Summer wildfires contributed to unprecedented air-quality numbers in Kamloops this summer, leading authors of a report to call for public advisories based on measured PM2.5 concentrations.

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A public advocacy group has found the city’s air quality — driven by months of intense forest fires across B.C. — is the worst since measurements were available two decades ago. Robert Schemenauer, a retired Environment Canada atmospheric physicist, and Peter Tsigaris, a professor of economics at Thompson Rivers University, authored a report released Wednesday for Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment. The authors used measurements at the downtown Federal Building and at a Ministry of Environment station in Aberdeen. The report focused on prevalence of PM2.5, (particulate matter that has a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, which is about three per cent the diameter of a human hair), which impacts heart

and lung health. “August 2017 had the highest monthly PM2.5 average of any of the approximately 240 months in the 20-year history of records for the City of Kamloops,” the report stated. It also found that while concentrations in Kamloops during July were lower than those measured in Williams Lake, a then-evacuated city directly threatened, Kamloops’ numbers exceeded those in the Cariboo city during August. The average PM2.5 level at the Federal Building in July was 28.6 micrograms per cubic metre. The B.C. standard is 25 or below during a 24-hour period and less than eight micrograms per cubic metre for an annual average. “There were numerous smoke episodes during the month of July 2017, when 24-hour average concentrations of PM2.5 far exceeded the provincial air quality objective (AQO) value of 25, and every day in the period from 31 July

to 16 August 2017 exceeded this AQO,” the report stated. Even higher values were seen in August, with an average in Aberdeen of 121.3. The report blamed the valley’s rare topographical positioning, with valleys running north-south and east-west. It also noted wind direction and proximity to the wildfires as factors. It also found air quality worse this summer than in the famed Firestorm 2003, which was more locally destructive. The authors of the report say the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) does not reflect dangerous short-term spikes in PM2.5. They are calling for the Ministry of Environment, Interior Health and the City of Kamloops to develop guidelines for public advisories based on measured PM2.5 concentrations, or a careful re-examination of the AQHI risk categories. The authors said they also intend to utilize a new private network of monitors in subsequent work.

Kamloops This Week reporter Marty Hastings has been named a finalist in this year’s Jack Webster Awards. Hastings is a finalist for the Jack Webster Award for Community Reporting. His story, Wedding night turns tragic; Adkin dies of OD, chronicled the tragic night that a Kamloops man died at a wedding celebration.

Cooper family launches charitable foundation The Kamloops family behind the Cooper’s Foods stores that permeated the city’s landscape for decades is giving back to the city. The Cooper Family Foundation was unveiled Thursday morning outside the Marjorie Willoughby Memorial Hospice Home, the first recipient of the foundation’s charitable work. Nelly Dever is president and CEO of the foundation and said the goal is to give individuals, corporations, organizations and the public sector a partner in substantial projects that impact Kamloops and the region, exceeding $100,000 per project. “The creation of a professionally managed, charitable, family foundation allows the Cooper family to pay it forward to the Kamloops region,” family member Todd Cooper said. “By applying knowledge and skills and harnessing community resources, the foundation will undertake projects to enhance the lives of area residents. “The Cooper family is honoured to support the founda-

tion in pursuing these goals.” The Cooper Family Foundation’s first Wings Above Kamloops donation recipient is the hospice home. The Whiteshield Crescent facility in Sahali will receive a new building that will house expanded services in grief and bereavement counselling, spiritual care and alternative therapy. It will also include a resource centre and provide education and training workshops and expanded community outreach services. “We were astounded to learn that the Kamloops Hospice Association would be the first recipient of the Cooper Family Foundation’s generosity,” Kamloops Hospice Association executive director Wendy Marlow said. “The Wings Above Kamloops project will fast-track our strategic plan to expand our building, which means we will soon be able to provide expanded community services. This innovative gift not only provides the finances required, but takes on the responsibility of bringing the project to fruition.”

The foundation will raise money for the hospice home project and others by building a home and auctioning it off through a four-week silent auction monitored by KPMG. Profit from the sale of the homes will go to the foundation, which will then use the proceeds to fund various projects. The foundation’s inaugural home — a 3,600-square-foot, five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence with a daylight suite in phase 2 of Edinburgh Heights in Aberdeen — will have its groundbreaking on Monday and is expected to be sold by silent auction next spring. Dever, owner of Nelly’s Fitness and a former city councillor, said she is “grateful and honoured to be part of such a wonderful family foundation whose philosophies are based on helping those who help others.” The foundation’s website is at cooperfamilyfoundation. com.

DO I REALLY NEED A POWER OF ATTORNEY? ... my spouse already has access to everything because all our bank accounts are held jointly and we co-own our house... A Power of Attorney, gives someone legal authority to manage your finances and legal matters. If you become incapable of managing your finances because of illness, disease, or accident, this is where your Power of Attorney comes in. They can pay your bills, deposit/ withdraw money from your bank accounts, manage your investments, or sell your house and/or vehicles. The key is to make a Power of Attorney before your capacity fails to the point where you are legally incapable of signing such a document. It’s our advice that anybody who has assets of any kind gets a Power of Attorney, so that those assets can be dealt with in the event of a sudden debilitating accident or illness.

Drugs, cash seized in hotel room Police say some of the people arrested in connection to a Kamloops drug bust that turned up drugs, more than $18,000 in cash and a BMW are gang associates. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said search warrants were executed on a hotel room and

a vehicle on Aug. 25. Five people — four men and a woman — were arrested. Shelkie said all but one of the men are from Kamloops, adding some are known to have gang ties. According to Shelkie, the bust turned up $18,621 in cash, more than a kilogram of cocaine, 434

grams of heroin, nearly 500 grams of meth, 34 grams of crack cocaine and 17 grams of Xanax. In addition, police seized a 2008 BMW, 40 grams of an unknown substance and what Shelkie called “a large amount of drug paraphernalia” consistent with drug-dealing.

New airport manager flies in SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Airport has a new managing director. On Thursday, longtime manager Fred Legace signed over his job to incoming managing director, Heather McCarley. McCarley started at a regional airport 30 years ago, also obtaining her pilot’s licence. Since then, she has worked for a regional airline and a groundhandling company and has been the manager of airside operations for Vancouver International Airport. “It’s really nice to be coming back to regional airport operations here in Kamloops,” she told a small crowd of airport staff and media at Fulton Field. “Good regional airports connect their communities to destinations, for business and leisure, they offer jobs and make a difference in the community. It’s cer-

tainly what the Kamloops Airport has done in this community.” With Legace looking back on 15 years as manager, community was on his mind as well as he pointed to the people he will be leaving behind, listing everyone from car rental agency workers to airline workers and janitors. “There’s so much community around here that goes into making this thing happen,” he said. “Those are the people I’m going to miss. Really.” In 2003, Legace came to Kamloops from Winnipeg. When he arrived, he saw there needed to be a broader range of flight options available during the day and thought that getting the infrastructure airlines needed would be the key to making that happen. Legace said airlines responded to that, noting flights are actually cheaper today at YKA than they were 15 years ago. At the official signing over of the accountable executive for

the airport, Legace jovially threw his arms up in excitement as McCarley left her signature, but he’s mindful of what he’s leaving behind. “I always thought that when the time was right, that I should want to leave. It’s still bittersweet,” he said. “This is the best job in the whole damn city. It really is. You’re tightly connected to the community and the community really supports what we’re doing here.” Legace will stay in Kamloops and plans to work in insurance and risk management for small businesses. “They say a change is as good as a rest,” he told KTW. As for McCarley, she conceded she has big shoes to fill, but said she’s keen to dig into the job and feels reassured by the experience of Legace’s former team “There’s been a lot of good work done and I hope to continue that,” she said.

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: And dry — the summer that was. As reported in KTW this week and online at kamloopsthisweek.com, Environment Canada data confirms what residents of the Tournament Capital lived through these past three months — the summer of 2017 was the driest in the city since data started being collected in 1895. Interestingly, summer and winter are the wet seasons in Kamloops, with spring and fall the dry periods. The city normally receives 93 millimetres of rain through June, July and August. This year, only 8.6 millimetres of the wet stuff fell during those three months. While it was nowhere near a record-breaking summer for heat, based on the average daily high of 21.5 C, Kamloops sweltered through an amazing 50 days on which the mercury hit 30 C or higher. Wonder no more why 2017 has also become the province’s worst wildfire season in recorded history.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: The air up there, over Kamloops. Robert Schemenauer, a retired Environment Canada atmospheric physicist, and Peter Tsigaris, a professor of economics at Thompson Rivers University, authored the report for Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment. They found the air quality in the city this summer has been the worst since such monitoring began in 1998. Of course, the unprecedented wildfire season is the reason for the poor air quality and the high PM2.5 (particulate matter that has a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, which impacts heart and lung health) was the focus of the study. Also emanating from the report was the argument the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) does not reflect dangerous short-term spikes in PM2.5. The authors have called for public health advisories to be based on measured PM2.5 concentrations, or a careful re-examination of the AQHI risk categories.

Can the Clan? No — Kan the Klan!

e are living in the offended era, an age in which small segments of society may not be offended by anything, which has spurred them to find something that might offend them so they don’t feel excluded from the club. Statues commemorating the Confederacy are toppling across the U.S. Deep South and even Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, has become the target of some who feel offended by his name being on buildings and his visage being on our money. Why? Because Macdonald, along with being the father of our country by uniting it with the railroad, was also a hard-drinking man under whose policies Indigenous peoples suffered. We can argue all day about whether Macdonald should be honoured and still never agree. But I have read enough books by Jared Diamond and others to know that, if we scratched the surface of any person from any culture from any time, we will find enough disturbing details that would preclude all of mankind from being honoured in any way. I am three-quarters through Hampton Sides’ book, Blood and Thunder, a fascinating tale of how the U.S. settled the West by the cruelest means possible, with various native tribes victimized horribly. However, Sides also points out that the Navajo (who originated in Canada), Apache, Comanche, Utes and assorted other tribes were slave-traders who would slaughter

MUSINGS entire villages at will. Diamond, in his books, Guns, Germs and Steel, and Conquest, also details less-than-savoury actions by cultures that were later colonized. The point is: who are we, in 2017, to judge those from another time, who were living in a society we cannot even begin to comprehend now? Meanwhile, as debates rage over Macdonald, Edward Cornwallis, Matthew Begbie, Robert E. Lee and others, a professor at Simon Fraser University has managed to take this age of being offended into the realm of the ridiculous. According to an article in The Peak, SFU’s independent student newspaper, philosophy professor Holly Andersen has started a petition to have the university’s nickname changed. SFU has been known as the Clan since the school was born in 1965. It is that rare Canadian university whose sports teams play in the U.S., as SFU competes in NCAA Division II. Because SFU teams play squads south of the border, Anderson is calling for the school

to drop the Clan nickname because some Americans may confuse it with the Ku Klux Klan. Yes, she is serious, as noted in her petition: “The word ‘Clan,’ which sounds the same spelled with a K or a C, has a century or more of horrible history in the United States, one which continues very visibly in hate rallies and acts of terror in the South. This is not a history we can just wish away by saying, ‘But that’s not what WE mean by it!’ We don’t get to decide all by ourselves what words mean.” Let’s be clear: The university atop Burnaby Mountain was named after American explorer Simon Fraser. The school adopted the Scottish roots of Clan Fraser, which today counts thousands of people all over the world. The SFU Clan embraces a family with common roots. The Ku Klux Klan embraces racist nonsense. Yet Anderson feels a Canadian school with a team nickname honouring family and bonding and love should be erased because a group of redneck bigots south of the border decided in 1865 to bastardize the King’s English by replacing a C with a K? Here’s a suggestion for Anderson: How about starting a petition calling on Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard Richard Preston change the name of his organization, which is sullying the true Clan moniker? If Anderson’s preposterous petition has done nothing else, it has at least offended me to the core — and I no longer feel like an outsider in this ultra-sensitive age. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COUNCIL’S AMATEURISH APPROACH TO AJAX Editor: Re: Aug. 31 story about city council and the proposed Ajax mine (‘City council to focus on lobbying ministers on Ajax’): I continue to be amazed at the amateurish actions and motions of city council. If the KTW quote is accurate, Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh stated: “Disputing their (Canadian Federal Environmental Assessment Agency and B.C. Environment Assessment Office) findings is kind of a colossal waste of time because no one’s opinion is going to change.” He was also quoted as saying council should “create a lobby package to send to the ministers that focuses on why council is opposed and the scientific reasons behind the decision.” Did council not hire a consulting firm at a cost of approximately $500,000 to identify the “scientific reasons”? Do the provincial and federal agencies not employ scientists and engineers who are qualified to understand and interpret that report? Both the federal and provincial environmental-assessment processes are designed to gather and present advantages and disadvantages

associated with major development projects, including establishing conditions to protect human health and the environment in an impartial manner. This information is provided to the ministers for their decision. What qualifications do the members of council possess to better explain those facts to the ministers? It is evident from letters to KTW that there is strong support for the Ajax project among many citizens. Based on the passion expressed in many of those letters, it seems reasonable that those citizens took advantage of the publicconsultation period to express their opinion to the agencies. Council was elected to fairly represent all citizens when presenting the position of the city. Nevertheless, council is officially opposed to the project. Have our elected representatives not heard or read the opinions of those many citizens who support the proposed project? Or are the personal opinions of council trumping its responsibility to present a fair and balanced position of the citizens of Kamloops?

The provincial and federal agencies have invited the public to comment on the potential conditions, summary assessment report and certified project description proposed for the provincial environmental assessment certificate. In this regard, KTW reported that Singh further stated: “I’m really hoping the ministers don’t have any side conversations or situations where people are getting to them because I’m taking it in good faith that this is how they want to do it and I’m going to work along those lines.” How is the proposed lobbying by council different from “side conversations” Singh hopes the ministers will not have? Why does the council feel it necessary to bypass the opportunity to comment on the joint agencies’ report? To the credit of provincial Minister of Environment George Heyman, he told council he considers it improper to meet with the group on the mine application. Allister Brown Kamloops

DEEP THOUGHTS INCLUDE KAMLOOPS AS CAPITAL Editor: • Greyhound buses should carry first-class mail and should run 24/7 every day of the year. Post office general mail, parcels and freight can still moved by contracted trucking companies. The buses would not have to be subsidized. Millions of Canadians cannot afford to fly, yet they must travel. Using buses makes the most sense; especially for the immediate future and for several

years down the road. • Wildfires will be a major summer and fall activity for a very long time. Why not use convicts serving time in provincial and federal prisons? In the winter and spring, they could be employed in thinning out the forests and burning deadwood trees, slash and stumps. • B.C. NDP Premier John Horgan has removed all tolls from Lower Mainland bridges: His vote is in the new city

state (Greater Vancouver and Vancouver Island). City states are an old concept, introduced by the ancient Greeks. B.C.’s Interior residents should prepare themselves for heavy tax rate increases. The day cannot be far off when the term “tax revolt” becomes a daily common occurrence. • A good idea for the future — move the provincial capital to Kamloops. One department could be moved every year and the dis-

ruption would be minimal. The long-term savings would more than compensate for the relocation. The ideal location would be Crown land just south of the city on Highway 5. Government would be vastly more efficient. Brazil moved its capital 965 kilometres northwest to the new city of Brasilia. Ernie Slump Penticton

A look at crime and policing In Tuesday’s edition of KTW and online at kamloopsthisweek.com (click on the Kamloops Byelection tab), we examined the issue of crime and policing. The 22 councillor candidates were asked for their input. Their comments are online and appeared in Tuesday and Thursday editions of KTW. The remaining candidate comments are here: GERALD WATSON “As with most issues, the first step is to get a handle on what the city spends and how. Is there any way to get a greater return on what we are already spending? “Policing is expensive and necessary. “One of the best returns on investment is targeting repeat property crime offenders. The vast majority of property crimes (theft and vandalism) are perpetrated by a very small number of repeat offenders. Focusing policing efforts on that small group can have a tremendous effect. “I am also very impressed by the Downtown Ambassador program operated by the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association. Uniformed, enthusiastic workers with radios provide a reassuring presence and help put those in need in touch with the services they need. It would be a tremendous boon if the other business districts were to build similar programs.” BRAD SERL “Crime is a key concern for many citizens, be it vandalism to public intoxication to theft, everyone wants to reduce crime rates. “While the community policing initiatives have been quite successful in reducing crime in Kamloops, I

KAMLOOPS BYELECTION 2017 Saturday, Sept. 30

#Kampaign17 think two key issues that need to be addressed to further reduce crime are housing and drug addiction. “Many crimes committed in Kamloops are crimes of desperation — desperation for food or desperation for money to feed an addiction. “Funding a housing-first program would reduce the number of people who are on the streets and, once they’re off the streets, it is easier to make addiction recovery programs stick. Many other communities in North America have done so (Medicine Hat is an excellent example) and the cost of the housing programs is recouped via policing, emergencyresponse and health-care cost reductions.” KEVIN KRUEGER “These issues, exacerbated by the influx of strangers to Kamloops during our summer of wildfires, require a gentle but firm response from the community as a whole, supporting the RCMP and Kamloops bylaw enforcement personnel. “Public health and Kamloops’ quality of life are obviously impacted by the behaviour of disorderly, rude, unsanitary and obnoxious individuals, and crime. “A citizens’ watch initiative in support of ,and in conjunction with, law enforcement and social agencies should be organized and tightly managed by the city. “Twenty-four-hour court support should be arranged with the attorney-general’s ministry and zero

tolerance of lawless behaviour in our neighbourhoods and streets enforced.” LESLIE LAX “An effective response to crime must include more than just enforcement and policing; it must also include a comprehensive response to poverty, homelessness, mental health and addiction. “In addition, we need programs targeted at awareness and prevention. “The North Shore Community Policing Office is one example of an effective community partnership that could be introduced to other neighbourhoods. Recent statistics show a reduction in reported crimes reflecting the work done by the RCMP, bylaw officers and volunteer crime prevention programs. “Still more needs to be done. We need ongoing collaboration between the RCMP, the city, social agencies, residents and businesses to continue making our city safer.” JEANNE MARR “With the amount of nuisance and vagrancy calls rising by 9.5 per cent since 2016, as well as the increased number of homeless people in the city, we need to have the conversation about the underlying issues and possible solutions. “As a city, we are only as strong as our most vulnerable and it is up to us to address these issues. We have myriad social programs here in Kamloops and it was an excellent suggestion on behalf of the RCMP to approach the homeless and vagrant in a partnership with one of our social agencies, such as Ask Wellness, which can offer help and resources.”

A look at crime and policing From A10

KAMLOOPS BYELECTION 2017

BILL SARAI “First of all, I want to thank the local RCMP members for doing a great job. It is very unlikely for the police to be at any crime scene before it occurs. “Property crime is affecting us all. It is time to push back, so it is up to us as citizens to step up in a more proactive way to assist police. “I would like to see more block watch programs throughout the city and strengthen and create more neighbourhood associations, so each area can be made aware of issues before residents become victims.” “If elected, I am more than willing to sit down with any neighbourhood and/or business association on a regular basis to hear any concerns I may help address to the proper agencies.

#Kampaign17 “We also need to push the local agencies to bring back the needle-exchange program. It is unacceptable for our residents, especially our children, to be exposed to discarded used needles throughout our city. The saying goes that it takes a whole village to raise a child and it also takes a whole village to keep the child safe. “Get to know your neighbours, exchange numbers and be the eyes and ears of your block when you are home. Together we are stronger and safer.” KATHY SINCLAIR “Everyone has the right to feel safe in our community. “Continued RCMP and bylaws officers’ presence and

enforcement is vital to ensure that safety. The CAP Team is making a positive difference downtown. “I’d like to champion something like this on the North Shore to alleviate some of the concerns of businesses and residents. “Enforcement isn’t always required; presence is. Increasing positive activity in challenging neighbourhoods — through real-estate development, density, sports and cultural activities and a mix of desirable businesses — will bring more people into areas that are problematic, developing community and creating a natural ‘neighbourhood watch.’ “Beyond this, we need to get to the root causes of crime. “What if we had more social workers connecting those on the street with needed services, in addition to the law?

A look at crime and policing

From A12

ASHLEE HUDIE “When our friends and neighbours put on their uniform each day, they never know what to expect, but too often their day requires intervention in disturbances involving mental-health issues and addiction. “As a city councillor, I would like to see increased deployment of Naloxone kits, the establishment of safeinjection sites and an expansion of social services available to vulnerable people. “In recent years, calls related to social disturbances have increased and are draining policing resources. “To this end, the city needs to address vagrancy, addiction and mental-health issues in a meaningful way. “In a recent circuit of downtown Kamloops businesses, I heard a consistent complaint: failure to address these issues has led to increased panhandling in storefronts, driving away potential customers. The time for talk has passed; it’s time to help our city and our police force.”

JIM MICHALS “The answers are not simple. “Present programs across police, substance abuse/recovery and rehabilitation must be aligned and integrated in a smart, efficient and compassionate spirit. “I support a threestep program proposed by a number of Kamloops leaders to deal with crime and substance dependency in this manner. What is for certain is that security and crime issues are escalating and need to be lessened in the next year. With the right municipal team players and provincial leadership, we can do it together.” RAY DHALIWAL “As a locksmith for over 35 years in Kamloops, I have never seen such a rise in crime from vehicles and property theft, along with drug- and firearms-related offences. “It has made Kamloops residents live in fear in their own neighbourhoods when they are

of panhandlers, drug users, criminals and vagrants who continue to harass our citizens and create crime in our shopping districts and neighbourhoods. “The social impact on our citizens is overwhelming. The time to stop this is now.”

Those who would be mayor talk policing ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The six mayoral candidates address the issue of crime and policing: Bill McQuarrie said while Kamloopsians are concerned about a rise in thefts from vehicles, vagrancy and similar issues, it’s worth noting crime numbers in the city are falling.

“It seems to me Kamloops RCMP has taken a very positive turn,” he said. “They’re looking at the root cause of crime — addictions and mental health — and they’re working at the source to try and prevent future crimes. That’s the direction I would like to continue to go.” He suggested RCMP do more targeted enforcement activities,

Mcleod said he has heard residents feel the police are too busy and don’t have enough officers He wants to review officer counts and determine if the issue is numbers or that existing Mounties aren’t visible enough.

He suggests officers spend less time in vehicles and step up foot patrols. Stuart Holland said officers are doing what they can in the face of addictions issues that go along with the rise in complaints of vagrancy and petty crime, but added there is a need for more frequent foot patrols. He wants the city to lobby the provincial government and

DIRECT TO SMELTER – PRECIOUS METALS RECYCLING ROADSHOW RETURNS TO KAMLOOPS

Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin returns to Kamloops September 13th and 14th. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Brock Activity Centre between 9am and 4pm each day. No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin. “Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter” said Dick. “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Barry Dick Major purchases President of Ursa Major gold and silver from Gold, Silver & Coin other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as the general public.” In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices appear low but the weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong. Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver, coins and paper money while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are graded and set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewellery and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification. Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not. “If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it is also about information” says Dick. “A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark of what things are worth; we don’t pressure anyone into selling”. Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970’s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984. “Nearly half of the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold. Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce. That prevents a lot of diesel from being burned.” Gold and silver purchased at the show and later melted goes back into the market without incurring that environmental cost. Out of fashion jewelry, single earrings, broken chains, unloved jewelry, charm bracelets, dental gold, nuggets and fine gold are all accepted. “We can assess any coin ever made for collector or precious metal value, including world coins and ancient coins.” People are encouraged to bring in any and all coins for assessment. Ursa Major also assesses and purchases Canadian and Dominion of Canada Paper Money. They have extensive experience working with estates, executors, widows and widowers in a respectful and caring manner. No appointment necessary.

encourage harsher penalties for drug dealers whose products lead to overdose, and to require groups giving out drug use supplies to take more responsibility for discarded needles. “I’ve heard rumours some non-profit societies are giving out cases of needles to make sure they’re going to be clean, but they’re not asking for these used needles to come back,” he said. “That’s where the needle problem is coming from.” Ken Christian said he thinks the city council on which he sat made a good decision when it increased funding to allow for up to 130 RCMP members, but added the city needs to work on getting those officers here. On social issues and petty crime, Christian said he wants to see groups offering harm reduction live up to commitments they’ve made to city council. “Originally on council, when we were talking about observation sites and injection sites, that was supposed to come with a lot of wraparound services,” he said. “There was a lot of talk about access to mental health and addictions and treatment options, but I haven’t really seen the commitment fulfilled.” Micheal McKenzie said the city needs to look at short- and

long-term strategies to improve the quality of life of Kamloopsians dealing with homelessness, addictions and other social issues. “We need to engage with those people,” he said. “From what I can tell, it’s lack of affordable housing, it’s quality of life.” McKenzie said he wants to see the city encourage the use of restorative justice and look at ways to involve youth in city life, to prevent them from becoming disengaged as adults. He suggests a youth council, which would be given real political weight. Glenn Hilke also suggests looking for ways to engage people who maybe be involved in activities that catch public attention but are less serious — graffiti taggers, for instance. Hilke said the city should consider outreach to the graffiti community to find “places of expression, that are going to diminish the expression we don’t want to see.” Hilke said he also wants to see more transparency from law enforcement around its enforcement decisions. And he added the city overall could look to foster a more generous attitude toward people who, while they may be committing petty crimes, are often living at the edges of survival and require help.

Byelection mayoral hopefuls talk food policy at forum fringes, suggesting the city create a community garden aimed at homeless and marginalized, using projects tried in the United States, and plant fruit trees in parks to provide a casual food source. “If we had bylaws out there and they carried a few of those apples or pears or peaches, and when they met someone in need they gave them one of those instead of a ticket, now they’re engaged,” he said. Christian, who largely used his opening statements to discuss work on school meal programs from his School District 73 trustee days, said the city should step up and find more land for community gardening programs, which are in high demand. Asked how they would support the farmers’ market, all three name-checked the former Stuart Wood elementary. Christian believes the school could become a viable permanent location for a year-round market and said Kamloops’ tourism and hospitality sector should be encouraged to promote the market to guests. “Next to the Kamloops

Kamloops’ first mayoral candidate debate saw candidates agreeing with each other more often than not as three hopefuls for the city’s top job talked food and agriculture Wednesday. Ken Christian, Glenn Hilke and Bill McQuarrie all pledged their support for community gardening and the Kamloops Farmers’ Market at the evening debate, hosted by the Kamloops Food Policy Council. Hilke said he sees access to healthy foods as a benefit of poverty-reduction plans he hopes to put into action at city hall. “If you don’t have money to spend on food because you have to pay an inordinate per cent of your income on rent, then you’re doomed,” he said. “You’re doomed to the routine of ‘I have to go here for breakfast, I have to go here for lunch, I have to go here for support if I want meals.’” McQuarrie said he wants to see the city look at ways it can engage with people who may now feel pushed to the

Blazers, the farmers’ market is the next biggest attraction in bringing people out in Kamloops,” he said. Hilke said he would like to see Stuart Wood become an “agricultural school” and McQuarrie suggested its grounds could provide more community garden land, while the building could be opened up to provide washroom facilities for market patrons. McQuarrie and Hilke also united over criticism of the city’s recycling deal with Recycle B.C. (formerly MMBC), which removed glass and soft plastic from curb-side collection. “We’re going backwards on recycling,” said McQuarrie, with Hilke noting the city’s new setup now means residents are using more fossil fuels to drive to recycling depots across the city. Christian — who was a city councillor when the Recycle B.C. deal was announced — had by that time left for another event, and did not weigh in. The remaining three mayoral contenders — Mike McKenzie, Todd Mcleod and Stu Holland — did not attend the food-policy forum.

Councillor candidate drops out The list of candidates for Kamloops city council is one shorter. Barbara Morin told KTW she is withdrawing from the byelection to fill two council seats due to focus on family issues following a death in the Silver family. “It’s unfortunate these things all came in the middle of August and are continuing

into September,” said Morin, adding she doesn’t have time to dedicate to campaigning under the circumstances. Morin said she may try running for council again in the general civic election in October 2018. & Gold In 2014, Morin staged an unsuccessful campaign for a seat on School District 73’s board of education.

The NDP government is penalizing B.C. motorists by hiking basic rates more than six per cent and not bringing in solutions laid out in a recent report, according to Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone. Stone, former highways minister and minister responsible for ICBC under the previous B.C. Liberal government, accused the New Democrats this week of reannouncing measures he started in order to bring down costs, including increased use of red light cameras and cracking down on distracted driving. Instead of looking at measures in the recent Ernst and Young report commissioned by the Liberals, the government is hitting drivers on the basic and optional side of insurance, Stone said. Like the NDP, Stone has ruled out photo radar and no-fault insurance, both options in the report. But there are a suite of other

possible measures, he said, including capping financial awards for minor injuries and instead focusing on medical treatment. The NDP is placing blame for ICBC’s financial woes on the former Liberal government, which oversaw it for 16 years. But Stone said Minister of Justice and Attorney-General David Eby “needs to come up with a credible plan” beyond hiking rates. The province reported ICBC had its largest ever loss last year, amounting to a half-billion dollars. Eby said in a statement the increase is far less than what

would have come under the Liberals. “Our commitment to British Columbians is to make life more affordable for them — forcing a 20 per cent rate increases on drivers is a non-starter,” Eby said. ICBC will apply to the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) for a basic rate increase of 6.4 per cent, or $57 per year for the average driver. There will also be an increase in the optional extended coverage rate of 3.1 per cent for the first quarter, with quarterly increases of 2.2 per cent to a maximum of 9.6 per cent. Drivers that have both basic and optional coverage — most drivers, according to Eby — will face a blended rate hike of eight per cent, or $130 annually, on average. The rate increases will take effect Nov. 1. The basic increase will be made on an interim basis, subject to the BCUC’s approval of the rate increase application. Last year’s basic rate hike was 4.9 per cent.

tiny homes in pipeline’s path LAURA KANE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CHASE — First Nations protesters in British Columbia are planning to place tiny homes directly in the path of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, an idea drawn from an influential Indigenous movement in the United States. Activists say the houses are symbols of sustainability in the face of what they see as an environmentally damaging project. They are based on structures built at a sprawling protest camp in North Dakota initiated by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline drew international attention and was credited with achieving a temporary halt to construction. Kanahus Manuel of the Secwepemc Nation in B.C. said she hopes the structures also have a powerful effect in Canada. “Our goal is to stop this pipeline. Our goal is to stop investors from investing in this pipeline,’’ she said. “If I don’t stand up for my rights and our title as a Secwepemc woman and as a mother, I’m leaving this fight even greater for my children. I love my children so much that I’ll do whatever I can to protect their water and their salmon for all of their future.’’

Contractors announced CALGARY — The company behind the controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion says it has picked contractors to work on the project extending between Alberta and British Columbia. Kinder Morgan Canada says it has selected or signed agreements with six firms that have experience in building pipelines and major infrastructure projects in both provinces. The company says contractors will directly hire individu-

Trans Mountain, a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan Canada, plans to begin construction this month on a $7.4-billion expansion of its 1,150-kilometre pipeline that carries crude oil from Alberta to B.C.’s southern coast. Members of the Secwepemc Nation and Greenpeace gathered at a site near Chase on Thursday to build the first of 10 tiny homes that they say will be moved to Secwepemc traditional territory near Kamloops to block pipeline construction. Manuel said she lived in a tiny home at the Dakota protest for three months in 2016 and asked the designer to create plans for structures that could be placed along the Trans Mountain route.

als and sub-contractors, and there will be employment opportunities for local, regional and Aboriginal communities. Construction on the $7.4-billion project is expected to begin this month, and the company says it will take about 28 months to complete. The National Energy Board said last week that the company has met all 49 preconstruction conditions necessary for the expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal.

The insulated wood houses are to be occupied by Secwepemc people who are struggling with inadequate housing. They are to be 5.5 metres wide and 3.6 metres tall, with wood stoves and solar panels, she said. “A part of this tiny house project and movement is that we want to continue to have these, not just as a battle against the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but to help solve some of the housing crises that Indigenous people are facing,’’ she said. Police evicted the remaining protesters from the Dakota Access Pipeline protest in February, a month after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to advance construction of the

controversial project. Trans Mountain said in a statement that it supports the right of demonstrators to peacefully express their views. “When it comes to our operating and construction sites, safety is our first priority — safety of our workers, communities and everyone near our worksites. And to that end, we will make every effort to ensure we can carry out our work safely,’’ it said. Fifty-one First Nations have signed mutual benefit agreements with Trans Mountain, including some bands that are part of the broader Secwepemc Nation, but the project still faces strong opposition from some Indigenous groups. A number of First Nations and environmental groups have filed lawsuits challenging Canada’s approval of the project, which are set to be heard together in October. B.C.’s NDP government has obtained intervener status. Mike Hudema, a climate campaigner with Greenpeace, said the federal government’s support of Trans Mountain is at odds with its commitment to the Paris climate change agreement. “These homes are about creativity,’’ he said. “They’re about hope. They’re about resistance and they’re about a more sustainable vision for the future.’’

Toronto among Canadian cities wooing Amazon Tech giant looking for city to house its second headquarters THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Toronto Mayor John Tory says he will be “leading the charge’’ to convince Amazon that it should call the city its second home. Amazon announced on Thursday that it is hunting for a site for a new headquarters in North America, in addition to its sprawling Seattle hub. Mayor Tory says he believes Toronto is a “prime candidate.’’ “We are a bold, innovative city that has plenty of homegrown tech talent. We also continue to attract talent and companies from around the world... I will be leading the charge to make the case that Amazon should call Toronto home,’’ he said in a statement. City staff are working with Toronto Global, a new agency

dedicated to attracting global investment to Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, to put together an “attractive bid for this opportunity,’’ Tory added. Amazon says that it will spend more than $5 billion US to build another headquarters in North America to house as many as 50,000 employees. The technology company plans to stay in its current Seattle headquarters and the new space will be “a full equal’’ of its current home, said Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos. Cities have until Oct. 19 to apply through a special website, and Amazon said it will make a final decision next year. While many cities will likely be clamouring to make their pitch to Amazon as well, candidates must meet specific

requirements to be considered. Key criteria include: a prime location, access to mass transit and proximity to an international airport. Any potential site must have room to grow, as Amazon wants to expand its new headquarters to as much as 8 million square feet in the next decade. That’s about the same size as its current home in Seattle. Other Canadian cities, such as Waterloo or Vancouver, may also fit the bill. A spokesman for Waterloo mayor Dave Jaworsky says it is too early to comment. Amazon said its search is open to any metropolitan area in North America that meets the parameters — the city itself doesn’t necessarily have to be a million people — but declined to say how open it was to going outside of the United States.

Canada could face U.S. ‘Dreamer’ influx THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to end protections for those who entered the U.S. illegally as children could spark a new wave of immigration and asylum requests, some analysts warn. If that happens, they say, Canada’s already stressed systems would come under further

pressure and potentially intensify a backlash against newcomers. About 1.7 million illegal migrants to the United States — the vast majority of them Mexicans — are either registered or qualify for registration under a five-year-old policy called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA. The program, which Trump wants ended,

A19

allows them to obtain work permits and protects them from deportation. If even a fraction of those look north, it would still be a significant number of so-called Dreamers who might try to make Canada home. Guidy Mamann, an immigration lawyer and policy analyst in Toronto, said he has already received phone calls about it.

Nations rush to help islands devastated by Hurricane Irma

Israel strikes deep in Syria, targets military facility

EZEQUIEL LOPEZ ABIU DANICA COTO

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT — Israeli warplanes struck a military position near the Mediterranean coast in western Syria Thursday, killing two soldiers, the Syrian army said, in a stronghold of President Bashar Assad that is also heavily protected by the Russians and Iranians. The airstrike targeted a facility near the town of Masyaf, in Hama province, described by some as a missile producing factory, amid Israeli outrage over Iran’s growing influence in the war-torn country. Other reports suggested the facility was tied to Syria’s chemical weapons program. In a statement, the Syrian army said the Israeli warplanes fired several missiles.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — French, British and Dutch rescuers rushed aid to a heavily damaged string of Caribbean islands Thursday after Hurricane Irma left at least seven people dead and thousands homeless as it spun toward Florida for what could be a catastrophic blow this weekend. Warships and military planes were dispatched with food, water and troops after the fearsome Category 5 storm smashed homes, schools and roads, laying waste to some of the world’s most beautiful and exclusive tourist destinations. Hundreds of miles to the west, Florida braced for the onslaught, with forecasters warning Irma could slam headlong into the Miami metropolitan area of six-million people, punish the entire length of the state’s Atlantic coast and move into Georgia and South Carolina. More than a half-million

Irma appears increasingly likely to rip into heavily populated South Florida early Sunday. Gov. Rick Scott has declared an emergency and mandatory evacuation orders are in place for parts of the Miami metro area and the Florida Keys. Irma’s top sustained winds

people in Miami-Dade County were ordered to leave as Irma closed in with winds of 280 km/h. “Take it seriously,’’ said Maj. Jeremy DeHart, a U.S. Air Force Reserve weather officer who flew through the eye of Irma at 10,000 feet. “Because this is the real deal.’’ By Thursday afternoon, the hurricane was north of the Dominican Republic, where authorities reported some flooding and the evacuation of several thousand locals and tourists, but no serious damage or casualties. Skies over the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, were

weakened by about 16 km/h on Thursday because of dry air and interaction with land on the island of Hispaniola. However, meteorologist Jeff Masters with Weather Underground said Irma could strengthen again to 300 km/h or higher as it heads to warmer, deeper water.

still clear just after noon local time. About a million people were without power in Puerto Rico after Irma sideswiped the island, but there were no immediate reports of largescale casualties. But the first islands hit by the storm were scenes of terrible destruction. French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said four people were confirmed dead and about 50 injured on the French side of St. Martin, an island split between Dutch and French control. The toll could rise because rescue teams had yet to get a complete look at the damage.

Three more deaths were reported on the British island of Anguilla, independent Barbuda and the Dutch side of St. Martin. Irma also slammed the French island of St. Barts, tearing off roofs and knocking out electricity. French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb said 100,000 food rations were sent to St. Barts and St. Martin, the equivalent of four days of supplies. “It’s a tragedy. We’ll need to rebuild both islands,’’ he said. “Most of the schools have been destroyed.’’ Photos and video of St. Martin circulating on social media showed major damage to the Philipsburg airport and heavy flooding in the coastal village of Marigot. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the storm “caused wide-scale destruction of infrastructure, houses and businesses.’’ “There is no power, no gasoline, no running water. Houses are under water, cars are floating through the streets,” he said.

The official added, however, that the U.S. has yet to establish a conclusive view on last weekend’s underground explosion, which independent experts have said was the North’s most powerful yet. The official was briefing reporters on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the administration.

Merkel’s spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said the German leader spoke by phone Thursday with Xi and both expressed great concern about the situation in North Korea. He said both leaders advocated tougher sanctions against North Korea, but agreed that dialogue must continue to find a peaceful solution to the crisis. China’s state broadcaster, China Central Television, said Xi told Merkel that China remains committed to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and to the region’s peace and stability. “Facts have repeatedly proven that the Korean Peninsula issue can only be resolved through peaceful means, including dialogue and consultation,” Xi said. “This requires the international community to work together.”

Starting up in September Consider September Startup Month in Kamloops. This weekend sees Startup Weekend take place from Friday through Sunday, with the following weekend bringing the 2017 BC Regional Startup Canada Awards. Startup Weekend is a 54-hour event where designers, developers, marketers, and startup enthusiasts come together to launch startups. As part of a global movement, Kamloops is one of more than 1,142 cities in 140-plus countries to host similar Startup Weekend related events. Participants will meet in the Brown Family’s House of Learning at Thompson Rivers University, where they will form teams, create ideas and develop them over the course of the weekend with help from mentors, investors, co-founders and sponsors. “This event is not only for students, but for professionals of all ages looking to be more involved in the tech and startup community”, said Amanda

Chan, community builder at Kamloops Innovation. Tickets are on sale until Friday at 4 p.m. Tickets include meals and beverages, gifts, Wi-Fi and printing needs. For more information about Startup Weekend, call 250682-2936, email Kamloops@ startupweekend.org or go online to the event’s website (http:// communities.techstars.com/ canada/kamloops/startupweekend/11304), Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ startupweekendkamloops) or Twitter account (www.twitter. com/swkamloops). The Startup Weekend will be followed on Friday, Sept. 15, by the 2017 BC Regional Startup Canada Awards. Entrepreneurs from across Western Canada will be at the Rex Hall, at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue. The event awards technology companies and individuals from B.C. and Alberta in 17 categories and is the only one of its kind for the two provinces.

Kamloops Innovation Centre (KIC) executive director Lincoln Smith said his organization, which partnered with Startup Canada, was able to attract the event as a result of a funding partnership between KIC and the City of Kamloops, which allowed his organization to sponsor a portion of a similar event held in Vancouver last year. Kamloops-based businesses have taken home several of the awards at previous Startup Canada events. Hummingbird Drones CEO Robert Atwood won young entrepreneur of the year in 2015 and iTel Networks won regional and national awards for highgrowth entrepreneurship in 2016. The Sept. 15 gala at the Rex Hall will run from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. A reception will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., followed by the ceremony until 8:30 p.m. Startup Kamloops and Kamloops Innovation are regional hosts of the event.

New playground on way A new playground will soon grace the grounds of Marion Schilling elementary in Valleyview. The school’s Stephen Dormer Memorial Park was among the winners in a recent BCAA Play Here Contest. The $100,000 prize will see the playground upgraded from its 1983 design. As highlighted in its nomination, the Marion Schilling playground is a central hub used throughout the year by many families and residents as it borders a busy community hall, lacrosse box, soc-

cer field and day care. The upgraded playground will include features designed for kids ages five to 12: • Zip track and roller slide; • High net climber and other climbing structures with varying

angles and heights; • Interconnected circuit features that allow children to move from one element to another without having to set foot on the ground. • Double slide, firefighter pole and balancing beam;

• Wheelchairaccessible ground surface and accessible features. The existing playground is named in memory of Stephen Dormer, who was killed in a car crash with his friend, Toby Love, for whom another memorial award was created. Stephen was the son of John L. Dormer, former mayor of Kamloops who died in April. Elements from the original playground structure will be used to create memorial pieces that will be incorporated into the new play space.

It’s time to ask about suicide In recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day this Sunday, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), in partnership with London Drugs, is urging British Columbians to “ask about suicide” and become more suicide aware by going online to askaboutsuicide.ca. Research shows that, in many cases, suicide can be prevented and that it is not only health-care professionals who are qualified to reach out and help someone in crisis.

The CMHA says everybody has the ability to help save a life. The focus of CMHA’s Ask About Suicide online awareness campaign is to empower people from all walks of life with the confidence, knowledge and skills to be able to reach out to those most at risk. Statistically, most at risk are men in their 40s and 50s. That age group year after year experiences the highest number of suicides nationally, according to figures compiled by Statistics

Canada in 2014. The CMHA notes that, while there are far more attempts made by females, males take their own lives four times more often. In fact, latest statistics reveal that, in Canada, 75 per cent of those who died by suicide were male. The CMHA says there are many myths and misconceptions about suicide, noting the Ask About Suicide online campaign aims to replace those with facts and practical information.

Parkinson’s Superwalk in Riverside Park on Saturday The annual Parkinson’s Superwalk will take place this Saturday in Riverside Park. Participants will meet at the Rotary Bandshell, where registration will begin at 10 a.m., with the walk commencing at 11 a.m. Communities across the country organize walks to raise funds for critical programs, support services, advocacy efforts and contributions to research. This year, the goal is to attract more than 2,500 walkers from across the province. In 2016, the society contributed $120,000 to Parkinson Canada Research Program, $30,000 of which was matched by Parkinson Quebec. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. It develops gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand.

Over 4.8 billion Google searches are performed by Canadians every month. According to ComScore over 62% of these searches are done via mobile phones. Since mobile search is so prominent with local intent, it’s valuable to understand how effective local advertising is to your business. Mobile ads are a strong part in driving search traffic to local websites. Many business owners are unaware of their ability to track potential customers. In order to track traffic and prospects you must have analytics set up on your website. I guess the next question is, do you have a website? If so, is it

mobile friendly and responsive?

Perhaps your business needs a health check? A big part of my role as a Digital Marketing Strategist is to help businesses identify goals and develop strategy to create their digital footprint. If your business holds a Facebook page with a most recent post from September 2011 and a website lagging on speed without mobile capability, I would like to hear from you! My intention is to look for missed opportunity and help educate business owners on marketing services they now have access to.

Black humour and heart launches new WCT season HISTORICAL PLAY AT TRANQUILLE Chimera Theatre’s Witness tells story of the Cooney family — the bay’s namesakes B3

Western Canada Theatre is launching its new season with a staging of The Best Brothers, which will be performed at Pavilion Theatre from Thursday, Sept. 14, to Saturday, Sept. 23. Pavilion Theatre is at 10th Avenue and Lorne Street, just east of downtown. The Best Brothers involves an unexpected death that leaves two very different brothers to arrange the funeral, write the eulogy and ponder if mother’s favourite son was . . . the dog. When the free-spirited woman dies suddenly, her two middle-aged sons bicker over her funeral arrangements, her personal effects — and her feisty Italian Greyhound. Unearthing decades of buried rivalry, they ponder meaningful questions, such as, “Who did she love the most?” and “Who has to take the dog?”

TIFF UNDERWAY IN TORONTO Denzel Washington, Jennifer Lawrence and Louis C.K. among celebs expected to show B4

DISNEY READIES NETFLIX RIVAL The film juggernaut is adding star power — and Star Wars — to its future streaming service B5

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

The Best Brothers is an eccentric modern comedy written by Daniel McIver, who displays an ability to tackle what might be considered uncomfortable subject matter and, through wry observation and zinging dialogue, engage the audience with humour and understanding. The production features four artists staging a play in Kamloops for the first time: Aidan deSalaiz plays uptight brother Hamilton Best, while Ryan James Miller plays the slightly flighty Kyle Best. Directing is Sharon Bajer, while costume designer is Suzannah Marriott. Kamloops audiences will be familiar with the work of locals Ross Nichol (set and lighting designer) and Christine Leroux (stage manager). Western Canada Theatre is co-producing the season-opening play with Theatre NorthWest in Prince George,

where it will hit the stage in April. Tickets for The Best Brothers can be purchased at Kamloops Live! Box Office by calling 250-374-5483, going online to kamloopslive.ca or visiting the office at 1025 Lorne St. (at the corner of Lorne Street and 10th Avenue). • Western Canada Theatre will follow The Best Brothers with Million Dollar Quartet, based on the book by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux and inspired by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins.

Comic Strippers return to Kamloops SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Comic Strippers will play Kamloops on Sept. 15.

t’s a comedy show without any scripts — and without any shirts. The Comic Strippers try to be sexy. The characters in the show, all named Chip, think they’re pulling it off, too. Oiled-up “comedy bodies” dance across the stage as they take suggestions from the audience on what to do next. The show has taken the Vancouver-based improv group all over Canada, up and down the West Coast of the United States and even to Australia. But it’s their upcoming Kamloops show that’s on one comedian-stripper’s mind. “Kamloops is my home town, so it’s wicked to come on home,” said Ken Lawson, who, like all other cast members, plays Chip. Lawson’s history in the city includes playing in a number of bands and a tenure as Billy Miner, the outlaw train robber featured in the Two River Junction production put on for the Rocky Mountaineer. Lawson has been back to Kamloops with the strippers twice before, in 2015 and 2016. The homecoming can still get him a little nervous before the show if there are people he knows in the audience.

“I used to be super shy about taking my shirt off, so the fact that I’m in my late 40s and not only taking my shirt off, but flaunting it. . . . It feels really great, to be honest,” he said. Lawson said he feels lucky to be able to travel with friends and perform a show that provides people an escape into a “foolish, ridiculous world” where the troupe’s dad-bodied performers

could possibly be strippers. “We try to act sexy, and our characters think they’re really sexy and hot, but we have very average and non-toned bodies. So it just becomes so silly,” he said. The show is performed by members of the Vancouver TheatreSports League and was created by Roman Danylo, whose comedy credits include Comedy Inc., Corner Gas and Just for Laughs.

Kamloops is the fourth stop on the group’s tour, which will continue onto Vernon and then Alberta and the rest of Canada right through to June of next year. Lawson will hit the stage in his uncomfortably tight-looking pants on Sept. 15 at Sagebrush Theatre. Tickets are available through the Kamloops Live box office.

her beloved ranch to Victoria for fraction of what the property was worth. The Witness — a play produced and now being performed by Chimera Theatre at Tranquille on the Lake, west of Kamloops Airport at 4600 Tranquille Rd. — tells the story of how family members and staff at the King Edward Sanatorium came together after the death of Betsy in 1942 to discover what really transpired between Betsy and devilish government carpetbaggers. The true story has been researched and written by Chimera Theatre members. The interactive play is being

performed amongst the fabled buildings and tunnel system at Tranquille, which is also the grounds of the legendary King Edward Sanatorium and site of what was once known as Padova, Three one-hour shows will be performed each Thursday Friday and Saturday, with the last show scheduled for Oct. 21. Show times are at 7 p.m., 8:15 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The Witness is being presented by Chimera Theatre and its partner, Tranquille Farm Fresh, a Kamloops-based company that provides a variety of family entertainment activities each fall celebrating the rich history of the

Tranquille On the Lake property. Tickets to The Witness are available online at www.tranquillefarmfresh.ca.

Demi Lovato working to help those impacted by DACA, storm The Associated Press

The Witness inhabits Tranquille One-hundred-and-fifty years ago, Betsy and Charles Cooney (after whom the bay is named) settled at the confluence of Tranquille Creek, teh Thompson River and Kamloops Lake with their two-week-old daughter Kathrine. Over the years, the ranching couple became local legends as their fruit and produce won prizes in Europe, their horse herd grew to become Canada’s largest and they expanded their ranch west 30 kilometres to the end of Kamloops Lake.

NEW YORK — Demi Lovato says she’s reached out to the nonprofit organization Voto Latino to find out how she can help after President Donald Trump said he’s rescinding a program that allows young immigrants who were brought to America as children to remain in the U.S. Trump’s administration said Tuesday it is phasing out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA program, but is giving Congress six months to take action on it. Lovato, who is white and Mexican, said she reached out to actor Wilmer Valderrama, who has worked with Voto Latino, to see how she can help out. The pop singer and Valderrama dated for six years until last year. “I work with Voto Latino sometimes and I contacted Wilmer [Valderrama], who’s part of the organization. I contacted him and said, ‘What can I do to help?’ So we’re going to try to figure something out,’’ Lovato said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday. Former President Barack Obama created DACA by executive order in 2012. “We’re so fortunate in the United States and we have it so lucky compared to some other countries. And it’s sad, it’s frustrating and it just goes to show you that this isn’t — this is just a race problem. I genuinely believe that this is just a race problem and I think that it’s something [that] is just not right, and we need to stand up for the things we believe in,’’ she said. “All I can do is post on Twitter and text my senators on the Resistbot and raise the awareness as much as I can. But I feel kind of helpless.’’ Lovato, 25, grew up in Dallas and said she’s also been working to assist those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Harvey has killed at least 70 people who drowned in floods, got crushed by trees and died during power outages. “I have family in Dallas and everybody is OK and safe. . . . I started a fundraiser with the Houston Food Bank,’’ she said.

TIFF kicks off with tennis film THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Toronto International Film Festival kicked off Thursday with the story of an epic tennis rivalry. Borg/McEnroe, about the two tennis stars who battled at Wimbledon in 1980, was the opening night film. Shia LaBeouf is among the film’s stars and is expected to attend the 11-day festival. Other films in the lineup include Suburbicon, directed by George Clooney, Darren Aronofsky’s mother!, starring Jennifer Lawrence, and Alexander Payne’s Downsizing. About a third of the films in the lineup are directed by women, including Angelina Jolie’s First They Killed My Father. About 340 films will screen at this year’s fest, which runs until Sept. 17. It’s a smaller number than in recent years — a result of a TIFF mandate to trim the overall number of titles by 20 per cent. Organizers said they made the changes in response to feedback from audiences, the industry and the media. Piers Handling, director and CEO of TIFF, said this year’s lineup features adventurous work by major filmmakers at a time when the instinct is to not take risks.

Shia LaBeouf plays former tennis star John McEnroe in Borg/McEnroe, which kicked off the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday.

“It’s terrific to see these very strong, very individualistic, challenging pieces of work still being done,’’ he said in a recent interview. “People talk about the death of independent cinema and how everything is a franchise or a comic book or that kind of thing — it’s not really true,’’ added Cameron Bailey, artistic director of TIFF. “Some of the best filmmakers are still getting the chance to tell adventurous stories, to be bold with the ideas in their movies and to still work with big budgets.’’ Other stars expected to

attend the festival include Denzel Washington (Roman J. Israel, Esq.), Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba (both of Molly’s Game) and Steve Carell and Emma Stone (co-stars of Battle Of The Sexes). Some A-listers will also discuss their craft at a multitude of Q-and-A special events, including Jolie, Helen Mirren, Glenn Close and Javier Bardem. Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan will speak at an IMAX screening of Dunkirk, Aaron Sorkin will conduct a master class and Louis C.K. will do a live TIFF Long Take podcast for his film I Love You, Daddy.

arts&entertainment Disney adds star power to its planned streaming service THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Disney is adding more firepower to its upcoming streaming service . Its Star Wars and Marvel comic-book movies will be included in the service, making it the only way to stream those movies on demand in the U.S. as part of a monthly subscription — so, not on Netflix. A price hasn’t been announced yet. The service is expected in late 2019 after Disney’s current deal with Netflix expires. Previously Disney announced the inclusion of just Disney and Pixar movies and Disney TV shows. Adding the Star Wars and Marvel movies could make the new service appealing to teenagers and adults, not just families with young children. The Marvel movies include the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises. The service will also have

original Disney movies, TV series and shorts. Disney CEO Bob Iger said thousands of TV episodes and hundreds of movies will be available, though shows from Disney’s ABC network aren’t coming to the service. Disney said last month it was considering moving Star Wars and Marvel to the new service, but a decision wasn’t announced until Thursday. Disney’s offering is one of many online film and TV options coming from entertainment and tech companies, with more in the works. Disney, for example, is also launching an ESPN sports streaming service early next year. It won’t replicate what’s on ESPN, for now, so it’s expected to be somewhat niche. The company’s shares slid US$4.05, or four per cent, to US$97.46 in Thursday afternoon trading. Investors may have sold because Iger said earnings per share for this fiscal year will be similar to 2015-2016.

Toronto band to play show at Blue Grotto Run Coyote will make a stop on Victoria Street as part of a brief September tour from Ontario to B.C. and back. The Toronto-based band will take the stage at Blue Grotto on Sunday, Sept. 17. The tour is to promote Run Coyote’s first new music since the 2014 album Youth Haunts and will feature new single Young Canadians, which was recorded, mixed and mastered by Simon Larochette at the Sugar Shack in London, Ont. Singer-songwriter Sam Allen said the song was inspired by life on the road. “Touring is a lot of fun, but there are days when you wake up on someone’s floor and wonder if it’s worth it,” he said. “I wanted the song to be a rallying call.” Tickets for the show, also featuring Echo Beach and Gleneagle, are $5 in advance and $10 at the door. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Taking the United Kingdom literally MARGARET DEEFHOLTS

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

t is a modest little brick cottage by the side of the road — one I could have easily missed were I not specifically looking for it. Yet, this home in Chalfont St. Giles, Buckinghamshire, was where one of England’s greatest poets and writers, John Milton, once lived and worked. During the outbreak of the great plague of London, he took refuge here in 1665. In the two years he lived in this cottage, he finished his epic Paradise Lost and started on Paradise Regained. The house, now a museum, showcases several first editions of his works and the tranquil gardens are landscaped with plants and flowers that appear in his writings. Impressive as that may be, what grabs my attention is that Milton introduced about 630 new words to the English language — “lovelorn,” “liturgical,” “padlock,” “terrific,” “odiferous” and “fragrance,” to name just a few. Literary giants, Ben Jonson and Shakespeare, by comparison are credited with coining only 558 and 229 words, respectively. I’m also rather tickled to note that Milton’s Indian Restaurant is in business directly across the street from his house. Does the ghost of the great man dine there sometimes? England’s Lake District has inspired more than one writer and poet, but the most distinguished of these is poet William Wordsworth, and Beatrix Potter, the creator of The Tale of Peter Rabbit and other stories. Dove Cottage, where Wordsworth, his wife, their three children — and his sister, Dorothy lived, is a charming two-storied house. Our enthusiastic tour guide shows us through the rooms and recounts anecdotal tales about the poet and his works.

John Milton’s cottage in Chalfont St. Giles, where he finished penning his epic Pradise Lost and started Paradise Regained.

The garden, with its bluebells and honeysuckle creepers, is as lyrical as Wordsworth’s poetry and I’m delighted to see a bed of daffodils gaily “fluttering and dancing in the breeze” along one of the pathways. Next door is the Wordsworth Museum and I spend the better part of 90 minutes fascinated by a display of his handwritten manuscripts, excerpts from Dorothy’s Grasmere diary, photo-

graphs and memorabilia. Beatrix Potter’s home, Hill Top in Cumbria, is now a National Trust property, bequeathed on condition it be kept intact with her furniture, personal belongings and china. The entrance stone-flagged pathway is bordered by rose bushes and plants in riotous bloom. Walking into the hall, it feels as though I’ve dropped by to visit, and she has just slipped out on an

Unlike the romantic Wordsworth and the genteel Potter, George Bernard Shaw was an acerbic personality with a razor-sharp wit. Indeed, it is impossible to capture his complex personality in a few paragraphs. His house at St. Lawrence isn’t easy to get to and my niece who is at the wheel, drives cautiously along a narrow, winding country road bordered by hawthorne hedgerows. The rooms of his house carry the imprint of a man whose Fabian socialist views were frequently controversial — and whose loyalties were often contradictory. The living room mantelpiece has a photograph of Gandhi, as well as framed shots of Lenin, Marx and Wagner. Shaw’s piano has an open music sheet on its stand and it’s as though he has merely stepped away, perhaps to sit at the desk in his cluttered study with its floor-to-ceiling bookcase. Second only to Shakespeare — whom he whimsically professed to dislike — Shaw was England’s greatest playwright, penning more than 60 plays and earning him a Nobel Prize for literature. Several plays were enacted both on stage and film — the most well-known being, my all-time favourite, My Fair Lady. Adapted from Shaw’s Pygmalion, I am thrilled to read an excerpt from original manuscript with Shaw’s corrections in red, squiggled across his typewritten page. Pygmalion also earned Shaw an Oscar, which didn’t impress him greatly — he reportedly used it as a paper-weight. At the very end of the lawn is a small wooden shack, much like a tool shed, but with windows. It is sparsely furnished with a desk, chair and a narrow bed. This, apparently, was Shaw’s retreat, where he could write in seclusion and, perhaps, literally dream up his next play.

X GAMES GOLD

Kris Foster used tricks like this one to claim gold at the 2017 X Games Real Moto competition. He filmed the entirety of his 90-second video in Kamloops and gave the city international exposure.

he man can flat out send it. Kris Foster of Kamloops showed the world what he can do on a motorbike in a 90-second video that earned him gold in the 2017 X Games Real Moto competition, which wrapped up with a World of X Games episode on ABC on Aug. 27. “I was pretty stoked,” said Foster, who was given the medal in a surprise presentation at an X Games event in Minneapolis. “It’s been a long time coming. I’ve been riding and doing this kind of stuff since I can remember.” A panel of industry experts judged the all-video freestyle motocross contest, in which the finalists were Foster, Axell Hodges of Encitas, Calif., Tyler Bereman of Templeton, Calif., Jackson Strong of Lockhart, Australia, and Ronnie Renner of Floral City, Fla. Some of the contestants opted to tell a story with their video, but Foster chose a different route — non-stop action. The 29-year-old rider’s video was filmed in Kamloops by Anthony Vitale, who captured beautifully both Foster’s gravity-defying tricks and the Tournament Capital’s landscape. “You’ve got to make it so when people watch it, they’re inspired to go ride,” Vitale told World of X Games. “We decided not to have a storyline because we felt we’d be using too much time. We just got as many A shots as possible and filled the whole 90 seconds with riding.” Transworld Motocross said highlights include technical wheelies and nose wheelies on tabletops, as well as a high-flying kiss of death, backflips on creative obstacles and jaw-dropping jumps on natural

terrain in the backcountry. Find his video online at xgames. espn.com. The gold medal came with a cash prize of US $20,000. Last year, Foster finished second, which paid nothing. “Our sport is really young,” said Foster, who filmed his 2016 Real Moto edit on a broken ankle. “It hasn’t developed enough. There’s barely any money in it. It’s really tough.” Foster said his style derives from riding mountain bikes around Kamloops. “I lived in Upper Sahali,” Foster said. “We could ride the urban trails to the arena downtown. There are dirt jumps and hips everywhere. The city hates it. They’d tear them down. Now that we have the bike ranch, there’s no need to have jumps through the town.” To make ends meet, Foster competes year-round across North America, ripping it up at X Games events and performing at motocross demos. He is also aiming to move into stunt work for movies. “It’s too soon to tell, but I think this [winning gold] is definitely going to play a big role in my career,” Foster said. “I’m working on some stuff right now with a stunt co-ordinator in Montreal.” But no matter where his career might take him, Foster’s home base is permanent. “I’ll never leave Kamloops,” he said. “Not permanently, anyway. I love it here. “I’m beyond words to explain how I feel about the gold medal. I think we just nailed it. We did it right.”

Only Scribes Rugby Football Club can ruin the Kamloops Raiders’ party on Saturday at Exhibition Park. They won’t be employing champagne rugby, but the East Vancouver-based side has other means to spoil opening day of the Kamloops Rugby Club’s 50th anniversary season. “Like most of the teams from the Coast we play, they are more of a larger, slower type of team whose focus is to ram the ball down your throat,” said Dillon Alexandre, who will play centre for the Raiders. “It’ll be important to give the fans a show because this will be the first time they’ll be at Exhibition Park looking at an actual clubby [clubhouse] as opposed to all of our makeshift facilities we have grown accustomed to.” The B.C. Rugby Union Mainland Division 2 League match will get underway at 1 p.m. While it has not reached completion, the KRC’s new clubhouse is standing and the Raiders are aiming to host a grand opening next spring. KRC has been without a clubhouse — an essential component to most successful rugby clubs — since 2012, when its lease ran out at 471 Chlicotin Rd. and it moved to the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh That move never panned out, along with umpteen plans for new clubhouses over the last few years, but it appears the Raiders have finally found their footing after setting up shop downtown last year. Stability off the field was accompanied by a strong season on the pitch, with the Raiders reaching the Division

2 men’s final before Meraloma of Vancouver tore them apart in the title tilt, a 38-0 drubbing. “The team this year is looking like a good mix [of younger and older players],” said third-year head coach Derek Pue, texting from Uruguay, where he is helping out with the Canadian junior rugby team. “We’ve lost a couple players in the backline, but some veterans have stepped up to help fill the gap and train up our youth. “The smoke has been pretty bad and we’ve had to modify our training to avoid impacting player health.” The Raiders’ women — who placed sixth last season in BCRU Division 1 play — will begin their 2017-2018 campaign against the UBC Okanagan Heat in Kelowna on Sept. 16. Paddy Harrington, an elder statesman club members refer to affectionately as Yoda, has been active on Facebook, with notes on alumni day, scheduled for later this month, potential dates for the clubhouse grand opening, pancake breakfasts and the Sunday morning minirugby program, which saw great success last year. “With a new clubhouse being completed and junior rugby up and running this season, it’s shaping up to be huge,” Pue said. “Fifty years is a big milestone.” With big plans abound, all signs point toward an exciting season, but the Raiders have to get past Scribes first. “We have more of a fast-paced style and our conditioning is typically an asset in games like this,” Alexandre said. “We’ll put on a show and, hopefully, it sparks a tonne of support down the stretch.”

Kamloops Storm head coach Ed Patterson and his charges are ready for their home opener at Memorial Arena on Saturday.

Storm season is here The Kamloops Storm will open the 2017-2018 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) season against the hometown Revelstoke Grizzlies on Friday. Kamloops’ home opener will take place on Saturday when the club hosts the Summerland Steam. Faceoff is at 7 p.m. at Memorial Arena. The KIJHL is composed of two conferences, with each conference containing two divisions of five teams each. There is no interlocking schedule, which means the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference teams play each other in the regular season, while the Kootenay Conference clubs play each other. Only in the league championship do teams from opposite conferences finally meet. The Okanagan-Shuswap

Conference includes the Doug Birks Division (Kamloops, 100 Mile House, Chase, Sicamous and Revelstoke) and the Okanagan Division (North Okanagan, Kelowna, Summerland, Osoyoos and Princeton). The Kootenay Conference includes the Eddie Mountain Division (Columbia Valley, Creston Valley, Fernie, Golden and Kimberley) and the Neil Murdoch Division (Beaver Valley, Castlegar, Grand Forks, Nelson and Spokane). Last season, Kamloops eliminated 100 Mile House in the first round of the playoffs, prevailing 4-2 in the best-of-seven series. The Storm were then defeated in the second round, falling to the Chase Heat in five games. Chase advanced to the KIJHL championship, where the team was swept by the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in a best-of-five series.

FAITH

Examining religion’s role in diffusing fears

ext week, it’s the 16th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. Though the intensity of anniversary events have waned over the years, the memories of the dastardly terrorist attacks have not. With the recent happenings on the Korean peninsula, the world is waiting with bated breath about the possibility of bone-chilling disasters. In our own province, the raging fire season this year has produced much discomfort, fear and tears in those whose lives have been affected. Some churches have kept their doors open for people to come in, talk and seek God’s intervention in the form of drought-quenching rains. Questions are raised,

NARYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have

FAITH

as always in painful circumstances, about the role of religion as a source of peace and comfort. On one hand, the pervading “sickness” of religious violence has increased in the current era and has been gaining the attraction of historians, sociologists, political scientists, as well as scholars of religious studies. In particular, the last 50 years or so have seen a rise in Jewish-Muslim, Hindu-Muslim, HinduChristian and, in the

latest instance, even Buddhist-Muslim animosity in border areas of Myanmar. Religious conflicts in other parts of the world have evoked new challenges and spurred thinking about the role of religion in the international political arena. Noted scholars continue to echo the dual sentiment that “religion brings war, religion brings peace. Some scholars argue religion is a source of conflict because it has an inherent tendency to promote violence. Others argue religion is a resource of peace. Still others contend “true” religion is peaceful. It’s only its deviant form that leads to violence. Conflict is not something alien to religion only now. It has been a feature from its origin. A provocative and notorious theory alleges religion is the central characteristic of civiliza-

tion, suggesting religion is a dominant engine of violence. Religious resurgence and growth of violence and terror, committed in the name of religion, bring into relief the issue of religion’s dynamic relationships. One paradoxical question keeps arising: Why is religion a source of conflict? The answer often given is because religion appears to be absolute, divisive and insufficiently rational. In When Religion Becomes Evil, Charles Kimball defines religion as that which “evokes a wide variety of images, ideas, practices, beliefs and experiences — some positive and some negative.” He espouses the theory that religion is a central feature of human life. We all see many indications of it every day and we all know it when we see it. Kimball concludes

that religious convictions, locked into absolute truths, can easily lead people to see themselves as God’s agent. Its followers are then emboldened and capable of violent and destructive behaviour in the name of religion. However, he does not present convincing arguments which distinguish religious violence from secular violence. Also, his definition of religion does not clearly point out what does and does not qualify as “religion.” He ignores other kinds of nationalism, despite acknowledging that blind religious zealotry is similar to unfettered patriotism. Other scholars claim that religion is prone to conflict because it produces a particular intensity of non-rational passion that is not subject to the firm control of reason. Various words such as “rage,” “passion,” and

“fanaticism” are often used to describe the mental state of religious actors driven to conflict and violence. In recent years, there has been rising interest among scholars to engage in conversation on how religion could be a resource of peace and be used in both conflict resolution and peace building. The question, then, is: How does religion create peace? An analysis of theories of religious violence opens the door for strategies that would help ensure religions can be harnessed for peace making as opposed to the absolute, divisive and irrational markers and influences that have enabled inter-group violence, war and conflict. Several strategies for transformation of religion into a force of peace can be suggested. First, the pursuit of dialogue among religions can be an influence.

The call for dialogue is the need for education within various faith traditions. Second, the strategy of fostering economic development, especially as it benefits the poor and the marginalized in any religious society. Religion is powerfully conditioned by the underlying economic and political environments in which all human life remains deeply rooted. Third, the strengthening of democracy on both national and local levels is necessary. Along with economic development, there is a great need to artfully promote the values of democracy. Religion can be an effective source of conflict and, at the same time, a resource of peace in motivating believers toward tolerance and peaceful acceptance of others. ryanmitra225@ gmail.com

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory of our Beautiful Daughter, Sister, Aunty Devoted with Love, Wife and Mother Hannah Joy (Lorensen) Perris

Mack Bryson

The Ship by Henry Van Dyke

After one helluva ride, Mack Bryson left this life on June 8, 2017. He filled his 84 years with fun, hard work and adventure with friends and strangers alike. He loved and provided service to his home communities and their people: Pavilion-Lillooet, Merritt-Nicola Valley, the Cariboo-Chilcotin, Kamloops and Vancouver. He was always eager to lend a hand, share a story, or offer his opinion on politics - often over a fine malt.

September 10, 1973 – September 11, 2016

Mack leaves his beloved wife of almost 57 years Elizabeth (Stevenson) of Vancouver, adored children Lisa, Jack (Carla), and Doug (Marcia) as well as grandchildren Malcolm, Mackie, Duncan, Aza, Ingrid, Paul and Andrea (Luke) who all cherish his memory. He also leaves his beloved sister Donna Gillis of Cardston, along with her children, grand and great-grandchildren and much-loved sister-in-law Karyn Bryson of Ashcroft with her children and grandchildren. As well, Mack leaves a legion of family and friends who admired his warmth, joie de vivre and ready smile.

One year ago today, September 11, 2016 God called you home. The moment you died our hearts were torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you. We often lay awake at night, when the world is fast asleep and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away.

He lived a charmed life and his intrepid nature led him to many unexpected experiences. He attended Britannia High School and later UBC and SFU in Vancouver. Starting life as a rancher and cowboy, Mack later became a teacher, politician (running provincially in Kamloops in 1969 and federally in 1980) coach, board member of Western Canada Theatre, a Citizenship Court Judge, Agriculture Canada manager, pioneer of High School Rodeo in Canada and also the Returning Officer for Elections Canada in Vancouver East for many years. Mack was a great story teller and wrote an autobiography about his early adventures on his family’s cattle ranch, Empire Valley. His book, “A Cowboy’s Life: Memories of a Western Cowboy in an Empire of Grass,” celebrates a way of life that few experience today. Mack and Liz and so many of their friends shared fun and travels together all over the world. He was predeceased by his brother Duncan and parents Eleanore and Clarence.

We hold you tightly within our hearts and there you will remain.

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!”

Q. Do I need an urn? A. The crematorium usually places cremated remains (ashes) into a ‘temporary’ cardboard box, and families often get their loved one back in this cardboard box. I don’t like cardboard boxes, so I give families a nice wooden urn (choose from three styles) at no charge.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Paul’s Foundation - Interstitial Lung Disease. Spfoundation@providencehealth.bc.ca

With Love, Dad and Mom

Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her.

A Memorial to Celebrate Mack’s Life will be held on Sunday, September 17, 2017 downstairs at Hoodoos at Sun Rivers, Kamloops between 2:00 and 4:00 pm.

Until the joyous day arrives, that we are reunited with you and your sister Abra once again.

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!

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!
