NOVEMBER 9, 2017 | Volume 30 No.134 Jennifer Gatey was struck by a vehicle and killed on Nov. 4, 2016, while waiting for a bus on an Aberdeen street.

The driver left the scene.

Jennifer died the day before her 17th birthday. The accused in her death, Jason Gourlay, is scheduled to stand trial in June of next year.

The family of a Kamloops teen killed in a hit-and-run crash marked two sad milestones over the weekend.

Jennifer Gatey died on Nov. 4, 2016, one day before her 17th birthday. She was struck and killed while waiting for a bus on Pacific Way, less than a block from her family’s Aberdeen home.

“I guess at the heart of it, we’re

doing OK, but it was a very tough weekend,” Cameron Gatey told KTW. “I hadn’t realized how much the anniversary would affect me or affect us, but it really did. It’s not just the anniversary, but it would have been her birthday, too. She would have been 18.”

Gatey said the last year has been incredibly trying for him and his family.

“For me, I haven’t got a lot of experience with loss. I lost my mother a few years ago,” he said.

VIOLENCE IS DRUG-FUELLED TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The shooting death earlier this year of the founder of a notoriously violent drug gang outside his Kamloops home has left a vacuum at the top of the local drug trade, according to police — a void that has resulted in a number of recent violent incidents.

But gangs such as the Red Scorpions, Independent Soldiers

and United Nations are not established in the city, said Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller.

He took questions from reporters on Tuesday following what he called “a very busy and unprecedented 10 days.”

Police have dealt with multiple shootings and firearms incidents in the last number of weeks, many of which are connected directly to the drug trade, investigators believe.

“We’re very much aware of the recent increase in the number of gun-related calls in our community and the level of violence directed toward our officers,” Mueller said. “You ask me if I’m concerned? I am concerned. I am always concerned when there’s gunfire . . . But I can assure the people of Kamloops that the Kamloops detachment has a good handle on our city.”

‘The loss of a child is a completely different animal’ From A1

“But I can tell you the loss of a child is a completely different animal,” Gatey said.

“It’s hard to comprehend in one’s mind.

The year that has passed has really been about how to come to grips with it and how to understand it.”

Part of that understanding, Gatey said, has so far meant acknowledging Jennifer is gone.

She was supposed to have been a bridesmaid in her brother’s wedding in June, he said.

“Part of the wedding ceremony was a recognition that someone who was very important was not there,” Gatey said. “It was a lot of fun, don’t get me wrong, but it had this element to it.”

Jennifer is also being remembered in the larger community.

Last Friday, students at South Kamloops secondary, where Jennifer attended, and at Thompson Rivers University wore plaid in her memory.

Jennifer often sported plaid when going to school.

In June, two benches were installed in Aberdeen in Jennifer’s memory — one by a group of Pacific Way elementary students and the other by a woman who launched a GoFundMe campaign after Jennifer’s death.

Gatey also established a bursary in Jennifer’s name for students headed to

Thompson Rivers University from South Kamloops secondary.

The first scholarship was handed out in August.

“It’s a bit of a hollow victory, as they say, but if any good can come of it, it’s something nice,” Gatey said.

“For me, the nice part is that Jennifer’s name will be remembered for a long time as doing good.”

Jason Gourlay is facing charges of failing to remain at the scene of an accident and tampering with evidence in relation to Jennifer’s death.

The 42-year-old is free on bail, living under strict court-ordered conditions in a Kamloops motel.

His Jeep was seized days after the crash and he was arrested four months later, in March of this year.

Gourlay made a brief appearance in court this week to have his trial date pushed back a month — now slated for June 2018 — to allow lawyers more time to argue about what evidence will be admissible.

Gatey said he is letting the court process play out and not giving it too much thought.

“I can tell you that I don’t spend a lot of time — I don’t let the court process revictimize me on a regular basis,” he said.

“I know the judicial process can be a very frustrating one if you let it be a very frustrating one.”

Council nixes $100K parking study ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Deemed too expensive and unnecessary by half of city council, a plan to study parking in the downtown at a cost of up to $100,000 met with defeat Tuesday.

Councillors Donovan Cavers, Arjun Singh, Tina Lange and Denis Walsh all voted against the study. With Coun. Dieter Dudy absent, the 4-4 split was enough to defeat the proposal.

City staff told council the study was meant to answer a council strategic goal of improving parking and transportation in the downtown core.

Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association president Mike O’Reilly spoke during a public comment portion of the meeting.

He said the study would also give the city information to consider charging different rates in different parts of the downtown (such as a lower rate on St. Paul Street than on Victoria Street) and how to get people to stop

using their cars and take transit downtown.

But Cavers and Lange said they felt much had already been achieved on parking through other measures.

Lange said pay stations, which were brought in at the urging of the KCBIA, have helped keep employees from using street parking meant for customers. She also noted off-street parking stalls remain available for rent at Hotel 540.

Cavers pointed to the new parkade at Royal Inland Hospital and creation of parking on the former Kamloops Daily News property as two more sources of new parking areas.

“I don’t see anything with parking getting worse,” he said, suggesting the city spend money improving usability of its on-street parking kiosks if it is looking for places to use parking revenue.

Those who favoured the study, including Mayor Ken Christian, said it would provide data where the city has thus far relied on anecdotes.

“It may well be as Coun. Cavers suggests

COMMUNITY SUPPORTING COMMUNITY Investing in the community to impact change through collaboration and partnerships

www.cooperfamilyfoundation.com

that everything is getting better downtown and we are in fact adequately served. But I don’t know that,” Christian said.

Corporate services and community safety director David Duckworth told KTW earlier this week that the study was intended to look at current parking demand downtown and what is likely needed in 10 and 20 years.

The study was to have been funded by money in the Downtown Parking Infrastructure Reserve Fund, which is itself funded by parking-fee revenue.

Duckworth said the city has never completed a study of the kind proposed.

While the city at one point had a committee studying the issue, the solution its work led to — a controversial $10-million parkade proposed for Lorne Street parking lot of Riverside Park — was shot down by the public in 2011, with more than 6,000 people signing a petition that required the city to either abandon the project or hold a referendum to spend the money.

The city abandoned the parkade idea.

Student school board planned DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops-Thompson school district is doing more than letting a new student city council meet in its buildings — it’s working with the five students to create a shadow school board.

Meghan Wade, chair of the school district’s board of trustees, said the organizing group — students Ken Zuo, Robbie McVittie, Jacob Lawrence and Maggie Gu,

along with former city councillor Marg Spina — asked the trustees for an agreement in principal to use schools for their meetings and to involve students at the secondary level to hold a council election in May. The plan is to have two representatives each from NorKam, Valleyview, Westsyde, South Kamloops and Sa-Hali secondary schools.

The group also suggested that, with representation from rural high schools,

they could work to create the shadow trustee board that Wade called “a good start getting a diversified voice at the board level.”

The students will work with school board administrators to develop terms of reference and a method to involve rural schools.

Wade said there’s been a provincial push to have student voices at the trustee tables, something she said has great potential.

First Nations elder care the focus Interior Health (IH) and the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) have partnered to improve elder care in the First Nations community.

IH will contribute $2 million and FNHA will chip in $1 million on an ongoing annual basis to fund a nursing enhancement to support First Nations elders and those living with chronic conditions.

The program is expected to provide help to about 4,450 elders in the IH

region, including Kamloops.

The program is set to begin in 2019 and will continue for five years.

Sparking the decision was data from another joint project by the two authorities that provided information showing elders are less likely to see a doctor, have a higher rate of many chronic conditions and are more likely to go hospital emergency departments for care.

“There continues to be barriers that

challenge the delivery of health-care services to First Nations,” said Brad Anderson, IH corporate director for Aboriginal health.

“This partnership ensures care is being provided in the community — collaboratively and in a culturally safe way, where First Nations Elders live — so they can be partners in their own care along with their family and an interdisciplinary care team.”

Manager hired to help fire victims The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) has brought back a retired senior planner to help cabin owners who lost buildings in this summer’s wildfires and are facing onerous legal requirements to rebuild.

Bob Finley retired from the regional district several years ago. He will be brought back as the recovery manager to assist property owners — many of whom face huge rebuilding costs and, in some cases, uncertainty whether they can ever rebuild due to provincial regulations.

A recent committee report from the

TNRD outlined challenges, particularly by waterfront cabin owners. Those include building code requirements for efficiency of heating and insulation and sewer treatment. In some cases, provincial rules will not allow rebuilding on old foundations that are too close to the waterfront.

The regional district estimates more than 210 buildings, ranging from homes to cabins and outbuildings, were lost to this summer’s fires. The greatest challenge is faced by cabin owners who must contend with regulations that didn’t exist decades ago or were not enforced.

“Considerations that have been discussed by the board include the possible reduction of, or sourcing alternative sources for, permit fees; the acceleration of application processing; potential new zoning for dry cabins; and lobbying the provincial government for relief and building code changes,” the TNRD said in a statement.

A dry cabin is a structure without plumbing, a bathroom or a kitchen.

The concern is, however, that dry cabins can become makeshift real cabins once inspectors have moved on.

City’s nuisance bylaw should be in effect by next month ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A City of Kamloops bylaw designed to fine landlords of nuisance properties that are the subject of repeated police, ambulance and firefighter calls should be in effect by Nov. 21.

City council passed the socalled “good neighbour bylaw” unanimously at its Tuesday meeting.

Community safety manager John Ramsay said the bylaw will consolidate previous laws around noise and unsightly properties and allow regulation of “nuisance behaviour.”

A property can be deemed a nuisance if RCMP or other emergency services are called to it more than twice in 24 hours or three times in a year, with the goal of tackling rental properties causing repeated disturbances and making

neighbours feel unsafe.

Once that threshold is passed, the city will have the power to charge the property owner for officers, vehicles and other personnel dispatched to the scene.

But Ramsay said the city won’t be fining property owners who work with the municipality to try to resolve issues, as Coun.

Denis Walsh raised concerns the bylaw could be too harsh, due to the difficulty of evicting problem tenants who still pay rent.

“It’s not easy to evict somebody, especially if they know how to play the game,” Walsh said.

Ramsay said if a property owner is fined, they also have the option to appeal the decision to city council.

Such a bylaw became a topic of discussion this week following repeated RCMP visits to a

Mounties told KTW the house is considered a problem residence.

The property is owned by Brandan Shankar of Chilliwack.

Last week, Shankar spoke to KTW from Fiji, where he is living temporarily, and claimed he has complied with everything asked of him by police and city staff.

During a press conference on Tuesday to address the spate of recent gunplay in the city, Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller referenced the property at 217 Nelson Ave., noting recent activity there would seem to contrast what Shankar told KTW.

Kamloops Mounties involved in the Oct. 27 standoff at the G&M Trailer Park — an incident that included shots being fired at police — are temporarily off work.

Officers on recovery time TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The entire shift of Kamloops Mounties involved in the violent incident last month in which a man is alleged to have repeatedly opened fire on police before holing up in his parents’ home is off work on “recovery time,” according to the city’s top cop.

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said every officer on the watch involved in the Oct. 27 incident is temporarily off work.

“There was a number of members involved in that,” Mueller said, refusing to say how many officers are off work. “I can tell you that we were very fortunate to give an

entire watch that recovery time.”

Shane William Caron is facing a dozen charges — including four counts of attempted murder — stemming from the incident, which is alleged to have began with an early morning domestic assault at a North Shore home.

Investigators said they then tracked Caron to a house on Nanaimo Street, from which he is alleged to have emerged armed with a rifle, threatening to shoot at police.

Mueller said police were shot at on four separate occasions while Caron drove from Nanaimo Street to his parents’ home in the G&M Trailer Park.

Despite the officers being on leave, Mueller

LOCAL NEWS The public “should not panic.

They should definitely be aware and there should be increased vigilance.

At this point, there’s no indication there’s going to be enhanced levels of violence.

”

— Kamloops RCMP Supt. BRAD MUELLER DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Police say no established gangs in city From A1

Konaam Shirzad, one of the founders of the Red Scorpions, the B.C.-based gang behind the Surrey Six slayings in 2007, was shot to death outside his Guerin Creek home on Sept. 21. Mueller said that slaying has resulted in criminals trying to “fill the void” at the top of Kamloops’ drug trade.

“It has let to some uncertainty and instability in the drug subculture in Kamloops,” he said. “Unfortunately, this has led to an uptick in violence. Ultimately, it has led to these conflicts.”

Mueller said while there are associates of gangs such as Redd Alert, Red Scorpions and Independent Soldiers in Kamloops, those gangs are not established in the city as they are in Lower Mainland communities.

He said nobody involved in the recent spate of violence in the city has connections to gangs.

Mueller said Shirzad — who told KTW in a January interview he had left the gang life — had a number of people working for him in Kamloops, none of whom were linked to organized crime.

According to RCMP statistics, 2017 has been an unusually violent year when it comes to firearms in Kamloops.

So far, police have tallied 10 shooting incidents this year in the Tournament Capital, up from six in 2016, two in 2015, five in 2014 and three in 2013.

“Certainly we’ve seen an increase,” Mueller said.

“But that’s certainly consistent with what we’ve been seeing in other communities and across the province . . . These numbers are concerning, but they aren’t what I’d call alarming.

On Monday, police arrested Michael Boyer outside a Fortune Drive home.

The 41-year-old is facing four charges in relation to an incident outside a Valleyview motel on Saturday in which he is alleged to have pulled a handgun on a police officer attempting to arrest him. The police officer opened fire on Boyer, police have said, but he escaped.

Earlier in the day on Monday, police searched a Nelson Avenue home looking for Boyer. The search turned up four firearms, but Boyer was not found. The home, 217 Nelson Ave., was the scene of a shoot-

ing that injured two people on Oct. 23.

No arrests have been made in connection with the Nelson Avenue shooting, but a related search warrant at a home on nearby Holly Avenue turned up one handgun, one rifle and two shotguns.

A 28-year-old man is in custody facing possible charges following a separate shooting on Saturday in an apartment on Holt Street.

In that instance, a 24-year-old man suffered minor injuries after being struck by a bullet fired during an alleged robbery in a neighbouring suite.

Despite an apparent violent turf war being waged among local drug dealers, Mueller advised Kamloops residents to remain calm.

“The public should not panic. They should definitely be aware and there should be increased vigilance,” he said, noting investigators have nothing to lead them to believe more violence is imminent, but pointing out the “uncertainty” in the drug trade.

“At this point, there’s no indication there’s going to be enhanced levels of violence.”

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

THANK A POLICE OFFICER TODAY

R

ecent events have served to remind us all of the dangerous job police officers perform every day in their duty to protect.

Monday’s senseless killing in Abbotsford of Const. John Davidson has rocked the province and country and comes on the heels of a series of disturbing incidents in Kamloops that have left police and the public on edge.

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller spoke this week about the death of Davidson, offering condolences and thoughts for the fallen officer’s friends and family. The Kamloops detachment is, sadly, all too familiar with the dangers inherent in putting on the uniform.

It was three years ago this Dec. 3 that Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud nearly died after being shot while conducting a traffic stop in Batchelor Heights. His road to recovery was long and Michaud only returned to work 18 months after the horrific crime.

Of course, Kamloops knows too well the grief that permeates a community when those who put their lives on the line lose those lives. On June 18, 1962, RCMP constables Elwood Keck, Gordon Pedersen and Donald Weisgerber were shot and killed in Peterson Creek Park as they pursued a man.

Such tragedies are never forgotten and each time a man or woman in uniform is wounded or killed, the community loses that much more of its sense of security.

The work done by local Mounties last month as they were fired upon repeatedly while trying to arrest a suspect in a domestic dispute speaks to their bravery.

But the gravity of what they endured is evident in the revelation this week that the entire staffing of that day’s watch remains on leave, on recovery time.

The next time you pass a cop, serve a smile, shake a hand or give a nod of gratitude.

They are truly the fine line that separates order from anarchy.

Teach our children well

Y

ears ago, a teacher told me I was wrong to believe my specialneeds son would graduate from high

school.

It was a stunning moment, not so much because my husband and I had never said he would graduate with a Dogwood certificate, but because this teacher had not heard us when we said we just wanted him to have the chance to accomplish such a feat.

If he did, great. If he didn’t, but he had worked hard, great.

Just don’t say he will never do it because, then, you aren’t going to work with us to see if he can.

I thought about that moment while watching a video sent to me by a friend who also has a child with special needs, one who went through the school system at the same time as my son.

The video is called I Just Sued the School System and it talks about how the education system doesn’t really work with each student to help them find their reason to learn — that indescribable inside them that, when a teacher finds it and works with it, can be magical.

It may not mean a Dogwood; however, if it means the student is not being taught to, but being taught alongside, if there is a connection and if both are working to find that reason for being rather than doing, it’s special.

While the rapper/artist/filmmaker/anthropologist/all-roundcreative-guy Richard Williams — known professionally as Prince EA — doesn’t speak directly about special-needs students, any parent of one of our children with those challenges will feel their

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL heart break a bit when they watch the video.

They know how the standardization of the education system means our children can be forgotten. The core curriculum’s current emphasis on learning so students will get a job — preferably in trades because we have a shortage, as politicians have been saying for years — is not good for special-needs kids.

They can end up lumped together and shunted off to regurgitate what they are told they need to know. It may take them longer to finish school. They may complete the standardized benchmarks and they may graduate, but without having learned what really gives their being some meaning.

The teacher referenced at the beginning of this column had studied autism, so they believed they knew it. You don’t know a disability until you live with it 24/7.

Teachers need more training to work with special-needs students and they don’t get it.

In my time with this school district, we have seen student

support worker become school support worker become certified education assistant. With each title change, the involvement was supposed to be more remote.

It was the dedication of those working with our boy who saw that spark hidden inside and gently nudged it out so he could discover what would fuel his need to learn.

Williams gets it. He talks about how a classroom of 20 students means 20 different strengths and dreams, yet they are all taught the same.

Teachers are underpaid even though, as he puts it, they have the most important job on the planet because they are helping grow our future.

And he really scored with me when he mentioned how learning math is important, but so is art and dance. I remember when those were part of the curriculum.

Today, they are too often options or cost more or just aren’t offered.

Education has come a long way since I entered my first classroom back in 1960. I’m not sure it’s gone far enough, though, particularly for those who aren’t straight-A students.

It’s a short video, but if you care about education and our future generation, take the time to watch it. You can find it online at youtube.com by searching I Just Sued the School System.

You won’t agree with all of it, but I bet much of it will make you think. And some of it might even bring a tear to your eye because it’s just so true. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

WE DO NOT LEAVE OUR DOWNTRODDEN TO SUFFER Editor: Re: Kurt Manning’s letter of Oct. 17 (‘Harm reduction: a fairy tale’): At first, I was confused what the letter was about. Then I reached the passage that alluded to ASK Wellness compassion for “rats.”

ASK Wellness does a lot of good for the homeless through the community and churches.

A fair amount of the money it uses is from special events run to raise funds, which go to various people in need: battered women, disabled youth and people with mental-health issues and kids who have run away from home because they are beaten, raped or mentally abused by family members.

Most of the money raised does not go to people who use drugs.

Theses people are not “rats.”

They are bothers, sisters, mothers and fathers to someone.

To paint them as “rats” is reprehensible.

This tactic was used long ago on a population of people in a country across the ocean because of who they were — and we know how that turned out.

One-and-a-half million Christian Armenians were wiped out or expelled in the early 1900s and the same occurred in Europe beginning in 1939 and in North America in the 1800s.

In all three cases, the victims

were alluded to as vermin.

I do not understand the point of Manning’s letter and what he is trying to put out there.

Writing about harm reduction as a fairytale only clouds the issue to the point of making its meaning confusing to me.

We are a country with a big heart and we do not leave our downtrodden at the wayside of life. And we do not call them “rats.”

I hope Manning does not believe this in his heart and is simply venting his frustration by using words.

Kidnapping charge laid in truck hijacking behind the wheel of a running minivan at the Wire Cache rest area.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A 33-year-old man is facing charges following an incident on Monday night in which a truck driver was held at gunpoint for four hours as he drove from Avola to Kamloops.

RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk say the incident began at about 4 p.m. south of Avola when an officer came across a driver slumped

Moskaluk said the driver forced a pickup truck to stop on the highway about three kilometres south of Avola.

“The officer pulled up to observe that the suspect was armed with what appeared to be a handgun as the suspect approached the pickup truck,” Moskaluk said.

“Upon the officer’s arrival, the suspect

abandoned his attempts which permitted the unharmed driver of the truck to flee. Once again, the suspect fled northbound.”

The suspect then smashed the window of a semi-truck in an unsuccessful attempt to have the driver help him escape, police said.

The man then jumped into a second semi-truck parked nearby, threatened the driver and brandished a gun. The trucker drove southbound, with

Highway, just south of the Copperhead Road exit in Kamloops.

The truck driver, 43-year-old Robert Price, told Global News the man who commandeered his vehicle nodded off periodically during the drive to Kamloops.

Price said the man was asleep when he pulled into the weigh scales and escaped the truck.

Moskaluk said the gas canisters were used in an unsuccessful bid

to get the suspect out of the truck. Instead, he tried to drive the rig, only to crash and overturn its load of lumber in a few hundred metres away.

Moskaluk said the suspect received a minor dog bite while being arrested, noting a handgun was found in the cab of the truck.

Charged with kidnapping, use of a firearm in the commission of an offence and other counts is David Lee Chappell.

A defence lawyer representing a 40-year-old charged with attempted murder in connection to an assault of a teen who was beaten into a coma will apply to move the trial to Kelowna.

Lawyers spoke briefly Monday in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops to set trial dates for Kristopher Teichrieb.

He is facing charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault

in connection to the June 19, 2016, beating of Jessie Simpson.

The then-18-year-old Simpson — who is now 20 — was assaulted in the early-morning hours of June 19, 2016, in the vicinity of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue in Brocklehurst.

Simpson’s friends and family have said the Savona teen and South Kamloops secondary student was celebrating high school graduation the night before the attack and may have been searching for a group of friends when

he was assaulted.

Teichrieb’s lawyer, Jordan Watt, has filed an application to move the trial from Kamloops due to the notoriety of the incident, in order to give his client a fair trial.

A date will be set next month to hear the application.

Teichrieb was arrested within minutes of the June 2016 incident and has been in custody since. A trial date had been set for Jan. 8 in Kamloops.

After spending months in a coma, Simpson began to wake

up following a brain surgery in January.

Since then, Simpson’s condition has fluctuated and he has been sent to Royal Inland Hospital’s intensive-care unit multiple times.

Simpson’s mother, Susanna Simpson, told KTW last month his condition had improved a bit, though he remains in hospital.

In June, a B.C. Supreme Court judge declared Simpson legally infirm, appointing his mother to act on his behalf.

Holt Street shooting

Charges have been laid against a Kamloops man accused of firing a gun during a robbery in a Brocklehurst apartment building on Saturday, inadvertently striking a man in a neighbouring unit.

Bradley John Hartling is facing seven charges, including one count of robbery with a firearm, stemming from the incident.

The 28-year-old is alleged to have entered a suite in an apartment building at 805 Holt St. on Saturday morning armed with a gun.

Police said a bullet went through a wall and struck a 24-year-old man BRADLEY HARTLING in a neighbouring apartment. He was treated for minor injuries to his leg and released from hospital.

RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said investigators traced Hartling to a home in Paul Lake, where he was arrested without incident. She said he was previously known to police.

Other charges Hartling is facing include assault with a weapon, unlawfully discharging a firearm and possession of a firearm contrary to a court order.

He is slated to appear in Kamloops provincial court for a bail hearing on Nov. 20.

Gratefully accepting donations of ABBOTSFORD POLICE PHOTO

Abbotsford Police Department Const. John Davidson was shot and killed on Monday while responding to a report of a stolen vehicle in the Fraser Valley city.

An Alberta man in his 60s is in custody.

Fallen officer lauded for dedication to city GEORDON OMAND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

ABBOTSFORD — A police officer who died in the line of duty has been identified as a constable with 24 years of experience who was also active in his community.

Const. John Davidson died after responding to a report of a possible stolen vehicle Monday in Abbotsford.

The Abbotsford Police Department said Davidson, 53, began his career as a police officer in the United Kingdom in 1993 before moving to British Columbia in 2006.

He is survived by his wife and three adult children.

In a statement on Tuesday, Abbotsford police said Davidson worked for Northumbria police until 2005. With the Abbotsford force he worked in the patrol, youth squad and traffic sections.

“Our community lost a hero,’’ the statement said. “John was a dedicated police officer who devoted so much of his time to connecting with the community and helping kids.’’

Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun said the community is in disbelief and people have lots of questions, but noted the first priority is to support the fallen officer’s family.

“We just want to express our heartfelt sorrow to the family. We all have heavy hearts but they are carrying a much bigger burden than we are,’’ he said.

“All we can do as a community is surround them and just let them know they are loved and that we empathize with them and that they will be in our thoughts and our prayers.’’

Davidson had an impact on students in the community, thanks to his work as a school liaison officer, Braun added.

“There’s going to be some schools, some kids, when they find out who this is, who are going to be grieving as well,” he said.

“So we need to surround our kids as well because they’ll have a tough time grappling with this because he was greatly, greatly loved in our schools.’’

Abbotsford Police have said a man in his 60s from Alberta was taken into custody Monday after exchanging gunfire with officers.

Chief Bob Rich said officers were called about a possible stolen vehicle in the parking lot of a shopping complex in the west end of the city at about 11:30 a.m.

The caller hemmed in the suspect’s vehicle while waiting for police to arrive, Rich said. The suspect emerged from the vehicle and began shooting at the caller and others, he said.

When police officers arrived, they attempted to arrest the suspect, who fled in the vehicle.

Police officers pursued him to the intersection of Mount Lehman Road and Fraser Highway, where he was apprehended and taken to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. The civilian agency that investigates police actions resulting in serious harm or death said it is believed the suspect was shot.

Rich paid tribute to Davidson and his other officers for their response.

“There were officers heroically trying to save the life of our member.

There were officers immediately taking control of the scene,’’ he said. “When they responded to this, they responded in a way that was designed to protect the public. This person was trying to kill people, members of the public, and our officers responded.

“The officer who gave his life today is a hero. He was protecting this community. He will always be my hero.’’

The B.C. Law Enforcement Memorial lists only one other Abbotsford member in its online registry of officers who died in the line of duty. Const. John Goyer died in 2006 from complications sustained while responding to a call involving a domestic dispute five years earlier.

Trudeau pushing trade in Asia-Pacific region ANDY BLATCHFORD

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s trip to strengthen ties in the Asia-Pacific region began Wednesday in Vietnam, a fast-growing country with a deep cultural connection for many Canadians.

Trudeau landed in the busy capital of Hanoi for an official visit to a country that offers significant business opportunities.

However, the pursuit of a more-open trading relationship with Vietnam comes with pressure to have frank discussions about the concerns over the communist government’s human-rights record.

Trudeau will hold meetings Wednesday with civil society leaders, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and Communist Party secretary general Nguyen Phu Trong, before joining President Tran Dai Quang in the evening for a state banquet.

On Thursday, he will travel to Ho Chi Minh City to visit the stock exchange, hold a roundtable with business leaders and appear at a university event.

He will head to Danang on Saturday for the two-day leaders’ summit for the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation bloc, which includes the United States, China and Russia, before moving on to the

Philippines to attend the annual meetings of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

At both events, Canada is expected to push its trade agenda forward. It’s already engaged in exploratory trade talks with the ASEAN countries as well as negotiations to salvage the TransPacific Partnership accord, which many believed would fall apart following the U.S. withdrawal earlier this year. When it comes to the members of the 11-country TPP, much of the focus remains on Japan, the world’s thirdlargest economy.

But Vietnam is also at the TPP table and it’s an ASEAN member.

This means it could become a key partner for Canada, which is trying to increase its presence in the region.

Vietnam, projected to see economic growth this year of 6.3 per cent, features a sturdy consumer base, an emerging business class and an expanding footprint in supply chains.

Dominic Barton, the global managing partner of consulting giant McKinsey & Co., said the rapid changes in Vietnam’s key cities remind him, in some respects, of what Shanghai went through less than two decades ago.

Barton, who also chairs the Trudeau government’s economic growth council, said

Vietnam is an example of why Canada must be “motoring ahead” into Asia, particularly with so much uncertainty around the renegotiation of the North American Trade Agreement.

“We’ve got to go hard on those Asian relationships,’’ said Barton, who headed McKinsey operations in Asia and South Korea for nearly a decade.

“I think we just have to have irons in many fires.’’

Dan Ciuriak, a former deputy chief economist for what is now known as Global Affairs Canada, believes an updated TPP pact is closer to fruition than Canada’s potential deals with ASEAN or China.

“Vietnam and Japan would be the two biggies for Canada in terms of diversifying trade,” said Ciuriak, who is now the director of Ciuriak Consulting Inc. “So, that’s probably the No. 1 priority for Canada and that’s where I think you’ll see the effort being put in.’’

Former Quebec premier Jean Charest, who is honorary chair of the ASEAN-Canada Business Council, said Vietnam not only shows real economic potential, it also has strong people-to-people links to Canada.

Both countries have French heritages and both are members of La Francophonie, he said in an interview.

But Charest said it’s the story of the Vietnamese refugees, or boat people, who came to Canada in the late 1970s that really forged the bond.

By 1980, about 60,000 people from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos arrived in Canada after fleeing violence in their homelands. Today, about 240,000 people in Canada have Vietnamese roots.

“Certainly, the story of the boat people in Quebec, I can tell you without hesitation that it resonates positively in the minds of Quebecers as being a good example of integration into the broader Quebec society,’’ said Charest, who added the community is thriving in Quebec.

However, when looking at today’s Vietnam, Charest said the promising economy is accompanied by negatives, such as the fact “it is a communist regime and everything that comes with it.’’

Human Rights Watch calls the Vietnam’s record “dire in all areas’’ because of the Communist Party’s firm grip on political power.

The Prime Minister’s Office said Canada and Vietnam have a “constructive dialogue’’ on human rights. Canada has also advocated for the rights of women, freedom of expression, association and religion in Vietnam, it said.

Loblaw to merge Shoppers Optimum, PC Plus loyalty programs in February THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Loblaw Companies Ltd. will merge Shoppers Optimum points and PC Plus points under the name PC Optimum starting in February.

The food and pharmacy giant says consumers can collect points as usual until Feb. 1, 2018 when

Optimum and PC Plus points will be moved to the new program at equal value.

If a collector has $100 worth of Optimum points, they will receive $100 worth of PC Optimum points, for example.

Loblaw says the new program will have an easy to remember redemption system _ with 10,000 points

valued at $10, 20,000 points at $20 and so on to a maximum single transaction redemption of $500.

Consumers will earn 50 per cent more points for almost every dollar spent at Shoppers Drug Mart locations under the new loyalty program to help account for the higher number of points needed for each

redemption level.

Some analysts have anticipated the move since Loblaw acquired Shoppers Drug Mart, along with its in-house Shopper Optimum loyalty program, in 2014, and increasingly so since August when CIBC and Loblaw’s PC Financial announced they would end their nearly 20-year relationship.

Court upholds conviction stemming from online forum COLIN PERKEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A man who set up a private online forum devoted to trashing and sexually degrading a former friend had his criminal harassment conviction upheld Wednesday.

In its ruling, Ontario’s top court rejected an attempt by Darrin Sim to have the conviction quashed, saying the trial judge made no mistakes in finding him guilty.

“By any standard, Sim’s conduct was morally reprehensible,’’ the Appeal Court said.

Court records show Sim and the woman, who cannot be identified, were friends for several years starting in 2001, when he was 29 years old. He developed unrequited romantic feelings toward her and both eventually married other people and started families, the records show.

They later began emailing updates on their lives and, in 2009, he asked her for photographs of herself, which she sent. In November 2010, court heard, Sim set up a Yahoo group forum and recruited about 150 members. The topic of the online group focused on the “degradation’’ of the woman, court documents show.

She knew nothing about it.

Evidence was that Sim posted extensive biographical details and photos of the woman. He also wrote “false, degrading, vile, and grotesque sexualized commentary’’ about her, according to the court. He urged group members to post their own ugly comments, to share crude sexual fantasies involving her and to upload altered photographs of her in a sexually degrading way.

The aim, he posted on the forum, was to make the woman look like the “little slut she is.’’

Someone alerted her in April 2013 to the group, which by that time had more than 1,500 members, court records indicate.

Through a co-worker, she was able to gain full access to the site and gather screenshots that included multiple perverted and sexual mes-

alongside a sexually lewd caption.

Posted details included her name, age,

sage strings about her.

Among photographs on the website was one from her wedding

weight, height, bra size, underwear size, hobbies, education, occupation, and the number of chil-

dren she had.

The woman was “shocked and frightened by what she saw,’’ the

Appeal Court said.

In October last year, Ontario court Judge Mitch Hoffman con-

Searing testimony Here’s why China will not at MMIW inquiry budge on North Korea in Edmonton BOB WEBER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — As disturbing stories emerge at the national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women, it’s Melodie Casella’s job to ensure that testifying about trauma doesn’t simply create more.

“Our mandate is a no-harm approach,’’ Casella, health manager for the inquiry, said Wednesday on the second day of hearings in Edmonton. “It’s families first.’’

Casella runs an extensive mentalhealth network for the inquiry’s western swing. That network embraces witnesses long before they tell their stories to the inquiry’s commissioners.

She said it is delicate work. Just because some members of a victimized family have chosen to speak, that doesn’t mean all relatives want to.

“We don’t make direct contact with families. If we were to make those direct calls, it could cause trauma on a family member,’’ she said.

“We don’t want to make any families feel pressured to come here when some family members would state, ‘I don’t want to go down that road.’’’

Casella speaks from experience.

A member of her own family was murdered.

“There are family members in my own family who don’t want to go and share their truth,” she said. “They say, ‘It’s been a long time and I just want to move forward in my life.’’’

For those who do choose to speak and ask for help getting through the experience, Casella makes sure they have support from local Indigenous groups and looks after them when they get to the inquiry.

Nobody is left alone. Casella said workers help witnesses try to build on the strength that got them this far.

Inquiry hearings are emotionally gruelling. Tears and anger are frequent.

To deal with the emotions, a team

of six elders stand by. Mental-health workers, identified by purple shirts, sit in the audience to offer support to anyone needing it.

Witnesses are given a small bundle of tobacco at the end of their testimony. Many choose to take it to a sacred fired tended by an elder and burn it while offering prayers, Casella said.

Sometimes, she said, she does that herself. Inquiry staff live with story after story, day after day, and they have to look after themselves, too.

“The commission staff we have here, it’s like a family. We build each other up.’’

Witnesses are also cared for after they testify. Casella tries to ensure they have support when they get back home, even in remote or rural locations.

“We have to ask and make sure they have somebody they can talk to.’’

The inquiry maintains a toll-free, 24-hour support line.

“If they wake up in the middle of the night, that is available to them to call when they leave here.’’

The inquiry’s interim report has concluded that enough stories about indifferent or sloppy investigations have emerged that some cases should be reopened. Whatever the legal consequences of the inquiry’s work, Casella said it’s having a profound effect on witnesses.

“Some of them had approached me after, saying this is the beginning of my healing. For some of them, it was over 30 years they had never talked about it.’’

On Monday, one of the witnesses she coached through his testimony approached her afterward. “[He said] I want to thank you for not giving up on me, for getting me through this. He was so happy and grateful,” Casella said.

“When we express and open up to talk about the issues that we harbour deep inside, it doesn’t belong to us any more.

“The Creator’s going to take care of that.’’

T

his week, U.S. President Donald Trump will be visiting the leaders of Japan, South Korea and China and the same topic will dominate all three conversations: North Korea.

Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in will be looking for reassurance that the United States will protect them from North Korea’s nuclear weapons, but in Beijing, Trump will be the supplicant.

The American president will be asking President Xi Jinping to do something, anything, to make North Korea to stop testing nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles Trump has painted himself into a corner with his tongue, but even he knows (or at least has been told many times by his military advisers) that there is no military solution to this problem that does not involve a major war, and probably a local nuclear war.

Trump promised North Korea would never be able to strike the United States with nuclear weapons and the reality is that it will get there quite soon (if it is not already there). The U.S. has no leverage over North Korea except the threat of war, so he needs China to get him off the hook.

China has lots of leverage: 90 per cent of North Korea’s imports come in through China and most of its foreign exchange comes from selling things to China.

Beijing could leave the North Korean population freezing and starving in the dark if it chose, but it won’t do that.

Xi Jinping may throw Trump a couple of smallish fish — a ban on the sale of blow dryers and chainsaws to North Korea, perhaps — but he won’t do anything that actually threatens the survival of the North Korean regime.

Yet he knows that nothing less will sway Kim Jong-un because the North Korean leader sees his nukes and ICBMs as essential to the survival of the regime.

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH Xi Jinping does not love Kim and he definitely doesn’t like what he has been doing with the nuclear and missile tests. Kim has even purged the senior people in the North Korean hierarchy who were closest to China, and Beijing still puts up with his behaviour. Why? Because the survival of Communist rule in North Korea is seen in Beijing as vital — not vital to China as a whole, but to the continuation of Communist rule in China. That may sound weird, but look at it from the point of view of China’s current rulers.

Almost all the world’s ruling communist parties have been overthrown in the past quartercentury.

What’s left, apart from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is just a few odds and ends: North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and Laos.

And the CCP’s highest priority is not “making China great again” or building a blue-water navy or whatever; it is protecting the power of the party.

The Chinese leadership cares about those things, too, but everything is always seen through the prism of “Will it strengthen the Party’s rule?”

Seen through that prism, the collapse of the North Korean Communist regime is a potentially mortal threat to the CCP as well.

The reasons that are usually give for Beijing’s determination to keep the North Korean regime afloat just don’t make sense.

The Chinese communists don’t really worry about a flood of North

Korean refugees across the border into Manchuria if the North Korean regime falls.

They’d mostly go home again after things settled down and become happy citizens of a reunited Korea.

Beijing doesn’t stay awake at night worrying that a reunited Korea would bring American troops right up to the Chinese border either.

It’s actually more likely that U.S. troops would eventually leave a reunified Korea. After all, nobody in Korea worries about a Chinese attack, so why would American troops stay?

What truly frightens the men in charge in China is seeing another communist regime go down. They were terrified by the collapse of the Soviet regime from 1989 to 1991 and they blame it on the weakness and willingness to compromise of the Soviet Communist Party.

For all their power and all their achievements, they see themselves as standing with their backs to a cliff. One step backward, one show of weakness and they could be over the edge and in free fall.

Letting Kim fall, however much they dislike him, might unleash the whirlwind at home.

That is probably not true, but it has been the view of the dominant group in the Chinese Communist Party ever since the Soviet Union fell.

They will not push Kim too hard no matter what the cost.

And the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff have just told Congress that there is no way the U.S. can eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons without a full-scale land invasion.

Conclusion? No matter what the various players say now, in the end North Korea will get to keep a modest nuclear deterrent force, but it will have to agree to keep it small enough that it could not possibly launch a successful first strike. Not that it could even remotely afford to build a force big enough to do that anyway. gwynnedyer.com

DRAFT DAY

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HEAT IS LEAKING FROM YOUR HOME? CITY OF KAMLOOPS EMPLOYEE GLEN CHEETHAM TOOK THE TEST

T

he arrival last Thursday of Old Man Winter in the form of snow and cold temperatures provided ideal conditions for Glen Cheetham, sustainability services supervisor for the City of Kamloops, to put his house to the test to see how much heat loss he is experiencing.

Representatives from FortisBC and Natural Resources Canada were at Cheetham’s house to perform the tests as a reminder to the public to try to make their homes more energy-efficient.

Cheetham’s 1981 home in Juniper Ridge is well maintained and he has taken steps to replace windows, add draft proofing and increase his attic insulation.

Cameron Drysdale, an energy advisor certified

by Natural Resources Canada, depressurized the home to measure how much air loss the structure experienced.

Given that it was a cooler day, it was also easy to feel the drafts coming through the doorways. A thermal-imaging camera also made visible trouble spots.

Cheetham was surprised to learn his home was leaking the equivalent of a half-metre square hole — or about the size of a bedroom window. And, at five air turns per hour (a measure of how many times the air within a defined space is replaced), his house is better than average for its age, making it less drafty than a typical Kamloops home.

Key areas of concern were his fireplace, patio door, attic hatch and walls.

In some cases, more heat was escaping from his walls than from his upgraded windows.

Carol Suhan, manager of conservation and energy management with FortisBC, was also surprised by the extent of the air leakage, given the house is well-maintained and finished.

In many homes, areas of concern are more obvious, for example, areas needing insulation. In Cheetham’s house, that work had been done.

According to the province’s community energy and emissions inventory, nearly 30 per cent of the greenhouse gas produced in Kamloops is from buildings, which is why Cheetham wanted to learn more about his own home and bring broader attention to the issue.

He also wanted his home to be more comfortable.

In B.C., more than 50 per cent of energy used in homes is for heating and it’s common to see higher natural-gas bills during the winter months.

Now is the ideal time to check for drafts and install gasket material, door sweeps and extra insulation, available in hardware stores. Incomequalified customers can order a kit with those items for free from FortisBC or book a free evaluation to have the items installed.

Customers who are interested in making energy efficient upgrades are encouraged to first have their home assessed by a certified energy advisor listed online at homeperformance.ca.

To find out more about financial help from FortisBC, go online to fortisbc.com/rebates.

Glen Cheetham, sustainability services supervisor, City of Kamloops, looks on as his home gets a blower door test to determine air leakage.

The thermal image shows significant heat loss at the fireplace trim.

Seal it up!

Sealing gaps and cracks with caulking and weather stripping is one of the most cost-effective steps you can take to keep the heat inside your home, reducing heat loss by between five and 10 per cent.

In many homes, 20 per cent of all heat loss is through leaks and poor ventilation. If 10,000 B.C. households with gas heating were draft proofed to cut gas consumption an average of 5% , it could save 1,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.

It’s not too early to start thinking about Christmas.

That’s the message from Operation Red Nose, which is seeking volunteers for the holiday season.

Now in its 21st year, the annual safe driver program will run between 8 p.m. and 3 a.m. on Nov. 24 and 25 and Dec 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 26, 28, 29, 30 and 31.

After piloting Thursday service last year, the program will once again offer the additional day for the last three weeks of December.

Operation Red Nose offers a drive home to motorists who don’t wish to be behind the wheel of their vehicle for any reason.

The service is run by donation, with funds raised going to PacificSport.

Last year, Kamloops’ Operation Red Nose program gave more rides than any other in the province and raised more than $30,000 for local amateur athletes.

This year, organizers are hoping to recruit 250 volunteers to serve as drivers, navigators, phone operators, dispatchers and escort drivers.

Volunteers can commit to one shift or as many as 18 and are encouraged to team up with friends, family or co-workers. All shifts are about six hours long.

To sign up, pick up a volunteer application form from the

Girl tells court about many violent assaults TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A young Kamloops woman described in brutal detail Wednesday dozens of violent attacks — including biting, punching and throwing — alleged to have been levelled against her by her former boyfriend.

Neither the young woman nor her alleged attacker can be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The accused, an 18-year-old man, was a youth at the time of the alleged offences.

He is in custody and watched the girl’s testimony from the prisoner’s box in a Kamloops courtroom.

Court heard the two began dating in 2015 and were together, off and on, until recently.

The young woman, now 18, said abuse was a daily occurrence.

“I basically always had bruises from when he would hit me the whole time we were dating,” she testified.

“When he would bite me, I would have bite marks all the way down my arms and sometimes on my legs.”

Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan asked the girl about what would precipitate the attacks.

“It depends on what he was mad at me for,” she said.

“He would usually tell me why I was getting hit. . . . He would say,

‘If you didn’t do that, we wouldn’t be here.’ He would call me a whore, say I’m stupid, retarded. I got called names probably every day.”

At one point, the young woman said, her boyfriend stripped her naked and made her leave his grandmother’s house after seeing text messages on her phone between her and another young man.

“I was sitting on the stairs and he pulled my pants off and threw them down the stairs,” she said.

“He took my top off, the rest of my clothes and he made me go outside. He told me that if I wanted to be a whore, then everybody should see my body.”

On another instance, the girl said, her boyfriend became violent with her while attempting to teach her how to drive his vehicle, which had a manual transmission.

“He told me that for every time I stalled it, he’d hit me,” she said.

“He’d reach over and hit me kind of across the face or sometimes on my arms.”

The young girl began crying on the witness stand while describing the incidents.

“In your own mind, why did

you think this was happening, the punching, the hitting, the biting?” Flanagan asked the young woman.

“Because I wasn’t good enough for him,” she replied.

“Because I didn’t do what he asked me to do.”

The young woman then described an incident on Thanksgiving 2016, when she said her boyfriend became violent after picking her up from her mother’s house.

“He put my head on the centre console of his truck and grabbed my hair and just started punching me in the head,” she said, explaining her boyfriend then drove to a beach along the South Thompson River in east Kamloops and told her to get out of the vehicle.

She said he forced her to the ground on the beach and began attacking her.

“I was laying on the ground, kind of fetal position on my side,” she said.

“He was punching and kicking me. We got close to the water and my hair was in it. He kept hitting me.”

The young woman said her boyfriend began to complain after the attack ended.

“We got back up to the truck and he was like, ‘I think I need to go to the hospital. My foot really hurts,’” she said. “It hurt because he was kicking me so hard.”

The trial is expected to conclude later this week. The young man remains behind bars.

Finlay McPhie (left) and the TRU WolfPack soccer family are ready to defend their turf this week at the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship at Hillside Stadium.

N

eil McPhie’s absence will be felt on the sideline this week, a painful void for a family that lost a husband and father last year.

Had brain cancer not taken his life, the soccermad dad would have been living vicariously through his 21-year-old son Finlay, whose TRU WolfPack will take to the pitch on Thursday night in the most

important match in program history at the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship.

“I don’t know if you get used to it, but it’s just kind of something you have to deal with and you just kind of feel him around,” said Finlay, a defender from Vernon who was named a Canada West second-team all-star this season.

“Ever since he passed away, you just feel his pres-

ence whenever you play a game and it’s something that never really goes away.”

Neil, who was heavily involved in the Okanagan soccer scene, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2015 and died on March 13, 2016.

He was 56.

Finlay’s mom, Michelle, might not have Neil by her side in the Hillside Stadium bleachers this week, but she will have support from a

WolfPack family that knows too much about grief.

Sebastian Gardner spent much of his short life contributing to WolfPack soccer, both as a player and coach.

He died after a long cancer fight on March 26, 2017. He was 28.

“Every game I’ve had him on my arm,” said WolfPack elder statesman Ryan Glanville, a 34-year-old forward who will graduate from university soccer after nationals.

“We have these armbands. It’s been so important for me in the routine to take time out and just appreciate everything he’s

done for the program.

We miss him a tonne. He touched a lot of us. We want to go out this week and make him proud.”

TRU will open its tournament against the York Lions, a Toronto-based powerhouse participating in its fifth straight national championship.

Michelle will be bundled up in the stands watching.

“He internalizes a lot,” Michelle said of Finlay. “I try and spend a lot of time with him. I don’t miss a game. I

make sure that I’m there for him.

“He [Neil] loved watching Finlay play. He was a coach. He’s a big part of who Finlay is as a soccer player.

He would be so incredibly proud of him. It is very difficult.”

The Lions, who won Canadian titles in 2014 and 2015, are heavy favourites playing against Canada West bronze medallists who are embracing the underdog role.

Compelling stories are easy to find when looking at the 2017 Pack, whether it’s eight international players coming together to play Canadian soccer or six Kamloops footballers — Lubo Magdolen, Justin Donaldson, Allan Connor, Zahk Barone, Cole Hooper and Kyle Hutton — looking for national gold on home soil.

But none are quite as powerful as the loss of loved ones uniting a team that refers to itself as family.

“I know Seb had put together a fundraiser for Neil when he was sick,” Michelle said. “He played a big part in that. They called it Back the Pack.

“That team really does a lot together. I see it on the field. I see it with John. He’s an amazing coach and mentor. I think they’re going to do really well because of it.”

Neil would often share a few quiet words of encouragement with Finlay before matches, moments that can only be memories now for the TRU defender.

Less quiet words would be shouted from the sideline during matches.

“It’s definitely tough for her because my mom and my dad would come to games together,” Finlay said. “Now she’s coming alone. He would make comments during the game. She would always tell me. And now she doesn’t get that. It’s difficult not seeing him in the crowd.”

Neil was a defender, just like his son.

“When Finlay was awarded the certificate to be on one of the all-star teams, I was sitting there by myself sobbing thinking that Neil should be there with us,” Michelle said.

SEBASTIAN GARDNER: Gone, but not forgotten by the TRU WolfPack soccer team.

Cassie Gardner was pregnant with her husband Sebastian’s child when he died earlier this year. Seb and Cassie’s daughter, Yael James Gardner, was born on Oct. 31. For more on Cassie, Seb and Yael, read KTW on Friday.

Antulov, who once patrolled the Vancouver 86ers’ back line, took the head coaching reins in 2014 and guided TRU through a transition to U Sports from the Pacific Western Athletic Association.

He took a chance on Finlay, not highly recruited out of W.L. Seaton secondary in Vernon, and made him one of his first signings.

“I knew Neil quite well,” Antulov said. “The one thing about Finlay — I don’t think he missed a training session. I don’t think he missed a game. This was kind of his sanctuary.

“Although it was tough for him, I can’t believe how well he handled it. You don’t know what it’s like when he’s by himself but, when he was here, he was committed and devoted.”

Neil left his stamp on Finlay.

Gardner, also from Vernon, has left an indelible mark on TRU. “The guys wear his arm-

bands, I’ve got pictures of Sebby in my office, we’re putting some stuff up in the locker room and we’ve started a scholarship in his name,” Antulov said.

“I think about him all the time. You never forget guys like that who have been instrumental for you personally, but also for your program, as well. We keep his family close.”

Gardner’s parents, John and Penny, will be found cheering for the WolfPack at Hillside Stadium this week.

And they may just be found with a crying baby in their arms, their granddaughter, Yael.

When Gardner died, his wife, Cassie, was pregnant with their child. Yael was born on Halloween. (For more on Cassie, a former Pack soccer player, Seb and Yael, read KTW on Friday).

“To see the boys out there wearing their Sebby bands on their arm, I don’t think they know how much of a difference it makes,” said Cassie, noting Seb would turn into “a puddle” if he could see his daughter.

“People still carrying on his legacy and considering him and finding inspiration from what he went through, it really does buoy me. The program has been outstanding.”

The hosts will be in tough at Hillside Stadium on Thursday night when they open the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship, but the visiting York University Lions are taking nothing for granted.

The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack take on the Lions, who on Saturday earned their fourth Ontario University Athletics title in five years.

Game time is at 5 p.m.

“They’re not here by accident,” York head coach Carmine Isacco told KTW. “They’re here because they’re a Top 3 team in the West, which is an accomplishment.

We lost to Alberta last year and they’re the team that beat Alberta.

They have the Canada West player of the year [Mitchel Popadynetz].

They have quality.”

Isacco said his team has been preparing for TRU and knows what to expect.

“There’s video, there’s ways to see your opponent,” he said.

“We’ve done as much preparation as possible and I think now we just have to focus.”

A loss to York would eliminate TRU from medal contention, but WolfPack head coach John Antulov said his team is not looking ahead just yet.

“We’ve got a lot of tape on York and we’re trying to see where their strengths are, their weaknesses,” he said. “But as much as

you’re looking at the other team, you’ve got to focus on your own game, as well. We have to be prepared.”

Part of that preparation, Antulov said, is keeping TRU’s players from putting the cart before the horse.

“They’re very excited and you have to temper it,” he said.

“You have to make sure the guys are focused and ready to go. You want to have your confidence high, but not too high.”

The eight-team tournament is slated to wrap up on Sunday. All games will be played at Hillside Stadium.

Thompson fell to 1-2. And Krista McCarville of Thunder Bay, Ont., evened her record at 1-1 with a 5-3 win over Winnipeg’s Briane Meilleur (1-2).

Round-robin play continues through Friday and the crossover playoffs begin Saturday.

There are 14 teams entered in both the men’s and women’s draws. Four teams _ two men’s teams and two women’s teams _ will qualify for the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings next month in Ottawa.

The Roar of the Rings — also known as the Olympic Trials — will determine Canada’s representatives at the Pyeongchang Olympics in February.

on the mound, Roy Halladay was generous and gentle away from the field.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Nearly every memory began with a story about Halladay’s legendary workout program and his early morning routine.

Halladay even outworked Chase Utley.

The fan favourites quickly became close friends after Halladay was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies before the 2010 season. Utley recalled his introduction to Halladay at the team’s practice complex in Clearwater, Florida. “My heart hurts writing this,’’ Utley wrote on Instagram. “I can still remember the first day we met. It was 5:45 a.m. on the first day of spring training when I arrived. He was finishing his breakfast but his clothes were soaking wet. I asked if it was raining when he got in. He laughed and said, ‘No I just finished my workout.’ I knew right then — he was the real deal. Thank you Roy for allowing us to witness what it takes to be the best. We will all miss you.’’ Former teammate Cole Hamels, currently a Texas Rangers ace, joined Phillies chairman David Montgomery at Philadelphia’s ballpark to remember Halladay.

Fans left pictures, candles and notes outside the stadium to honour Halladay, who played four years there after spending his first 12 seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Halladay won a Cy Young Award in each league and tossed a perfect game and a no-hitter in his first post-season start in the same year after coming to the Phillies.

The 6-foot-6 righthander was a threetime 20-game winner who finished 203-105 with a 3.38 ERA. Halladay was a devoted husband to wife Brandy and a loving father to sons Ryan and Braden.

He served as a guest instructor with the Phillies in spring training and had his own office at the complex.

He enjoyed working with the organization’s young players on the mental aspects of baseball.

The Type R Honda Civic is a hatchback that comes with a scoop atop its aluminum hood that ingests outside air to cool the engine. It is also equipped with three pipes below the rear bumper, which are quieter than the average exhaust.

Type R completes Honda Civic lineup MALCOLM GUNN SPECIAL TO KTW wheelbasemedia.com

U

nless Honda is holding back on us, the Civic lineup of sedans, coupes and hatchbacks is now complete with the recent arrival of the Type R. This made-in-England model

carries the brand’s performance torch way up high and will help cement the automaker’s sporting presence on North American streets.

The Civic Type R has been available in other countries and the only way fans here have had any fun with it up until now was with video games.

Perhaps some credit should be afforded these dedicated follow-

ers for helping convince Honda to import the fifth-generation Type R to North America.

Unlike the Civic Si coupe and sedan, the Type R comes in hatchback body style only, but that’s just for starters.

The most obvious difference between the tamer and torrid Civics is the Type R’s downforcegenerating wing, with knife-edge side fins, attached to the tailgate.

There are also “vortex generators” that smooth out the airflow passing over the roof to make the rear wing more effective.

Another telltale Type R feature is the exhaust system with three pipes below the rear bumper.

All expel exhaust at lower speeds and under hard acceleration, but during higher speeds the centre pipe creates backpressure, forcing the exhaust to the quieter

outer pipes. Honda said this cuts down on the tiring droning noise that’s common with many lowrestriction exhausts.

Not to be overlooked is a large scoop atop the aluminum hood that ingests outside air to cool the engine. There’s also a 20-inchwheel-and-summer-tire combo that almost completely fills the fender openings.

Specific to the Type R is the suspension, power steering and Brembo-brand front and rear brakes.

Clearly, the Civic Type R isn’t for everyone, and for some people its appearance alone makes it unsuitable or inappropriate.

But for many enthusiasts, all that matters is performance value and the Type R is loaded with it.

Another step in self-driving vehicles A self-driving car company created by Google is pulling the human backup driver from behind the steering wheel and will test vehicles on public roads with only an employee in the back seat.

The move by Waymo started Oct. 19 with an automated Chrysler Pacifica minivan in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler, Arizona. It’s a major step toward vehicles driving themselves without human backups on public roads. The company also said it would launch a ride service to compete with Uber and Lyft.

Waymo, which is owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, is in a race with other companies including Delphi, General Motors, Intel, Uber, Apple and Lyft to bring autonomous vehicles to the public. The companies say the robot cars are safer than human drivers because they don’t get drowsy, distracted or drunk.

Google has long stated its intent to skip driverassist systems and go directly to fully autonomous driving. Within a “few months,’’ the fully autonomous vans will begin carrying volunteer passengers who are now taking part in a Phoenix-area test that includes use of backup drivers.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Irene Dick

Gautam Parghi

It is with deep sadness that the family of Irene Dick (nee Nystoruk) announces that she died peacefully surrounded by family on November 3, 2017 after a long and courageous struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. She was 75.

Irene was born on the family farm in the area of Vesna, Saskatchewan where she spent her childhood. She met the love of her life Peter Dick and was married October 20, 1962. They had three daughters and in 1974 the family relocated to Kamloops. Irene remained in Kamloops until 2011 when she moved to Haven Hill Care Home in Penticton. Irene had a zest for life and loved to sing, dance and spend time with friends and family. No one ever left her home hungry.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to all the staff at Haven Hill Care Centre for the love and care Irene received the last six years.

A Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, November 11, 2017 at 10:00 am at Everden Rust Funeral Services in Penticton, BC, followed immediately by interment at Lakeview Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.

He will be keenly missed, and always remembered.

In keeping with his wishes, Gautam was cremated privately; no public service or memorial will be held.

In lieu of sending flowers, please consider making a donation in his name to the “Iccha/ Wish Fund” of the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

Gloria will be remembered, cherished and missed by her loving husband of 67 years Bob Sr., sister Frieda, brother Danny, daughter Carol (Dale), son Bobby (Allanna), grandchildren Yolanda (Kelly), Michael and Tanya (Kevin), and great-grandchildren Olivia, Ava and Abbygail.

There will be no formal service by request.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Dan Allen at 64 years young. After a short battle with cancer he passed away at home on November 4, 2017.

He leaves behind to treasure his memory the love of his life Wendy, daughters Patricia (Scott) Shmoorkoff, Kyla Allen, Tara (Chad) McDonald and grandchildren Taiya and Lincoln, James and Evelyn. He also leaves behind his mother Roberta Allen, siblings Rob (Pam) Allen, Kelly Allen, Kathy (Rusty) Powers, Karalee (Harold) Bult and many numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends.

He was the perfect husband, father and papa. He loved and treasured his family. There could be no better example of unconditional love. He was dedicated to his family with Dan and Wendy often hosting family dinners, special occasions and holidays. Dan was and always be the glue that held everything together. Dan always made everyone around him feel like they could do anything they ever wanted and proved that in his actions by stepping out of his own comfort zones and accomplishing anything he set his mind to.

Dan started working for CP Rail in Coquitlam in 1972 and retired in Kamloops in 2007. He was blessed to have 10 years of retirement to enjoy his family and further pursue his passions of travelling, gardening, cooking and spending time at Young Lake.

He will be deeply missed.

No funeral by request.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to BC Children’s Hospital.

The family would like to thank first responders, ambulance and staff at RIH emergency as well as Dr. Gabriel, Dr. Gorman, Dr. Hodgins, Dr. Van Heerden and Dr. Wallace.

Prayer For

Peace Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

250-554-2577

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out – The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things seem worst that You must not quit!

Footprints One night a man had a dream.

He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

Allan’s passion for Scottish music led him to become a talented musician, spending hours playing and inspiring his children’s and grandchildren’s love for music. He enjoyed badminton and camping when time permitted and in his latter years. Allan enjoyed gardening and baking and time with family.

Allan was known as the friendly but opinionated Scotsman who happily serviced Kamloops and surrounding areas for more than half his life.

and mentor to students and colleagues alike.

Love Lives on Forever in the Heart Love lives on forever in each memory and thought.

Of the special husband, father and friend who meant so much and the happiness he brought.

Love lives on forever...

It will never fade away... for, in our hearts, He is with us every day.

Our Family... Jan, Janice, Carole, Jon, Taylor and Logan Cook.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
