Kamloops RCMP issues cease and desist letter to local dispensary ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A

marijuana dispensary that drew the ire of residents living above its Aberdeen store front is no more — and Kamloops RCMP say other pot shops in the city should prepare for a period of apparent tolerance to come to an end.

A note affixed to the front door of Canna Clinic on Hillside Drive says the store closed on Aug. 1 “due to unforeseen circumstances.”

Calls and emails to the store went unanswered but RCMP Staff Sgt. Simon Pillay confirmed to KTW police sent the shop a cease and desist letter in July after receiving a barrage of calls from the public. Complaints from residents included drug consumption on the property, illegal drug sales and claims that thefts from vehicles and garages were on the rise, though Pillay said the latter is difficult to prove.

“In this particular case, we decided let’s give them a warning letter that explains the laws because we’ve spoken to a lot of people — even employees at some dispensaries — who are oblivious to what the actual laws are,” he said.

“So we thought, in the spirit of reasonableness, let’s start with a letter explaining what laws they’re breaking and giving them an opportunity to rectify that before we come in.”

With the shop permanently closed a short time later, Pillay said the tactic seems to have

worked and RCMP are looking at taking action against other storefront dispensaries in town, some of which have been operating for more than a year.

Laissez-faire enforcement comes to an end

Until now, there’s been little enforcement of dispensaries in the city, either from police or the city of Kamloops.

That’s in part due to the federal government’s plans to legalize the drug — which should happen some time next year — and the questions whichThe remainResort about how marijuana will be sold, grown and distributed in that new reality.

“It’s a very challenging situation where you have a grey area because of the way legislation is rolling out federally,” said Acting Mayor Arjun Singh.

It’s a very challenging situation “where you have a grey area because

of the way legislation is rolling out — ACTING MAYOR ARJUN SINGH federally.

”

Jones said the city is still waiting on legal advice as to whether it should look at taking on the dispensaries for operating without business licenses. Because selling marijuana remains illegal — if only until next year — the city has refused to issue licenses to the stores.

City councillors have resisted Canada Series calls for regulations on where Park Model Homes the dispensaries can set up shop that would mirror bylaws in Vancouver or Penticton. While requests have come from neighbours up in arms about new operations — as was the case for Canna Clinic — Singh said council has met with a dispensary owner who wanted to see the city Proudly made in to Canadian Standards

create rules that would allow him to operate more legitimately.

“We decided not to go down that route and part of it is we don’t want to redo [the rules] again in 2018,” said Singh, who predicts municipalities will have much work to do once the federal and provincial government have created their regulations.

“There’s a whole bunch of work that has to be done around how to regulate it and what are the right locations,” he said.

“What are the buffers from a school from a liquor store and so on. That’s what we have to figure out as an institution.”

Kamloops lawyer predicts growth in marijuana retail CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The crackdown on dispensaries may have started, but legitimate businesses are poised to open their doors in Kamloops when the real green rush begins.

Kamloops lawyer and Chamber of Commerce past president Ryan Scorgie is positioning himself to be part of the big business that will inevitably boom once the federal government legalizes recreational cannabis by July next year.

Scorgie has already travelled to Colorado — where marijuana is legal and is a booming business — travelled to conferences and is preparing to assist B.C.’s new provincial government to draft laws and regulations to control the distribution and retailing of marijuana.

“From a legal perspective it’s extremely interesting . . . .,” he said. “I see a whole new business we’ve never had.”

Scorgie is already working with several groups pursuing a licensed producer designation under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes law, a process that can cost $250,000 and take several years to push through federal bureaucracy.

He also has clients who operate dispensaries. But his message to them is clear: He can help incorporate them and assist with tax and other business law but can’t tell them to break the law by

THE BUD BIZ So you want to open Kami Cannabis but don’t want your new venture to include a ride to Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre?

Ryan Scorgie has some advice.

It’s the same advice the lawyer and Kamloops Chamber of Commerce past president has been giving to business contacts: Get your buds in a row for when the federal government’s cannabis legislation comes into effect by July next year.

While provincial regulations are unlikely to be ready, Scorgie predicts enforcement at that point is more likely to be in the manner of administrative fines rather than criminal charges.

Scorgie said budding entrepreneurs have several opportunities to prepare: • obtain a security clearance under the current Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes legislation (something that in extreme circumstances can take 24 months); • get financing in place; • make business connections with current licenced producers, who will be the legal suppliers under the new regime; • research zoning and municipal laws and insurance availability on your chosen lease location so the city doesn’t object when you open the doors; • get advertising and branding ready.

“Once it’s legal you’ll see business leaders step forward and say ‘I’m interested in this industry. I’m happy to come out of the shadows.’ The industry will need that.”

While every entrepreneur deals with risk, Scorgie also advises those who seek out his counsel they may find themselves on the outside looking in when the province brings out its licensing scheme.

“Think about the risk if starting a business up. You may invest money and you may never get a licence.”

— Cam Fortems, KTW

opening a dispensary.

“Under Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes, there’s no dispensary rules,” Scorgie said. “There’s no licence.”

Operators like Canna Clinic, which shuttered on Tuesday following a warning letter from RCMP, are operating under a grey area created by a Supreme Court of Canada decision in early 2016, which ruled patients must have access to a variety and

stable supply.

Scorgie said today’s licensed producers, including Aphria and Canopy Growth, cannot guarantee supply to patients and may not have a particular strain required by patients.

“It’s like going to the pharmacy and sometimes they have your drugs and sometimes they don’t,” he said.

That’s allowed some dispensaries to continue operation here.

But city RCMP, alarmed

by the proliferation, is starting targeted enforcement.

But that will change

by July next year, when the federal government’s new marijuana legislation is expected to take effect.

It will make legal possession of marijuana for sale and consumption as well as permit growing up to four plants.

The federal laws will not set out regulations for distribution and retailing of marijuana, however. That is up to the province, similar to alcohol distribution and retailing.

“There are no rules around licensing or who is allowed to sell,” Scorgie said.

While the province, and its new NDP government, will inevitably bring in rules for distribution and sale, Scorgie is skeptical it will be ready in less than a year when that process has yet to begin.

In that vacuum, current dispensaries may be emboldened.

But they could be outmaneuvered by new entrants with financing and business expertise behind them.

The IRS states that a person exercising authority over another individual’s affairs (ie authority over a bank account via Power of Attorney), must meet reporting requirements (known as Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, or “FBAR”).

Even if your child has not signed the Power of Attorney you have granted NOR acted under it, your appointment of your child may still be enough to trigger the FBAR filing requirement.

Penalties for not filing an FBAR can be severe; a willful violation penalty is the greater of $100,000 or 50% of the account, or criminal charges.

There are many legal implications to giving Power of Attorney. When choosing your estate planning tools, contact our Wills & Estates team to discuss options that best suit your circumstances.

Franchisee: ‘We’ll fight it’ DISPENSARY TO SEEK LEGAL BACKUP IF RCMP TARGETS BUSINESS From A3

RCMP, too, were originally unsure how much time to spend on dispensaries, Pillay said, particularly as an opioid overdose crisis fuelled by fentanyl continues to rage across B.C. “In Kamloops, it’s gotten to the point of critical mass,” he said.

“There’s eight storefronts operating — or at least there was until this week — and we are inundated with illegal grows all through this community.”

Pillay said RCMP are becoming aware of more and more growops in homes and it appears they may be driven by the demand for product at dispensaries. In some cases, growers may have Health Canada permission to grow the drug for medical use, but use that as a cover to grow 1,000 plants instead of the much smaller number legally allowed.

The grow-ops are a concern, Pillay said, because they often tap into the electrical

grid illegally to mask detection, creating fire risks, and the humidity required generally destroys the home.

He believes dispensary customers are often unaware their pot isn’t coming from legitimate sources.

“When you walk up to a storefront that appears to be operating legally, calls itself a clinic — it gives it this medical impression, but most people don’t realize there is no safe supply chain that can go to a storefront dispensary,” he said. “These are illegal grows, no different than 10 years ago.”

Police to prioritize

While police have not taken action against any other dispensaries since Canna Clinic shuttered, Pillay said other enforcement is in the planning stages. Police will prioritize stores with links to organized crime or prolific criminals, locations close to schools or daycares and higher

numbers of community complaints. Business practices will also play a role.

“If their advertising appears to be targeted towards youth or targeted towards massive consumption — like two-for-one joint days and things like this — that also factors in to our decisions on which ones to focus on and which ones to wait on,” Pillay said.

And though Canna Clinic received a letter, Pillay said RCMP haven’t ruled out using raids or other tactics on other operations.

Remaining dispensaries contacted

by KTW were largely unaware of Canna Clinic’s closure or police plans to crack down on pot shops.

Chuck McCarthy, the local franchisee of Weeds Glass and Gifts, said a customer at his 12th Street store had mentioned the closure, which he attributed to the shop’s willingness to sell to anyone of age with ID.

McCarthy said he requires a doctors’ prescription and does not condone recreational sales and prefers to focus on chemical compounds in marijuana that are believed to have medical benefit.

“I’ve got up to 87 year-old ladies coming in here and getting it for their arthritis . . . there’s nothing in there that can get you high, but it’s so good.

Especially for the aging people,” he said.

McCarthy said he would expect his franchise’s national legal team to come to his aid, should RCMP decide to target his business. The company previously took the cities of Vancouver and Abbotsford to court over orders to shut down stores, arguing they have unduly restricted access to medical marijuana, in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

“We’ll fight it as much as we can,” McCarthy said.

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

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: Companies, big and small, and people from all walks of life who have given so much to help those impacted by the wildfires.

We’ve said it before and it bears repeating: kudos for stepping up when so many people are in need. From corporate giant Procter and Gamble for offering free laundry service, to Kamloops-area residents offering free room and board to volunteers working around the clock to take care of people and pets, the community spirit displayed is simple awe-inspiring.

NOT: The growing homeless and transient population in Kamloops and the problems that stem from a situation in which many congregate in one community.

RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller spelled out the dilemma at this week’s police committee meeting, noting more needs to be done to address the chronic crisis.

As can be seen by comments on KTW’s website and elsewhere online, the influx of those with no permanent address has led to a spike in property crime, which in itself results in less sympathy for those who truly need aid. It is a vicious cycle that needs addressing immediately.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: The legacy of the late Kamloops author Richard Wagamese.

The award-winning writer’s book, Indian Horse, has been turned into a movie and will arrive in theatres in the fall.

Indian Horse, which received critical acclaim when originally published, sheds light on Canadian residential schools.

Plan on heading to the theatre this autumn. Until then, find out more about the film online at indianhorse.ca.

Clark owes voters an apology

W

hile former and current B.C. Liberal MLAs and party supporters were quick to post accolades following leader Christy Clark’s decision a week ago to step down as leader and quit as Kelowna West MLA, the timing of her announcement only underlines why politicians — and politics in general — are considered untrustworthy by so many.

Clark announced on July 28 that she would be leaving politics and, in a subsequent press conference, told reporters the decision had largely been made on the night of the election.

Yet a mere 25 hours before announcing her resignation as leader and MLA, Clark was talking to Radio NL from Penticton, where the Liberal caucus was meeting, stating unequivocally that she was not going anywhere, that she would be Opposition leader for the long haul.

Clark was forceful in her declaration that she was staying on to fight the good fight and to advance B.C. Liberal policies and principles for all British Columbians.

She said she was not going to quit and that there were no rumblings in caucus for her to do so.

A day later, everything she had vowed was false.

What is a voter to think?

More importantly, what are voters in her adopted riding of Kelowna West to think?

If a candidate asks for your vote in that most sacred of democratic actions, they are entering into an agreement in

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS which you promise to check the box next to their name and they promise, if elected, to represent you and all others in that riding for four years — or until the next election.

Clark’s first allegiance is as MLA to residents of Kelowna West, not as leader of the B.C. Liberals. She promised to represent them for four years (or until the next election) and she broke that promise. She misled voters, just as she misled the media and the public with her hollow declarations since May 9, when she repeatedly vowed to roll up her sleeves and fight in the Opposition.

Clark seems to have a penchant for not understanding how our Westminster style of democracy works.

During that same Radio NL interview (again, with nary a challenge from the questioner) and many times since May 9, when she failed to lead her B.C. Liberals to a majority, Clark complained that her party won the most seats and garnered the most votes; therefore, the NDP/ Green alliance must somehow be illegitimate.

Wrong.

The party (or parties) that form enough seats to gain confidence of the legislature is the government, be that a single party, two distinct groups or a mishmash of a number of political entities.

During her press conference, Clark cited the fact an election was not going to occur this fall as a reason for her decision to quit. If that prognosis is correct, then that is all the more reason for her to stay and battle. That comment alone speaks to a person who craves power, not necessarily to a person who claims to cherish public service.

Adrian Dix was leader of the B.C. NDP and snatched defeat from the jaws of certain victory in 2013. He stepped down as leader, but continues to serve as an able MLA to his constituents in Vancouver-Kingsway. Carole James was also B.C. NDP leader, but could never win an election.

She stepped down as leader, but continues to be an effective MLA for her constituents in VictoriaBeacon Hill.

What makes Clark’s decision to abandon her Kelowna West constituents all the more galling is the fact she elbowed aside MLA Ben Stewart in June 2013 so she could win an easy seat in the Okanagan after losing her true seat in Vancouver-Point Grey to the NDP’s David Eby. Perhaps the party owes Clark thanks for 6.5 years of service and a stunning upset win in 2013. But Clark owes voters in Kelowna West an apology. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

REFERENDUM WOULD HINGE ON DEEP POCKETS Editor: If the proposed Ajax mine were put to referendum, the yes side would probably have many dollars from the mining company for promotion, advertising, etc.

The no side would probably have few dollars — just what volunteers and volunteer organizations manage to raise.

It wouldn’t be a fair vote.

Elma Schemenauer Kamloops

Shame on city, docs

CITY SHOULD CONSERVE WATER Editor: Did you know it’s smart irrigation month?

There is certainly no way you can tell the City of Kamloops is celebrating.

Let’s see that wasted green space turn into xeriscape or Dutch clover, which will save thousand of dollars and reduce the use of water.

A smoker with a little initiative and forethought can use one of these cup holders to carry a cup with an inch of water to use as an ash tray and stop throwing butts out on the road.

Maybe then we can prevent a fire caused by thoughtlessness.

StatsCan: Punjabi, German top second languages in Kamloops JUST 20 PEOPLE IN THE CITY SPEAK SECWEPEMC AS MOTHER TONGUE CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

French may be one of Canada’s two official languages but it has many local rivals as a mother tongue.

StatsCan’s latest release shows the second language spoken by city residents in the 2016 census.

The vast majority of city residents, about 83,000, speak Englishonly.

In the ranking of second languages spoken here, Punjabi is No. 1 but has a number of close rivals.

Second-language mother tongues in Kamloops: Punjabi: 1,200 German: 1,015 French: 990 Italian: 920 Chinese languages: 895 Secwepemc: 20 All of them show the influence of past and current immigration trends. German comes in at No. 2, followed closely by French and Italian.

MORE CENSUS DATA

Senior population, overall kids rising in the River City CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops has long been considered a bellwether provincially and the latest release from StatsCan shows the city also mirrors the rest of the province in its age and household makeup.

Statistics Canada released data on Wednesday showing household formation, demographics and languages spoken.

There were more than 90,000 people living in Kamloops at the census date in 2016.

The percentage of children 0-14 has remained stable at about 15.5 per cent of the population compared to five years ago, but the number of those 65 and older has risen by nearly three percentage points to 18.2 per cent.

Michael Mehta, a professor of geography and environmental studies at Thompson Rivers University, said his initial glance a the numbers shows

Kamloops’ makeup is similar to the rest of the province.

“We map, almost exactly,” he said. “We’re very representative of the province.”

That includes in age distribution, average age and composition of households.

Mehta said the numbers from StatsCan also show a picture of a community that’s “incredibly stable.

“Population growth is hovering at about one per cent a year. It maps closely what’s happening in the rest of the province,” he said.

One bright spot in the numbers is an increase in the number of children overall, even if it is stable as a percentage of the population.

There were about 13,300 children ages 0-14 in both the 2006 and 2011 censuses.

In 2016 that number increased to slightly less than 14,000.

Those numbers are helping to stabilize school populations after years of declining enrolment.

Italian speakers.

“I speak with many [Italian speakers],” said the Colombo Hall organizer.

Moroni said she also taught the language to her three children.

The census also

looks at the language most often spoken at home. Here, Punjabi, at 725, and Chinese languages, at about 550, dominate.

The survey also looks at aboriginal languages and finds just 20 people within the city of Kamloops (65 in the region) speak Secwepemc as their mother tongue.

They are outnumbered in the city by CreeMontagnais, at 35.

Ron Ignace, chief of the Skeetchestn Indian Band, grew up speaking Secwepemc. He called retaining the language “an uphill battle for

many reasons.”

He said federal funding for aboriginal language education from the federal government is always uncertain and often erratic, making long-term planning difficult.

Ignace was a key part of a national effort more than a decade ago to set up long-term funding for aboriginal languages.

He has recently convinced the Assembly of First Nations to revive the focus, something he believes has more chance of success under the Trudeau Liberal government.

Ashley Dallas Q: Our poor air quality of late is cause for concern for everyone.

Research shows that the health risks are greater for our elderly population. Do you have any recommendations that could minimize these risks?

A: If you have asthma, heart or respiratory conditions it is recommended that you talk to your doctor or health care professional about ways to protect your health while the air quality is so poor.

Keep your windows and doors closed at all times to prevent the outside air from entering your home.

Reduce your exposure by staying indoors as much as possible.

Only go outside if it’s absolutely necessary.

Choose indoor exercise and activities.

Use your air conditioning in your home if you have it and ensure that you clean and/or change the filter on a regular schedule; i.e. minimum monthly and more frequently during extreme poor air quality warnings. If you live in a retirement community they will manage this for you.

Air purifiers for the home are popular items in areas where the air quality is poor on a regular basis.

This is something to consider especially if you suffer from respiratory conditions.

Use your car’s air conditioning rather than the vents to cool your off your car.

Lastly, if you are feeling unwell it is always best to visit your doctor.

B.C. BANNER UP FOR GRABS IN VERNON MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

hris Scabar looked possessed, brimming with a concoction of explosive emotions.

His never-saydie Vernon Tigers had finally been put to the sword by the Kamloops Venom in deciding Game 5 of the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League final last week inside smouldering-hot Memorial Arena.

He struggled to find words, removing items of clothing and uttering under his breath inside the Tigers’ dressing room, but eventually spoke with conviction and turned focus to the provincial junior B lacrosse championship, which begins on Friday in Vernon.

“How it ended sucked,” said Scabar, who also used a few words not fit for publication. “My boys deserved that game. We’ve been working really hard for this. It’s a tough loss, a very tough loss.

“It’s motivation for us [ahead of provincials]. It’s a real big motivator for us. We’re not dead yet. As you can tell, we don’t sit back. We’re going to move forward.”

Bottled up inside the Tigers and waiting to explode this B.C. Day long weekend is the frustration of losses to the Venom in the last three TOJLL championships.

“It’s not the best thing to be feeling right now,” dejected Tigers’ runner Steele Pelletier said after the Game 5 defeat last week. “It didn’t end how we wanted it to end, but we’ll get them back at provincials.”

Vernon qualified for the B.C. championship as the host team, Kamloops as the TOJLL representative, the Coquitlam Adanacs as

Monty Chisholm and the Kamloops Venom’s competition at the junior B provincial lacrosse championship includes a highly motivated group in the hometown Vernon Tigers. The tournament begins on Friday.

winners of the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League (WCJLL) and the Westshore Bears as Pacific Northwest Junior Lacrosse League champions.

Kamloops coach Doug Clark was waiting on film taken on an iPhone on Thursday morning, looking to learn more about the Venom’s two unfamiliar opponents, the defending provincial champion Adanacs and the Langford-based Bears.

“We know very little about them, but we know Coquitlam will be strong and Westshore should also be strong, based on their sea-

son record,” Clark said.

Westshore was 13-1-4 in the regular season and bested the Saanich Tigers (12-1-5) in the league final to advance to the provincials. Much like the TOJLL, the Pacific Northwest league features two top teams that usually duke it out in the championship series, the Tigers and Bears.

Competition is stiffer in the WCJLL and often breeds a favourite to win the B.C. banner, with Coquitlam, New Westminster, Ridge Meadows and Delta among the traditionally strong teams.

Hometown Coquitlam (15-0-1)

earned a 12-5 victory over New West (14-0-2) in the deciding game of the WCJLL final on Tuesday.

Kamloops opens provincials on Friday against Coquitlam, with game time set for 4:30 p.m., and is scheduled to square off against Westshore at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday.

The Tigers-Venom grudge match is pencilled in for 12:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Venom captain Riley Peterson knows what to expect from the Tigers — a team hellbent on revenge.

“They never go away,” Peterson

said. “They’re a great team and we’re going to see them in provincials.”

Kamloops goaltender Matt Hans is ready to batten down the hatches.

“They’re competitors,” Hans said. “They battle every night, no matter how far down they are. They prove it every time.

“We’re going to see them at provincials. We’re going to look at beating them there, too.”

After the round-robin, the top two teams advance to the final, with the bottom two left to fight for bronze.

The bronze-medal tilt is slated for 9:30 a.m. on Monday and the championship game will follow at 12:30 p.m. All games will be played at Kal Tire Place.

Fourth-place finishes at the B.C. championship in 2015 and 2016 have left a bad taste with the Venom. Clark is not expecting life to be any easier in Vernon.

“It’s a big surface and we don’t seem to get any breaks over there,” Clark said. “I don’t know what it is.

We get a lot more penalties in that arena than we get in our arena and a lot of calls don’t seem to go our way.”

Comments like those indicate the gamesmanship has already begun.

Kamloops is looking to claim its third provincial title, having accomplished the feat in 2010 and 2012, but three great teams — including one with fire in its belly — are standing in the way.

“It’s especially hard losing this game, but we have balls,” Tigers’ standout Jordy Barr said after the devastating loss in the Snake Pit last week. “We can come back from anything.

“We’ve just got to fight back hard.”

De Grasse injury to haunt sprinter, hurt Canadian track LORI EWING

THE CANADIAN PRESS

LONDON — Andre De Grasse’s coach says the star sprinter’s withdrawal from the world track and field championships isn’t only a personal blow for De Grasse, but for Canadian fans too.

The 22-year-old from Markham, Ont., was to race Jamaican star Usain Bolt one last time in the world 100 metres and was a solid shot to capture gold in the 200 metres.

Coach Stuart McMillan says when De

Grasse sees the sprinters lining up for the final “it’s really going to hit home’’ that he’s not there.

The 100 metre heats are scheduled for Friday night and the final on Saturday.

De Grasse suffered a Grade 2 tear of his hamstring in a training session on Monday night. He flew to Munich to meet with Dr. Muller Wolfhart, who made the final diagnosis.

The recovery is expected to take five to six weeks.

There had been plenty of hype around Bolt versus De Grasse at the world championships, which McMillan said has been

wearing on the young Canadian sprinter. “(But) in retrospect in a few weeks, when he looks back on this, this was his last opportunity to beat Bolt, I think that’s probably going to be the thing that haunts him the most,’’ McMillan said.

The loss of De Grasse is a big blow to Canada’s 4x100-metre relay team, which captured a bronze medal at last summer’s Rio Olympics.

McMillan compared it to removing Donovan Bailey or Bruny Surin from the relay team that won gold at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Newton ailing?

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Carolina Panthers’ quarterback Cam Newton was held out of passing drills for the third straight day while battling soreness in his surgically repaired right shoulder.

Coach Ron Rivera was vague on if this is part of the team’s plan for Newton or if he’s had a setback.

Rivera said after practice Thursday, “We are going to do what the doctors and trainers tell us.’’

Rivera said it’s unclear if the league’s 2015 MVP will participate in Fan Fest in Charlotte stadium on Friday night.

Newton underwent surgery in March to repair a partially torn rotator cuff. He participated in the first five training camp practices at Wofford College, but was held out of the second half of practice Sunday with shoulder soreness. He’s only thrown two warmup passes since then. (/CP)

EA Sports puts Barcelona to lose Neymar women in the game JOSEPH WILSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WNBA players will be featured in a video game for the first time this fall, with NBA Live 18 adding women’s basketball players.

Head scans of WNBA players were conducted over the past year. The developers held motion capture sessions

with No. 1 draft pick Kelsey Plum of the San Antonio Stars, among others.

There’s a WNBA play mode where video gamers can pit two WNBA teams against each other with authentic jerseys, rosters and courts.

FIFA2016 added 12 women’s soccer national teams to the game in 2015.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BARCELONA, Spain — Barcelona is facing an uncertain future without Lionel Messi’s heir apparent.

Neymar flourished alongside Messi for four seasons, and everyone in Barcelona — executives, players, fans — counted on the 25-year-old Brazil striker to eventually become the team’s leader after he signed a contract extension last year through 2021.

That plan was blown away on Wednesday when Neymar told the club he wanted to leave. His representative, Wagner Ribeiro, confirmed widespread rumours that Paris SaintGermain was ready to trigger the astonishing 222 million euro ($262 million) release clause included in Neymar’s contract that would double the world record for soccer transfers.

The imminent departure of Neymar leaves Barcelona in the position of having a lot of extra cash and the clear need to shore up an aging team that has lost its projected star for years to come.

Barcelona’s other top players,

Brazilian soccer star Neymar is expected to leave Barcelona to sign with Paris Saint-Germain.

however, are all eyeing the twilight of their careers. While he still hasn’t lost a step, Messi is 30 and entering his 14th season. Striker Luis Suarez is also 30 and midfielder Andres Iniesta has reached 33 and is in the final year of his contract.

Iniesta considered Neymar irreplaceable, no matter how much money the club gets in exchange.

“I can’t see how having 200 or 300 million (euros) is more beneficial than counting on Neymar,’’ Iniesta said last weekend amid growing speculation about PSG’s interest.

“He is one of the best players in the world and gives us so much.’’

Speedy receiver Williams primed for Lions’ debut

MUG SHOTS

CRIMES OF THE WEEK LARGE HOUSEHOLD ITEMS STOLEN

BEN KUZMA

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Chris Williams went about his business Tuesday in the manner expected from an allstar receiver expected to make his B.C. Lions debut Saturday.

The free-agent acquisition didn’t ease into first-team repetitions, even though he’s coming off surgery in October to repair an anterior cruciate ligament and a meniscus tear.

He only started practising last week, but on Tuesday made hard cuts. He lit the afterburners and didn’t break stride in hauling in pinpoint passes from Travis Lulay.

All this knowing the real test will come against the resurgent Saskatchewan Roughriders at BC Place Stadium. And that’s why he treated practice like a game. Even coach Wally Buono was impressed and that said something.

“You still have to take it (practice) in the same mindset to be ready to play in a meaningful situation,” said the 29-year-old Williams. “We compete out here, so that’s one

thing you don’t have to worry about, and we’re making all the moves that we would in a game. We’re moving. We’re cutting. We’re accelerating.”

The Lions wanted to add Williams for obvious reasons.

The 5-foot-9, 155pound lightning bolt had 77 receptions for 1,246 yards and 10 touchdowns in 14 games with the Ottawa Redblacks last season and averaged 16.2 yards per catch.

The slippery New Mexico State product also had 575 total yards after receptions to attest to his game-

breaking ability.

Lulay knows long and sustained drives Saturday will help his secondary keep isolation-coverage challenges against receivers Duran Carter and Naaman Roosevelt to a manageable level.

That’s where Williams can play a key role.

“See my smile? I’m excited,” said Lulay.

“I’ve watched him from afar be a game-changer.

I was excited the minute we signed him. His speed and quickness are a concern coming off injury, but you still see the bursts and to not just start, but stop and then run fast.”

Sometime over the weekend of July 29th a number of large house appliances were stolen from behind Always Liquidation on the 200 block of Tranquille Road.

The items included 3 used sets of washers and dries, 2 used dishwashers and 2 used air conditioners. These are all big bulky items that would have needed at least one truck and made a number of trips to remove all the items.

There is no doubt that these thieves had seen the items during the day and came back at night to steal them. Tranquiller road is a busy road day or night and someone may have noticed a vehicle transporting some of these items late at night.

This is your opportunity to do the right thing and contact Crime Stoppers leave your information about this theft, no court, no statements, it is that simple.

If you know where any of these people are, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). The tip line pays up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest of fugitives. Remember, Crime Stoppers just wants your information, not your name. Crime doesn’t pay, but Crime Stoppers does.

This program is jointly sponsored by Kamloops Crime Stoppers & Kamloops This Week.

People featured are wanted on arrest warrants not vacated as of 3 p.m. on August 2, 2017

DO YOU KNOW THIS PERSON The police would like to your help in identifying this male. This lone male entered one of the store in the Northills Mall on Monday, July 14th and walked around for a short period of time.

When the staff were busy with another customer, the male grabbed a couple of items and left the store without making any attempt to pay for the items. The suspect most likely thought he had gotten away with the theft but the store

employees reviewed the security tapes and have identified this male as the suspect in the theft.

The suspect is described as First Nations, late 20’s, short dark hair, wearing a dark T-shirt and was carrying a back pack.

If you know this male, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and may receive a cash reward upon the arrest of this suspect.

BUSINESS BROKEN INTO Sometime overnight on Tuesday, July 25th 3 businesses were broken into on Athabasca St. and Chilcotin Rd. and a number of items were taken. These thieves had a plan and a truck or possibly a cube van to transport all of the property stolen. In each case the suspects cut through a compound chain

link fence. The hole was out of the main way and most people driving by would not have noticed it. To the owners of the business, it is time to improve your security in the compounds; possibly motion detectors, more lights, even a camera system with signage warning the possible nurturers that there are

cameras on site. Items taken from the compounds included a welder, fuel, and propane tanks.

If you were driving by the area late at night and may have noticed anything suspicious, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and only your information will be used never your name.

Always in our hearts, Love Walter, Cristina and Tonia

In Loving Memory Of Mom, Grandma and G.G. Mac.

Celebration Of Life

Margaret Jean MacKenzie

September 5, 1932 - April 23, 2017

Please join us to share memories on Sunday, August 6, 2017 at the North Shore Community Centre in Cottonwood Manor, 452-730 Cottonwood Ave., Kamloops between 1:00 and 4:00 pm. * Parking in the back.

Alice Klim age 85, passed away peacefully on June 11, 2017 at Vancouver General hospital with family in attendance.

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Jack Mackinder on July 30, 2017 at 84 years of age.

Alice was born in Two Hills, Alberta on August 25, 1931 to John and Jessie Pilip. As a young adult, she moved to Vernon, BC where she met, fell in love with and married Nickolas Klim. Alice assumed the position of full time House Manager and Mother with the birth of their children and through their hard work and honest endeavor the family prospered, moving from Vernon to Savona and eventually settling in Kamloops.

Jack is survived by his loving wife Colleen of 63 years. He is also survived by his three children Mike (Janice) Mackinder, Debbie (John Dillman) Yewchyn, Sandy (Neil) Kirkwood, grandchildren Chris (Jenn) Yewchyn, Matthew (Townsend) Mackinder, Aaron (Sarah) Peters, Megan Peters, Shelley (Sid) Takahashi, Brian Carter and Christie Hayward, great-grandchildren Ashton, Jackson and Sawyer Yewchyn and Claire Takahashi.

In retirement, Nick and Alice moved into the newly built Cottonwood Manor, where Alice volunteered her time to the Co-Op, her friends and neighbors. After her beloved husband Nick passed away on January 24, 2007, she found comfort and companionship with Mr. Bob Perry and their nourishing friendship helped both continue to enjoy their golden years.

When Bob passed, Alice continued to volunteer her time at Cottonwood until ill health unfortunately forced her to retire from that role.

Jack was born in Kamloops on March 25, 1933 to Eva and Edmund Mackinder. He married his high school sweetheart Colleen Gibbon on May 15, 1954. They expanded their loving family with the arrival of their son Mike and then daughters Debbie and Sandy. Jack began his career with W J Ellis and went on to own and operate Braimac Sales and then Mackinder Automotive. He and Colleen started a new adventure together managing the Guest House on Tunkwa Lake Road, Logan Lake for Highland Valley Copper until their retirement.

Alice will always be remembered for her fighting spirit, her giving nature, her unflinching belief that benefits should be for all and her no nonsense approach to life. There are never enough Alices in the world and her kind are always sadly missed.

Alice is survived by her four children Bob (Gloria) of St. Albert, AB, Bonita (Jack) of Vancouver, BC, Tim (Deb) of Burnaby, BC and Terry (Deborah) of Lafayette, California, her seven grandchildren Amanda (Stewart), Jarret and Kaelin, Patrick (Alina), Kayla, Ty and Brendan and one great-grandchild Violet.

Her family will greet her friends for a Celebration of her Life in Kamloops at a date yet to be determined by her family.

Jack was so very proud of his family. Nothing gave him more pleasure than presiding over family gatherings, watching his grandchildren and then great-grandchildren marvel at his dancing bicep.

Special Thanks to the caring staff at Trinity Hospice (Overlander Extended Care). The family is truly grateful for your devotion to him.

No service by request.

Donations can be made to Canadian Cancer Society or Kamloops Hospice.

Darnel Edwina Madore (nee Ball) We are heartbroken to announce that on July 13, 2017 our dear wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend died in her 75th year at Kamloops Hospice with her children and husband by her side. With optimism and faith she bravely fought her disease, believing that she could conquer her illness with the support of her family.

She had remarkable relationships with all who knew her and will be forever missed by the love of her life Ted, son Shawn (Kate Lovering), daughter Leslee, granddaughter Mia Petrtyl, brother Darrell Ball (Shirley) of Vernon, sister Betty Stepputat of Maple Ridge, sister-in-law Karen Madore of Vancouver, brother-in-law Doug Muma of Courtenay and extended family and friends. She was predeceased by her parents Doris and Ed, sister Ruby Muma and son-in-law Martin Petrtyl.

Darnel was born in Vancouver, the youngest of four siblings and grew up in Chilliwack and Cultus Lake, BC. As a young woman she had a zest for life and travelled across Canada, worked in Montreal and then she met Ted, who, on their first date, told her he was going to marry her and he did! They left Vancouver in 1971 to raise their children in Kamloops and for 53 years shared a life filled with laughter, adventure and hard work. Darnel was Ted’s devoted partner in both love and business and together they owned and operated the Pritchard Store, Westsyde Home Hardware and several other ventures. They were fortunate to retire young and had many friends who joined them in travel, golf and fishing.

As per her wishes, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Sincere thanks go to the many exceptional doctors, nurses and staff at RIH who provided all of us with comfort and care. We especially want to acknowledge the extraordinary compassion shown by Dr. Johannes van Heerden, Dr. Miranda du Preez and Dr. Simon Baxter of Kelowna.

If you wish, please make a donation to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home or the Canadian Cancer Society in her memory.

Raemar Mitchell (neé Spratt) Raemar Mitchell (neé Spratt), loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother passed on Friday, July 28, 2017 at 79 years of age.

Sadly missed by her husband of 55 years Russell Harvey Mitchell, her son Aaron, daughter-in-law Sandra (neé Sol) of Kelowna, grandchildren Jeffrey of Vancouver and Christopher of Kelowna, her son Paul, his partner Mar (Jennings) of Westport, CT and so many friends.

Born July 3, 1938 in Belfast, Northern Ireland to Lydia Rebecca (Skelly) and William Fair Spratt. Raemar (Rae) was so named to honor both of her grandmothers Rachel and Mary and came to Canada in 1961 to visit her uncle James Skelly in Kamloops, BC, but she quickly decided to emigrate. She worked at the Burris Clinic until her marriage June 9, 1962 and became a Canadian citizen in 1974. She was a 52-year member of the PEO Sisterhood, Chapter AT, served on the Kamloops Symphony Board and Community Concerts. She and Russ moved to Coquitlam in 1983 and they became involved with motorsport and worked as turn workers at Westwood Race Track, Seattle and Portland and the Vancouver Indy Car Races. She was a 30 years volunteer at Eagle Ridge Hospital and loved her PEO Sisters (Chapter Z, New Westminster), playing bridge and watching tennis in Indian Wells. She was known to all for her green eyes, softly lilting accent, kindness, manners, love of all things royal, wonderful baking skills and love of travel.

The family thanks all who knew her and whose lives touched hers.

No service by request. Cremation.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Is cremation really cheaper than burying the body?

Each loss is very different The pain is so severe Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear! !

A. That’s kind of a trick question. When we bury an urn we’re burying the body.

Because it’s compact, it takes up less space and there’s less labour involved. Plus, an urn is usually much less expensive than a casket. So…yes. !

THE LITTLE UNICORN

by Peggy Kociscin, Albuquerque, New Mexico

There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue.

He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun.

The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.

The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.

In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams.

The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.

For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.

He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.

He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.

His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.

All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do.

That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.

He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light.

He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.

To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.

His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start.

Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.

He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees.

He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.

His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring...

The lonely, bitter tears.

But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.

But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.

She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can.

There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”

A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.”

His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!

The Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival returns Aug. 17 to Aug. 20 in its 24th year. The CBC stage, shown above, is one of several areas to enjoy a variety of music over four days, from country to roots, blues, folk and world music.

ast year, the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival opened its gates to about 8,000 people daily.

Add up four days of music and the numbers are encouraging to executive director Peter North.

“I think we’ve got our mojo back,” he told KTW in a phone interview.

North joined the festival in recent years when attendance dwindled. His vision is to provide the region

with a true roots and blues festival based on a model from the 1970s.

“We’re not trying to be pop,” he said.

The festival returns

in its 24th year from Aug. 17 to Aug. 20 and North said he would be happy with numbers comparable to last year, especially in light of wildfires impacting the region and other events “coming and going these days.”

If you’ve never attended, scrap perceptions of the overcrowded, drug-infused festival scene. The environment is family friendly. North called it a “chill, vibrant, enjoyable scene.”

“We sold more booze last year than ever before and we didn’t have one incident,” he said.

Among 40 acts performing on multiple stages, North aims to provide a mix of veteran performers and new, up-and-coming musicians.

Headliners include Alex Cuba and Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. Among fresh talent is Altameda from Edmonton.

“They’re a really

good country rock band with punk attitude,” North said. “They’re really good players and writers.”

Then there’s 22-yearold Dylan Menzie, who North scouted last fall at a PEI showcase.

“I signed him up with his manager right after he got off stage . . .” North said, calling him a fully developed artist at a young age. “You’d think he’d been writing for 20 years.”

The festival will once again host a plethora of workshops.

On Sunday, Leonard Cohen will be honoured with a special

tribute. The iconic Canadian musician died in November of 2011 and North said few have matched his songwriting abilities.

“There’s none better,” he said.

One of the stages has also expanded to allow for a 17-piece band. The Mad Dogs Experience is on Saturday night, complete with a choir and dubbed to be a “guaranteed barn burner.”

For a complete festival lineup and ticket information, go online to rootsandblues.ca.

Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the gate.

F

or Matt Rose, fish taco stands and expensive craft beers juxtaposed to mental health problems and addiction speaks to Vancouver right now. The guitarist called gentrification “a struggle,” one he blamed for killing the cultural vibes of the city.

“That’s the reality,” Rose told KTW. “Everyone’s getting pushed out. We all have some sort of day jobs in some sort of capacity. That’s the only way we can afford to do it.”

Rose has got a family and is try-

ing to make a go of the music biz in Vancouver alongside bandmates in The Matinée.

The group began in 2007 as a two-piece singer-songwriter combo consisting of Rose and singer Matt Layzell. When brainstorming a moniker with which to perform, the Matt theme kept coming up.

The Mattresses? No. The Mattocks? Un uh.

The Matadors? Niente.

“The Matinée was the one we liked the most,” Rose said, adding it’s “cheesy” several years and bandmates later.

The group has since evolved,

kamloopsthisweek.com @kamthisweek

B.C. band hits No. 1 on CBC, but sees artists struggling in Vancouver

with more instruments and people added to the group. These days, Pete Lemon is on drums and Geoff Petrie is also on guitar.

The band released its latest album earlier this year, which featured Blood Alley — a song and music video named for a place in the Downtown Eastside about that very issue of gentrification.

“The clashing of so many parts of society,” Rose said.

Among the tunes on the album, Dancing On Your Grave, Figure It Out recently hit No. 1 on CBC Radio 3’s Top 10 chart.

Rose said the band has been touring since the release

of the album.

When KTW reached Rose, he was on board a van the band borrowed from their Vancouver counterpart, Said The Whale. The Matinée was just outside Ottawa, en route to perform in Burnstown.

Rose said the audience is growing.

“You always wish it’s going to be the album that’s going to propel you into the next level of your career,” he said. “We’re working our way up to get there.”

The Matinée is performing during Music in the Park on Saturday, Aug. 19. The free show is from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Riverside Park.

Indian Horse in theatres this fall A movie adapted from a book by the late Richard Wagamese is coming to theatres in September.

Indian Horse sheds light on Canadian residential schools, starring Forrest Goodluck from The Revenant RICHARD and WAGAMESE Michiel Husiman from The Age of Adaline.

The drama tells the story of eight-year-old Saul Indian Horse, torn away from his Ojibway family in the 1950s, to attend residential school.

The boy is denied the freedom to speak his language and embrace his heritage — all while witnessing abuse at the hands of the people in charge at the school.

Saul finds solace in hockey, at which he discovers he is skilled.

Wagamese was an author of First Nations descent who lived in Kamloops before he died earlier this year.

Indian Horse won the Canada Reads People’s Choice and First Nations Communities Reads awards and was short-listed for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.

For more information, including updates on where and when the film will be shown, go online to indianhorse. ca.

arts&entertainment Canadian content music laws need revamping W

kamloopsthisweek.com @kamthisweek

hen Canadian content laws (CanCon) came into the radio sector, their job was to promote Canadian music on Canadian airwaves and to develop culture with less influence from American broadcasters.

While CanCon laws took a while to be accepted, they have achieved their purpose.

Canadian music is everywhere on Canadian radio stations.

But in 2010, CanCon laws needed a new focus.

In a petition circulated in 2005, the Indie Pool website gathered 5,000 signatures from musicians and music fans, asking for an update to the laws and to raise the CanCon

STEVE MARLOW

Radio

EDIT requirement for radio past 35 per cent (that is, 35 per cent of all music played on Canadian radio music be Canadian content).

Furthermore, they asked the requirements for CanCon to be tweaked to have radio stations promote more emerging and underplayed artists.

As it is, a radio sta-

tion is required to play 35 per cent CanCon, but it doesn’t matter which songs they play, as long as they count as Canadian content.

There is no provision for any radio station to play a diverse range of songs, it can just play the same handful of songs over and over.

The Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) has asked the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) to lower Canadian Content requirements to 25 per cent, claiming that an increase would harm their ability to compete in the radio world.

If they continued with the model they are using right now, they’d

be right. Canadian commercial radio, for what it’s worth, follows the American commercial model: sell advertising and play what’s familiar. With less CanCon, this is easily achievable.

Indie Pool has offered a counter argument: keep the 35 per cent model, but change how CanCon is measured.

They suggest a credit system, where songs by established artists count less toward CanCon percentages and lesser known artists count more.

For example, an internationally known Canadian artist like Drake or an established one like Paul Brandt would count less toward CanCon totals, but artists like Metric or

Mother Mother would count more toward CanCon. An independent artist with little national exposure would count even more.

What this would do is allow a station that wants to play only the biggest stars to continue doing so as they did and still make their 35 per cent CanCon. But an adventurous station could start playing lesser known artists and end up playing less than 35 per cent CanCon, but add more diversity and variety to their sound.

To the CRTC’s credit, they have changed the laws slightly, in that new stations are required to play 40 per cent CanCon, but stations licensed before

this change remain at 35 per cent.

Campus/community stations often take it upon themselves to exceed CanCon requirements, often playing more than 50 per cent.

The goal of CanCon laws were both to protect Canadian culture and to promote our own unique culture.

If we copy what the United States does with its radio, but with similar sounding artists, we’re doing very little to help promote and protect Canadian culture.

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

Hooked on Miracles

This year marks the seventh year of the Hooked on Miracles fundraiser. This is an event where mining industry executives, suppliers and associates get together to raise money for BC Children’s Hospital and local Tofino charities. Over $2.5 million has been raised through this three-day fishing tournament held in beautiful Tofino, BC. Hooked on Miracles is 100% supported by volunteers and all funds go directly to key initiatives.

Adventurous mining spirit goes hand in hand with the spirit of generosity. Over the past 7 years, 2.5 million dollars has been raised for BC Children’s Hospital through the Hooked On Miracles Annual Fishing Tournament.

When it comes to kids, BC Mining has always been known to lend a helping hand.

Co-Chair Mitchell Zulinick had this to say about the event: “The generosity that the mining industry and this group of people have and their commitment to BC children and families always amazes me. Effectively 28 people and their organizations contribute over $300,000 per event to this worthwhile cause and it really makes a difference. Everyone has a family member or a friend who has depended on BC Children’s Hospital, so it is a cause close to our hearts. “ Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s trip a success and to BC Children’s Hospital for making life better for all British Columbians.

Looking inside Canada’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin MARGARET DEEFHOLTS SPECIAL TO KTW

T

he log cabin is crouched against the wind, its weathered timbers blurred by snow flurries. Along with a group of visitors, I try to imagine the man who once lived within its walls.

His name was Josiah Henson and although his abode is located on “Uncle Tom’s Cabin Historic Site” in Dresden, Ontario, the reference to Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a symbolic rather than factual.

The fictional Uncle Tom never lived in Canada, and his cabin would have been located on a plantation in Kentucky.

So what’s the connection between Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Henson’s Dresden home?

Henson was Stowe’s inspiration for the character of Uncle Tom but unlike his fictional counterpart Henson, his wife and children made a successful escape to freedom in Ontario.

After the book became famous, he re-published his earlier autobiography, renaming it The Memoirs of Uncle Tom. Henson, a white-bearded patriarch with piecing eyes, was a far cry from the passive, obedient Uncle Tom stereotype regarded with scorn today. Business entrepreneur, abolitionist and active conductor on the Underground Railroad, he was a force to be reckoned with.

The Underground Railroad, as I discover, was neither a railroad nor an underground passage. It was the code name for a covert organization that helped thousands of desperate slaves on their long and dangerous journey to freedom in Canada.

From the mid-1700s to the mid-1800s about 40,000 slaves pinned their dreams to a banner of hope emblazoned with the words: “Follow the North Star to Freedom.” Some crossed the Detroit River under the cover of

darkness into Amherstburg — and went on to settle in Chatham, Dresden and Buxton. Others crept into the Niagara region from Fort Erie.

Enduring the cold winter nights, and the ever-present terror of discovery by bounty hunters, the escapees trudged on, bringing with them their faith in God, belief in Canada and pride in their African heritage.

That pride still shines in the eyes of their descendents today.

The North American Black Historical Museum in Amherstburg, and the Heritage Room at the WISH Centre in Chatham are stations along the Underground Railroad tour. Both sites are staffed by descendents of fugitive slaves, who share folklore and heart-warming anecdotes handed down through the generations.

On display are photographs of ordinary people, as well as notable black citizens, musicians, sportsmen and war heroes. Quilts and banners with Underground Railroad emblems adorn the walls and cabinets hold memorabilia from personal collections.

Shannon Prince, curator of the Buxton National Historic Site and Museum, whose family was among the town’s earliest settlers, talks about her ancestors who were traded like commodities in a bazaar. I flinch at the photograph of a whipped slave whose back is cross-stitched with raised welts.

“And, take a look at this,” Prince says, putting on a heavy iron collar with vertical spikes.

“This was a tool of punishment, and it was attached by a steel rod to shackles around a man’s feet, so he could hardly move.”

I’m taken aback to learn that Canada, too, was part of the slave trade in the 1600s. The practice was outlawed in the late 1700s and finally abolished in 1833.

Racial prejudice, however, isn’t wiped out by the stroke of a legislative pen.

Black settlers were often shunned by their Caucasian neighbours, yet they established themselves without fanfare, as teachers, preachers and workers in factories and shops. Small business enterprises mushroomed, churches flourished and a schoolhouse was built.

The sturdy little Buxton schoolhouse endured for just over a century — it was in use from 1861 to 1968.

look at it. Old class photographs — including one of Shannon as a child — are engaging. So too are the geography notes on the blackboard, which appear to have been left unerased for more than 50 years!

The classroom itself seems soaked in atmosphere and memories—shadows of children bent over their books, the smell of a dusty blackboard and the squeak of chalk on slates.

many blacks, perhaps yearning for familiar landscapes, warmer temperatures and reestablishing links with family and friends, returned to the southern U.S. For those who chose to remain in Canada, the Underground Railroad stations are links to a vanished past. For the rest of us it’s an unsung, yet poignant, part of Canadian history.

FAITH

Saved by the Cross — the Red Cross

W

here would fire evacuees be without the Red Cross?

They register the displaced, provide them a safe place to sleep, food to eat, supply the financial stipend the governments of B.C. and Canada funnel through them and fulfill countless other vital roles. The Red Cross has been truly heroic in this time of disaster for so many.

The group has an interesting history. The idea of having a neutral group provide medical aid to the wounded on a battlefield came from a Swiss bank employee named Henri Dunant.

Dunant had travelled to the Italian town of Solferino, hoping for an audience with Emperor Napoleon III, who was there leading his troops in the impending battle against the Austrian

Empire. Dunant was tasked with sorting out the bank’s difficulties conducting business in Algeria, then under France’s control.

The Battle of Solferino was fought on June 24, 1859, and while resulting in a French victory, it cost both sides more than 4,000 killed and aprroximately 19,000 wounded. Dunant never got his audience with Napoleon, but he was at Solferino just after the battle and was horrified at the suffering he saw.

At that time, there was no provision for care of the wounded and many were left to expire of their wounds on the battlefield.

Dunant organized the men and women of the surrounding villages to provide direct aid to the wounded. He never did accomplish what the bank had sent him there to do.

Dunant was an ardent Calvinist Christian, whose father insisted Henri and his other children engage in charitable works such as visiting those in prison and providing practical aid to the destitute. It was an ideal Henri enthusiastically followed.

On his return from Italy, Dunant wrote a book of his experiences, A Memory of Solferino, and published it at his own expense. He sent copies of the book to leading political and military figures throughout Europe, arguing for an inter-

nationally recognized neutral agency to provide impartial aid to the wounded of armed conflict.

One of those who received a copy of the book was Gustave Moynier, a lawyer, and at the time president of the Geneva Society for Public Welfare. At a meeting of the society, Dunant’s book was discussed and a committee was formed to investigate the possibility of implementing Dunant’s ideas.

In addition to Dunant and Moynier, the three other committee members were physicians Theodore Maunoir, Louis Appia, and a well-respected general, GuillaumeHenri Dufour. This committee of five called itself the International Committee for Relief to the Wounded. The committee organized an international conference in October 1863, attended by many high-ranking European

leaders and military officers.

On Oct. 29, 1863, the conference adopted the policies that provided protection for wounded soldiers, protection for aid workers and the provision of a recognized symbol (the red cross), which would identify those providing aid and protect them from attack from the hostile combatants.

A second conference, called the Geneva Convention, was held in 1864, where the committee’s provisions were formally ratified by 12 European states. The current name, the International Committee of the Red Cross, was formally adopted in 1876.

The Red Cross emblem is the inverse of the Swiss flag, with its white cross on a red field. The Swiss, of course, were already well-known for their policy of neutrality in armed conflict, which was internationally

recognized in 1815. The white cross was a heraldic emblem symbolizing the Arma Christi, or “weapons of Christ” in his battle against evil.

Of course, Christ himself strongly advocated for generous treatment of captured soldiers and those caught up in disasters (as in the parable of the Good Samaritan).

Having a symbol associated with neutrality and the Christian principles of mercy and generosity certainly helped the Red Cross attain international acceptability. National committees were then formed in virtually every European state, as well as in Canada and the U.S. Unfortunately for Dunant, he spent so much time on his project that he was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1867 and a court later ruled the bankruptcy was intentionally fraudulent, leading to his banish-

ment from Geneva.

In addition, his idealism conflicted significantly with the more practical outlook of the powerful Moynier, and Dunant was sidelined from the agency he had helped to found.

Dunant was finally rehabilitated when the Nobel Prize Committee decided to award its first Nobel Peace prize in 1901 to Dunant for his work in establishing the Red Cross.

The Nobel Peace Prize has also been awarded to Red Cross itself three times – in 1917, 1944 and 1963 – for its outstanding work in both World Wars and other conflicts.

We can all be truly grateful for the Red Cross.
