inside his Jeep, causing him to veer onto the sidewalk and into Gatey.

Investigators would later determine Gourlay’s Jeep was travelling at a speed of about 55 km/h when it hit Gatey.

“The area just below the Jeep’s right front signal light came in contact with Ms. Gatey’s head resulting in her immediate death,” Flanagan told court, reading from an agreed statement of facts.

“The Crown accepts that Mr. Gourlay did not see Ms. Gatey either before or after the collision. Security video from nearby homes and a witness who heard the collision confirm that Mr. Gourlay did not stop at the scene of the collision, but continued on his way at an unchanged speed.”

Court heard Gourlay conducted a quick visual inspection of his Jeep outside his mother’s nearby home, while dropping off her dog.

“He did not see any obvious damage,” the agreed statement of facts reads.

The father of a Kamloops teen killed in a 2016 hit-and-run crash on a residential street in Aberdeen read a victim-impact statement in court on Wednesday, saying he is “disgusted” to know Jason Gourlay was cleaning evidence of his daughter’s death off his Jeep the day after the crash while he and his family Jennifer Gatey during a golf grieved. outing with dad Cameron.

“I now find it almost impossible to be happy or find joy in life,” Gatey said.

“Even a hint of happiness causes me to feel guilty that Jennifer will never again have the opportunity to feel happiness or joy.”

Gatey also expressed frustration with the slowmoving wheels of justice for the man responsible for his daughter’s death.

Gourlay, 43, pleaded guilty to one count each of failure to remain at the scene of an accident and obstructing justice, both charges stemming from the Nov. 4, 2016, death of Jennifer Gatey.

The 16-year-old died instantly after being struck

by Gourlay’s Jeep while sitting on the curb at a bus stop on Pacific Way, less than a block from her family’s home.

Gourlay fled the scene and did not come to the attention of police for two days. He was arrested in March 2016 and pleaded guilty on Wednesday.

Gatey was in Courtroom 5D of the Kamloops Law Courts to hear Gourlay’s pleas and listen to the facts of the incident laid out by Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan, and to listen to lawyers talk with B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather MacNaughton about the possibility of the sentencing hearing spilling over into next week.

“From my view, it’s torment,” Gatey told KTW outside the courtroom. “I realize those individuals in the criminal justice system feel that they have to do what they have to do, but it is torment and it feels like the victim is at the bottom.”

Accused took Jeep to car wash after fatal hit-and-run TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The day after Jason Gourlay veered off the road and into a teenager sitting on a sidewalk waiting for a bus, killing her instantly, he took his Jeep to a car wash and sprayed it down.

He knew police might be looking for him. He noticed lights and sirens headed toward the area of the crash as he drove home the night before.

Gourlay also knew police were looking for a vehicle with damage to its right front end. A short time before he visited the car wash, police issued a news release saying they were looking for a vehicle with damage to the “front passenger side.”

So he also removed the damaged right signal light from the front of his Jeep and discarded it. Then he took the left signal and mounted it where the right one had been.

That’s what Gourlay’s Jeep looked like when police found it parked outside his

home in Dufferin on Nov. 6, 2016.

Jennifer Gatey died two days earlier, on the eve of her 17th birthday. The bus she was waiting for when she was killed would have taken her to Thompson Rivers University, where she was planning to meet her boyfriend.

The stop where Gatey was killed was on Pacific Way south of Aberdeen Drive, less than a block from her family’s home.

“The circumstances of this case are heartbreaking because they involve the death of a young girl on the hopeful cusp of the rest of her life,” Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said Wednesday in front of more than 30 people in a Kamloops courtroom.

“The whole community of Kamloops has been deeply affected by Jennifer’s death.”

When Gourlay struck Gatey, he was headed to his mother’s house to drop off her dog, which he had just taken for a walk.

According to Gourlay, he was “momentarily distracted by movements of the dog”

STEPS TO CREATING A FIRESMART PROPERTY ZONE 1 (HOME-10 METRES)

ZONE 2 (10-30 METRES)

• Remove debris such as leaves, twigs, and needles from around the house and under decks.

• Keep lawns mowed and irrigated.

• Enclose decks with non-combustible materials to discourage the collection of debris and embers.

• Keep firewood piles and other items stacked at least 10 m from the house, especially during wildfire season.

• Ensure you have a clean, fire-resistant roof and clean eaves.

• Enclose soffits and vents to ensure embers cannot enter them.

• Ensure trees and shrubs are pruned, branches do not contact the home, and they are not connected to the surrounding forest—keep a minimum 3 m between the tree and the forest.

• Don't forget to consider any buildings or fences within 10 m of the home and take steps to FireSmart them too.

• Remove build-ups of branches, needles, dry grass, and other debris from the ground.

• Remove vegetation and small trees that may act as a "ladder", carrying fire into the treetops.

• Space trees 3 m apart and prune branches within 2 m of the ground. Deciduous trees (having leaves) are an exception; they help to hinder fire spread, so their removal is discouraged.

ZONE 3 (30-100 METRES)

• Remove vegetation and small trees that may act as a "ladder", carrying fire into the treetops.

• Space trees 3 m apart and prune branches within 2 m of the ground. Deciduous trees (having leaves) are an exception; they help to hinder fire spread, so their removal is discouraged.

TRU LOOKS TO UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN IN HIRING NEW PRESIDENT DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University conducted a worldwide search for a new president — and found him just two provinces away.

Brett Fairbairn of the University of Saskatchewan will take over the roles of president and vice-chancellor in December, replacing Alan Shaver, who has held the positions for 7.5 years.

Shaver plans to leave at the end of August and current provost Christine Bovis-Cnossen will be interim president until Fairbairn arrives.

At a public announcement on Thursday in the Grand Hall on campus, Fairbairn said he was attracted to TRU by its ability to partner and build relationships. His current position is as a professor in the University of Saskatchewan’s JohnsonShoyama Graduate School of Public Policy.

His areas of research are in democracy, social movements and co-operative enterprises worldwide.

Fairbairn said he was especially impressed by TRU’s ability to engage with its community and encourage participatory discussion.

He told the gathering the only reason someone would want to

take on the job of a university president is because they “love universities” and are focused on ensuring the students get the best education possible.

TRU board of governors chair Jim Thomson described the search for a new president as arduous and time-consuming, but ultimately worth it.

Thomson said Fairbairn has a depth of experience in academics, strategic leadership, relationship development.

“And a strong value system of integrity, respect and accountability, added with a good measure of passion,” he said, noting those were key characteristics the 16-member search committee identified when it started its hunt for a new president last fall.

Thomson praised Shaver as someone responsible for the growth of TRU in recent years, noting construction of new buildings and expansion of programs all come from “seeds planted by Alan when he got here and are coming to fruition now.”

Fairbairn has taught and conducted research at the University of Saskatchewan for more than 30 years.

He is a fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and has held numerous grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

He has served in voluntary leadership roles, including as chair of the Saskatchewan Academic Health Sciences Network and chair of the Saskatchewan Archives Board.

For his university and public contributions, Fairbairn was awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002. He holds a BA from the U of S, a BA (firstclass honours) and a doctorate from the University of Oxford, and a doctorate also from Oxford, which he attended on a Rhodes scholarship.

Fairbairn does not come to TRU without past controversy.

In May 2014, he resigned from his position as provost at the University of Saskatchewan after firing a tenured professor and former executive director of the university’s School of Public Health after the professor wrote a letter to the provincial government and Opposition, criticizing a controversial cost-cutting plan at the university.

Politicians, students, faculty, alumni and the Canadian Association of University Teachers accused Fairbairn of suppressing the professor’s right to academic freedom.

The firing was overturned by the university president the day after Fairbairn resigned.

A month later, Fairbairn returned to the university as a professor.

Sentencing submissions to end next week From A3

“After dropping his dog off, he drove to his home in Dufferin. On his way, he noticed emergency vehicles headed to Aberdeen.”

Firefighters were the first emergency crews to arrive at the scene, responding to a 911 call from a neighbour who heard the collision that killed Gatey.

Kamloops Fire Rescue was on scene at 6:41 p.m., about 10 minutes after the incident. Two hours later, police issued their first news release advising drivers Pacific Way was closed in both directions due to a motor-vehicle incident.

The next day, a Saturday, Mounties sent out a more detailed release and plea for information.

Just after noon, the release said

investigators were looking for the driver of a vehicle with damage to its front passenger side.

“By Saturday afternoon, Mr. Gourlay knows that he collided with Ms. Gatey,” the agreed statement of facts reads.

Gourlay then went to a car wash, where video surveillance showed him spraying down his Jeep — which was missing a frontright signal light. When police find the vehicle on Gourlay’s driveway a day later, it was missing the signal light from its front driver’s side.

“On closer examination of the Jeep they [police] note that it appears that the driver’s side signal light has been moved to the passenger side,” the agreed statement of facts reads.

“Subsequent forensic exami-

nation confirms that this has occurred, and that steps taken to complete the swap include snapping off alignment tabs on the driver’s side signal light to make it fit the passenger side. In pleading guilty to count No. 2 [obstructing justice], Mr. Gourlay acknowledges that he washed his vehicle and swapped the front signal lights to obstruct the police investigation into the death of Jennifer Gatey.”

Flanagan urged B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather MacNaughton to impose a prison sentence in the range of 11 to 14 months, minus five months for time served, as well as a two-year driving prohibition.

“Mr. Gourlay was wilfully blind to what had occurred,” he said.

“Rather than turn himself in, he

took steps to destroy evidence.”

Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen began his submissions late in the day Wednesday. He suggested a sentence of time served, noting the time Gourlay has spent behind bars has been less than ideal given the notoriety of his case.

In his submissions, Flanagan mentioned an incident in which Gourlay was attacked by a fellow prisoner at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre.

“Mr. Gourlay was assaulted while in custody,” Flanagan said.

“The person who assaulted him was aware of the allegations against Mr. Gourlay. It was a serious assault that included a broken jaw and other injuries.”

Flanagan said there were “difficulties” with the Crown’s case,

which he considered while discussing a potential guilty plea.

“The outcome of the trial was something less than certain,” Flanagan said, noting issues could have included proving who was driving the Jeep at the time of the crash and whether the driver ought to have known a collision took place.

“There would have been triable issues. This would have been a long and complicated case. What I want to emphasize is the value — the tremendous value — of finality.”

It’s not yet known when MacNaughton might make a decision. Jensen is expected to conclude his submissions next week, but a date will not be set until Friday.

‘Process of finality’ begins From A3

Tucked in the inside pocket of his suit jacket, Gatey had with him a victim-impact statement he read to court on Wednesday afternoon.

He said it was difficult to hear the facts of his daughter’s death and be in the same room as Gourlay, who remains free on bail.

“Listening to the facts is heartbreaking,” he said, pausing as

Gourlay walked past his family in the second-floor lobby of the courthouse.

“I’m not yet fully at a point where I can describe what I feel about Mr. Gourlay.”

But, Gatey acknowledged, closure is inching closer.

“As soon as I was informed there was almost a certainty of a guilty plea, it began the process of finality,” he said.

MacNaughton said she will require some time to consider a sentence once the hearing has finished.

Cavers courts controversy with Cascadia tweet JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor supports the idea of British Columbia separating from Canada to form a new nation with Washington and Oregon called Cascadia.

It comes amidst a heated dispute over the twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline, which has pitted B.C.’s NDP government against Alberta, the federal government and Kinder Morgan.

“The federal government and the Alberta provincial government are both trying to ram something down the province of B.C.’s throat and I don’t see that happening and that’s [Cascadia] an option,” Coun. Donovan Cavers said.

Cavers promoted the idea on social media this week, taking aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

He told KTW the posts on Twitter were partly tongue-in-cheek.

But, when asked, Cavers said he stands 50/50 on the idea of B.C. leaving Canada for Cascadia, which is generally proposed by proponents to include B.C.,

Washington and Oregon.

Cavers’ posts drew the ire of critics.

“Kamloops deserves better representation,” tweeted Lianne Milobar, wife of Kamloops-North Thompson (Liberal) MLA Peter Milobar.

“This is insulting to every Canadian who has fought for our country. It is also disgraceful of our parliamentary democracy,” former KamloopsSouth Thompson (Liberal) MLA Terry Lake tweeted.

Cavers said the jurisdictional nature of the issue allows him to express his personal opinion, despite the fact people see him online and know him as a representative of the City of Kamloops.

“As an individual citizen of B.C., a citizen of Canada, a citizen of the world, I’m allowed to make comments that are my own opinion,” he said.

Cavers compared Cascadia to the Quebec sovereignty movement.

While some criticized him, Cavers said many support the idea.

A few people tweeted their agreement on the province being part of Cascadia.

Asked if he had

entirely thought through ramifications

of B.C. leaving Canada, Cavers replied,

“Of course not. I’m just a councillor. I’ll leave that

up to people in higher places to figure out

whether that’s something feasible.”

HARNESSING HOPE FOR HUMBOLDT

A

n entire community of 6,000 people is mourning loss that is being felt across the country and beyond.

When reports of the bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team collided with a semi-truck on April 6 in Saskatchewan began, anyone who has ever lived in a small town, been on a hockey team or driven their child three hours in a snowstorm to get to the arena on time felt goose bumps and a pang in their heart.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a sports fan. Canada is a hockey country and there are hockey towns in every nook and cranny on the map.

Kamloops is one of them. The Blazers, Storm and countless minor hockey teams all travel for games, which usually means hours spent in buses and cars and vans during the worst weather months of the year.

The tragedy in Saskatchewan goes beyond hockey lovers.

Kamloops and cities and towns from coast to coast to coast have basketball teams, soccer squads, swimmers, gymnasts and others, all travelling vast distances to pursue competition or even just for the love of their sport.

The Humboldt tragedy has impacted people in Canada and beyond, with an online fundraising campaign exceeding $7 million as of Thursday, making it the nation’s largest ever such fundraiser.

In addition, the thoughts of Canadians are being expressed in the Humboldt-green lights emanating from Kamloops City Hall and the Tournament Capital Centre, in the many hockey sticks being placed on doorsteps and in the jerseys worn in workplaces on Thursday.

Let’s all take a moment this week and remember the Broncos, because even if we live two provinces away from Humboldt, they were a part of the Canadian hockey family and their memories can live on with us as we continue to play for all of them.

Sentence him to talk

N

ext week, Jason Gourlay is expected to say something at his sentencing hearing in the Kamloops Law Courts.

We assume he will apologize for driving his black Jeep into 16-year-old Jennifer Gatey in late 2016, instantly killing the girl.

He may offer an explanation as to why he did not stop his Jeep, rather than drive on, leaving Jennifer dead on the Aberdeen sidewalk.

Whatever Gourlay says, if he does address the court, will not be enough to properly explain the disturbing deeds he did in the cold light of day following Jennifer’s death.

To be momentarily inattentive while driving — if, indeed, as Gourlay claims, he drove his Jeep onto the sidewalk on Nov. 4, 2016, because his mom’s dog was distracting him — is understandable. To hit and kill someone with your vehicle, then panic and leave is also almost understandable when one considers the immediacy of such a tragedy and the stress it places on the mind.

But to wait until the next day, knowing full well the police were looking for the driver of the vehicle that killed a young girl, and consciously try to wash away evidence and switch front-end signal lights in an effort to hide the damage?

That takes callousness to a level reserved for the very worst among us.

That callousness continued in the days, weeks and months after police found and seized his Jeep in the form of Gourlay taking no

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS accountability for what he did.

In the weeks and months following Jennifer’s death, Gourlay refused to admit guilt.

Jennifer’s father, Cameron Gatey, was left wondering what kind of person could do such a thing.

“You know that you hit my daughter, and killed her and left her there,” Cameron said just days after Jennifer died. “I can’t imagine a person that can do that. I can’t imagine what’s in their heart and head.”

A normal person may get distracted while driving and accidentally kill a person. A normal person may even panic and drive away. A normal person does not then try to hide the evidence.

A normal person does not take cover behind a legal team and stretch out a family’s immeasurable grief for 17 months.

Jason Gourlay is obviously not like the rest of us. We can be thankful he is of the minority.

But what now?

It is likely the 43-year-old will not spend much time, if any, behind bars, based on sentenc-

ing submissions from Crown and defence.

The Crown is suggesting about five to nine months when time served is factored in (Gourlay’s time served equals about five months, though he was not behind bars for that long), while the defence says he should spend no more time in jail. A driving prohibition will likely be attached to the sentence handed down by Justice Heather MacNaughton.

Gourlay pleaded guilty to two charges: failing to remain at the scene of an accident and obstruction of justice.

The former carries with it a maximum sentence of life in prison, though that term is obviously not in the cards — nor should it be.

It would achieve nothing to lock Gourlay away forever.

Here’s an idea for Justice MacNaughton to consider: In addition to any custodial term and driving prohibition, the sentence handed to Gourlay should include a serious community-service component.

Have him spend a considerable amount of time, years if possible, speaking to teens at schools about his experience, about his failure to accept responsibility for his actions and about the need for young people to become much braver adults than he ever has been.

One promising life has been lost. The least the justice system can do is have the person who took that life work to teach others — and himself — the harsh lessons he has learned. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COURT DECISIONS ARE HARMING CHILDREN Editor: So many children are suffering due to decisions made by judges.

It should be mandatory for judges to become foster parents prior to presiding over a family court hearing or trial. One gains a much greater insight into a child’s needs when it’s your arms that comfort them through heartbreak.

Here’s one example of many: Parents are separated and living in two different cities, with one parent having custody and the other parent with visitation rights.

The parent with visitation rights files a petition with the court to gain 50 per cent custody. A police record of the petitioning parent was heard in court.

The petition was granted and the judge decided that, every Sunday, the children would change

residences.

That decision forced the children to also change schools every other week. Their teachers started marking them absent for two weeks every month, resulting in grades being affected.

It became difficult for the kids to make friends and participate in sport events as the children’s weekends were spent travelling back and forth, crying non-stop on their way to home of the parent who petitioned the court.

I have spoken with social workers, school teachers and a lawyer about this case. They, too, were all aghast at such a cruel and thoughtless ruling.

Here is another example: A baby was born and abandoned by the parents. The child was placed in a foster home.

A judge decided that placing a child with family is always best, so a willing family member was given custody.

The infant resided there for only a short time because the family member changed her mind and no longer wanted the child. The child was returned the foster home and began to thrive until the family member changed her mind and a judge agreed to send the child back.

Again the family member changed her mind and the child wa sent back to the foster home.

This child repeatedly suffered feelings of abandonment, confusion and instability. This child cried non-stop each time they were forced to visit the family member.

It took seven years of this back and forth game before an adoption order was granted.

So many professionals who play major roles in many children’s lives can often be heard saying it is all about the children. Not so.

These professionals don’t hear the children’s cries at night, nor do they see devastation on the children’s faces when forced to visit family. They do not see a heart broken beyond repair when children learn they must return to live with family. And they don’t seem to care.

I beg all judges to hear the children and listen to foster parents.

They know first-hand. They’ve seen the pain and wiped away the tears.

Children have suffered long enough. The system must change.

The hearts of the professionals need to be present in the courtroom at all times.

CAVERS’ TWEET IS TERRIBLE Editor: Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers has really gone off the rails, possibly fuelled by the unbalanced power the Greens have attained in this province.

His latest rant via Twitter proposes B.C. and the western United States separate to form a nation called Cascadia.

In the tweet, he “dares” our national leadership to hold back financing for projects in this province.

Is this how we want Kamloops, through this city councillor, to be viewed? Are we really proposing secession from Canada?

It is time city council undergoes a substantial change in representation as none of us should be supporting this sort of social media attack against our nation.

Thank goodness there is a civic election on Oct. 20.

Partnerships are crucial “Partnership is not a posture, but a process — a continuous process that grows stronger each year as we devote ourselves to common tasks.”

— John F. Kennedy

S

uccess within the education system is dependent on creating strong partnerships.

There are many reasons why a school district such as ours would want to seek partnerships to help with the task of educating our youth.

Partnerships with others can help improve the educational experience for children both inside and outside of the classroom.

For SD73, we have incorporated the need for partnerships in our five-year strategic plan.

The fifth priority of our plan states we will “strengthen partnerships to enrich the way we lead, learn and work.”

The priority is backed up by three goals, which ideally inspire and encourage our staff and team to practise effec-

SHELLEY SIM View From

SD73

tive collaboration at all levels, which in turn build effective networks and engage communitybased and job-embedded professional learning and training.

Supporting classrooms and the educational experience and creating better outcomes is the end game.

To achieve these goals, SD73 is continually working to find and implement partnerships with others.

We have many working relationships with agencies of government, volunteer agencies, support groups, professional bodies, volunteer groups, institutions, businesses and individuals.

For example, SD73 has agreements with Thompson Rivers University that allow Grade 12 students to take courses at the postsecondary school.

Doing so gives our highest achievers a head start on their university education.

We work with TRU’s School of Trades to provide our students with a chance to explore possible career pathways in trades before they need to make a final commitment.

Not only is this successful with our urban schools, but our rural schools have also benefited from these opportunities.

We also have partnerships with community agencies such as the RCMP. School liaison officers are active in our schools and help teachers and principals educate students about any number of issues, from drug use and abuse to better ways to solve problems and disputes.

The district partners with the United Way every year to help raise

funds for the charitable organization, knowing the work it does so often helps our students.

As well, SD73 works to ensure connections with our rural communities are continually strengthened and included in planning and implementation.

The district also partners with groups and agencies to improve literacy in all our communities.

Examples can be found in all SD73 communities, but likely one of the most popular initiatives is the Read With Me classes offered to early learners, as well as the Bright Red Book shelves and the Bright Red Book Bus, which is immensely popular each summer.

We work with all First Nations bands throughout our district to improve the educational experience for our Aboriginal learners and Aboriginal completion rates are on the rise.

We work with private business as well.

The annual Heavy Metal Rocks program, for example — which

provides students with access to industry professional high-end equipment — would not be possible but for partnerships with companies.

There are so many working partnerships between SD73 and others in the community that it is hard to quantify them all, but they are all important to the experience of our staff, students, and parents.

Education is truly enhanced when a collective energy is embraced and brings people together to expand the opportunities for our students.

Together, we really are stronger and, in this strength, our children will find their success and the support they need.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Gas prices spiked to $1.36 per litre in Kamloops this week. Even the Esso in this photo, at Hillside Way and Rogers Way in Aberdeen, raised its price by nine cents since this photo was taken. As usual, the cheapest gas in town can be found at Costco on Versatile Drive in Aberdeen, where customers were paying $1.29 per litre as of Thursday.

Petroleum analyst says $2 per litre gas is possible scenario SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Fuel at many of River City’s gas stations has jumped to the $1.36 per litre mark — and it likely doesn’t have anything to do with the ongoing Kinder Morgan pipeline dispute, according to one analyst — at least not yet.

GasBuddy senior analyst Dan McTeague said the recent increase is an indication Kamloops is catching up with the rest of Western Canada, where the price of gas has increased due to the rising price of oil and the Canadian dollar, which McTeague said is not responding to the higher price of oil.

“So, because of that, it’s a double-whammy,” he said.

To show how the price of oil affects the price of gasoline, McTeague looked at the price of oil one year ago, when it was around US$51 a barrel, compared with when KTW contacted him recently, when it was around US$65 US a barrel.

He concluded that change in oil price would account for a gasoline price increase of 12 cents per litre.

In the past seven days, the price of crude oil has gone from US$63 a barrel to US$67 a barrel.

Another factor in the price increase consumers are now

noticing is the carbon tax increase brought in by the province on April 1, accounting for 1.2 cents per litre of the increase.

Gas prices in Vancouver are currently around the $1.54 per litre mark. Drivers in that area incur an additional 17-centper-litre TransLink tax when fuelling up, which explains some of the difference, but McTeague said that’s not the only reason.

“You have to recognize that one of the main reasons why there is such a huge disparity in prices within British Columbia isn’t just taxes.

You have to look at the fact they have very little supply, and what little supply they have is being provided by a constrained existing Kinder Morgan pipeline — or coming from the U.S.,” he said.

The political side of things is one McTeague has seen before.

He served as a Liberal MP in Pickering, Ont. from 1997 to 2011, including a stint as chair of a government task force on gasoline pricing in 1998.

The Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is an issue of great tension between neighbouring premiers John Horgan and Rachel Notley.

The Alberta premier has threatened to shut off the taps to B.C., restricting the flow of

petroleum products.

Kinder Morgan has also ceased all non-essential work on its pipeline expansion project due to the B.C. government’s opposition.

“I’m sure this is not what anyone wants,” McTeague said.

“But if it’s going to be a zero-sum game and the Horgan government is going to play for keeps, it has to expect that the pain will be felt more so in B.C. than any other province. You’ll be without supply of gasoline, to a large extent.”

The picture McTeague painted is one where B.C. is forced to seek emergency supply elsewhere — from other provinces via rail or from neighbouring U.S. states like Washington.

“In that scenario, where there’s the outside chance of bringing in desperately needed supplies, your starting price is $2 per litre,” he said.

If that happens, McTeague said, the economy would come to a “standstill,” noting other measures might come into play, such as tax abatements from the provincial government.

“It’s a game of chicken that I think the Horgan government is playing and it has no idea how serious and how devastating this is going to be for the B.C. economy,” he said.

“They better get a grip real soon.”

SPCA shelter inching closer to reality JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The BC SPCA is one step closer to building its new shelter in North Kamloops.

City council on Tuesday approved a development permit for the property at 2815 Tranquille Rd., with building-permit approval the next step.

“We’re looking forward to getting this project off the ground,” said BC SPCA manager of community engagement Lisa Fuller.

The new animal shelter will be a one-

storey, 10,500 square-foot building complete with a spay-neuter clinic, 12 indoor/ outdoor dog kennels, five large rooms providing a variety of housing options for cats, a dedicated small animal area, an assessment room, office space, a volunteer area, a multi-purpose community room for workshops, training, summer camps and other events.

The current Eighth Street shelter in Kamloops has struggled with disease outbreaks in recent years due to its small size and old ventilation system. Fuller said the building was initially designed as a motorcycle shop. It topped the BC SPCA’s list

when it decided to upgrade 12 of its shelters in the province through 2025.

“Our current location is over 30 years old,” Fuller said.

The $6.5-million project received $1.5 million from the former B.C. Liberal government. Fundraising efforts continue and Fuller said about $740,000 remains to be raised.

Fuller said a public campaign will follow in coming weeks, with work on the new centre expected to begin this spring. The facility is scheduled to be open a year after construction begins, in late spring or early summer 2019.

A pair of downtown ambassadors were in the right place at the right time on Wednesday afternoon when they administered Naloxone to a woman who had overdosed.

The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association Customer Care and Patrol Team, consisting of

Angela Halas and Jon George, came upon the woman in the 500-block of Victoria Street, near the library.

KCBIA executive director Carl DeSantis said the woman was “clearly having distress” when the team approached her. She collapsed and the duo proceeded to perform CPR and administer Naloxone.

“They carry a number of resources,” DeSantis said. “A Naloxone kit is something they have on them.”

Emergency services were called and the woman survived. The pair have been patrolling the downtown core for two years and have never before had to administer the drug that temporarily reverses the effects of an overdose.

“They were doing very well when the situation was resolved and came back here,” DeSantis said. “They were quite proud they were able to intervene and support this lady.”

Domtar set to spend millions on mitigation JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Domtar is spending $3.5 million on equip-

ment to reduce dust and smoke and eliminate hazardous chemicals.

The mill’s environment manager, Kristin Dangelmaier, provided

an environmental update to Kamloops City Council on Tuesday, detailing two projects slated for May. A $1-million electrostatic precipitator —

which uses charged metal plates to remove particulates from boiler gases — will be purchased for the mill’s chemical-recovery boiler.

In the last seven years, Dangelmaier said, the mill has reduced emissions, which result in smoke and dust, by about 70 per cent due to previous spending in electrostatic precipitators.

Coun. Tina Lange asked what improvements will stem from the investment.

“I don’t have a hard number to give you to say that’s going to yield 10 per cent improvement, that’s going to yield 20 per cent improvement,” Dangelmaier said. “We really need to put the equipment in to quantify it.”

The second expenditure — at a cost of $2.5

million — is a scrubber to treat air emissions from the bleach plant area. The replacement scrubber, which will be bigger and better than the current one, will treat more emissions and eliminate the use of sulphur dioxide on site, which Dangelmaier called the “most hazardous chemical” at the mill.

The material was previously “consumed in the process,” she said.

“Once these improvements are in place, we’ll be able to cease bringing that material in altogether,” Dangelmaier said.

“You wouldn’t notice anything in regards to particulate matter, which is PM10 and PM2.5, because those emissions don’t come from the bleach plant, they come from another part of the process,” Dangelmaier said.

“I would hope in terms of the odour, you would see a positive difference. It isn’t often that we smell odour from the bleach plant, so I would say the average person would not notice,” she said.

“But we know it’s the right thing to do, we feel good about it. We know that it will do a better job than the equipment that we have there today.”

Dangelmaier said odour has decreased significantly in recent years and noted complaints are usually linked to weather, like wind.

Last year, the mill received 42 odour complaints and about a quarter of them resulted from an incident last February when sulphur gases were “vented into the atmosphere,” according to a report on emissions sent

to council last month.

It was the result of air and water systems going down after a ground fault at one of the mill’s power poles.

Coun. Arjun Singh asked whether anything can be done to eliminate the pulp mill smell.

“We know that the process to produce that product is not odourfree,” Dangelmaier said.

“Absolutely, we focus year after year on ways to implement and improve odour capture, odour treatment, odour control.

That’s what we focus on, what it is we do.

“But people need to be aware that there are other factors at play here.

“We’re focusing in on what we control and that is the odour emissions and that’s why we make the types of improvements that we do.”

Council wants more time for people to weigh in Lafarge plan JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops council decided on Tuesday to request more time from the Ministry of Environment for public consultation as Lafarge seeks permits for new operations at its plant in the east end of the city.

Coun. Denis Walsh made a motion, which passed unanimously at council’s regular meeting, to send a letter to the ministry requesting the public comment period be extended from April 30 to May 31.

Lafarge hopes to install a gypsum granulator system that would turn gypsum powder into beads — used in agriculture — which would be bagged and shipped. It is also proposes the use of a pumice dryer, which will use existing covered conveyors.

Both processes will discharge materials into the atmosphere.

The plant’s kiln shuttered in 2016 and cement production ceased,

resulting in jobs at the plant going from 36 full-time employees to nine full-time employees.

The move by council follows a recent information session held by the company, which took place at the South Thompson Inn on April 5. Walsh attended and said between 50 and 70 people turned up. He noted mistrust of the corporation by neighbours and “a lot of fears” around the new application.

“The consensus in the room seemed to be the monitoring of air emissions had been lax in the past,” Walsh said.

Walsh told KTW concerns were raised about dust from trucks going into the river, with the city’s water intake is situated downstream. He said the owner of Sagewood Winery noted significant costs of having to wash dust off grapes.

Ideas floated at the meeting, Walsh said, included striking up a committee, as well as the need for internal monitoring systems.

“It’s an honour system,” he

said of the current setup.

The public comment period had already been extended to the end of April.

Wayne Welsh’s home is one of the closest properties to the plant. He has lived on Shuswap Road, a field away from Lafarge, for 20 years.

Welsh spoke to KTW in March with his concerns.

“We live just about eye-level with those stacks and we’ve complained over the years -- not only us, but the neighbours as on both sides have -- of the corrosive dust coming down on vehicles and eating the paint,” Welsh said.

He said he is worried that with operations restored, he will see pollution return to previous levels and won’t have a chance to provide input beforehand.

“I guess we feel that with all the fuss that was made over Ajax and the people up in Aberdeen ... I think very little attention has been paid to Lafarge and their practices,” he said.

Data from a geological study involving Highland Valley Copper mine near Logan Lake could lead to a faster way to identify mineral deposits in B.C. Genomic sequencing — technology traditionally used in the medical industry to detect DNA — is an emerging science in the mining sector.

At HVC and two other mines in the province, genomic sequencing is being used to try to detect changes in the micro-organisms living in soils over bodies of ore, thanks to funding from Geoscience BC. “We are now talking about using biology to discover buried mineral deposits,” Bruce Madu, Geoscience BC vice-president of minerals and mining, told KTW at this year’s Kamloops Exploration Group mining conference in Kamloops.

Soil samples collected from HVC and mines on Vancouver Island and in the Cariboo have been stored at the University of British Columbia and are being processed, Madu said.

Results are expected sometime in the summer or early fall, he said.

“A positive result from Highland

Valley Copper would be that there are specific species of organisms that show up overtop of a mineral deposit,” he said. “A negative result would be that it’s the same species overtop the ore body as it is some distance away from the ore body.”

If a pattern exists over the already identified ore deposits at these active mines, the technology could prove to be a successful way of detecting new mineral sites.

“This is medical technology used to develop the human genome, commercialized,” Madu said.

The next step would be to continue testing, he said, noting sequencing equipment has become much cheaper than it was 10 years ago and is smaller in size.

“Literally, it’s gone from machines the size of rooms down to hand-held units that can allow you to analyze samples for small fractions of a dollar per sample,” Madu said.

The mining industry traditionally uses chemistry to detect potential mineral deposits, but that process can take several months, Madu said, adding the emerging technology in genomic sequencing could prove to provide realtime results.

Poppies on street signs will honour veterans JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Heritage Commission member behind an initiative to add poppies to city street signs is disappointed council won’t fork over extra cash now to honour veterans.

“It wasn’t a lot of money,” Jeff Lodge told KTW.

On Tuesday, council voted to implement the initiative over a prolonged period. When city street signs matching the names of veterans require changing, the new signs will have a poppy added. It will cost no additional money, but could take up to seven years to implement.

Council had the option of submitting the project for next

year’s supplemental budget, which would have required the city to spend $8,415 to replace the 51 signs all at once.

Coun. Arjun Singh said the gradual addition of poppies will save money and allow the city to honour veterans several times over.

Kamloops Museum and Archives supervisor Julia Cyr said she foresees many public education opportunities.

“With each single veteran that we’re talking about, there’s a whole history,” Cyr said.

“It would take anywhere from

five to seven years to replace those signs,” City of Kamloops civic operations director Jen Fretz said, noting it would depend on the age of the existing signs.

While Lodge is happy the idea has come to fruition, he called it a “very small partial victory.”

Lodge said those 51 signs don’t encompass the 280 veterans listed on the city’s cenotaph.

W. Victoria work to start KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Plans and design work are underway by the City of Kamloops to reconstruct West Victoria Street from the BC Lottery Corporation at 74 West Seymour St. west to Overlanders Bridge.

Roadwork, utility upgrading, lighting, sidewalks, landscaping, signal and crosswalk changes and underground services by BC Hydro will be included in the capital project, which is expected to begin in 2019.

City of Kamloops capital projects supervisor Darren Crundwell said asphalt work was initially slated to be included among repairs to Overlanders Bridge.

Because underground city utilities — water, sewer and storm drainage — are among the oldest in the city, Crundwell said the city waited to plan the entire project as a whole.

“They’ve [utilities] held up, but they are early 1900s vintage,” he said.

Conventional PVC piping today lasts about 60 years, but a mix of materials are currently in place underground on West Victoria Street, once home to Chinatown in the early days of Kamloops.

“There’s a number of reasons why utilities can and can’t last,” Crundwell said. “Soil conditions, growth demand, other problems underneath the road, settlement.”

The city unsuccessfully applied for a grant through the Union of B.C. Municipalities to help fund the capital project. It is unclear how much the project will cost. Construction is is expected to take two years. Traffic will be reduced to two lanes during that time.

The city will meet with businesses and the public impacted by the project.

New winter rules Following another long and intense winter, the provincial government is making changes that will affect drivers — including a rule that extends winter tire and chain regulations on some highways for another month.

The Minister of Transportation is moving on a number of measures for 2019, including: • Extending winter tire and chain regulations on select highways, including mountain passes and rural routes in high snowfall areas, from Oct. 1 to April 30 (instead of March 31), to account for early-spring snowfall. This includes the Coquihalla Highway between Kamloops and Hope; • Stricter commercial vehicle chain-up requirements, including higher fines for commercial vehicles not carrying chains or not chaining up when required. Currently, the fine is $121. The new fine amounts are yet to be determined. Other North American jurisdictions have fines up to $1,200 for similar violations; • A pilot program to restrict commercial vehicles from using the far left lane on key threelane highway sections in the winter, to ensure routes remain open to snow plows, emergency vehicles and passenger vehicles; • Spending $1.8 million over the next three years in additional weather stations and overhead message signs to provide better realtime weather and road condition information; • On Class A highways like the Coquihalla, a return to bare pavement within 24 hours of a winter weather event ending (old standard was 48 hours) at temperatures warmer than -9 C, when de-icing chemical use is effective; The Coquihalla summit had a total snowfall of 830 centimetres from Oct. 1, 2017, to the end of February 2018 — a 114 per cent increase over the 10-year average.

Christian radio may be on way to airwaves DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A new radio station could be coming to Kamloops — but the people behind it don’t expect to start broadcasting until later this year.

The International Harvesters for Christ/Harvesters Media Group (HMG) has a May 31 hearing with the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission on its application for a licence to open a Christian radio station in Kelowna, with a rebroadcasting transmitter in Kamloops.

HMG is based in New Brunswick.

The application was originally to have been heard by the CRTC on Jan. 11, but was withdrawn to be rescheduled later.

Jeff Lutes, president of the organization behind the bid, said he doesn’t expect a ruling on the application until the fall.

In its application, the group proposes programming from 6 a.m. to midnight, including religiousteaching programs — which would take up about five hours a day — and Christian music. News, weather and local-event promotions would also

be part of daily programming.

HMG has operated radio stations for 15 years, starting in Moncton. Its Halifax station generates 75 per cent of its overall revenue.

In its application, HMG said it has hoped for years to open Christian radio stations in B.C., filling what it sees as a broadcasting void.

It said it will ensure it meets Canadian content required by the CRTC; one of the sources for its Bible programs is based in B.C. It said 20 per cent of its music lineup features Canadian singers, adding there are opportunities for local emerging artists to receive airplay and be interviewed about their music.

Documentation with the application asserts HMG has a stability level stronger than other religious FM broadcasters in the country.

“With strong transmitters, online listening, apps, a full roster of Bible teaching programs, many radio personalities, top Christian AC [adult contemporary] music and a clear list of Canadian Christian artists, we believe Kamloops and Kelowna listeners will be very satisfied with the standard of excellence we set for broadcasting,” documentation by Lutes states.

CONFIDENCE A BESTSELLER

A Matter of Confidence, a book covering last year’s historic changing of the guard in Victoria, has quickly become a bestseller. Authors Rob Shaw (seated, right) of the Vancouver Sun and Richard Zussman (seated, left) of Global TV penned the book after interviewing many key players involved in the fall of the B.C. Liberal government and the ascent of the NDP-Green alliance. Shaw and Zussman made a recent visit to the Chapters store in Kamloops to sign copies and talk about the book with the public. Among those getting copies signed Brian Cissell (standing, foreground) and Tyler Carpentier.

Cinderella’s stepmom to stand trial on Law Day MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Who would have thought you could get a hot dog at the courthouse?

Next Tuesday, in celebration of Law Week, members of the public can do just that, along with getting to know how the legal system works in B.C. “Law Week activities are held across the nation to celebrate the signing of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which was signed April 17, 1982,” said event organizer and lawyer Aachal Soll.

Law Day in Kamloops will take place on Tuesday, April 17, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Columbia Street law courts, where residents can check out the facilities and take a tour of the cells with a sheriff.

New this year is a Truth and Reconciliation room

that will inform people on how First Nations court operates.

“We’ll have two to three elders who are part of First Nations court who will be there volunteering their time,” Soll said.

There will also be traditional storytelling from those elders and a movie about Indigenous lawyers and their experiences with stereotypes in the courtroom.

Also new this year will be a barbecue on the back lawn of the courthouse, where people can grab a free hot dog.

Display tables from various support agencies, such as legal aid and the Elizabeth Fry Society, will be featured on the second and third floors of the courthouse.

“I think what [people] realize is the number of resources that are present for people to take advantage of if they have a legal issue,” Soll said of

the event.

The open house features plenty of family-friendly activities and usually attracts more than 200 children and other residents each year.

People can take part in the Ask a Judge forum, in which a justice will answer all their pressing questions.

Kids can put their detective skills to the test by participating in the courthouse scavenger hunt, visiting the various information booths to find their answers.

If not needed for a call, Mounties may also have a police dog demonstration at 5:30 p.m.

They were scheduled to be at the event in the last two years, but were called out on an investigation.

Police may also have a forensic table on display, showcasing different types of drugs to give people a better idea of what they look

like, Soll said, noting that has yet to be confirmed.

The main event of the night will be a mock trial at 7 p.m.

An exercise in simplifying the basics of how a trial works, this

year’s proceedings will be Cinderella-themed.

Cinderella’s stepmother will be on trial for unlawfully exploiting Cinderella and forcibly confining her, but a jury of kids selected from the audi-

ence will decide if she is guilty.

The fake trial will be tried before a real judge and lawyers dressed in costume to make it as realistic as possible for the children to which it’s geared.

Law Day in Kamloops has been ongoing since 1991 and is organized by a local committee made up of sheriffs, police officers, court registry staff, judges and lawyers.

NATIONAL NEWS

More remains identified CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Police have identified the remains of more men suspected to have been murdered by alleged serial killer Bruce McArthur as they expand their investigation more than four decades into the past.

Det. Sgt. Hank Idsinga said the 66-yearold self-employed landscaper is now facing seven first-degree murder charges related to the deaths of men with ties to Toronto’s LGBTQ2+ community.

The most recent count was laid on Wednesday, when McArthur was formally charged in the death of 42-year-old Abdulbasir Faizi.

McArthur had already been charged with the first-degree murder of six other men who are believed to have died between 2010 and 2017.

Idsinga said the sprawling investigation is now scrutinizing 22 unsolved homicides that took place between 1975 and 1997.

While he said there is no current evidence linking McArthur to the cold cases, he noted they fit the general profile of the alleged victims identified to date.

“We may discover cases from the ’70s,

we may discover that 2010 was the first murder,’’ Idsinga told a news conference.

“We just don’t know yet.’’

Faizi’s remains were among at least seven recovered from planters at a Toronto home where McArthur once did landscaping work.

McArthur was arrested in January and charged with the murders of Andrew Kinsman and Selim Esen, who went missing from Toronto’s gay village in 2017.

Later that month, McArthur was charged with the first-degree murder of Majeed Kayhan, Soroush Mahmudi, and Dean Lisowick.

In February, he was also charged in the death of Skandaraj Navaratnam.

Idsinga said the remains of all but Mahmudi have been identified among those recovered from the planters at the central Toronto home.

Idsinga said police plan to investigate at least 70 more properties where McArthur is believed to have worked, adding that the operation may get underway as early as next month.

Police also remain on the scene of McArthur’s east Toronto apartment, calling

it an unprecedented investigative scene.

“We’ve quite frankly never seen anything like it,’’ Idsinga said. “I think it’s easily set the record for a forensic examination of an apartment.’’

On Wednesday, Idsinga also released an enhanced version of a photograph of a man believed to be another one of McArthur’s alleged victims. He said police have received hundreds of tips, but have yet to identify the man in the image.

Many of McArthur’s alleged victims were the subject of two previous police probes into the disappearances of men from the city’s gay village.

The first police probe — named Project Houston — was launched in 2012 to investigate the disappearances of Faizi, Kayhan and Navaratnam. It closed after 18 months as it did not establish the whereabouts of the missing men or resolve the circumstances on their disappearances, police said.

In August 2017, police launched Project Prism, which looked into the disappearances of Kinsman and Esen.

McArthur popped up on the police radar in the fall of 2017 as part of Project Prism.

The composite images released by the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office show a white man with fair hair and green or hazel eyes, traits investigators say are connected to the DNA of the person they believe killed 18-year-old Tanya Van Cuylenborg and 20-year-old Jay Cook.

The bodies of the high school sweethearts from Saanich were found in separate locations near Seattle in 1987 after they disappeared on an overnight trip.

Investigators sent forensic evidence to a lab in Virginia, which conducted DNA phenotyping — a process that looks at specific codes to predict a person’s appearance, including eye, skin and hair colour, facial features and ancestry.

The technology cannot predict traits like body weight, but police have released three images (below) predicting what a possible suspect may have looked like at 25, 45 and 65 years of age.

WELCOME TO THE HolMES IS WHERE

Someone asked me what I mean when I always say “If you are single and happy, contact me.”

I have noted there is nothing wrong with being single and that it is nobody’s business if it’s by choice and you plan to stay that way for good.

But for people who are single and wanting to share their life with someone, it’s important to connect happy, positive people.

There is more to being happy than just smiling.

I am not saying we don’t all have times in our lives when we feel a bit sad, get in a funk or need some space. In this day and age of open communication around the awareness of mental health, I am aware there are many people who have real struggles with anxiety, depression or mood disorders. That being said, there are people who face obstacles, like anxiety, who can be truly happy. It means their partners need to be patient and understanding — just ask my husband or

that cause you sadness and shame that only you can fix, you are not ready for a relationship. No partner can fix that for you.

Only you can fix yourself.

I have had people come to me who are wonderful, genuine, attractive, successful and smart. But they are missing a key ingredient in their life — happiness.

Maybe some people struggle with weight, or drinking, or working 12 hours a day.

(I have been guilty of all three.)

But until one can become aware of it, the chances of meeting someone are not great.

If you want to feel better about yourself, a matchmaker is not the answer.

A personal trainer, or a counsellor, or a business coach could be exactly what you need.

Going to a gym, volunteering or even changing jobs may be what you need to get to a place where you feel happy on the inside. Once you are happy on the inside,

IS

the results will show on the outside. A personal trainer can be tough, but they will encourage you to succeed. Volunteering will fill your heart with warmth and a new job might give you a fresh outlook on life. There is work involved in all of this, but the rewards will be worth it. And, along the way, think about what an amazing partner you are going to make for someone.

You may even meet someone at the gym, or while volunteering, or through your new job and you won’t even need a matchmaker.

(Did I just say that?)

If you like your job, have good friends, have accepted past failed relationships, mourned your lost spouse and are looking to share your happiness with someone else, I can help. Contact me by email at holmes@ wheretheheartis.ca. This week, I will draw for a $50 gift certificate to Nandi’s Flavours of India — and that makes me happy.

What I mean when I refer to being happy is this: when you look in the mirror ,are there things you see that are really upsetting to you? All of us tend to focus on the negative flaws we see and would love to change — and that’s normal. But if you can truly accept and learn to like things you can’t change, such as height, age spots, stretch marks and receding hairline, then you are in a great place to be ready for a relationship.

NATIONAL NEWS

A swastika by any other name . . .

PETER GOFFIN

CANADIAN PRESS

Two residents of a southwestern Ontario town are asking a court to overturn the municipality’s decision to keep the word “swastika’’ in the name of a local street, arguing the term is offensive to many.

The Township of Puslinch decided not to change the name of Swastika Trail in December after a group representing residents of the privately owned street voted in favour of maintaining the name.

Randy Guzar, who lives on Swastika Trail, and William Knetsch, who lives nearby, filed an application for judicial review this week, asking a court to quash the township’s decision and the

result of the vote by the Bayview Cottagers’ Association.

“Given the evils associated with the swastika, Swastika Trail’s name is a matter of significant controversy and is offensive to many on the street, in the Township, in the province and nationally,’’ the men argue in their application.

The township’s decision to keep the name was unreasonable, the men claim.

“The Township relied exclusively on the result of the Nov. 1 vote — a vote which ... was plagued by procedural errors and was not even conducted in accordance with the Cottagers’ Association Constitution,’’ their application alleges.

Puslinch’s chief administrative officer and clerk, Karen Landry,

said in an interview that the township followed the processes of the Municipal Act on the matter.

The town council will review Guzar and Knetsch’s legal application before deciding what course of action to take in response, she said.

Bayview Cottagers’ Association president Donna O’Krafka declined to comment on the legal action, but said she does not believe a name change for Swastika Trail is necessary.

Swastika Trail was named in the 1920s before the rise of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, local residents have said.

Those in favour of keeping the name have argued the swastika had a long history as a symbol of peace prior to the Second World

War, but others have argued the name is now associated primarily with hate and genocide.

The street in Puslinch is owned by a numbered corporation controlled by a man who lives on Swastika Trail, Guzar and Knetsch’s legal application says.

The men claim in their application that, when they attended the meeting of the Bayview Cottagers’ Association last year, they did not know they would be voting on the trail name issue or that the township would treat the result of that 25-20 vote as “binding and determinative.’’

The association only allowed members who live on Swastika Trail to vote on the issue, contrary to the group’s constitution, the men allege.

The association’s notice of the meeting was “one-sided and tainted by bias,’’ containing a link to an article about the history of the swastika before its use by the Nazis and a list of more than 30 items — such as driving licences and passports — that residents would need to have updated if Swastika Trail received a new name, Guzar and Knetsch say in their application.

They also argue no one in favour of changing the trail’s name was allowed to contribute to the notice circulated in advance of the vote or to the agenda of the meeting at which the vote took place, though they acknowledge Guzar was allowed to read a letter from a Jewish advocacy group opposing the street’s name at the meeting.

GLOBAL VIEWS

SYRIA: TWO UNCONVINCING EXPLANATIONS

T

he FBI raid on the office, home and hotel room of President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, may persuade the president that a larger, longer-lasting distraction is needed.

But it’s still likely his response to the alleged poison gas attack by the Syrian government in Douma last Saturday will be short, sharp and soon forgotten.

That’s how it worked in April 2017, when Trump “punished” Bashar al-Assad’s regime for another alleged poison gas attack in rebel-held Idlib province by dropping 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles on the Syrian air base at Shayrat, from which the attack supposedly originated.

Lots of explosions, not many hurt, no lasting political conse-

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH quences.

Trump is talking tougher this time, including tweets that threatened missile attacks on Syria.

Asked if military action was possible, he said: “Nothing is off the table ... If it’s Russia, if it’s Syria, if it’s Iran, if it’s all of them together, we’ll figure it out.”

And what if Russian President Vladimir Putin bears some responsibility for the attack?

“He may, yeah, he

may. And if he does, it’s going to be very tough, very tough. Everybody’s going to pay a price. He will, everybody will.”

It may just be the usual Trump bluster, but the Russians are so concerned that their UN envoy, Vasily Nebenzia, warned on Tuesday that the use of “armed force under mendacious pretext against Syria, where, at the request of the legitimate government of a country, Russian troops have been deployed, could lead to grave repercussions ... I would once again beseech you to refrain from the plans that you’re currently developing.”

Now, it’s hard to believe the Russians would not know if the Syrians were using poison gas; after all, they are using the same air bases.

American advisers certainly knew what was going on when they

were giving Saddam Hussein targeting data for poison gas attacks against Iranian troops in the 1980-1988 IranIraq War. “The Iraqis never told us that they intended to use nerve gas,” said retired U.S. air Force Col. Rick Francona, who was a military attaché in Baghdad during the 1988 strikes.

“They didn’t have to.

We already knew.”

The Russians would know, too — but why would they go along with it?

The great puzzle about poison gas use in Syria is that it has no plausible military purpose. The targets are never fighters. The victims in the various videos are always civilians and using poison gas obviously has a big political price.

Why would the Syrian regime pay it, especially when it has

already won the military battle?

It just doesn’t make sense for the regime to be deliberately killing civilians with poison gas.

Maybe it doesn’t have to make sense.

You will often hear explanations that essentially say Assad and his partners-incrime are simply evil.

They do it because it’s wicked and because they can.

But even then you have to explain why the Russians would let them do it.

Moscow says the Douma gas attack didn’t actually happen.

“Our military specialists have visited this place, along with representatives of the Syrian Red Crescent ... and they did not find any trace of chlorine or any other chemical substance used against civilians,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei

Lavrov.

Instead, Lavrov suggested, it was a “false flag” operation in which the besieged rebels deliberately staged a gas attack and blamed it on the Assad regime — or at least used video footage from somewhere else and pretended it had been shot in Douma.

Can you really believe Syrian rebels would kill their own innocent civilians in such a horrible way?

Well, if they are losing the war, and the only way to turn the tide is Western military intervention against Assad, and the only way to mobilize Western opinion to support that intervention is to get him blamed for using poison gas, then maybe they would.

Getting the poison gas would be no problem.

The rebels overran about half of Syria in

the early stages of the war and gained control of a number of chemical-weapons facilities belonging to the Syrian army. They are almost all Islamist radicals by now and would be comfortable with the argument that the end justifies the means.

I don’t know which of these explanations for the gas attacks is true.

What I do know is that I feel as isolated, writing this, as I did back in early 2003 when I was one of the few Western journalists questioning all the nonsense and outright lies about Iraq’s nuclear and chemical weapons that provided a justification for the invasion of that country.

And I know the evidence is not strong enough either way to justify a major Western military attack on the Assad regime. gwynnedyer.com

MONECA JANTZEN KTW Graphic Designer RunClub+ Recently a dear friend told me before she died that she would come back and haunt me if I didn’t get “healthy.”

I probably wouldn’t object to such a visit from her, but truth be told, her plea from that day haunts me regardless.

I’ve had a few things happen in recent months that are making me delve a little deeper than I am typically willing. I have been on autopilot for some time just getting through life.

Simply going through the motions with RunClub isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Odds are good that going to the group sessions and following through with the assigned playwork will result in positive physical changes.

Nevertheless, the program does offer this entire other world of emotional, and for some, spiritual fitness — and a whole community of support within which to grow.

During most of my earlier RunClub sessions, I have managed to keep much of this touchy-feely, introspective stuff at bay.

Like the extra weight that buffers much of my existence in the world, I tend to be more of an observer than a participant.

This, it seems, is one of my lifelong lessons.

The bluntness of what my friend said to me that day shocked me and I vowed to change my ways.

I’m really trying to keep my promise — not just to her, but to myself. I just have to do the work. All of it.

TIM SHOULTS Operations Manager, Aberdeen Publishing 5K Sweet

At Sunday’s training session, we had a lesson on fitness — financial fitness.

There is quite a bit of commonalities between physical fitness and financial fitness. They both require discipline.

Nowadays, everything is so convenient. We even have Amazon’s one-click ordering method that, once you click your card, sees your item get shipped out immediately. We need to stop ourselves from buying that new pair of shoes that we don’t need.

Usually when I have the urge to buy something, my rule of thumb is to wait a whole day, as we all tend to want instant gratification. We perceive wants as needs.

Running is like investing. The more discipline and effort you put into it, the more growth and results you will see. You can start your financial fitness journey by saving and using the “pay yourself first” method, a program that automatically transfers a specific amount chosen by you from your chequing account to your savings account whenever you use your debit card to purchase something.

Then, you just sit and wait and watch your savings add up.

For both running and saving, the growth and improvement is positive reinforcement and this will motivate you to do more.

The key to success for both of these is patience as it is all about the long-term gain.

After a week away from training, I had a little trepidation coming back to RunClub — and not just because it felt strange being let into a the TD Bank branch downtown early on a Sunday morning.

But sure enough, the friendly, welcoming, totally judgment-free atmosphere made me feel like I’d never been away. I should have known, but it took skipping a week to truly experience it, I guess.

Also a new experience for me was helping send off our half-marathon group and their coaches, who had to leave earlier than the rest of us due to the length of their run.

They left under a big arch of cheering participants.

In all the years I’ve done Boogie training, I haven’t seen that before and it was wonderful to be a part of the celebration.

From there, we hit Riverside and Pioneer parks for our 5K Sweet run and even managed to Boogie the Bridge! OK, it was the Valleyview pedestrian bridge, not Overlanders Bridge, and we turned around and headed for home immediately after crossing it, but it still felt good.

I felt good enough that despite only having to do eight sets of running followed by walks in our group, when our coach called an optional ninth run, I found myself doing it without even thinking — this despite the fact that I had been trying to argue earlier that our fourth rep had to be our fifth.

It’s great to be back on the program!

PAUWELS, LIONS ON TRACK FOR NCAA TOURNAMENT

SAINT LEO LIONS PHOTO Saint Leo Lions’ attack Kyle Pauwels is among Kamloops lacrosse graduates enjoying NCAA careers down south.

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kyle Pauwels has never qualified for field lacrosse’s version of March Madness, but that might change this year.

The Kamloops product plays attack for the Saint Leo Lions, the Floridian squad that boasts a 10-1 record and is ranked No. 6 among NCAA Division 2 schools.

“Winning these next four games is going to be crucial,” said Pauwels, who is in his final year of NCAA

field lacrosse eligibility.

“Things are going pretty good and we’re looking pretty good.”

Pauwels spoke to KTW before his Lions edged hometown Florida Southern 12-10 on Wednesday. He scored four goals in the contest.

The NCAA Division 2 Tournament will feature four northern teams and four southern squads.

The Lions would likely be a top-two southern seed if the season finished today, based on record and strength of schedule.

Saint Leo will play host to the Boca Raton-based Lynn Fighting Knights (8-4) on Saturday, with game time set for 10 a.m.

The Lions will play road games against Tampa on April 18 and Florida Tech on April 21 to wrap up

the regular season.

Pauwels transferred to Saint Leo from Pfeiffer of North Carolina prior to the 2017 campaign, when the Falcons dropped down to the NCAA Division 3 ranks.

“A lot of guys were leaving and I thought it was time for a change,” Pauwels said.

The switch has paid off for Pauwels, who earned second-team All-Sunshine State Conference honours last year after recording 49 goals and 60 points in 14 games.

He posted the best NCAA Division 2 shooting per-

centage (.690) in 2017 and was a two-time offensive player of the week in the conference.

Pauwels has 40 goals and 54 points in 11 games this season, along with a shooting percentage of .625.

“Last year, I was a little more of a goal scorer,” he said. “This year, we’re trying to get everyone involved.

There is a wider spread from everyone on offence.”

Pauwels mentioned four more Kamloops lacrosse graduates playing in the NCAA ranks — Jeremy Bosher of Div. 1 Denver University, Josh Bosher

of Div. 1 Saint Joseph’s University of Philadelphia and Kordell Primus and Erik Bunce, both of whom play for the Alabama-based University of Montevallo, a Div. 2 school.

Saint Joseph’s is 6-3, Denver is 8-2 and Montevallo is 6-6.

“A lot of people haven’t realized the amount of guys playing down here,” Pauwels said. “The field game doesn’t get as much attention.

“It’s been a fun ride and it could lead to a lot of people [in Kamloops] wanting to play.”

a lineup you can count on, because others count on you.

GOLDEN ON GOLD COAST GOLD COAST, Australia — Canadian Christabel Nettey won gold in the women’s long jump on Thursday at the Commonwealth Games.

The 26-year-old from Surrey jumped 6.84 metres on her first attempt to finish ahead of Australia’s Brooke Stratton (6.77) and England’s Shara Proctor (6.75).

“I was hoping to build on that [first jump] with a good series, as the only way to win was to keep having good jumps,’’ said Nettey, whose personal best is 6.99 metres. “The other girls are great jumpers.’’

Nettey won bronze four years ago in Glasgow with a jump of 6.49 metres.

Rugby on tap Adding intrigue to rugby matches at Exhibition Park on Saturday is what positive results might do for the Kamloops Raiders’ playoff picture.

Kamloops (9-6) will play host to the Brit Lions (4-11) in B.C. Rugby Union women’s first division action, with kickoff slated for 11:15 a.m.

The Raiders are fourth in league standings and must remain in the top four to host a quarter-final game later this month.

Comox (8-6) is within striking distance in fifth place.

On the men’s side, the Raiders (14-2) have had an outstanding BCRU second division campaign and can clinch a top-two finish and home-field advantage for the playoffs with a win over the Surrey Beavers (12-2-1).

Kickoff is slated for 12:45 p.m.

There will be a beer garden on site.

Name

Former Kamloops Blazers’ head coach Guy Charron has taken over as commissioner for the tier 1 junior B Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League (TOJLL).

The league has never been short on fiery personalities and hot-button issues — and this year is no different.

Last October, the B.C. Lacrosse Association voted to dissolve the province’s intermediate A and B leagues and create a three-tier junior B system, with all leagues being composed of players ages 17 to 21.

The decision passed by a vote of 63-6.

The BCLA directorate members who voted in favour of the move envisioned a system in which former intermediate A squads would become tier 1 teams, junior B teams from 2017 would become tier 2 squads and intermediate B outfits would become tier 3 teams.

Ontario runs a fiveyear junior program and the BCLA is aiming to build a similar system.

“It’s a long time coming and a great idea,” New West junior A president Walt Weaver told the Burnaby Now in October. “The junior B program will be a true feeder program for the junior A team and players have an opportunity to spend five years together, as they do in Ontario.”

The West Coast Junior Lacrosse League (WCJLL) and Pacific Northwest Lacrosse League (PNWLL) have hopped on board, but the third B.C. Junior B Lacrosse League, the TOJLL, is having none of it.

Governors of the Kamloops Venom, Vernon Tigers, Armstrong Shamrocks and South Okanagan Flames of Penticton declared the TOJLL a

GUY CHARRON tier 1 league.

“They wanted to take all of our top players from all of the Interior and they would have had to play down on the Coast,” Venom governor Carol Pittman said. “The [Okanagan] Wild was fine as a two-year program. Our younger players would come back to us when they get older.”

The Okanagan Wild were granted a 16- to 18-year-old B.C. Intermediate A Lacrosse League franchise last season and governor/general manager Martin Gardner was looking forward to jumping into the tier 1 junior B ranks this season.

He was forced to fold the team when the TOJLL declared tier 1.

“We needed cooperation from the junior Bs from last year and for them to become more of a development league, but they are not willing to do that,” Gardner

said. “It was a battle we couldn’t win. We would need to call up tier 2 players to play at this level.

“The Wild is simply on hold. Hopefully, when their eyes open, we can come back. A lot of players are going to go play at the Lower Mainland again.”

Welcome to the party, Mr. Charron.

“At this point, I’m supporting our governors,” said Charron, who replaced former TOJLL commissioner Dan Wray.

“I felt I’ll support what you guys want, but I don’t know if we should be tier 1 or tier 2. For me, with no experience, I’ll support what our governors want, but it brought a conflict with BCLA.” It is unclear if the TOJLL champion will advance to a provincial championship, as the league seems marooned in the Okanagan, operating at arm’s length from the WCJLL and PNWLL. The TOJLL became a four-team league when the Kelowna Raiders announced they cannot find enough players to floor a competitive team in 2018.

“We’re hoping we can help Kelowna somehow,” Pittman said. “We really want Kelowna back. They have like double our population.”

In 2017, the Raiders were outscored 206-52, forfeited three games and finished 0-16.

“It was a tough loss to lose Kelowna, but you don’t want teams that are so inferior,” Charron said, noting he would like to see the Raiders return to the league in the future.

“You want a league to attract fans and be competitive.”

Brad Henry, a cocoach since 2015, has left the club, while Trent Polacik, who also helped coach the Venom last season, will be involved with the team in an administrative role this year.

Kamloops knocked off Vernon in the TOJLL championship series last year to claim its third consecutive league title.

The Venom placed second at the 2017 B.C. junior B championship.

NEWS RELEASE

Don’t answer calls from unknown international numbers If you get missed called from unknown international numbers like Burundi, Malawi, Nigeria, Tunisia, Yemen or Russia, beware … it is probably the one ring phone scam.

You’ll know it is a scam when your phone rings only once. When you check the prefix of the phone number, you’ll usually find that the call originate from countries in Africa or Russia. You should not pick such calls nor should you call back these unknown numbers.

The fraud involves a scammer hiring an international premium rate number. The scammer then will call a victim, let the phone ring once and hang up. The victim thinks they may have missed an important call because it’s from a foreign country so they call the number back and the call is taken. Usually nobody will talk to you or there may be ‘on-hold’ music playing. As soon as the call is picked up, the victim is being billed on their phone bill. The longer the victim stays on the call, the more they are charged.

What can you do to protect yourself? Do not pick up any call that is coming from another country where the phone number is unrecognizable to you. If you missed a call where the phone rang and call display shows that it is from another country with an unrecognizable phone number, do not call back.

If you do receive any of these calls and want more information, contact the Canada Anti-Fraud Centre.

CRA scam still prevalent Kamloops RCMP are warning the public that fraudulent phone calls are still being made by Canada Revenue agency imposters. Once again the callers are claiming that the recipient is evading tax payments and could be arrested. However, some of the scammers have personal information about the victim, making them sound more convincing as a real employee of the CRA. Sometimes the phone calls from the scammers show on call display as coming from the office of the CRA or even the local police detachment.

Keep your money safe and be aware of scammers posing as Canada Revenue Agency employees.

Also know that scammers pose as CRA employees and may advise victims that they have a tax refund and then ask for all of their personal information. This information can then be used in identity theft.

“Tax time is almost upon us and now is the opportune time to talk to all family members about potential scams. Young or old, everyone needs to be educated about fraudsters,” stated Cpl. Jodi Shelkie with the Kamloops RCMP. If you suspect that you have been contacted by a scammer, note the phone number on call display and contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Center, toll free at 1-888-495-8501 or online at CAFC Fraud Reporting.

TURN AGAIN TO LIFE MARY LEE HALL

If I should die and leave you here a while, be not like others sore undone, who keep long vigil by the silent dust.

For my sake turn again to life and smile, nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine.

Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine and I perchance may therein comfort you.

Robert Lum July 15, 1924 – April 8, 2018 Robert Lum passed away on April 8, 2018 at the age of 93. He was born in Ashcroft, BC into a large family of 6 brothers and 1 sister.

He will be sadly missed by his sons Steven and Trevor (Julie), granddaughter Baylee, many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Sylvia, his parents and siblings.

As a young man, Robert trained and served in the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1942 to 1945 as a bombadier. After the war, he moved to Kamloops and worked as a professional driver on several pipeline construction projects across the province, was part owner of a taxi company.

Robert met Sylvia in 1957 while she was in training to be a nurse at Cariboo College; this began a love affair that led to them being wed in 1962.

Robert completed his career as a stores man/bus driver for Cariboo College sports teams which sometimes kept him away from the family on weekends.

However, he was an enthusiastic supporter of his boys and their sports activities. He put thousands of miles on his green station wagon chauffeuring the boys to hockey or soccer practices, games and tournaments.

Robert was a fun-loving, humorous man who loved spending time with family and friends playing cards, dominoes, or enjoying a good meal. As a retiree, Robert and Sylvia enjoyed travelling, mostly on bus tours that included stops at unsuspecting casinos. When not on tour, Robert enjoyed Western films and books, and sharing tall tales with his pals in the McDonald’s coffee crew.

Thank you to Dr. Vlahos for her care over the past years.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Gerald Bruce (Jud) Thompson

Gladys Marie Gaynor (née Hanson)

With sadness, we announce the passing of Gerald Bruce (Jud) Thompson, (formerly of Kamloops) of Summerland BC. Dad was on a trip to Japan with his new wife Louise to visit her family when he was suddenly taken by a heart attack.

Dad was doing what he loved and that was to travel.

He managed to see a lot of this world in his travels and he always had a new trip in mind.

Our father was born Gerald Bruce Thompson on February 15, 1939 in Princeton, BC to George and Alice Thompson. He grew up in Olalla and Cawston where he worked on the family ranch.

He worked in mining and construction and eventually becoming a journeyman carpenter after moving to Kamloops in 1970.

In Kamloops dad was employed at Weyerhaeuser Mill as a carpenter and worked there many years until his retirement.

Jud was a member of the Masonic Lodge in Kamloops as well as in Hedley, Penticton and Summerland when he relocated to there.

He was a world adventurer, an avid athlete and an enthusiastic volunteer with boundless energy. He touched many lives and will be missed by his many family members and loved ones.

September 21, 1931 – April 1, 2018 Mom was born in Lake Alma, SK. She was raised in Langley, BC where she met and married her one and only William Patrick “Pat” Gaynor. She has now joined Dad who passed away on September 12, 2006 and her beloved little dog Spike. Their lives led them from Langley to Mission City when dad worked for BC Tel. Dad and Mom then started their own cleaning business.

They moved on to open their Kirby Vacuum office in Kamloops and finally settled in Williams Lake where they worked hard growing their successful vacuum cleaner business.

Celebration Of Life Clint Acheson

Mom returned to Kamloops after Dad passed away to be close to family.

Mom was loved and cherished beyond words. She was very gentle, a devoted, loving and caring Wife, Mother, Grandmother and GreatGrandmother. She was not just our Mom, but our very best friend. She has left us broken-hearted and will be missed so terribly much by her children Terrance “Terry” Gaynor of Kamloops, Shelly (Gary) Dupont of Kamloops, Beverly (Dave) Roberts of Victoria, her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren will long for her warm smile and kind words. She would always reach out to help someone. Her sense of humor would often catch you off guard and get you laughing uncontrollably. She had a great love for dogs and to watch and feed birds. She was a beautiful lady.

Dad is predeceased by his brother Stan Thompson of Princeton.

In lieu of flowers, donations made to the local SPCA in memory of Mom would be appreciated.

He is survived by his wife Louise, his children Tom (Dolly), Tim and Terri (Neil), Caroline Woods, Brian Woods and David Woods and family. As well, he leaves behind a bunch of grandchildren and even some greatgrandchildren.

Dorothy Friesen 1927 - 2018

We are very saddened to announce the passing of Dorothy May Friesen (nee Tyas) at the age of 91. Mom died peacefully with family by her side at Royal Inland Hospital on April 7, 2018 after a brief illness. Mom is survived by her four kids Kathy (Steve) of Hatzic Prairie, Ken of Savona, Norm (Pieteke) of Savona and Ron (Mary) of Kamloops, six grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. She loved to be with children. She was predeceased by her husband George of nearly 70 years just a short 9 months ago. She was bothered by the fact that she was the last member of her family after being predeceased by her parents Bill and Annie Tyas, older brother Art and younger sisters Noreen and Evelyn and much younger Billy. She was also predeceased by an older half-brother Fred who lived in England and whom she never met.

Mom was raised in Hatzic Prairie near Mission, where she also raised her family. Raising family back then was done in the absence of the many niceties and conveniences of today. Daily living on a small acreage in a rural setting included tending the garden, canning, wonderful baking done on a sawdust burning cook stove, doing laundry with a wringer washer and many other chores. Despite her tiny stature, she also packed many 1000s of bundles of cedar shakes contributing to the small family business. Mom was a reserved, quiet, non-judgmental person. Reading was a favourite pastime throughout her entire life. She loved school and learning. She was very knowledgeable in geography, so their trip to England, where her parents had emigrated from and where she visited with cousin Lynda and Europe was very special to her. She also loved to bake, knit and sew and is well known for her cookies and squares, touques, mitts, baby and doll clothes.

In later years, Mom and Dad lived in 100 Mile House, Savona, Ashcroft and most recently in Kamloops. While in 100 Mile, she self taught herself shorthand for a secretarial job that she loved.

She is going to be deeply missed by all of us.

The family would like to thank the staff at Kamloops Seniors Village for their kindness and all of the folks in the Interior Health system, including at Royal Inland Hospital for their caring.

An informal get-together will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at 4:00 pm at Kamloops Seniors Village, 1220 Hugh Allen Drive, Kamloops, BC. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

YOUNG TALENT Lukas Vanderlip, 19, did the sound design for Western Canada Theatre’s latest production, Armstrong’s War. It’s just one of the Thompson Rivers University student’s multiple talents.

Sound designer lands his first big production DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

L

ukas Vanderlip really wasn’t interested in the theatre.

Sure, his older sister Kora had enjoyed working Western Canada Theatre’s Stage One summer program and loved being in its production of Video Killed the Fairytale Star — but Lukas wasn’t keen on joining her on stage.

However, the next year — and not yet in his teens — both Kora and Lukas were registered again for the educational programming run out of Pavilion Theatre. It was 2008 and the production class was going to perform Charlotte’s Web. Lukas was cast, as he puts it, in the role of the obnoxious brother — and, “after getting out there and starting to perform, it

felt like, well, it was a lot of fun,” the now 19-year-old Thompson Rivers University student said.

In ensuing years, both continued acting but started to branch out into other areas, Kora into making short films and Lukas into creating music. In 2014, as Kora was creating Last Fall, she told her brother she was struggling to find the kind of music she wanted for the short film.

“I had a Yamaha keyboard,” Lukas said, “so I worked on something for her. I took her camera and recorded the keyboard on its microphone.”

His music eventually became the backdrop for the film he also starred in, and Last Fall was the winner in the youth category at the Kamloops Film Festival and chosen best overall in the Vancouver Film School’s

Zoomfest, which saw actors Marina Lee and Lukas ranked second and third best in the best individual performance category.

Last Fall also won for best director and best sound design, taking third in best cinematography and second in best script to screen.

Since then, Lukas has created music for other films his sister has made, but it was the work he did last year on the Westsyde secondary theatre-students production of Medea that landed him his current musical gig — doing the sound design for the last play of the season for WCT. Heather Cant, who is directing Armstrong’s War, said she saw Medea last year and, when she learned Lukas had done the sound, she knew she wanted to see him use his talents somehow at the theatre where he began.

Lukas said because the play is set in the 2006-2007 era, he’s drawn inspiration from the pop songs of that time but has adapted the sound to reflect a bit of the Middle Eastern feel that is invoked by the play itself, the story of a veteran of the Afghanistan war and a young, wheelchair-bound girl who has been assigned to read to him in his rehabilitation-centre room.

Lukas said he hopes the music he’s developed “calls back to the war” and plays well with the set itself, one designed to evoke the sand and desolation of the Afghan countryside.

He said it’s been a challenge for him “to go small with the music instead of big,” but he’s happy with what he’s created, playing on acoustic and electric guitar.

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

It’s not his first time doing sound for WCT but it’s his first big production. A few years ago, he not only created but played live onstage the sound for the Stage One production of Oz. As for a future in sound design, Lukas said he’s not really sure. His educational interest is in ancient history and he can see himself at some point as a curator in a museum somewhere.

However, there’s still that musical side pulling at him.

“If I could make a living off it, I would do it for sure.”

Shane Koyczan will be in Kamloops for a show on Sunday, Sept. 23 at Sagebrush Theatre.

The Penticton-based performer saw his audience grow from largely a B.C. group of fans to an international stature in 2013 with his work on anti-bullying video To This Day. Vue magazine has said Koyczan “unapologetically taps emotion, the deep real feelings we generally aren’t encouraged to express in public.”

Tickets are $32.50 and go on sale Friday, April 13 at the Kamloops Live box office, 1024 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca. Service charges are extra.

Fighting Armstrong’s War Courage and humour to be found in final production of the season for Western Canada Theatre DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

M

ichael Armstrong is one tough cookie.

Just 21, he’s spent six months fighting in Afghanistan and is now home recovering from injuries, both physical and mental.

While a patient at a rehabilitation centre, into his life comes Halley Armstrong, just 12 years old and determined to get her Pathfinder badge by reading to a patient there.

She has her own injuries both physical — she’s in a wheelchair — and mental, as she copes with an overprotective mom and the reality she’s not in her teens yet and her life has been turned upside down.

As portrayed by Zac Scott and Julie Leung, both debuting with Western Canada Theatre’s production of Armstrong’s War, they are an odd pair, obviously bound by their surname but brought together through the commonality of their lives, of learning how to accept and move forward.

As the play progresses, Leung said, it becomes less about getting the badge and more about connecting with the soldier.

Just entering her teens, Halley is coping with hormones, with a mother who calls her six times a day, with her goals, her dreams and with that extra challenge of the bright green wheelchair.

For Scott, his character is someone battling between being that stand-up, integrity-filled guy everyone can count on to be there and the reality that he went to the war-torn country expecting to make some changes and the reality is it changed him.

They start to bond through Halley’s determination to read to Michael. Once she starts to read to him The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane, a story of a young private during the American Civil War who flees battle but longs for a wound to be his badge of courage, Michael is inspired to write of his own experiences.

Halley gets him to read it to her and the play moves into its true mission, looking at the value of life.

Western Canada Theatre has just announced next year’s production lineup Story/B4 That’s not to say this is a play full of tension and moments that make you feel sad.

“If you were to describe it to someone, they wouldn’t think it’s funny,” Leung said, “but it is.”

The play is the last of WCT’s season and opened Thursday, April 12. It continues to April 23 at Pavilion Theatre, 1025 Lorne St. The theatre is set up in a unique way, with the audience on three sides of the solitary set.

Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office at the theatre, online at kamloopslive.ca or by phone at 250-3745483.

The campus and community radio station CFBX starts its annual volunteer drive on Monday, April 16 and continues to the end of the month.

The volunteer-run and programmed station on the Thompson Rivers University campus is open to volunteers from anywhere in the community.

People are needed for both on-air shows and working behind the scenes. In particular, the station is looking for hosts of classical and hip-hop music as well as programming in other languages.

Interested people can call the station at 250-3773988, email radio@tru.ca or go to House 8 across from the Campus Activity Centre.

Small strings, orchestrated

The Ukulele Orchestra of Kamloops has moved its Monday rehearsal location to Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St. The orchestra gets together every Monday from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

It also meets every Tuesday from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Cottonwood Centre, 730 Cottonwood Ave. All levels of experience are welcome.

For more information, call 250-376-5502 or go online to ukuleleorchestraofkamloops.com.

Shot-on-phone photo exhibit to open

Out of My Mind, an exhibition by Solange Belleforte, opens at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St., on April 18 and continues there to May 12.

A mix of iPhone and smartphone photography, Belleforte says her art reflects her short attention span and “double dose of curiosity.”

The opening reception is Saturday, April 21, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. She will give a talk on creating photo art from a smartphone on Saturday, April 28, from 11 a.m. to noon and a talk and demonstration on May 12 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The gallery is open Tuesdays to Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

ARMSTRONG’S WAR

By Colleen

Murphy

Powerful, moving, and surprisingly funny. Two very different Armstrongs. The spirited 12-year-old Pathfinder Halley, eager to earn her next badge by reading to Michael, a young soldier injured in Afghanistan. He responds with his own shocking story – one that throws Halley’s cherished beliefs about life & hope into question.

Kamloopa, the first play of next season, will make its debut in the fall DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

here’s a distinct Kamloops link to Western Canada Theatre’s next season.

First, the obvious — Kamloopa, a play by Kim Senlip Harvey, which was one of three chosen by WCT in 2016’s 40th anniversary commissions looking for new projects to help bring to life.

Harvey’s play focuses on two Indigenous sisters and a trickster who head out from Vancouver to go to the Kamloopa Pow Wow. It’s described as a raucous comedy about courage, identity and reclaiming your ancestry.

It kicks off the season at the Pavilion Theatre from Sept. 13 to Sept. 22.

The next Kamloops link comes from the inclusion of Mom’s the Word: Nest 1/2 Empty by the Mom’s the Word Collective — a group of women that includes Robin Nichol, who teaches theatre at Thompson Rivers University.

This third instalment in their mom-focused series of plays sees most of the kids living on their own, some with children — making moms grandmoms too. They share those family realities but also the fact they have their own aging parents.

It’s a mix of serious and funny and will be on the Sagebrush Theatre stage in about a year,

opening on March 28 and closing on April 10.

The third Kamloops link is a bit more tenuous — it’s the result of the overwhelming popularity a play from the past created in the city. Farren Timoteo is coming back for a short run in February with his Made in Italy, which opened the 2016 season at Pavilion Theatre. It’s the story of an Italian teenager growing up in Jasper in the 1970s looking for a way to make his own mark on the world. It’s described as a coming-of-age story “with the heart of Rocky Balboa and the moves — and hair — of John Travolta.”

Other plays at Sagebrush Theatre include: • Vimy by Vern Thiessen, Oct. 11 to Oct. 20: A group of convalescing Canadian soldiers, with the help of a young nurse from Nova Scotia, deal with the wounds inflicted on them during the battle of Vimy Ridge.

WCT brings it to life to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. • Elf: The Musical by Thomas Meehan, Bob Martin, Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin, Nov. 29 to Dec. 12: Many already know the story of Buddy the accidental elf from the movie.

For those who don’t, Buddy somehow ends up at the North Pole after finding himself in Santa’s gift bag. He eventually heads out to find his true identity and help the world remember

the real meaning of Christmas.

• Meet My Sister by Bonnie Green, Jan. 24 to Feb. 2: Two sisters with different lifestyles and points of view return to their childhood home to send their obnoxious mother to a retirement community. Add an old flame, some wine and the result is a comedy about sibling rivalry. It’s a world premiere for Green’s play.

• Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story by Alan Janes, Feb. 21 to March 2: This is the jukebox play for the season, one that includes all the hits from Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. It follows Holly from 1957, when he hit it big with That’ll Be The Day to his death two years later.

The season wraps up at Pavilion Theatre with Empire of the Sun by Tetsuro Shigematsu, a one-man show by the former CBC broadcaster about his rocky relationship with his reserved father. It opens April 25 and closes May 4.

For the young, Stage One Theatre School alumni Randi Edmundson will present Freddy in the Neighbourhood, a puppet show, from Oct. 15 to Oct. 18.

WCT will again host its annual Halloween Family Dance Party and continue its Wednesday night Students Club for high school and university students and its Yac with Mac pre-show chats with artistic director James MacDonald for children of all ages.

Cenac’s new comedy series aims to inform as well as entertain DAVID BAUDER

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Wyatt Cenac, the latest entrant in late-night television comedy with a series that debuts Friday on HBO, took inspiration from John Oliver in his desire to inform along with being entertaining.

Cenac’s Problem Areas is described as a comedy “docuseries,” and resembles Oliver’s Last Week Tonight in how each episode has a central story approached with journalistic rigour, and quicker comedic bits.

Oliver is an executive producer and the

show’s backstage is populated with people who worked with him and also at their shared alma mater, The Daily Show.

That’s where the similarities end.

Cenac’s more laidback style replaces Oliver’s hyperactivity.

Problem Areas has no studio audience and, in each episode, Cenac travels somewhere different in the country to explore aspects of the main story. His entire 10-episode season concentrates on different facets of one story, in this case policing and how it affects different communities.

The show will air Fridays at 11:30 p.m.

Oliver’s success “definitely gave me a lot of confidence that there could be an appetite for a show like mine,” Cenac said.

“I looked at his show for inspiration in that way.”

Podcasts like Serial also convinced Cenac that some people are interested in stories told in depth, spread over several episodes.

With its creative graphics and a cool vibe, Problem Areas establishes right away that viewers have landed in a different spot than other latenight comedy shows.

Cenac also makes that clear. He looks into the camera early in the opening episode and says that it’s probably the point at which he’s supposed to talk about Donald Trump and all the trouble everyone’s in. “But you already knew that,” he says.

“It was less about thinking about making something original and more about thinking about building something for my skill set, and what I feel my strengths as a performer and storyteller are,” he said.

Like many black men and women, Cenac has his own

uncomfortable experiences being pulled over by the police.

Besides looking into some well-known cases where police actions were questioned, the show also looks into how police officers are trained and interact with certain communities.

“I come in with the curiosity of a concerned citizen,” Cenac said. “I live in this country, too. It’s not enough for me to simply demand better on social media, or go to a march when there’s a march and have a sign,” he said. “The one thing that I have, that I’ve been given, is

a platform. And if I can use that platform to ask the questions that I’m generally asking in life, and I can find a way to do it that’s entertaining, I feel like it’s a win-win.”

Cenac felt more comfortable doing away with a studio audience, figuring its central value to a show is telling a television audience when to laugh.

“If I take that out of the equation, I can take the story directly to the viewer, and the audience can decide how to feel,” he said.

In working hard to complete the episodes for his first season,

Cenac said he hasn’t thought about how Problem Areas would continue in future seasons, whether it would again concentrate on one main story.

He conceded he hadn’t looked carefully enough in his contract for what it says about continuing past one season — perhaps falling prey to a pitfall that has afflicted performers for ages.

“That’s certainly something about the business,” he said.

“You’re hungry enough and you say, sure, and the next thing you know, you’re starring in Beverly Hills Cop 17.”

Weinstein accuser Argento: It’s ‘open season’ on survivors CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — One of the earliest Harvey Weinstein accusers says that despite the #MeToo reckoning, it’s “open season” on survivors who dare speak out about sexual misconduct.

Italian actress and filmmaker Asia Argento writes in an essay that she has been called a whore, liar, traitor, opportunist and more since accusing Weinstein last year of sexually assaulting her in 1997.

She says some of the worst criticism toward women speaking out has occurred in her home country, Italy, “but the poison seeps out” to other places as well.

Argento writes the essay in advance of her appearance this week at the Women in the World summit in New York. It’s posted on their website.

The actress accuses Weinstein of forcibly performing oral sex on her when she was 17.

Weinstein has denied allegations of non-consensual sex.

Even as a toddler, music was important to him, Knox said. He loved playing records so much his mother started to hide them. When he discovered The Beatles, he was enthralled with how they overdubbed their music and decided he could do the same thing with two tape recorders.

Knox, who is the opening act for The Beaches when they perform on April 23 at The Blue Grotto, said he thinks his love of music predates his birth — his mother studied it in university and played the piano throughout her pregnancy.

Netflix pulls out of Cannes Film Festival in growing dispute ANDREW DALTON

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, on Wednesday said the streaming giant is pulling its films from the Cannes Film Festival, further intensifying an ongoing dispute between Netflix and the world's most prestigious film festival.

Cannes earlier banned any films without theatrical distribution in France from its Palme d'Or competition. That essentially rules out Netflix movies, which are released either dayand-date — on Netflix and in some theatres — or simply go straight to Netflix. In France, it's a law that films can't be released on home entertainment platforms until 36 months after their theatrical release.

That still left Netflix the option of playing out of competition at Cannes. But in an interview with Variety published Wednesday, Sarandos said he doesn't want to send Netflix releases if they won't be treated equally with other movies.

"We want our films to be on fair ground with every other filmmaker," said Sarandos.

"There's a risk in us going in this way and having our films and filmmakers treated disrespectfully at the festival.

They've set the tone. I don't think it would be good for us to be there."

Representatives for Cannes didn't immediately comment Wednesday. In an earlier interview, Cannes director Thierry Fremaux said: "The Netflix people loved the red carpet and would like to be present with other films. But they understand that the intransigence of their own model is now the opposite of ours."

Last year, two Netflix films — Bong Joon-ho's Okja and Noah Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories — premiered in competition at Cannes, prompting outrage from French theatre owners and unions.

Last year's festival became a kind of referendum on Netflix's role in cinema. Advocates for the streaming service point to the creative freedom Netflix offers to filmmakers and its financial backing of a diverse and ambitious slate of films.

Critics say a platform destructive to theatrical moviegoing shouldn't be celebrated at the world's foremost celebration of cinema.

For Cannes, losing Netflix — and its growing roster of bigname filmmakers and stars — is a blow, depriving the French Rivera festival of some of the high-wattage glamour it seeks

for its red carpet. Hollywood studios have largely stopped making the kinds of movies presented in Cannes, though this year's festival will include the out-of-competition premiere of Disney's Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Among the Netflix films believed to be in consideration for this year's Cannes, which begins May 8, are: Alfonso Cuaron's Roma, Paul Greengrass' Norway, Jeremy Saulnier's Hold the Dark and Orson Welles' final unfinished film The Other Side of the Wind.

For Netflix, skipping Cannes means those or other releases won't get the worldwide promotion afforded by the festival, nor the much-sought honour of being a Cannes selection.

Lacking theatrical distribution or massive marketing expenditures, Netflix has depended heavily on film festivals as launch pads for its films.

Sarandos said it's time for Cannes to "modernize."

"It is not a coincidence that Thierry also banned selfies this year," Sarandos says, referring to Cannes' new prohibition of selfie-taking on the red carpet. "I don't know what other advances in media Thierry would like to address."

A spokeswoman for Netflix said the company had no further comment.

Tom Cochrane reworks Big League lyrics to honour Humboldt Broncos CANADIAN PRESS

Tom Cochrane reworked the lyrics of his song Big League on Tuesday night for a special performance honouring the Humboldt Broncos.

The Juno Award-winning singer and songwriter played an acoustic version in front of a green and yellow backdrop to begin TSN’s NHL playoff preview special.

The song, originally featured on his 1988 album Victory Day

with Red Rider, is written from the perspective of a father whose son was a hockey player with big dreams cut short by a truck driving in the wrong lane.

Many Canadians began associating the lyrics with the 16 people who were killed in a highway accident on Friday night when the Humboldt Broncos’ bus collided with a semi-trailer in northern Saskatchewan. Thirteen other people were injured.

Cochrane’s low-key televised performance was played as pho-

tos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League team were shown in a montage.

He updated the lyrics to incorporate a new verse that drew closer parallels to the Broncos story: “All the right moves when he turned 18. Ridin’ to the game and ridin’ with his team. Ridin’ with their friends and ridin’ for their dreams. Ridin’ off to immortality in the big league.”

Cochrane also changed another portion of the lyrics to place a stronger emphasis on the unpre-

dictability of life: “Never can tell what might come down. Never can tell when you might check out. You just don’t know, no you never can tell.”

While TSN’s owner Bell Media hasn’t released an audio version of Cochrane’s acoustic performance, the original studio recording of Big League has risen on the iTunes charts. It was sitting at No. 21 late Wednesday afternoon.

Other Canadian musicians have turned to their own songs to create tributes to the team.

Is Your Home Carbon-Monoxide Safe?

Here are some carbon monoxide safety tips from Technical Safety BC Is your home carbon-monoxide safe? Most homes have smoke detectors, but do you have a detector for carbon monoxide? If the answer isn’t yes, now is the time to make your home carbon-monoxide safe.

Last spring, carbon monoxide exposure took the lives of a family in Ashcroft, BC. The cause was an incorrectly installed on-demand tankless water heater in the living area of the home that was venting carbon monoxide indoors. The installation of the water heater was unpermitted, unlicensed and unsafe.

“Safety is our objective, and one of our main activities to prevent unsafe conditions is to actively promote and create more awareness of carbon monoxide safety,” says Janice Lee, Director of Safety Oversight at Technical Safety BC. “Many homeowners are not aware that a home could have many carbon monoxide risks from gas-powered appliances. This includes household equipment like furnaces, hot water tanks, gas stoves and fireplaces that can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if not properly maintained or installed.”

Each year in BC numerous carbon monoxide incidents are reported to the authorities. Technical Safety BC investigates approximately ten CO incidents that take place in areas within their jurisdiction each year. According to their findings, most incidents occur in residences and involve residential furnaces, boilers or water heaters.

“There is a temptation for homeowners to save on costs by either installing home equipment and

appliances themselves or using someone who is not licensed. But they need to realize that the risks really do outweigh the cost,” emphasizes Lee. “Homeowners need to be aware of carbon monoxide risks around the home and should use licensed contractors with the appropriate permits when maintaining or installing equipment,” says Lee. “We have a social responsibility to communicate and educate the public to help reduce safety risks when it comes to technical systems and equipment.

We really want to make a difference by turning our incident investigations into positive change and have an open dialogue about safety,” Lee states.

Technical Safety BC, formerly BC Safety Authority, is an independent, self-funded organization mandated to oversee the safe installation and operation of technical systems and equipment. In addition to issuing permits, licences and certificates, it works with industry to reduce safety risks through assessment, education and outreach, enforcement and research. www.technicalsafetybc.ca

Country singer Paul Brant performed his 2001 song Small Towns and Big Dreams Monday on CBC’s Q after recently rewriting the lyrics to incorporate a hockey theme at the request of Ron MacLean, who planned to use it on a segment of Hometown Hockey.

Kingston, Ont. musician Jay Smith has racked up more than 1 million views on a Facebook video he posted performing Leave a Stick by the Door, an original song written in tribute to the hockey players.

Here are some prevention and safety tips for consumers to avoid exposure to carbon monoxide.

Carbon Monoxide Safety Tips Carbon monoxide cannot be seen or smelled, which is why it is known as the “silent killer,” and can overcome its victims undetected. Breathing low levels of carbon monoxide over a long period of time can also cause severe heart problems and brain damage.

How to prevent CO poisoning: • Install Canadian-approved CO alarms on every floor of your home, especially near sleeping areas.

• Schedule regular inspections of gas appliances (e.g., furnaces, fireplaces, gas stoves, hot water heaters, boilers, etc.) by a licensed gas contractor (find a listing on Technical Safety BC’s website).

• Keep the area around your furnace clear for proper air circulation.

• Keep all air ducts, vents and screens free of obstructions.

• Never operate portable fuel-burning devices such as camp stoves, lanterns, generators, lawn equipment or barbecues indoors or in closed spaces.

• Don’t leave a vehicle engine running inside an enclosed garage or space.

• Do not close a fireplace or stove damper before the fire is completely out.

• Do not use gas-powered generators, lawn equipment or engines in enclosed areas.

Know the warning signs of CO gas at home: • CO alarm sounds • Loose, disconnected, water-streaked or rusty chimney vents • Soot build-up or discolouration on fireplaces • Discolouration of fuel-burning appliances or heating system warm air vents • Window condensation • Sick or dying pets or plants If you suspect CO exposure: • Get outside immediately.

• Once safely outdoors, call 9-1-1 for help.

• Seek immediate medical attention. CO poisoning can be fatal if left untreated. A doctor can order a blood test to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in your blood. If it is high, you may require oxygen therapy to reduce CO levels—either through a mask or via a hyperbaric chamber.

Know the symptoms of CO gas poisoning: • MILD symptoms can be mistaken for the flu or food poisoning. They include headache, nausea and dizziness.

• STRONG symptoms include breathlessness, confusion or hallucinations.

• SEVERE symptoms are life threatening and can include collapse, convulsions or unconsciousness.

arts&entertainment Billions star Damian Lewis to play Rob Ford but director says it's not a biopic ily, and he cared very deeply about the city he was the mayor of.

And this was a guy with demons,” Tollman said.

“I wanted to show a side of him that people forget about.”

In terms of tone, he described the film as “a drama with moments of comedy and levity in it.”

“I wouldn’t classify it as a comedy, it’s not Knocked Up or The 40-Year-Old Virgin. I think it uses comedy in the same way that something like The Big Short uses comedy, to tell a story about people at a place in time that people remember.”

Tollman said he was thrilled to recruit Lewis to portray Ford, calling him “one of the most talented actors working today.”

“I thought that this is a guy that can play the moments of darkness and depth but can also play the lighter moments. Rob was a guy that was elected because people wanted to grab a beer with the guy, you know?” said Tollman.

“He took to the idea that this wasn’t a onedimensional version of this character.”

The film, which just began production and has no estimated release date, also features a number of Canadian actors including Nina Dobrev, Mena Massoud and Scott Speedman.

Tollman said he was taken aback by the early response to the film based on assumptions that it would be a true-to-life story about the reporters who covered Ford.

MICHAEL OLIVEIRA

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Billions and Homeland star Damian Lewis will portray the late Toronto mayor Rob Ford in a film called Run This Town, but writer-director Ricky Tollman says it’s not a biopic.

Ford is actually a fairly minor character in the story of a young wannabe journalist and other millennials who struggle to make a living in a post-recession economy, Tollman said Tuesday in a telephone interview from the film’s Toronto set.

Tony Award-winning Dear Evan Hansen star Ben Platt is cast as a bumbling newsroom intern who wants to break the story on the Ford crack-smoking scandal — but is several steps behind other reporters.

“This isn’t the Rob Ford story, this is a story about people that I know and people I grew up with and a generation of people,” said the 32-year-old first-time director, who noted the Ford character is only “in a few key scenes and a few key moments.”

He added that he wanted to create “a sympathetic portrait” of Ford and his tumultuous time in office before he died in 2016.

“I didn’t want to portray Rob in a way that people already imagined him, or in ways he’s already been portrayed in the media....

I think Rob isn’t just a caricature, he’s a person and he’s a human, he had two children and a wife and a fam-

Globe and Mail reporter Robyn Doolittle, who covered the Ford saga for the Toronto Star and wrote the book Crazy Town: The Rob Ford Story, tweeted “I’m glad they’re rewriting the fact that it was a female reporter who investigated Rob Ford.

Why have a woman be a lead character when a man could do it?

Ammaright?”

In a subsequent tweet mentioning Platt, she said she did not begrudge him for his role in the film but was upset “just about the move in general: obviously I’m biased, but man, I’ve seen a lot of stories by male reporters celebrated in movies.”

Hours later, after some media outlets posted stories suggesting Run This Town would depict Doolittle’s story but with a male

actor, Platt responded on Twitter saying “the film does not attempt to co-opt her narrative.”

“That in and of itself is an incredibly worthy and fascinating story but it’s not the one we are telling, nor would I ever agree to be a part of a film that would attribute the accomplishments of a remarkable woman to a fictional man,” Platt wrote.

Tollman added that Platt’s character isn’t based on anyone at “the Toronto Star, or the Globe and Mail, or Gawker, the people who were really on the case, this isn’t their story.”

“It was a surprise to me (that) people took three words out of the description of the film and spun it into something that it’s not, without having read the script,” he said.

TORONTO — Martin Scorsese and SCTV aren’t obvious bedfellows, but the grizzled New Yorker was so fascinated with the Canadian sketch comedy show that he wanted to make a documentary about its history, says one of its creators.

“He’s been an incredible fan since the early days,” said producer Andrew Alexander, who’s in the early stages of creating an unnamed film with Scorsese and Netflix that dives into the legendary TV show.

“He thinks there’s a cultural component to all of this — the influence this show’s had on so many comedic artists of today... This is something that came out

of Canada, that had a huge influence on North American comedy.”

SCTV, or Second City Television, ran from 1976 to 1984 and helped launch the careers of many famed international comic legends, including the late John Candy and Harold Ramis.

Netflix revealed Thursday that it’s bringing together SCTV cast members Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Short and Dave Thomas in front of a live Toronto audience next month.

The conversation will be moderated by Jimmy Kimmel.

Rick Moranis was also among the troupe, though he isn’t expected to appear at the reunion, which tapes at Toronto’s

taries, including The Last Waltz, the final concert of rock group The Band, and Bob Dylan’s No Direction Home.

“We had a meeting in New York over the weekend and he talked a lot about how The King of Comedy was influenced

by SCTV, Alexander said, pointing to Scorsese’s 1982 film starring Robert De Niro and Jerry Lewis.

Plans have Scorsese regrouping with Alexander this summer to consider other elements of the documentary, which could include new sketches.

“A lot will come out of what we’re talking about at the live event,” he said.

“Maybe a film parody or two — something that’s sort of in (Scorsese’s) wheelhouse.”

The Goodfellas director plans to take that footage he captures, pull out the best stuff, and incorporate it into a documentary that will debut on the streaming service at a later date.

Exactly how the final product will look isn’t certain yet.

“Martin Scorsese has a very specific kind of process with how he works — he starts to find the film as he goes along,” Alexander said.

“It’s shooting in segments and you sort of discover exactly what the film is going to be... It’s pulling together a lot of elements as he works.”

While Scorsese is best known for films like Taxi Driver and Casino, he’s also directed a number of acclaimed documen-

Finding many routes to travel in scenic Nova Scotia JANE CASSIE travelwriterstales.com

A

lthough there are more direct driving routes from Halifax to Antigonish, if you have more travel time, take a detour onto Highway 7 and enjoy this prettier route along the east coast.

The ribbon of asphalt hugs up to the rugged Atlantic, curves around tranquil bays and links together quaint fishing villages that dot the way.

Some, like Pleasant, Pope and Ships have Harbour as their last name.

For others it’s Cove, Murphy, Clam and Harrigan, to name a few. Some are just downright funky. Quiddy, Mushaboom, Ecum Secum — although it’s uncertain who they’re named after. Like all the other seaside settlements along this route, they’re a reminder of the riches that thrive in the waters beyond.

Buoys bobble above lobster traps, markers outline oyster beds, clam beds sprawl out on tidal flats. Many of these delectable edibles end up on the supper table.

Although diners are in short supply along this route, Sheet and Musquodobolt harbours are two of the busier townships where you can sample the daily catch.

Or you may want to pack along a picnic and stop at one of the dozen-or-so provincial parks that dot this route; the sandy strip at Martinique Beach, the sliver-thin peninsula touting Taylor Head or Sherbrooke that overlooks the lazy St. Mary’s River.

I recommend Henley House Pub and Restaurant — Haddock cakes, battered clams, mussels in wine sauce are just a few favourites — along with lots of

JANE CASSIE PHOTO Arriving at Peggy’s Cove, you’ll have a profound sense that you are sharing in one of Canada’s treasured national experiences.

Travelling across this Maritime province, where natural beauty blends seemlessly with intriguing culture, you’ll wish you had more time to explore the rich history.

great pub grub.

In spite of being just an hour from bustling Halifax, it feels like time stands still when moseying along this section of the famous Lighthouse Route.

This route explores the south shore, with the UNESCO World Heritage site of Lunenburg is a good place to start.

Browse the hilly streets boasting crayon-coloured homes, cruise on the replicated Bluenose, Nova Scotia’s sailing ambassador, or soak in some history at Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic.

Historic homes, quaint shops and manicured parks hug up along Main Street of Mahone

Bay, the next precious seaside gem.

You can find everything from quality antiques to local artworks and don’t forget to photograph the three proud churches poised along the waterfront.

Continue on Route 3 as it parallels the shore then cruise through Chester.

Founded in 1759, this town is now known for its kayaking, yacht races and Tancook Ferry ride. Boutiques, craft shops and 18 holes of golf greenery also gobbles up your leisure time.

Last, but certainly not least on this scenic stretch, is Peggy’s Cove, the famous lighthouse that made her way into many

TV shows.

People come in droves to see this iconic beacon, so best to arrive later in the day when the tour buses have gone home. The light is also prettier for all those photos you’ll end up taking.

I recommend the Seaside Shanty — a quintessential eatery hugs up to Chester Basin and dishes up awesome seafood chowder accompanied by a bay view.

The 300-kilometre Cabot Trail route that loops around Cape Breton is touted to be one of Canada’s finest road trips.

While embracing the area’s Scottish heritage, it showcases some of the East Coast’s spec-

tacular vistas and landscapes.

Cape Breton Highland National Park stakes claim to about a third of the Cabot Trail (950 square kilometres).

Just beyond the visitor centre is where the real highlights begin.

The first must-see is Ingonish, a seaside hamlet boasting an expansive beachfront, Highland Links golf course and the Keltic Lodge, a hilltop haven offering everything from chichi accommodation to spa treatments.

A total of 26 hiking trails weave around this wonderland and the park map pinpoints the trailheads, providing a brief synopsis of each one.

A few lead to tranquil lakes, others to cascading waterfalls and many to panoramic viewpoints.

From Neil’s Harbour, you’ll head inland where a number of outlooks are etched into the route and after traversing the pristine parkland you’ll be gazing out at the massive Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Pleasant Bay village, settled

by Scottish immigrants in the early 1800s, is appropriately coined the island’s whale watching capital.

A short distance beyond is the fishing village of Cheticamp, and then Margaree, where the oldest hatchery in the province exists.

My recommended coffee stop is Danena’s, where you’ll also want to fuel up on freshout-of-the-oven pastries. Yum. There you have it — three amazing drives in a province where natural beauty blends seamlessly with intriguing culture, Canada’s heritage and east coast hospitality.

resurrection after Easter.

The New Testament continues with the postresurrection appearances of Jesus: “Him God raised up, and gave Him to be made manifest, not to all the people but unto witnesses, chosen before of God, even to us who did eat and drink with Him after He rose from the dead” (Acts 10:40,41).

We remember the separate appearances recorded — first to Mary Magdalene, at Emmaus, to the disciples when the doors were shut, fourthly, to the disciples with Thomas, then on the beach in grey dawn; to 500 brethren on the mountains of Galilee.

Lastly, the risen Christ went out with them to Bethany, to his ascension.

One main purpose of Christ’s appearances was that of training the disciples to understand the mystery of his risen life, to believe and

realize his future and abiding supernatural presence with them.

These were not intended to overawe and convince skeptics. It was meant to assure, comfort, discipline and teach the men on whom the whole future of his church’s great work would depend.

A mere coarse physical miracle the crowd could understand, but not the miracle of his new life. What is revealed to us is not the continuance of a mode of existence with which we are already acquainted, but the indication of a new mode of existence which we look for after death.

We notice that these appearances fall into two groups — (1) those of the Easter day itself and (2) those of the following 40 days.

The first was easy enough, we understand that. The second was by no means so.

The wild delight

of that Easter day seemed to have no room for any further thought than this: “The Lord is risen.”

The old Friend and Master is back with them.

But the disciples did not stop to think whether it was a simple coming to life under the old conditions like Lazarus.

They did not know that it was a new, mysterious, supernatural, glorified life to which the Lord had risen.

But they had to be taught this, else they never could grip the great thought of his constant and continued presence all the days to come — not with them only but with the whole church of the future.

Though they probably did not see it at once, yet we can see that in all his appearances he was teaching them step-bystep of that new life as they could bear it.

It was to Mary Magdalene that the very first lesson

ples’ lesson. Not only the great message to the Church: “I am He that lives and was dead and behold I am alive for evermore … Lo, I am with you always even to the end of the world.”

We, in this age of reason, are generally told that these are foolish speculations, that in the great dim realm of the life hereafter all is and must remain obscure forever. No, it is not so.

It is true that we cannot know much in this body. We have still to sit silent and awestruck as we see our dear ones go away into the great unknown life.

But it is not all unknown. The stillempty tomb tells of One who was dead like our dead ones.

Yet, when he came back to speak to his friends on Earth, he was as human and as much their own as ever.

Is it not delightful to know of Jesus in the new, glorified resurrection life?

Does it not lead us to hope and believe the same of our departed dear ones whose hands we have folded reverently beneath the winding sheet? ryanmitra225@gmail. com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

began. She found again the friend that she had lost, but she found no more.

She had no loftier title than the old one, “My Master, My Teacher.” His resurrection was only the return to old life.

In his reply, he corrected, disciplined and raised her thought.

“Don’t touch me … don’t cling to me …”

Things have changed.

So it was with the men at Emmaus, with the assembled disciples when the doors were shut.

He went on to speak to Thomas words that show that he was present and listening, unknown to them all, when Thomas expressed his doubt of the resurrection.

As the 40 days went by, the awe and wonder deepened.

They saw Jesus was no longer subject to human needs nor bound by natural laws of the earth.

The risen Christ needed neither shelter nor rest. Forty days he lingered in the world, but in no earthly home.

We now hear of the disciples worshipping him, of their recognizing him as their Lord and their God. And yet, in spite of all the differences, he was the same Jesus.

He was felt to be different and yet the same. The same heart beat in his breast. He stoops to the feeble faith of the disciples with equal gentleness.

Think LOCAL Suport LOCAL How shopping in Kamloops can help you and your community T

oday’s consumers have more shopping options at their disposal than they did in years past. Though the Internet may put the world at one’s fingertips, more and more shoppers are discovering that buying locally makes for a superior shopping experience.

The benefits associated with shopping locally are many and the following are just a few reasons why shoppers may want to look no further than Kamloops when planning their next shopping excursions.

WHEN YOU LOOK GOOD, YOU FEEL GREAT.

Keeps money in the local economy:

Locally owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighbourhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you also have a hand in supporting these efforts.

Help establish local pride:

Independent shops contribute to the fabric of a community and what makes it special and unique. Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighbourhood — the Tranquille Market being a prime example. When travellers want to get a feel for a community, they seek out small, local stores that are much more likely to stock a high percentage of locally-sourced goods.

GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE

Save money:

When factoring in travel time and the cost of fuel, shopping locally makes more sense.

In addition, repeat customers who establish a rapport with a local business owner may find that such owners are more inclined to price match or work with loyal customers to find lower prices through suppliers.

Attract other businesses:

Private and public sector businesses tend to gravitate around anchor stores.

Should a local store be successful, banks, restaurants, salons and other businesses may move in as well.

Shopping locally benefits consumers in various ways, many of which contribute to a healthy local economy.

Diversify your home and lifestyle:

Shoppers who prefer more unique styles may find local businesses cater to their needs better than large chain stores.

Larger retailers offer the same products to customers regardless of where those customers live, so a person in Kelowna may be decorating his or her home with the same furnishings as a person in Prince George. But local shops, such as those found in Kamloops, tend to produce more unique items that are not available nationwide.

Promote entrepreneurship:

Small businesses are an essential element to the country’s economic growth.

By shopping locally, consumers are showing their support for this important segment of the national economy.

wning a business is the goal of many would-be entrepreneurs. Being your own boss has certain perks, including making your own hours and not having to report to anyone but yourself.

However, owning a business is a lot of work, especially for new business owners trying to get their businesses off the ground, be it in Westsyde, Valleyview, the North Shore or downtown.

With fragile profit margins and competition from large chains, local businesses in Kamloops and other communities face an uphill battle to survive, but there are many things residents can do to support these valuable additions to their communities:

In addition, in a review of 60 studies on child engagement, Child Trends found that children who participate in civic engagement programs are likely to be more involved in school, to graduate from high school and to hold more positive civic attitudes than those who do not get involved in such programs.

Getting kids to volunteer as they progress through adolescence may not be so difficult.

In its 2014 analysis of volunteering trends, Child Trends found that 39 per cent of Grade 12 students volunteered at least once a month, compared to just 27 per cent of eighth graders.

Older students

might feel compelled to volunteer to improve their university admissions applications, but parents can take steps to get their younger children excited at the prospect of volunteering: • Set a positive example: Young children want to emulate their parents, so moms and dads who volunteer may find ready and willing partners in their children.

Parents can inform their children when they volunteer and why they do so before bringing kids along to join them.

• Don’t forget fun: Young children may be more likely to embrace volunteering if the activity is fun.

Kids might not find it too fun to sit next to their parents while mom and dad balance a soup kitchen’s books, but a beach cleanup excursion or a trip to refurbish an inner city park may inspire kids to spend a lifetime giving back to their communities and helping the less fortunate.

• Keep it simple: Kids may not enjoy

Thank You.

volunteering activities that consume too much time or make them feel exhausted.

As kids grow older, parents can encourage them to embrace more challenging activities and/or commit more time to volunteering.

But keep things simple with especially young children or older children who have never before volunteered.

• Try and try again: It might take some trial and error before parents find volunteering opportunities their chil-

dren truly enjoy.

When volunteering with children for the first time, be careful not to commit to more than one day.

If children enjoy themselves, then parents can commit more time.

If kids do not seem excited by an activity, parents won’t feel guilty or let the charity down by not returning.

Children can benefit greatly by volunteering and parents can get their youngsters involved at an early age.

Please join City Council to celebrate the volunteers who build, maintain, and grow healthy communities.

Volunteer Kamloops values all volunteers in our community.
