. A new indictment sworn this week charges
Teichrieb with one count each of attempted murder and assault with a weapon. Simpson, who turned 19 in July, has been on life support since the incident. His friends and family have said he was celebrating high school graduation on the evening of June 18 and may have been trying to find a group of his friends when he was attacked. It’s not clear whether Simpson was on Teichrieb’s property prior to the incident, but
police initially said Teichrieb had confronted someone in the driveway of his Clifford Avenue home. The alleged altercation, however, is believed to have taken place nearby in the area of Clifford Avenue and Holt Street. Teichrieb, who has no criminal record, was denied bail following a hearing in July. He remains in custody and is expected to appear in Kamloops provincial court on Oct. 27 for arraignment. Refined products from Edmonton are routed by Kinder Morgan to the terminal in west Kamloops for local distribution. The city is also a receiving site for products from northeastern B.C. that are bound for the West Coast. The facility contains two storage tanks with a shell capacity of 160,000 barrels.

Following in the steps of neighbouring bands, municipalities and Thompson Rivers University, the Tk’emlups Indian Band (TIB) has inked a deal that will give it millions of dollars if Kinder Morgan’s Trans-Mountain pipeline is approved in December. Unlike those agencies, however, the band will not publicly discuss the deal, nor has it released details to its members. Financial disclosure documents required under the First Nations Transparency Act show more than $3 million is sitting in restricted reserves in a TIB account dubbed “Kinder Morgan mutual benefits agreement.” Chief Fred Seymour declined to discuss the deal. Repeated calls

to the band yielded no comment on the deal, even to confirm it. Chief administrator George Petel said he would discuss the matter with chief and council for public comment, but no further information was released by the band. Twinning the existing Trans Mountain pipeline has been a divisive subject in a number of First Nations communities. Locally, both Simpcw and Whispering Pines First Nations announced they reached a deal that will provide community benefits as compensation from Kinder Morgan. At a conference in Kamloops earlier this year, however, Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, warned damage from the oil and gas industry is forever, while its payout is short-lived.

He noted the example of his son, who worked briefly on construction of a pipeline project in the Southern Interior near the United States border. “It’s not like my son gets up every morning, packs his black lunch kit and goes to work on the pipeline,” he told the First Nations conference. “Once it’s done, it’s over.” Kinder Morgan declined to comment on the TIB deal, but emailed a statement noting it has reached agreements and received support from a number of B.C. First Nations. “MBAs (mutual benefit agreements) are confidential agreements that define a mutually beneficial long-term relationship between an individual aboriginal group and Kinder Morgan Canada.

related to pipeline construction and related job skills, enhancement of community lands, services or infrastructure, business opportunities and other benefits.” Whispering Pines Indian Band was the first along the route to reach a deal with Kinder Morgan. Then-chief Mike Lebourdais confirmed the agreement is worth between $10 and $20 million over 20 years, with benefits going to elder pensions and youth programs for the small band. Other announced mutual benefits deals include: • City of Kamloops: $700,000 • North Thompson communities: $1.5 million • Thompson Rivers University: $500,000 The federal Liberal government is expected to make a decision on the pipeline proposal in December.

A new plan for the former Kamloops Daily News property could be before the public by the end of the year, Mayor Peter Milobar said. The city has been in negotiations over a proposal for the empty site at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue since late spring. Milobar said it should be clear by December whether the idea is feasible enough to go ahead. Milobar said negotiations remain at the confidential stage, as is often the case when the city discusses property and other business negotiations. Little is known about the proposal under study at city hall, though Milobar said it is a “unique proposal compared to all the others we received, either by the pub-
lic groups or private developers.” The city received nine proposals for the property, which it once planned to clear in favour of a performing arts centre and parkade. Several of those proposals looked for new ways to fund an arts centre after residents rejected a November 2015 referendum on a proposed $91-million performing-arts centre. In a release, one of those groups — the Downtown Neighbourhood Association — called on the city to release more information about what it is doing with those pitches. “There have been no public comments or further input into this project,” said association member Beat Klossner. “While we can understand that Kamloops staff and councillors would want some time to consider the various proposals,

Residents in Juniper West will have something to look forward to when warm weather returns in 2017. City of Kamloops parks planner Mike Doll said two new parks will open in the neighbourhood next year before the start of the summer season. A dog park will open between Qu’Appelle Boulevard and Emerald Drive and a park with trails, picnic space and a playground is planned for a strip of land at Qu’Appelle Boulevard and Myra Place. Doll said the parks are being added because the neighbourhood has begun to develop to the point where more green space is necessary. The city was given land for the two parks by Juniper West’s developer — and will secure a third parcel when more land is subdivided to continue building up the area. A preliminary design for the main park is online at kamloops.ca/parks. Doll said to design the park, he looked at what is already available in Juniper Ridge.

THESE ARE NOT YOUR FATHER’S COMMUNISTS ANDREA KLASSEN • STAFF REPORTER • ANDREA@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.

ot just anyone can become a communist. Peter Kerek had been called as much by fellow letter writers in the pages of Kamloops newspapers, but when he first set out to join the official Communist party, there was no reply. “I thought, ‘Well, maybe for some reason they’ve decided that I’m actually an NDPer,’” Kerek recalled. In his case, a transition in record-keeping was to blame, but those kinds of decision can occur. While signing up for other political parties is relatively straightforward — $10, contact information and a promise not to also hold membership with the party’s direct competition — members of the Kamloops Club of the Communist Party of Canada describe their process as more rigorous. Club member Beat Klossner said joining the party requires both an oath and the support of

existing members, who may vote on a new applicant. “We’re not looking for just anybody signing up just to be a member,” he said. “What we’re having is people are involved and interested and activist. We read news articles, we discuss policies, we read reports and write reports. It’s not something where you just sign up and sit on a couch afterwards.” For most of its
four-year history, the local club has operated fairly quietly in the Tournament Capital. But that’s beginning to change, as the club prepares to run candidates in the 2017 provincial election and releases more statements on issues including the proposed Ajax mine. Klossner will represent the Communist Party of B.C. in KamloopsSouth Thompson, Kerek in Kamloops-
North Thompson. “At some point you have to go out and talk about these things,” Klossner said. “You have to come out of the closet, basically, and be there in public.” But beyond the two candidates, the club’s membership is difficult to pin down. Klossner describes it as a small group that tends to skew older, but neither candidate wants to get much further into
membership specifics. Kerek said the club considers membership specifics to be privileged information, as some members come from countries where being labelled a communist can lead to persecution of family members and friends. Kamloops members meet once a month to talk politics, party actions (on a national scale, the party has campaigned against the Trans-Pacific Partnership and controversial anti-terrorism bill C-51) and news of the day. “We function like other parties except
in different parts of the world. Every scenario is different,” Kerek said. In Canada, he said communism would likely focus on “full equality,” both economically and in terms of race, gender and sexual orientation. Klossner said while many voters may be most familiar with communism as it was practised in the 1980s and earlier, he feels the system is relevant to modern concerns. “With environmental challenges we’re facing, if you have a system of selfinterest, you can’t fix it. The common good has to overrule,” he said. Klossner sees running for MLA as the first step in raising the club’s profile and platform in Kamloops for the long term. “I think the party had 288 votes in the entire province in the last provincial election,” he said. “So, if we get a couple, 200 to 300 votes, that would be successful. “The Green party started that way. You have to start somewhere.”
we meet more often,” Kerek said. Politically, Klossner said he doesn’t think Canadian-style communism is as “out there” as people may think if they know the political theory mainly from high school history classes and media depictions of Soviet Russia. “We always get that,” he said. “Everybody expects the Stalinist robot like you see in the movies. “But I usually approach them first and then afterwards tell them I’m a member of the Communist party and they’ll think, oh, he’s actually a totally normal human being.” In the coming election campaign, Kerek and Klossner said they plan to advocate for state control of natural resources — calls for nationalization of the mining industry have played a major role in the club’s criticism of the Ajax mine — and free transit service and postsecondary education. “Every communist movement is different

TRU wants more funding Shaver tells Chamber school seeking $5M annually for engineering program ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Thompson Rivers University is seeking another $5 million per year from the provincial government for an engineering degree program, president Alan Shaver told the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce yesterday. The degrees in information technology engineering — software, computer and electrical — were one of several asks Shaver put to the Chamber during its quarterly luncheon at TRU. TRU already offers students a two-year transfer program in engineering, which Shaver said is very popular with students. “We have lots of evidence that we have a lot of demand for

this type of program,” he said. With funding, the school could begin offering third- and fourth-year courses within two years to about 300 students. Shaver said the university is already working with technology companies on how to shape the educational experience at TRU, which would include a mandatory work experience co-op.
Chamber members also heard the pitch for a $32-million building to house the university’s nursing program and other health-related programs. Shaver said the new building, which is not yet funded, would add about 100 spaces to the nursing program, and make room for updated technology and training. “We have one of the best nursing programs
in Canada . . . ” he said. “But right now it’s in a very very cramped, old-fashioned space in the science building.” Shaver said he hopes to see work on the building begin in about 18 months, if the university can raise the funds. The university has said it needs about $8 million from the province for the project to go ahead. “We’re making this pitch to anybody who will listen,” said Shaver. “Particularly the provincial government.” Beyond those two asks, the school is looking to raise $50 million before its 50th anniversary in 2020. Shaver said the Impact 50 campaign would be used to fund new research chairs and centres, student scholarships and bursaries and new buildings.
Ex-Mountie elects judge, jury Love to stand trial, accused of trafficking cocaine while with RCMP TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A former Kamloops Mountie accused of trafficking cocaine three times last summer while still employed by the RCMP has elected to be tried by a judge and jury. Randi Love did not appear in person as her lawyer, Brad Smith, made the election during a brief hearing yesterday in Kamloops provincial court. The 40-year-old is facing three counts of trafficking cocaine stemming from a trio of alleged incidents on
separate dates in June 2015. At the time, Love was on injury leave from her job as an RCMP constable. Police launched an investigation into Love’s actions in the weeks that followed. She submitted her resignation papers to the RCMP in October 2015. Lawyers will meet next week to set a date for a oneday preliminary inquiry. A date for Love’s trial, which is expected to take three days, would be set after that. Love made headlines in 2013 when she testified at the fraud trial of her former spouse.
Trent Wessner, also an RCMP constable, was convicted of bilking Costco out of $400 based largely on Love’s testimony. Wessner left policing following the conviction. In 2008, Love worked as the media-relations officer at the Kamloops RCMP detachment, acting as the de facto face of the city’s police. The charges against Love were laid in May. To this point, she has had a lawyer appear on her behalf for each of her court dates. Love is not in custody. A date for her preliminary inquiry will be set on Oct. 20.

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: KTW readers whose generosity came to the fore after they read the Oct. 11 story on a young man who hit a patch of bad luck. Reggie Nelson, 21, has rheumatoid arthritis and needs a bike to get around. As he was visiting an employment centre last week, someone stole his ride. Receptionist Sheila Langlois at the Aboriginal Training and Employment Centre contacted us because, as she said, Reggie is a good guy trying to better himself and didn’t deserve this speedbump in his search for employment. “Why doesn’t it happen to some turkey instead of somebody who’s trying to do something to get into a better place?” she said Readers called, emailed and visited KTW with offers of cash and bicycles, but what Reggie needs is an entry-level job to show he is up to the task. If you need a young man willing to learn as he goes, give Sheila a call at 250-554-4556.
OUR
VIEW
NOT: The glacial pace of redevelopment plans for the former Kamloops Daily News property in the downtown core. In March 2014, the city announced it was buying the property for $4.8 million. In November 2015, voters rejected a plan to construct a $91-million performing-arts centre on the site. Since then, the city has received multiple proposals for what to do with the property, but a final decision will likely not be made until the end of the year at the earliest. Meanwhile, the old newspaper and Bay building remains empty, its forlorn bulk adding to the bleakness of the immediate area. It’s time to speed up the process.

Murder tests our principles
P
rinciples of sentencing in Canada include denunciation, deterrence, rehabilitation and protection of the
public. Of those four main principles, the third is always the one that rankles law-and-order advocates in the country. Had the Stephen Harper Conservatives won last year’s federal election, that third principle may have become mighty wobbly as their Bill C-53 (Life Means Life Act) aimed to eliminate any hope of parole for the most heinous of those convicted of first-degree murder. Bill C-53 never became law before the election. Even if it had, it would have certainly faced a Charter challenge. The Supreme Court of Canada this year killed two prominent tough-on-crime laws brought in by Harper’s Conservatives: mandatory minimum sentencing for drug crimes and limiting credit for time served by accused in pretrial centres before embarking on prison terms. Both were deemed to have violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Of course, the Parole Board of Canada already has the power to implement the goal of Bill C-53 via its decisions on lifers seeking release. Life Means Life Act became the de facto reality for Clifford Olsen, the killer of 11 children in B.C. in the early 1980s, as he died in prison after being repeatedly refused parole. Serial killer and rapist Paul Bernardo will also die in prison, as will David Shearing, the Clearwater man who murdered six members of the Johnson and Bentley families in Wells Gray Provincial Park in 1982.
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
Newsroom
MUSINGS Under Canada’s sentencing principles, however, most offenders convicted of murder will eventually walk out of prison. That is the way our justice system works, with the goal being rehabilitation. When one views the abject failure that is the prison system in the United States, Canada’s model is to be admired. But a case before the court in Kamloops this week might prompt one to reconsider. Travis Johnny was a member of the Redd Alert street gang when, in March 2011, he and two friends attacked Archie Lepretre and his cousin, Shaa Tremblay, as the pair played basketball outside Stuart Wood elementary. Tremblay was connected to a rival gang, the Game Tight Soldiers, while Lepretre had no gang affiliations. No matter to a thug like Johnny, who stabbed Lepretre to death. Tremblay survived his attack at the hands of Anthony Scotchman and Chris David. It figures that the innocent kid with a bright future — Lepretre was a mere 22 when he was killed — would be the one killed. In an online testimonial for the Academy of Learning, Lepretre wrote: “I would like to thank the Academy
of Learning College for asking me to share my success story. After high school, I got interested in being a chef because I really enjoy cooking. After moving out and supporting myself with a full-time cooking job, I began to change my mind on my career. I now wanted to own a restaurant. I knew right then and there that I would need to further my education to make my dreams a reality.” Those dreams died on a basketball court in Kamloops. The man responsible — Johnny, now 27 — pleaded guilty last year to seconddegree murder. Court heard how Johnny reacted after killing Lepretre, texting his girlfriend that he was “LMAO (laughing my ass off)” about the murder. On Wednesday, Johnny was sentenced to 14 years in prison before he can apply for parole. Remember, that does not mean Johnny will walk out of prison after 14 years. It means he is then eligible to apply for parole. Those convicted of murder remain on parole for the rest of their lives, obligated to abide by various conditions at the risk of being sent back to prison. The principles of Canada’s justice system are predicated on the belief most offenders are redeemable and should get a chance to repay society outside of prison. But — and there are many buts in the argument over which principles should guide Canada’s criminal-justice system — there are men like Johnny who seem to be irredeemable. These are the criminals who elicit the cries against that third principle, and understandably so. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
AN APOLOGY FROM GOOD MEN FOR SICK ONES
Editor: The outrageous Trump video and the recent RCMP apology for male employees’ longstanding abusive behavior toward women are a call for a response from good men everywhere. Here is mine: These abusive men are sick and they do not represent me. They represent a sickness of arrogant entitlement that is surviving today in a certain segment of the patriarchal power structure, but I assure you they are not at all representative of all men. I am not like that, and I do not know, or want to know or be around, any man who is. When I hear of abusers like Trump or Bill Clinton, or these anonymous RCMP men, I am saddened by their failure to come to terms with their own sickness and then be able to use their prominence to create something positive by finding and engaging
“
Perhaps the abusers will some day get to a healthier place and be able to take care of this kind of apology themselves.
”
in a very public recovery/healing process that could help show other sick people that change is possible. I apologize on behalf of such sick men to all women, and to all healthy, caring men — those men who understand the immense value of respectful, healthy relationships, and when appropriate, of healthy, committed, loving relationships. Perhaps the abusers will some day get to a healthier place and be able to take care of this kind of apology themselves. Our society is now to be a far healthier place, thanks to those courageous women who spoke the truth about their experience
with the RCMP abusers. “Bravo!” to these fine women, they are my heroes, they have hastened the healing process. Too bad it had to be forced on the RCMP, but this is not surprising to me. I have observed the lack of integrity in this organization for many years with its failure to do its duty by enforcing international and domestic laws strictly forbidding complicity in torture of Afghan detainees and others by responsible Canadian officials (including RCMP officials.) This is all well documented on the public record. Possibly someone like the International Criminal Court will force the RCMP to do the right (legally correct) thing here as well, correcting another very sick situation that hurts us all.

CITY WORKERS SHOULDN’T BLAME PARENTS FOR CHILD OBESITY Editor: solid food sources. quick-fix dinners are GET SPECIAL TREATMENT Re: KTW article Some parents are high in calories, sugar Editor: Re: KTW article of Sept. 27: (‘A call for a livingwage policy in Kamloops’): I am at a loss for words regarding Coun. Donovan Cavers’ comments regarding a fair wage for city workers. Cavers supports city employees making a fair living wage, but what about the rest of us (some of whom elected him) who don’t make a fair living wage? Does Cavers really
believe city workers are more special, different or deserving than the rest of us? I don’t think so. Others have expressed little support for a livingwage policy unless it covers a large spectrum of Kamloops workers and not only city workers. God forbid that in the future Cavers runs for mayor. R. Rainville Kamloops
of Sept. 28: (‘Senator Greene Raine sets sights on fast-food sponsorship’): Sen. Nancy Green Raine should step back and take a more realistic look at the problem of obesity. Her proposal does not deal with the root cause as it relates to children. The first problem starts with parents not providing children a balanced daily diet with
lazy and take the lazy way out, such as constant visits to fast-food outlets. There are no excuses. Most kids on sports teams are not obese. Go take a look at kids playing soccer, hockey, baseball and lacrosse. Look at kids who dance. Obese kids come from lazy, non-active households where all activity revolves around the TV, Internet and video games and where
and salt. Green Raine needs to target the offenders, not those who are active. Let sponsors keep sponsoring and put the onus on parents to make wise food choices and keep our kids moving. Maybe the senator should ban weekend Internet access for children. Don Campbell Kamloops

“OK, so I love kids hockey and support it.

Police late Wednesday afternoon confirmed officers found the body of the suspect in a murder in Saskatchewan on Monday night and the shooting of a Mountie near Golden on Tuesday afternoon. A positive confirmation of identification and the exact cause of death is now the subject of a full investigation by the BC Coroners Service. Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said the body of Sheldon Kyle Thunderblanket was

found within the identified search area east of Revelstoke. “The area will remain closed to allow for a full evidentiary search to be completed,” Moskaluk said. “We delayed on confirming this information in order to ensure that next of kin notifications had been completed, as well as notifications to all the partner agencies who have a connection or interest in this case.” Moskaluk said the Independent Investigations Office of BC has been notified and it will investigate if there is a connection between Thunderblanket’s death and the actions of police.
Two hours before the police release, Revelstoke Mayor Mark McKee told the Revelstoke Review newspaper that Thunderblanket was found near Revelstoke and was in police custody. Thunderblanket, 40, was named as a suspect in connection to a shooting Monday night in a home on the Little Pine First Nation, 75 kilometres northwest of North Battleford, Sask. Police found one person dead and other seriously injured. He was also named as a suspect in the shooting of an RCMP officer near Golden on Tuesday afternoon. The female officer was shot in the arm

Thunderblanket was found at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday outside of Revelstoke. Moskaluk said the search for Thunderblanket was conducted Wednesday morning in a fourkilometre area east of Revelstoke. The Trans-Canada Highway was closed following the incident and people were stopped for more than four hours until it was re-opened. Even then, travellers had to wait for hours while police searched every vehicle while they passed check stops set up on the highway. — KTW, with files from Revelstoke Review

Canadian writer accuses Trump of sexual assault MICHELLE MCQUIGGE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
One of the women to accuse scandalplagued U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump of sexual assault is a Canadian writer who launched her career at two of Canada’s most prominent newspapers. Former People magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff published a vivid account of allegedly being pinned against a wall and forcibly kissed by Trump. Allegations made by Stoynoff and at least three other women come less than a week after a 2005 video was released in which Trump is heard bragging his fame gave him licence to kiss and touch women. The campaign has denied all allegations of sexual assault. Trump himself attacked Stoynoff’s account on Twitter yesterday morning, saying the incident did not take place. Stoynoff, whose social media profiles indicate she went to Toronto’s Ryerson University, cut her teeth in journalism at both the Toronto Star and Toronto Sun. The Star confirmed she worked full-time as both a photographer and reporter between 1990 and early 1993. Present-day Star columnist Heather Mallick said Stoynoff also became a regular contributor to the Sunday Sun review section, where she earned a reputation for warmth, humour and intelligence. Many of the details in Stoynoff’s writ-

ten account — from the description of the assignment that led her to the Trump family Florida estate where the alleged attack took place to her warm interactions with Trump’s wife months after the fact — reminded Mallick of the coworker she described as exceptional. “She was a very open and honest person and that’s one of the reasons I remember her with such fondness,’’ Mallick said in a telephone interview. “She just had a friendly personality. She was a person of great candour.’’ Mallick said Stoynoff was a talented interviewer with a striking ability to develop a rapport with her subjects. She said that ability helped Stoynoff carve out a career at People starting in the late 1990s before reality television and social media pushed celebrity journalism to its current heights of popularity. Stoynoff, who said she worked at the magazine for nearly 20 years, said in her article that she began covering Trump in the early 2000s. She covered his hit show The Apprentice and was in attendance
when he married former model Melania Knauss. In 2005, Stoynoff said she was assigned to write a first-anniversary profile of the glamorous couple and dispatched to their Florida estate to interview them about the past year. The interview took place around the same time Trump was surreptitiously filmed telling Dateline NBC correspondent Billy Bush his fame allowed him to kiss women without consent and grab them by their genitals if he wished. Shortly after the video’s release, Trump categorically denied he ever followed through on his boasts, describing the conversation as “locker room talk’’ and saying he never actually approached a woman in the manner he described. According to Stoynoff’s published account, he employed some of those sexually aggressive tactics on her while a pregnant Melania Trump was upstairs changing outfits. “We walked into that room alone and Trump shut the door behind us,’’ she wrote. “I turned around and, within seconds, he

was pushing me against the wall and forcing his tongue down my throat.’’ Stoynoff said Trump was interrupted by the arrival of his butler, but said he vowed to have an affair with her moments later while waiting for his wife to rejoin him and complete the interview. Stoynoff said Donald Trump later called her to praise her completed article and Melania Trump gave her a hug months later and lamented she was no longer a regular presence around the family. Stoynoff said she confided the alleged attack to a colleague, but opted not to pursue the matter beyond requesting to be taken off the Trump beat. Trump denied the allegations on Twitter, suggesting Stoynoff would not have kept quiet about such an incident. “Why didn’t the writer of the 12-yearold article in People Magazine mention the ‘incident’ in her story. Because it did not happen,’’ he wrote. People Senior Editor Charlotte Triggs said Stoynoff’s silence stemmed from her sense of intimidation. “She was terrified about the potential ramifications of this, and the potential fallout,’’ she said in an interview with CNN. Triggs said the magazine took the issue very seriously and investigated carefully before publishing her allegations. She also denied the Trump campaign’s assertion they were not given an opportunity to react to the story.

‘Impossible to say’ what outcome of new housing rules will be: Morneau THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Finance Minister Bill Morneau says it’s “impossible to say with absolute clarity’’ what the impacts of new mortgage rules introduced by Ottawa earlier this month will be. “What we expect will happen is that as people look towards taking on a mortgage, they will do what most people are already doing and ensure that they take on a mortgage that’s appropriate for their situation,’’ Morneau told reporters in Toronto yesterday. “And if it contributes to
them looking more carefully at whether the mortgage is the right size for them . . . that’ll be a positive for their family and a positive for the economy.’’ The federal government announced changes aimed at stabilizing the country’s housing markets, including tightening mortgage rules that will put new limits on how much some buyers can borrow. The new rules mean that as of Oct. 17, all insured mortgages will undergo a stress test to make sure borrowers will still be able to make their payments even if interest rates go
up in the future. Previously the stress tests were not required for fixedrate mortgages longer than five years. Ottawa also closed a tax loophole so only Canadian residents can use the principal residence tax exemption. The exemption allows homeowners to avoid capital gains tax when they sell a home as long as they were living in it. Morneau made his comments following a meeting with private sector economists to discuss their outlooks ahead of the government’s fall economic and fiscal update.
Morneau was tight-lipped about the details of the update, which is expected in the coming weeks. He would not provide a precise date for when it would be released. TD Economics released a report yesterday that said the budget deficit is likely to come in about $5 billion higher this fiscal year than predicted in March, due to challenging economic conditions Over a five-year span, the cumulative deficit could come in at $16.5 billion higher than forecasted, according to the report.
East Coast homeowners helped by neighbours as they await word from governments THE CANADIAN PRESS
Neighbours are pitching in with mops and motorboats as small communities in Cape Breton and Newfoundland struggle to recover from flooding damage brought by a deluge of Thanksgiving rainfall. Groups of neighbours are cleaning and disinfecting basements, heaving furniture onto lawns and have even used speed boats to chase down and lasso an errant shed that floated out to the ocean off Newfoundland’s south coast.
Meanwhile, many homeowners such as Tracey Drew of Morrisville, N.L., say they have no insurance and they’re hopeful that the provincial and federal governments will help provide quick cash to replace destroyed furnaces and appliances before temperatures plunge. The Red Cross estimates at least 100 homes were damaged in central Newfoundland, while its early estimates indicate that about 400 homes and buildings were damaged by flooding in the Sydney area of Cape Breton. There was
Writers celebrate Dylan’s Nobel Prize for literature ‘Bob Dylan is one of the greatest poets of all time’ THE CANADIAN PRESS
Legendary American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan’s selection as the Nobel Prize winner for literature sparked controversy on social media, but the pick is earning praise among some Canadian writers. “Bob Dylan is one of the greatest poets of all time,’’ said award-winning Montreal-based author Kathleen Winter, citing Dylan’s 1963 track Lay Down Your Weary Tune among her favourites. “If we look at his lyrics and we look at the time span, and the social importance and the artistry, there’s no question of that in my mind. And I think if people are going to get their knickers in a knot over the fact that he’s also a musician I think it’s a bit small-minded.’’
Bestselling fantasy author and Order of Canada member Guy Gavriel Kay tweeted he was “almost irrationally pleased’’ to see Dylan win the esteemed prize. “One thing to value in Dylan is evolution as an artist,’’ Kay wrote. “This is a prize for writing. He’s 75, not the kid at Newport in 1965,’’ he added, in reference to a festival where the folk legend went electric. Queen’s University English professor Tracy Ware said he felt a mixture of “surprise and delight’’ upon learning that Dylan was receiving the honour. “I’m not surprised . . . that there’s some resistance to it, and one reason for that is there’s always been some resistance to Dylan,’’ he said from Kingston, Ont. “I can remember
as a kid [when] Like a Rolling Stone came on the radio, somebody would say, ‘Turn that off!’ There’s people who couldn’t stand his voice . . .” In addition to being the first musician awarded the Nobel literary honour, Ware said the award is typically given to writers who have been involved in social causes. In that regard, he sees parallels between Dylan and Canadian author Alice Munro, who received the same prize in 2013. “She’s my other great delight because she also has been a really private writer, gets involved in no causes, doesn’t sign petitions, doesn’t make public appearances. The prize simply went for her great talent — something that must also be true of Dylan.’’

also widespread and costly damage to roads, infrastructure and bridges. Nova Scotia’s premier says his officials are in the midst of assessing how many people lack any kind of insurance and how much municipal damage has occurred before approaching the federal disaster relief plan. Newfoundland Premier Dwight Ball has toured devastated coastal towns for the past two days and has also said his government will be going to Ottawa for help with disaster relief.

Pundits not high on Canucks IAIN MCINTYRE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Parker Matheson and the Westsyde Blue Wave will be looking to fend off the Valleyview Vikings tonight under the lights at Westsyde secondary.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS RETURN MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
P
arker Matheson remembers what it was like last year, the pressure of playing in front of about 2,500 fans, the burden of representing his classmates and responsibility of playing for a community. But the Westysde Blue Wave standout also recalls how quickly those nerves dissipate. “As soon as you go out there and take that first hit, it’s football time,” said Matheson, the Grade 12 centrepiece of Westsyde’s offence. “It’s just cool to see so many people come out and watch because we’re still just in high school. It’s great for the boys.” Westsyde and the Valleyview Vikings will clash tonight in the fourth annual Warner Rentals Friday Night Lights game, a B.C. High School Football AA Varsity Okanagan Conference showdown that kicks off at 7 p.m. “There was some comments saying we weren’t on the charts,” said Valleyview
Vikings’ two-way player Jagger Reid, referring to bravado coming out of the South Kamloops Titans’ camp. “That kind of upset me. “If we beat Westsyde in front of all those people, it would put Valleyview’s name back out there for football.” Last week, the Clarence Fulton Maroons (1-0) bested Westsyde 53-28 in Vernon and the South Kamloops Titans (1-0) earned a 28-18 victory over the Vikings (0-1) at Hillside Stadium, a far cry from the blowout many expected. South Kam seems to have become Public Enemy No. 1, with talented receiver Kaden Cook claiming wins over the Blue Wave and Vikings would come easy. To Cook’s credit, he backed up the talk by returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown against Valleyview. “I think SKSS beat Valleyview, so they can say what they what they want to say, but we beat them in pre-season, so wait until Nov. 4 and there’ll be a rematch,” said Jordan Defoe, the Blue Wave’s Grade 12 centre. A crowd of 800 showed up to watch Westsyde square off against the Mount Baker Wild of Cranbrook in the inaugural
Friday Night Lights game. More than 1,300 attended the second annual showcase game between the Blue Wave and Vikings. Organizer Cleve Maartman, who coaches Westsyde’s junior varsity squad, which defended its city championship with a 42-12 victory over South Kam on Wednesday, said he expects about 2,000 to enjoy the pageantry tonight. The Infectuals will play at halftime, the TRU WolfPack cheerleaders will provide acrobatics, the Kamloops Broncos’ offensive line will conduct security and a concession will be on site. Family members, classmates, significant others and friends will lose their voices and, no matter who wins, they’ll all go home entertained. For many of the players, it will be the biggest moment of their sporting lives — and they can’t wait to strap on their helmets. “It’s going to be a great game, so definitely come out and support the teams,” Reid said. “Westsyde, wish you guys the best. Keep your heads up. We’re going to be coming with some heat. We’re prepared, we’re ready and we’ve been watching you.”

The Vancouver Canucks have been picked by many to finish dead last in the NHL this season, with at least one pundit calling for a 65-point season. Do these people know how bad a hockey team has to be to finish with 65 points? The last-overall Toronto Maple Leafs dumped six players last season and auditioned 40 and still finished with 69 points. Sure, the 20142015 National Hockey League season saw the deepest, most determined dive race down the standings in many years by teams desperate to draft Connor McDavid. The Buffalo Sabres traded their best player for an injured guy to bottom out at 54 points and still saw McDavid go to the Edmonton Oilers. One of the worst teams of the last 20 years was the 2013-2014 Sabres, who finished with 52 points in 82 games. But their coach was Ted Nolan and the first-line centre was Cody Hodgson, now out of hockey, so that hardly seems relevant now. In the last eight full
NHL seasons, know how many times a team finished with fewer than 65 points? Seven. Out of 240 teams. Sixty-five points are a biblical disaster, scorched earth, the end of hockey as we have known it around the Vancouver Canucks since Marc Crawford replaced Mike Keenan as coach in 1999. Yet, USA Today predicts 65 points for the Canucks and EA Sports simulates 63. If this be true, not only will management and coaches not survive in Vancouver, but maybe none of us will. The hockey season will drown us before rising sea level and mortgage debt. “Sometimes there’s a shock factor to it,” Canuck president Trevor Linden said hopefully. “You get more attention when you make predictions like that. I expect us to be better than last year. “I expect us to be hard to play against and to compete every night. And at the end of the day, we’re going to be in the fight (for a playoff spot). We do expect to be better this year.” Surely, they can’t be worse.

Don Hay issued a challenge to his defencemen earlier this week. The Kamloops Blazers’ head coach dared the rearguards to combine for 40 goals this season. They answered by scoring five of the Blazers’ six goals in a 6-1 victory over the Spokane Chiefs on Wednesday at Sandman Centre, Kamloops’ first home game since opening day of the WHL season. “It’s kind of funny,” said Hay, whose D-men have combined for nine goals after nine games. “We didn’t think they’d respond like that. “You saw them up in the attack. Guys really jumped up and played well. And it was great to see guys score their first goals of the year.” Ondrej Vala, an 18-year-old blue liner from the Czech Republic, and Moosomin, Sask., product Dawson Davidson, 18, each had a pair of goals, their first markers of the season. Nolan Kneen, a 17-year-old D-man from Duncan, notched his first goal of the campaign. Collin Shirley added a single and Quinn Benjafield finished with three assists. In the Blazers’ net, Connor Ingram was his usual rock-steady self, making 29 saves in front of the announced crowd of 3,623, which included Hockey Canada goaltending consultant Fred Brathwaite. The Tri-City Americans (4-3) will play host to Kamloops (4-5) tonight, the Blazers’ only game of

the weekend and their last road stop before a five-game homestand that begins next Wednesday against Swift Current. Vala asked KTW to keep it simple with the questions, noting his English is still a work in progress, but he spoke well enough and didn’t have to say much anyway. His two blasts from the point did the talking. “It’s pretty exciting, my first goal of the season, and I’m really happy we won the game because we had a couple losses before,” Vala said. “After seven games on the road, it’s nice to be back here and to start winning again.”

STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Garrett Ewert hasn’t exactly had a regular defence partner this season. “We try not to take him off the ice,” Kamloops Storm head coach Ed Patterson joked Wednesday. It’s a joke with a hint of truth, though. Through the first quarter of the season, Ewert has logged heavy minutes as a force on Kamloops’ backend. He leads the junior B club in points (14), power-play points (three) and assists (10) and his four goals is just two back of Kole Comin’s six. All that is to say nothing of what he has done defensively. The Storm knew Ewert would stabilize the team’s defence corps, but this? “We knew he was going to be a dominant player, for sure. There wasn’t any question within our coaching staff,” said Storm assistant coach James Friedel, who runs the team’s defence. “We didn’t really expect him to put up a ton of points. We knew he was going to be a force on the backend but the points are just additives to his game.” Ewert played a handful of games for the Storm as a 16-year-old last season, suiting up in two regular season contests and filling a spot on a depleted blueline in the club’s first round playoff series against the Chase Heat.
He was good — especially considering he was an affiliate player who spent the rest of his season with the B.C. Major Midget League’s Thompson Blazers — but he didn’t stand out as he has this season. Now a 17-year-old playing his first full-time season in the KIJHL, Ewert’s first pass has been strong, he’s making good decisions on the ice, he has been playing a harder and meaner style of game. He’s a confident player right now. “Thinking I’m one of the top players on the ice helps me out a bit,” Ewert told KTW. “I wasn’t expecting to have this many points to start this year, but it’s nice.” Ewert started the season in Victoria, at the Royals’ main camp. Despite a strong effort, he didn’t make the WHL club — speculation is, it was between the Kamloops defenceman and another 17-year-old, the latter of whom was a higher draft pick. So, Ewert returned to the Tournament Capital, understandably harbouring a bit of resentment. But he quickly turned the page and looked at a season with the Storm as a chance to prove himself.
If his play continues to trend upwards, it’s hard to believe he’ll still be wearing a Storm jersey at Christmas. “I’m in a good situation right now and if I keep playing this way, hopefully opportunities will come,” he said. The Storm (4-5-0-1) will be at home for a pair of contests this weekend, the first coming tonight as the Kelowna Chiefs (7-2-0-0) visit Memorial Arena. Tomorrow, the winless SIcamous Eagles (0-10-0-0) will be in town. Both contests begin at 7:35 p.m. The Storm have had a rough start to the season, losing six of their first 10 games. They will look to turn things around this weekend, with Ewert expected to be front and centre in the effort. “Obviously, he has been the best D in our league. Hands down,” Patterson said. “I don’t think you’d get one argument from any coach in our league.” NOTES: D Morgan Poirier will miss tonight’s contest, serving a one-game suspension for a game misconduct issued in the last 10 minutes of a game. F Kaine Comin is also serving a suspension, his a two-game bid for checking from behind. . . . The Storm hope to have F Keaton Gordon back in the lineup this weekend. The Kamloopsborn forward has missed all but two games this season with an upper-body injury.
RAIDERS TO SCRUM DOWN AT EXHIBITION The Kamloops Rugby Club Raiders will play host to a pair of B.C. Rugby Union tilts tomorrow at Exhibition Park. Kamloops will square off against the Bayside Sharks of South Surrey in women’s first-division play, with kickoff slated for 11:30 a.m.
The Raiders and United Rugby Club of Coquitlam will compete in men’s second-division action. That game will get underway at 1 p.m. A fundraiser for the Kamloops Food Bank will also be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with all monetary and food donations welcome.

Finlay McPhie and the TRU WolfPack are closing in on a playoff spot, with a pair of important matches scheduled for this weekend at Hillside Stadium.
Down to the wire ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Thompson Rivers WolfPack won both its matches against the UBC-Okanagan Heat last weekend. That doesn’t mean the clubs are done with each other. “I don’t think there’s any question. We still have to worry,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov said when asked if it feels like the teams are still going head to head. Both the WolfPack and Heat are in the throes of a feverish playoff race, with Thompson Rivers’ 16 points enough to land them in the Pacific Division’s fourth-and-final playoff spot, just two points ahead of UBCOkanagan. Even though the Wolves took both matches last weekend and leapfrogged the Heat in the standings, the battle between the two sides isn’t over. “At the end of the day, we have to worry about ourselves,” Antulov said. “The good thing I’m happy about is our destiny is in our own hands. We don’t have to sit and worry about what other teams do. But there is going to be a bit of scoreboard watching for sure because even Victoria and UNBC are going to have to play against each other and stuff. We have to be wary about everybody.” Thompson Rivers and UBCOkanagan will face the same opponents in their final four matches, with the WolfPack set to host the third-place Fraser Valley Cascades and the first-place Trinity Western Spartans at Hillside Stadium this weekend, before closing out the season on the road against the UBC Thunderbirds and the Victoria Vikes. Kickoff this weekend is scheduled for 1 p.m. both Saturday against the
Spartans and Sunday against the Cascades. While the Wolves and the Cascades are tied for third in points with identical 5-6-1 records, Fraser Valley has an easier schedule than Thompson Rivers, with the Abbotsford club’s final two matches coming at home to the UNBC Timberwolves. So, all signs point to the final playoff spot in the Pacific Division belonging to either the WolfPack or the Heat, with the next four matches to determine which. “I think just continuing to do what we did,” Antulov said, looking ahead to the weekend. “I thought we played both teams very well in their home parks and either game could have gone either way. They were two really tight, contested matches.” Thompson Rivers lost 1-0 to both the Heat and the Spartans earlier this season and dropped a 2-1 decision to the Thunderbirds before defeating the Vikes 4-0. There’s no question the Wolves are hoping to avoid similar results and the prospect of going 1-3 in their final four matches. “I think we’ve had a pretty decent stretch over the last seven — I think we’re 4-2-1,” Antulov said. “We’re building that confidence factor.”
On the road
The 1-9 WolfPack women are on the road this weekend, in Prince George to face the UNBC Timberwolves and in Edmonton to face the Alberta Pandas. Thompson Rivers will play its final two matches at Hillside Stadium next weekend, with the Regina Cougars and Saskatchewan Huskies in town to close out the season.

B.C. Lions’ receiver Bryan Burnham caught nine passes for a careerhigh 208 yards in a 37-33 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last weekend. The teams meet again tonight in a crucial West Division matchup. Game time is 7 p.m. at BC Place Stadium.

The Lions need to beat the Blue Bombers by three points or more tonight to win the season series between the clubs and remain in the driver’s seat for second in the West behind the Calgary Stampeders (13-1-1).

Linden says Nucks making progress From A17
Their 75 points and 28th-place finish last season were the Canucks’ lowest this century. Since then, the Canucks have added 30-goal scorer Loui Eriksson and Swedish League MVP Anton Rodin without surrendering an asset, and they upgraded the defence by replacing 33-year-old Dan Hamhuis with 24-yearold Erik Gudbranson. Top defencemen Alex Edler and key centre Brandon Sutter are healthy again and the goaltending tandem (Ryan Miller and Jacob Markstrom) hasn’t been this solid since the Canucks had Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider, which was shortly before they had neither. Oh, and a bunch of young Canucks — Ben Hutton, Bo Horvat, Sven Baertschi — look poised for breakout seasons. So there is no way this team is 10 or 12 points worse. Unless Daniel and Henrik Sedin are injured or play like they’re 46 years old instead of 36. But until the Canucks prove skeptics wrong, starting with tomorrow’s seasonopener against the visiting Calgary Flames, they are what they were last season: One of the worst teams in hockey. “I can’t say every day has been great because there are days that are challenging and disappointing. But that makes you better. I really believe whether this ends next year or in 20 years, I’ll look back and say it was an experience that I valued, ” Linden said. And Linden, the Canuck king who returned to the organization 2½ years ago to find the kingdom close to tatters, will continue to absorb spears from critics and try to explain how things are not as bad as they appear. “Where are we?” Linden said. “I can say this: I know we’re going in the right direction. With any renovation, it looks uglier before
it looks better. I think we saw a little bit of that last year, and we’re
hoping for positive things this year. “You can pick out
pieces and say, ‘That was wrong and this was wrong.’ But when
I look at the big picture and where we started, I think we’re headed in

FAITH
This kind of Christian knows love is love is love
A
t a recent Sunday dinner, my newly acquired son-in–law relayed his surprise when he discovered I had participated in the Thompson Rivers University Students’ Union Pride Parade. “How could that be?” he asked. “I thought if you were Christian, then you would be against that sort of thing.” I explained I wasn’t “that kind of Christian.” I explained my church, Kamloops United Church, is an affirming church, which means we are fully inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Being fully inclusive isn’t just posting signs that welcome everyone. We have an obligation to be public, intentional and explicit about our commitment

FAITH
to being affirming. We have a responsibility to be not just passively welcoming and accepting, but explicitly invitational and loving. Historically, “church” has participated in much of the hurt inflicted on the LGBTQ2+ community. “Church” has willfully ignored the facts of biology, sometimes characterizing gender queerness and same-sex attraction as lifestyle choices or something that
requires fixing. “Church” has pushed parents into disowning children and forced many to live a lie. “Church” has denied couples the right to marry and even been a proponent of discredited treatments, such as conversion therapy. It is important for us, as “church,” to be among the voices speaking up about those injustices. We must also be a part of creating safe spaces for all. “But doesn’t the Bible say being gay is wrong?” my son-in-law asked. There are some passages in the Bible that have been cherrypicked and used as clobber verses to justify discrimination against LGBTQ2+ people. However, the 2,000-year-old scriptures some claim to be about homosexuality are not at all related to

UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF ALL SAINTS

the consensual, committed LGBTQ relationships of today. Two millennia of translation and revision, often of terms whose meanings do not easily translate, makes relevance difficult to recapture. Some scriptures were concerned with ritual purity and include many rules that make no sense in today’s world. For example, it was considered an “abomination” to sow a field with two different seeds or to weave cloth from mixed fibres. The real sin of Sodom? Probably not what you might be thinking. That story was actually about insult to the traveller and inhospitality to the needy. But even the staunchest biblical literalist should not be able to dismiss the most important lesson. Jesus (you know, the guy who put the Christ in Christian) taught that loving each other is far more important than following the old laws. Jesus did not place conditions on that love. To say “love the sinner, but not the sin” is reprehensible. Love is unconditional. Love is love is love. Demonstrating that unconditional

Obituaries & In Memoriam David Robin Lee Landstad February, 19 1934 - September 28, 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David Robin Lee Landstad. Born on February 19th, 1934 on a farm near Rama, Saskatchewan. Deceased on September 28th, 2016 at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, Kamloops, BC. He is survived by his loving children Lorelee (Randy Ruygrok) and Todd (Laura). His granddaughters Nadia (Paul Davis), Alayna (Jesse Steele), Elizabeth and Lindsay and his greatgranddaughter Mariah. He will also be deeply missed by his dear friend, Barbara “Bunny” Chudyk. He was born to Andrew and Beatrice Landstad. They immigrated to Canada from Norway. Dad was fiercely proud of his Norwegian Heritage. David was the fourth oldest of five children. He had one sister Muriel and three brothers Alden “Bud”, Carroll “Colly” and Jerome “Jerry” and who have all passed away. He married Yvonne “Bonnie” Landstad on June 30th, 1958 (deceased from A.L.S. October 2006). They had four children – Lorelee (married to Randy and lives in Kamloops), Lorraine (deceased June 1961 at one month old), Christopher (deceased June 2011 from Leukemia) and Todd (married to Laura and lives in Redmond, Washington). David will be remembered by sisters-in-law and brotherin-law - Lila Landstad, Gwen Ellingson, Joyce and Hugh Calder as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
heavy equipment such as draglines and cranes. He was also called on to fight forest fires. Gardening was a huge passion of Dave’s. His yard always looked like another room of the house. His favourite flowers were Rhododendrons and Clematis. Sports were Dave’s favourite, especially watching baseball and hockey. He played slow pitch and was the pitcher. His first team was the Balco Bushwhackers. He played slow pitch into his mid-70’s. He was an avid skier, both downhill and cross-country. He built many of the original ski runs at Tod Mountain (now Sun Peaks). Golf was also a passion of dads. Dave and Bonnie loved to travel. They saw many countries in the world before she passed away. A few years after Bonnie passed away, Dave met a lovely lady, Barbara “Bunny” Chudyk. They loved to travel to Yuma, Arizona for the winters. However, due to his diagnosis with Alzheimer/Dementia they had to stop travelling. Bunny took good care of Dave before he moved into a full care facility. We would like to thank all of the caregivers, nurses and doctors that took such good care of Dave.

THE LITTLE UNICORN by Peggy Kociscin, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director
Every Friday in KTW!
Q. Why did Murray’s ashes come back with a stainless steel disk?
A. When Murray’s body arrived at the crematorium here in Kamloops, the staff immediately placed a numbered disk with him. That disk stayed with him from start to finish. That way you know it’s Murray.

Serving our community with care
There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue.
He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun. The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.
The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.
In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams. The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.
For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.
He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.
He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.
His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.
All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do. That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.
He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light. He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.
To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.
His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start. Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.
Whatever the chosen service – an elaborate chapel service or an intimate gathering in our reception lounge – it is important that the family’s wishes are respected.
He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees. He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.
His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring... The lonely, bitter tears.
But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.
Our facility has been designed to be flexible in accommodating every reasonable request.
But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.
She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can. There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”
A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.” His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!

More on the art scene:
Graffiti artist Chris Bose (above) adds some finishing touches to a new mural on the north side of the Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Society.
Bose hopes to inspire youth with art JESSICA KLYMCHUK
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
G
raffiti artist Chris Bose has transformed yet another dull and prolifically tagged wall into a swath of colour — a community-driven project intended to tell the story of urban Aboriginal peoples living in the city. The north side of the Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Society (KAFS) is now a mosaic of culture, representing nations from across the country whose people are living far from home. The new mural is
the work of Bose and several youth and facilitators from Lii Michif Otipemisiwak (LMO) Family and Community Services. LMO’s Youth Council initiated the art project for those living at the organization’s A Place of Belonging, a supportive housing complex for aboriginal men ages 19 to 24 who have aged out of the provincial child welfare system. The council is also comprised of Aboriginal youth who have transitioned out of care. LMO housing project director Natika Bock said they all have identified art as some-
thing they’re interested in, but they are unsure how to pursue it. They’re also at risk of ending up homeless or addicted. “They really have a hard time telling their stories or communicating their ideas and art is a good medium for that,” Bock said. “They tend to isolate. They don’t come out too much so this project was a way of bringing them together.” Bose spent several days at the Belonging House painting with the youth before introducing them to the large-scale design, which took about two
months to complete. Bose often works with youth in Kamloops, whether through the school district or the Kamloops Art Gallery. “A lot of youth I work with are super highly creative,” Bose said. “They’re rapping or they’re writing rhymes or writing poetry or they’re struggling with art and they don’t really know where to go.” By introducing youth to artistic techniques and work other aboriginal artists are doing, Bose hopes to give them some inspiration. The latest initiative also aimed to spread
a wider message of inclusivity on the North Shore, Bock said. The mural was placed strategically to express that idea to anyone who might visit KAFS. Its effectiveness already seems apparent as many passersby stopped to share positive feedback. “There are a lot of people who come here to access services every day and it’s beautiful,” Bock said of the finished mural. “You see this in a very marginalized area of town. “We can be transparent — there was a lot of stuff around that we had to watch out for. Lots of things going
on around here and I think this helps everyone — who’s aboriginal and who’s not aboriginal. “There is a lot of beauty. There’s a lot that gets forgotten. People just see homelessness.” GenNext, in partnership with the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo, funded the project through its Youth Initiative Grant. Bock said the mural is part of a larger community involvement initiative for LMO that will hopefully see more youth-driven projects on the North Shore, including another mural.

‘It’s just important for them to hear it’s OK to talk about it’ Author to discuss book on abuse at Chapters Saturday JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
nne-Mari Morrison was a quiet person. She didn’t do much talking in her relationship and, when she did voice opinions, she was told they were inferior. In her new book, however, Morrison opens up — about abuse, suicide and the importance of speaking up. “Now, I’m letting it all out,” the author told KTW in a phone interview from Abbotsford. Morrison will be in Kamloops tomorrow to discuss Voice: Recognizing Emotional Abuse, Recovering Your True Self, which is part memoir and part advice. In the book, she talks about her toxic marriage and decades of emotional and verbal abuse. Morrison said she found strength talking to others and planned to leave her husband. Before she could do so, however, he committed suicide.
“I basically had to start life again,” she said, noting three of her four kids still live with her. The two had been married 25 years and had a business together. Morrison was married at age 21 and never started her own career. She said she is reinventing herself and healing. Along with writing Voice, she has also opened a yoga studio since her
husband’s death. She’s found yoga and writing to be therapeutic. “The big thing for me is doing what I love to do,” she said. Morrison is putting her story out into the world to encourage victims of abuse to speak up. “I think it’s just important for them to hear it’s OK to talk about it,” she said. Morrison also hopes to create awareness about different types of abuse, which is not always physical. “Emotional and verbal abuse is probably the worst kind of abuse out there,” she said. “It’s something you can’t see. It’s not heard about, people don’t talk about it. It’s scuffed away.” Morrison will launch her book in Kamloops on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Chapters Bookstore, 1395 Hillside Dr. The book will be available for purchase.

Annual tour brings Contenders back to Sagebrush Nov. 5 STAFF REPORTER

I
n Gary Fjelgaard’s mind, there’s no such thing as writer’s block. “It’s just called laziness,” the long-time singer-songwriter said — although he acknowledged he’s experienced that lack of enthusiasm now and again as his career completes four decades this year. “I write a bit,” he said. “But I think I’ve said everything I want to say — although there’s always something going on in my brain.” And he has said a lot. Fjelgaard’s first album, Me and Martin, was released in 1976. He has recorded 12 more, the last, All in the Journey, in 2009, as well as three albums with longtime friend and fellow singer-songwriter Paul Valdemar Horsdal — who most people know simply as Valdy. The two of them are embarking on their annual tour of the B.C. Interior, this time pro-

— GARY FJELGAARD
moting the latest collaboration, Contenders 3: Off the Floor. They’ll be in Kamloops on Nov. 5 for a show at Sagebrush Theatre. Fjelgaard said he still marvels at Valdy’s ability to write songs. “He can write anywhere, anytime. You give him an idea and he can write something. He can write it standing in a doorway,” Fjelgaard said of his friend. The latest instalment from the duo who tour under the name The Contenders was recorded live with no overdubs. It’s a collection of some of their favourite songs, including country classics like Yesterday When I was Young, What A Day for a Daydream and, in a nod to the late Stompin’ Tom Connors, Oh Tom We Miss You.
It’s the second time around with Contenders 3, which was recorded last year before the two did their Interior tour, but that’s fine with Fjelgaard. With the two of them in their 70s — Fjelgaard was born in 1937 and Valdy’s the younger, born in 1945 — and with 16 years of touring together behind them, he knows it will be a night of familiar and favourite music, as well as some stories to tell. While the spotlight will be on each for a while, the longtime friends come together at the end of a night filled with what has fuelled their long careers. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 and are at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Getting to know my residents is a privilege. My job is their happiness. PETER, ADMINISTRATOR WORKING AT CHARTWELL SINCE 2013. CHARTWELL.COM
e’re just halfway into October and my head is spinning from a cornucopia of area cultural events (in a BrewLoops live-bands-and-Ferriswheel-in-a-parking-lot, 1920s-costumes-andbeer-tastings kind of way). It’s a busy season and I know I’m not the only one pacing myself. But this is no complaint — having three different arts events to get to on any given night of the week is a wonderful problem to have. Multiple bookings was how I missed a recent live music show at Padlock Studios (padlockstudios.squarespace.com), an upstart art gallery in the old Bank of Montreal building at 175 2nd Ave. Padlock, run by artist Robin Hodgson and partner Miranda Dean, has been on the scene for about a year. If you didn’t know it existed, you’re forgiven; tucked away inside the building’s main entrance, opening hours are limited to Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons (though Hodgson and Dean are always happy to meet at convenience, by appointment). Padlock’s vision: to create a community, studio and exhibition space for local emerging contemporary artists, including recent art school grads. Or, as Dean put it:
KATHY SINCLAIR

THE CITY
“We’re the little space in between to bridge the gap” after school and before being accepted into more established contemporary galleries. (What is contemporary art, you ask? That’s a topic for another column, but for now let’s paraphrase art21. org and say it’s art that “challenges traditional boundaries and defies easy definition.”) After finishing Visual Arts at TRU, Hodgson had been working from his home studio, but found it isolating. In search of a place to connect, he and Dean stumbled on the 4,500-square-foot former Bank of Montreal, complete with original vaults, lots of character, and no drywall. They pitched the building’s owner and had a deal. Hodgson, Dean and friends have done considerable work on the unit — putting up walls, drywalling and painting. They hosted their

first group exhibition, The Case of the Space, last February. They’ve seen several artists come and go from their rentable studio rooms, but one thing that’s been consistent is a dedicated following at their exhibition openings. Which is how the studio ended up hosting a show with bands Old Cabin, Ponygirl and Echo Beach last Sunday. Padlock was approached by David Luca about having live music there, and “it totally diversified the sort of crowd that we normally get,” Dean said. About 100 people attended, with a backdrop of the current art exhibit, Kathleen Lochead’s Relationshape. Tonight they launch Crate of Culture, the first music event in a planned series, featuring local bands The Decoys, Lost in the Woods and James D. Bryan & The Buoyz. The audience may be there for the music first, not the art, but that’s not such a bad thing. “It’s a new way for people to experience the space,” Dean says. And more eyeballs on artwork equals more potential sales for the artist, too. Padlock Studios is a registered non-profit society. Next, they’ll host an exhibit by

here’s an aura of mysterious, wild beauty that lingers in the San Juans, where close to 90 per cent of the archipelago’s 172 isles remain untouched and unsettled. Kayak or boat to their shores and all you’ll find around you is raptors, the silvery heads of harbor seals and a few deer who braved the currents to get there. Known as the “Orca Freeway,” San Juan Island is reputedly the best place for orca watching by land and the whales are often seen feeding, breaching, spyhopping and lobtailing between May and October. That’s when sea life is most abundant and migrating salmon, the favorite meal of orca resident pods J and L, are most abundant. “It’s all about the food,” quipped naturalist Sarah Kirkish, as we headed out on a whale watching excursion with San Juan Safaris in mid-April. Two weeks too early to see resident orca pods, our goal was to find a transient pod, and to that end we followed the food chain to transient orcas’ dining preference: marine mammals including seals, sea lions, porpoises and dolphins. We ventured north
• GETTING THERE: San Juan Airlines (sanjuanairlines.com, 1-800-8744434) offers 15-minute flights from Bellingham to Friday Harbor or Roche Harbor for $89 each way. The views of heavily forested islands and logstrewn beaches from 2,000 feet are utterly spectacular and car rentals are available in Friday Harbor. To bring your own vehicle, take the ferry (1-888808-7977; wsdot.wa.gov/FERRIES/) from Anacortes, Wa., or Sidney, B.C. • Pelindaba Lavender Farm’s fragrant fields and store (pelindabalavender. com; 866. 819-1911) is open daily May through September from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. • San Juan Safaris (sanjuansafaris.com; 1-877-271-0739) offers whale watching boat excursions and kayak tours April through October with expert naturalists. • For information on the San Juan Islands, contact San Juan Island Visitors’ Bureau online at visitsanjuans.com or by calling 1-888-468-3701. up the San Juan Channel, past the grassy slopes of Spieden Island, owned by James Jannard of Oakley, and the state park that is Jones Island. Amid the writhing, swirling channel currents, the orcas’ food source was plentiful. On seaweed strewn rocky outcroppings we marvelled at the hefty weights of basking sea lions, their bodies the colour of toasted marshmallows. They shared real estate with harbor seals and their pups on the far side of the rocks and sharpeyed juvenile bald eagles in the mid-section. But the orcas were nowhere to be seen. A few kids on the boat whined in disappointment but the adults just shrugged. As in any safari, these are wild animals and you can’t predict their behaviour or whereabouts, so you take pictures of the bewitching view, the dream homes perched on the peaks of rocky shores and the island stories of adventure and exploration. Then, you
head back to the island hoping tomorrow’s whale sightings will be more promising. They often are. The hotspot for landbased whale sightings is Lime Kiln Park on the west side of the island, overlooking the deep channels of Haro Strait. A small, picturesque lighthouse perches on rocks that plunge to depths of more than 1,000 feet just metres away and its sheltered cove is a favourite playground of endangered whales and their calves. Pods J and L had nine births last year and — only one calf died, good statistics given the calf mortality rate is usually 50 per cent. The Whale Museum operates a research station at the park and has spent years studying how sound pollution impacts orca whales. Recently it installed a hydrophone, allowing visitors to hear underwater audio at the touch of a button. I pressed it hoping for whale voices but instead received a blast of rumbling engine noise.

SAN JUAN ISLANDS VISITORS BUREAU PHOTOS
“That’s a boat you’re hearing,” one of the islanders told me, gesturing several miles offshore to the only vessel visible in the distance. You won’t find any fast-paced action on San Juan Island, where the experience is all about quiet beauty, wildlife and hiking trails on large, forested swaths of land. A favourite pastime is exploring roads that
into shortcake, chutney and therapeutic oils, and at Krystal Acres Alpaca Farm, where the soft fibres of alpaca wool are transformed into elegant capes, socks and scarves. As the sun set, we veered north on the San Juan Island Scenic Byway for Roche Harbor, once a bustling town where massive quantities of limestone were excavated, burned
wind gently and peacefully around the island. One bend in the road takes you through pastures, meadows and farmland, while the others offer glimpses of the Pacific peeking through the evergreens and miles of rugged beaches strewn haphazardly with washed up logs. We stopped at Pelindaba Lavender Farm, where organic lavender is transformed
and shipped. Today it’s a resort where the rich dock their yachts overnight and exchange stories over pesto-crusted salmon and prime rib. In the shadow of the old lime kilns, a magical aura descends over the harbor, one that melds past and present with perfect harmony. Spend time here and you can’t help feel that life is good. travelwriterstales.com

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
D#5333
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
