Residents get say on proposed trail linking Sahali with downtown ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city of Kamloops is seeking feedback on a planned $3.25million trail system connecting the downtown and Sahali as it looks to secure up to $1 million in provincial funding for the project.

An online survey at kamloops. ca/transportation will run until Nov. 16, followed by a public open house on Nov. 23 from, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Sa-Hali secondary, 255 Arrowstone Dr. Assistant transportation engineer Liam Baker said the city is moving ahead quickly on the trails because the provincial government has moved up the next round of its Bike BC grants. The granting program was supposed to close in April of next year, but will now close in mid-December, with cash announcements expected to come before May’s provincial election.

Without the $1 million — which would be supplemented with another $2.25 million from the city’s active transportation reserves — Baker said it is unlikely the project will go ahead soon.

Baker said the large pricetag for the project is due to the geographical complexity of putting a trail through the park, but also because the connection will have more amenities than the average walking route.

“I think of it more as a small road than a trail,” he said. “It’s paved and three metres wide for its entire length. It has structure like a road would with gravel below the asphalt. We’re planning to have lighting for the entire length, so there’s electricity for that whole length as well.”

Baker said the goal of the project is to get commuter cyclists off Columbia Street “which is narrow, busy and has some topography challenges.”

The city resisted calls from some cyclists to add bike lanes to Columbia Street when it was widened last year, arguing the road

The city is holding an open house looking for feedback about a proposed $3.25 milliom walking trial that would link downtown Kamloops with Sahali, through Peterson Creek near Sa-Hali secondary.

isn’t suitable as a biking corridor.

Baker said the Peterson Creek route would improve traffic safety and provide new recreational opportunities for hikers and walkers. He expects about 350 people would use the route every day.

The new route, which would

connect Glenfair Drive to Sa-Hali secondary through Peterson Creek Park, is shorter than a Columbia Street commute, Baker said, at about 1.75 kilometres instead of approximately 2.5 kilometres for a cyclist starting downtown. It will also be steeper, with

an estimated eight to 10 per cent grade in some spots.

Baker said preferences for dealing with steeper sections, whether through rest points, switchbacks, or other alternatives, will be one aspect of the public feedback collected this month.

LOCAL NEWS Almost 70 per cent of respondents to a questionnaire issued by the City of Kamloops said they get around the city most often by driving alone, but support is still strong for transit and pedestrian routes. Mayor Peter Milobar said the city should be cautious in drafting its next transportation master plan, which is slated to be completed once the municipality’s official community plan is updated next year.

HOW ON EARTH DO YOU SUBDIVIDE PROPERTY? Considering subdividing your property? You may have heard nightmarish stories from people who’ve gone through the process.

Subdivision is highly regulated in British Columbia and can indeed be a complicated process. Depending on the nature of the subdivision and the location of the subject property, there could be numerous levels of government involved in the process. You will need to retain a land surveyor and may need to involve various other professionals to assist with matters such as riparian, geotechnical, archaeological and wildfire assessments to name a few.

The process can take a long time.

Ensure you’ve realistically considered how long it will take from conceptualization to final registration at the Land Title Office.

City staff told car is still king among Kamloops commuters ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Residents want more trails and cycling routes, but public engagement conducted for the city of Kamloops shows the car is still king in the Tournament Capital.

Nearly 70 per cent of residents who responded to online or in-person questionnaires from the city said they get around the city most often by driving alone, James Donnelly, senior transportation engineer with Urban Systems, told city council at a workshop this week.

The second-most popular response was also driving with at least one other person in the vehicle, which 46 per cent of res-

idents reported doing (responders were allowed to choose multiple answers to the question).

Biking and busing scored the lowest of the results at 27 and 19 per cent, with walking coming in at 40 per cent.

Donnelly said while cars are the city’s preferred mode of transportation, survey participants generally said they would rather see the city spend more money on sidewalks, walking paths and cycling trails — with about 20 per cent of respondents arguing the city should stop expanding vehicle capacity on its roads to encourage the use of alternative transportation.

The survey results will help form the city’s next transportation master plan, which will be completed once the city updates

its official community plan next year. Mayor Peter Milobar said the city needs to read between the lines when it comes to responses.

“It’s very easy to say, ‘Well, if only there was this half block of sidewalk on the street I’d walk to work more often’,” he said.

Milobar said he supports improving the city’s transit system and pedestrian routes, but some of the numbers showed a conflict between what people want and what they’ll actually use.

“I think you have to be mindful that, when you ask people, ‘Would you like to do more of what you know is good for your health and welfare and the environment,’ they’re going to say, ‘I would love to do more,’” he said.

Problem panhandler banned from six blocks of downtown

Police describe James Peters as ‘a huge drain’ on resources CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A justice of the peace has banned a downtown panhandler from six blocks of Victoria Street.

James Peters was issued a bylaw ticket for aggressive panhandling by RCMP in the early morning hours of Canada Day. He did not pay the ticket nor show up for two appearances in bylaw court, including Wednesday’s sentencing.

“He’s a huge drain on our resources,” RCMP Cst. Todd Henderson testified in bylaw court.

Henderson testified in front of Justice of the Peace Joan Hughes, who sentenced Peters

to the street prohibition.

The city’s lawyer, Kaitlyn Cumming, asked for a six-month ban prohibiting Peters from being in the 100 to 700 blocks of Victoria Street. That penalty is available under B.C.’s Offence Act. With Peters absent for what was supposed to be his trial in bylaw court, the city proceeded in his absence rather than asking for an arrest warrant.

The only witness who testified was the Mountie who issued him the ticket. Henderson also testified he reminded Peters recently of the court appearance.

Henderson testified he issued the ticket for aggressive panhandling after witnessing Peters

asking a woman for money on Victoria Street, with cowboy hat in hand, and failing to take “no” for an answer.

“He continued to walk after her, asking for money.”

The order by Hughes will allow RCMP to arrest Peters if he is spotted on the six blocks of Victoria Street for the next six months. He can be charged with a breach of a court order.

Henderson said Peters has been arrested and held until sober dozens of times.

“Provincial bylaw tickets have no effect on him,” Henderson said.

“He tells me he drinks 24 beers a day. . . . He doesn’t have the means to pay.”

B.C’s recent statistics as a victim of patienton-patient violence in a care home. . .

He entered the care home on Feb. 25, 2013, was attacked on June 12, 2013 and passed away as a result of his injuries on July 2, 2013.”

Janzen declared the cause of death to be necrotizing pneumonia that resulted from his immobilization following the assault.

While she called it a homicide, she said that term does not imply fault or blame.

On June 29, Mackenzie released a report that looked at 422 incidents of aggression causing harm between residents in care homes in the province in 2015.

Among her recommendations: • Resident-resident aggression be defined and tracked in a consistent manner in all care facilities and at a provincial level; • A review of the adequacy of staffing for residents with

more complex needs, particularly during busy times like dinner hours; • More comprehensive training for staff be provided to deal with aggressive behaviours that would included standardized follow-up protocol; • Adopt strategies and design features that are known to be effective in mitigating aggressive behaviours including exploring the use of locking systems for private rooms to mitigate wandering behaviours.

Lake said his ministry “immediately started” looking at the recommendations and is putting together a working committee to review them and act on the recommendations.

He said Mackenzie’s report reflects the strength of her office and his ministry will be moving forward guided by her words.

Family finally has answers Moneca Jantzen and her family have waited more than three years to officially learn why her father is dead.

She has always known the truth but still found the report by coroner Margaret Janzen difficult.

“It was painful to read the description of how he was attacked and be reminded of the three difficult weeks that followed until his death,” Jantzen said of her father, John Peter Shippobotham, a resident at Overlander Extended Care Facility who died just months after he entered it when dementia made it impossible for his family to care for him.

“My father was in relatively good health when we took him to live in this facility in February of 2013,” Jantzen said, “and yet, he was dead only four months later. In retrospect, it was an entirely traumatizing experience from start to finish and that he should meet his end the way that he did is tragic.”

She wants to see the recommendations in the coroner’s report implemented.

Cindy Kozak-Campbell, executive director of residential services for Interior Health Authority, said changes were made rienced. She notes he was healthy but had developed dementia and could no longer be cared for at home.

Another resident at Overlander had a more complex medical condition that led him to be territorial about his room and violent toward people who entered uninvited.

Shippobotham entered the man’s room on June 12, 2013, at about 4:30 p.m. and was assaulted. A health-care aide passing the room heard his cries for help and found him pushed up against a door by the other resident who was saying “Get him out.”

There was

as a result of Shippbotham’s death.

That included a full system review on how patients with complex behaviour are cared for “and the heart of it was safety.”

She said it’s a complicated area “and there’s always more work to be done” but a focus was in educating staff on how to recognize and intervene with challenging behaviours sooner.

That included the authority’s PIECES (Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Capabilities, Environment, Social) initiative. It brings together an interdisciplinary team that can work together to asses risk and develop an appropriate care plan.

Kozak-Campbell said it’s important to involve the patient’s family because they are the ones who have been caring for their family member and have developed ways of dealing with their health conditions.

IHA hired two more knowledge co-ordinators to join the one already on staff.

This team’s job is to focus on educating staff on dealing with complex care issues.

“We will always have some of those unpredictable cases,” she said, “but we are purposely looking for conditions that might

blood on the floor, Shippobothan’s nose was bleeding and he couldn’t put weight on his left leg.

The aide managed to break the two apart and, with the help of other staff, took Shippobotham back to his room, where a nurse determined he had a broken nose and leg injury.

At Royal Inland Hospital he was prescribed Tylenol 3s and returned to Overlander.

X-rays showed he had a hip socket and pelvic fracture and he was confined to bed for eight weeks while he healed.

During that time, he was taken to RIH four times to deal

trigger something.”

Jantzen called the recommendations important “and I’m so glad they remained intact throughout the review process. Facilities mustn’t be given an opportunity to sweep these incidents under the proverbial carpet.

“Changes can’t happen without proper reporting of what is actually going on in the care homes.”

She acknowledges people like the man who attacked her father aren’t likely to be convicted of a crime due to their health issues.

“Reporting an assault to the police changes the way the incident is treated by the authorities and the degree of accountability goes up considerably. It becomes a learning opportunity.”

with complications of and treatment for his injuries.

Two weeks after the assault, he had a cough; he eventually developed pneumonia and died on July 2, 2013.

Janzen’s report notes staff had concerns about the other resident’s volatility. While they knew enough to knock on his door and wait for permission to enter, residents of the ward couldn’t be expected to be that aware of this necessity.

In another facility where the person had resided, a lock was installed on his door but was ordered removed by the fire marshal’s office.

Janzen noted Shippobotham’s family was not told of the assault, nor was the RCMP. In a KTW story on July 8, 2013, Shippobotham’s wife Vera said she felt the Interior Health Authority was trying to spin what happened on June 12.

She said in the five months he was at Overlander, he had three sets of black eyes.

Shippobotham’s daughter thanked Janzen on her social media for the report, saying she was hoping it brings closure and long-lasting changes would be made “to a broken system. Three years. Wow. Sigh.”

The discount airline came onto the scene in July, promoting the cheap flights Canadians so desperately desire to locations like Edmonton and Victoria. But the airline suspended service to the Tournament Capital at the end of October and will not return in December, as was originally promised.

Just when it seemed like the options for Kamloops travellers were expanding in the city, passengers will again have just Calgary and Vancouver to choose from when selecting direct flights.

NewLeaf has said it is still planning to return to Kamloops but, given their broken promise of a December return, we won’t be holding our breath.

HOT: The Chicago Cubs.

The Cubbies snapped a 108-year World Series drought on Wednesday night, defeating the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in extra innings to erase what had been a 3-1 series deficit. Game 7 garnered more than 40-million viewers and was the most-watched baseball game in 25 years.

The series-clinching game had it all — home runs and blown leads, allstar pitchers throwing on short rest and veteran players coming through in the clutch, two historic franchises trying to snap epic World Series droughts.

Chicago became just the sixth team ever to come back from trailing three games to one in the World Series and are the third team ever to go from a 100-loss season (2012) to a World Series win in a five-year span.

Game 7 was the highest-scoring winner-take-all game in the Fall Classic since 1960.

Something tells us Kamloops’ Gord Schmidt was a happy man Wednesday night.

Frightening time for U.S.

D

onald Trump may not win the election next week — although he is at least going to come close — but even if he loses, the wells are poisoned.

Either “Crooked Hillary” becomes president and spends the next four years fighting off legal challenges and fearing assassination by some of Trump’s more deranged admirers. Or Trump becomes the 45th U.S. president and the United States becomes the world’s biggest and most dangerous loose cannon.

The race was probably always closer than the opinion polls suggested. The last-minute decision of FBI director James Comey to hint publicly he might reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s “extremely careless” use of a private email server when she was secretary of state has undoubtedly made it closer.

Inevitably, the media took this to mean he had reopened the case and it is hard to believe he did not act with malice aforethought.

As John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign manager, said: “Director Comey’s letter refers to emails that have come to light in an unrelated case, but we have no idea what those emails are, and director himself notes they may not even be significant.”

Trump was already claiming the election was rigged against him and that he might not accept a Clinton victory.

Comey has created an equal and opposite likelihood that Democrats will regard a Trump victory as illegitimate, and refuse to accept him as president.

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH Either way, it will be the birther conspiracy all over again.

This is almost entirely Trump’s fault. With constant lies and threats and personal abuse, he has brought the entire electoral process into disrepute, and the American media have let him get away with it because he was entertaining.

Many billions of dollars of free publicity later, this ignorant and bombastic “sociopath” — the word that Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter of Trump’s premature autobiography The Art of the Deal, uses to describe him — stands on the threshold of great power. And Schwartz, in an interview with The Observer last month, was very frightened about the possibility he would become president.

Schwartz didn’t even find it over the top to talk about a Trump presidency in terms of martial law, an end of press freedom and nuclear war.

We must hope that really is over the top, but we should also bear in mind Schwartz has probably spent more time actually talking to Trump than any other non-family adult has done in the

past 30 years.

But the omens are not good if Trump loses the election either, because that doesn’t mean Clinton wins it. At least not for the very large chunk of the American population who will have voted for The Donald.

Clinton would have to preside over a bitterly divided country in which almost half the population believe she has stolen the presidency — and there is a strong possibility Trump would start sending out coded calls for violence.

He already did this once in August, when he was whipping up a crowd with accusations Clinton would override the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which most gunowners believe enshrines the right of American citizens to own weapons.

If Clinton created a majority in favour of gun control on the U.S. Supreme Court, Trump warned the audience, then that’s it: “Nothing you can do, folks.” The pro-gun crowd started to boo, and after a little hesitation Trump added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

Like most public incitements to violence, it was veiled and oblique, but it was also unmistakable.

It would be heroically optimistic to believe that Trump would not serve up more of the same if he loses the election. One way or another, it is going to be an ugly and frightening time in the United States.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DRAWING ATTENTION TO THE VALUE OF LIFE Editor: Surely people have been wondering why a group gathers daily outside Sacred Heart Cathedral.

People who are usually busy working, volunteering in the community or caring for family and friends are dedicating 40 days to draw attention to the value of life.

By standing in silent, prayerful vigil, they encourage others to become informed on important issues: euthanasia, assisted suicide

and abortion.

Many of the adults at the vigil grew up in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

They are well aware of the challenging choices of life.

Their realization of the potential of every human being has led to the message on the signs: Choose Life.

Around 200 people — babies, youth, young adults, parents and grandparents, old bachelors and young pregnant moms — are standing up

for life from Sept. 28 to Nov. 6.

Canadians are fortunate to live where the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is based on the Christian values of free choice and love of neighbour.

It has never been easier to access information in order to make informed choices about medical care when difficult or unexpected health issues occur.

In the 30 years without an abortion law in Canada, crisis pregnancy

centres and social programs have evolved to support young families.

However, lack of information and misinformation has led Canadians to believe that there is a need to kill the vulnerable and unprotected.

Recent legislation in Canada is a great concern to those who respect life from conception to natural death.

Those in the medical field, who could never have imagined having to assist in ending a patient’s life, may be required to

PARK VISIT UNEXPECTEDLY CUT SHORT Editor: I had this problem a couple of years ago and now it is happening again.

I was at the park tonight just after 7 p.m. with my threeyear-old son.

Sometimes I don’t get home until after 6 p.m. and our afterdinner activity, where we get to talk and get a little exercise, is walking our dogs in Westsyde Park,

through the dog park and along the dike.

Yes, I know it’s dark. We do not care — we have a flashlight.

Tonight, a city employee approached me as we were returning to our car and said, “Good timing, I was just about to lock the gate.”

Lock the gate?

It was just after 7 p.m. The sign at the entrance to the park

says “open 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.”

When I told him this, he mumbled something about having to lock up all the parks in town early, but his tone suggested he wasn’t following procedures.

The hockey rink lights are still on, which is another irritating aspect to this story as there are times when I (and I’m sure others) use the

rink/tennis courts in the evenings.

Why, outside of laziness, would a City of Kamloops employee be locking a park up nearly four hours before closing time?

It’s bad enough there are no lights in the park.

Can’t you at least let us use it in the evening?

Chad Pearson Kamloops

do so by health authorities or professional organizations.

Access to palliative care and hospice is inadequate with most Canadians unable to get this effective and beautiful end of life care.

To whom much is given, much is expected.

Please research and educate yourself and others about life for all: unborn, handicapped and elderly.

MY POPPY IS ROOTED IN POLITICS AND PAIN Editor: A century ago, Canada’s best, each one imbue with youthful zest, marched away on a desperate quest, which pinned this poppy on my chest.

Huddling together in sodden trenches; hands aching from impulsive fist clenches; inhaling death’s unforgettable stenches: Canadians I never met, to whom I owe a debt, lest I forget.

Trade deal expected to help B.C. beef Pact with Europe could prove to be a boon for ranchers in the Kamloops area CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

B.C. beef is expected to be a major benefactor of the trade deal with Europe signed at the 11th hour.

Canada and the European Union signed the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) after objections by a region of Belgium were largely satisfied.

B.C. Liberal government’s Minister of International Trade, Teresa Wat, called it “Canada’s most-historic trade initiative” next to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Kevin Boon, general manager of B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, said the opening of Europe’s borders to Canadian beef “is huge.”

The trade in Canadian beef to European markets today is

The province expects beneficiaries to include forestry, mining, agriculture and seafood.

Why You Need Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More...

Research shows that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse atherosclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. A lack of vitamin C and lysine results in poor collagen and weak arteries.

Collagen is the key to healthy coronary arteries. These arteries are under more pressure than any other artery in the body. After all, they’re situated in the heart’s muscle and the heart beats 100,000 times every 24 hours, or 37 million times a year, and 2.2 billion times if you live to 70 years of

estimated at $6 to $10 million a year.

“We expect that to go to $600 million,” Boon said.

Once the deal is implemented, Boon said it will take time for Interior producers to prepare for the new market opportunity.

“The real benefit is we’re the first to have a deal with the EU. We’re ahead of the U.S. and will be able to get markets established.”

pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, resulting in blood clots or rupturing of a weakened artery, resulting in a stroke. min C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone.

There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy collagen.

Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age many of their teeth were normal. Rather, it was the gums to inadequate amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy. Without good mortar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth.

The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections and anxiety.

In addition to providing healthy collagen production and a healthy cardiovascular system, vitamin C and lysine supplementation helps support:

t Immune system health t Vision t Teeth and gums t Wound healing

t Bones and cartilage t Recovery from shingles t Recovery from herpes outbreaks

This is why I’ve been taking high doses of vitamin C and lysine for the last 19 years following a heart attack. I believe it saved my life. Medi-C Plus® containing high doses of vitamin C and lysine, is available in powder and capsules.

Building-permit demand continues to surge ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The demand for residential building continues in the city of Kamloops.

Once again, the value of residential building permits issued by the city was up from 2015, with more than $12.2 million in permits issued this October compared to $7.3 million this month last year.

The city issued permits for another 49 unit of housing, bringing the total units permitted for the year to 552. Director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski told KTW last month the city had expected to issue about 375 residential permits for all of 2016.

Single family homes accounted for the largest portion of residential permits, at 20, with all categories of multi-family projects adding another 19 permits.

However, single family home permit numbers still lag behind last year, with

Demand for building permits in Kamloops remains high, according to city officials. City hall says it handed out 375 residential permits in 2016, and 522 overall.

120 permits issued to date compared to 199 at this time in 2015. Multi-family apartment permits have accounted for much of this

year’s increase in residential permitting, with 295 issued so far in 2016 compared to just 127 last year.

Anti-time changers keep up fight Bob Dieno heads up a local group looking to end changing time in B.C. ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Clocks across North America will go back an hour this weekend, but a pair of Kamloops campaigners hope they’re one step closer to seeing the end of the time change in B.C. Bob Dieno has been working to get British Columbia off the time change since he served as president of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce in 20122013.

He said he dislikes the annual cycle of spring ahead and fall back from both a business and public safety sense, citing studies which have found the

disruption of sleep patterns, particularly during the spring time change, can lead to lowered productivity, increased workplace injuries and more traffic accidents.

Some studies, both U.S.-based and international, have linked the spring time change to an increase in heart attacks.

While the fall time change is usually considered the less harmful of the two, Dieno points to a 2007 study from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where researchers found pedestrians were three times more likely to be struck by a car during rush hour traffic in the first few weeks following the time change.

“On Monday, we’ll all come home from work in the dark now,” he said.

“There’s no gradual change of it slowly getting darker and darker.

“Suddenly, we all come home in the dark and the accidents go up dramatically right

after the time change because people just aren’t used to driving home in the dark.”

With the switch to standard time, Dieno and co-campaigner Tara Holmes have launched a new petition calling on the B.C. government to hold a referendum on the time change alongside next May’s provincial election.

Should residents vote to abolish the time change, Dieno said he would like to see the province stay on daylight savings time year-round.

So far, it has about 2,400 signatures.

Both the Kamloops and B.C. Chambers of Commerce have supported proposals to abolish the time change, and Dieno will get another boost this month from Penticton MLA Dan Ashton, who told KTW he plans to raise the issue at the winter meeting of the Pacific North West Economic Region (PNWER) in Boise, Ida., later this month.

The group represents B.C., Alberta, Saskatchwan and the Yukon and Northwest Territories, as well as Alaska, Montana, Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

Ashton, who is president of the group, said any change to B.C.’s timezone would likely have an effect on trade with those states and provinces.

“So, if we were going to do something ourselves, personally I think there should be an opportunity to discuss it with our trading peers,” he said.

Several of PNWER’s member states have come close to giving voters a say on the time change, though none have yet been successful in getting the issue on a ballot.

Both Washington and Oregon have considered the issue in the past few years and further south, a California initiative fell just short of the required number of votes in the state senate, with legislators raising concerns about

Violent woman gets five weeks in jail for assaults on ex-boyfriend CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A woman with a history of violence against her spouse has been sentenced to another month in jail.

Inge Andrade pleaded guilty in provincial court to assault causing bodily harm as well as a number of breaches of court orders.

It marks the fourth conviction for violence

for the 43-year-old woman against her partner, Quinn Smith.

Crown prosecutor Monica Fras said the assault occurred on June 21 this year. A resident of an apartment on Royal Avenue called police when he saw Smith slumped outside of a unit, bleeding from the head.

Smith told police that Andrade attacked him with a piece of vacuum cleaner, caus-

ing bruising and bleeding on his head. He escaped to his balcony and then onto a neighbour’s balcony out of fear of Andrade.

She also breached a number of court orders to stay away from him.

“She doesn’t appear to have any insight into this,” Fras said, citing a pre-sentence report.

In previous incidents, Andrade was convicted of punching and kicking Smith as

the tourism and trade impacts of an increase in the time difference between the east and west coasts for part of the year.

While no state has yet made the leap, Dieno argues if one government were to take the initiative, many others would follow suit.

“I just think somebody has to take that lead.”

Ashton said if Dieno wants B.C. to be at the head of the pack, he may want to try appealing to a lower level of government first by finding a supportive city to raise the issue at the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

“That’s something government listens to on a continual basis,” he said.

well as attempting to light his clothes on fire while he slept. In some instances the beatings were seen by onlookers in a public place.

Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate said Andrade “realizes the relationship is toxic.”

He said while Smith reported incidents to police, Andrade has been silent about his conduct.

“She’s never reported. . . . She doesn’t seek the help of others or complain.”

Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand sentenced Andrade to the 120 days sought by Crown.

With time served, her effective sentence is 37 more days. She will also serve a year of probation during which she is not to have contact with Smith.

RIH-born triplets doing well after stay in neonatal ICU TRACY HUGHES

BLACK PRESS

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

SALMON ARM — A half-eaten piece of toast and a cup of cold coffee sit on the end table.

Three high chairs are lined up against the living room wall, flanked by three brightly decorated exersaucers, and a colourful plastic fenced play yard that covers the lion’s share of the living room.

A basket filled with clean laundry sits on the couch.

And, in the middle of it all, are three identical infants with mirror-image blue eyes and silky brown hair.

They babble to each other happily, while finding toys to jam in their mouths.

This is what life looks like at the Meeuwsen household as Mahalia and

Mike’s rare, naturally conceived, identical triplets celebrated their first birthday on Thursday, Nov. 3.

The girls, who spent six weeks in the neonatal intensivecare unit at Royal Inland Hospital immediately after birth, are healthy and growing — each one now weighs over 20 pounds.

“The girls are amazing,” said Mahalia of Hannah, Rileigh and Isabelle.

“From the way they are moving around, it won’t be long before they are walking.

That will change life again.”

While the girls are identical, they conveniently each have a birthmark in a different place to confirm their identities.

“I can tell them apart I haven’t mixed them up yet,” said Mahalia, who admitted her husband has

a more difficult time with that.

“He’ll pick up one and says ‘Hi Izzy’ and I’ll say, ‘No, that’s Rileigh.’ So we will double-check.”

They also have personality differences.

Isabelle is known as “busy Izzy” and is the go-getter of

the three, who was the first to roll over, although all three girls learned that skill on the same day — Izzy in the morning and Hannah and Rileigh in the afternoon.

As any parent can attest, life with an infant can be exhausting. It’s hard to even come up with a word that could describe how tiring life with three babies can be.

“Everything has to

be scheduled — feeding, bathing, changing, cooking, sleeping.

I think that’s been the hardest part.

“You start to feel like that movie Groundhog Day, every day’s the same.

You try to get out of the house, but it is very difficult,” said Mahalia, who recently decided to get out of the house and walk down Okanagan Avenue to go pick up her van.

Because of the steep downhill and the weight of three babes in the 40-pound stroller, Mahalia, a diminutive woman who could not weigh much more than the load, wrapped a rope around her waist and attached it to the stroller for safety’s sake.

“I went down, but only because I knew I’d be driving back up,” she laughed.

“But I also learned I won’t do that again.”

By now, Mahalia is used to being the centre of attention. A recent trip to Costco in Kelowna took three hours because of all the attention.

“It’s like the circus has come to town and we are the show. . . .

“People just whip out their phones and take their pictures and everyone wants to stop and see the girls.”

Mahlia said the first year has been a bit surreal.

“I look back to where we were and whoa, has life completely changed. It’s been crazy, but I see at them and go, ‘wow, look at those perfectly healthy, happy girls.’

“It’s amazing, really.”

The likelihood of conceiving triplets without the use of fertility drugs in one is 50 million.

School building upgrades are shaping up as a battleground for next year’s provincial election, with the B.C. Liberal government rolling out repair projects under its expanded “fix-it” fund and the NDP questioning if politics caused the cancellation of two seismic upgrade projects.

NDP leader John Horgan released freedom of information documents Wednesday related to the cancellation of seismic upgrades at Shoreline Middle School in Greater Victoria and Minnekhada Middle School in Port Coquitlam.

The schools

had been slated for upgrades, but projects were cancelled due to low capacity, with Shoreline projected to be 65 per cent full over the next five years.

Horgan pointed to recent announcements that rural schools in the Okanagan and Cariboo were being spared from closure, but two highrisk schools in bedrock NDP constituencies were not going ahead.

“Why is it that the government had money to sprinkle on their problems in Quesnel, sprinkle on their problems in Osoyoos, to sprinkle on their problems in Penticton, but they don’t have the money to protect children in Port Coquitlam and in Greater Victoria?”

Horgan said.

Education Minister Mike Bernier issued a statement rejecting Horgan’s criticism.

The Victoria school district has four other schools that are higher priorities for upgrades than Shoreline and the ministry and the Port Coquitlam district are working on final approval for Minnekhada, he said.

“The opposition leader must have missed the two

brand-new schools in his own riding or the fact that the largest seismic project in B.C. is the $106 million replacement of New Westminster Secondary,” Bernier said.

Premier Christy Clark announced seismic upgrades to 45 schools, including Minnekhada and Shoreline, a month before the 2013 election.

On Wednesday, the education ministry announced new non-seismic repairs to schools around the province, mostly plumbing, heating and roofing repairs.

In Kamloops, the only school to receive funds is Brocklehurst Middle School, which is getting $200,000 to upgrade flooring.

Taxman entitled to proceeds of crime CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Even criminals are required to hand over a piece of their profits to the taxman.

An Ontario tax lawyer said a recent decision by the Tax Court of Canada that required the operator of a grow-op to pay taxes based on revenues calculated by an expert is a well-understood area of law.

Robert Hole appealed a decision by the Minister of National Revenue to the

Tax Court of Canada. Justice David Graham determined the Clearwater resident did not declare several hundred thousand dollars in revenue from a marijuana grow as well as income from a logging business.

“It’s common knowledge, no matter what the activity, you have to pay your tax,” said lawyer Alex Klyguine.

“People should be aware Canada Revenue Agency [CRA] doesn’t distinguish between what is legal and illegal.”

A review of cases heard at the Tax Court of Canada shows people who have profited from both marijuana grow-ops and cocaine trafficking have been assessed tax penalties by CRA. The federal Liberal government is expected to introduce legislation next year to allow sale of recreational marijuana in a structured system.

While illegal growers may compete with legal sales, Klyguine said those blackmarket growers will face the

same tax penalties as today’s contraband farmers if they flout the law.

“I think they should expect the same treatment as today. . . . What matters is if it meets the definition of a business and if it’s a business, it’s going to be taxed.”

Marijuana growers also face the prospect in some cases of civil forfeiture by provincial authorities, who can seize assets including homes and vehicles even in the absence of a criminal conviction.

Are you ready for retirement community living?

Before you say “I’m not ready”, why not ask yourself “What is it that I’m not ready for?”

If you give yourself some time to think about this and you are really honest with your answers it might surprise you that you are actually ready.

Are you tired of grocery shopping and preparing meals?

Do you often think about your personal safety and security of your home?

Do you often feel alone or lonely? Would you like to have an active social life with like minded people?

Is maintaining your home becoming a burden rather than something you enjoy?

If you have answered yes to even one of these questions then perhaps you are ready! Once you’ve decided the time is now for a move you’ll need to do your research.

First, make your list of priorities to determine what type of community will be the best t for you. Then narrow the list of potential communities and schedule appointments for a visit.

It is so important to take your time when visiting each community.

Prepare a list of questions and you’re on your way!

Operation Red Nose is ready to celebrate 20 years in Kamloops.

The designated-driver program, in which drivers call to have their vehicle — and themselves — driven home will begin on Nov. 25 and run through New Year’s Eve. Those calling the service are asked to make a donation, with proceeds going to PacificSport and supporting amateur athletes in Kamloops.

Operation Red Nose will operate on Nov. 25 and Nov. 26 and in December on these dates: 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 26, 30 and 31. The service will operate between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m.

This year, the service will be offered on a few Thursdays, including Dec. 1, 8 and 15.

Last year, Operation Red Nose provided 1,211 safe rides over 10 nights of service and raised $30,863 in donations. Kamloops finished first in the province by providing the most rides out of the 13 host communities.

“The community of Kamloops has been amazing and has embraced Operation Red Nose since we brought it to the city in 1997,” said Carolynn Boomer, executive director of PacificSport and cofounder of the Kamloops Red Nose campaign.

Operation Red Nose sees drivers, like this volunteer, shuttle holiday revellers — and their vehicles — home from Christmastime parties.

“From all of our partners, sponsors and volunteers, right to the end client, it has been a win-win from saving lives to contributing to amateur sport locally.

“With the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio just concluding, we have hometown heroes, such as bronze medallist Catharine Pendrel as an inspiration to our youth and we are proud to be a small part in her journey.”

Quebec to hold inquiry into surveillance of journalists by police forces THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — As Quebec announced plans Thursday to hold an inquiry into freedom of the press and police surveillance of journalists, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said spying on reporters is not happening at the federal level.

The Quebec government said a public inquiry will be held against the backdrop of revelations that various forces monitored reporters’ phones for years.

A panel of experts that was announced earlier this week will have all the powers typically granted to a commission of inquiry, including being able to compel witnesses to testify, said Justice Minister Stephanie Vallee.

“We consider it’s important for the population of Quebec to trust their public institutions,’’ she said.

On Thursday, some of the reporters targeted by provincial police learned that authorities obtained years worth of phone logs.

Meanwhile, the

controversy reverberated in Ottawa, where Trudeau said monitoring of journalists does not take place.

Trudeau told reporters he immediately contacted RCMP and CSIS leadership after news broke about the Quebec surveillance.

“There is nothing of this sort happening at the federal level,’’ he said.

“We have actually very strong safeguards and protections in place to protect freedom of the press in the course of the business conducted by CSIS and the RCMP. “Not only is freedom of the press important, it’s one of the foundational safeguards of a free democracy, of a free society.’’

Quebec’s two largest police forces admitted this week to keeping tabs on the phones of several journalists in recent years in attempts to identify the source of information leaks.

On Wednesday, provincial police said they had obtained court warrants to monitor the phones of six journalists in 2013 in an effort to track down a

person alleged to have leaked sensitive wiretap information involving a prominent labour leader.

Yesterday, some of those reporters were contacted by police and told the scope of the monitoring went far beyond what they had thought.

Radio-Canada said police gained access in 2013 to phone records belonging to three senior journalists between November 2008 and October 2013.

That period coincided with reports by the CBC’s French-language network on numerous corruption- and construction-related probes.

Le Journal de Montreal said police obtained the phone log for one of its reporters between February 2009 and October 2013, while La Presse said police targeted two of their own journalists for six and 15 months respectively.

In an interview on Montreal radio station 98.5FM, provincial police director Martin Prud’homme said he’s asked lawyers to unseal the warrants to provide details about them.

Spying on journalists is not a method Prud’homme said he supports.

“I’m not OK with how we conducted this investigation,’’ he said.

“I think we could have done this investigation in a different way, without going after journalists’ telephone logs.’’

Premier Philippe Couillard’s decision to form the committee of experts followed revelations Montreal police kept tabs on the iPhone of a La Presse reporter.

The newspaper reported this week it had learned at least 24 surveillance warrants were issued for Patrick Lagace’s phone this year at the request of the police’s special investigations unit.

That section is responsible for looking into crime within the police force.

La Presse is going to court on Friday to put a seal on the data that was collected.

Also on Thursday, Montreal police said they monitored another reporter in 2014 in a case that was linked to an internal investigation.

That prompted some people, including Conservative MP Tony Clement, to say she should step down from her position pending an inquiry into her citizenship application.

But Trudeau said people shouldn’t be mixing Monsef’s story with those of people who have lied to get into the country.

Trudeau said that sometimes when people are fleeing

war — as in Monsef’s case — “there is not always perfect clarity on which side of the border one is born.’’

People should not mix those cases with “very deliberate acts of omission or dishonesty in trying to get Canadian citizenship through fraudulent declarations or attestations,’’ Trudeau said.

Man charged in Abbotsford school stabbing Students, staff grieving after random attack at B.C. high school

THE CANADIAN PRESS

ABBOTSFORD — Grade 9 student Amsuman Nair will remember the screams for the rest of his life.

The 14-year-old was in the middle of a math exam at his high school in Abbotsford when two girls were stabbed, one fatally, in the building’s front entrance — an attack police have characterized as random.

Nair and his classmates spent four hours on Tuesday afternoon crouched silently in the corner of a classroom after a school-wide lockdown

degree murder in the death of the 13-yearold student and aggravated assault in the attack on the 14-yearold.

“Evidence suggests this attack was random,’’ Pound said.

“We do not believe the suspect has ties to the school, to the two girls, or to the Abbotsford community.”

Police and school district officials said a barefoot man walked into Abbotsford Senior Secondary School on Tuesday and attacked the girls before staff confronted and restrained him.

While police

was declared over the intercom.

On Wednesday, he stood with his father outside the building, where a memorial of cards, flowers, notes and candles was growing.

“They used to be happy and always dancing around, having fun,’’ Nair said of his friends.

“But one of them is gone and it’s hard to believe.”

Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Gabriel Klein, a 21-year-old homeless man, has been charged with second-

that we keep our kids in and have lots of adult supervision. But there is nothing that would preclude any stranger from walking into school.” — Abbotsford school district Supt. Kevin Godden haven’t named the stabbing victim, several students have identified the girl who died as Letisha Reimer.

Grade 11 student Hannah Bartolome, who started the memorial, said she no longer feels safe in her school.

“It’s tragic,’’ she said, her eyes red and puffy.

“Before the alarms went off, all I heard was the screaming.’’

But Daniel Glencross, a 15-yearold who is also in Grade 11, said he feels “extraordinarily safe’’ at the school.

He praised the teachers for stepping in when they did, adding the situation could have been a lot worse were it not for them.

“They apprehended the guy and stopped this from being a rampage. “[Credit] to them,’’ Glencross said outside the school, which has been cordoned off with yellow police tape.

“I think the staff

did a tremendous job and they should get a medal for bravery or something.’’

Klein appeared in court on Wednesday and is expected to return for a hearing on Nov. 7.

Condolences poured in on social media including Letisha’s own Facebook page, while her father, Ulrich Reimer, updated his profile picture with a selfie of himself and his daughter by a river.

Police said they knew little about the accused, who has no criminal past and no fixed address.

Pound said it’s believed Klein was from Alberta and she made a plea to anyone who may know him to call police.

“Until we can learn a little bit more on who this individual is, we’re not going to have a definitive [answer] on what that motive looks like.’’

Pound said the selfless actions of school staff who confronted

the man likely prevented more people from being injured.

Abbotsford school district Supt. Kevin Godden also praised the school’s staff for their actions.

“What I will say was, in the middle of this horrific situation, they stopped this individual, first by just yelling at him and then the staff converged on him and got him,’’ Godden said.

“The knife fell from his hands and they got him to take a seat while they held him in some restraint and then provided first aid to the students, who were obviously hurt.’’

Every school in the Abbotsford district locked all but one door on Wednesday, in what Godden called a precautionary measure.

A video of the stabbing has been circulating on the Internet and Godden asked for people to stop sharing it, a sentiment echoed by police.

The video, apparently taken from the

second floor overlooking the school’s atrium, shows a man in a grey T-shirt standing over a girl and frantically stabbing at her as she screams on the floor.

A person in an apron then approaches the man, who suddenly drops his weapon and backs away.

Godden said there was nothing to stop the man from walking into the school.

“Our schools are closed campuses to the extent that we keep our kids in and have lots of adult supervision,’’ he said.

“But there is nothing that would preclude any stranger from walking into school.’’

Premier Christy Clark offered her condolences to the families of the victims at a news conference, saying she was shocked by the incident.

“Schools are very safe places in British Columbia, but the fact that this kind of thing can happen ruptures our sense of security.’’

Falling costs allow Canadian Natural to restart stalled oilsands project THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) is hitting the restart button on a thermal oilsands project it suspended nearly two years ago, counting on lower costs to shave $100 million from the original $1.45-billion price tag.

The Calgarybased company said Thursday it will move ahead with the halfbuilt 40,000-barrelper-day Kirby North project, starting with a $28-million engineering and procurement budget in 2017 that will focus on finding construction cost savings.

The project is the first new facility in the oilsands industry to be officially sanctioned since crude prices fell below US$100 per barrel in mid-2014 and

was approved despite oil prices that have changed little since it was put on the shelf in January 2015.

“We’ve driven down costs — as a result, we’re now moving ahead with a 40,000-barrel-per-day Kirby North SAGD project, with first steam in Q3 2019 and first oil in Q1 2020,’’ said president Steve Laut on a conference call with analysts.

“In a $45 [oil price] world, Kirby North creates value for shareholders.’’

The company said it had spent about $700 million on the project before it was halted and expects to spend $650 million more for a total of $1.35 billion.

The project uses industry standard steam-assisted gravity drainage or SAGD

technology, where steam is injected into a horizontal well to melt the sticky bitumen and allow it to drain into a lower parallel well to be pumped to surface.

Kirby North was put on the shelf in 2015 as Canadian Natural reduced its spending budget for the year by $2.4 billion in view of benchmark New York oil prices that had fallen to about US$46 per barrel — close to current prices.

Analysts expect other stalled oilsands projects to be restarted soon.

Last week, Cenovus Energy (TSX:CVE) CEO Brian Ferguson said the company has asked contractors to re-submit bids for work on a 50,000-bpd expansion of its Christina Lake SAGD oilsands project that was put on hold in

late 2014.

He said the company will provide information on when or if the project will be restarted when it releases its 2017 budget plan next month.

Canadian Natural’s capital spending commitments have been falling as it completes expansion phases at its Horizon mining and upgrading facility just north of Fort McMurray, Alta.

During the third quarter, it tied in major components of its 45,000-bpd Phase 2B expansion.

It plans to spend $1 billion to complete Phase 3 by late 2017, adding another 80,000 bpd for total facility capacity of 250,000 bpd of upgraded crude oil.

for an extra week was blamed in part for third-quarter production and earnings that missed analyst expectations.

Overall production fell to 735,000 barrels of oil equivalents per day from 849,000 in the third quarter of 2015.

Canadian Natural announced Thursday a nine per cent quarterly dividend increase to 25 cents per common share starting Jan. 1.

Laut said the company had spent $120 million on “small, tuck-in property acquisitions’’ in core areas during the third quarter in part because of its confidence in higher oil and gas prices going forward.

The company increased its 2016 capital spending budget from a midpoint of $3.7 billion to $4.4 billion.

Canadian Natural posted a net loss of $326 million or 29 cents per diluted share in the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with the yearearlier loss of $111 million or 10 cents per diluted share.

Product sales in the quarter totalled nearly $2.48 billion, down

from almost $3.32 billion in the same quarter last year.

Its adjusted loss from operations rose to $355 million or 32 cents per diluted share in the quarter, versus an adjusted profit of $113 million or 10 cents per diluted share in the year-earlier period.

WILL THEY DON THE MAPLE LEAF? ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Deven Sideroff and the Kamloops Blazers were upended in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Lethbridge Hurricanes at Sandman Centre on Wednesday. For the game story, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. Sideroff and Blazers’ goaltender Connor Ingram spoke to KTW about their quests to crack Team Canada’s roster for the World Junior Hockey Championship.

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

t’s been tough to drag a whole lot out of Connor Ingram when it comes to the World Junior Hockey Championship.

The 19-year-old Kamloops Blazers’ netminder from Imperial, Sask., has been saying all the right things, going deep into the book of hockey-speak to pull out gems like, “Hockey’s hockey and you can only take it one game at a time,” and, “I can just do what I can and they’ll do what they do.”

It’s an obvious form of mental discipline — and it’s working.

His save percentage of .936 is tops in the WHL. He’s not focused on achieving his childhood dream.

He’s homed in on tonight’s game against the Medicine Hat Tigers.

Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre.

But behind the mask, in weaker mental moments, Ingram’s thoughts must wander to the CIBC Canada-Russia Series, which begins on Monday in Prince George, and to the national junior team’s selection camp, to be held from Dec. 11 to Dec. 14 in Blainville, Que, and, finally, to Boxing Day in Toronto, when Canada begins its chase for gold at the world juniors against the Russians.

Ingram and Deven Sideroff, a 19-year-old forward from Summerland, are aiming to become the first Blazers’ team-

mates to play together for Canada at the world juniors since Scottie Upshall and Jared Aulin did it in 2002.

Sideroff isn’t quite as hesitant to address the topic.

“It’s huge and the CanadaRussia series is just the next step to world juniors,” Sideroff said.

“There are lots of eyes on you, a lot of eyes both games, so I’ve got to play my best.

“It’d be huge for my family. We used to all get together and watch on Boxing Day. It’d be a dream.”

Russia is bringing many of its best junior players to face off against Canadian Hockey League all-star teams in the showcase series that doubles as a proving ground for Team Canada hopefuls.

Game 1 in Prince George on Monday and Game 2 in Edmonton on Tuesday pit Team WHL vs.

Russia, before it moves east for Games 2 and 3 against the Ontario Hockey League and Games 5 and

6 against the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

Ingram and Everett Silvertips’ goaltender Carter Hart are expected to play one game each for Team WHL, while Sideroff will feature in both contests.

Sideroff was a late addition to Team WHL’s roster last year, along with Blazers’ teammate Collin Shirley. He registered a goal in a 4-2 victory over the Russians in Game 2 in Kamloops.

“I learned a lot from that experience,” said Sideroff, a lightningquick right-winger. “There are lots of guys that were there who are in the NHL now. I’m going to bring everything I’ve learned from that into this year.”

Both Ingram and Sideroff have been all over Hockey Canada’s radar.

Ingram was at the national organization’s Program of Excellence Goaltending Camp in Calgary in June, attended Canada’s

National Junior Team SportChek Summer Development Camp from July 30 to Aug. 2 in Toronto and represented the nation in a four-game series against the U.S., Sweden and Finland from Aug. 3 to Aug. 6 in Plymouth, Mich.

Sideroff was also at the summer development camp in Toronto and he donned the Maple Leaf at the 2015 Under-18 World Championships in Switzerland.

Fred Brathwaite, Hockey Canada’s goaltending consultant, has had ample opportunity to watch Ingram play over the last few months, as he travelled across the country doing final homework on the nation’s best backstops.

“We really like him [Ingram] for Team Canada,” Brathwaite told KTW. “He looks like he’s never really that frustrated. He’s a guy who can always make the big save at the right time and that’s something we want to see.”

Ingram set a new Blazers’ franchise record in 2015-2016 with a .922 save percentage, displacing Corey Hirsch, who was atop the list with a .920 mark in 1991-1992.

He played 13 more games and stopped 409 more shots than Hirsch.

The 6-foot-1, 202pound goalie was selected 88th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning at the NHL Draft in June.

Sideroff had a much bigger mountain to climb to impress Team Canada brass than Ingram heading into the first half of the 2016-2017 WHL season, as his performance and

they will become the first players from their respective hometowns to accomplish the feat.

Team Canada head coach Dominique Ducharme’s staff includes assistant coach Kris Knoblauch, who, like Ingram, is from Imperial.

Two Team Canada members from the southern Saskatchewan metropolis? Could it be?

Ingram did admit that would be pretty cool. Then he remembered the Tigers are in town tonight.

“The chances of having two guys from a town of 300 . . . it’s pretty unreal,” Ingram said. “But it’s still a long ways away.”

Thompson Rivers finished the pre-season 2-2, with both its losses coming in overtime. Clark said those results bode well for the season ahead.

“I think we’ve gotten better,” he said.

“There’s a lot of new faces, so you’re trying to integrate new faces and you’re trying to teach your system, teach a lot of things. I think there’s been growth. I’ve been happy with the fellas, even though I’m probably a little hard on them sometimes.

“It obviously brings our standards up a bit higher, because we want to repeat our previous successes, but we’re a brand new team and we’re trying to do what our best is.”

The Wolves will get the regular season underway this weekend, at the Tournament Capital Centre to face the UBC Thunderbirds today and tomorrow. Tipoff is 8 p.m. today and 7 p.m. tomorrow.

Morris said he expected the T-Birds to bring a physical game to Kamloops, to try and intimidate. “That’s just UBC and we have to handle that,” he said.

A year removed from their debut in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championship, it seems expectations have been raised for the Thompson Rivers WolfPack.

“Of course. They should be,” said Volodymyr Iegorov, the 6-foot-7 forward who was fourth in the Canada West in points per game last season (18.4).

“It should be higher expectations every year. It’s the essence of the whole program and TRU basketball. If you look back to 2010, when coach [Scott] Clark became the head coach, you can see the progress every year.”

The 2015-2016 season was the most successful in the history of the men’s basketball program at TRU. The Pack lost in the final of the Canada West Final Four against the Calgary Dinos, taking silver at the conference tournament and making their first trip to what was then the CIS national championship.

The Wolves went winless in the national tournament, but it was yet another step in the progression of the program, which was 4-20 in its first season with Clark at the helm and has improved every year since.

Speaking with KTW about expectations for the season, Clark said he would be focused on his club’s process rather than trying to top the results of last season.

“You’re talking about a destination. I’m talking about a journey,” the seven-year head coach said.

“We don’t really have any control over where things finish.

It sounds stupid, but what we do have control over is our work ethic, our preparation, how we conduct ourselves. That’s what we have to focus on and we’ll see where that takes us.”

Though the WolfPack lost three players to graduation last year — including starting point guard Reese Pribilsky and leading scorer Josh Wolfram — Clark said the Pack’s depth, though younger, is actually improved for the new campaign.

Imports Derek Rhodes and Maalik Hazziez will be expected to come in and be impactful players in their first seasons with Thompson Rivers, while returners like Jeff Tubbs, Joe Davis, Mike Rouault and Luke Morris will be expected to up their games.

“I think guys are stepping up,” Morris said.

He, too, said the WolfPack was putting little emphasis on a need to return to what is now known as the U Sports national championship.

STORM SHUFFLE DECK WITH TRADES ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Barry Dewar said there’s no panic amongst the Kamloops Storm’s brass, despite a flurry of trades to open November.

The Storm confirmed on Wednesday four deals had been finalized with clubs around B.C., making for an on-the-fly roster adjustment a third of the way through the season.

“It usually happens at this time of the year,” the general manager said.

“I’m definitely not panicked. I would like to find one or two other guys. We’ve got a couple that we still think are going to come back to us, probably, in January and that will solidify us well.”

Among the club’s first moves was to release 18-year-old goaltender Josh Tetlichi, bringing in Kamloops product and former Sicamous Eagle Kolby Pauwels.

Defenceman Taylor Redmond was sent to the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League’s Saanich Braves in exchange for defender Rowan Lougheed, while forward Austin McKean was shipped to the Castlegar Rebels for future considerations.

might not work out as Kamloops had initially hoped.

“He’s contemplating his career and may or may not report,” Dewar said of Meyer.

Despite remaking almost a fifth of his team’s roster in a day, Dewar said management is generally happy with the Storm’s play to this point in the season. They’re 6-7-1-2 on the season and third in the Doug Birks Division, behind the Chase Heat (11-4-0-0) and the 100 Mile House

Wranglers (9-4-0-1).

“I think the moves that we’ve made, they’re going to be a work in progress,” Dewar said.

“I think we’re going to be very good. I’m very happy with our team.

We’re learning a lot, we’re getting better every game.”

This weekend, Kamloops will return to Sicamous, where it last week gave the Eagles their first win of the season, allowing the club to snap its 14-game losing skid with an

8-7 overtime decision.

But, even in that contest, Dewar said his team showed resiliency and a desire to get better.

“We were down 6-1,” he said. “Usually, with a young team, they quit.

They go, ‘How do we get out from a 6-1 lead?’

“They didn’t. They just battled back. They played awesome.”

The Storm will return to Memorial Arena tomorrow evening to face the Princeton Posse (5-10-0-2). Puck drop is slated for 7:35 p.m.

Lobay leads Pack The Thompson Rivers WolfPack had a strong showing at the B.C. Cross Country Championships in Nanaimo on the weekend, led by sophomore runner Rachel Lobay.

Thompson Rivers had 10 athletes at the provincial championship, an event that included the top junior (18and 19-year-olds), senior (20plus) and masters (40-plus) athletes. The field included a number of current and former Olympians, along with World Youth and World Junior competitors.

Lobay was the lone WolfPack racer to finish in the top 50 of the event, crossing the line of the six-kilometre women’s race 31st in a time of 23 minutes and one second.

“Last year, Rachel was the seventh rookie in the CIS nationals and placed 63rd overall,” WolfPack head coach Carmin Mazzotta said.

“She looks set to do that again this year as she was in the mix with the top university runners in B.C., who are some of the best in Canada.

Behind Lobay, Zoe Painter finished 51st in a time of 25:01. Alesha Miller (52nd, 25:11), Dina Mueller (55th, 26:21) and Christa Miller (57th, 26:43) rounded out the WolfPack contingent.

In the men’s eight-kilometre race, Brennen Smith was the top Thompson Rivers competitor, finishing 54th in a time of 27:24. He was threetenths of a second better than Conlan Sprickerhoff (56th, 27:24). Liam McGrath finished 72nd with a time of 28:37.

“Brennen Smith, Conlan Sprickerhoff and Liam

McGrath all got in a bit over their heads in the early going,” Mazzotta said.

“Conlan was in spitting distance of a Rio Olympian 2K into an 8K race and I knew he’d put himself in a bit of a hole at that point. All three athletes went backwards over the middle part of the race, but pulled it together with strong efforts over the last 2K.” Thompson Rivers runners Nik Rampen (76th, 29:26) and Nelson Kleer (79th, 30:08) rounded out the contingent.

The top WolfPack athletes will head to the U Sports Cross-Country Championships in Laval, Que., on Nov. 12. The roster travelling to the event will be determined this week.

“I was really proud of both of our teams,” Mazzotta said.

“We are still an emerging university squad and we’ve had some unfortunate things happen this year.”

Meanwhile, at the Larry Nichols Memorial Race in Kelowna, three WolfPack runners ran the 4K. Emily Atherton finished in 15:13, while Sarah Manhard crossed the line in 16:21. Erica Johnson had a time of 15:23.

In the 9K, Marcus Allen finished 31:31, while Trine Flecks was second in the female category with a time of 40:04. oh hey, you’re looking for the legal, right?

Lion picks up award TORONTO — Edmonton Eskimos running back John White and quarterback Mike Reilly and BC Lions receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux were named the CFL’s top performers for the month of October yesterday.

White accumulated an average of 7.1 yards per carry in the month of October to help the Eskimos go 3-1 and earn their way into the playoffs.

In those four October games White rushed for 457 yards, scoring five touchdowns on the ground and adding 14 receptions for 91 yards.

White has rushed for 886 yards on 164 carries (5.4 yards per rush) and has scored

eight rushing touchdowns in his third CFL season. He has also displayed his pass-catching skills, hauling in a career-high 58 receptions for 464 yards.

In his five October games, Arceneaux amassed 430 receiving yards, four touchdowns, and 28 completions.

The CFL’s top touchdown receiver continued his standout year, with strong performances to keep BC in the hunt for a home playoff game.

Arceneaux leads CFL receivers in receiving touchdowns with 11.

He is third in receiving yards with 1,386 and fifth in caught receptions with 95.

Reilly, the league’s leading passer contin-

In the four weeks of games, Reilly scored three rushing touchdowns.

This season, Reilly leads the league in passing with 5,554 yards. He has 448 completions for first place in the CFL, and is second in touchdown passes with 28.

Members of the Rocky Mountain Rangers rappelled from the rafters at Sandman Centre, where the Kamloops Blazers held a military appreciation night on Wednesday. The loudest ovation of the pre-game ceremony was reserved for 94-year-old Joe Pringle, a member of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion.

Pringle, who landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944, dropped the rubber for the ceremonial faceoff. There were about 500 veterans and active military, including family members, in attendance, thanks to Blazers’ sponsors Inland Glass and Aluminum, Arrow Transportation Systems Inc., Pitts Enterprises and the Kamloops Indian Band. Two fighter jets based in Cold Lake, Alta., flew over Kamloops at 4 p.m. The Blazers wore camouflage jerseys that are being auctioned off, with donations going toward the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund.

OF THE MONTH!

Kevan Ramsden

How and why did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters?

I actually started with the Bluebird Fund Foundation, which is a snowboarding program affiliated with Big Brothers Big Sisters. I was matched with a Little Brother who I met every two weeks to snowboard with up at Sun Peaks Resort. I became involved with the Community Based program after because I had such a blast shredding the slopes with my Lil’ Bro. What do you enjoy about the Big Brother Program?

I honestly enjoy the fact that I have the opportunity to make a positive impact on a younger person’s life. We also do rad stuff… I enjoy doing rad things.

How is this relationship fitting into your life?

We do activities like snowboarding, mountain biking, golf, rock climbing, bowling, going to the movies, ect. This relationship fits great because we have similar interests and enjoy being active; therefore, I can help out my community and have an awesome time while doing it.

Chicago Cubs fans “Fly the W” at Wrigley Field. The club won its first World Series in 108 years on Wednesday.

JONATHAN LURIE PHOTO

Cubs fans keep the faith TIM DAHLBERG

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

They’ll relive the game for generations, these Cubs fans, talking about the magical night in Cleveland when the skies opened up and the curse of the Billy Goat was buried once and for all.

Somewhere along the way, the stories will be embellished — as if that is even possible. Joe Maddon will be hailed as the greatest manager ever, and Aroldis Chapman will be remembered more for the W attached to his name in the box score than how he actually ended up being the winning pitcher of a Game 7 that was as thrilling as it was flawed.

They might even make a movie out of it, though they’ll have to write a new script. The way it all went down was too corny, too implausible for even Hollywood to believe.

The manager who led the Cubs to the promised land seemed to be trying his best to extend the curse rather than finally putting it to rest. Not once, but twice, Maddon took his best pitchers out of the game just when they seemed to be cruising and almost paid for it dearly.

The closer he seemingly couldn’t wait to put in every game of this World Series was ripe for the picking, and that was Maddon’s fault, too. He didn’t trust his bullpen and was determined to ride Chapman even when he was clearly a thoroughbred who had been ridden too hard.

That it all turned out fine will be all that will be remembered, not that a pitcher who had never saved a game in his career was on the mound with the weight of the city of Chicago on his shoulders as he tried to get the final out.

That the Cubs are the World Series champions for the first time in 108 years will be all anyone wants to talk about, not the fact the Cubs were up by three runs and needed only four more outs

before Chapman imploded and they seemed cursed yet again.

“Another team might have folded,’’ Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. “And they didn’t.’’

Give some of the credit to an intervention from above, when the baseball gods finally decided the Cubs had suffered enough and interrupted the game just as it was going into the 10th inning.

It wasn’t a long rain delay, far from it, but just long enough for the players to gather in the strength room and listen to outfielder Jason Heyward tell them they had come too far to get too down at this point.

“The best rain delay of all time,’’ Anthony Rizzo said.

Give some credit, too, to Kyle Schwarber capping the most improbable post-season ever by leading off the 10th with a base hit. Don’t forget Ben Zobrist, either, and the double that would give the Cubs a lead and make him an equally improbable World Series MVP. But it was the manager who encouraged them to dress up in Halloween costumes on the flight to Cleveland who brought them to that point. It was the manager who scoffed at the idea of a curse and got his players to be aggressive early in the deciding games because he didn’t want to face the Cleveland bullpen from behind.

Yes, the same manager who pulled both Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lester too early because, well, just because.

Had the Indians managed to scratch across the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning, Maddon would have taken his place in the Cubs’ Hall of Shame, probably alongside Steve Bartman, the unfortunate Cubs fan who until Thursday morning had been unable to shake the blame for the Cubs losing in the 2003 playoffs.

Instead, he’s the first Cubs manager in more than a century to hoist the World Series trophy aloft. That’s enough to secure his legacy alone, though he’d prefer

not to go down in baseball lore as a curse buster.

Like superfan Bill Murray, he ain’t afraid of no goat.

“It has nothing to do with curses, superstition,’’ Maddon said. “If you want to believe in that kind of stuff, it’s going to hold you back for a long time.

“I love tradition. I think tradition is worth time mentally and tradition is worth being upheld.

But curses and superstitions are not.’’

Tell that to long-suffering Cubs fans, thousands of whom made their way to cheer loudly in Cleveland, and millions more who jumped on the bandwagon late. The Cubs were such a great story that baseball got television ratings not seen since before the steroid era for the World Series and anyone who watched Game 7 in its entirety has to be a baseball fan for life.

It was 108 years in the making and it was epic. The Cubs and Indians made a divided country feel better about itself and the sight of thousands in the streets outside both ballparks made a lot of people feel better about the game of baseball.

The Cubs are no longer lovable losers and that will take some getting used to. So will the expectations for future seasons with a team built for success and a manager comfortable with making whatever decisions he thinks are right to get them there.

“I’m really proud of the attitude, the culture that we’ve created,’’ Maddon said. “I think it’s something that carries for many, many years to come. Just like in the past, not having won a World Series trophy in 108 years, this is a breakthrough year. So now that standard of excellence can be carried through for many years to come.’’

The goat is gone and they’re singing in the streets of Chicago.

As if that somehow isn’t good enough, the “W’’ flags could be flying at Wrigley Field for quite some time.

Who would you recommend this program to?

Anyone who wants to make a difference in their community, enjoys being active, and likes having fun. Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is fun. Bottom line.

Why do you think someone should volunteer in this program?

I can say first hand that males tend to get caught up in their ultra ‘cool’ lives and overlook the impact that they can have on their communities.

You don’t need any divine wisdom to be Big Brother. It will amaze you the positive impact you have on your Lil Bro’s life by just doing activities you already enjoy doing.

Pro-life demonstrators only voice for unborn

F

rom 1912 to 1991, Oakalla was the maximumsecurity prison in B.C. Someone I knew spent two weeks there awaiting bail.

His crime? Holding a sign that said “Thou shalt not kill” outside an abortion clinic.

His name was Don Spratt and he told me this story.

When he was arraigned, he was placed on the second floor of Oakalla, where the most hardened criminals including murderers and gangsters were housed.

At the time of his remand into custody, no cells were available on the upper floors of the jail, where the petty criminals were usually placed.

Soon after he arrived, the local gang leader, called The Egyptian, surrounded him with his posse of

CHRIS KEMPLING

You gotta have

FAITH

goons and demanded to know who he was and why he was there.

Don told him he was a pro-lifer holding a sign.

The Egyptian laughed and said, “Well preacher man, now I’ve seen everything.”

He turned to his gangsters and said, “Listen up — no one touches the preacher, understand?”

The Egyptian told Don privately he was from a Coptic Christian family, but had got caught up in gang life and was doing hard

time for dealing heroin among other crimes.

A few days later, Don was transferred to one of the upper floors.

He was spending a fair amount of time on the only phone trying to arrange his bail and several punk criminals started threatening him for hogging the phone.

Fearing for his safety, he requested the guards transfer him back downstairs.

They did so and, when he arrived, the Egyptian demanded to know why he was back.

Don told him about the threats and The Egyptian said, “You leave them to me.”

At Oakalla, prisoners ate in a common hall. When the punks came in for lunch, the Egyptian was there, backed by his huge thugs.

He put his finger in the face of the primary culprit and said, “You don’t touch the preacher. You don’t talk

to the preacher. You don’t even look at the preacher.”

Don said the remainder of his stay at Oakalla was relatively pleasant.

Don’s time in jail for a pro-life demonstration was short compared to another protester who has taken civil disobedience to a whole new level.

Linda Gibbons, a 68-year-old grandmother from Ontario, has spent over 10 years behind bars.

She has never been violent or harmed anyone or resisted arrest, but repeatedly violates “bubble zone” laws by wearing a sign saying “Why, Mom? When I have so much to give” outside abortion clinics.

Gibbons has been incarcerated longer than most murderers.

She is Canada’s long-serving prisoner of conscience.

So why are some Christians like Spratt

and Gibbons willing to surrender freedom for the unborn?

There are Christians who believe we become human at the moment of conception.

Therefore, they consider it evil to kill an innocent human being because it is inconvenient or has a disability.

Holy Scripture recognizes our existence before conception.

To the prophet Jeremiah, God declared, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.”

The Psalmist writes, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”

A fetus is not a blob of tissue.

There are two universally recognized signs of human life: brain activity and a beating heart.

The heart begins beating in the fourth week of gestation and measurable brain

waves come at eight weeks.

The unborn can hear, learn and remember.

Research has proven newborns recognize music played when they were in utero.

An unborn baby is a person but in Canada, it is a person who has no legal rights whatsoever.

A fetus can be legally aborted in this country up to the moment before labour starts.

We are the only country in the Western world with no law protecting the unborn (most European countries forbid abortion sometime during the second trimester).

When the Supreme Court struck down the abortion law in 1988, it didn’t say we couldn’t have a law restricting abortion.

But no political party has been willing to enact even the most minimal protection for the unborn.

A case in Ontario saw parents aborting one of two twins because having two babies at once didn’t fit their lifestyle.

One baby was aborted for having a cleft palate, the most minor of birth defects.

Female fetuses are often aborted just for being female — I find it tragically ironic feminists will not support legislation to prohibit this reprehensible destruction of baby girls.

Abortion is controversial, but the unborn deserve at least some legal protection.

Pro-life demonstrators are their only voice.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN File # 277-471-17/22

The purpose of the PMP is to ensure effective and safe vegetation and invasive (noxious) weed control within an integrated pest management program on Pembina’s right-of-way, facilities and access roads on private and crown land within the north and central regions of B.C. This plan covers activities within the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality, Peace River, Fraser-Fort George, Cariboo, and the Thompson-Nicola Regional Districts. Some facilities may be in proximity to communities such as Fort St. John, Chetwynd, Prince George, Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Kamloops and other communities in those regions. The company currently has an IPMP program in place; this update is only an extension of the current program and practices.

Under Pembina’s PMP, a combination of selectively applied techniques will be used, including: Preventive – minimizing soil disturbance, assessment and early recognition of vegetation problems.

Mechanical and Manual – hand pulling, weeding, mowing, brushing, slashing and manual cutting. Herbicide Application – ground applied spraying, spot treatment, ground boom application, backpacks, ATV and truck mounted sprayers. Herbicides proposed for use include: Vantage XRT (glyphosate), Tordon 22K (picloram), Clearview (Aminopyralid/Metsulfuron-methyl), Garlon 4 (triclopyr), Lontrel 360 (clopyralid), Karmex DF (Diuron), 2,4-D Amine 500 (phenoxyacetic compounds, 2,4-D), MCPA Amine (dimethyl amine), Esplanade (Indaziflam), Truvist (Chlorsulfuron/Aminocyclopyrachlor), Navius VM (Aminocyclopyrachlor), Overdrive (Diflunfenzopyr/dicamba), Arsenal (Imazapyr), Sightline (Fluroxypyr).

The proposed effective term of this IPMP is from March 2, 2017 to March 1, 2022.

The proposed IPMP, diagrams or map(s) may be viewed by contacting and making an appointment with the agent listed below: AGENT: E-Qwest Consulting 2579 Sylvia Road Lake Country, BC V4V 2R8 Phone: 250-766-2677 e-qwest@shaw.ca

Obituaries & In Memoriam Tony Nigro

ERIC JAMES BROWN

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Tony Nigro on October 30, 2016, a life well lived at the age of 92.

It is with great sadness that the family of Eric Brown announces his peaceful passing on Monday, October 31, 2016 at Royal Inland Hospital after a brief battle with lung cancer.

Tony is survived by his wife Aurora, his son Charlie, daughter Rose (Frank) and his two grandsons Maurizio and Antonio Saccomanno. He also leaves behind his nieces Teresina Petretti, Rose Rende, Franca Crasti, his sister-in-law, Maria Sicoli and many cousins, relatives, friends and longtime acquaintances.

In Loving Memory of

Eric was born in Kamloops on May 9, 1952, the 2nd of 3 children born to Andy & Barbara Brown. Eric grew up in Kamloops and continued to make it his home his entire life.

Eric began working at Brown’s Repair Shop, the family business, in 1969. He proudly took ownership of the business, which has been in the family since 1922, upon his father’s retirement. Eric and his wife Shirley enjoyed camping and exploring in their motorhome, with their menagerie of animals, as well as many summers at Shuswap Lake. Eric was an avid reader! In the last few years he rediscovered his love of motorcycles and took great pleasure in riding to visit family and friends.

His most recent adventures were to Gabriola Island to visit his daughter and granddaughters where he purchased a lovely property to enjoy future retirement.

Tony was predeceased by his father and mother Pasquale and Rosina, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Fiore and Luisa Sicoli, his sister Sarina Cuzzetto and his niece Marisa Malakoff.

Tony was born in Grimaldi, Cosenza, Italy on June 1, 1924. He came to Canada in December of 1949 and worked on the railroad for a short time, but his true passion for welding soon took over. He opened up his own welding shop on Tranquille Road in 1956. Over this period of time, Tony saw the landscape of North Kamloops change, but the welding shop remained the same. To many in the Italian community, he became known simply as “Mastro” (teacher) for his creativity of all things iron. Over the last few years the “shop” was more of a meeting place than a workplace. For old friends and new, those who visited on a daily, weekly or occasional basis, it served its purpose well. Stories were told, opinions were shared and as memories grew shorter, the tales seemed to grow longer, however, everyone left as if all the world’s problems had been solved.

Eric is survived by his daughter Dianna Bonder and granddaughters Ekko and Nico Bonder. They were the absolute highlight of Eric’s life and he was extremely proud of them. He is also survived by his sister Elaine (Roger) Parkes of Kamloops, his brother Allan (Nancy) Brown of Calgary and their children Jared & Erin Brown, as well as relatives too numerous to mention. Eric was predeceased by his wife Shirley and his parents Andy and Barbara. Eric will also be dearly missed by the staff of Brown’s Repair Shop: Kim, Brenda, Tom and Mack. The family would like to thank the dedicated staff of Brown’s Repair Shop who will continue to support the Kamloops community.

He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him and will forever remain in our hearts.

The family would also like to thank the wonderful staff of 7N for the excellent care they provided for Eric.

Prayer Service will held at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, November 6, 2016 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC and the Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 2:00 p.m. Monday, November 7, 2016 at the church, with the Reverend Father Paul Simms officiating. Interment will be at the Hillside Cemetery followed by refreshments in the OLPH Parish Hall.

Please join the family on Saturday, November 5, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. in the Parkside Room at the Sandman Centre, 300 Lorne St, Kamloops for a CELEBRATION of Eric’s life.

Eric battled several cancers in his last few years, so in lieu of flowers the family would like donations to be made in his name to the Canadian Cancer Society or to the charity of their choosing.

MARIE ROSS (ROSITCH)

July 10, 1918 – October 26, 2016 Aunty Marie passed away peacefully at Pine Grove Care Centre, Kamloops at the age of 98. Born in Marysburg, Sask., she was the 4th of 14 children born to Frank and Barbara Rositch. She was raised on the farm, attended school to grade 8, worked at home and homes of others in the area before venturing out to Kamloops in the late ‘30s.

She worked in retail and in Vancouver prior to obtaining her Practical Nursing Diploma through the Vancouver Vocational Institute in 1956. She spent a number of years working in hospitals in the Lower Mainland and coastal areas of BC before moving to Orange, California where she worked for many years at Children’s Hospital. Her skilled caregiving and love for her young patients was much appreciated by their families. After retiring, Marie relocated to the Wenatchee, Wash. area, then back to Kamloops, on to Penticton for awhile, and finally settled in Kamloops remaining here until her passing.

A fiercely independent woman, she mastered the public transportation system wherever she lived, never owned a vehicle or had a driver’s license, walked when buses weren’t available and managed to get wherever she wanted to go. She was a skilled seamstress, loved swimming, travelling and exploring, especially in California, and enjoyed her trips to Hawaii immensely.

Many of us recall trips to visit Aunty Marie in Orange and the great adventures going with her to Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, the desert and so many interesting places thereabouts.

Marie changed her surname from Rositch to Ross in 1958.

She never married and had no children, but she had her very large extended family, and was always part of family events and occasions until it became physically impossible for her to participate anymore. Much as she did not want to be the last of her siblings to pass, she outlived them all by more than 10 years. She accepted this in her quiet way, but we know how much she missed them all. Therefore, we joyously celebrate her passing in the sure knowledge she is where she longed to be – in heaven with all those who were waiting for her with open arms.

1945 - 2010

I look back on memories I forgot I had, And at times you’ll smile even though it hurts so bad.

My mom is a special woman and no one can take her place.

Love You Mom Rob

Paul Simms officiating. Interment will be at the Hillside Cemetery.

We extend our sincere thank you to all the wonderful staff at Pine Grove – you are loving, caring angels and Aunty Marie was so blessed and grateful for your kindness to her during these past 15 months. We also thank all the staff of Chartwell (Renaissance) where Marie lived for 9 years before Pine Grove. You, too, showed her such love and she had a good life there. A very special thank you to Dr. Mavis Hollman for all you did for and on behalf of Aunty Marie. We consider you to be one of our family.

Donations can be made in Aunty Marie’s name to Our Lady of Perpetual Help School, St. Ann’s Academy or The Canadian Diabetes Association. Flowers gratefully declined.

Predeceased by parents John and Emily McGill, wife Kay (Kamloops), son Danny (Sicamous), half-brother Orlie McGill (Oklahoma), half-sister Reland Plumb, niece Doreen Potts (Mission) and brother-in-law Rod Langstaff (Creston).

Dad was born in Veteran, AB on June 26, 1927 and journeyed with his family to Alder Flats, AB to farm. A firm believer in hard work, he later found himself in the logging industry working at sawmills and logging camps where he met and married the camp cook, Kay. Together they settled in Sicamous where dad played an active part in fighting forest fires in the Shuswap area and in reforestation programs including tree planting. He often went back to check on his ‘charges’ to see how they were growing. Fishing was also a passion with dad and he sure knew where the ‘big fish’ hung out in Shuswap Lake. We were often treated to his smoked, pickled and just plain delicious Kamloops and Grey trout.

After a move to Kamloops to be closer to Kay (Overlander Extended Care), Dad loved long walks in the downtown core and clocked enough kilometres to cross Canada and back. Often he would pick up an empty bottle or two and became a regular at General Grants; first in the morning line with his lot all counted and clean.

A quiet, unassuming man, he liked to read the bible and loved Psalms 37:11, the promise of an earthly paradise of peace. Until we see you there Dad, love you so much!

Many thanks for your awesome support Dr. Tracey Smillie. You helped us at every turn in the road. Thanks to Dr. Faddegon, Paul Palmer (KFH), staff (special thanks, Serena) and residents (puzzle-room friends, best bud, Bud T.) of Riverbend Manor.

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.

A Memorial Service will be held at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive on Sunday, November 6, 2016 at 1:00 PM. Following the Memorial, and at Leslie’s insistence, there will be a joyful Celebration of Life at the Brock Activity Center at 2:00 pm, 1800 Tranquille Rd. (located in Brock Shopping Center).

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Kamloops Chapter of the MS Society in Leslie’s name.

Leslie never let her mobility slow her down from enjoying the things she

It is with profound sadness that the family of Dennis Pinske announce his passing after a short battle with cancer. He was a wonderful husband to Pat for 44 years, loving father to Beverley (Brooke) Moysey of Victoria, BC, Cherilyn (Brent) McDiarmid of Kamloops and James (Stephanie) of Victoria, BC and doting grandpa/papa to Charlotte & Vanessa Moysey and Aidan, Kylie & Reese McDiarmid.

Dennis grew up on a farm near Marwayne, AB along with his five siblings. He is survived by Ron (Joyce) Pinske, Garry (Alane) Pinske, Terry Pinske, Lynn Tetz (Cliff) and Sandra (Garry) Mallett and their families all of the Lloydminster area.

Dennis will also be sadly missed by Pat’s sister, Su (Gord) Gairns of Prince George and their family.

Dennis retired from the maintance shop at Royal Inland Hospital in 2008 where he was well respected for his ability to keep equipment running under pressure. He took up golfing with so much enthusiasm that Pat got hooked too.

Dennis & Pat met at an old time country dance in 1969.

They loved to dance and often were the first ones on the dance floor. They enjoyed many years of square dancing where they met many people who became life long friends.

Pat would like to extend a special “thank you” to Ruth and Lisa, two nurses on 6 South at RIH for their kindness during his short stay.

A gathering was held for family and friends October 28 and a golf tournament is planned for the Spring of 2017 date TBA. Pat received several lovely bouquets for which she is very grateful. If anyone else wishes, a donation in Dennis’s memory to the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9 would be appreciated.

Dennis was a kind and loving man who will be sadly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

March 29, 1927 – October 28, 2016

We are sad to announce the passing of Gerald Levasseur. He will be sadly missed by his loving partner Sheila; sister Jean of Pine Falls; children Shaunda (Dan), Linda (Doug), Heather (Paul), Dan (Cheryl) and Darren; many grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, plus nieces, nephews and friends. Gerald was predeceased by his parents William and Dora and by three brothers Rolane, Loie and Paul.

Gerald was born in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan. He moved to Vancouver and joined the navy. After the navy, he returned to Vancouver and became a salesman. He learned and practiced many trades such as mechanic, welder, truck driver, shop foreman at Evan’s Pulp Mill, and he owned his own logging company in Revelstoke. Gerald moved to Kamloops and was hired at Trimac Bulk System, where he stayed until retirement.

Gerald loved hunting, fishing, camping, family gatherings and coaching hockey and baseball teams.

Our heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Wynne and the amazing staff at Ridgeview.

At Gerald’s request a private family gathering will be held.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of James Edward “Ted” Smith, well-known painter and a kind and gentle man. Ted was born in Vernon on April 8, 1933, the only child of stock buyer and brand inspector, James Alexander Smith and teacher, Alma Louisa Smith (nee Johnson). After spending his first years in Lumby, Ted’s family moved briefly to Barriere and finally settled in Kamloops in 1942.

Upon graduating from high school, Ted worked for the CN and completed several years of university, first at Victoria College, and then at UBC before finding his way to the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University). He completed the 4-year diploma in painting and drawing, studying under teachers such as accomplished artists Jack Shadbolt and Don Jarvis.

In 1964, he returned to Kamloops, which was to remain his home for the rest of his life. Ted dedicated his life to painting, exhibiting notably at the former Oasis Gallery, in private local exhibitions, and at the Kamloops Art Gallery, which curated many exhibitions of his work, including Ted Smith: Three Decades of Colour, April 16 to May 17, 1992 (Solo exhibition), Home Grown: Five from the Region, December 10, 2000 to February 4, 2001 (Group exhibition), Ted Smith and A.Y. Jackson: Familiar Territory, March 26 to May 28, 2011 (Group exhibition), and most recently, a major solo exhibition, Ted Smith: A Retrospective, June 28 to August 30, 2014. His works are found in many private

collections in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. A lover of music and particularly opera, Ted was also an avid fly fisher and spent much of his leisure time trout fishing on lakes in and around Kamloops, often together with well-known Kamloops angler, Jack Shaw, and with close friend, Phil Claydon. Much of his work reflects the landscapes of these trips. Ted was predeceased by his parents, close cousin, Tom Newbury, life-long friends and supporters, Reinhold and Lore Dominik, and long-time artistic supporter and former Executive Director of the Kamloops Art Gallery, Jann LM Bailey.

He leaves in mourning members of his ‘adoptive’ family, Annette, Barbara and Kathrine Dominik, and close life-long friends, Phil and Mary Kay Claydon, Marie Scott, Martha Hivon and Nigel Minchin (owners of the former Oasis Gallery), and Gerhard Lietz, as well as many friends in the art community. We would like to thank Dr. Susan Vlahos for her compassionate care of Ted in his last years and the Kamloops Art Gallery for their continuous support of his work. A Celebration of Life will be held for Ted at the Kamloops Art Gallery on Saturday, November 26, at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Kamloops Art Gallery.

Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Q. What’s a Cowboy Coffin?

A. Remember those old Westerns on TV? When they buried somebody it was usually in a simple pine coffin, with that distinctive shape. A lot of Kamloops cowboys choose the Cowboy Coffin at Drake’s. It’s $555. Others prefer a plywood container for $175.

here’s a surprise planned at this year’s instalment of Timeraiser, a unique event that brings volunteers and local artists together.

Organizer September Kuromi doesn’t want to talk about the surprise other than to say it epitomizes the reason for Timeraiser — people learn about the value of and find ways to be volunteering.

They benefit not only by helping their community but by buying local art with those volunteer hours.

Kuromi buys art throughout the year, choosing pieces that might appeal to various demographics, and places them on display during the

event, which is tonight at The Rex Hall, 417 Seymour St. “One of the principles of the Timeraiser is that artists are not asked to donate their work, but rather we are supporting them in their emerging careers,” she said.

People bid on the works using promised volunteer hours rather than cash.

The person who bids the most hours to be volunteered gets the art next year when they complete their promise.

Kuromi said there are times when people who win can’t do the number of hours, something they should tell her as soon as they know so the second-place bidder has a chance to compete their hours to win the work.

This year, 18 artists are featured representing a range

from those who work in acrylics or pen to a photographer’s creation.

They’re not all the kind of work she’d hang on her walls, Kuromi said; it’s important to find things that will appeal to various tastes, hence this year’s offering including a work featuring a large skull.

Non-profits will also be at tonight’s event promoting their work.

Anyone bidding has to agree to put at least half of their volunteer time into one of the participating charities; the other portion can go to one they might also support that isn’t part of Timeraiser.

This year’s agencies include Project X, Interior Community Services, People in Motion, Family Tree Family Resource Centre,

Oncore Central Services, Kamloops Arts Council, Literacy in Kamloops, Habitat for Humanity, Adaptive Sports at Sun Peaks, Barnhartvale Horse and Hiker Association, Kamloops Festival of the Arts, Canadian Cancer Society, Rotaract, Special Olympics, Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association, Kamloops Kidney Foundation and Kamloops Food Bank.

The evening includes a cash bar, appetizers provided by Jill’s Cafe and Kelly Spencer providing the music.

The event starts at 7 p.m., runs to 11 p.m. but the official part of the program is done by about 9:30 p.m.

Tickets are $20 and can be bought at the door for cash or online at kamloopstimeraiser.ca.

or Ami McKay, writing begins, in a way, at the end of the process.

“I always begin a conversation about writing with this question,” she said. “What do you like to read? If you want to write, you must read passionately and with a keen eye. That’s where all writing begins.”

McKay, who will be a featured author at this Author Ami McKay, who weekend’s Kamloops wrote Witches of New York, Writers’ Festival, has will speak at the Kamloops always loved reading, Writers’ Festival. spending time in the public library in her Indiana hometown, devouring the works of Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen, L. Frank Baum, Edgar Allan Poe and so many others.

But writing didn’t call to her immediately. Instead, McKay started a career teaching high-school music classes, building on her other youthful passion, one that would see her playing jazz standards on the piano or classical music on her French horn. In university, she studied music history and theory.

But, McKay always loved to write.

“It’s the best way I know how to make sense of the world and my place in it,” she said.

“I majored in music in university, but I wrote throughout my undergrad and graduate studies. For me, the two art forms go hand in hand.”

Eventually, she found herself teaching in a Chicago high school where, she said, “I fell in love with a good Canadian man.”

Soon, she was living in an old farm house on the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, where she fell in love again, this time with “its breathtaking landscape, its rich history and its kind-hearted people.”

There, with time on her hand and living in a house that, she said, had its own tale to tell, she wrote her first novel, The Birth House.

Her novel about Dora Rare, the first daughter born in five generations of the Rare family, won three Canadian Booksellers Association awards — fiction, author and book design of the year. It was also a finalist for CBC Canada Reads.

McKay draws from her own life to discover moments that inspire her muse.

McCann motivated by love of music Festival A few years ago, Sean McCann left Great Big Sea. He faced addiction, spent time with family and pursued a solo career. He’ll play in Kamloops on Nov. 12.

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

From B1

S

ean McCann has traded in his 2003 Honda for a 2010 Subaru — and moved his family from his native Newfoundland and Labrador to a tiny town of about 4,700 people just south of Ottawa, deep in the bucolic Gatineau region of the province.

Both changes work for him. The new location is closer to major cities — about half an hour from downtown Ottawa and a longer drive of about four hours to Toronto.

But the location also presents him with more opportunities to share the music he makes now, a few years after his break from Great Big Sea and his journey to reclaim his sobriety and find his music again.

The car gives him a more comfortable ride and the ability through hands-free technology to make the calls he has to complete, be they checking on a venue he’s booked, keeping in touch with his public-relations assistant, calling the media for a story or checking in at home with his wife and children.

“The main reason I did this,” McCann said of the move, “is St. John’s is beautiful but there’s not much opportunity for working there.”

As he spoke with KTW, McCann was heading to Toronto for a show and then a couple of hours farther down the highway to London, Ont., where he’s got another show planned and an appearance with an addiction-services agency there, where he’ll share his story.

It’s one he’s talked about often since leaving the band he was with for two decades after his wife gave him an ultimatum — stop drinking, face your addiction, deal with your demons and take back your life or you’ll lose everything.

Now, he’s busy doing what he loves.

“I do most of the work, booking, promoting, but I’m surviving and, in today’s music business, that’s a big success,” he said.

He’s not travelling with his best friend and fellow musician Matt Wells, who is back in Newfoundland working on the feature film Crown and Anchor with Mike Rowe, another musician friend from the island.

McCann is doing the music for the film.

“He asked me to do a cameo in it,”

kicks off tonight

DAVE HOWELLS PHOTO Sean McCann performed in Kamloops last year and remembers everyone singing along.

“No one gets out of my shows without singing,” he told KTW’s Dale Bass.

McCann said of Wells, “ but I’m not a good enough actor and I’m not vain enough to do that.”

He’s heading west for awhile to do a string of shows, including one on Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way. McCann was last in Kamloops about a year ago, when he performed to a sold-out audience at St. Andrews on the Square, a show he said he loved doing because people were singing along.

“No one gets out of my shows without singing,” he said.

McCann doesn’t follow a set list but takes his shows where he or the audience directs the music. His goal is to create a warm, intimate atmosphere like a big party or a family visit where music binds everyone together.

He’s fine doing the bulk of the work himself and is no longer looking for hockey arenas in which to perform, opting for smaller venues and handling the tour details himself. He does it because he loves it.

“If I worked it out per hour, I’m probably just making minimum wage but, that two hours on stage, that’s just magic,” McCann said. “I’ll be doing it as long as I can.”

He’s also working out an idea for another album, one influenced by technology and

communications. While McCann confirms he uses social media to promote his shows, he said he’s finding himself “dwelling more and more on technology and how it affects mental health and society.”

Users think they’re connected but, McCann said, the pervasive reliance on social media and technology is divisive.

“It can’t replace conversation,” he said.

“You think you’re going toward that artificial light but the real light is in us. Music is a reflection of that real light. We all connect to that.”

He sees it as another addiction, one that is having an impact on families and lives — a concept he hopes to explore musically.

“I got to the airport in Toronto about five years ago and the place was blocked but you could hear a pin drop, it was so quiet. No one was talking. They were all on devices.

Everyone’s head was down.

“It made me think of a metaphor. There’s a sky up there that’s real and what they’re doing is just drawing their line of sight toward the ground.

“They think they’re connecting but it’s not the same thing as getting together and singing a song together.”

Tickets for his show are $30 and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

“I’ve always loved genealogy and have been tracing my family tree since my teens,” she said. “Along the way, I’ve taken the time to dig deeper into the lives of several of the women in various branches, and in so doing, I’ve found some amazing stories.”

One of them led to her second novel, The Virgin Cure, an outgrowth of her research into the life of her great-great grandmother, one of the first female physicians in New York City in the 1800s.

It’s the story of a young girl born to a poor family who is sold into servitude to a wealthy woman and how, through the friendship of a female doctor, she learns how to take control of her own life.

In her research for her latest book, The Witches of New York, McKay found another family angle to work from in creating the tale set again in the 1880s.

The protagonist from The Virgin Cure returns in this book, running a tea shop with another woman who identifies herself as a witch.

“When I was half-way through the process of writing The Witches of New York, I discovered that my nine-times great aunt was accused, tried, and hanged for witchcraft at Gallows Hill in Salem,” McKay said.

“It was a complete shock, but it left me feeling as if perhaps my desire to write about witches and, more importantly, about women who were ostracized for being outspoken, had been in my blood all along.”

McKay will be reading from her last book on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m. in the Campus Activity Centre at Thompson Rivers University.

The festival begins on Friday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St., with a panel discussion with Richard Wagamese, Ashley Little, Michael V. Smith and Elizabeth Bachinsky; each author will also host a workshop on Nov. 5 at the centre.

On Nov. 6, Little and Bachinsky will read from their works at the Kamloops Library, 465 Victoria St. Those readings are free and open to the public.

Cost to attend the festival is $105 and $90 for students. There are individual costs for specific events; opening night is $15, Saturday workshops are $30 each, Saturday readings are $10 and the McKay reading is $15 and $10 for students.

Canada needs own Top 40 chart Talent, laws already in place — so why is our music culture produced in the U.S.?

C

anada has long had an inferiority complex when it comes to our own culture.

While our entertainment industry is dwarfed by our next door neighbour — the United States — we tend to think of our TV, movies and music as inferior.

In terms of music, it was the success of the Guess Who that allowed Canada to put our own culture on the world’s music map, as it was the first significant band to dent the charts in the U.S. Out of that grew our Canadian Content laws, designed to protect our unique cultural output.

It was among our first attempts at building our own Canadian music industry.

In the late 1960s, Canada began producing its own Top 40 music charts.

STEVE MARLOW

Radio

EDIT In 1997, the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commision (CRTC) reviewed the categorizing of our own charts.

At the time, Canada had two trade magazines tracking Canadian music play and sales, The Record and RPM Magazine.

Today, we have none, as in 2001, both stopped publishing.

Up until 2001, The Record was providing

its own Top 40 Charts to Billboard in the U.S., which republished them as the Canadian Hot 50 charts and, eventually, the Canadian Hot 100.

It was these charts that defined an official “hit” in Canada.

Since 2001, Canada has been without a national Top 40 hits chart produced in Canada.

Some charts were produced by CBC, some

by Canoe Jam! Media.

Since 2007, the CRTC has officially recognized the Billboard Hot 100 Canadian charts as the official Canadian hits chart.

Our official record of Canadian music culture is now produced in the United States.

With the handwringing done by the CRTC about protection of Canadian culture through Canadiancontent laws, it’s strange our charts are

produced entirely outside of our country.

Since the death of The Record, Canada has let the U.S. and Billboard take the reigns of what appears on our own “hit” radio stations.

Why has no other publication started to track our culture again?

It’s not like we have a lack of Canadian musicians to play.

The U.S. Top 40 charts are full of Canadian talent, including Drake, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes and others.

There’s nothing wrong or inferior about our musical output — our musicians are heard worldwide.

With the amount of attention the CRTC puts on developing culture where are our Top 40 Charts?

We have a thriving music industry, with both commercial and

non-commercial musicians succeeding.

Canadian organizations like FACTOR hand out hundreds of thousands of dollars to help emerging and established Canadian musicians.

Movies are being made by Canadian and international film makers inside our country and TV shows filmed here can be seen on both Canadian and international screens.

We have the talent, the will and the laws to protect our culture.

We should also have the money, talent and will to re-establish our own, fully Canadian, Top 40 chart.

Steve Marlow is the program co-ordinator at CFBX, an independent radio station in Kamloops.

Music with a message

Nov. 18 event to highlight social justice, nostalgia at Smorgasbord Pete Seeger will be featured among music during Protest Songs for a Better World.

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he great American singer-songwriter Pete Seeger once said, “If I’ve got a talent, it’s for picking the right song at the right time for the right audience. And I can always get people to sing with me.”

His discography contains many of the most influential protest songs ever recorded — and, odds are, a few of them will be sung at the Smorgasbord Deli on Nov. 18 as people take part in Protest Songs for a Better World.

Organized by the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Kamloops, the free evening — it’s pay what you can with the money shared with the performers — will include music and poetry of social protest and justice, said Rev. Helen McFadyen. She’s familiar with the concept; while living in Halifax, the Unitarian church where she worked would host similar events that were always popular, McFadyen said. The Kamloops church has no building, renting space for its gatherings, and, when considering another venue, the Smorgasbord leaped immediately to mind.

McFadyen said it makes sense because the deli and store at 225 Seventh Ave. is seen in the city as the place where people gather to talk about social justice and similar issues.

She expects it will be a night filled with nostalgia, “especially for older folks as we think about what we’ve accomplished.”

To complement that theme, there will be a prize

for the best display of protest buttons as well as the favourite performer.

McFadyen comes from a family that believed in standing up for causes. Her first exposure to taking that kind of position came when she was five years old and she’s been doing it ever since, be it through small collectives, neighbourhood gatherings or larger campaigns.

Music has always been linked to social justice campaigns, McFadyen said, and she’ll be bringing some of her own recordings to supplement local performers who take the mic.

“It’s the music of the people,” McFadyen said, noting that, while it’s hard for her to pick one iconic song that is a favourite, she would point to Seeger, a longtime member of the Unitarian fellowship, because his conviction went beyond his music to the way he lived his life.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the event runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. For more, call McFadyen at 250-572-2018 or email minister@uukamloops.ca.

‘Teachers have been there forever seeing these stories’ DALE BASS

P

erhaps it’s fitting Ryan Egan’s involvement in the CBC documentary series This Is High School goes back to his own days in the classroom.

It’s brought the former Kamloopsian — who now calls Toronto home — back to the River City and into the same classroom where he learned French when he was a student at Kamloops High School, now known as South Kamloops secondary (SKSS).

That classroom is now a studio once a week where Egan and some of the SKSS students featured in the documentary talk about their experience with the show, what high school life is like.

While there’s a format he has to follow to a degree, the conversation aired on Facebook Live can be a lot like improvisation,

Egan said.

He was asked to host the follow-up sessions for the six-week series by another former Kamloopsian, Megan Cameron, one of the series’ producers and a friend of Egan since the two of them were in Grade 3.

The series flows from earlier this year, when documentary producer David Paferny took his crew into the school, set up dozens of remote-controlled cameras and microphones and recorded life in the high school.

Each of the six episodes features two individual stories that have addressed subjects like bullying, stress, special needs, struggling to

succeed and first love.

The final episode runs on Sunday, although past ones can be watched online at cbc.ca/thisishighschool.

Egan said he was drawn to the gig because of the storyline. He enjoyed high school, he said, once he got into the senior grades “but junior high was terrible.”

It’s been fun returning to the school where some of the teachers he had in the 1990s are still there.

“The lockers look smaller, though,” he said.

Egan has been surprised at how students today “are much more open and accepting” than they were when he was a student.

That reality was shown in a recent episode that aired, he said, one that featured a student with autism facing a difficult assignment and how his fellow students rallied to help him.

the students, Egan said he sees the series as a homage to teachers at SKSS. “It’s the students’ stories,” he said, “but really, what’s happening to them is just a blip in these kids’ lives.

The teachers have been there forever seeing these stories.”

Bare Bones trio back from ‘life-changing’ trip to Nashville JESSICA WALLACE

IT WAS A THRILLER

The walking dead took to the streets of downtown Kamloops last weekend for the annual Zombie Walk. The event, which inspires elabourate makeup and costumes, kicked off with Michael Jackson’s famed Thriller dance.

For many more photos from this event and other Halloween festivities that took place throughout the city, go online to kamlopsthisweek.com.

Three Kamloops musicians are inspired and ready to make music in the wake of a recent trip to Nashville, the result of winning a contest through Country Music Television (CMT).

“We are fortunate to have had this experience,” singer-songwriter Madison Olds, 18, told KTW. “This really was a life-changing sort of adventure and I know it’s inspired us to come home and hit the ground running.”

Olds, along with 20-year-olds Abby Wale and Chloé Beauchamp-Brisson make up the Bees and the Bare Bones country-rock trio, which won the Chevy Tailgate Contest in search of

the next country music stars.

Top prize was a trip to Nashville, with time in a professional recording studio.

The group recorded a song, performed live and earned enough votes in the national contest to learn they had won during the Canadian Country Music Awards.

In Nashville, they recorded a new song called Fool at Sound Emporium Studios.

Olds said the group played a couple songs for the producer and, when they began playing Fool, “his eyes lit up and it was sort of the one.

“We started to lay down guitar and everything,” she said.

It was then a drummer was called in and the professionalism of their circumstances sunk in for Olds.

“It was just like, ‘Oh my goodness, this is so cool. I’ve never seen this happen,’” she said.

“He picks up the phone and had this incredible musician coming.”

They also had the opportunity to record a song with Angaleena Presley of the Pistol Annies and take in a back-stage tour of the Grand Ole Opry concert hall, before watching Little Big Town perform there.

“We came out vibrating and were like, that’s going to be us soon,” Olds said.

The group returned home last week, accompanied by Olds’ parents and grandmother, who inspired her and eventually the group to enter the contest.

Wale and Beauchamp-Brisson are taking time off from

school to focus on music with Olds, who said she hadn’t planned on pursuing post-secondary education.

Being that the group has only been together a couple months, the trio plans to spend time meshing and writing music in the next few months.

Their to-do list includes: recording original songs, working on an EP, entering songwriting contests, getting their name out there and performing gigs.

“For us, it [Nashville] took away the unrealistic dream and kind of made it real for us and it sort of made us really want to come home and make Kamloops proud and put in all this work,” Olds said.

CMT recorded the group in Nashville and the segment airs tomorrow at 9 a.m.

Essence of Hawaii dates back to 1700s KAROLINE CULLEN

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales..com

“

Huli!”

The command to switch sides is quickly followed by “Imua, imua!”

“Go, go!”

I change my paddle from left to right, thankfully not dropping it in the process, and lean into a furious stroke.

The call “hoe h’pi!” or “paddles up” brings welcome relief to burning shoulder muscles.

The outrigger catches the crest of the wave, speeds up and we’re rapidly surfing toward the shore.

I am one of six paddlers in an outrigger canoe off the shore of Kihei, Maui.

The waters are calm, sea turtles swim around and we stop for a short lomi lomi massage break on shore.

Not only are we getting our morning exercise paddling, we are learning about cultural traditions of the once royal Ko’ie’ie Fishpond.

Our guide Vene is the protector or guardian. Who better to teach us the ways of the ancients?

After gleefully catching the wave for our short canoe surf, he carefully navigates the vessel through an opening in the lava rock wall of the pond.

As he does so, he explains how fishponds work.

Walls of stones and boulders are built higher than the highest

tide and an opening in the walls is fitted with a wooden sluice gate with vertical spaces between the slats.

Small fish pass into the pond through the openings and feed on the algae and seaweed.

Once fish grow larger than the spaces between the slats, they cannot escape.

Pond stocks can then be carefully maintained and harvested for both subsistence and ceremonial purposes.

We slow our canoe and clamber over the sides into the waistdeep water to better inspect the walls.

The bottom of the pond feels slick with algae and silt oozes between my toes.

The pond is about 500 years old.

Legend tells of it being built by Menehune, Hawaii’s mythical people of extraordinary powers.

In reality, more than 10,000 people worked on its last reconstruction.

Chiefs were considered wealthy if they had many loko i’a

or fishponds in their jurisdiction. Some, like this one, were reserved strictly for ali’i or royal use.

When Captain Cook came to Hawaii in the late 1700s, more than 350 fishponds fed thousands.

By 1900, less than one hundred ponds were left and, at the start of the 21st century, there were fewer than four.

In Cook’s time, there were about one-million Hawaiians and they were self-sustaining.

The land was divided from the highlands to the sea according to a system called ahupua’a. Every inhabitant was assured access to water, food, building materials and natural medicines.

Today, there are about 1.4-million Hawaiians and they import 90 per cent of what they need.

Vene sadly shakes his head at this decline in self-sustenance.

The fishpond restoration project was started by Vene’s uncle, who wants to reintroduce some of that long lost ancient culture and wisdom.

He convinced Vene to join his pursuit even though the way to achieving that goal and how it would be funded was not always clear.

His uncle advised “Whatever you put in, you’ll get out.”

Initially, grant money was scarce.

Now the project has gained momentum and the roster of volunteers

and funding sources has grown.

Interrupting his tale, Vene sloshes over to a volunteer who comes from New York annually to work on the fishpond.

Together, they barely manage lifting a metre diametre lava rock into place.

On community work days, many muscles strain as massive boul-

ders are passed hand to hand.

Smaller rocks fill the gaps and stabilize the construction. Vene reverently claims every stone carries the power of the ancestors, which may explain why many are drawn to work on the walls.

The pond covers about three acres and is almost two metres deep in spots. There is a lot

of wall yet to build.

Vene’s passion for his culture shines in all he does.

While strumming a ukulele, chanting a paddle rhythm, explaining the symbolism of a flower or blowing a conch salute to the four ends of the Earth, his broad smile radiates love and respect for the ancient ways.

In parting, he trans-
