Runner laments lack of attention on trek that took him across Canada and back Despite having the finish line in sight on Friday, he hadn’t yet thought about post-run life. “I’m still taking it one day at a time, even though it’s the last day,” Dostaler told KTW from Nanaimo, before setting out. “It’s another run but, at the same time, you’re trying to keep your head in the game. You know it’s the end, but you don’t want to say it. Everything that you worked towards is about to end in 30-something hours. “It’s also scary and daunting for me because the last three years I knew exactly what I was doing. Tomorrow, I don’t.”

dward “Fast Eddy” Dostaler wasn’t sure what to expect when he reached Clover Point on Vancouver Island Saturday afternoon. Just hours before beginning the final stretch in his 27,000-kilometre, 608-day journey, Dostaler was gearing up for one final 24-hour run when he spoke to KTW on Friday, the final leg of his There and Back Run spanning the roughly 117 kilometres from Nanaimo to Victoria. The 28-year-old finished running across Canada and back on Saturday, an effort to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, finishing at the spot his run began in March 2015.

Bones, boots back with Bade ‘I figured it was somebody stole it for Halloween’ JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

John Bade’s theory was a skeleton of the real story behind missing bones he hid in the bush to entertain his grandkids. “Right away, I figured it was somebody stole it [fake skeleton] for Halloween,” he said. The 66-year-old Kamloops grandfather recently sent a letter to KTW expressing disappointment someone removed a fake human skeleton he made and hung in the woods on Crown land near Mount Lolo. About six or seven years ago, Bade crafted the skeleton out of animal bones and hung it from a tree off a forestry road. He has taken his grandkids to visit it during outdoor excursions ever since, with the youngsters getting a kick out of their grandpa’s old boots hanging from the skeleton’s feet. When Bade returned to the site on Oct. 22, however, he discovered the skeleton was missing — and put pen to paper. “What do I say when my grandchildren ask, ‘Why did someone take our skeleton, granddad?’” Bade said in his letter, which ran on the opinion page in the Oct. 28 edition of KTW. “The lack of respect astounds me, but I believe what goes around comes around.” Unbeknownst to Bade, however, no one had stolen the skeleton. After the letter ran in KTW, those responsible for removing it read the

Charge upgraded against Abby man accused of murder David Albert Miller stands accused in August slaying TIM PETRUK

Six or seven years ago, John Bade, 66, hung this skeleton he made out of animal bones in a tree near Mount Lolo. It recently went missing, ultimately picked up by Kamloops Rural RCMP and he has since been reunited with the bones.

letter, identified the bones as belonging to Bade and contacted him. “It was the RCMP that took it down,” Bade said. Kamloops Rural RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird said police received a complaint from a hunter and the skeleton was picked up by police. “The thing is people didn’t know it was a hoax or a joke,” Aird said. RCMP have since reunited Bade with his skeleton and, while the grandfather said his faith in humanity has been

restored, he is disappointed he can no longer hang it on Crown land, calling it a “stretch” for anyone to believe it was real. “It’s so obvious it’s just bush art, not a skeleton,” he said. Bade said he has hidden other items for outdoor enthusiasts’ satisfaction, such as a “gigantic fishing fly.” “How many times have you gone out in the bush and seen something and been entertained by it?” he said. “It’s kind of neat when you come across

something different.” Bade said police advised him to hang it on his own property or other private land but he noted there have been no complaints in six or seven years. He’s unsure what he’ll do with the bones as of yet, but hopes to find a place where his grandkids and others can again be entertained by the skeleton in his old boots. “I think it’s kind of funny,” he said. “Maybe it’s my warped sense of humour.”

The charge against a Fraser Valley man accused of killing a woman in a Kamloops hotel in August has been upgraded. David Albert Miller is facing one count of firstdegree murder in connection to the death of Debra Novacluse. Miller, 54, had initially been charged with second-degree murder. The body of Novacluse, 52, was discovered at the Super 8 motel on Hugh Allan Drive in Aberdeen on Aug. 27. Miller was tracked by police and eventually arrested in Ontario in September. Both Miller and Novacluse were visiting Kamloops from Abbotsford, police have said. At the time of Miller’s arrest, police called the alleged slaying “a targeted attack.” Miller, who has been in custody since his arrest, is expected to appear in Kamloops provincial court for a bail hearing on Thursday, Nov. 3.

LOCAL NEWS REGIONAL DISTRICT

Public hearings held for gun ranch, marina ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A pair of public hearings at the Thompson-Nicola Regional District board of directors meeting passed with little fanfare Thursday afternoon. The hearings, one for the expansion of the Heffley Creek Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Club shooting range and the other, a rezoning amendment to establish a campground and marina at Quilchena Ranch, drew little discussion despite both projects having representation at the meeting. Both were read a third time. The campground and marina are expected to be developed on an eighthectare portion of Quilchena Ranch, roughly 15 kilometres northeast of Merritt. The property is located across Highway 5A from the Quilchena Golf Course, on the eastern shore of Nicola Lake. Dave Cunliffe, the proponent of the project, said tourism is growing on the lake. The new marina would provide access to the Quilchena Hotel and golf course, as well as the Sagebrush Golf Course. “Tourism revenue is up 150 per cent at Quilchena from last year and the marina will help grow business,” he said. “There is also a general public-safety component to the proposal. The marina site is the only protected moorage, boat launch and refuge during bad weather on Nicola Lake.” He added groups like the Kamloops Sailing Club and kite boarders would still have access to the site as paying guests.

Heritage park to get letter The TNRD supported the Lytton First Nation in its application for funding from the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT) on Thursday. The First Nation’s application was for a grant of up to $250,000 for the construction of a tourism information centre at the Stein Valley Nlaka’pamux Heritage Park. The park is one of B.C.’s major wilderness parks, stretching from the confluence of the Stein and Fraser rivers near Lytton, to the mountains near Lillooet Lake to the west. It is more than 100,000 hectares in area. The information centre would include a gift shop, education program and a guardian/watchman program and would help diversify the area’s economy with a sustainable tourism development. It is expected construction will begin in the spring of 2017, with operations beginning that summer.

As for the RV park, Cunliffe said that by moving the campground to the waterfront — in 2002, the TNRD approved a maximum of 100 campsites as part of the Quilchena Legacy Project on another site — it becomes more desirable and allows synergy between lake use and camping. There’s also an agricultural

BRIEFS Community Futures gets support The board of directors forwarded a letter of support to Community Futures Sun Country in its bid for funding from the B.C. Rural Dividend Fund. Community Futures is applying for $10,000 for business planning on behalf of the McAbee Fossil Beds Heritage Site. A working group for the site has been working recently to re-open the fossil beds to the public, but needs a business plan to “solidify their future direction and provide them with the necessary resources towards seeking partnerships and future investment in the site.” The McAbee Fossil Beds are located east of Cache Creek.

benefit as the ranch will swap the waterfront for the previously approved site. “The area that was previously approved for the RV park is about twice as good of agricultural land as the area we want to use,” Cunliffe said. The gun ranch bylaw, meanwhile, passed without debate.

TNRD assumes control of solid waste in Cache Creek Move comes ahead of impending closure of landfill in Cache Creek The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has taken over solid waste disposal in Cache Creek, in preparation for the closure of the Cache Creek landfill at the end of 2016. The TNRD is operating the existing residential drop-off location in the town, ensuring residents will continue to have a facility for solid waste disposal. The landfill ceased receiving solid waste from Metro Vancouver in July. Local garbage from Cache Creek and Ashcroft, as well as western TNRD transfer stations, will continue to be accepted by the landfill until the end of the year. Residents can drop off most types of solid waste and recyclables at the residential drop-off site, with winter hours spanning Wednesdays to Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. As of Jan. 1, disposal fees will be charged. Because there will be no scale at the site, fees will be charged by volume — $1 per bag or $10 per truckload. More information about the transition will be provided in coming months. Users can also go online to tnrd.ca.

The business case for the patient care tower proposed for Royal Inland Hospital should head for the approval process by December. Dr. Simon Treissman, chief of staff at the hospital, described the stage he and his colleagues at RIH are at with the patientcare tower, the second phase of expansion at RIH, as “hold-yourbreath time.” The proposal will go to the Interior Health Authority board of directors for review and ideally approval. The concept would include several patient services including 30-beds each in a medical-surgery inpatient unit and two mental-health focused units, along with 13 operating rooms, a neonatal intensive-care unit, labour and delivery rooms, offices and clinical space. At the concept level, it has been pic-

tured as a nine-storey building on the east side of the hospital above a two-storey below-grade parkade. Treissman said there have been some recent improvements to patient care at the hospital, including an increase in operating time available to surgeons. In mid-September, scheduling was increased by 12.5 per cent to allow the hospital to have nine operating rooms staffed daily, one more than in previous years. The ORs can now be used around the clock although most days, there is just one prepped to handle any surgical emergencies. That number can be increased, however, should there be the need that could result from a major accident or similar medical situation that could bring many people in who needed surgical care. There was a time when surgeries were being cancelled due to an insufficient number

of anesthesiologists but now, with the arrival of one from Newfoundland and Labrador, the city has about 18 in that specialty. A new orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Derek Butterwick, has also set up shop in the city and a locum doctor is coming to cover when another orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Callie Ackermann, takes a sabbatical. Several clinics have been moved to the clinical-services building since its opening, freeing up space for other uses. Treissman said plans are to create a new area for treatment of psychiatric cases that arrive at the emergency department, streaming them to a new clinical area in the sector where the orthopedics clinic used to be on the second floor. It is now in the new building. “This [vacated space] is creating a lot of opportunities for us,” he said.

Kamloops-trained doctors staying in community as locums DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

he first six doctors to finish their medical education in Kamloops have remained in the city to start their careers. Pediatrician Dr. Trent Smith, a faculty member of the University of British Columbia’s medical school, said it’s one of the successes of the partnership that sees UBC undergraduates and students doing handson learning come to Royal Inland Hospital. The program has been in place for five years, with graduating doctors involved for the past three years. The first cohort of six new doctors have not opened practices in the city but are providing locum coverage, which is always available, Smith said, or are working at the hospital. There are two cohorts of six each who come to RIH for their final two years of training as family doctors. The program is part of a provincial campaign to have medical students training in various parts of the province so they can see different working environments beyond those of the major hospitals on the Coast. At any given time, there are 12 students learning at RIH. “They have to figure out what they want to do with the next 25 years of

their life,” Smith said. “They’re finding their way.” As the practice of medicine continues to evolve, it could be none opens a practice. “Family medicine has changed,” Smith said, with young doctors choosing to focus on specific specialties like community or mental health “and it’s hard to run a practice that way.” The learning conditions have improved with the opening of the clinical-services building at the hospital. Up until it opening its doors, the students were using any empty space they could find at RIH for their lessons. One room they used for videoconferences was next to the hospital morgue “and there’d be a bone saw going off in the background. It wasn’t really conducive to learning,” Smith said. The students didn’t have a place to sleep if they were required to do overnights at the hospital as part of their learning, he said, something that has also been addressed in the new structure. Now, students have four state-ofthe-art video-conferencing rooms for lessons, five rooms they can use for overnight stays, a kitchen, lockers, showers and a change room. Through an agreement with Interior Health Authority, they can also use the new theatre for lessons or presentations if required.

A PARTY THAT EATS ITS OWN

an a political party really be as ridiculous as the B.C. Conservative Party? It’s hard to believe the Three Stooges party of provincial politics doesn’t already have its own reality show. After all, what the kids call “fails” are box-office bonanza online and

on TV. The latest drama surrounding the party that couldn’t plan straight is the ouster of recently elected leader Dan Brooks, the man whose resignation in January prompted a leadership race that he won in September. Confused? Join the electorate of British Columbia. Brooks stepped down in January, citing business and family commitments. Leading the Conservatives is a volunteer position and Brooks did not have time to feed his family, tend to his business and try to drag the party out of the deep, deep, deep end of the political wilderness. Brooks then decided he wanted back in and won a three-person leadership race at the party’s convention in Prince George in September. Last week, word came down that party brass had stripped Brooks of his leadership, claiming there was no quorum at the meeting that approved his candidacy. For a party that ranks below a birthday party at little Jimmy’s place in terms of public relevance, it should be grateful to have someone — anyone — willing to take the helm of a doomed enterprise. This latest bit of comedy relief harkens back to the days of Wild Wilf Hanni and the time the party’s convention in Kamloops led to the Mounties being called to a downtown hotel to bring peace to proceedings. The B.C. Conservative Party’s slogan is “Bring common sense to Victoria.” A laudable initiative indeed, though it remains debatable whether this band of bumblers can even find their way to the provincial capital.

Addressing the struggle

hen your child is struggling in school, it’s difficult as a parent to always know

what to do. Many of us will spend hours helping with homework, sitting on the couch reading together or breaking out the dreaded flashcards, but what if that isn’t enough? When your child is really struggling in school, whether it’s with social skills, behaviour, anxiety or because they can’t grasp concepts, it can be hard to know what steps to take and who to turn to for help. The first person to talk with is your child’s teacher. Your child’s teacher has a good sense of who your child is as a person and an idea where they may be struggling. Parents can let their children’s teacher know what is happening at home, whether it’s frustration with a certain subject or behaviours that have flagged concern. Sometimes children will behave one way at school and another at home, so it’s important to share. While parent-teacher interviews are an excellent opportunity to connect with the teacher, parents shouldn’t hesitate to contact them and ask for a meeting at other times during the year. At this stage, the teacher will be able to acknowledge your concerns and potentially develop some early interventions. These may be very simple, such as introducing subject matter in a different manner, re-teaching concepts or a change in classroom seating.

Teachers monitor how these first interventions help and, if there is no improvement, they may ask the learning assistance resource teacher (LART) for ideas and help. The teacher should be able to let families know what they are going to do to help a student. Additional interventions may be implemented, such as peer tutoring, one-on-one reading, academic intervention or other directed supported learning, if a child is still struggling. Teachers will pay attention to developmental benchmarks and will note if students are falling behind, if behaviour continues to raise concerns or if skills don’t develop as expected. Communicating with your child’s teacher to let them know how your child is feeling about school and how they are behaving are important pieces of information that will help them evaluate whether or not interventions are working. When learning interventions don’t work and it appears students are experiencing more than just a skill delay, teachers may enlist fur-

ther help from within the school. They may consult with the principal, the LART, school counsellors and other teachers. This school-based team works with students and families to identify individual challenges more precisely. At this stage, the LART may recommend evaluation tests. The role of the school basedteam is to develop strategies to assist children and, if necessary, bring in additional experts. District staff members, such as school psychologists, school family consultants or counsellors, speech and language pathologists and other specialists are all professionals who may be enlisted to form a school-based team. It is important to note a child does not need an individualized education plan to access additional support. Support can be provided in multiple ways, from simple interventions to short-term intensive strategies to bolster skills, as well as longer-term, ongoing supports, depending on student needs. Each child is different and will need different supports from different people. As the first point of contact, teachers will continue to provide support and assistance as students and their families move through the process. Regular communication between parents and teachers will assist in finding a solution for struggling students. Kathleen Karpuk is a KamloopsThompson board of education trustee.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR KAMLOOPS HAS GROWN DOG DESERVED BETTER

Editor: In September, my wife and I visited Kamloops, where we lived for two years in the early 1970s. We were amazed at the growth that has taken place during these 45 years of absence, but it’s all been positive. Certainly huge efforts have been made to enhance the general amenities of the city and we were particularly impressed with the amount of trees planted in the streets and in Riverside Park, a pleasant informative area for the population to enjoy. Many flowers throughout the city again makes it an attractive place to visit and, presumably, live. Royal Inland Hospital

seems to have doubled in size, but we were confounded by reports there are not enough doctors prepared to live and work in such a nice area of British Columbia. When we lived in Kamloops, people were super friendly and helpful. My wife taught French at McArthur Park secondary and I worked in the Burris Clinic. Sadly, both of these institutions are no more. Nothing stays the same forever, I suppose, but we have fond memories of a great place to live in Canada.

Brent and Carol Smith Berwick upon Tweed Northumberland United Kingdom

ENOUGH WITH SPENDING Editor: Kamloops councillors have decided taxpayers of Kamloops should be forced to pay $200,000 for a study that is already being conducted by the BC Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO), which I assume is also taxpayer-funded. Apparently, this is happening because city councillors don’t trust the BCEAO. I have had enough. This is but another example of the total disregard this city government has for tax dollars and the obvious disdain for taxpayers themselves. Mike Mclean Kamloops

Editor: The front-page article in the Oct. 20 edition of KTW (‘No jail time for beating dog to death’) detailed a cruel, inhumane action by a socalled adult man against a small, defenceless dog. As a strong supporter of animal rescue, I cannot turn a blind eye to this incident. I find it a challenge to express my thoughts on this in an acceptable manner for print. Nothing as reported on this can explain the inhumane killing of the dog. If a person is purchasing a dog for their family, it is common sense they research the breed to ensure the animal is a fit — not only in size, but in temperament and needs for the family. A small Chihuahua is not a good choice for a family with small children. A larger dog is more suitable. It is said the dog was adopted from California. In my experience with rescue dogs/organizations (and I have owned five such dogs), the groups I have supported have accepted dogs from outside B.C. and Canada. They are promptly

placed in an experienced and supervised fostercare situation, where they are fully vetted and evaluated so their needs are known and suitable adoption plans can be put in place. That is not to say this poor little dog did not receive the same help. The problem was within the home it went to and the family’s inability to recognize a dog’s characteristics and needs. An animal will bite as a defence mechanism. This Chihuahua was obviously aggravated beyond its tolerance. To beat a small, defenceless animal to death with a board cannot be described in printable words. But, as the saying goes, it takes all kinds to make a world. I would be seriously concerned that if such uncontrollable rage against a defenceless animal was used, it could easily be used against a child. There are many fine local resources available to help with behaviour issues and I am sure they would be willing to help. As a Chihuahua owner and a supporter of a Chihuahua rescue

organization, I have seen amazing results in dogs that have come from horrendous situations and I am confident that, with the right circumstances, this poor little dog’s outcome would have been better. Unfortunately, the judge in this case obviously did not fully understand animals and the rescuing of such. I do not see how the owner’s action was an “exceptional circumstance” and the minor slap on the wrist he received is certainly not a deterrent to anyone. It only goes to prove rescue groups cannot let up in their efforts to improve animal-protection rights. Although Bill C246 (Modernizing Animal Protection Act), presented by MP Nathan Erskine-Smith, did not pass (KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod did not support the bill), animal groups will continue their efforts to have improvements made. Rest in peace, little dog. You deserved so much better. D. Martin Kamloops

NDP pledges to speed up highway improvements Stone calls promise ‘most vacuous announcement’ he’s ever heard CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

NDP leader John Horgan wants the province to step on the gas to speed four-laning of the Trans-Canada Highway between Kamloops and the Alberta border. The Opposition leader was in Kamloops yesterday, where he met with reporters to announce his party would accelerate construction. “Christy Clark promised in 2012 to speed up work on this highway in order to improve safety and reliability. In the last four years, her government has only upgraded 13 kilometres. At that rate, it will take 70 years to finish the job,” Horgan said in a statement. The NDP said the lack of progress was evident in the recent closure of the highway in Yoho National Park for three days due to a rock slide. Todd Stone, B.C.’s

In the last four years, her [Christy Clark’s] “government has only upgraded 13 kilometres.

”

At that rate, it will take 70 years to finish the job.

— JOHN HORGAN, NDP leader

transportation minister and MLA for KamloopsSouth Thompson, called Horgan’s promises “the most vacuous announcement I’ve ever heard. “There are no specifics, timelines or dollars. It’s an opportunity to spend more, faster.” After becoming minister of transportation and infrastructure in 2013, Stone made a pledge for $650 million worth of spending over the next decade. With federal dollars, it’s more than $1 billion. Horgan said in an interview that additional spending will create jobs at a time when Tolko Industries is shutting its Merritt sawmill and Lafarge Canada will no longer produce cement out of Kamloops. “I want to create jobs sooner. I want to see apprenticeship ratios on

public sector projects. We should guarantee we train people as we go.” Horgan said timelines and costing for pledges to accelerate work on the highway will be in place in the party’s election platform. Saying “I don’t think John Horgan understands this,” Stone questioned where the new federal dollars will come from to increase the pace of highway construction. But Horgan said the Justin Trudeau government has promised to ramp up infrastructure spending. “I have to believe Mr. Trudeau’s commitment to building Canada — and that includes building B.C.” The party also charged the B.C. Liberal government has cost overruns on work it has done. New Democrats said Clark’s government

promised in 2013 to complete seven projects at a cost of $140 million but costs increased to $244 million for only five projects completed. Stone said he doesn’t know where the Opposition got the numbers. Since 2013, “we have projects completely delivered, in construction or well in the early stages.” Close to Kamloops, work underway includes completing four-laning between Hoffman’s Bluff and Chase. “Hoffman’s Bluff will be done this year.” Much of the work on the Trans-Canada Highway in recent years has been to the Kicking Horse Pass. The final four kilometres of four-laning at what Stone called “the most treacherous stretch in the country” will come at a cost of $450 million.

New Liberal immigration baseline: 300,000 next year, with more in future THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada won’t increase the number of new immigrants being welcomed to the country next year, but is laying the foundation for a bigger boost in levels in the coming years. Canada plans to bring in 300,000 new arrivals next year, the Liberal government announced yesterday — the same number established this year on a temporary basis to accommodate 29,000 additional newcomers as a result of the Syrian refugee crisis. Immigration Minister John McCallum said the 300,000 number is the foundational figure for future growth in immigration targets, although he shied

away from pegging an exact figure on the number of newcomers the country could welcome in the coming years. “I do believe that it is true that more immigrants for Canada would be a good policy . . . and we have today laid the foundation for that future growth,’’ McCallum said outside the House of Commons. Higher immigration targets are one part of a multi-pronged Liberal strategy to prod economic growth and stave off a slowdown in coming years. Another prong comes today when Finance Minister Bill Morneau delivers an economic statement that is expected to include some details about new infrastructure spending

measures. The plan is based on the work of a council of high-powered economic advisers who are guiding the Liberal government’s growth strategy. The council recommended increasing immigration levels by the tens of thousands, warning the country could face a demographics crunch without boosts to immigration levels. In a report released earlier this month, the council wrote that boosting the number of new immigrants would ease the looming crisis of too few working-age Canadians to help fund the social safety net, which depends on tax revenues to pay for things like health care and seniors’ benefits. The council rec-

ommended the government gradually increase immigration levels to 450,000 a year over the next five years, with a boost of 15,000 next year for an immigration target of 315,000. It is possible the federal government could meet or exceed that recommendation: The report McCallum tabled in Parliament shows immigration policies next year could yield between 280,000 and 320,000 new permanent residents. The Liberals have effectively reduced the number of refugees being targeted for next year to 40,000 from 55,800 and bumped up the number of economic immigrants — caregivers and skilled workers, for instance T:10.3125” — to 172,500 from

I do believe “that it is true that more immigrants for Canada would be a good policy.

”

— Immigration Minister John McCallum

160,600. McCallum said the 450,000 figure is something to aspire to, but insists that target wasn’t considered in establishing next year’s immigration target. McCallum said the government plans to address concerns from some industries who face bureaucratic burdens in hiring foreign workers for senior executive and high specialized roles with the skill sets lacking in Canada.

The federal government is sticking with 300,000 as the immigration target for 2017, making it the new baseline for welcoming newcomers to the country. Here are some numbers from the report released Monday, and the government’s economic advisory council: • 300,000: Immigration target for 2017. • 315,000: Immigration target the economic advisory council recommended for 2017. • 450,000: Immigration target the economic advisory council recommended for 2021. • 259,542: Average annual permanent resident admissions between 2011 and 2015. • 40,000: Refugees targeted to be brought to Canada in 2017. • 55,800: Refugees targeted to be brought to Canada in 2016. • Five: Percentage point increase in the family class category aimed at reuniting spouses, partners, parents, grandparents and children. — The Canadian Press

‘It was an error:’ Edmonton judge changes Travis Vader verdict to manslaughter THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — A judge has changed his flawed murder verdict to manslaughter in the highprofile case of Travis Vader — a satisfying fix for the family of two

missing seniors he was convicted of killing, but one the defence says is bound for a higher court. Queen’s Bench Justice Denny Thomas convicted Vader in September of second-

degree murder in the deaths of Lyle and Marie McCann. The couple, in their late 70s, disappeared after setting out from their Edmonton-area home to go camping in British Columbia in July

Fundraiser to support families with kids who have cancer JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Claire Adams moved to Kamloops from the Lower Mainland, she stepped away from the Gaby Davis Foundation, which helps B.C. families with children who have cancer. Little did she know, Adams would quickly meet people who could benefit from such support in her new community, prompting her to help start a local chapter.

“We’ve helped 89 families throughout B.C., seven of whom were in the ThompsonOkanagan area and two right here in Kamloops,” Adams told KTW. The Gaby Davis Foundation was started by the parents of Gabrielle Davis in memory of their child who died of cancer in 2007. While she was sick, her family learned the struggles of many who pay out of pocket for travel and other expenses during treatment.

Free Flu Clinics for Those at Risk • People 65 years and older and their caregivers/household contacts • People of any age in residential care facilities • Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts • Children and adolescents (6 months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods of time with Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA) and their household contacts • Children and adults who are morbidly obese (adult BMI ≥ 40, child BMI assessed as ≥ 95th percentile) • Aboriginal people (on and off reserve) • All children 6 to 59 months of age • Household contacts and caregivers of infants and children 0 to 59 months of age • Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy during the influenza season and their household contacts • Inmates of provincial correctional institutions • People who work with live poultry • Health-care and other care providers in facilities and community settings who are capable of transmitting influenza disease to those at high risk of influenza complications • Individuals who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high risk persons (e.g., crew on ships) • People who provide essential community services (first responders, corrections workers) • Visitors to health-care facilities and other patient care locations

— which would go into a fund to eventually help four more families in the area. “It’s really a starter event,” Adams told KTW. About half of the tickets had sold when KTW spoke to Adams on Friday, with 50 still available at $40 each. The event includes a buffet dinner, goody bags and a silent auction, with about 20 items. Adams is also inviting anyone interested in getting involved with the local chapter to call her at 250-571-4158.

More fundraisers are planned down the road and Gr8ful Plateful is intended to be an annual event. Having watched families lose children to cancer, Adams said it’s an important cause. “Those of us who have healthy families can be extremely grateful,” she said. Tickets for the event are available online at gabydavisfoundation. com/events. Doors open at 6 p.m. and dinner is at 6:30 p.m. The hotel is at 339 St. Paul St.

MAYWOOD CHASING WORLD TITLE Cubs take

aim at comeback

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

t normally takes bodybuilders years to accomplish what Darren Maywood has done in just one. The 46-year-old coowner of the North Shore’s No Limits Fitness is on his way to the IFBB Natural Worlds in Benidorm, Spain, this week, set to represent Canada in the international championship. It has been quite the year for Maywood who, prior to his recent run, had never participated in a fitness competition. “I’ve done three events, won all three and now I’m representing Canada at the Worlds,” Maywood told KTW. “It’s a little shocking and overwhelming, all at the same time.” Maywood will be competing against all ages in Spain — there’s no masters category at the world championship. The situation was much the same at the Canadian national championship, though, and the Kamloopsian was able to pick up a victory. “To do that at 46 is kind of a wow moment,” he said. Maywood has been tearing through the competition scene this year and is on an unusual run spanning a period of just months. After winning the first time he competed, he qualified for the B.C. provincial championship. Traditionally, it’s not recommended to do contests too close together, he said, as it’s hard for the body can recover. But feeling good, Maywood went to provincials anyway. He won there and qualified for nationals and, when he went to the Canadian championships three weeks later, won again despite the quick turnaround. “I did three competitions in seven weeks,” Maywood said. There was a bit of a delay

Maywood is having to deal with a new set of challenges, brought forth by international travel. He has to worry about the impacts the flight to Spain and water retention will have on his body. He’s set to arrive in the country on Thursday and will hit the stage on Saturday. Maywood is focusing on his own goals rather than results at worlds, however. He said he’s ahead of where he was when he went to nationals, so he’s excited to see what happens when he goes up

against the best athletes on the international stage. “Even though you are competing against other people, you have to have the mindset that you’re just competing against yourself,” Maywood said. “My goal every show has just been to bring a better version of me each time. If someone beats me on my best day, I’m OK with that. If you’ve done more work and just brought a better physique for what they’re looking for, that’s OK.”

CHICAGO — Success was practically stamped on Kris Bryant’s DNA. Long and lean, the son of a former minor leaguer was on almost everybody’s All-America team in high school and college and validated that promise quickly by grabbing the National League Rookie of the Year trophy last season at 23. This season, Bryant is the favourite to add the NL MVP award to a growing collection of hardware. That’s what made his struggles from the start of this World Series — a .071 batting average and a pair of throwing errors at third base in the same inning of Game 4 — so confounding. “Obviously, I haven’t been swinging the bat too great,’’ Bryant said. “So it was nice to get one to kind of help us all out.’’ His fourth-inning home run off starter Trevor Bauer awakened a hibernating Cubs offence and helped deliver a 3-2 win Sunday night that sent the series back to Cleveland for Game 6 tonight with the Indians holding a suddenly slippery 3-2 edge. Game time is 5:08 p.m. For all the things Bryant has soaked up about baseball, history is low on that list. So, when he was asked whether the Cubs could

join the short inventory of teams that came back from a 3-1 Series deficit to win, chances were good he couldn’t name even one. That hardly dented his confidence. “Why not us?’’ Bryant asked, the hint of a smile creasing his lips. “I feel like we play our best with our backs up against the wall. . . . Hopefully we can get out there and win Game 6, because you never know what can happen in a Game 7.’’ No, but with history as a guide, we can hazard a good guess about the challenge in climbing out of a 3-1 hole. Only five teams have turned the trick in a best-of-seven Series, the last one being the 1985 Kansas City Royals. The last team to do it winning twice on the road, as the Cubs will have to do, was the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. Yet even those long odds aren’t likely to trouble Bryant. “We’re all about writing our own history,’’ he said. “Someone told me today that 17 times this year we lost a game and went on to win three in a row. So why can’t we do that now?’’

He planned to run for approximately 48 weeks, making his way across the nation and back with the help of 28 pairs of shoes, $25,000 in funds and little more than a running stroller and a tent. He would raise money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Alzheimer Society of Canada, the former a tribute to a professor at Thompson Rivers University, the latter an ode to his grandmother, the one who nicknamed him Fast Eddy as a child. Originally, the run was expected to span 18,036 kilometres. When he turned around on the East Coast and made his way back to Victoria, Dostaler said he would be the first person in history to run across Canada and back continuously and unsupported. He set his fundraising goal at $250,000 and budgeted $25,000 for promotions, food and the occasional hotel stay. But when the start of the race finally rolled around, Dostaler hit the first of what would be many setbacks. He fell short of his original fundraising goal, collecting only $18,000 to pay for the endeavour. He left Kamloops hoping people would donate along the way, funding the occasional meal or hotel stay. Roughly 450 people and companies are recognized on Dostaler’s official webpage, each credited with everything

Donations to the causes never truly materialized as he’d hoped. He was at just $3,000 a few months into the run, reaching roughly $9,000 by the East Coast. In August 2015, as he ran through Quebec City, his personal financial situation was increasingly dire and he told KTW he was contemplating not doing the back half of the run. In October 2015, he halted the run entirely, flying back to Kamloops from Gander, N.L. He planned to grab a car and return east, beginning his run again with the support of a vehicle and incorporating school visits to begin doing motivational speeches. “We fail all the time,” he said last fall. “It’s a failure. Sometimes, you can be prepared for everything and still fail.” When Dostaler did return to the East Coast, it was with the vehicle. For much of Eastern

Canada, he ran in segments, running back to collect his car and move it to the last place he ran to every 10 kilometres. The breakups in the run made his claim of running continuously across Canada and back a dubious one. Questions also arose about why the tracking software that had once allowed fans to follow the journey on the Fast Eddy website was no longer available. Dostaler said he at times felt the need to disconnect from technology, that he wasn’t comfortable with people always knowing where he was. Speaking with KTW, he said he has no regrets about the manner in which he did the run. He said the school visits and outreach he was able to do by virtue of having transportation made it worth it. Coming back to Kamloops, which coincided with his grandparents’ wedding anniversary, was necessary. “I think it was crucial. You’re running there, solo and unsupported, pushing a jogging

stroller. No one was there in Cape Spear. What I needed was people. We needed to impact students,” he said. “Without that breakup, to come back for the car, to do those school presentations — it may have hurt the momentum but, in the end, it helped out individuals. “I would never go back and do it any other way. That was important.” Have runs lost their lustre?

Greg Douglas would never discourage anyone from doing a cross-Canada run. But the director of annual giving for the Canadian Cancer Foundation admitted that running, on its own, is probably no longer enough in a world filled with as many causes and fundraisers as one could imagine. “Doing a run may have lost its lustre in terms of being novel — the novelty factor,” Douglas said. “Does that mean people should jump out of a plane with a parachute, just to get attention? I don’t know.” Douglas said events are among the least efficient means of raising funds for a charity like the Canadian Cancer Foundation, bringing with them the highest costs. It can take more than 40 cents to raise one dollar with an event. But that’s not to say they don’t have value. If the event doesn’t happen, the foundation doesn’t get anything. With an independent project like Dostaler’s, the fundraiser itself absorbs the overhead — as evidenced by the funds needed to finance the There and Back Run. To be clear, Dostaler dedicated half of his run to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, a separate entity from the Canadian Cancer Foundation. But in speaking generally about donations,

Douglas said planned giving through a will is the most effective means by which the foundation raises funds nowadays. “I don’t think you can rely just on the fact that you’re doing something, anymore, to drive the attention and to drive the donors,” Douglas said. “I don’t think you can just do something like a run and expect that everyone is going to say, ‘Good on you. You’re doing a good thing. I’m going to support you.’” Dostaler remains uncertain about the total he was able to raise throughout the course of the There and Back run. In speaking with KTW on Friday, he estimated roughly $50,000 has been raised for his two charities, a number that includes funds donated by groups that were inspired by his efforts. In an effort to keep the money in the provinces of each individual donor, Dostaler didn’t utilize a central forum where the total funds could be tracked. He takes solace in the fact he’s raised awareness, but Douglas cautioned against the term. “As a fundraiser, awareness is not all that valuable until it influences or effects, either in the short or long term, funds that are really needed to address the cause, the issue, and provide the research,” he said. “I kind of have a bit of a pet peeve around the word awareness. Awareness is good, but it’s got to translate into something to move anything forward.” If you raise $1, is it worth it?

Regardless of how Dostaler’s journey differed from his original plans, there can be no doubt that running across Canada and back is an incredible feat. Dostaler said the experience has been an amazing one, yet

simultaneously difficult. He admits he wasn’t always the best to work with and knows that what he called honesty about life on the road sometimes bothered potential supporters. “I’m blunt and people want rainbows and sunshine and I’m not willing to deliver it all the time,” he said. “People didn’t like how sometimes I was negative. I got a lot of backlash when I actually said something wasn’t panning out. “When you made any one of those posts, if you told it the way it was or shared your own personal feelings towards it, people got upset and took it personally. Whereas what I was trying to do was basically just explain, this is what’s happening for me in this moment.” Despite all the highs and lows, he is humbled to have persevered. He hasn’t yet thought about life when he returns to the Tournament Capital. He has no interest in talking about what he would have done differently. Dostaler acknowledges that times are tough for a lot of people and that may have impacted donations. Nonetheless, he feels he has inspired a few people along the way. Dostaler said he didn’t expect to burst into tears when he concluded his journey Saturday — he’s not wired that way. He hopes people can think of his run as a way to remember they can do anything they set their minds to. Does he consider the run a success? Yes. Would he recommend running across Canada as a fundraiser? “If you have the heart and the drive and you want to help out Canada, why not?” he said. “As a fundraiser, your whole goal is to raise awareness and funds. If you raise one dollar, is it worth it? Absolutely.”

Obituaries & In Memoriam Leslie Muir

July 27, 1957 - October 15, 2016 Leslie Muir passed away October 15, 2016 at the age of 59. She was born July 27, 1957 to Keith and Margaret (Bubs) Brown and lived her entire life in Kamloops. Leslie reluctantly attended her early years of schooling but with her mother’s loving prodding she attended Douglas Lake, John Todd and AE Perry. Leslie graduated from Norkam Senior Secondary in 1975 and worked in Kamloops as a gas jockey, a child care worker, parts delivery girl and finally as a receptionist for Balco Industries. In 1979, at the age of 21, she married Gordon Muir. Soon after, at the age of 22, Leslie developed the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis but wasn’t fully diagnosed until 3 years later. Once diagnosed she was able to continue her employment with Balco until the winter of 1986. She lived with Gord at their Kamloops home until 2006 at which time her doctors diagnosed that her increased level of care required placement into a Long Term Care Facility. Although Leslie was faced with many physical struggles she rose above them with class and dignity. After visiting with her, people would always say they came away feeling like a better person. She was proud, determined, loving, patient and had an incredible memory. Her very quick wit and keen sense of humour provided much laughter and enjoyment for Leslie and all those around her. She loved fast cars, first her Dad’s T bird and then her own red Camaro which she reluctantly parked in 1987 when she had to rely on her wheelchair for mobility. She also loved and adored her dogs Bimbo, Tasha and Chelsea.

wanted to do. Travelling to the sun and sand were highlights of her life and she often spoke about the trips she took with Gord, her parents, cousin Brenda (Doug) and long-time friends Garry and Mary. They travelled to Hawaii, Florida, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta as well as the Yukon and Alaska where she could put her feet in the ocean and sip her favorite Appleton’s rum. She loved clothes and shopping and would embrace any opportunity to visit the mall and her favorite clothing stores. And of course there was Christmas and getting her picture taken with Santa and family members was always on the top priority list of things to do. Les also really enjoyed Blazer’s hockey which she attended for many years and developed a special ‘in’ with the mascot Digger. The Dreamweaver’s are a close group of individuals who also have MS. Leslie was a proud member of this group and together with family and friends participated in the annual Kamloops MS walk to help raise money and awareness. Leslie touched many lives and will be remembered with love and missed everyday. She is survived by her husband Gord, father Keith Brown, big brother Jim (Sally) Brown and older sister Kathie (Tom) Dunn. She also leaves to mourn her nephews Sean and Kevin, nieces Lindsay (Ryan), Allison and many favorite cousins, friends and caregivers. She was predeceased by her Mum in 2014. The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the many care aids and staff from Home Support Services, Ponderosa and The Hamlets. We would like to extend a special thank you to the The Gemstone Care Center for their outstanding support and careful attendance in all aspects of Leslie’s physical care and emotional wellbeing.

Josephine was born on November 13, 1919 in New Westminster, BC. Josephine is survived by her daughter Dianne (Dale), grandchildren Shane (Lia), Jody (Corey), Duane (Belle) and by her greatgrandchildren Brooklyn, Kaya, Jayla, Logan, Chenoa and Mitchell. Josephine was predeceased by her loving husband Ted Taylor. Josephine will be remembered by all who knew her for her great sense of humour and for being a spectacular, classy lady.

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

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.

John “Jack” William Dempsey 1936 - 2016

With great sadness the family of Jack Dempsey announces his peaceful passing on October 26, 2016 at the age of 80 years. Jack was born on June 19, 1936 in Edmonton and moved to Kamloops with his family in 1948. He has resided in Kamloops since that time upon hiring out on the CN Railway in 1955 as a Locomotive Fireman, initially working steam engines until diesel engines became the norm. As the years advanced he became a Locomotive Engineer working mainly the Fraser Canyon run. A memorable event for Jack was the honour of piloting the Royal Hudson on an anniversary run through Kamloops with his brother Jim. After 38 years, Jack retired from the railroad in 1993. His “Last Run” coincided with that of his brother Jim, who brought his train in from Blue River to meet Jack’s train coming in from Boston Bar. Jack kept busy in his retirement tending to his large yard and ardently supporting his grandchildren’s activities. Jack is survived and lovingly remembered by his wife of 53 years Lucille, daughters Aline (Ron) Ngai, Sheila (Gilbert) Boudreau, son Darren (Paige) Dempsey, grandchildren Marcus Ngai, Breanna, Sarah and Mackenzie Boudreau, Emira, Kaden and Ainsley Dempsey, brothers Jim (Sandra) and Ed (Jeanne) Dempsey. Predeceased by parents Sam and Mimi Dempsey and sister June Janning. The family expresses deep appreciation to the doctors and staff at Royal Inland Hospital and Kamloops Cancer Clinic.

REMEMBER By Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can go no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
