Premier Christy Clark visited iTel Networks on Mission Flats Road yesterday.

Premier Clark hears call from tech industry for more help CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Technology leaders in Kamloops asked Premier Christy Clark yesterday for more trained university grads and more access to capital.

Clark met early in the afternoon with a group at iTel Networks, a Kamloops company with plans to grow to 300 employees.

It is located in the former Weyco headquarters in Mission Flats.

Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone estimated there are 60 to 70 high-tech firms in the region.

“This is really a great example of how tech can thrive anywhere in the province, especially in communities that have a great lifestyle,” the premier told reporters.

Clark said tech companies locally

and throughout the province want more talent, access to funding for expansion and ease of bidding on government contracts.

“We came away with some ideas to work on with post-secondary institutions here,” Clark said.

“TRU has been doing a great job, but they’ve made an application for support for more computer engineering and some tech spaces.”

Danny Rink, the entrepreneur who founded iTel, said his message to the premier was around graduating engineers from TRU and increasing the number of computer science grads.

Thompson Rivers University has a one- or two-year engineering transfer program.

It is asking the province to fund about $4 million annually to graduate engineers in computing, software and electrical engineering.

“It’s around talent acquisition for us . . . The tech community here is small and we don’t want to poach,” Rink said. “We need new talent and we’d rather hire here.”

Later in the day, Clark met with Liberal members from throughout the city to rally support before the May election for Stone and Peter Milobar, who was nominated last weekend in Kamloops-North Thompson.

Saying, “we do want that project to go ahead,” Clark said the No. 1 issue in Kamloops is the next phase of expansion at Royal Inland Hospital, now estimated to cost upwards of $400 million.

“I was just down at White Spot an hour ago and everybody’s talking about it,” Clark said.

“We’re working really hard on getting this business case done and how much it could cost.”

The B.C. Liberal government can keep down costs of ICBC premiums without resulting to privatization or a no-fault system, Premier Christy Clark said yesterday.

Clark was in Kamloops for a Liberal rally and meeting with business leaders.

A day earlier, Minister of Transportation Todd Stone announced a new measure to force drivers with cars worth more than $150,000 to purchase basic insurance privately. It’s one measure to reduce rates forecasted under one scenario to rise by 45 per cent over five years.

“ICBC put out a whole range of scenarios,” she said. “Some of them were alarming for me, as well as I think everyone else, and some of them were pretty good, thinking about a two per cent increase.”

Premiums are forecast to increase due to higher crash rates, higher repair rates and larger personal injury awards. But Clark said she’s confident her government can keep rates down through measured changes. The NDP Opposition has warned the Liberals will let rates inflate by double-digit amounts if it forms government next May. Clark said there are no plans to privatize basic insurance or to adopt no-fault insurance that would pay for injuries based on set amounts, similar to workers’ compensation.

“I’ve told ICBC, ‘Look, we’ve set a maximum of 4.9 per cent and we are not going to accept anything that goes above that.’”

Individual school enrolment figures show growth in the district has been spread throughout the city and into the Thompson-Nicola region.

The district has welcomed 173 more students this year than were in classes last year.

Most schools have shown an increase in students, from a few (Kay Bingham, for example, increased by two students) to a substantial amount (Sa-Hali secondary, for example, welcomed 102 additional students and Brock middle school added 28 kids).

School District 73 assistant superintendent Bill Hamblett said school enrolment traditionally fluctuates up or down a few students, a reflection of the reality of people moving into and out of areas.

The statistics confirm what the district began to see earlier this year as it did its monthly enrolment reports, with increased numbers entering Kamloops and area schools as the oil industry in

Alberta began to collapse and following the Fort McMurray fire.

Hamblett noted the increase has been reflected in the North Thompson with Clearwater secondary increasing by 18 students.

Anecdotally, Hamblett said, he has heard from other Interior school districts that they are also seeing an increase in enrolment.

MORE THAN $19,000 PAID TO FIRED CITY WORKER

ON 2016 GMC 1500 CREW CAB ON NOW UNTIL NOVEMBER 30

The City of Kamloops has paid more than $19,000 to a parks worker it fired and was forced to rehire by a B.C. Labour Relations arbitrator.

Human resources director Lori Rilkoff said Joe Cupello was paid $19,136 in back wages, before statutory deductions.

The city also made a $5,149 payment to cover employer pension contributions and $3,707 to cover employment insurance premiums. It also added six days to

Cupello’s sick-leave entitlement.

Director of corporate services and community safety David Duckworth said the sum doesn’t cover the entire two years between Cupello’s firing and his reinstatement with the city, only the stretches of time when he was not gainfully employed somewhere else.

“You don’t get to double dip,” Duckworth said.

Cupello, a parks cleaner, was fired for falsely claiming to have completed work he hadn’t done.

According to a judgement from arbi-

trator Robert Diebolt, Cupello ticked off a duty sheet in March 2014, claiming he had cleaned a number of parks, which he had not done.

However, Diebolt said the city didn’t give Cupello enough notice about the disciplinary meeting at which he was fired and should not have suggested which shop steward should accompany Cupello to the meeting.

While the city appealed the ruling, it was unsuccessful.

Cupello’s isn’t the only payout coming to a fired employee.

The city was also ordered to re-hire Ian

Price, a water and wastewater operator deemed partly responsible for a spill of sewage into the South Thompson River in 2014.

During that hearing, an arbitrator ruled the firing was excessive compared to other punishments doled out by the city in connection to the incident.

The arbitrator also said some management testimony that had factored into previous disciplinary actions toward Price wasn’t believable.

Duckworth said figures for Price’s payout are not yet available.

The city is also waiting

on a judgement relating to an employee suspension stemming from the same spill.

As a result of five-million litres of sewage spilling into the river from the O’Connor life station in Dallas, the city was ordered at a community environmental justice forum to spend $20,000 on fish-habitat rehabilitation on Tranquille Creek and install $8,000 worth of alarms on its sewage system to prevent a similar backup from going undetected.

The city waited eight months to inform the public about the spill.

Routley estimates it takes the equivalent of 30 “man weeks” to get the train and passenger cars lit for the holiday season.

This year’s Christmas tours begin Dec. 9.

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops This Week is owned by Thompson River Publications Partnership Limited

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

HOT: The focus on cyberspace misbehaviour as the KamloopsThompson school district begins to create a social-media policy — for parents.

We all know about the troubles kids get themselves into via that addictive communication device glued to their hands 24/7.

But it appears as though some parents can be equally offside online, which was evident in some comments on a Facebook page that was created by a school’s parent group.

The page included inflammatory posts.

If the ones charged with teaching their children well need to be taught, we’re all in trouble.

OUR

NOT: The decision by Kamloops council to close the Ord Road recycling depot, thereby denying an important city service to a large segment of the North Shore and Westsyde.

It is unfortunate that certain cretins among us have been using the recycling depot as a dump, but surely the big brains at city hall can find an easier solution — relocating the depot to a spot that is not hidden from passing traffic.

VIEW

HOT: The debate over ICBC, the government monopoly on basic vehicle insurance.

Rates have risen dramatically during Christy Clark’s time as premier and are forecast to continue to increase (though that increase would have been tempered had the B.C. Liberal government not taken hundreds of millions of dollars from ICBC via a “dividends”).

Here’s an idea for Transportation Minister Todd Stone: If ICBC is in such poor shape that eye-popping increases in premiums have become the norm, why not open the auto-insurance market to competition?

If ICBC is so good for B.C. drivers, then let drivers compare and shop for the coverage they desire.

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS PHOTO

A typical day in Beijing at this time of year. This isn’t just fog, as one can easily tell by the smell and effects on breathing.

Polluting the climatechange debate

W

ithin days, I will be arriving in China, travelling from Japan with a forest-industry trade mission led by B.C. Forests Minister Steve Thomson.

A fellow journalist stationed in Beijing posted a local story on Twitter the other day, a forecast that fall and winter air quality is expected to be worse than usual this year.

And “usual” in that part of China is worse than anything we have ever seen in North America.

He followed that up with a cellphone video taken out the window of a plane as it taxied to its takeoff location. In broad daylight, even the edge of the runway a few metres away was shrouded behind a blank screen of greyish-white.

This is not carbon pollution, as some North American politicians now refer to carbon dioxide, the invisible gas we exhale with every breath that helps trees grow. It is soot particles, sulfur and nitrogen oxides and other contaminants from burning massive amounts of coal and oil without adequate controls.

It is poison.

Claiming carbon dioxide is pollution, rather than an essential trace gas that adds to heat trapping in the atmosphere, is just one problem with the climate-change narrative pushed by the United Nations.

Using jet-setting, mega-yachtsailing actor Leonardo DiCaprio as a spokesman is another. It’s hard to

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

CHINA

imagine a worse choice, measured by his Hollywood lifestyle or his technical knowledge.

This is the guy who felt a Chinook wind blow in while filming in Alberta in winter and thought the world was ending.

I’ve described some of the other inconvenient truths before, like the fact polar bear populations have increased in recent decades or that there has been a two-decade pause, with only a slight rise in average temperatures, a trend that may be returning after a couple of warm El Nino years, similar to 1998.

There’s one more problem I want to mention and then I will give this topic a rest.

For this one I refer you to Judith Curry, professor at the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech. She runs a technical but readable blog at judithcurry. com that politely analyzes mainstream climate-change theory.

Discussing Donald Trump’s promise to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord, and his since-

recanted 2012 claim that humancaused climate change is a “hoax” created by the Chinese, Curry goes back to the original United Nations definition: “Climate change is a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.”

She calls this “a perversion of the definition . . . designed to mislead people into thinking that all climate change is caused by humans.”

Curry also rejects the “propaganda” the emissions reductions agreed to in Paris would have “any discernible impact” beyond natural climate variability.

Even if temperatures start to match climate models, and the U.S. and the rest of us meet our Paris targets, the expected reduction in warming would be twotenths of one degree by 2100.

U.S. smog and emissions have gone down in recent years, mostly by replacing thermal coal with natural gas. B.C. is proposing to do the same thing for China, helping to reduce real pollution in the Asian country and CO2 emissions in B.C. This idea is under continuous attack in what has become a religious war on fossil fuels.

Here’s to cleaner air and a fresh look at the obvious biases of climate change politics. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WE NEED MORE COMPANIES LIKE LAFARGE Editor: I would like to acknowledge Lafarge Cement Inc. for providing almost 40 years of employment for Kamloops-based workers.

The employees were fortunate enough to have a job with the company and its contractors.

The company was a good corporate citizen and the jobs it provided were well paid, secure and in an environment in which safety was part of the job.

Lafarge Cement Inc. was a good place to work.

Prior to the commencement of work at the Lafarge site, the self-righteous boo birds of Kamloops were out in their shining armour, providing every scenario they could dream up for reasons why it was not environmentally or economically viable to have an operation such as this on the doorstep our community.

We had the same reaction to the proposed Afton mine southwest of Aberdeen when it was proposed in 1980s.

Afton had problems meeting the environmental standard for the smelter, which was an original part of the operation. As good corporate citizens, Afton mothballed the smelter at a cost of many millions dollars and the company subsequently found another way to process ore.

That is what good corporate citizens do in their quest to operate a good business.

In particular, I’m offended by the selfinterest group within city council that is part of this movement to grind us to a halt.

Regardless of regulatory compliance and many changes made to the operation of KGHM’s proposed Ajax mine as a result of their input, they will be damned if we entertain any proposal for such a mine.

I believe we should achieve all provin-

cial and federal standards in all corporate endeavors operating in our province.

I am particularly offended by Kamoops city council’s expenditure of $200,000 of our tax money to study this issue.

About half of council members have already made up their minds to fight to the finish against any progress.

As far as the boo birds are concerned, they don’t need environmental regulations because they know better than anyone what is good for us.

In closing, I again recognize Lafarge for its contributions to the Kamloops economy over its many years of operation.

I hope we are able to find employers like Lafarge that are able to support our community by providing good jobs for the long term, if not forever.

ADDICTION A DISEASE, BUT SELF-INFLICTED AFFLICTION Editor: I am watching with interest as politicians of all levels and stripes try to respond to calls to do something about the drug-overdose situation.

Addiction is called a disease, and it may well be, but it is the only one for which the recipient volunteers.

Visit B.C. Children’s Hospital or any other hospital and you will find people of all ages with diseases they contracted through no fault of their own.

They didn’t volunteer for their diseases, but the health-care budget they depend on is going to be depleted as the government diverts money away from them to stem the tide of these deadly fentanyl overdoses.

I am not without sympathy for these people, but what has happened to the concept of

personal responsibility?

These people are wilfully using the next pill/joint/syringe knowing there is a high probability it could be there last living act.

Yet it is no deterrent.

I think this is one problem the government can’t solve.

It can only pretend it is helping, trying to be seen to be doing something.

I have eight wonderful living grandchildren, from tots to teens.

If, God forbid, one of them follows this life and becomes a victim of their own action, I will mourn their loss, but I will not be on the six o’clock news pleading for the government to do something.

STOLEN CREDIT CARD USED A vehicle was broken into sometime over night on Sunday, November 20th in the Juniper Ridge area and a wallet was taken. The thieves wasted no time in using the credit card at 3 different locations in Kamloops. At one of the convenience stores, a photo captured a couple using the credit card. It is unknown if this couple were involved in the theft but they used the stolen credit card to obtain a number of items at each of the locations. It has been said many times before do not

leave valuables in your vehicle, do not become a victim to these suspects.

Also, remember if your Credit Card has “PIN” it is virtually impossible for thieves to use the credit card, if it is “Tap and Go’ you could be at risk if the card is stolen.

The couple are both First Nations, the male appears to be in his mid 40’s, short hair and had a dark jacket on. The female is in her mid 30’s, hair pulled back in a pony tail and was wearing a black and white checkered jacket.

On Wednesday, November 16th 3 people walked into a North Shore liquor store together and went their separate ways once in the store. All three were being watched by the store staff for a brief period of time but the store employees got busy with other duties. All three suspects left without purchasing anything. The staff went to the area where the suspects had been hanging around and

noticed a number of bottles of liquor had been taken.

Although the photo is not of the best quality, you may recognize someone in this this group. The female is Caucasian mid 40’s, dark hair pulled back and at the time was wearing a grey jacket.

The first male appears to be First Nations, with a pony tail and was wearing a Camo jacket. The other male is Caucasian, late 30’s short hair with a

If you know any of these three people, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of any of the suspects.

A mobile supervised drug-use service is being considered for Kamloops.

Locations and stops would be determined based on overdose and substance-use data, as well as feedback from those who would use it.

The Interior Health Authority wants feedback from the public. Input can be submitted online at interiorhealth.ca.

Search for “Supervised Consumption Services,” which is located under Medical Health Officers under the “About Us” tab.

Feedback must be submitted by Dec. 15.

Health Minister Terry Lake said the service is needed because it saves lives. In all of 2015, Kamloops had seven overdose deaths. By the end of October this year, there had been 31 such deaths.

In addition to addressing overdoses, Lake said the service may also reduce the risk of transmitting infections diseases like HIV and hepatitis C. “They could be of great benefit to Kamloops and

Kelowna and any community high-risk population,” Lake said.

A mobile clinic and one located on Leon Avenue in Kelowna are being considered for the Lake City.

Opting for a mobile clinic would be a way to reach more than one area of the city, according to the health authority.

It plans to talk with people who use drugs and others who are involved in services to drug users to identify potential locations.

The IHA has not applied for an exemption from Health Canada that would allow it to operate supervised drug sites.

A decision will be made after data, operational considerations and public feedback are reviewed.

The IHA is also talking with business associations and the RCMP. Kamloops council has already given its support to the health authority, advocating for two drug-use sites — on the North and South shores.

Lake said a mobile unit would accomplish that.

Royal Inland Hospital emergency

room Dr. Ian Mitchell has seen the impact of such a service.

He was working at St. Paul’s Hospital on Vancouver when the supervised drug-use site Insite opened on the Downtown Eastside.

He said the number of overdoses treated at the Burrard Street hospital declined almost immediately.

Mitchell said there’s other value to the service because it can help lead drug users into rehabilitation programs.

Lake has also announced the Chinese ministry of public safety and RCMP will be working together to address the flow of fentanyl — which has been found in a majority of drug-overdose deaths — from coming to Canada.

China is also working with Ottawa to designate the ingredients used to create fentanyl as controlled substances.

Lake called the agreement a critical step in addressing the overdose situation in the province, one provincial medical officer of health Dr. Perry Kendall has declared a medical emergency.

Futurpreneur’s Spencer Toth has 10 minutes to get his point across at next week’s Link Up: Kamloops Business Development Summit and he plans to focus on one message: Giving entrepreneurs the support they need to succeed.

“If you feel like you haven’t got the support you deserve, that is exactly why we’re here,” Toth said.

“Resources are available for anyone who is trying to get a business started.”

Toth said there are more opportunities for young entrepreneurs due to a federal government that is paying more attention to youth empowerment and innovation, but noted access to mentors and start-up funds can still be a challenge.

Futurpreneur has been supporting young entrepreneurs for 20 years. Formerly the Canadian Youth Business Foundation, the national non-profit organization rebranded two years ago, partly to appeal to a broader clientele over the age of 25.

It assists early-stage entrepreneurs ages 18 to 39 with businessplanning support, financing and mentoring.

Its core program includes a combination of financing and two years of mentorship for start-up business owners who struggle to get support from financial institutions.

Its closest representative is based in the Okanagan.

Funds for SD73 trades program

Five local business support and development organizations are presenting Link Up, the inaugural Kamloops Business Development Summit for Kamloops businesses.

The full-day event on Thursday, Dec. 1 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way, will include seminars, a keynote speaker, a trade show, and opportunities for businesses to connect.

It is being organized by Venture Kamloops, Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, BDC, Community Futures and Kamloops Innovation.

The day will feature 10- to 15-minute presentations by 20 organizations under four panels: financing, provincial support, community support and grants.

Tickets are $50 and include a light breakfast, lunch and snacks. For more information and to buy tickets, go online to: www.venturekamloops.com/ linkup.

The provincial government is giving School District 73 $30,000 for its Youth Work in Trades program.

Formerly known as the secondary school apprenticeship, the program gives students in grades 10 to 12 the chance to start working toward a trade by placing them with local employers to get practical experience.

tive approaches to how we can support youth enterprise, really trying to find those niche areas,” Toth said.

“We’ve observed that a lot of people aren’t just launching into business any more.”

Its ThriveNorth initiative, also new in the last two years, aims to encourage entrepreneurship opportunities in the more remote northwest region of B.C. Toth said young business owners in these areas are passionate and enthusiastic, but don’t have access to the same opportunities Vancouverites do.

“I know Kamloops is not a small town, but there are resources in Vancouver that people in Kamloops would not have access to,” Toth said, adding most organizations tend to focus their work in more populated areas.

“Supporting entrepreneurs that are in more rural areas, not in those major centres, that’s something we see great success with, not just in B.C. but across Canada.”

Futurpreneur has supported 21 Kamloops businesses, including Eats Amore, Nelly’s Fitness and, most recently, Kamloops Fit Centre.

Toth said Futurpreneur wants to continue working with local organizations such as Community Futures and the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce to support entrepreneurs in the area.

Toth will be on the financing panel at Link Up: Kamloops Business Development Summit, which takes place on Thursday, Dec. 1 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre.

principal for secondary transitions, said the money will help trades students have “immersive experiences” learning about the trades that interest them.

The number of students studying trades has increased through the years. This year, there are about 300 in different parts of the curriculum, from studying to practical experiences.

Threats at school under investigation DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Graffiti including racial slurs and threats of violence were found Tuesday painted on the underside of a piece of equipment on the playground of Arthur Stevenson elementary.

The discovery by a student at the school prompted several actions to be taken: School District 73 maintenance staff painted over the words after the RCMP took photographs and Mounties will have a visible presence at the Bank Street school the rest of this week.

In a letter to parents, principal Grant Reilly said RCMP is continuing to investigate, noting the graffiti included “a threat of violence at a school in the area.”

Trish Smillie, SD73’s director of student support services, said normal safety protocols were reinforced.

All school doors — including classroom doors — were locked throughout the day, except the front door, which was monitored by administration and the school secretary.

That is the normal procedure at schools, Smillie said, enacted following a district-wide safety review in 2013.

She said she was unaware of any students expressing concern, but that staff follow a positive behaviour and intervention supports program to address any issues.

While she wouldn’t discuss the specifics of the graffiti or evaluate its seriousness, Smillie said any time racist or hate language is found on school property, police and the district consider it to be serious.

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

M

ichele Walker recently received a call from a woman who stayed with her sons 12 years ago at the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter.

The woman wanted to share how she has been doing — that she has regular work, owns a house and how her two boys have grown up to become “fantastic young men” who have their own kids.

She also wanted Walker to know they are all safe.

“Hearing that kind of thing is really . . .” said Walker, general manager of the YMCA-YWCA’s Violence Against Women Intervention and Support Services, with a pause. “Because sometimes we don’t hear anything. Sometimes we hear that she’s died.”

The shelter is one of five charities supported by this year’s KTW Christmas Cheer Fund, which raises money to support agencies providing essential services in Kamloops.

Each woman and child who stays at the 23-bed shelter has fled violence of some kind.

The shelter fills basic needs — a roof overhead, warm blankets, food, toiletries and pyjamas — and staff helps navigate complicated court, medical and child-protection systems.

Emotional support is also provided to women and children in need in the form of a home, an ear or even something as simple as a hug.

“It just depends on what their situation is and what they’re dealing with,” Walker said.

This year, 212 women and children have stayed at the shelter, with those 23 beds slept in 4,389 times.

Those numbers are comparable to last year — a busy couple of years, Walker noted, but not the busiest of the more than 35 years the shelter has operated.

Walker said numbers fluctuate based on what’s happening in the world, factors like the economy, but the shelter only touches a fraction of those facing violence.

“We have other programs for women and children and we know some of those, actually quite a lot of those women and children,

have not accessed our services here at the shelter,” Walker said.

Those other services include the Stopping Violence outreach services, a free and confidential service for women who have experienced or are at risk of violence in intimate relationships.

“All of those things impact women and kids, so they don’t just come here and we don’t just deal with violence. You can’t do that,” Walker said.

“You can’t just say, oh well, I’m only going to talk to you about this part of your life because all of the parts of her life impacts all the other parts.”

The shelter’s 30-day-maximum-stay condition is unrealistic, with women and children usually staying at least double that time — sometimes even longer.

Aside from professionals offering help, visitors aren’t allowed, ensuring client safety and confidentiality.

While the location of the shelter is intentionally kept private, those in need of help can call the shelter or visit the website to access services.

“Ask any Yellow Cab driver,” Walker said.

“If you’re a woman, they’ll probably get you here. If you’re a man, they probably won’t.”

If the shelter did not exist, Walker said women and children would be forced out of the city for help.

“Which is super important to know for our community — because we rely on the

MINES ACT

NOTICE OF PROPOSED QUARRY Take notice that Mr. Tim Hall, of Hall Excavating Ltd., has filed with the Chief Inspector of Mines pursuant to Section 10(1) of the Mines Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 293, a proposed mine plan together with a program for the protection and reclamation of the land and water courses related to the proposed quarry located at: The “West ½, Section 5, Township 19, Range 16, West of the sixth Meridian, Kamloops Division of Yale District, located at 3660 Campbell Creek Road”.

Any person affected by or interested in this program has 30 days to make written representation to the Chief Inspector of Mines, Ministry of Energy and Mines, South Central Region, 2nd Floor, 441 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T3. A copy of the proposal is available for viewing at Front Counter BC, 441 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T3.

community,” she said.

The majority of the shelter’s funding comes from B.C. Housing.

While funding has increased in recent years, it’s still not enough to pay all the bills and about $100,000 in annual fundraising is required to make up the difference.

“Christmas Cheer means I have about $10,000 less that I have to raise, which is really great,” Walker said.

The shelter is the lone legacy recipient of the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund, meaning it is guaranteed funding each year.

Campaign dollars go to paying 23 staff members, buying groceries and covering utility bills and other basic operating costs that come with housing nearly two-dozen people at once.

“All of those unsexy things,” Walker said with a laugh.

Being the legacy recipient is also important in raising awareness, she added, “being able to let a really wide, broad number of community members know about us and our services.”

“It means we get support from people who wouldn’t typically think of us or think of supporting us,” she said.

KTW Christmas Cheer donors have also supported the shelter in other ways by donating Christmas gifts.

“We’ve had one woman who brings roses on Valentine’s Day for all the women,” Walker said.

“It was because of Christmas Cheer.”

NATIONAL NEWS

Trudeau says there’s no link between him and foundation PM in hot water over donation, director reportedly quit THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A political controversy over a donation to the foundation bearing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s family name deepened yesterday when one of the directors reportedly quit his post because of the controversy.

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation confirmed former Conservative cabinet minister Chuck Strahl resigned yesterday, effective immediately, one day after his name was raised in defence of a hefty donation the foundation received from a Chinese official who met the prime minister at a private Liberal party fundraiser.

The Globe and Mail reported Strahl, in his resignation letter, wrote he would not allow the Liberals to use his place on the board as justification for their fundraising actions.

Strahl has not responded to a request for comment from The Canadian Press.

The donation to the foundation has been a political thorn for the prime minister all week.

Liberals have defended Trudeau’s appearance at the May fundraiser at a Toronto-area home as being within political fundraising rules, while the opposition parties say Trudeau violated his own ethical standards set out to cabinet minis-

ters that they must avoid even the hint of a conflict of interest in their activities.

Earlier this week, Trudeau defended his appearance at the fundraiser by saying he was trying to entice foreign investment into Canada.

The $1,500-a-plate fundraiser included businessman Zhang Bin, president of the stateapproved China Cultural Industry Association and the president of Toronto-based Shenglin Financial Group Inc., and Shenglin Xian, who was looking for final approval from the Canadian government to operate a domestic branch of Wealth One Bank of Canada after receiving tentative approval from the previous Conservative government.

Bin and a partner, Niu Gensheng, subsequently finalized a $1-million donation to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation and the law faculty at Universite de Montreal.

The foundation is a charitable organization which promotes research in the humanities and social sciences.

Yesterday, Trudeau — speaking in the Liberian capital of Monrovia — said he has not been associated in any formal or informal way with the foundation bearing his father’s name since he was first elected to the House of Commons.

The prime minister said he made the split to show there is a

“tremendous separation’’ between himself and the foundation.

Trudeau pointed to two members of the board of directors — Strahl and former NDP deputy leader Megan Leslie — as assurance the foundation’s operations are separate from anything he does as prime minister or party leader.

A spokeswoman for the foundation said the university first approached the foundation in January 2014 about Zhang and Gensheng’s interest in making a donation to honour Trudeau’s late father and the first formal talks took place in September of that year. Gwenola Appere said negotiations between all three parties took a year and a half and a public signing ceremony was held at the university on June 1 of this year.

Zhang and Gensheng gave the university $750,000 for scholarships, according to a February announcement from the university. The school received a further $50,000 to build a statue of Pierre Elliott Trudeau at the law faculty.

The foundation received the remaining $200,000 to pay for conferences and events starting next year focusing on the evolving role of China in the world and Canada-China relations, Appere said. The donation is to be paid to the foundation in three parts, with the first instalment this past July.

Leitch: ‘The CBC doesn’t need to be reformed, it needs to be dismantled’ THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Conservative leadership hopeful Kellie Leitch is proposing to scrap the CBC if she manages to reach the Prime Minister’s Office.

Leitch, whose leadership campaign made headlines when she proposed screening new immigrants for what she described as “anti-Canadian values,’’ now has the national broadcaster in her sights.

While leadership rival Maxime Bernier

KELLIE LEITCH: Conservative leadership hopeful would quash CBC.

proposed reworking the CBC’s mandate, cutting funding and barring it from selling private advertising, Leitch goes much further.

She said the broad-

caster doesn’t need reform — it needs to be put out of business altogether.

She said it’s unfair private media companies are struggling to stay afloat while the CBC is able to rely on federal subsidies.

Leitch said she would keep parts of the CBC that provide emergency services to remote and rural parts of Canada.

“I strongly disagree with the stance taken by fellow leadership candidate Maxime Bernier and his call for CBC reform,’’ said Leitch, who represents

the riding of SimcoeGrey. “The CBC doesn’t need to be reformed, it needs to be dismantled.’’

She said the media in Canada lacks a level playing field.

“For Canadian democracy to thrive, we need to hear from the different voices in the press,’’ she said in a statement.

“So long as the CBC continues to distort the market by consuming advertising revenues and having its operations underwritten by the taxpayer, the market is uncompetitive.”

‘SHE MAKES US PROUD EVERY DAY’ PACK’S PIGGIN BALANCING SCHOOL, ATHLETICS — AND NOW MOTHERHOOD

ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

Emma Piggin and her four-month-old daughter, Abigail, are regulars at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Emma is the starting point guard for the Thompson Rivers WolfPack, Abigail her biggest fan.

here’s a spot in the crowd Emma Piggin always looks to.

As her name is announced over the PA system, the starting point guard for the Thompson Rivers WolfPack jumps off the bench, runs through a line of cheering teammates and looks to the stands of the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC).

Her parents, Deb and Gord Piggin, are always in the same spot in the blue plastic bleachers. But, this year, Emma’s not just looking for them. She’s looking for Abigail, her new baby girl.

“It’s pretty special,” Emma said, her face lighting up as she talks about her daughter who turned four months old yesterday.

“She has no idea what’s going on, but it’s definitely pretty special.”

Emma never doubted she would play basketball again. Abigail was born on July 24, 2016. A month later, her mother was back on the hardcourt at the TCC, preparing for a regular season that would open on Nov. 4.

There were, of course, challenges. Getting back to playing universitylevel basketball less than a month after having her first child was tough on Emma’s body. She had lost an entire summer of training, conditioning and strength. Sleep is understandably at a premium and her free time — already an oft-sacrificed luxury for student-athletes — is pretty limited.

But Emma said she wouldn’t change a thing. She’s a strong believer that everything happens for a reason.

“It was, of course, a lot of shock when I found out. But it was, ‘No, I’m coming back, no ifs ands or buts. I will make it work,’” she said.

“There were a few people that doubted me — that just made me upset and I wanted to come back even more.”

Emma’s support system in the Tournament Capital is vast — a third-generation Kamloopsian, the 20-year-old has her parents, aunts and uncles, her grandmother, two sisters and years of friends to draw on. They have been quick to offer up babysitting services when Emma needs an afternoon to study or a morning to go to practice. They’re constantly asking for pictures and updates about the newest Piggin.

Emma’s parents have been the biggest supports of all, she said, and count them amongst the group who never doubted their daughter’s return to the hardcourt.

“It’s spectacular. She makes us proud every day. She works hard to do all that,” Deb said, before turning her attention to the relationship between her daughter and new granddaughter.

“She is so loving and kind. It’s funny, there will be times where they’re sitting on her bed and Emma is doing her homework and Abby is just kind of laying across her legs and either sleeping or she takes time to chit-chat with her. She’s totally dedicated and she’s so proud of little Abigail. She’s taking it on with that same passion that she takes on basketball.”

Emma’s teammates see the same joy and passion in her and are amazed at her ability to balance it all.

But, to be fair, most knew that if anyone could juggle life as a new parent and a student athlete, Emma could.

“It’s amazing. It’s so inspiring,” said Michelle Bos, who joined the WolfPack three years ago, the same year as Emma.

“She came back with just so much energy. She’s so committed to the team as well as her new family. It’s just so great to be around her.”

Pack to take on Heat From A21

Wednesday morning was a morning like many others for Emma. It started early, she was tired, but it started with Abigail.

“This morning, we had morning workout and she [Abby] was up at five,” Emma said.

“I was just laying in bed with her and I was like, ‘I really just don’t want to go to practice. I could very easily just sit here and look at you all day and watch you play with your toys.’

She definitely steals your heart.”

Emma and the WolfPack will play host to the UBC-Okanagan Heat this weekend at the TCC. Tipoff is slated for 6 p.m. tonight and 5 p.m. tomorrow.

The Wolves are off to a 1-5 start to the regular season and will have just four more games before the Christmas break. It hasn’t been the ideal beginning, but the team is still trying to find its game, much like Emma said she was when the pre-season started in September.

She found herself — she has started every game, leads the team in shooting percentage and points per game — and now

This morning, we “had morning

After a whirlwind year, Emma looks forward to the future. In a year or two, Abby might have a better grasp of what’s going on in front of her as she sits in the stands at the Tournament Capital Centre.

She’ll be able to cheer and clap as her mom runs up and down the court.

But Emma’s not looking too far forward — she’s enjoying the present, too. Life as a new mom is pretty great.

“I’m just thankful for my family because I really couldn’t do it without them,” Emma said.

“I’m happy to be back.”

basketball team will also be at the Tournament Capital Centre this weekend, with games today at 8 p.m. and tomorrow at 7 p.m.

Like the women, the men are 1-5 on the year, as are the UBCOkanagan Heat.

Thompson Rivers’ men’s and women’s volleyball teams are in Edmonton this weekend, taking on the MacEwan Griffins.

Emma Piggin goes up for a layup in pre-season action against the MacEwan Griffins.

Pats roll into Kamloops MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Undermanned underdogs can be dangerous foes, as the Kamloops Blazers found out on Wednesday at Sandman Centre.

The Spokane Chiefs, without the services of top scorer Kailer Yamamoto, among others, played a sound defensive game and edged the Blazers 3-2, with the home team unable to find its stride all night.

“Spokane came in here and played harder than us tonight,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “They blocked a lot more shots than us. They killed penalties and they scored on their power-play opportunity. Tonight, we got what we deserved.”

If Kamloops plays like it did on Wednesday, it will be run out of its own building tonight by the East Division-leading Regina Pats (16-2-3-0).

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

Regina, the secondranked team in the Canadian Hockey League, will be looking to rebound from a disheartening 5-2 loss on Tuesday to the hometown Prince George Cougars (18-4-2-0), the No. 1-ranked team in the nation.

The Pats have been paced offensively this season by forward Sam Steel, the 18-year-old from Sherwood Park, Alta., who leads the WHL in scoring with 41 points after 19 games, including 17 goals.

Regina has seven players with 20 or more points, including Toronto Maple Leafs’ prospect Adam Brooks, an overage forward who has 33 points in 15 games.

Kamloops can illafford an early defensive-zone breakdown like the one that led to Spokane’s first goal on Wednesday.

Czech Republic import Ondrej Najman capitalized on sloppy play from Kamloops’ defence and beat Blazers’ netminder Connor Ingram 48 seconds into the game.

“We were flat,” Blazers’ 20-year-old forward Matt Revel said on Wednesday night.

“That was pretty much the message from the coaches.

Things were a little sloppy.”

Regina’s strong defence corps is buoyed by the trio of Connor Hobbs, the league’s second-highest scoring defenceman, Chase Harrison, whose plus-28 rating is tops in the league, and Sergey Zborovskiy, who is plus-26 and will likely represent Russia at the World Junior Hockey Championship later this winter.

The Blazers have a standout import of their own.

Rudolfs Balcers corralled a point shot that ricocheted off a Spokane defender and slid it into an open net on Wednesday, the Latvian’s team-leading 15th goal of the campaign.

And the Blazers should have an advantage in the crease tonight.

Connor Ingram’s save percentage of .930 is second-best in the WHL, while Pats’ netminder Tyler Brown has a save percentage of .888 and goals-against average of 3.40.

Garrett Pilon, perhaps the best Blazer among a mostly sorry bunch on Wednesday, sent a seeing-eye wrist shot through a screen and Spokane goaltender Jayden Sittler in second period.

Pilon between Balcers and Deven Sideroff remains one

of the hottest lines in the WHL. Spokane (9-8-4-1) blanketed Kamloops in the third period, halting the Blazers’ winning streak at three games and avenging a 6-4 defeat on home ice on Saturday.

The Blazers’ power play was dismal and unorganized, finishing 0-for-4, while Spokane was 1-for-2.

There was not a big crowd in the building to see Wednesday’s loss, which doubled as captain Collin Shirley’s 300th WHL game.

The announced attendance was 3,259.

“There’s not too much to say,” Shirley said. “It’s a lot easier to play when there’s loud fans and everyone is getting us going, but thanks to the loyal fans that do keep coming out.”

Kamloops (1411-1-0) sits nine points behind the B.C. Division-leading Cougars (18-4-2-0) and one point behind second-place Victoria (14-9-2-0).

“It’s disappointing we haven’t been able to put together a four- or five-game win streak,” Hay told reporters on Wednesday night.

“We needed two points. It’s a close division and points are important.”

STAMPS PLAYING FOR MURDERED TEAMMATE LORI EWING

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Osagie Odiase keeps the light on in Mylan Hicks’ closet. On Hicks’ bed, Odiase has laid out his friend’s Michigan State playbook and neatly folded jersey.

“Every morning before I leave, I go to his room and give a bow and a salute . . . just to show my respect,’’ said Odiase.

“We were close. We were like brothers.’’

Hicks isn’t with the Calgary Stampeders for Sunday’s Grey Cup. He was shot and killed outside a Calgary bar in September at the tender age of 23.

MYLAN HICKS

But his memory is everywhere. It’s in the black No. 31 pin that Odiase wears on his tuque. It’s in the No. 31 jersey the Stampeders will hang in the lockerroom Sunday before they run onto BMO Field. It’s in the players’ hearts.

“The energy is crazy now,’’ Odiase said, when asked how Hicks’ death galvanized the Stampeders.

“It just gave it a huge spurt. You could tell from the beginning to the end, once Mylan passed away, everybody just came together. You could feel it when you walked into the locker-room.

“Everybody know what we are playing for this year. Obviously, the Grey Cup, but we are also playing for No. 31, too.’’

The Stampeders (15-2-1) aren’t just considered heavy favourites to beat the Ottawa Redblacks (8-9) on Sunday, but a team of destiny.

In Calgary’s 48-23 win over B.C. in last Sunday’s West Division Final, halfback Jamar Wall ran an intercep-

tion back to put the Stampeders ahead 31-0. After Hicks’ death, Wall had switched his jersey number from 29 to 31 to honour the late player.

“It was my first time making a play in the number,’’ Wall said.

“Wearing 31.

Scoring the 31st point.

I’m a very religious guy. I always feel like he’s with us. If that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is.’’

Hicks was in his first CFL season and on Calgary’s practice roster and was celebrating with teammates following a 36-34 home win over Winnipeg when he was shot during an altercation at a

Calgary nightclub.

A 19-year-old man was charged with second-degree murder.

There’s no playbook for dealing with a death, said Stampeder coach Dave Dickenson.

“It was tough, it was,’’ Dickenson said.

“It’s just one of those situations not that any of us think about it. You don’t think . . . it shouldn’t happen, super sad that it did happen.”

And a victory on Sunday?

“It’s going to be great,’’ Odiase said.

“It’s going to be the cherry on top. It’s going to everything that we hope for and what we have been playing for.’’

Rhebergen, Wood win win BC Athletics awards Two Kamloops Track and Field Club athletes were recognized at the BC Athletics annual awards banquet at the Hilton Hotel in Richmond last weekend.

Margaret Rhebergen was named the female masters field athlete of the year.

In 2016, Rhebergen broke nine provincial masters’ records, including in the W60 (60- to 64-year-old) triple jump, long jump and high jump, along with outdoor records in the W60 triple jump, long jump and pentathlon.

She also broke B.C. masters’ records in the indoor 60-metre dash and 60-metre hurdles, and outdoor 80-metre hurdles.

In W60 world rankings, Rhebergen is fifth in triple jump and 10th in high jump.

Bryson Wood, who placed first in hammer throw with a toss of 43.54 metres at the Dylan Armstrong Classic event in Kamloops in May, was recognized with a Midget 14 Male Award.

FAITH

Power and leadership in a Trump era

N

ow that Donald Trump is about to be ensconced in the White House, the world waits with bated breath for what use, misuse or abuse of power he will let loose during the next four years of his reign.

Abuse of power is a huge concern (or should be so) to those in leadership and to those affected by it.

History is full of unfortunate miseries resulting from the misuse of power by an individual leader or by groups of people in positions of authority.

Because of said concern, many leaders are afraid to talk about it.

They deny and pretend they possess very little of it.

Simon Walker, quoting Michael Foucault, emphasized that power is always

NARAYAN MITRA

You gotta have

FAITH

exercised in any situation and, therefore, the most dangerous kind of power is the unacknowledged power.

When it goes underground and when it is not recognized and owned, power becomes a liability — just as dynamite turns dangerous unless it is handled carefully.

Walker, citing from Understanding Organizations by the management guru Charles Handy, says there are many kinds

of power and everyone has power of some kind.

He talks of five: The power of personality, resource, experience, expertise and position.

The Old Testament figure, Boaz, was a person who used his position and power for empowering others.

He was a wealthy man and had high standing in society (Ruth 2:1).

He used his position for affirming the worth of others instead of suppressing and oppressing.

He greeted his servants every morning with “The Lord be with you” (Ruth 2:4), which is unusual for rich landlords to use as an expression to greet them.

When Boaz met Ruth, a young woman working among his labourers, he did not disdain her but addressed her as “my daughter” (Ruth 2:8),

which depicts his utmost respect for others.

Boaz used his power for protecting dignity of others rather than destroying.

Following the tradition of the day, Naomi sent her daughterin-law Ruth to Boaz’s threshing floor.

When Ruth requested him to let her lie at his feet, Boaz could have exploited the situation to his own benefits. By making such a request, Ruth had factually conveyed her submission to him.

As a lone young woman, she was susceptible. But instead of abusing her, Boaz showed her kindness by allowing her to lie at his feet without taking advantage of her.

He used his power for honouring the customary practices for common good instead of taking advantage of a situation for

personal gain.

As a kinsman redeemer, he could have manipulated his influence over the family. But being a kind person with dignity, he let the nearer kinsmanredeemer decide the redemption of the family.

Some years ago, The New York Times published a touching tribute in honour of the late Sir Edmund Hillary titled When a Mountaintop Might as Well Have Been the Moon.

What made Hillary an icon was he was not just another daring and darling man attempting to do what others had tried to do and failed.

Hillary’s valour is not defined by that one victorious ascent on Mount Everest but rather with what he did with his life thereafter.

He was no sahib who came, conquered and left, having had his

adventure in the hills.

He established and sustained a lasting bond with the Sherpa people of Nepal and was occupied in shaping their lives through his Himalayan Trust.

The Trust constructed hospitals, schools, airfields and medical facilities.

That he was not a condescending white man who dictated development is evident even in the midst of a politically resurgent, nationalistic Nepal.

Upon hearing the news of his death, the sherpas lit lamps and offered prayers in Buddhist monasteries for his reincarnation.

The most dangerous kind of a person is the one with a great deal of power who denies he has any, or who denies that power is a fundamental factor in his leadership role.

All of us, more so those in leadership responsibilities, have

power or are stewards of power.

Let us not deny or pretend we as leaders have no power.

Instead, let us acknowledge in humility all of us have power and are stewards of that power.

Let us make the exercise of power explicit and accountable.

Let me conclude by asking some relevant questions: Do we use Godgiven position and power of leadership as stewards of power for upholding others?

Do we affirm others’ worth, protect their dignity, and uphold customs and cultures that promote the common good?

Or, do we use power to promote our personal agendas and use others as means for accomplishing this? ryanmitra225@gmail. com

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Obituaries & In Memoriam James Edward (“Ted”) Smith

Vincenzo Canonico

April 8, 1933 – September 15, 2016

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

August 17, 1944 - November 13, 2016

Vince Canonico, 72, passed away on November 13, 2016 in Kamloops, BC surrounded by his loving family.

He is survived by his wife Tina, his children Gina (Brian), Moss (Michelle), Stefanie (Eugenio) and grandchildren Joel, Maia, Simona and Ezio.

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, long-time fishing partner and friend Bill Campbell 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), Valerie Deacon 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.

First Memorial Funeral Service

It with great sadness and loving memories that Ruby’s family announces her peaceful passing on Wednesday, November 16th, 2016 at Royal Inland Hospital after a long struggle with chronic heart disease and with three of her nieces by her side.

She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews and in-laws, grandnieces and nephews, two greatgreat-grand nieces and one great-great grandniece/ nephew that she did not get to meet.

Ruby was predeceased by both her parents Francis and Catherine Gagné and all her siblings John, Marguerite, Gwynneth, David, Sylvia, Donald, Madaline and Michael.

Ruby was born in Kamloops on June 21st, 1937. She had a very happy childhood growing up on a small farm in North Kamloops. There was never a dull moment in the family home between older siblings dating, getting married or becoming parents and younger siblings needing care and attention. She graduated from St Ann’s Academy in 1955. She then trained as a nurse’s aide in Victoria and worked at both St. Joseph’s and Royal Jubilee hospitals. It was during this time that she met and roomed with Doris and the two became lifelong “sisters”. Ruby moved to Winnipeg to work at St. Boniface Sanatorium before enlisting and working as a Medical Assistant with the RCAF at Rockcliffe, Ottawa. In May 1959, she was stationed as a Leading Airwoman in France serving her Country until August 14, 1961. During this time, she made many friends as she travelled around Europe in her sporty little Renault.

In July 1961, she returned to Canada and was honourably discharged. She then moved to Winnipeg where she worked as a medical receptionist until 1963. She continued this career in Calgary. During the next two decades, she travelled around Canada and the USA, always making time to visit with family and friends.

Although she never had children of her own, over the years, she contributed generously to raising many of her nieces.

Time spent with all his very close friends and acquaintances especially over these last few years will not be forgotten by Vince or his family. He would rearrange his schedule and drop everything to spend time with everyone who wanted to visit. You all brought a big smile to his face and your visits stayed with him long after you had gone home.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Pretorius, Dr. Montgomery and all the amazing, caring nurses and respiratory therapists on 4N at R.I.H. As per Vince’s request, a private family service was held on November 18th, 2016.

Should friends desire, in lieu of flowers, a donation may be made for a memorial bench in Vince’s name at any Royal Bank of Canada Branch, (account number 03520-003-504818-6).

Ruby Elaine Gagné

Vince was born on August 17, 1944 in Lago, Cosenza, Italy. There he developed a love of the outdoors which included hunting, fishing and gardening. He learned the art of making salami and wine which he continued to perfect throughout the course of his life. Vince also spent some of his earlier years working in Germany. In 1975, with the help of his brother Sergio, he brought his family to Ottawa, Ontario where they spent five wonderful years there reconnecting with many close family and friends. In May 1980, he moved his family to Kamloops. He worked for CN Rail for many years and retired as a welder. In retirement, Vince really got to enjoy his hobbies again which included the outdoors. His “green thumb” was the envy of many as seen in his garden, lawn and orchard. He was a master pruner of trees and many friends benefited from his skill. He enjoyed many bocce games at home and as a long time member at the Colombo Lodge. Vince was an avid walker for many years and could be seen walking every morning at McArthur Island Park, rain or shine. Some of Vince’s cherished memories include mushroom picking, cod fishing at night, overnight hunting trips and completing his prized cantina and cold room. He was a man of many talents and for this he will be truly missed by all his family and friends.

Vince was dearly loved by his siblings Pina, Maria, Franco, Iole, Sergio and Silvana along with their families. “Zio” will be missed by his many nieces and nephews in both Italy and Ottawa, Ontario. He is also survived by his in-laws, nieces, nephews and a host of long time friends in Kamloops. He was predeceased by his parents Silvio and Luigina.

The next phase of her life started in High River where she established and operated Ruby’s Fashions, a highend women’s clothing store. She was a well-respected business woman known for always telling her customers the truth about what looked good on people and what did not! During these years she garnered quite a reputation as a hostess with her famous Christmas parties where no one left without a gift. Ruby had a passion and great talent for home renos. She was a skillful interior decorator and also handy with many crafts, particularly needlepoint, quilting and sewing. Anyone who knew Ruby knew that when she moved into a new place, she would completely redecorate it, up to and including her final home at the Shores.

In the last years of her work life she kept busy running a successful housekeeping company. She continued this until she returned to Kamloops in 2005 to be closer to her remaining siblings and their families, purchasing a house on the same street she grew up on. In the latter part of her life Ruby formed close relationships with a group of friends from South America and she travelled several times to Chile and Peru as well as hosting her Chilean friends in her Kamloops home.

Ruby was a loving sister who helped almost all of her siblings on their final journey and as predicted by her oldest sister, she was the last to leave.

The family thanks the competent and caring staff at Royal Inland Hospital especially those in the ICU for helping all of us during this difficult time.

The Funeral Mass for Aunt Ruby will be Celebrated by Monsignor Desmond on Monday, November 28, 2016 at 10:30 at St. John Vianney Church on Bank Road in Westyde. Burial will take place next summer in Alberta.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada or a charity of your choice in Ruby’s name.

This above all: to thine own self be true.

The Angel on Your Shoulder

transported back to the Enterprise

Her Journey’s Just Begun

by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun.

Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years.

Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away.

And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Thompson Rivers University Actor’s Workshop actors rehearse a scene from the upcoming play, Uncommon Women and Others. From left: Jane Harestad, Hannah Allen, Kayly Erno, Stephanie Tremblay, Ashley Hiibner, Kelsey Launier and Chanelle Renee.

Art that speaks for the voices that have been silenced DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

S

everal days ago, some long, sad faces greeted Wes Eccleston as he arrived for rehearsal.

“We had a talk,” the theatre-arts teacher at Thompson Rivers University said. “And I told them how important it is now to make art that says the right thing.

“We have to speak for the voices that have been silenced or have the potential to be silenced now.”

He suspects the play the cast was about to rehearse will help address that need.

Uncommon Women and Others is the first play Wendy Wasserstein wrote. It began as her masters thesis in 1975, when she was a student at Yale University and made its way to an Off-Broadway theatre two years later.

Set in the 1970s, it’s a coming-of-age play, Eccleston said, with alumnae of an allwomen college getting together for lunch and reminiscing about their time together at the college. That leads to flashbacks of

how each engaged with what is known as second-wave feminism, the militancy and determination not focused on suffrage but on the issues that came later — equal rights, inequalities, working, family, legal inequities and reproductive rights, among many others.

Ashley Hiibner, who plays Muffet DeNicola, said that by now, the women’s movement should be in its fifth wave but, rather than progressing to that point, “we’ve been pushed back to the second wave.”

She sees the play as multi-faceted but

that one of the messages address social roles and whether women are going to slide back into the way their foremothers were “or get in and fight.”

The characters reflect the challenge. Kelsey Launier, for example, plays Samantha, a young woman who has lived a sheltered life and thinks going to college will help her find a husband.

“The other women there open her eyes to the world and show her what she has to offer,” Launier said.

Director calls play serendipitous in light of Donald Trump election

JEAN RUSSELL

KELOWNA CAPITAL NEWS

M

arty Edwards has something critically important to say.

It helps that he’s a great singer and can get up on stage to spread the word, with music to lighten the mood and a show in Kamloops on Wednesday, Nov. 30.

Edwards has traveled across North America and Down Under with his Kenny Rogers tribute act.

He not only sounds like Rogers, he’s the spitting image when dressed for the stage.

He’s also been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. The first signs came early August when he was preparing for a tour to Australia.

“I was feeling a bit tired, which I put down to getting old,” the 66-year-old Edwards said.

His regular check-up and blood work looked fine, but his doctor talked him in to doing the FIT test — an analysis of fecal matter.

“A lot of guys say, ‘Ah I don’t want to mess around with that,’ but this time I did it.”

The test came back showing two things: He was anemic and there was a little trace of blood in the stool, so small he had never noticed it.

“He told me to eat red meat a couple of times a week, gave me an iron supplement and booked a colonoscopy,” Edwards said.

That was carried out in January of this year with a doctor who keeps his patients awake during the procedure. Edwards watched on-screen as the camera threaded through his intestines.

From B1

Eccleston didn’t know the play before. He learned of it when another student, Hannah Allen, brought it to him.

Allen, who plays Kate, discovered the plays

by Wasserstein while working on an assignment to design a theatre season “and I fell in love with them.”

She sees in Wasserstein a playwright whose works “are both realistic and honest, entertainment but important. They look at important issues, things that need to be talked about.”

Stephanie Tremblay plays Carter, a withdrawn woman. She said she loves the play because of the way the women reflect on their time at the college and where their lives went afterward.

For Jane Harestad, who plays the cheerleader/ organizer Susie, the play should resonate with today’s students, as well, “because we also have to figure out what we’re doing, what is right for us.”

CJ Renee has the role of Mrs. Plumm, the housemother for the students and a woman determined to teach them social niceties and how to be gracious and polite. She said she loves the fact it’s an all-female cast, the strength of the script and the way it confronts the impact of feminism on the women.

Eccleston called it serendipitous that he chose the play for this year’s Actors Workshop Theatre season to be performed right after the election of Donald Trump in the U.S. It’s not the first time world events and Eccleston’s play choices have merged; for last year’s season, he chose The Love of the Nightingale, a play that confronts power, victimization and sexual assault. It was presented in February when media were focused on the trial of former CBC star Jian Gomeshi.

“This is an important play right now,” Eccleston said of Uncommon Women, and presenting it might in a small way “help us find our way.”

It’s something the artistic community does, he added. When the world looks scary and unpredictable, some of the strongest artistic statements are often made.

For Wasserstein, the play’s birth came from her own years at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. She once said she was disappointed that, while studying there, she was never assigned plays by female playwrights and no female directors were ever present at the school.

The play opens at the university’s Black Box Theatre on Dec. 1 and continues to Dec. 3, and from Dec. 8 to Dec. 10.

Tickets are at the university box office in the Old Main Building next to the theatre.

They can also be bought at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Peachland’s Marty Edwards as Kenny Rogers and Wendy T, from Pigeon Forge Tennessee, as Dolly Parton.

The duo will be performing at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre on Wenesday, Nov. 30.

Then he started hearing some things you never want a doctor to say. “‘Wow,’ he kept saying, and ‘Oh! See that?

That’s cancer.’”

The colonoscopy found three cancerous growths in different regions of his colon and 40 to 50 polyps, something it turns out Edwards is genetically prone to produce.

Polyps have the potential to become cancerous if not treated.

“If you get it right away, they can nip it out before they turn to cancer,” Edwards said.

He figures if he had gone through with the screening when he was in his 50s, none of those polyps would have had a chance to turn into cancer and threaten his life.

Yet today, he

feels lucky.

The cancers had not metastasized outside the walls of his colon.

His surgery, though it set him back with eight weeks of sometimes painful and uncomfortable recovery, was a complete success.

And now he’s back on stage, cancelled gigs rebooked, but this time with a cause.

“I’m an evangelist for early detection,” Edwards said from his home in Peachland.

“The key to this whole thing is to have early awareness. Colon cancer can be cured if you catch it early enough.

“I wanted people to know I’m back and also to raise an awareness.

I’ve got friends who have colon or colorectal cancer that I never knew about because

they never talked about it. I’m totally the opposite — I want people to know.”

Edwards’ producer and on-stage partners are behind his efforts to bring awareness. And part of the proceeds from every show will go to the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

Performing with Edwards in shows throughout the Interior are “not just some of the best musicians in the Okanagan and Canada, but internationally,” he said.

“I’ve worked with a lot of musicians around the world. I’d never work with anyone else.”

That also goes for Dolly, a.k.a. Wendy T, whose hometown is Pigeon Forge, Tenn., home of Dollywood, country singer Dolly Parton’s Appalachianthemed park.

“I’ve had offers for other tours with other Dolly’s, but I just say no,” Edwards said. “We have a great rapport, real chemistry.”

Wendy T brings Dolly Parton’s persona and music to life, then does a quick change to bring the music, looks and personality of Reba McEntire to the stage.

For the ThompsonOkanagan shows, expect the greatest hits from Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire, as well as a few Christmas classics.

The Nov. 30 show at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre begins at 7:30 p.m. For tickets, call 888-790-1477 or go online to etixnow.com.

The duo will also be performing on Nov. 26 in Penticton, Nov. 28 in Vernon and Nov. 29 in Kelowna.

Finalists named last night for Mayor’s Gala for the Arts awards Kamloops may be known as the Tournament Capital of Canada but it has a vibrant arts and community scene that continues to grow — a reality that is reflected in the nominees and finalists for the Mayor’s Gala for the Arts awards.

The nominees and finalists for the emerging artist award, for example, include an array of young talents who are finding their way in their disciplines and making an impact on the cultural fabric of the city.

Nominations come from the public for the annual awards. This year, the list for emerging arts — restricted to ages 18 to 35 — include graphic designer and photographer Kelsey Gwynne, artist and co-founder of

Art market moves indoors to Sahali Mall for winter

T

he Kamloops Artisan Winter market is under-

way.

A group of local artisans and home-based businesses are showing and selling their work at Sahali Mall every Saturday until spring.

Sahali mall is no stranger to markets.

Over the years, it has opened its doors to many community events and conferences in a beautiful warm environment with plenty of free parking.

“Sahali Mall has been a part of the community for almost 40 years,” Sahali Mall manager Tara Swain said.

“We are happy to help out with fundraisers and events that are community minded and proud of the great local businesses that we have here in the mall.

Shopping local and helping local is what we strive for.”

It is that open and strong community awareness that is keeping small business alive in Kamloops.

Greed and territorial thinking are no longer popular or relevant in today’s consumer economy — it’s just not cool.

People are changing. They are becoming more aware of where products come from and want to deal with members of their own community when shopping.

Given the choice, most consumers would rather spend their

EDGE

money in ways that keep it right here in Kamloops.

Small home-based businesses are creating a new shopping paradigm.

Their production costs are less and they can bring savings to the consumer.

Many vendors participating in markets have nowhere else to sell work, other than online.

For many businesses, the market stall is becoming the new store front. And why not?

When people come together, communities come together.

When we pool resources, we all become stronger in so many different and positive ways.

Artists have known this for a long time.

Artist collectives created some of the most amazing art movements in history.

They continue to thrive and grow across the world, even in this little pocket of the world — Kamloops.

Many artists are showing work at the Artisan Winter Market this year.

I have featured a few of them, but it’s important to come out and see them all to get a feel of arts and crafts.

Donna Vanderlip is showing her beautiful pottery.

Some may remember her work because she had many of her pieces in the Artisan Market downtown this summer.

The talented local potter creates clean line forms that are both sculptural and functional.

Her pieces have a modernist feel that verges on sublime.

Our photographer Dave Bennewith is displaying his collection of fantastic wildlife and landscape photography.

Bennewith sees art as it happens.

He catches it for us with a finely tuned artist’s eye and turns it into a breathtaking form of realism.

Lani Durrant creates organic wire sculptural jewelry using an assortment of semi-precious stones and sea glass.

Her pieces reflect the organic connection to the earth and many of her natural crystals reportedly have beneficial properties for the mind and the soul.

I am also taking part, showing my new line of painted jewelry.

They are dazzling miniature one-of-a-kind

Cheer Fund

aving moved to the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Region in 1984, Chris Harris’ dream to explore new lands took him into his own backyard, traversing the region’s two mountain ranges, plateau of grasslands, lakes, ancient volcanoes and coastline rich in natural and cultural history.

In his new book, the award-winning photographer shares 30 years of capturing the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast — a 2.5-million-hectare area larger than Belgium — with a remote biodiversity few have had the privilege to know.

This vast area is now protected as the “Chilcotin Ark,” holding an incredible 10 distinct bio-geoclimatic zones.

The Kamloops Photo Arts Club and Thompson Rivers University’s biological sciences department are co-sponsoring a multimedia slideshow and launch of Harris’ book, British Columbia’s Cariboo Chilcotin Coast: A Photographer’s Journey, on Friday, Dec. 2, at 7 p.m. in the TRU Alumni Theatre at the Clocktower Building.

The book is Harris’ 13th, offering a portrait of the men and women who, over three decades, fought for protection of the complex wilderness environment of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Region.

The book is replete with images sharing Harris’ passion, his search for beauty and his knack for visual narratives and a strong sense of place.

To view his work or to learn more, go online to chrisharris.com.

Admission to the event is free, but guests are asked to bring donations for the TRU Student Food Bank and the Kamloops Food Bank.

Knox returns to Kamloops, where his career began Columnist, humour writer will be at Chapters Wednesday DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

To Move or Not To Move

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

hen Jack Knox was a kid living in Kamloops, his dad bought him Space Age, Go Home!, a book by Vancouver humour columnist Eric Nicol.

“I loved that book,” said Knox who, in many ways followed in the footsteps of Nicol, becoming a newspaper columnist and humour writer.

“I delivered newspapers in Dallas and I can remember one man who was fuming because, he said, his paper was late and ‘there you were, sitting in the snowbank, reading Eric Nicol in my newspaper’,” Knox said as he chuckled at the memory.

The Victoria Times Colonist writer is heading back to the city he called home for years and where he started his career as a 19-yearold at the Kamloops Daily News, stopping at Chapters bookstore on Wednesday, Nov. 30 to sign copies of his first book, Hard Knox: Musings From the Edge of Canada.

JACK KNOX: Wrote Hard Knox: Musings from the Edge of Canada.

He described it as a humorous book written from the perspective of life on Vancouver Island, a place he called the last refuge of the disconnected.

He’s called the Island home for 28 years, but added there are some moments of life in Kamloops in the book, as well.

Writing a book is different from reporting, editing or writing

a newspaper column, Knox said.

For example, he’s had many moments when he “bolted upright in bed at three in the morning and realized what I wrote and what I should have written, but it was too late.

“With a book, you still can get a do-over, there’s that luxury” to the writing process.

On the other hand,

as someone used to writing on deadline, he had to impose his own in order to keep moving forward with the book.

While his publisher wasn’t expecting the manuscript for some time, Knox would set a deadline of getting a chapter done by the end of the week.

Knox described his view of writing to something akin to chopping wood — you don’t necessarily like doing it, but when it’s going well, “I love it.”

Curiosity took him into the world of the media, he said, and he remembers Kamloops as “always a good news town. The media there has always punched above its weight.”

Knox will be at Chapters at 1:30 p.m.

Eye on the media

Bernier wants CBC to stick to public-affairs programming OTTAWA — Conservative leadership hopeful Maxime Bernier wants the CBC to refocus its mandate with fewer cooking shows, sporting events and Canadian knockoffs of popular U.S. programs.

The Quebec MP said the Crown corporation should stick to its mandate by upgrading public-affairs programming, and not just from Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa.

Bernier said the CBC should stop doing three-quarters of what it currently does — which private

broadcasters already do — and concentrate on those areas that it’s best suited to handle.

Bernier also sug-

gests modifying the Broadcasting Act to get the CBC out of running advertising, moving toward the U.S. fund-

ing models of PBS or NPR, which are partly financed by public donations and foundations.

A Bernier-run Conservative government would cancel the $150 million annual boost to CBC funding introduced by the governing Liberals, bringing public financing for the network to about $1 billion.

Just before Bernier’s announcement, fellow Tory leadership rival Brad Trost used Twitter to call for the broadcaster to be privatized.

Animated shorts hoping for Oscar nod, nominations to be announced in January

Negative reviews flood Amazon in light of Fox News anchor’s recent memoir

LOS ANGELES — Four animated short films with Canadian ties are a step closer to Oscar nominations. Blind Vaysha, produced by the National Film Board of Canada, and The Head Vanishes, coproduced by the NFB, have made the short list for consideration for the 89th Academy Awards.

Also on the list is Pear Cider and Cigarettes, directed by Robert Valley of Vancouver, and Piper, helmed by Alan Barillaro of Niagara Falls, Ont. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and

Supporters of President-elect Donald Trump have flooded Amazon with negative reviews of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly’s new memoir.

The Los Angeles Times reports more than 100 negative reviews of Kelly’s Settle For More appeared on the online retail giant’s site within hours of its release Tuesday.

The newspaper reports many of the negative comments came from a link from a pro-Trump Reddit forum.

Filmmaker Spike Lee being sued NEW YORK — Filmmaker Spike Lee and his companies are being sued by the directors of three union benefit plans who contend he didn’t make sufficient health and pension contributions.

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday against Lee, Forty Acres and a Mule Filmworks and Black Butterfly Productions.

It claims an audit found nearly $45,000 in unpaid contributions between September 2007 and March 2010.

The suit said Lee controlled Black Butterfly, a signatory to collective bargaining agreements, and treated its assets, which include the 2008 film, Miracle at St. Anna, as

SPIKE LEE: Filmmaker being sued by directors.

his own while failing to pay its debts.

“Despite multiple demands, Black Butterfly has failed to pay the claims asserted by the Plans. Black Butterfly refuses, and continues to refuse, to pay the amounts due for unpaid contribu-

tions disclosed by the audit,’’ the lawsuit says.

The plaintiffs manage plans for the American Federal of Musicians, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Studio Transportation Drivers.

They are seeking all unpaid damages, interest, audit costs and legal fees.

Lee is a writer, director and actor. His films include Do the Right Thing, and Malcolm X. His most recent movie, Chi-Raq, is about gun violence in Chicago.

A message left with Forty Acres wasn’t immediately returned.

TRAIPSING TERENGGANU JANE CASSIE SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

W

here the heck is Kuala Terengganu?

Although it took me only a few hours to get my bearings in this quintessentially Malaysian fishing town, I still have yet to say it correctly.

With or without the proper pronunciation, it’s well worth the visit.

Malaysia’s state of Terengganu caresses the country’s east coast and is blessed with a wealth of natural treasures ranging from exotic beaches to lush tropical groves.

The South China Sea washes up onto its 225 kilometers of sandy shores. Centrally perched is the coastal capital of Kuala Terengganu.

Sandwiched between the Terengganu River and the deep blue sea is the emergence of the city’s slow growing hub.

In spite of the occasional high rise, the pace remains at a plod and the people are polite.

“There’s very little crime here,” our guide, Raja, reassures. “No pick-pocketing, just peace-loving,” he chuckles, with a grin.

Our first stop, while traipsing the hotspots, is the Pasar Payang (central market), where every square inch is crammed with textiles and handicrafts.

“Bartering is totally expected,” Raja pre-warns. “Thirty per cent off the marked price is possible and 40 is a steal. If you smile you may even get more.”

We tromp the pencil thin corridors where dazzling silks, songkets (fabric for wedding gear), brasswares and rattan spill from vendor stalls, then mosey around mounds of mangoes, papaya and indigenous prickly-skinned durian that emit a pungent scent.

“Tastes like heaven, smells like hell,” we are told by a man old enough to be my great grandfather.

Sweat glistens on his prune-

wrinkled face as his machete whacks the porcupine-like fruit in half to reveal a tasty treasure.

Crossing streets in Malaysia’s busier cities can be a bit like playing Russian Roulette, but we discover the three-block jaunt from this bargain lover’s bazaar to Chinatown haunts is literally a breeze.

Ancient shophouses teeter like drunken soldiers while hugging up to alleyways no wider than glorified bike paths. And beneath their dominating colonial archways are shuttered windows that peer onto hoards of historical relics.

Ho Ann Kiong Temple is one of the alluring artifacts we explore.

Beneath a pagoda-shaped roof, the intricately carved shrine is aglow with small lights and vibrant red lanterns.

Here, incense burns and prayer is received. Although the temple has required rebuilding over the years, it has exemplified the Chinese culture since its original structure in 1801.

Another lesson in history is provided during our visit to the Terengganu State Museum.

The complex sprawls over 27 lush hectares and takes the prize for being one of the largest in South East Asia.

Pathways lead to maritime and fisheries archives and traditional houses where we glimpse into lifestyles from the past.

The focal point, though, is the museum’s main building and behind its stilted Islamic exterior are 10 unique galleries showcasing everything from historical crafts to contemporary arts.

Although the goods are great for gawking at, there’s no haggling here for homebound presents.

A few kilometres away at the Sutera Semai Centre, more opportunities wait in store.

Metres of detailed fabrics scallop the ceiling like colourful schooner sails and beneath the billowing swathes artists are hard at work in a design process that has stood the test of time.

pencil,” we are told, “and after being traced with wax, the dye is applied.”

Although the craft of batik is much more complex than paint by number, artists have the proficient knack of quickly transforming a bolt of raw silk into florally patterned shirts, scarves and handkerchiefs.

We can’t escape without purchasing at least one of each.

Our final stop and high point of the day, is the 200-metre hike to the historical Bukit Puteri fortress, where we’re provided with a panorama encompassing the city limits and outlying tropical islets.

Kuala Terengganu is a destination offering a wealth of culture, a variety of landscapes and fine shopping.

And after a day of traipsing the hot spots we discover, it’s definitely worth a visit.
