RESCUE FROM A ROLLOVER

Calling the attack “brutal” and “determined,” a B.C. Supreme Court judge has ordered a Clearwater man who admitted to stabbing his wife to death to spend 13 years behind bars before becoming eligible for parole. Iain Drummond Scott sat silently in the prisoner’s box yesterday morning as B.C. Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Austin Cullen delivered his sentence. Scott, 44, pleaded guilty earlier this year to second-degree murder. He killed his estranged wife, 33-year-old Angila Wilson, on April 20, 2014, as two of the couple’s three children looked on. “I think we’ve been, as a family, struggling with Angila’s loss,” Dey Stewart, Wilson’s aunt, said after the decision. “As horrible as it is to hear in court how she suffered, it is curiously settling.” Scott and Wilson had been separated for more than a month when she was killed. The murder took place in Wilson’s

Clearwater home on Easter Sunday, a short time after she put her three children to bed. Court heard Scott entered the home as Wilson was on the phone with Scott’s sister. The phone line went dead. Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy said the couple’s seven-year-old son told police he peeked out of his bedroom and saw the attack taking place. The couple’s seven-year-old daughter said she saw what she thought was red paint on the walls of Wilson’s home, but no paint can. Murphy, who had been seeking a paroleineligibility period of 14 to 15 years, said she wasn’t disappointed with Scott’s sentence. “I think it’s a reasonable parole-ineligibility period,” she said. “The judge touched on the pertinent parts and I consider it reasonable.” Cullen cited an “unexplained element of strangeness” in the attack. Court heard Scott had been drinking and using drugs in the days leading up to the murder and he reported hallucinations to police. He was also hospitalized on two occasions in the weeks before the slaying, but was

released by a psychiatrist both times. “There are certain aspects that we can only speculate about what occurred,” Murphy said. “We do know that Mr. Scott says he doesn’t remember what occurred.” For his part, Scott apologized in court. “No words can describe how sorry I am,” he said. “I can’t understand how I could even come to do something so horrific. It absolutely sickens me. It’s so difficult to comprehend or imagine being capable of such a thing. I never would have imagined.” Stewart said the family is looking to move forward and is expecting a family court decision on the custody of Wilson and Scott’s children in the coming months. In the meantime, the kids are staying with Wilson’s family in Hope. “They’re doing remarkable well,” Stewart said. “They’re in school, in sports. “Our main concern was that there would be enough time for the children to grow up without there being any chance of parole. “I think that was met.”

KRISTOPHER TEICHRIEB

JESSIE SIMPSON

BENEFICIARY OF AN ESTATE? If you are the beneﬁciary of an estate, it may seem that you are at the mercy of the executor, even if that person is lazy, incompetent, even dishonest.

Teichrieb elects trial by judge and jury

Fortunately, there is a range of legal remedies available to a beneﬁciary – from the citation of an executor who has not applied to probate, to an order that the executor reimburse the estate for losses, and all the way to the removal of an executor for egregious delays, incompetence, or dishonest dealings.

KAMLOOPS MAN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER; JESSIE SIMPSON WAS BEATEN INTO A COMA IN JUNE TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man accused of beating a teen into a coma following a high-school graduation party earlier this year has elected to be tried by a judge and jury. A lawyer made the election of Kristopher Teichrieb’s behalf during a brief hearing in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday. Teichrieb is facing charges of attempted murder and assault with a weapon stemming from

the June 19 beating of Jessie Simpson. 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 friends when he was attacked in the early-morning hours of the following day. The assault took place near Teichrieb’s Brocklehurst home. It’s not clear whether Simpson was on Teichrieb’s property prior to the incident, but police

initially said a Clifford Avenue homeowner had confronted someone in his driveway. The alleged altercation, however, is believed to have taken place nearby in the area of Clifford Avenue and Holt Street. Teichrieb, who does not have a criminal record, was denied bail following a hearing in July. He has been in custody since his arrest shortly after the June 19 incident. Lawyers are slated to meet on Monday to set a date for a preliminary inquiry ahead of Teichrieb’s trial in B.C. Supreme Court.

NDP hopeful pulls out of race CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Citing personal and family reasons, a prospective NDP challenger to Nancy Bepple for the party’s Kamloops-South Thompson nomination is withdrawing from the race. Lillian Kwan released a statement yesterday that she will not contest the nomination. “My personal and family circumstances have changed and regrettably, I have decided that now is not the time for me to be seeking political office,” she said. Earlier this month, Kwan said she would seek the nomination, but was not yet through the party’s approval process. New Democrats have already nominated Barb Nederpel, who was acclaimed in KamloopsNorth Thompson. Kwan’s withdrawal leaves former city councillor Nancy Bepple as the party’s only declared candidate in Kamloops-South Thompson. Local New Democrat president Peter Northcott said the Dec. 11 date for what was supposed to be a nomination meeting for members to vote between Kwan or Bepple will remain

on the calendar — likely to acclaim Bepple in Kamloops-South Thompson. A new candidate can still declare for the nomination until Nov. 11, but that leaves little time for vetting by the party. “There has been interest,” Northcott said. “Clearly, it’s highly unlikely someone else will come forward.” Bepple’s acclamation next month would make her the last candidate from the three parties represented in the legislature to be in place before the May election next year. B.C. Liberals in Kamloops-North Thompson will vote Nov. 21 for a NANCY replacement to incumbent Terry BEPPLE Lake, who announced last month he will not return to politics when his term ends in spring next year. Bepple acknowledged it appears likely she will be the party’s candidate in May. She said she’s already been working to appeal to voters in the riding. “That’s what I’ve been trying to do. One issue I’ve been working on is the doctor shortage and I’ll keep working on that.”

shelves. Other stores, including Canadian Tire, have taken steps to stop selling clown outfits. McDonald’s is toning down the use of Ronald McDonald and, in the U.S., Target has pulled clown costumes from shelves. The World Clown Association took steps earlier this month to warn its 3,000 members, suggesting performers should change into costume after arriving at a performance rather than show up dressed as a clown. In Quebec last week, a teen was arrested after dressing up as a clown to scare another group of teenagers. In Germany on Tuesday, a 16-year-old boy dressed as a clown was stabbed by a friend after trying to scare a group of acquaintances.

Taxes on marijuana profits CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Clearwater resident has failed to overturn a decision by Canada Revenue Agency to tax him on profits from a marijuana grow-op it determined he operated between 2003 and 2005. Robert Hole appealed a decision by the Minister of National Revenue to the Tax Court of Canada. A written decision by Justice David Graham determined Hole did not declare several hundred thousand dollars in revenue from a marijuana grow, as well as income from a logging business. Hole’s problems started in 2005, when RCMP raided his Clearwater property. Mounties found 90 mature plants and 144 clones in a machine shop and 172 mature plants in the forest. Clones are cultivated to start a second crop. The federal ministry tendered evidence showing abnormally high BC Hydro bills during 2003 to 2005.

An auditor determined revenues from growing marijuana at $120,000 in each of the first two years and $80,000 in the final year, when he was raided by RCMP. Hole reported only $13,500 worth of income in the first year, none in 2004 and $5,500 the next year. “Banking documents also demonstrate that Mr. Hole and his wife were spending far more money in 2003 to 2005 than their reported incomes could support,” Graham wrote. Hole testified at the hearing in Kamloops that he did not make any income from his growop and did cultivate at all in 2003 and 2004.

He also said his cultivation was for personal use to treat pain in his foot. “Mr. Hole’s explanation that he was growing marijuana for personal use was also not believable,” Graham wrote in the ruling. “The amount of marijuana that would have yielded from the plants he was growing far outstripped his personal needs. [RCMP expert] Sgt. McMillan opined that even based on a high rate of personal usage, Mr. Hole would have yielded decades worth of marijuana from his operation.” Active components of marijuana break down after a year or so, even in optimal conditions, the judge added. The CRA reassessed Hole’s income for both marijuana growing and logging, finding he did not declare income and failed to pay GST. He was assessed gross penalties. Those penalties were not detailed in the judgment. Citing privacy issues, Canada Revenue Agency declined to detail those penalties.

Is Your Home Ready for Winter? Tips to Safeguard Against Property Loss This Season. Freezing temperatures and increased precipitation can wreak havoc on homes and businesses if not prepared. Last year ServiceMaster responded to hundreds of calls stemming from winter-weather related property damage. Some damages could have been prevented by taking these extra steps when winterizing your home. · Remove hoses from outside water taps. Hoses trap water and may cause a burst pipe from freezing water. · Have your furnace inspected by a professional and change your filters. Dirty air filters reduce air flow causing your furnace to work harder to heat your home. · Clean your gutters - This will not only promote good drainage, but also help prevent ice damming. Ice damming occurs when water gets trapped and freezes when the temperatures drop

· If you’re dealing with frozen water pipes, apply heat slowly, beginning at the faucet and working your way to the coldest section of the pipe. Avoid using an electric heater to thaw frozen water pipes, as it may lead to electrocution if something goes wrong. · Check your wood burning fireplace and chimney. Every year we respond to chimney fires and they can be devastating . To reduce the chance of having a chimney fire, have your chimney professionally cleaned. · When using a space heater in your home, be sure to follow all safety precautions to prevent fire, scorching, and indoor air pollutants. Do not use them to dry clothes, heat food, warm your bed, or thaw frozen pipes. Misuse can lead to serious injuries, fatalities and fires.

Kamloops RCMP Sgt.

At 2:45 p.m., Mounties patrolling in the 300-block of Tranquille Road on the North Shore saw a red car with mismatched licence plates. Morrissey said the driver failed to stop for police and drove south toward Overlander Bridge. “The RCMP ceased their efforts to stop the car as it approached the downtown core, recognizing that the driver was not going to

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:

NOT: The foot-dragging by the provincial government on establishing a successor for Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s child advocate. Turpel-Lafond left her position this week with a month left in her mandate, but there is no word on who — or what — will step in to speak for the children who need a voice. In a report to the legislature, former deputy minister Bob Plecas recommended the independent office be phased out and replaced by an internal “contrarian” to investigate ministry response to deaths and serious injuries.

OUR

HOT: The decision by Victoria to finally add some Wi-Fi hot spots at highway rest stops to help travellers who might need to access the Internet during their long journeys. It remains to be seen if these hot spots help cut down on the number of people texting/surfing while driving, but the attempt is laudable.

VIEW

NOT: The financial situation at Teck’s Highland Valley Copper mine near Logan Lake. While still enjoying a healthy profit in the last quarter, the mining giant held a teleconference yesterday to warn that the immediate outlook is bleak. Copper prices are at about $2.15 per pound and not expected to rise appreciably any time soon. That, coupled with the fact Highland Valley is now mining lower-grade ore, means belt-tightening will continue. This news comes as the company and union negotiate a new contract for workers at the mine, which is expected to close in 10 years.

Good money after bad

mid the copious claims of disappointment and shock around the council table at city hall on Tuesday came a few words of wisdom from the quietest of Kamloops’ councillors. They came during a discussion on KGHM Ajax’s decision to decline to pony up another $200,000 so a city-commissioned review of its mine application can be finished. Earlier this year, KGHM agreed to give the city $300,000 so SLR Consulting could conduct the study. SLR has compiled about 800 questions for the mining company, but told the city it needs about $200,000 more to complete its work. While KGHM was skewered by some on council for not handing over more money, Dieter Dudy suggested — via a personal anecdote about knowing when to take action — the city quit before it throws good money after bad: “If you’ve reached a point where, perhaps, you’ve exhausted everything you could in terms of getting the initial information and you know that whatever further information isn’t really going to make that big a difference, perhaps it is time to cut our losses and say, ‘Let’s see how the chips fall.’” Last year, when council decided to commission an independent review of KGHM’s 18,000-page application, it was going to fund the $300,000 from taxpayer dollars while awaiting word from KGHM and mine opponent Kamloops Area Preservation Association on a request to help pay the bill. KAPA declined, KGHM anted up and the review began. There were those who wondered why the city, which has no

MUSINGS control over the proposed mine’s approval, would spend so much money on a review when similar reviews were already being undertaken by so many other groups, including the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, Health Canada, KAPA and a First Nations partnership. In fact, there is so much oversight, so much scrutiny of KGHM’s application for its proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen, that the BCEAO in May froze the 180-day application review period at Day 107 so KGHM can answer the avalanche of questions from those groups. As Mayor Peter Milobar noted Tuesday, SLR is replicating work already being done by privately funded and taxpayer-funded groups. And, as we have now learned, the questions and concerns raised by SLR are the same questions and concerns raised by Health Canada, the BCEAO and the working group, among others. Will spending $200,000 of taxpayer dollars really result in anything those myriad other organizations will not already flag? Milobar noted SLR was hired

precisely because enough council members had a lack of trust in the environmental-assessment process, which has proven to be as robust as it claimed to be and which has proven those council members wrong. Short of a federal joint panel review, which is what Ajax should have been under (and shame on successive Conservative and Liberal governments for their refusal), authorities have gone above and beyond on the Ajax file. In January 2013, Scott Bailey, the BCEAO’s executive project director for the KGHM application, made it clear during a presentation at Thompson Rivers University that the Ajax proposal is alone among all previous environment-assessment proposals in the magnitude of attention given the process. No other project has seen the BCEAO hire its own socio-economic consultant; no other project (save for one, possibly, decades ago) has seen the creation of a community advisory group; few other projects have received multiple (rather than one as required) public-consultation periods; few other projects are afforded the maximum 75-day public-commenting period and few other projects require the proponent to hold as many community-consultation meetings. And few are the project review periods that BCEAO will freeze for six months or more so the proponent can answer questions from various groups. Yet we still have a unanimous Kamloops council decision to spend precious cash on something already being done by many others. Why? editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THEFT DISAPPOINTED MANY DOES THE CITY THINK

WE DON’T DESERVE SIDEWALKS IN BROCK?

Editor: For years, bush travellers in the Mt. Lolo area have delighted in seeing a full-sized “skeleton” I made from animal bones. My old boots hanging from it thrilled my grandchildren on every ride. On Saturday, Oct. 22, our anticipation turned to disappointment and disgust when we discovered someone has stolen it. What do I say when my grandchildren ask, “Why did someone take our skeleton, granddad?” The lack of respect astounds me, but I believe what goes around comes around. If you see what you think is my stolen “skeleton” in your neighbour’s yard, you had better lock up your stuff. John Bade Kamloops

Editor: I live in west Brocklehurst and I’m wondering what the so-called Tranquille beautification committee is doing to make our neighbourhood better. We have seen no improvements whatsoever. We still have no sidewalks west of Southill Street. It’s horrible during the winter as the roadside is icy or full of puddles. Every time a big gas tanker goes by, we get soaked with dirty spray from its 30 tires. Does the city think we don’t deserve a sidewalk? Dozens of these tankers go through our neighbourhoods day and night — every day. The reason is that it’s easier for them to get

TRU student suing university alleging sub-par teaching standards CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Thompson Rivers University student who registered for classes in the fall is suing the university in provincial court, claiming instructors and materials were not up to standard. Justin Gross of Lethbridge filed a notice of claim in small claims court. He is seeking about

$2,500 to compensate him for tuition and other fees. Gross claims he registered for classes in fall this year “and confirmed that appropriate faculty would be teaching the classes.” The lawsuit alleges students were instead given a junior instructor for required labs. Gross said the university assured him the same quality of instruction would be offered, but claims it

failed to deliver. “After week four, I had experienced consistent contradictory and wrong information to questions posed during labs, which impacted my lab and class marks,” Gross said in his claim. The university declined to comment on Gross’s lawsuit directly, but forwarded policy showing avenues for student appeals. Students can with-

draw from classes in the first two weeks and receive full refund of tuition. After that date, based on “extenuating circumstances,” students can withdraw based on medical or other circumstances and receive tuition refunds, but they require documentation. TRU provided statistics showing undergraduate students withdraw from, or fail

to complete, individual classes about six per cent of the time. Following his complaints, Gross claims TRU representatives stated, “I was potentially experiencing mental health issues,” alleging he was banned from attending classes. The university has not yet filed a statement of defence. None of the allegations have been heard or proven in court.

and Thomas Blair rescued a woman who was in danger of drowning in the Thompson River. She had fallen through the ice while trying to rescue her dog some 20 metres from shore. Forming a human chain on the thin, fragile ice, Blair, Kent and Reid managed to pull the victim out of the water and

bring her to safety. Blair was recognized at an earlier ceremony. On Feb. 27, 2014, Heide, Kris Gunderson of Delta and Justin Huska of Vernon rescued two people trapped in a burning vehicle near Cache Creek. Alerted by a passenger waving for attention through the car’s sunroof, Huska pulled the

woman to safety before returning with Gunderson and Heide for the second victim. Despite the flames and smoke coming through the broken windows, they used a pry bar to gain access to the driver and brought him a safe distance away. Gunderson and Huska will also be honoured today in Ottawa.

Highland Valley Copper warned yesterday that profits are threatened from continued low copper prices and the mine’s planned move into lower grade ore. Those factors are already evident in parent company Teck Resources’ latest financial statements, which show the mine eked out a $9-million gross profit in the third quarter this year— down from $74 million during the same period in 2015. Highland Valley Copper issued a statement through its community-affairs manager warning of lower profitability for the mine that employs 1,300 workers. “Since 2011, copper prices have fallen 46 per cent and remain very low,” Peter Martell said. At the same time, copper production is expected to decline 35 to 40 per cent after higher grade ore is exhausted in the Valley pit. Production is now moving into

the lower-grade historical Lornex pit. “The combination of these factors makes Highland Valley’s financial position very challenging going forward,” Martell said. The mine has reduced its operating costs by $75 million in the past year and is seeking more savings. Those cost reductions resulted in part from savings on diesel fuel. The company released the statement about its looming financial challenges amid contract negotiations with United Steelworkers. The agreement expired at the end of September. Teck officials declined to comment on negotiations. In a letter to members last month, union president Kyle Wolff called the contract at Highland Valley Copper “one of the best in Canada” and warned the company is looking to save on labour. “The requests the Company have put on the table are ridiculous, overzealous and extremely unreasonable due to their eco-

nomic stability,” Wolff said in the statement to members. “We have not taken a concession in 30 years and we are not going to take one now.” Copper prices have recovered recently after hitting a bottom below US$2 a pound, but remain lower than last year. The average price for the first nine months of 2015 was $2.61 compared to $2.14 this year. Longer term, however, Teck forecasts demand will improve due to governments in North America and Europe ramping up infrastructure spending. There is also promise with growth of the electric vehicle market, particularly in China. Electric vehicles require about three times the amount of copper wiring compared to conventional cars and trucks. While profits are declining and forecasted to worsen, Highland Valley Copper is on track to record more than $95 million in gross profit this year. Profit at the mine peaked in 2006, when it totalled more than $1 billion.

KTW’s Cheer Fund returns JESSICA KLYMCHUK

Lend a hand this season

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

he Kamloops This Week Christmas Cheer Fund campaign returns next week, raising funds to support agencies that provide essential services in our community. Five charities were selected by the Cheer Fund committee last year — Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, New Life Community Kamloops, Family Tree Family Centre, Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre and Sensational Soups. Also in 2015, the committee implemented a new structure, deciding to support the selected agencies for two years to provide stable funding the organizations could rely on and allow for short-term planning. Since KTW took over the campaign in 2014, it has raised $106,911. Last year the campaign raised $57,245, with each charity receiving $10,720. As agencies see an increase in demand through the Christmas season, holiday campaigns help fund much needed supplies essential to their operations. Stan Dueck, executive director of New Life Community Kamloops, said dollars raised through the Cheer Fund come at a crucial time. The organization feeds more than 100 people every day and its yearly grocery bill comes in at around $100,000. “Lots of the donations come in probably

between the first of October, Thanksgiving but, on Dec. 26 or Dec. 27, it’s almost like somebody shut off the tap to any kind of revenue coming in the door,” Dueck said. “Christmas Cheer Fund just comes in at that awesome time, early in the new year, really when you desperately need those funds again.” Much like New Life Community, Sensational Soups relies on the Cheer Fund to purchase food for twice-weekly meals served to the lowincome and homeless population. Its expenses have increased since a food-share program it relied on is no longer providing donations of canned goods. “That was a big expense, to start buying salmon, tuna, chicken and ham for sandwiches,” said Delores Owen, manager of Sensational Soups. “The price of food has gone up significantly and I don’t know what we’d do without you, honestly. If we didn’t have your funding, we couldn’t function. That’s the bottom line. “When it first started, it was sort of private and I made a lot of placemats to sell to generate income but we had no income so it was a real amazing blessing to get you guys on board.” Women’s shelters have been a recipient

Gregg Drinnan stared the Christmas Cheer Fund in Regina in 1992 and brought it to Kamloops when he became sports editor at the Kamloops Daily News. Kamloops This Week, in partnership with the United Way Thompson-NicolaCariboo, adopted the Christmas Cheer Fund in 2014, continuing the Kamloops tradition that has become pillar in the community. This year’s campaign kicks off Nov. 1 and runs to Dec. 29. Donations can be made at the KTW office, 1365B Dalhousie Dr., and at the United Way office, 177 Victoria St., or online via kamloopsthisweek. com. Cheques can also be mailed to KTW, 1365B Dalhousie Dr., Kamloops, V2C 5P6. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $20 and greater. Donors will be thanked in upcoming editions of KTW as we update readers on the progress of the fund, which will once again be tracked on our festive window display greeting everyone who drops by the office. — Jessica Klymchuk of Cheer funds since Gregg Drinnan started the campaign. Last year, KTW established longtime beneficiary the Y Women’s Shelter, as the fund’s legacy charity. In the coming weeks, KTW will highlight each charity so donors can see where money is going and how essential each donation is.

Diwali celebrated tomorrow JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Yasmin Shankar is counting down the nights until Diwali. The Kamloops Hindu Cultural Society board member went to Vancouver to purchase her sari in anticipation of the once-in-a-year celebration of lights. “The best, best thing about it — everybody wears new clothes,” Shankar told KTW. “Everybody has to wear new clothes. It’s a new year for all of us.” Diwali is celebrated by Indians all over the world each year in the fall. In Hindu culture, the event honours the return of Lord Rama after 14 years of exile, when it is believed people lit oil lamps to light his return. This year, Diwali is on Sunday, but the local society will celebrate tomorrow (Oct. 29) at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Shankar expects about 400 people to attend the event, which will feature food, dancing and prizes. Thompson Rivers University students will perform solo, ballroom and group dancing. “We’ll have appetizers and 50-50 and door prizes,” Shankar said. “Everybody in the hall — we’re going to rock the hall.” Shankar expects the event to be colourful, with everyone’s new outfits on display, but the space will also be decorated with many lights, diya (oil lamps) and rangoli (colourful drawings). “It’s just going to be beautiful,” Shankar said. This year’s event is also significant because the

society is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Special booklets will be given out providing guests with historical information and highlighting efforts to celebrate Hindu culture in the region. “It has grown so much,” Shankar said. While Diwali is celebrated in Hindu culture, all are welcome to attend the festival of lights. “Come enjoy and celebrate Diwali with us,” Shankar said. “Enjoy the good food, enjoy the dancing and, if you get lucky, you’ll win a prize.” Prizes have been donated by Save-On Foods, Safeway, Walmart, Flavours of India and more. Tickets for the event are $45 for non-members, $35 for members, $30 for students, $20 for kids ages five to 12 and free for toddlers. They can be purchased in advance by calling Shankar at 250-571-7611 or by visiting Flavours of India, 610 West Columbia St., or the Lamplighter Motel, 901 Trans-Canada Hwy. For more information, search for the event on Facebook.

ro-life advocates who have been holding signs on Third Avenue just south of Columbia Street since late September say they are saddened by “vulgar” messages being conveyed by duelling pro-choice campaigners protesting a few yards away — but the pro-choicers say they are just looking out for the best interests of women. “For a lot of us, either personally or through friends, we know women who have had abortions,” said Wren Anthony, a member of the Kamloops Pro-Choice Society. “They feel bad enough already. We want to support women in whatever they do.” The pro-choice advocates have been protesting the 40-day pro-life campaign almost since it began on Sept. 28. Pro-choice protestors have been holding signs at the busy intersection of Third Avenue and Columbia Street, some of them bearing crude messages, trying to spread their message. One sign used pro-life reasoning to compare oral sex to cannibalism. Another said, “If I wanted the church in my vagina, I’d bang a priest.” “It’s heartbreaking,” said Kathy Dahl, a spokeswoman for the 40 Days of Life campaign. “I feel that women have let me down. “Nowadays, women seem to think being a liberated woman means — they’ve missed the point. You want to be the best person you can be, man or woman.” Anthony disagreed, saying it’s all about starting and facilitating a conversation. “If our campaign forces parents to talk to their kids about blow jobs, abortion, medical euthanasia, where’s the problem?” she said. “I think a blanket approach to say all these things are negative hurts everybody.” Domenica Spina, another 40 Days of Life spokeswoman, said her group plans to meet with the pro-choice advocates once the 40-day campaign wraps up on Nov. 6. “We’ve gone out and talked to them,” she said. “They said after the 40 days we could reach out to them by Facebook and get out and have a conversation.”

Only a few days left to WIN

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has named nine new, non-partisan senators, bringing him within reach of his goal to transform the discredited Senate into a more reputable, independent chamber of sober second thought. The five women and four men hail from a wide variety of backgrounds, from an art historian to a renowned human rights lawyer to a conservationist. All will sit as independents in the Senate. They are the first senators to be chosen under an arm’s-length process that saw more than 2,700 people apply to fill the 21 vacancies in the 105-seat upper house. Trudeau is poised to announce two more batches of appointments within days, filling the remaining 12 empty seats — six from Quebec, six from Ontario — and, for the first time, putting senators with no partisan affiliation in the driver’s seat. When he’s done, independent senators will hold a plurality of 44 seats, outnumbering the Conservatives’ 40 and the independent Liberals’ 21. Trudeau called the appointment process “merit-based and open.’’ “It is part of our ongoing efforts to

make the Senate more modern and independent and ensure that its members have the depth of knowledge and experience to best serve Canadians,’’ he said in a statement Thursday. But while a premium is supposed to be put on merit, the new process does not preclude people who have been involved in partisan politics. And at least three of the newcomers have some links to federal politics, although none would qualify as “hacks, flacks and bagmen,’’ the sobriquet used to be routinely applied to senators. Manitoba lawyer and human rights activist Marilou McPhedran has regularly contributed small donations to Trudeau’s Liberal party, totalling just more than $1,400 in 2015 and $825 so far this year, according to Elections Canada’s contributions data base. Another Manitoba appointee, art historian Patricia Bovey, is the widow of the late John Harvard, a former Liberal MP who served as the province’s lieutenant governor. Prince Edward Island conservationist Diane Griffin, meanwhile, appears to have donated $250 to the Green Party in 2013 and just less than $250 to the Conservative party in 2014. The other new senators do not appear to have donated to any federal party over the

past five years. They are: • Yuen Pau Woo, former president of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada and currently senior fellow in public policy at the Asian Institute of Research at the University of British Columbia. • Winnipeg psychiatrist and palliative care expert Harvey Chochinov. • New Brunswick francophone Rene Cormier, president of the Societe Nationale de l’Acadie, the lead organization for the international strategy for the promotion of Acadian artists. • New Brunswick women’s issues expert Nancy Hartling. • Nova Scotia social worker and educator Wanda Thomas Bernard, the first African-Canadian to be promoted to full professor at Dalhousie University. • Daniel Christmas, senior adviser for the Mi’kmaw First Nation of Membertou, N.S. Trudeau took the first step toward transforming the Senate in January 2014, when he kicked senators out of the Liberal caucus in a bid to diminish the hyper-partisanship he maintained had destroyed the Senate’s intended role as an independent chamber of sober second thought. Shortly after taking power last fall, Trudeau created an arm’s-length advisory board to rec-

ommend nominees to fill Senate vacancies. In the initial phase of its work, the board accepted nominations of potential senators from organizations across the country. It recommended 25 of them to Trudeau, from which he named seven independent senators in March, including veteran bureaucrat Peter Harder to be the government’s representative in the upper house. Yesterday’s nine are the first to be appointed under the second, permanent phase, under which individuals can apply directly to the board to become senators. In addition to the independents so far appointed by Trudeau, some senators have left the Conservative and Liberal Senate caucuses to join the ranks of nonaligned senators. With their imminent plurality in the chamber, Harder said the independents will be able to hasten the evolution of the upper house, whose operation has traditionally been geared to senators belonging to a governing party caucus and an opposition caucus. He said the “highest priority’’ must now be given to changing Senate rules to recognize that “all senators are equal’’ and to give the non-aligned senators their fair share of budgets and membership on Senate committees. He noted that the independents now hold about 43 per cent of the seats in the Senate but only make up 17 per cent of the membership of committees, where the Conservatives continue to hold a majority. “It’s a work in progress,’’ Harder said of the Senate’s evolution. “You don’t with one flick of the switch change a culture or change a public perception.’’ He added: “It’s for us to demonstrate that we can, in fact, be a chamber that is modern, that has changed, that earns and has earned public respect that this institution deserves and has not always enjoyed.’’

Feds defend Pacific NorthWest LNG decision as court challenges filed THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The federal government says it is standing behind its decision to approve the massive Pacific NorthWest LNG project on British Columbia’s northern coast. The response comes the same day two First Nations and an environmental group filed legal action against the $11.4-billion terminal near Prince Rupert in Federal Court. The Gitwilgyoots Tribe of

the Lax Kw’alaams, Gitanyow Hereditary Chiefs and SkeenaWild Conservation Trust filed separate applications for judicial review, which aim to quash the federal government’s decision. The two indigenous groups allege the government failed to properly consult with them, while SkeenaWild is challenging the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s conclusion the project will have no significant impact on salmon.

TORONTO — Media and rights groups won the right to intervene in a news outlet’s appeal of an order one of its reporters turn over his materials to the RCMP. The ruling by Ontario’s chief justice over objections of the government comes in a case pitting journalistic rights against police investigating potential criminal offences. Justice George Strathy rejected Crown arguments the groups were trying to reinterpret already wellsettled law or introduce evidence not already before the court. The case involves an order that reporter Ben Makuch and Vice Media hand over materials related to interviews he

did with Canadian man Farah Shirdon, whom the RCMP accuses of terrorism offences. Police argued the material is crucial to their investigation. The three separate groups allowed to intervene in Vice’s appeal — to be heard in February — comprise an eight-member media coalition including CBC and APTN, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. In arguing for status at the appeal, coalition lawyer Justin Safayeni said it should come as no surprise the case has garnered interest. “This case is about when production orders can be used to compel journalists to turn over records,’’ Safayeni told

Strathy. He said its ruling will create guidance to police and courts in future cases. All three intervenors said they offered a unique and informed perspective and would not duplicate Vice’s submissions. Among other things, Vice argues allowing police to conscript reporters into helping investigations would make sources reluctant to come forward and hamper the media’s ability to inform. In opposing the interventions, Crown lawyer Sarah Shaikh said the case turns on “accepted law” and intervenors were trying to relitigate matters the Supreme Court of Canada has already decided. “That is what the

Phone costs additional punishment? BILL GRAVELAND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Manitoba jails up phone rates for inmates

Prisoner advocates say charging inmates exorbitant rates to call loved ones from jail could hinder their chances for rehabilitation and make it more difficult for them to reintegrate into society. “Once a person goes to court and is found guilty and sentenced — that’s their

punishment. “They’re not supposed to be further punished when they’re inside,’’ said Chris Hay, executive director of the John Howard Society in Edmonton. “Research shows us the closer you can keep someone to society once they’re incarcerated, the easier it will be to rein-

tegrate them after the fact. I lose sleep at night about people coming out of prison because I know they’re coming out worse than when they went in.” Manitoba jails recently began charging inmates new phone rates, including a $3 flat rate for calls that last up to 15 minutes.

That amounts to a day’s pay for a prisoner who has a job on the inside. Phone calls, allowing inmates to have a lifeline to family and friends, used to be essentially free. But now prisoners who can’t pay are out of luck unless their family can foot the bill. “It was kind of a shock,” said William, a Winnipeg resident who didn’t want his last name used. His brother is inside a provincial correctional facility and would talk to the family up to an hour a day.

“The price basically went from zero and, under what he was calling previously, it would have been about $700 per month,’’ he said. “We can do half of what he was talking previously, which is still about $350 a month, which is definitely tough to afford.’’ Manitoba signed a five-year contract with Texas-based Synergy Inmate Phone Solutions, which came into effect Oct. 17. Amy McGuinness, spokesperson for Manitoba Justice Minister Heather Stefanson, said in an anyone in remand custody can have up to three calls per day at no cost.

SOMETIMES DONALD TRUMP IS RIGHT

ven a broken clock is right twice a day. Donald J. Trump’s record is not that good, but he does get it right once in a while. He got it right on Tuesday when he said Hillary Clinton would be dangerously agressive in Syria if she wins the presidency. Trump went too far, of course. He always does. He claimed Clinton would trigger World War III with her Syrian policy, which is utter nonsense. Given the current international balance of power, it is almost impossible to get a Russian-American war going. The Russians simply aren’t that stupid. Even a new Cold War is hard to imagine. The Russians know they would lose it in only a few years, so they would refuse to play their allotted role in any such scenario. But U.S.-Russian diplomatic relations would get distinctly frosty for a while — and the United States in the meantime would be up to its neck in the Syrian civil war and betting on the wrong horse. What Trump actually said, in an interview conducted in his Florida golf resort between bites of fried egg and sausages, was that the United States should focus on defeating ISIS. “We should not be focusing on Syria. You’re going to end up in World War III over Syria if we listen to Hillary Clinton,” Trump said. The Clinton policy in question is her

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH promise (repeated in the third debate) to declare a no-fly zone and safe zones on the ground in Syria to protect non-combatants. Those zones, of course, would deny the Syrian government the chance to recover the territory it has lost to the rebels and deprive the Russian air force of the ability to help it in that task. But what if the Syrians and the Russians don’t accept that the United States has the right to set up no-fly zones on Syrian territory just because it feels like it? What if they send their planes into those zones and dare the U.S. to shoot them down? The United States then has to choose between backing down and being publicly humiliated — or shooting down Russian aircraft and (according to Trump) starting a third world war. “You’re not fighting Syria any more, you’re fighting Syria, Russia and Iran, all right?” Trump explained. “If Hillary Clinton set up her no-fly zones and safe zones, she would be asking for a war with Russia.” She would indeed

be asking for it — but she knows she probably would not get it. The Russians might shoot down a few American planes in response and the United Nations would plead with both sides to show restraint. By then, both sides would be sufficiently frightened that they would be all too happy to back away from their confrontation. The Russians would be especially happy to do so because they know perfectly well they could not win a war with the United States. Even leaving aside the question of nuclear weapons (which make such a war unthinkable), Russia is simply not a credible rival to the United States any more. It has half the population of the former Soviet Union and an economy a 10th the size of America. So, Clinton would not really be courting World War III if she did what she has promised. She would, however, be doing something reckless and stupid. After Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, the United States really does not need to get more deeply entangled in another unwinnable war in the Middle East. What Trump is advocating is actually the policy President Barack Obama has been following during the five years of the Syrian civil war: concentrate on eliminating ISIS and do not get involved in the rebel military campaign to overthrow Bashar al-Assad’s regime, however much you may dislike it. No more moral crusades.

But Clinton, by declaring no-fly zones, would effectively be creating safe areas out of which rebels could operate. However, the great majority of the active anti-regime fighters belong to ISIS or to the equally extreme group that used to be called the Nusra Front and is now changing its name every week or so in an attempt to conceal its true origins as a breakaway part of Islamic State and an affiliate of al-Qaeda. Most of the smaller rebel groups Washington calls “moderates” are actually less extreme Islamists who are either voluntarily allied with the Nusra Front or in thrall to it. But the fantasy still lives in Washington that it can bring together enough genuine “moderates to create a third force that defeats both the Assad regime and the extremists of ISIS and the Nusra Front. This has been the official position of the Washington consensus on foreign policy for five years and Clinton is a paid-up member of that delusionary group. If Clinton carries through on her promises, she probably will trigger a crisis with the Russians — and she will certainly involve the United States much more deeply in the Syrian civil war. It’s almost enough to make you vote for Trump. But not quite. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose columns are published in 45 countries. gwynnedyer.com

op-prospect forward Tyler Benson and the resurgent Vancouver Giants will storm Sandman Centre tonight, looking to ruin the end of what’s been a successful homestand for the Kamloops Blazers. “I think Benson is the key guy,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “Since he’s come back, they’ve become more consistent and they’re finding ways to win, between him and [goaltender] Ryan Kubic.” Radovan Bondra leads the Giants (6-9) in scoring with 13 points after 13 games. Benson, who missed a few games at the start of the season with a shoulder injury, has 12 points in 10 games. Injuries sidelined Benson

working,” said Balcers, a 19-yearold Latvian import. “I hope the coach is not going to change our line. Sid is probably the fastest guy in the league and Pilon, when he puts speed and skill together, is unstoppable.” Sideroff leads Kamloops in goals with seven, while captain Collin Shirley is the Blazers’ leading scorer with 14 points. Blazers’ netminder Connor Ingram’s save percentage of .929 is second-best in the WHL. The Giants will host the rematch in Langley tomorrow night, capping a two-game set between teams jostling for position in the B.C. Division. “This weekend series is big for both teams,” said Hay, who spent 10 seasons coaching the Giants before returning to Kamloops for the 2014-2015 season. “Both teams want to stay in the hunt. If you have success in these games, you can separate yourself.”

chances of moving above .500. The Blazers’ defence corps struggled to move the puck upice quickly, especially in the third period, in a 2-1 loss to the Victoria Royals at Sandman Centre on Tuesday. “It’s definitely a problem we’re trying to diagnose every day, just moving the puck quickly, finding a player and getting the puck up-ice,” said Conner McDonald, the Blazers’ 17-year-old defenceman from Delta. “That’s our job as defencemen, getting the puck up to the forwards and keeping the puck out of our net.”

Kubic started the season hot — he was named CHL goaltender of the week for the period ending Oct. 16 — but his save percentage dropped below .900 after allowing five goals on 19 shots in a 5-4 loss to the Tri-City Americans in Langley on Sunday, the Giants’ most-recent game. Judging by practice on Tuesday, it’s clear the Blazers plan to create traffic in front of Vancouver’s 18-year-old backstop, should he get the start tonight. Hay ran his team through drills that asked forwards and defencemen to fight for position just outside the crease, while attackers tried to feed shots through the scrum. Among those aiming to rattle Kubic are Garrett Pilon, Rudolfs Balcers and Deven Sideroff, the recently formed line of NHL draft picks that is putting the league on notice. “We’ve been playing together two games and you can see it’s

HOLY COW! WESTSYDE FAN HOPING CUBBIES ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

he Chicago Cubs haven’t won the World Series in 108 years — their 1908 championship more than a lifetime ago. It was a year in which Orville and Wilbur Wright flew their first passenger plane, Hoover invented the first portable vacuum cleaner and the Model T rolled off Henry Ford’s production line. The population of Las Vegas was 30 — people, not thousand — and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire was just beginning. Major League Baseball had 16 teams, Cleveland was known as the Naps — short for Napoleons, a decidedly less offensive nickname than the city’s present-day counterpart — and Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb were the two best hitters

in baseball. Tim Jordan of the Brooklyn Superbas won the home run title, going yard 12 times. Gord Schmidt’s paternal grandfather was a nine-year-old in Russia and his maternal greatgrandparents were teenagers in England. It would be 64 more years until Schmidt would form his first memories of Cubs fandom, in 1972 as a 10-year-old wearing out the dice of his first Strat-O-Matic baseball game, always playing as Chicago. But to be clear, from Day 1, he has cheered for the Cubbies. “Something must have happened where I became a Cubs fan,” Schmidt said Tuesday, hours before Chicago began the World Series in Cleveland against the Indians. “I’ve always loved them.” Schmidt’s Westsyde home is a Cubs shrine of sorts — his base-

on over 500 items

ment living-room stuffed with memorabilia, everything from a Cubs rug to an Ernie Banks signed baseball lining every nook and cranny. But it’s not the souvenirs, the picture of Schmidt and his family at Wrigley Field, or even the Cubs drink dispenser or the Joe Maddon replica glasses that catch the eye when touring the household — it’s the paintings. On the walls of Schmidt’s Cubs cave are paintings, hundreds of them, combining to form a

picture of his love of America’s national pastime. There’s Banks and Willard Brown. There’s Babe Ruth wearing a crown. There’s a black cat walking past Ron Santo in the on-deck circle at Shea Stadium in Queens. That’s one of his personal favourites — the omen of bad luck crossed in front of the Cubs’ dugout and Chicago’s season imploded shortly thereafter. It’s one of the great stories in baseball. Schmidt has painted all of them, the collection his tribute to the greatest to ever play the game. It’s part Americana and part legend, a history of the game in black and white acrylic. It started with Banks. Then, it was an all-time Cubs team. Before long, Schmidt threw roughly 240 names into a Cubs lunchbox and vowed to paint every player ever inducted in Cooperstown.

“I just pulled my final 10 out and I’ve decided the last one I’m going to do is Fergie Jenkins because he’s a Cub I grew up watching a lot of as a kid,” he said. “He’ll be the last piece of the puzzle until next summer, when they induct a couple more guys in.” The former owner of Gord’s Maytag often paints as he listens to the Cubs on the radio. Each canvas replicates a famous picture of the player, taking roughly 10 hours of the 54-year-old’s time to complete. They now line the walls of his basement, an adjacent room and his garage. The ones that don’t fit on the walls fill a half-dozen boxes in storage. His wife, Cheryl, smiled at the collection. “I’m a Cubs wife,” she said. One painting stands out — one of the few colour murals in the

ARE PAINTING A WORLD SERIES VICTORY den. It’s Steve Bartman reaching out for a baseball in Game 6 of the Cubs’ 2003 National League Championship Series against the Florida Marlins, outfielder Moises Alou stretching his glove for the same ball. It’s a moment in Cubs lore — Bartman got a hand on the ball, the Cubs went on to lose the game and the series they had, at one point, led 3-1 and were just five outs from finishing. The World Series drought continued. Bartman became the goat, vilified for doing what any other fan would have done. For years he was terrorized, received death threats, needed police cars parked outside his home. Like many in Cubs nation, Schmidt hopes Bartman will be there to throw out the opening pitch at Wrigley for Game 3 tonight, however unlikely that may be.

“I would love it,” he said. “It’s despicable what happened to him. He just did what anyone would do.” Schmidt sat in Bartman’s chair in one of his three visits to Wrigley — he was there earlier this year. He has also visited Busch Stadium in St. Louis, AT&T Park in San Francisco, Safeco Field in Seattle, Miller Park in Milwaukee, Petco Park in San Diego and Coors Field in Denver. His 20th, 25th and 30th wedding anniversaries were all in baseball towns. A return trip to Chicago may be warranted if the Cubs win the World Series in 2016, but Boston’s Fenway Park is high on the list, too. He likes the Cubbies’ chances against Cleveland, believes the National League champs are deeper, stronger. Heading into Game 1, they had outscored American League opponents

94-39 this season. So, what’s it like to finally see Chicago three wins away from being World Series champion? “I’m a little nervous now because a few years ago, I said, ‘I just want to see them win once before I die.’ So now I’m going, ‘Wait a minute…’

“I’ll be cheering hard for them to win the World Series and then hoping I don’t die.” The dream is to eventually get his paintings in front of someone from the Cubs organization, though Schmidt said he’s not sure how realistic that goal is. He and Cheryl will take a trip when he’s nearing the last painting, figure out what to do with them. He’d like to display them, somehow — even he hasn’t seen them all together, with so many in boxes. “I’d like to get them in front of baseball fans,” he said. “How, where, when, I have no idea. But that’s kind of the goal.” A sign hangs above one of the doorways in Schmidt’s basement, it reads “Eamus Catuli! AC0871108”. It’s a replica of a similar sign in Chicago, which is on the wall of Lakeview Baseball Club, a rooftop bar perched above

the vines of Wrigley Field. Eamus Catuli is a Latin phrase, loosely translating to, “Let’s go, Cubs,” Catuli meaning whelps, as there’s no Latin word for cub. The AC means Anno Catuli, “In the year of the Cubs” and the numbers represent three different dates — 08 for the number of seasons since the Cubs won their division, 71 for the number of years since they last won the National League Pennant and 108 for the number of years since they were crowned World Series champions. Each year, Schmidt climbs up and repaints the sign. Already, he knows the first six columns will read AC0000. Now for the final three.

It’s the latest attempt to keep minor hockey players at home, rather than suiting up for academies and winter clubs. BC Hockey and the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association (OMAHA) have teamed up to put a regional spin on bantam tier 1 hockey this season, with a pilot project in the Thompson-Okanagan. “My understanding is that the hope is to maybe take it provincially, but that will sort of depend on how things go here,” said Kyle Allan, head coach of the the Kamloops Junior Blazers. For the purposes of league play in OMAHA this season, the Junior Blazers will be known as the Thompson Zone. “The main goal is to try to get kids to stay at home and be playing tier 1 hockey, sort of reverse the trend of kids going away to academies and things like that,” Allan said. The new initiative is more than just a name change. Prior to this season, players could move to Kamloops to play for the Junior Blazers if they didn’t have a rep team in their area. Now, kids from the Thompson Zone — which includes Lillooet, Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Kamloops, Clearwater, Merritt, Logan Lake and Chase — can play for Kamloops without moving to the city. Joining the Thompson Zone in OMAHA are the Central Zone and the North Zone. The Central Zone includes Kelowna and Winfield, while the North Zone encompasses Vernon, Salmon Arm, Enderby, Sicamous and Revelstoke. The hope is to add a fourth team to

the south, which would include West Kelowna, Oliver, Penticton and Osoyoos. The idea is that providing more local opportunities for players might help to counteract players leaving home for competition in leagues like the Canadian Sport School Hockey League, in which academy programs like those of the Pursuit of Excellence, the Okanagan Hockey Academy and the Notre Dame Hounds play. Allan said it’s hard to say if the new pilot program is working as it was implemented shortly before the start of the new season. Asked if he feels like it’s the right idea, he said the proof will be in the pudding. “I would like to hope so. It’s hard to say — everybody kind of has to be on board and be on the same page,” Allan said. “There’s lots of good talent here. It would be similar to the major midget league, that same kind of thing where we could create a little bit of a better competitive talent pool for teams to choose from at the tier 1 level and again hopefully that makes it a bit more competitive and brings more kids back to play. “I think it can work, but again, it’s all a matter of people buying in.”

Strong start

Early signs are showing the Junior Blazers might again be the team to beat in OMAHA. The club is undefeated in league action and recently finished ninth in the Chilliwack Bantam International Challenge Cup. The Junior Blazers are being led by a pair of 14-year-olds in Brendan Kirschner and Jarrod Semchuk, both of whom Allan said might get a look when the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft rolls around in May.

It’s hard to know exactly what to expect from the Thompson Rivers WolfPack as the men’s volleyball season gets underway tonight, given how much has changed since last season. The Wolves are under new leadership, with former WolfPack setter Mike Hawkins taking over the reins of the club from 10-year head coach Pat Hennelly, who will spend the 2016-2017 season on sabbatical. Tyler Pomietlarz will be in his first season of running the offence as the club’s full-time setter. Brad Gunter, the most decorated volleyball player in Thompson Rivers’ history, completed his U Sports eligibility last season. “It definitely compelled us to work harder,” Pomietlarz said this week of Gunter’s departure. “In all the morning workouts, every time we step on the court, every team we’re playing against in pre-season, we want to prove that we can still be a functional team without Brad. “Obviously, he was a huge impact on our team the last five years he was playing, but now everyone else has to step up and prove that we can still be a solid moving team.” Thompson Rivers finished 10-14 in 2015-2016, failing to qualify for the post-season. It was a result that Pomietlarz said has stuck with the club. Now younger, more inexperienced and coming off an off-season filled with change, it would be easy to expect a similar finish in 2016-2017. But there’s optimism amongst the Black and Orange. “If we can stick to things that are going to make our team successful, if we play to our style, I think playoffs is very much a legitimate shot,” Hawkins told KTW. “If we fight those things, if we let our inexperience get the better of us, we could end up at the bottom, which makes it [the season] exciting. “If this team was weak and we knew we weren’t going to have a shot, it probably wouldn’t be the most enjoyable year. But we’re very much going to be in the mix every single weekend.” Hawkins has brought a more systematic approach to the club — especially on defence — given its

relative inexperience. As for replacing the offence of Gunter, a player who was voted the best in the nation in 2013-2014, Hawkins said it will be by committee. Outside hitters Randy Grundmann and Daniel Eikeland Rød will be expected to take their games to the next level, as will a handful of the club’s younger players. “I think in certain situations, it was both good and bad to have Brad,” Hawkins said. “It was good to have him in situations where you know you needed a kill, because he was just a very offensive force. But I think, at times, you can rely on the one guy a little too much. “We have a very skilled team and we have a very balanced team. I think this year, we don’t necessarily need one or two guys to step up and all of a sudden make up 20-someodd kills. I think we’re just going to be a lot more balanced offensively.” Thompson Rivers will play host to the Alberta Golden Bears tonight and tomorrow at the Tournament Capital Centre. Game times are 7:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m., respectively. It’s a baptism by fire situation — the Bears are a perennial U Sports powerhouse and were voted No. 1 in the Canada West by the conference’s coaches earlier this week. The WolfPack, meanwhile, were 10th. “I think our team has a bit of a chip on our shoulders. A lot of young guys on the team and we have a lot to prove, I think,” Pomietlarz said. “We’re ready to play against Uof A. They have always been on of the best teams in the conference, if not U Sports, so we’re happy to prove ourselves on the court and see what we can do.”

ROBBERY SUSPECT On Tuesday, October 25th at approximately 6:30 am a lone male had entered the Mac’s convenient store on the 100 block of Tranquille Road. This suspect went right to the store employee who was behind the front counter, pulled out a knife and demanded cash and cigarettes. The cigarettes and a small amount of cash was turned over, good crime prevention techniques prevented any further cash to be taken. The suspect then drove off in a black Kia Sedan that had been stolen overnight. The

stolen vehicle has now been recovered on October 26th on Greenstone Ave. A security camera has captured a photo of this suspect, he is described as Caucasian, early 30’s, brown hair with a brown beard without a mustache, 5’10”, at the time he was wearing a green shirt with white stripes, black ball cap and a camo bandana. If you know this person, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of this suspect.

SUSPICIOUS MALE AT THE BANK The police need your help in identifying this male and finding out why he left the bank in this suspicious manner. On Tuesday, October 4th at approximately 2:45 pm this male entered a bank and wanted to take money out of his account. The bank teller asked the male to produce some identification, which he did. The bank teller asked some other personal questions that should have been easy to answer. The male became very nervous and said he would have to go back to his car to get a second piece of identification. The

male did not return and had no further contact with the banking staff. It is a possibility that this is some type of fraud and the bank teller felt something was not right when they began to ask the standard questions. The male is described as Caucasian, mid 20’s, short brown hair and had a thin beard. If you know this person, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and will never have to go to court.

Indians’ Tomlin toIndian pitch in Series with pitch in ailing dad in stands ailing d TOM WITHERS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — While his dad sat on a bucket in their backyard catching, little Josh Tomlin pretended he was pitching in the World Series. He’s about to do it for real. And his dad, Jerry, recently paralyzed from the chest down following a medical scare that threatened his life, will be there in Chicago watching. “It will mean everything,’’ said Tomlin, who will start Game 3 tonight at Wrigley Field. “We’ve talked about this, shoot, since I was 3 or 4 years old. I can remember having conversations with him — ‘Bases loaded, full count, bottom of the ninth, so and so is up to bat. What are you going to throw him?’’’ “Let’s go fastball,’’ Tomlin said, “and I’d throw a fastball and on strike three we’d jump up and throw our gloves and stuff like that. It was cool to be able to look back and think, man, I was doing that when I was 4 years old and now I’m actually going to live it and he’s actually going to get to see it. “That’s pretty special to me and something I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.’’ Jerry Tomlin is Texas tough, the kind of rugged guy who never missed a day of work and lives life head on — sometimes going too hard. “He played football in high school and he always told me he was the guy on the kickoff who would go down there and break up the wedge. He was just crazy,’’ said Tomlin, who helped rescue Cleveland’s bandaged rotation with strong performances in the AL Division Series against Boston and AL Championship Series versus Toronto. “He’s been working since he was probably 12 or 13 years old until this incident happened.’’ In August, Jerry was working at a power plant in Whitehouse, Texas, when he fell ill, his stomach tied in knots. With the pain worsening, he was taken to a hospital where doctors initially

thought the problem was being caused by his gall bladder. That’s when things took a critical turn as Tomlin’s body went numb. He underwent an MRI and numerous tests, and the 57-year-old was rushed into surgery after he was diagnosed with arteriovenous malfunction, a condition that affects blood circulation near the spine. Josh Tomlin, already in the midst of one of the worst months of his career, rushed home after the Indians arranged a private jet so he could get there quickly to see his dad and be there for his mom, Elana. The pitcher made the trip fearing his dad might not survive. The procedure saved Jerry’s life, but it has left him in a wheelchair with a long, difficult road to recovery ahead. It’s not known if he’ll walk again. After spending nearly two months in a rehab facility in Dallas, he was released last week — on Josh’s 32nd birthday. Jerry watched from his living room as the Indians clinched their first AL pennant since 2007. The Tomlins are incredibly close, their bond strengthened by their love of baseball.

FAITH

Making the most and best out of marriage

confess I am a people’s person and, therefore, a people watcher. In particular, I like to watch young couples (very often with kids in tow) walking in parks or malls, holding each other’s or the kids’ hands. Curiosity leads me to wonder if the couples are married. Of course, one of the routine ways to discern is the presence or absence of the wedding band on the couples’ fingers. However, with the changes in societal norms, it is not always easy to come to such conclusions. For one thing, many married couples have done away with wearing of rings for various reasons. Many do not purpose to remain in monogamous relationships. Others would perhaps not subscribe to any external symbol of subjugation. But what about the spiritual-minded deepseated desire of staying

NARYAN MITRA

FAITH

true to each other “until death do us part?” One of the most misunderstood areas in the life of a young believer in the Lord is the issue of marriage. It is not surprising that Satan hates Christian marriages centred in the will of God and tries hard to prevent a believer from marrying according to God’s good and perfect will. He tries so hard that he would not give up until he can at least tempt a person of faith into settling for

the second-best. It is through a godly marriage that the heavenly Father can effectively further His Kingdom on earth. The Bible talks about the qualifications of a leader with respect to a man or woman’s marital relationship. Here are some questions and answers that should clarify the misunderstanding regarding the second-most (next to one’s salvation) important of life’s decisions: • What is marriage? It is an unique relationship that calls for a level of maturity and intimacy leading to the union of a man and a woman to be one flesh (Genesis 2:23,24). It’s a relationship so holy that God compares it with His relationship to the Church (Revelation 19:7). The Old Testament gives many references to God’s relationship with His chosen people as His bride. In fact, marriage forms the most pivotal

part of God’s creation story. Jesus’ ministry started with the miracle at a wedding party in Cana (John 2:1-11). He also used the illustration of marriage in many of his parables (Matt. 22:1-14; 25:1-13). • Why do people get married? Because it is not good for a man to be alone (Gen. 2:23,24). To receive favour from the Lord (Prov. 18:22). It is in accordance with God’s sovereign will (1 Cor. 7:35,36). To enjoy the rewards of marriage in the form of children (Psalm 128). To understand the intimacy in human relationship that God desires from us. • How does a believer find the right person to marry? A person who is born again has the Holy Spirit living in him. The Spirit leads and guides him in this extremely important choice.

However, the inner man — the heart — is often in conflict with the guidance the Spirit provides. It is, therefore, important for every believer to allow the Holy Spirit to rule the decision about his or her prospective marriage partner. Marriage is intended for a lifetime and our decision will be binding on us for years to come. Marriage is not a habit we can break loose from by just deciding in a moment of indecision. It is a very responsible relationship that calls for unconditional commitment. God has revealed His will on marriage in very clear and simple terms: Do not be unequally yoked. He questions equating darkness with light. A believer cannot seek God’s blessing upon his marriage if he wants to marry a person who still has not accepted the lordship of Christ. In non-mechanized

farming societies, whenever a farmer buys oxen for tilling land, he checks first whether the pair can be equally yoked. First, the farmer looks for the oxen, then he looks for feasibility of yoking them equally. Only when the pair is matched does he buy them. To draw a comparison, believers marrying unbelievers are like the farmer yoking an ox and a horse together. It sounds stupid, but that’s what it is. Many try to work on conjugal relationships in a reverse manner. They get involved in relationships that are not in accord with the basic will of God, then plead with Him for the salvation of their partners. God wants our relationships with Him to be in right order first before He would answer our prayers. But how do we avoid casualties in seeking life partners?

The first thing is to commit our decision to the Lord. The Bible tells us to guard our hearts for it is the well-spring of life. Also, as the heart is most deceitful of all our faculties, it is important to seek confirmation from parents and mature Christians. Our heart can falter as it can be influenced by things that we allow our mind to be fed with. The secular world talks about two people marrying after they have “fallen in love.” God’s view in this regard is quite opposite. He wants us to grow in love. We fall in love because of our emotional needs, but we grow in love because of God’s leading. A Christian marriage, centred in God’s perfect will, would be a source of inspiration and support in times of trouble and difficulties that, without fail, would hit the couples eventually. ryanmitra225@ gmail.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Don’t tailor scripture to be inoffensive in current times Editor: I would like to respectfully respond to the Oct. 14 Faith column by Christine Dolson (‘This kind of Christian knows love is love is love’), a well-written article regarding acceptance of the LGBTQ2 community in the United Church. My issue is not with Dolson’s discussion on inclusion of the LGBTQ2 in the church, but of her insistence that the Bible, the lifeblood of our Christian faith, doesn’t mean what it says. She is implying our King and Lord of the universe can’t use his Holy Spirit to make sure his people receive the message he originally intended. It seems Dolson has done a little cherry-picking of her own. In her column, she brings up Sodom and Gomorrah and that its real sin was about “insult to the traveller and inhospitality to the needy.” But in Jude, verse 7, it clearly states there were other reasons it was destroyed. There are many rules, traditions and laws that did not continue into the New Testament (thank goodness!), but Jesus (“you know,

“

”

the guy who put Christ in Christian”) does speak of committed relationships and he consistently specifies they are between a man and a woman. As someone who has struggled with so much of what scripture says, I have found that, from cover to cover, that is consistent and in black and white. That’s a hard truth, but I think it’s dangerous, as Christians (or as anyone else), to question scripture and try to tailor it to be inoffensive to our current culture. To do that is to question the authority of God our King. If we are comfortable doing that, then everything in the Holy Bible is up for debate. There are several things Dolson and I absolutely agree on, including that Jesus’s mes-

sage was consistently about unconditional love. Additionally, not having the authority to judge one another: “Don’t speak evil against each other, dear brothers and sisters. “If you criticize and judge each other, then you are criticizing and judging God’s law. “But your job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to you. “God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. “He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbour?” (James 4, 11-12). Therefore, I also believe it is so important the church welcome any and all who want to know Jesus. Actually, I’m looking at the United Church’s new banner in the newspaper now and I can’t help but notice it appears extremely inclusive to only one group. I’m sure Dolson would agree we all need our Saviour. Lindsay Pastoor Kamloops

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory of Eugenio Caputo February 2, 1934 - October 28, 2006

A precious one has gone A voice I loved is stilled A place is vacant in my home Which never can be filled. I miss the sunshine on his face and his loving care. My home is dark without him I miss him everywhere. They say time heals all sorrows And helps us forget, But time so far has only proved How much we miss you yet. So we think of you in silence, No eyes can see us weep, As many silent tears are shed When others are asleep.

Always in our heart Your wife Rosina, Sons Paolo (Shari), and Franco Grandchildren Divree, Marina, Giovanna and Eugenio Caputo

Sharif ‘Omar’ Jarkasy I am profoundly sad to announce that my Omar passed away at R.I.H. on October 22, 2016. He was born in Georgia, Russia on December 15, 1928. His family left Russia when he was just a child and they lived in Europe before settling in Israel. He became a soldier in the Israeli Army and learned his trade there as a Heavy Duty Mechanic.He lived and worked all over the world using his trade. He loved what he did and was very accomplished at it. Because of his life experiences he spoke several languages, but he always said English was the hardest. He came to Canada on vacation in the 60’s and thought it was the best place in the world he had ever been. He became a Canadian Citizen as soon as he could and was always proud to belong here. His happiest times in life besides fixing things were the times he spent fishing and hunting with his many good friends. He loved to make wine and share it with his friends. No day was complete without a glass of Merlot in his opinion. It was even better when he could have it in Maui where we had the best vacations ever. He is predeceased by his parents, brothers and sisters. He is survived by the love of his life his wife Teresa who he met on a blind date 34 years ago. They eloped and got married in Maui in 1994 and have been there for each other ever since. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews in various parts of the world. There will be a Celebration of Life for this beautiful, sweet, kind man at Kamloops Funeral Home on Wednesday, November 2nd at 1:00 pm with the Reverend Father Paul Simms officiating.

Dusty Wiwchar

October 14, 1925 - October 23, 2015

Dusty, born Modest Borislaw to a big Ukrainian family in Melville, SK left this world one year ago at the age of 90 in his home in North Vancouver. Through others’ remarks and condolences, Dusty’s story is told. He was larger than life with a sharp wit and mind boggling knowledge of history, politics and world affairs. He was a prolific and clever writer, something that he discovered in his 80’s and his commentaries and rants ranged from food, wine and beer to religion and the English language. He loved to travel and had a lifelong passion for learning other languages. He also loved to swim and passed this onto his daughters. He appreciated cars and when he could afford and justify the expense, he enjoyed many different ones, but not any one as much as his dark blue convertible sports car. Dusty’s professional life was full and exciting. Up until his passing, he ran a business at home born from his years as a real estate developer and realtor. He graduated as a geological engineer from the University of Alberta and with grit, determination and a taste for adventure he worked in the N.W.T., Quebec, Ontario and BC. When the mining industry collapsed in the 1970’s, he left it behind because he needed to support his wife and family and imagine new dreams. He was not always an easy man, but his priorities made him take risks instead of accepting the status quo. Dusty is gone, but memories of him will last for a long time. There was no service at his request, but we will remember him driving his car with the top down and dancing again with his wife Frances (nee Rusk) who predeceased him on November 13, 1985.

Bruce Steven Kaiser September 23, 1951 - October 19, 2016

Bruce joined his parents and many other loved ones in Heaven this week. Bruce was born in Kamloops, BC and lived in Kelowna for his younger years. His family moved to Kamloops and then to Barriere for forty some years, where he raised his family. We moved Kamloops and have lived here

back to ever since. Over the years, Bruce worked in Barriere’s local lumber mills; owned and operated Kaiser’s Siding & Soffit, was a Faller (his favorite job) and a Transport Truck Driver for Arrow Transportation for many years. Bruce enjoyed dirt biking, hunting and fishing and LOVED to tell stories around these. Bruce deeply treasured his close friends. Computers, TV and reading were also Bruce’s favorite pastimes. Bruce leaves behind wife Donna, daughter Ali and children, daughter Crystal, sisters Barb and Karen and family and numerous relatives. In Bruce’s memory, the family extends a warm welcome to join us in a Celebration of Life on Saturday, October 29, 2016 at 1:00 pm at Pentecostal Christian Life Assembly, Annesty Rd., Barriere (across from the Secondary School) a luncheon will be served.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Dr. Allen Russell Ciastko

Don Davidson

February 23, 1943 – October 18, 2016

Allen, a pediatrician, photographer, adventurer and master of dollar store disguises left us on October 18th, 2016. He was cherished by his wife Val, son Martin, stepdaughters, Jennifer (Dave) and Megan (Danny) and simply adored by four grandchildren Milo, Iggy, Aslan and Tavis. He will be deeply missed by sisters Carol and Lisa (Smiley), brother Norman and nieces Hayley and Lindsay. He was a doctor who built a slide on the end of his examining table, transforming his medical office into a playground for his small patients. With wonder and imagination, he used a camera lens to capture landscape and humanity in all its forms. A connoisseur of corny jokes, he was undeterred by lukewarm responses. Through his ego-less, perfect spirit, he captured and held dear the hearts of all who met him. Receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson’s in 2007, our food-loving paddler, hiker and swing dancer soothed us: “I have to die from something!” A stroke in Mexico, a place he and Val loved dearly, diminished his body but not his soul. His compassionate generosity and his magnificent, elfish grin endured. Allen’s family, many friends and fans treasure his memory and will gather to celebrate the stories of his wonderful life on November 5, 2016 at St. Andrews on the Square, 159 Seymour Street, Kamloops at 1:30 pm.

GRINDER,

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Don Davidson on Friday, October 21st, 2016 surrounded by friends and family at the age of 63.

A prince of a man has passed

A true rags to riches story, Don was raised as a child laborer at a crowded foster home until he was rescued at age 11 and taken to The Everdale Place, Canada’s first free school in Hillsburgh, Ontario. There he flourished and became known as a creative, honest, dedicated businessman. These traits became the hallmark of Don’s entire career. Don thrived in the forestry industry, first as a logging contractor, working all over Canada, then transitioning into heavy equipment sales. His colleagues, employees and managers would remark at Don’s capacity to work long, hard hours cheerfully and always with his trademark ear-to-ear smile. His love and knowledge of the outdoors led Don to be an accomplished fly fisherman and his passion for it inspired many to take up the sport themselves. Don was even known to purchase a first fly rod for those who expressed interest in ‘wetting a line.’ As recent health challenges began to mount, Don faced many painful operations, procedures and chemotherapy sessions with strength, positivity and dignity. Don’s healthcare providers were surprised and pleased by his strength and good humour. They noted that it prolonged his life long past their expectations. Don is survived by his wife of 40 years Linda, his sons Matt and Steve (wife Chelsey) and his three grandchildren - Kylee-Mae, Damien and Ryker. A Celebration of Don’s Life will be held at The Kamloops United Church on Tuesday, November 1st, 2016 at 1:00 pm. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice.

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.

Alexander Savovich

November 11, 1960 - October 19, 2016 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Alexander Savovich at the age of 55. Alexander was born in Kamloops, BC in 1960. He is predeceased by his mother and father Angelina and Djuro Savovich. He is survived by his three sisters Olga Savovich, Jelena (Craig) Beeson, Anka (John) Meyers and his nieces and nephews Angela (Ryan) Dale-Johnson, Matthew Beeson, Crystal Meyers and Julie Meyers. We are so proud of the work Alex did for 20 years as a Certified Driller, Blaster and First Aid Attendant. He worked for R.F.Welch, Cougar Rock (Joe Postarero) and Chimera Springs Rock Works (Mike Hall) helping to keep roads, highways and railroad tracks safe for travellers in BC. His first job in Kamloops at the age of 16 was working for Frank Swiatkewich’s Postal Delivery Service. After retiring from Rock Scaling, he worked at the C Restaurant, the Plaza Hotel and more recently for The Kamloops Daily News. Five years ago, he started up his own small business called North Okanagan Powerwashing Service. Alex suffered from chronic pain and developed a respiratory disease called Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder. This made it very difficult for him to breath. Despite his illness he worked hard and was a devoted and loving friend, brother, son and nephew. He was an amazing chef often delighting us with his culinary expertise being able to serve up dishes from ethnic cuisine around the world - insisting on the best and freshest ingredients for his dishes. Alex was also a talented gardener, carpenter, plumber, brick layer and all around handyman; a generous, warm, kind, sincere brother, son and friend. He liked to read, to watch movies and to learn. He was a true lifelong learner. He especially loved his dog Loki-Alexis and together they would enjoy daily nature walks.

“God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes I watched you and saw you pass away although I love you dearly I could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to me He only takes the Best.” Alex is the best brother that a sister could ask for and he cared deeply for his sisters and their families. We shall miss him more than words can express. He will be with us in our minds and hearts forever. A Prayer Service will be held on Thursday, November 3, 2016 at 7:00 pm in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of All Saints, 1044 8th St, Kamloops, BC. The Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, November 4, 2016 at 10:00 am in the Church. Reverend Father Roman Trynoha and Very Reverend Miroslav Dejanov, Father Timoleon Prattas Co-Celebrants. Condolences may be sent to the family from 250-554-2577 www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

David Morley Sr. “Mo” Aboussafy April 6, 1940 – October 25, 2016

Mo Aboussafy passed away in peace, comfort and dignity, surrounded by love at Ridgeview Lodge, Kamloops on the morning of October 25, 2016. Mo was born to Myrtle and Elie Aboussafy in Eckville, Alberta on April 6, 1940. He had a full and happy childhood in Wetaskiwin, Alberta which included fostering an interest in commerce by working in the Aboussafy General Store from an early age, standing on a crate to reach the till. In High School, Mo was part of the undefeated central Alberta champion football team that was later inducted into the Wetaskiwin Sports Hall of Fame. Mo completed his secondary schooling early, sailed to Hawaii as a Sea Cadet, and started at the University of Alberta at age 17. He earned a Bachelor of Commerce at the U of A three years later in 1960. This was followed by earning his Chartered Accountant designation in 1963. Mo began his professional accounting career with Coopers and Lybrand. Mo then spent 19 years with the Genstar Corporation in Edmonton, San Francisco and Vancouver. Mo finished his working career with 18 years as Controller for Weyerhaeuser Canada in Kamloops, B.C. In his work and life, Mo was a man of great integrity with a deep commitment to his values, and was never too busy to help a friend or an associate. He contributed to his church and community with considerable volunteer work for organizations including Junior Achievement, the Terry Fox Foundation, and the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation. Mo was an avid Edmonton Eskimo fan since the 1950’s. Mo met the love of his life and best friend

This included laughing with his granddaughters two weeks before his death, despite profound congestive heart failure, and vascular dementia. Special thanks to family physician Dr. F. Kruger, cardiologist Dr. J. Steyn, and the staff at Ridgeview Lodge for outstanding care and compassion. Very special thanks to dear friends Jim and Bev Mundle for always being there for Mo.

Bif’s truth KTW caught up with Beth Torbert, a.k.a. Bif Naked, before a show in Kamloops DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Currently on an acoustic tour, Bif Naked is due to release a new rock album next year.

hen Beth Torbert takes the stage at The Blue Grotto next month, expect to see a glow of peace and happiness on her face. Yes, her rock persona Bif Naked will be holding the mic, likely rocking out Spaceman or Spaceman, but behind that persona is a woman who, just days before her Kamloops show, will head home from her European honeymoon with husband — and guitarist in her band — Steve Allen. It will be a woman who is known as much for her candour, her cancer and her outspoken advocacy on humanitarian issues as she is for her Hindi tattoos and music. Reached during her honeymoon, Torbert pointed to two people when asked what influences made her the person she is today — her mother and father. Born in New Delhi, India, she was adopted by American missionaries Kenneth Torbert and Jeanette Gibson. “My parents made me the person I am,” Torbert said, “or, more accurately, their influence and example. “My two sisters and I were raised in a pretty ‘square’ home. We were church-goers as my parents sang in their church choirs — although I never sang in church, yuk! — and there was no alcohol in the home I grew up in, which meant that once my sisters and I were teenagers and sneaking beers with our friends under the bleachers at the local hockey games, etc. We caught hell and were grounded a lot.” Even when embarking on her musical career, she said, it was important she emulate her parents’ “nonconfrontational pragmatic ways,” something her band did by practising meditation and supporting Greenpeace. Their influence continued through her life, Torbert said.

“After I decided to give up my beers and such and follow the straight-edge philosophy of abstaining from alcohol and drugs as a young person, the biggest influence for me was their habit of promoting PMA, positive mental attitude — and being an optimist just plain feels good.” Torbert finds reasons to be optimistic in even the smallest daily realities, something as simple as having a shower. “Think about how lucky you are to even have any water and really understand that privilege,” she said. “After your shower, go eat a banana. Really know with every bite that there are kids, right this minute, in your own town whom do not get breakfast at all. Or lunch. Be grateful and know how lucky you are. That is gratitude. “You will be optimistic because you ‘get it’ and what I mean is, you get how lucky you are almost every part of your day. Even the fact that we have Internet is a blessing. It’s impossible not to be optimistic.” Her attitude does not mean Torbert has not experienced challenges, hurt and pain in her life. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent the many treatments required to leave her, as of 2009, cancer-free. Her song Everyday was inspired by her diagnosis of a heart aneurysm that could not at the time be corrected. She eventually had open-heart surgery. In 2012, she had kidney failure. She’s been married and divorced twice. And, she’s experienced the slings of stereotyping. “My experiences with misogyny are exactly like any other lady. We grow up in a culture that celebrates, quite frankly, ‘tits and ass.’ It’s hard not to be aware of everything from Vogue magazine to the ‘hot’ girls in school, growing up. This is the covert misogyny that seeps into our psyche as young girls and writes our self-esteem story ahead of us.” For Torbert, her journey has

gone from being “extremely hot-headed about sexism and my feministic wishes” to now being “very practical” and calling people out “if I feel they are treating me unfairly, especially due to my gender. “I no longer experience being grabbed or groped, as I believe people fear my physical retaliation — haha, probably wishful thinking?” Music remains key to her life, Torbert said. “It always matters to me. “I am a huge, huge music fan and listen to music constantly. I love Middle Eastern and Indian music, death metal, pop songs, everything! My husband loves KISS, Scorpions, Avenged Sevenfold, etc. “There is always music playing in our home. As far as making music goes, we have a dance record that has been sitting for a year and are currently in the throws of a new rock record, due for release in 2017. “I love writing and recording, but love performing even more.” She and Allen are heading back out with her Songs and Stories acoustic tour after the honeymoon. Those evenings will be all-things-Bif: stories from her book I, Bificus and songs linked to the tales in some way. It’s a deeply personal book, Torbert said, a difficult project that was hard for her emotionally. “It’s like confessing, and that was very hard. But, it’s all I have ever done, I guess. I don’t even know how not to write painful truths down. On my first record, the very first single ever was a song called Tell on You and it was a sad song about my personal experience with an unreported sexual assault.” It will be revelatory, deeply personal, engaging and uplifting, filled with the optimism she takes with her every day. “As a girl who has been in every situation imaginable, I can speak to this with great honesty. If I was a dishwasher, or a nurse, or a stayat-home mom, or a rock singer, I would still be the same girl with the same concerns and interests. That’s my truth.”

‘They’re all a little different’ ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

here’s a process when Michelle Finlayson picks out a handmade mug. First, she’ll pick each one up, testing its weight and the feeling of her fingers on the handle. “Once you feel a certain handle and weight, you know it feels good,” she said. Finlayson, a member of the Thompson Valley Potters guild, said because of variations in handmade pottery, even mugs that look alike will have variations in how they sit in the hand. The key is to find the mug that feels just right for each person. In addition to a mix of bowls, kitchen wares and other usable pieces, Finlayson specializes in mugs with larger-than-average handles. The extra room is good for men with larger hands, she explains, but also appeals to tea drinkers. “Lots of tea drinkers like to put their hands on the mug instead of just holding onto the handles so they can feel the heat,” she said. Beyond weight, there are also colour variations. Finlayson’s preferred shade of blue can run from a light, oceanic green to inky navy with hints of gold, while the amber colour she favours can be dark and rich or almost glittery in the right light.

“Even if you come to try to buy four mugs they’ll never be exactly the same,” she said. “They’re all a little different.” Those variations and uniquenesses are one of the reasons she thinks handmade wares, like those she and other members of the potters’ guild will sell at their annual sale on Nov. 5, are once again gaining popularity. There’s also the personal touch that comes with meeting the person who made your object. “One lady came to me one time and she said something to me that made me think, ‘Oh, I really want to do this.’ She said ‘I get up every morning and I look at your mug as I take my coffee and I think of you,’” Finlayson said. “And that’s pretty cool, somebody you don’t even know has this thing you made and they use it every single day and it’s something they love and they think of you.” The sale is the group’s largest of the year, and features a mix of other handmade crafts. This year’s event will run at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour St., from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

‘Printmaking is a very social art medium because you need a lot of equipment’ ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

ost of the time Linda Jules’ works in three dimensions, turning prints she makes at the Kamloops Printmakers workshop on McMaster Way into baskets and other sculptures. This October, the Kamloops artist is going two-dimensional, as she and her studio colleagues channel printmaking’s past for a show at Arnica, 7 West Seymour St. Inspired by a recently acquired letterpress from the turn of the last century, Jules and five other artists will show pieces based on the propaganda and revolutionary posters of the early 20th century — with a modern twist. “We still have struggles,” Jules said. “Intolerance, human and animal rights, environmental protection, and those are some of the things our works highlight. We’re using very old technology to express some of these ideas.” Jules’ pieces feature a smiling young First Nations woman decked out in the safety gear used at mines and other heavy industrial sites. “It juxtaposes several things we’re not used to,” Jules said. “First, women work-

ing in heavy industries, and the way First Nations have been taking ownership of resources on the traditional territories of indigenous peoples. It’s a very revolutionary concept in Kamloops.” Other artists looked to revolutionary

aspects of their personal lives. Darlene Kalynka printed a massive scythe as a nod to both Russian revolution iconography and her family’s own agricultural history; Kelly Perry focused on Kamloops’ environment, and Elizabeth Sigalet, who is

an engineer as well as an artist, focuses on early women pioneers in her field. Like revolutionary leaflets of the past, the artists favoured bold, simple colours — red or black were particularly popular — to produce eye-catching images. Kamloops Printmakers was formed in 2007 and has 10 members. Jules said all members are practising artists, who usually exhibit individually save for a group exhibition about once a year. “Printmaking is a very social art medium because you need a lot of equipment. You need presses, you need large wash out stations, you need fans if you’re using solvents and that kind of thing,” she said. “It’s a bit of an outlay of resources to have a print shop, so that’s why most printmakers work collaboratively and have a studio they share.” Members of the public will get a rare opportunity to spend time in the studio on Nov. 27, when the Printmakers will host a workshop featuring demos of the letterpress machine and an opportunity to print a revolutionary slogan of their own. More details about the event will be available from Arnica at a closer date. October Revolutions opens today with an reception from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

arts&entertainment Detailed to the last dot O nce in a while, I meet a beautiful artist who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Such is the case with Shelagh Quinn Uptigrove. This visual artist beautifully balances her busy home life as a mother and wife with work and creativity. Many young mothers give up their artistic passion while busy raising their families. Not this artist. Quinn-Uptigrove spends hundreds of hours, probably while we are sleeping, working on one-of-a-kind drawings and paintings. She uses a technique called pointillism that builds a drawing up with thousands of hand drawn individual dots. Her artwork is detailed right down to the tiniest part creating an overall effect of harmony and aesthetic balance. The following is an interview with the local artist. Karla Pearce: What is your background and artistic medium? Shelagh QuinnUptigrove: I’ve been into the arts since I was old enough to hold a pen. Mixed media (drawing, painting, design, sewing, fashion, glass work and writing). KP: When did you know you were going to become an artist? Shelagh QuinnUptigrove: I don’t really have an age or specific

event, but I guess I’ve always known art was my calling and passion. It’s what makes me happy. KP: What was it that lead you to and kept you on your creative path? SQU: The amazing love and support from my family and encouragement they give me. KP: Describe your creative process. SQU: I wake up from dreaming and think “that would be an awesome idea!” Haha, I daydream a lot. KP: What motivates you to create? SQU: Beauty, nature, imagination — to make my family proud and to see my art appreciated. KP: What or who inspires you most? SQU: My grandma. She was an amazing painter and taught me a lot and always found ways to inspire me. KP: What is the most difficult thing about creating? SQU: No matter what medium I do, it is very detailed and takes a lot of time and

patience to do. KP: What is the best thing about creating/ doing your work? SQU: Seeing the finished piece and feeling a sense of pride and joy. KP: What was the worst/best moment in your career as an artist? SQU: The worst was spending six months drawing a poster-sized dragon piece, only to have the pen burst open and spray ink all over the drawing. It was heart-wrenching to see my time and effort destroyed in a split second. The best is seeing the look on people’s faces when they fall in love with my art. It makes me feel good about what I do when someone appreciates my style. KP: What are you working on now? SQU: I’m trying a new art medium with Polymer Clay — it looks like fun. Also, I’m doing a cityscape in my drawing style, one of my most detailed drawings yet. I like to challenge myself and see how far I can push my limits.

you’re driving. This has been a year of great accomplishments and good conversations about the North Shore. Overlanders Day continues to grow and attract more and more people to see what our community is really about. The weather was great that August day and McDonald Park was filled with happy families and friends.

AND! M E D R A L U NOW!) CK BY POP

This year, Overlanders Day was followed by the Tragically Hip’s tour finale. It was an emotional end to an exciting day of celebrating where we live. As the holidays come quickly and happily, let’s hold onto our spirit of community, whether it’s participating in community events or helping a neighbour. Let’s show our

strengths — and we do such a great job of that. Thank you for being part of the community and attending our events, such as Movie Night with Cain’s Independent Grocer, Overlanders Day and the aforementioned Overlanders Day/ Tragically Hip concert. And, if you’ll be participating in Treat Street 2016, thank you.

MOROCCO’S MEDINAS, MINARETS AND MYSTERY MARGARET DEEFHOLTS

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

orocco conjures up images of medinas, minarets — and mystery. It is a land of exotic perfumes, plaintive music, intrigue and romance à la Bogart and Bergman. Casablanca, the first place on my itinerary, isn’t any of the above. It is a large commercial metropolis, bland as any other international hub. Traffic flows along broad boulevards and sidewalks are busy with business-suited executives, camera-toting tourists and women in flowing caftans. Nothing special. Ah, but hang on. I walk into the King Hussein II mosque and my impressions shift. A blend of Moorish and traditional Moroccan architecture, the mosque boasts extravagantly painted wood ceilings, intricately tiled mosaic walls and flamboyant chandeliers — the result of seven years’ hard work by 10,000 artists, craftsmen and builders. The tour takes an hour and I emerge onto a broad terrace, dazzled by more than just the strong sunlight and the view across an intensely blue Atlantic Ocean. My companions — an all-women group — are mostly from the

United States and are new acquaintances to me and to one another. We drive out of Casablanca and make a brief stop in Rabat, where a couple of horse guards stand at the entrance to the Mohammed V mausoleum, the resting place of two Alouite kings. Then, on to the delightful Kasbah des Oudaias. It is mid-day and the ramparts of the Kasbah rear against a blazing blue sky; the sun is violent and hard, throwing sharp-edged shadows against the stone steps. Inside, we thread our way through narrow lanes, flanked by blue walls, and I pause to photograph doors framed by bougainvillea creepers and tropical ferns. Cats doze under awnings and a bike rests casually near an open doorway. A small girl at a window smiles tentatively at me as I walk by. The lanes open up to a terrace, its ramparts overlooking an expanse of ocean with the buildings of Rabat, like stacks of children’s blocks, in the distance. Our days are as varied as the surroundings through which we drive: the high Atlas mountains, where the road snakes and curls along barren rocky cliffs, their edges falling away vertiginously into deep canyons, or the Sahara at dawn, with dunes striped in waves of light and shadow and loping camels silhouetted against the

One afternoon, we make a short halt at the Todra Gorge. The enormous walls of the canyon shadow a little stream and, at the far end of the cleft, the rock face is bathed in golden sunlight. Two tribeswomen pose for my camera in exchange for a handful of dirhams. No experience would be complete without sampling cuisine: succulent spiced lamb or beef garnished with olives and almonds often washed down with mint tea. A cooking class is on the itinerary, but first a shopping trip for fresh vegetables and spices. It takes us into the souk in Fes, a mazelike market of cobblestoned aisles where shoppers and vendors haggle at top decibel. Decapitated goats’ heads are on display and roosters perch on baskets. We huddle to the side as men pushing carts of who-knowswhat under burlap wraps bawl a warning. The scent of oranges mingles with the smell of fish. Later, armed with the spoils of our expedition, we chop, peel, mix, stir and savour the result of our labours or, more truthfully, the

creation of our chefteacher. Chicken in a thick spiced gravy served on a traditional clay terrine sits in the centre of the table. Using our fingers, we break off tender chunks of meat with pieces of flat bread. Later, we are hosted to an overnight stay by a Berber family. The accommodation is Spartan, but the welcome is warm. We take part in the everyday tasks of the household: making bread, cooking a meal and watching the procedure involved in properly brewing mint tea. When I return home, a pastiche of memories flicker by like a slideshow in the mind’s eye: old walled medinas with their secretive and mysterious alleyways; the haunting call to prayer from tall minarets; the vitality of the huge Jemaa el Fnaa square in Marrakech, with snake handlers, drummers, acrobats and jugglers playing to the crowds; the clop of magnificent horses drawing carriages filled with tourists and, at nightfall, the smoky smell of kebabs on the grill, and small arrows of fireworks zipping into the night sky.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

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!
