UBCM CONVENTION • SEPT. 10-SEPT. 14 • WHISTLER

City’s mining resolution to be debated JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Municipalities in B.C. will decide next week whether to lobby the province for a say on mining projects within 10 kilometres of city boundaries.

The resolution, which will be debated at the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual convention in Whistler from Sept. 10 to Sept.

14, is from Kamloops council and was created after the proposed Ajax mine south of Aberdeen was rejected by the provincial government.

“Essentially, all I want is for us to have a say when a large development like that decides to come in,” Coun. Dieter Dudy told KTW. Dudy said the resolution doesn’t mean the city is closed for business, but illustrates that it wants to have more control over matters impacting the community.

Dudy said the community had concerns about health impacts and he believes municipalities need more control.

That would require amending the Mines Act and other legislation. Dudy will be attending UBCM next week, along with Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian and fellow councillors Ray Dhaliwal and Arjun Singh.

Singh has been involved with UBCM on a deeper level for the past five years, as a board member and, more recently, as vice-president.

He is expected to become the next president this year — an opportunity he said will allow him to meet people and gain a better understanding of provincial-municipal issues, such as cannabis sales, policing and the environment.

“Ultimately, as a byproduct of the service I’m doing provincially, there’s going to be some ability for me to be a better city councillor,” Singh said.

This year, local communities submitted

205 resolutions, 25 per cent more than were debated last year.

Some other areas of concern include cannabis tax-revenue sharing, the employer health tax and the speculation tax.

Christian said a number of meetings are lined up, including with Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Judy Darcy, BC Hydro, Emergency Management BC and RCMP E-Division.

Among discussion points, the mayor wants to talk about the opioid crisis and wildfires.

He will be preparing a more specific briefing by the end of the week before travelling to Whistler.

Nearly 2,000 delegates are expected at the convention, which will also include addresses

by Premier John Horgan, B.C. Green Leader Andrew Weaver, B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson and venture capitalist Arlene Dickinson, best known for her stint on the Dragons’ Den TV show.

TRANSIT COMES TO TK’EMLUPS JESSICA WALLACE

LOOK FOR OUR GREAT DEALS ON PAGE A10-A11

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

hose who live and work in Tk’emlups te Secwepemc are hailing a new public transit route linking the First Nations reserve to the city.

“This is my wish for a long time,” Yaya Hamadou told KTW. The Mount Paul route — No. 18 — officially launched on Tuesday.

Leaving the Lansdowne transit exchange downtown, it travels hourly via Yellowhead Highway (Highway 5 North) to the golf course resort community of Sun Rivers, which is part of Tk’emlups.

The bus stops near the Sun Rivers entrance before dodging stray golf balls and mountain sheep as it heads toward Sun Rivers Drive and Talasa Way. Sandy Rankel has lived in Sun Rivers for 12 years. Though she now walks and drives for transportation, Rankel said she may use the new bus service in the future, calling it a “necessity” as the population ages.

She said the service will also be attractive to homeowners renting out accommodations to Thompson Rivers University students.

“It’s a great thing we finally got it,” Rankel said.

From Sun Rivers, the bus loops back onto the highway, noticeably missing the G and M Mobile Home Park across the road.

When KTW visited on Tuesday, students were leaning up against a power pole, awaiting their school bus. High school student Robert James said he has walked downtown in the past without public transit in his neighbourhood.

Now, he will walk across the highway to hop aboard the Mt. Paul route, though he said it would be easier with a bus stop closer to home.

G&M Mobile Home Park comanager Jim Leonard said tenants have also been discussing the location. The mobile home park has 174 units and the outermost residents live about a kilometre from the closest bus stop.

“The service itself is helpful,” Leonard said. “It would be nicer if it was closer.”

Tk’emlups planning manager John ter Borg said the Mt. Paul route was selected with BC Transit

DO I NEED A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER? Fortunately, most people who are personally injured do make a full recovery.

However, when physical and emotional pain does not go away, it’s critical to know your legal options. based on density and anticipated usage. The goal was to cover the greatest area while returning back downtown within one hour.

The mobile home park was excluded due to its smaller population compared to the rest of the community.

“There are limitations and it [the bus] can’t go everywhere,” ter Borg said.

Tk’emlups is funding half of the route, ter Borg said, which is $180,000 per year. Budget constraints are also why the bus will run only on weekdays, during the day.

Travelling back along the Yellowhead, the bus turns onto Mount Paul Way, where a new stop can be found in front of Dee’s Country Corner Cafe. Servers at the breakfast eatery have been calling cabs for customers as long as Dee McGregor can remember in her 15 years of owning the business.

“It’s a great thing,” she said of the new service, between flipping eggs and turning sausages.

Those at neighbouring Mt. Paul Barbers agree.

Hairdressers at that shop said the bus route will add convenience to clients, with some travelling from as far as Thompson Rivers University and Brocklehurst.

“I’m really surprised it’s taken this long,” barber Peggy Siemens said.

Why, exactly, has it taken so long?

Again, it all comes down to money, ter Borg said, noting BC

Transit’s will to add new routes, along with a partnership with the City of Kamloops, is “helpful and appreciative.

“It hasn’t been because people haven’t been trying or wanting it to happen,” he said.

Down the road, KTW caught up with Yaya Hamadou walking along Mount Paul Way. Commuting from work, he didn’t know the Mt. Paul bus route had started and watched in dismay as the No. 18 drove past while he was speaking with KTW. Hamadou has been working at Weir Minerals on Dene Drive for three years. It takes him two hours each day to get between work and his home in Batchelor Heights.

He will shave time off that commute — eliminating a 45-minute walk each way between the Lansdowne transit exchange and his office. He doesn’t have a car and recalled cold walks during winter days and navigating the Red Bridge while sharing the pedestrian lane with bikers.

“It’s very good news,” Hamadou said.

A Tk’emlups transit ambassador will ride the route during the first two months of operation, collecting ridership data and evaluating the service. Ter Borg said route details may be adjusted later, depending on usage and feedback.

Tk’emlups is home to more than 3,000 residents, including Sun Rivers, which has about 800 homes.

EXPERT BERWICK ON THE PARK

ADVICE & INFORMATION

My mom needs more care than what is offered in an independent or assisted living setting.

We need to research care options but don’t know where to begin. Can you make some suggestions?

Be realistic about your mom’s needs as well as her anticipated needs. Ask her doctor for what he/she believes her care needs to be. Begin your research based on this information.

Your health authority generally has lists of care communities. Senior’s information centres are also a good resource.

Visit all of the communities on your list.

Ask a lot of questions.

Your health authority may have information they can share with you regarding the background of these communities. You don’t want to mistakenly choose a community with a history of substandard care.

Don’t make the mistake of choosing a community that matches your tastes. Have your mom involved in the decision if possible. Speak privately with residents and staff about their level of satisfaction. Happy staff are caring staff and a community full of engaged residents is always a good sign. Complete a comprehensive comparison and trust your instincts.

It is wise to gather multiple perspectives on your options. Get feedback from as many people as possible: friends who have gone through the process and your mom’s doctor.

Before committing to a permanent move, you might want to consider arranging a temporary respite stay.

No charges for holding police at bay MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Charges will not be pursued against a 25-year-old man arrested following a lengthy standoff on Royal Avenue on the North Shore.

The Kamloops man, who is known to police, was taken into custody just after 11 p.m. on Aug. 22. Police responded to 414 Royal Ave. with members of the emergency response team about five hours earlier to investigate a report that a person was being confined in the house.

RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW a police investigation didn’t lead to charges, but wouldn’t elaborate as to why.

That night, officers managed to call out several people from the home — including the person allegedly being held against their will

— but the suspect remained inside and refused to leave.

Police, however, are still searching for one of three suspects wanted in connection to a stabbing at the house the night before the standoff, which sent a 27-year-old man to hospital.

The suspect, 32-year-old Jeremy David Bellows, is wanted for aggravated assault, break and enter to commit an indictable offence, use of imitation firearm during an offence and forcible confinement.

Among those ordered out of the home on the night of the standoff was 32-year-old Ricky William Denis of Kamloops, one of the three men suspected of being involved the stabbing.

Police arrested him at the scene and took another suspect, Shane Bradley Cameron, 38, into custody a few days later.

Angel to be sentenced Gardian Angel, a middle-aged Kamloops man found guilty of sexually touching a teenage boy under the age of 16, will be sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court next Wednesday.

The teenager, who cannot be named under a court-ordered publication ban, met Angel in July 2016 on Grindr, an app used by gay, bisexual and trans people wanting to hook up.

The teen was 14 at the time, while Angel was 53.

Angel, who was convicted in May, denied engaging in sexual inter-

course with the teen, but Justice Len Marchand said he was satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that such activity took place.

Marchand said the teen’s testimony overall was cogent, logical and consistent, while Angel’s testimony had holes in it.

While the Crown did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Angel didn’t subjectively believe the teen was 16 — the age of sexual consent — Marchand said Angel did not take all reasonable steps to ascertain his age.

Denis and Cameron remain in police custody and face charges that include aggravated assault and break and enter to commit an indictable offence.

Staff Sgt. Simon Pillay has said the two incidents are related to the drug trade, noting the stabbing attack on Aug. 21 was vicious.

The home is well known to police for drugrelated activity as it was the focus of a raid in January that led to the seizure of drugs, weapons and stolen goods, including a 1986 Corvette.

The city is now looking into the property under its good neighbour bylaw, which is meant to address nuisance properties.

The bylaw gives the city the ability to charge fees to property owners if they do not work to resolve complaints.

Have you seen Shane Mullholland?

The RCMP is looking for a wanted man who may be in the Kamloops or North Okanagan areas.

Shane Mark Mulholland, 42, is wanted for failure to comply with a probation order and is considered violent. He is white, stands 5-foot-10 and weighs 220 pounds.

He has brown hair and black eyes.

Anybody with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

While legislation precludes the province from paying city fees associated with opening cannabis stores, it will do so to even the playing field with budding entrepreneurs.

“The LDB will pay any fees related to BC Cannabis stores, including fees for business licences and applications required by the city,” Viviana Zanocco told KTW in an email statement.

City of Kamloops business licence inspector Dave Jones said legislation mirrors that related to liquor stores.

“They’ve always paid the business licence fees, but in reality they don’t need to,” Jones said.

“But they do, just to be fair.”

The city recently set its cannabis business licence fee at $5,000, significantly higher than its liquor store equivalent of $196.

Kamloops This Week is a politically independent newspaper, published Wednesdays and Fridays at 1365-B Dalhousie Dr., Kamloops, B.C., V2C 5P6 Phone: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 email: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

THE NOMINATION PERIOD BEGINS

A

s of Thursday afternoon, there had been one person file nomination papers for mayor, four people submit the same for city council and another person drop off their papers in a bid for seat on the board of education.

And each of the three regional district areas bordering Kamloops have seen the incumbent directors file nomination papers.

Those numbers will grow rapidly in the next week as the battle for various seats in the Oct. 20 civic election gets underway.

That there are already that many people seeking office is encouraging, considering the nomination period began only this past Tuesday.

If you are dreaming of becoming mayor, city councillor, school trustee or regional district representative, you have a week to file your nomination papers.

Once 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14, arrives, the nomination period will close and the final roster of candidates will be set.

It is interesting that municipal election bring out the largest number of candidates, yet also lure the least number of voters.

In last year’s Kamloops byelection, there were six people running for the one mayor’s position and 21 candidates seeking one of two open council seats.

With all seats up for grabs in next month’s general civic election, expect the number of candidates eyeing city hall, the school board and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District halls to number in excess of 40.

That’s a lot of names and platforms to consider.

However, since civic politics is the one level that impacts you the most, do yourself a favour and vote. And to vote, get informed.

Pages A15 to A18 of today’s paper feature candidate profiles. The Civic Election tab of our website, kamloopsthisweek.com, has a wealth of information. A number of forums are on the horizon.

There is plenty of time to bone up local politics before we cast our ballots in 43 days. Use it to make an informed choice.

Focusing on this once every four years is the least we can all do.

Teachers leave marks

W

hat better way to mark the start of the school year than with a tribute to those who captain the education ship — the teachers charged with moulding young minds.

Five years ago (and it seems like last year), I penned a column in which I paid tribute to some teachers who left indelible marks — figuratively and literally — on me.

There was Mr. G., who wielded the chalk brush that flew through the air and sliced open the left eyebrow of a young me, who simply would not stop goofing around despite receiving more warnings than a petulant player at Wimbledon.

This occurred in the old days and, truth be told, I probably had some kind of hyperactive attentiondeficit disorder. Back then, the diagnosis was I was a brat. And I was.

A chalk brush, as those of a certain age will remember, has a soft side and a hard side, the latter of which bounced off my eyebrow, leading to copious amounts of blood and some shrieking from the girl next to me, whose powder-blue Hillroy duotang was spattered with crimson Christopher.

The teacher’s intent was not to maim me, but he did have better aim than he realized.

That moment remains one of my most cherished from school for the simple reasons that Mr. G. was one of the best teachers a kid could hope to have (when he wasn’t flinging school property across the classroom) and even the annoying 11-year-old me knew, at the time, that I deserved

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS that chalk-brush wound.

There are teachers in the Kamloops-Thompson school district doing wonderful, innovative things this year and we hope to write about many of them.

There were teachers back in my youth also doing wonderful, innovative things — but my memory is seared with flying objects and other less-than-academic experiences.

There was Mr. R., my Grade 9 home-room teacher and the go-to groovy artsy junior high instructor. He was a published poet, wore turtlenecks and sandals and taught cool courses like photography (complete with a darkroom) and calligraphy.

During home room, he would wait until all students were seated and listening to the announcements. Then, at the same time each morning, Mr. R. would stand up, grab a little stool, hop up and disconnect the wiring to the brown rectangle speaker above the door.

He would do this every morning during the brief period of silence between the announcement and the Lord’s Prayer, which was then recited daily.

He didn’t like the religious mantra and pointed to the hall if any student wished to hear the prayer.

After school, he could often be found in the classroom, feet up on the desk, next to a freshly lit cigarette balanced on an ashtray, holding court with the artsy kids among us.

There was Mr. R., my Grade 12 history teacher, whose love of the subject was infectious.

On Jan. 28, 1986, a cool, foggy Tuesday, I walked to school and into Mr. R.’s class at about 8:45 a.m., about five minutes after the Challenger space shuttle exploded on live TV, killing seven crew members — including a teacher, Christa McAuliffe.

Mr. R. shelved that day’s history lesson, sat on the edge of his desk, one foot on the floor and the other swaying inches above the linoleum, and talked with us for an hour about the tragedy that just unfolded in front of the world.

It was a powerful class, more memorable than any other during my final year in high school. That day entered my mind on another Tuesday morning 15 years later that yielded another, far greater tragedy — the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. I was a reporter then, but I thought of how teachers would be talking to their students about such a monumental event.

As Robert Frost once said: “There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can’t move and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.”

May the latter lead your kids this year. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A WHOLE NEW APPROACH IS NEEDED

KTW’s Dale Bass will retire after her Sept. 14 shift.

Editor: I couldn’t agree more with Trevor Caswell’s recent letter (‘Harm can take many forms in Kamloops,’ Aug. 31) about the harm caused to our city by the present drug strategies of ASK Wellness and Interior Health.

In fact, violence, vandalism and siphoning off police and medical resources could be added to the harms.

I also applaud Mayor Ken Christian for challenging Interior Heath about the increased vagrancy and accompanying issues Kamloops is experiencing from these so-called harm-reduction approaches.

Last Saturday, I went to the downtown library. Walking down Fifth Avenue, I passed a doorway with discarded clothing and vomit that was being cleaned up by a government official.

I later went to use the washroom at the library and came upon another government staffer engaging a man barricaded in the stall and in the middle of a profanity-laced tirade.

It is time for a whole new approach to this problem, starting with removing the supervised drug-use sites and setting up accommodations outside the city limits, with detox, counseling and

other measures to help reduce and ultimately stop drug use.

I realize the issues are complex and will require a multifaceted approach, but surely the goal is to stop addiction, not encourage it.

In the meantime, perhaps ASK Wellness could round up some of its more socialized clients for a daily cleanup of our streets and parks.

This might be a first step in encouraging their clients to see the consequences of their behaviour and take some responsibility for it.

BASS WILL BE MISSED TENANCY BRANCH SHARES THE BLAME

Editor: After a lifetime in professional theatre, working hand in hand with arts and lifestyle journalists across Canada and internationally, imagine my surprise and delight upon returning to my hometown of Kamloops to meet and become acquainted with Dale Bass, one of the best and brightest journalists I have ever known.

Congratulations, Dale, on a brilliant career.

You will be missed when you retire on Sept. 14.

Tom Kerr Kamloops

Editor: Re: Kamloops Coun.

Kathy Sinclair’s column of Aug. 10 (‘Housing issue at hand’): I hold the Residential Tenancy Branch (RTB) partially responsible for the housing shortage.

I own an upper-lower duplex in Brockhurst, which I originally purchased as an investment that I hoped would generate additional income.

I rented the upper threebedroom unit for $1,200 per month and the lower twobedroom unit for $600.

Both had a washer and dryer, the yard was fenced, I allowed pets and I had the lawn maintained.

I was proud to offer well-maintained, affordable housing, but my nightmare began almost immediately.

The upper and lower tenants did not get along and I received numerous calls from neighbours with noise complaints. The police were called out on a regular basis.

At the time of my purchase, I lived in Ontario and had a property manager look after my investment.

The situation was stressful on the manager as well.

I realized the squeeze was not worth the juice and set out to evict the problem tenant(s).

That was when my real headache began.

I had three attempts and

two years at the eviction process. Unsuccessful at that process, I knew I would have to apply to take owner possession, even though I never had any intention of living in that property.

I submitted in evidence to the RTB documents from my employer, the federal government, that I was retiring in 2016 and would return to Kamloops to take possession of the property.

I provided a confirmed pick-up delivery date from the moving company stating when my furniture and effects would arrive.

The RTB still rejected my request for the eviction.

Eventually, I had to hire a lawyer and bailiff services,

which cost me more than $2,000.

The stress and expense has left me fearful of ever again offering affordable housing. I now own three rental units, but because of my experience with the RTB, I rent only one — to a senior.

I do not hold the RTB responsible for the actions and behaviour of the tenants, but I do hold the branch responsible for unfair treatment of me, the landlord, and I argue that it has contributed to the lack of affordable housing.

I choose not to rent my properties ever again.

Working together to prevent suicide

S

Oriole Rd

ept. 10 is recognized internationally as World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD).

WSPD is an opportunity for the community to come together to promote understanding about suicide and catalyze changes that prevent suicide and alleviate suffering for those impacted by suicide.

This year’s theme, Working Together to Prevent Suicide, is a reminder we all can play a part in preventing suicide, which is the ninthleading cause of death in Canada overall and the second-leading cause of death for those under 24.

The impact of suicide ripples out to countless individuals, families, groups and communities.

Suicide is complex and, if we’re being honest, it often evokes uncomfortable feelings.

It can be difficult to know where to start, so here are simple actions you can take on WSPD and every day to contribute to the cause.

Help raise awareness through social media. The Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) publishes a toolkit for individuals, groups and communities to use and it includes images and resources that waybe ighcan a Hsocial don a n a C shared media. s Tran Visit the CASP webStarbucks

Light a candle by a window at 8 p.m. For the third year, people around the world will light candles as a sign of light in the darkness. The candle shines as a beacon of hope for those who are thinking about suicide, those who are affected by the suicidal thoughts of someone they care about and those who are impacted by suicide loss.

Learn more about suicide and consider the language you use to talk about suicide.

Visit the website for the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention or the Mental Health Commission of Canada to learn more about suicide, dispel myths and become familiar with suggested language to use when talking about suicide.

comes from a time when suicide was criminalized.

This term is considered stigmatizing. We now suggest using terms such as “died from suicide” to reduce stigma.

Donate to suicideprevention causes. Last November, Canada launched its first national crisis hotline, with phone support available 24/7 and text and chat options available for a limited portion of the day. Although the need is great, Crisis Services Canada has not received the funding necessary to continue the text and chat options.

Consider donating to organizations that support suicide prevention and help those in need.

Reach out to someone who might be struggling.

A leading theory of suicide suggests people often experience suicidal thoughts when two difficult feelings occur at the same time — a sense of disconnection from others and feeling as though they are a burden on people they care about the most.

Often, fear prevents us from taking action — fear of not knowing what to say, fear of putting the idea in their head (the research says this is not true) and fear of not knowing how to respond if someone says they are suicidal.

While bringing it

up can be difficult, you can simply start with, “I know you’ve been going through a lot lately. I want you to know I’m concerned about you.”

You don’t need all of the answers, but you should be prepared to help find resources and information if required.

Help someone create a life worth living. It’s not enough to prevent people from dying by suicide. We have to support everyone to create a life worth living. Think about what you can do to create a sense of community and encourage people to get involved in activities that are meaningful and life-sustaining.

We often think of suicide as an individual issue and, as the saying goes, when all you have is a hammer, all you see are nails.

When we think of suicide as an individual problem, we think the solution is hospitalization or individual counselling for the person experiencing the crisis.

For some people at the point of a suicidal crisis, these interventions are life-saving and absolutely essential.

But there are typically many small moments leading up to a crisis where concerned family members, friends, neighbours, co-workers, teammates and community members can make a difference for people who

might be struggling.

Suicide is not an individual problem. It’s a social problem, a community problem and one that requires everyone working together.

If this is a difficult day for you or perhaps a reminder of your own struggle with suicidal thoughts or the loss of a loved one, please know you are not alone.

Reaching out can be challenging, but finding a community, or even simply another individual, who understands can be life-changing.

World Suicide Prevention Day is a starting point and what we do after that day also matters. I encourage you to consider what small actions you can take to work together to prevent suicide.

Body of missing jet ski operator found in river The body of a jet ski driver who disappeared after colliding with another vessel in the South Thompson River has been found.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the body of the man, who was in his 30s, was found on Sunday, Sept. 2, in the river near Grand Boulevard in Valleyview.

Shelkie said a man who was boating on the South Thompson spotted the body and reported it to police.

The file is now with the BC Coroners Service.

On the afternoon of July 29, two men riding separate

jet skis on the river near Holman Road collided when one driver crashed into the other while attempting to make a U-turn.

Both men went into the water, but only the one who made the turn resurfaced. He managed to make it back to shore and police soon arrived to search for the other man.

The RCMP’s dive team searched for the next two days, concentrating on an area between the Valleyview boat launch and the Lafarge Bridge.

Additional searches by local police via boat and the RCMP helicopter were held in the days that followed.

The accident was the second of two jet ski crashes that occurred on the river in that area in a two-month span.

In May, two other jet ski operators collided on the river in a similar area, but both survived. One man sustained a leg injury while his friend broke a toe.

In both accidents, the boaters knew each other and were out on the water together.

Kamloops man killed in collision in the Shuswap BARB BROUWER SALMON ARM OBSERVER newsroom@saobserver.net

A Kamloops man died in an accident near Blind Bay on the Labour Day long weekend.

The crash occurred at the intersection of Balmoral Road and the Trans-Canada Highway on Saturday, a crossing referred to by Salmon Arm RCMP Sgt. Scott Lachapelle as a “notoriously dangerous intersection.”

The accident took place at 3:40 p.m. and involved two vehicles with B.C. licence plates.

A 69-year-old Kamloops man driving a Moto Guzzi motorcycle was pronounced dead at the scene.

His 63-year-old spouse suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to

Royal Inland Hospital.

The female driver of a northbound Chevrolet Cavalier was transported to Shuswap Lake General Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

No names were released.

While the investigation is in its preliminary stages, Lachapelle said it is believed the car entered the TransCanada and crossed in front of the westbound motorcycle.

The highway was closed in both directions for four hours while the emergency crews dealt with the scene.

The RCMP and BC Coroners Service continue to investigate.

Another dangerous intersection was the scene of an accident the day before the fatal collision.

The intersection of Highway 97 B and 10th Avenue SE in Salmon Arm was the site of a three-vehicle crash at 11:36 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 31.

Lachapelle said a vehicle travelling on 10th Avenue SE stopped at a stop sign at Highway 97 B, but proceeded without yielding to a vehicle travelling on the highway.

The initial impact between the first and second vehicles caused the second vehicle to collide with a third vehicle, which was also travelling on Highway 97B. Some of the people involved in the accident sustained injuries that required medical attention, Lachapelle said, noting one driver has been charged under the Motor Vehicle Act.

Two-truck crash claims a life A highway accident involving two semi-trucks last Friday (Aug. 31) claimed the life of a passenger sleeping in the bunk of one of the trucks.

The crash occurred at 5 a.m. on Highway 1 about five kilometres west of Chase.

According to RCMP Sgt. Barry Kennedy, the eastbound truck crossed the centre line into the westbound lane. The westbound

truck tried to avoid the oncoming vehicle by swerving into the eastbound lane, but a crash ensued.

A passenger asleep in the bunk of the eastbound truck died after being taken to Royal Inland Hospital. The driver suffered a concussion and a broken arm.

The driver of the westbound truck sustained minor head injuries and was also taken to hospital.

At left, Father Derrick Cameron, pastor of Sacred Heart Cathedral, and April Johnson, representing Urban Appeal Landscaping — which did a majority of the work and donated time and equipment — cut the ribbon, much to the delight of St. Ann’s students.

LOCAL NEWS Stephen Karpuk is seeking a seat on city council in the Oct. 20 civic election.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Karpuk wants to see creativity on council JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops chiropractor Dr. Stephen Karpuk has some ideas for the city.

He envisions a public market at Sixth Avenue and Columbia Street, near the Peterson Creek multi-use pathway, a covered pathway over the Thompson River, expanding the Rivers Trail and relaxing zoning regulations to allow people to operate businesses in their backyards.

The latter could result in a pizza shop, craft brewery or scooter shop along the Rivers Trail, Karpuk said.

“There’s lots of opportunity to enhance that, but we have to get creative,” he told KTW. The 49-year-old has long been an ideas man. He helped launch Thompson Rivers University’s Back to School Barbecue and helped lure the RCMP Musical Ride to the city as a longtime member of the Aurora Rotary Club of Kamloops.

While Karpuk said the city needs to address homelessness and affordable housing, he noted amenities will draw professionals to the city to deliver services.

He used the Rivers Trail as an example, calling it an “incomplete project.”

Karpuk would like to see it completed from one side of the city to the other, to help commuters and encourage visitors.

He sees tourism as an opportunity for the city and pointed to a recent study by Tourism Kamloops estimating economic spinoff in 2017 was $449 million.

Karpuk became a chiropractor and opened Aberdeen Chiropractic Clinic in 2003. Before that, he worked as a forestry planner. He also wants to see the city take a proactive approach to reduce interface fire risks.

Karpuk has been attending council meetings for the past five months and said staff aren’t being asked hard questions. He thinks communication could also be improved.

Karpuk ran in the 2017 byelection. He placed seventh among 21 candidates and cited his lack of social-media skills as a reason he did not snare one of the two seats up for grabs. A one-man operation during that campaign, he said he will have help this time around.

Karpuk is married to school trustee Kathleen Karpuk and the couple has three kids, ages eight, 10 and 13.

Karpuk is also chair of his business’s strata board and dealt with complaints about Canna Clinic, which made headlines in the city.

While he wasn’t against the operation, the clinic was unneighbourly, he said.

“I’ve had some pretty good dealings with the city on that one,” he said.

Karpuk can be contacted by email at stephenkarpuk@gmail.com.

Sept. 22 market forum The Council of Canadians Kamloops Chapter will be hosting an election forum at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market a month before the municipal election.

The forum will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22, in the former Stuart Wood elementary yard downtown.

It will include a meet-the-candidates component at 8 a.m., followed by questions at 10 a.m.

Audience questions will be pre-screened prior to the forum to save time.

Council of Canadians member Bruce Campbell will moderate.

The Council of Canadians is a socialaction organization, with 60 chapters across the country.

Kamloops member Anita Strong said questions will likely be along the theme of social-consciousness.

The civic election will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20.

also includes catering work.

The sentiment, however, is quintessential Cavers, who is known to be moved to action for a cause.

Through two terms on council, he became the city’s transit advocate.

He was a vocal opponent of the defeated Ajax mine and isn’t shy to ask questions or poke the hive around the horseshoe at city hall.

Sometimes, however, that passion gets him into trouble.

He took flak for sharing a photo of himself flipping off binders containing the Ajax application and, more recently, for a Tweet suggesting B.C. leave Canada over the Trans Mountain pipeline project.

“My reaction to it is water off a duck’s back,” Cavers said.

“It doesn’t really bother me because I know taking a strong stance is very impor-

tant. I have tough skin.

“I probably won’t do it as much. I am in my 30s now … when it impacts people that I’m with, that, to me, is a problem. It’s hard to always anticipate what the fallout’s going to be from taking a strong stand.”

Ultimately, Cavers is seeking re-election to ensure the city’s Transportation Master Plan, which was recently completed, is carried out.

That plan is expected to shift resources from roads toward alternate modes of transportation, such as walking and biking.

“The plan is pretty good, but I’ve seen lots of plans get created that never get implemented,” he said.

“I feel like it definitely needs a champion to push for it.”

He is relieved to have the Ajax issue silent, which he said took up half of his time in his first seven years in office.

Lax will not run A Kamloops man who ran in the 2017 byelection and intended to run in this fall’s civic election has decided to not seek a seat on council.

Leslie Lax announced online over the weekend that a medical issue requiring prompt care has led to the decision.

“It was with great disappointment and regret that I am withdrawing my candidacy from the municipal election,” he stated.

“Recently I learned that I have a medical issue that needs prompt care and I have decided to put my health first.”

After one year at the helm of the Tournament Capital, Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian is seeking re-election. “Serving in this capacity has been a tremendous honour,�

Christian said while surrounded by a group of supporters during his announcement and nomination filing at city hall on Wednesday.

While he has only been mayor for a year, the 64-year-old is far from a political rookie.

Christian served as school board trustee, school board chair, city councillor and mayor for a combined 25 years, along with nearly four decades in public health.

Asked about transitioning from councillor to mayor, Christian noted the day-to-day obligations of being the city’s top politician and having to manage council — one he touted for its diversity, but a little slow to assess facts. “You have to be somewhat authoritarian in terms of getting on with the business that needs to

get done,� he said. “The little bit of the ogre that has to come out from time to time.�

Christian has identified five issues critically important in Kamloops: building relationships, controlling taxes, affordable housing, downtown revitalization and dependable infrastructure.

While his platform around those pillars will be released in coming weeks, Christian said he also wants to build on relationships with the KamloopsThompson chool district, TRU, Tk’emlups te Secwepemc and Interior Health.

He also wants to meet with NDP cabinet ministers to ensure the province understands the city’s needs.

Christian pointed to “modest� tax and utility increases — about two per cent in 2017 — while making improvements to transportation infrastructure and policing Asked if he would commit to keeping taxes around that rate, Christian said picking a number without facts would be shooting in the dark. “But I’m going to tell you this, I am going to work hard to make sure that any increase is justified

and serves the needs of the citizens of Kamloops,� he said.

Christian called connecting downtown commercial areas part of his “vision� and wants to shepherd planning to revitalize the Tranquille corridor.

He noted council’s approval of six affordable-housing projects and emphasized the importance of maintaining affordability for the city’s most vulnerable.

Christian also stressed the importance of ensuring city infrastructure accommodates growth and climate change. “I want to continue to focus investment on active transportation and I’d be remise if I did not mention that, last year, we experienced a lot of complaints about snow removal, a lot of complaints about potholes — and we can do better,� he said. “And I commit to the citizens of Kamloops, if I’m elected, that I will push for those improvements.�

Christian is on Facebook (Ken Christian for Mayor), has a website (kenchristian.ca) and is on Twitter (KChristian8).

He can be reached by email at kenchristian@telus.net.

Klossner wants ‘awesome schools’ MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

After an unsuccessful run to be Kamloops-South Thompson MLA last year, Beat Klossner has set his sights on the board of education.

The 56-year-old baker and member of the B.C. Communist Party was born in Switzerland, but has called Kamloops home since 2002.

He knows the school system from a parent’s point of view, having raised a daughter who was taught locally.

Klossner said he decided to seek a trustee position in the Oct. 20 election because he doesn’t think the school board is doing a good job.

“I see a disconnection between the board of education and the actual schools,” Klossner said.

When he attends school board meetings, Klossner said he hears that everything is running fine in the district, but when he speaks to students, teachers, support staff and parents, he is told otherwise.

The board has been too quick to close schools in the past, he said, arguing they need to be re-opened to alleviate space limitations.

He said the board needs to have “more guts” and be more demanding in its funding requests to the province.

Klossner added that the board needs to do a better job facing difficult issues, pointing to sexual-harrasment allegations from parents earlier this year that led to a report that recommends defining what constitutes sexual misconduct.

“They seem to be very unprepared for that,” Klossner said.

If elected, Klossner said, he plans to combat privatization of school services and meet regularly with students and teachers.

“I think that what happens in the schools should guide what’s going to

happen at the board of education, not the other way around,” he said.

Klossner said he wants to see equally distributed resources, adding every neighbourhood should have an “awesome school.

“We shouldn’t have poorer schools and wealthier schools,” Klossner said.

In the long term, Klossner said he would like to see a more Scandinavian style of education system, which is less focused on tests and more interested in the student.

“I don’t want to see future workers coming out of school. I want to see independent-thinking, confident, young citizens coming out of the school system,” he said.

He described B.C.’s new curriculum, which is aimed at personalized learning and critical thinking, as a step in the right direction.

To contact, Klossner, call 250851-0505 or email klossner4trustee@ gmail.com.

Cowden won’t run again Joan Cowden will not be seeking a fourth term as a Kamloops-Thompson school trustee.

TRUMPET TRIUMPH

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

An ant manages to scale a trumpet vine as the light of late summer guides the way. Ants cannot be avoided, but trumpet vines, while beautiful, are invasive. Never plant one near your home as the far-reaching roots can cause damage.

New Life with all the works after merging with The Mustard Seed New Life Community Kamloops has merged with Alberta-based The Mustard Seed to continue providing services to the needy in the city.

The partnership will see the name changed to The Mustard Seed New Life Community.

“We are excited about this merger and it’s quite something how it all took place,” said Kelly Thomson, New Life’s interim executive director and board member.

“We were looking for a new executive director to replace our outgoing director [Stan Dueck] and I made a call to a friend who works at The Mustard Seed to help spread the word of our search,”

Thomson said.

“That’s when we learned The Mustard Seed was looking to expand into B.C. This phone call was the beginning of getting things in motion, yet it wasn’t our intention at all.”

Mustard Seed CEO Stephen Wile said New Life “has a legacy of almost 40 years in the Kamloops community doing exceptional work to help guests and clients of the organization make remarkable changes in their lives.

“We’ve read the stories and we’ve talked to people who have been there. We look forward to continuing this mighty work together in Kamloops.”

Both are faith-based

organizations.

New Life has a variety of programs, including an outreach centre with a kitchen that feeds thousands annually, a dental clinic, a health-care centre, a hair salon, a thrift store and a men’s recovery centre.

The Mustard Seed has three locations in Alberta offering services to help the homeless and people living in poverty.

To mark the occasion, an open house is planned for the outreach centre on Monday, Sept. 10, at 181 West Victoria St. It will run from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Free parking is available for the event at the nearby BC Lottery Corporation parking lot.

Pool-only rate at established at the TCC

Ten months ago, Rayleigh’s new skate park was being built. On Saturday, the $250,000 facility will celebrate its grand opening.The park is the result of lobbying by neighbourhood youth looking for more to do in their community.

KTW FILE PHOTO

Celebrate Rayleigh’s new skate park KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops’ newest skate park, the brainchild of two brothers, will have its grand opening this weekend.

Rayleigh residents Owen and Merek de Witte wanted a skate park in their community that borders Highway 5 North and the North Thompson River.

So, with the help of their aunt, Florence Ballard, the boys spent plenty of time gathering support and working with the city to bring their dream to fruition.

“If you have a great idea and it fits the need of the community, it is possible to make it happen, you just have to put the work in,” said city parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam.

“Merek and Owen are a great example of that.”

The boys collected more than 600 signatures of support and brought a vocal group to city budget meetings in 2016 and 2017.

Marek told KTW last year that the park would provide a much-needed recreational space for kids in the neighbourhood, which is at least a half-hour bus ride from the McArthur Island skate park.

“It gives a lot of people the chance to learn how to ride a skateboard or get better at riding a bike or a skateboard or a scooter,” he said. “And it’s going to make people more active.”

Rae-Mor Park replaces Rayleigh’s Raemore Park’s former basketball courts,

which were not being used due to the poor condition of the asphalt.

The community is invited to the grand opening this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will feature demonstrations on the skate park and pump track, entertainment, and an official ribbon cutting by Mayor Ken Christian.

The day will also include demonstrations from the Kamloops BMX Club, 808 & Bench and the Rayleigh Cricket Club, inflatable bouncy castles from Jumpin’ Jax and the Heffley volunteer firefighters with their fire truck. The Eats Amore food truck will also be there.

To get to Rae-Mor Park, drive north on Spurraway Road in Rayleigh and turn left on Arab Run Road.

The City of Kamloops is offering lower rates to swimmers as the Tournament Capital Centre returns to regular hours this week.

“Customers felt that if they were only using the pool, it should be the same as the rate for those only using the gym,” city business operations supervisor Sean Smith said.

“It just makes it a little more attractive.”

Monthly swim passes, which include access to the TCC Fieldhouse, will be available for $39 per month, down from $47 per month.

The city earlier introduced reduced fees for gym-only memberships at the TCC, which are also $39.

The pool has re-opened following annual maintenance that saw it closed since Aug. 13.

Join the party The City of Kamloops is hosting a summer wrap-up party in Riverside Park.

The event will be held this Saturday, complete with food trucks, craft beer and ciders and musicians. Entertainment begins at 6 p.m., with Kamloops musician Suzi Rawn taking the stage shortly after at 6:30 p.m.

Confirmed vendors include A&D Dogs, Blender Blender and The Happy Camper. The familyfriendly events will run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

NATIONAL NEWS Freeland, Lighthizer finish NAFTA meeting, negotiators grind forward MIKE BLANCHFIELD

CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland wrapped up two hours of talks Thursday with her U.S. counterpart in what has become a painstaking march for a deal on the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Freeland’s meeting with U.S. trade czar Robert Lighthizer resulted in fresh marching orders for their respective negotiating teams.

The minister maintained the same upbeat tone she has held since arriving in Washington this week to reboot talks with the Trump administration.

“We really are confident, as we have been from the outset, that a deal which is good for Canada, good for the United States and good for Mexico is possible,’’ Freeland said, as she departed the office of the U.S. Trade Representative on her way to the Canadian Embassy.

She added officials “were given some instructions at this meeting and they will continue to work and our negotiations continue.’’

A block from the White House, Freeland and Lighthizer pored over results from their front-line negotiators who held a long stretch of talks that started Wednesday night and finished in the early morning hours of Thursday.

Canadian negotiators spent the morning huddled in the Canadian embassy to discuss the outcomes of that meeting, setting the stage for Freeland’s face-to-face meeting Thursday with Lighthizer.

Freeland offered few specifics, sticking to her mantra of not wanting to negotiate in public — an

agreement struck with the toughtalking Lighthizer as an act of good faith.

Sources said both sides want a deal, but cautioned there remain disagreements on key issues, including dairy, culture and the Chapter 19 dispute resolution mechanism.

Freeland told reporters at the close of her Wednesday meeting with Lighthizer she couldn’t predict when the two sides would come to an agreement, saying nothing is settled until everything is settled.

On Thursday afternoon, Freeland described the atmosphere as “constructive’’ and “positive.’’

Canada and the U.S. need to present an agreed-upon text to the U.S. Congress by Oct. 1 in order to join the deal the Trump administration signed with Mexico.

NAFTA negotiations, now in their 13th month, are key to determining the economic and trade relationship among the three North American countries, with many workers’ and industries’ prospects hanging in the balance.

President Donald Trump is threatening to move ahead on a deal that excludes Canada, but he also needs a win on trade ahead of midterm elections in November that will test his ability to keep control of Congress.

Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traded barbs Wednesday, with each saying they were willing to walk away from NAFTA if they don’t get what they want.

The goal of this week’s talks is to reach a deal by Dec. 1 so Congress can give its approval to a revised three-country NAFTA before Mexico’s new president takes office.

Weir not welcome by NDP CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh won’t allow scorned MP Erin Weir to run as a New Democrat in the next election.

In a letter to Weir, Singh said he isn’t confident the Saskatchewan MP won’t repeat the harassing behaviour that got him kicked out of the NDP caucus last spring.

Consequently, Singh says he rejects the MP’s request to be readmitted to the NDP caucus and won’t approve his candidacy for the 2019 election.

Weir was suspended from the caucus in February after fellow New Democrat Christine Moore sent an email to her caucus colleagues saying she had heard numerous complaints about Weir allegedly harassing staffers.

A subsequent independent investigation upheld several complaints of harassment, which Singh described at the time as a failure to read non-verbal cues in social settings.

However, it was Weir’s response to the findings — publicly dismissing one complaint as payback for a policy dispute he had with a member of former leader Tom Mulcair’s staff — that got him booted out of

caucus permanently in May. In his letter to Weir, Singh said he isn’t satisfied the MP has taken the actions necessary to rectify the damage he did to the NDP’s “work of building a safer workplace and party.

“I have not seen evidence of a genuine understanding of how your behaviour needs to change or an expression of regret and remorse for describing sustained findings of harassment as ‘trumped up,’’’ Singh wrote.

“I have not seen you take responsibility publicly for very publicly harming the reputations of your former caucus colleagues nor work sincerely at repairing the trust and confidence that was broken. I am not confident that the harassing behaviour will not be repeated.’’

Singh said his office received this week an email from the president of the union representing staffers working for New Democrat MPs, expressing concern about Weir’s request to be reinstated to caucus.

According to Singh, the union leader said welcoming Weir back into the fold “would put staff at risk and would violate their rights under the collective agreement to a safe, healthy and harassment-free workplace.’’

Former NHLer facing sexual assault charges CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Former NHL star Dave (Tiger) Williams is set to stand trial next year on sexual assault and assault charges over an alleged incident on a military morale-boosting trip last December.

A lawyer for the former Toronto Maple Leaf and Vancouver Canuck, who holds the NHL

1ST ANNUAL

record for most penalty minutes, said the trial will begin on June 10 and is scheduled to run seven days.

Military police arrested and charged the 64-year-old Williams in February after he allegedly assaulted a steward on a military aircraft in December during a tour to meet with Canadian troops in Latvia and Greece.

Williams denies the accusations.

GLOBAL VIEWS ENJOYING THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

Kiara Belanger and Cory Priebe with dog Kaya amid the sandbars of the Thompson River. This past week has been glorious and the weekend is shaping up to be outdoor-friendly, with sun and clouds and highs to 25.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

WILL THERE BE NO MORE PALESTINIAN REFUGEES?

W

ho said this?

“The weak crumble, are slaughtered and are erased from history, while the strong, for good or for ill, survive. The strong are respected and alliances are made with the strong — and in the end, peace is made with the strong.”

Friedrich Nietzsche?

Joseph Goebbels?

No, it was Binyamin Netanyahu, prime minister of Israel and newly minted philosopher of power.

Netanyahu and his ally, U.S. President Donald Trump, are on the brink of erasing the Palestinian refugees from history — or at least they think they are — and he was allowing himself a little moment of self-congratulation.

He said it last Saturday at the renaming ceremony for the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, where Israel makes its (unacknowledged) nuclear weapons.

It was no coincidence at all that just the previous day, Trump announced he was ending all U.S. financial support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

It is the agency that has looked after the health, education and, sometimes, even the

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH feeding of Palestinian refugees who were driven from their homes during what Israelis call their Independence War of 1948 and 1949. It is funded by the voluntary contributions of UN members and, until this year, the United States has been picking up about one-third of the bill.

The agency has done a good job in difficult circumstances, with half of its clients living in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip and the other half in refugee camps in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

Palestinians are the best-educated population in the Arab world.

Since 1948, their population has grown to five million from 700,000.

This is not as fast as Israel’s Jewish population, which has grown from 550,000 in 1948 to about 6.5 million in the same period, but if all these Arab refugees

were to go home, it would return the country to the half-Jewish half-Arab balance that prevailed in early 1948.

For this reason, the Israeli government has always been adamant the Palestinians cannot return, no matter what international law says.

Israeli officials even insist the Palestinians are not real refugees unless they were actually living in what is now Israel before 1948.

Their children and grandchildren should not inherit their status and are therefore not entitled to claim neither the right of return nor compensation for giving up their rights.

You can see why Israeli governments might favour this view, since by now only Palestinians over the age of 70 would qualify as refugees. There’s only about 20,000 of them left and they’ll all be gone soon.

However, Zionists might want to think twice before elevating this way of thinking about refugees into a general principle.

The Jewish claim to Palestine is based on the idea that the ancestors of today’s Jews were made refugees by the Romans about 2,000 years ago.

If the rights of Palestinian refugees can be legitimately extinguished after the first generation, the

Jewish claim becomes equally invalid.

But this is just lawyers’ talk, of course.

What really matters is power, as Netanyahu helpfully pointed out, and he and Trump believe they hold all the cards.

Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s “eternal capital” last year, cutting the Palestinians out, and Netanyahu is convinced (probably correctly) the rest of the world will come along eventually.

Now they are going to starve the Palestinians out.

In the same week

that Trump ended U.S. funding for the UN agency, he also cut off the $200 million annually the United States gives to the Palestinian Authority, the almostpuppet government that administers the occupied Palestinian territories under Israeli supervision.

When they are all hungry enough, he assumes, they will accept Israel’s terms.

Maybe so, but there is a flaw in the grand plan. U.S. funding covered only one-third of the agency’s budget and even less of that of the Palestinian Authority.

Other countries will continue to cover the rest and are promising to raise their contributions to replace at least part of the American sum.

The Palestinians will definitely be hungry, but probably not hungry enough to surrender unconditionally.

If there was ever a time when such a radical strategy could succeed, it is now.

Syria is off the board, as is Iraq, and most of the other Arab states near Israel are so caught up in their obsession about the alleged threat from Iran that Palestine

has dropped to the bottom of their priorities.

But even now the Palestinians cannot simply be pushed away by some tricky redefinition of their rights.

There is a limit beyond which no Arab regime can go in terms of abandoning the Palestinians to Israel’s and America’s tender mercies.

Nobody in the Arab world loves the Palestinians, but nobody wants to be the first to sell them out.

Kamloopa a ‘love story’ to Indigenous women New Western Canada Theatre production debuts Sept. 15 at Pavillion Theatre DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

here’s one main reason why Kaitlyn Yott works in theatre — it’s real.

It’s not just about the product, as she found when acting in film and television. Plays are focused on a message of some kind and, with the work she is now rehearsing, she sees a missive that is about more than smiling, applauding and heading home to other things.

Instead, Yott sees Kamloopa as something that will entertain — it’s basically a female road trip to this city’s powwow — but that also speaks not only to the horrific backstory of the country’s First Nations but what happened after residential schools were closed and politicians tried to find ways to make amends.

That’s the intent of first-time playwright and long-time actor Kim Senklip Harvey. While telling the story of three friends heading from the Coast to Kamloops for the celebratory event, the words she has written delve deep into the reality Indigenous women — young women in particular — face in today’s world where reconciliation and understanding continue to play out as their community interacts with the rest of Canada.

Basically, Senklip Harvey said, it is Indigenous theatre that goes

beyond the proscenium arch that traditionally borders theatre stages, extending the edges of her story in a way she hopes make her audience — she calls them witnesses — start to understand the Indigenous matriarchal world, the importance of ceremonies and perhaps hear the playwright’s call to action.

Simplified, she said she hopes people come into the opening play of this year’s Western Canada Theatre season with memories of sitting around a campfire and telling stories.

It was important for her to have not only an all-female cast — joining Yott are Yolanda Bonnell and Samantha Brown — but a creative team of only women. With a goal to help Indigenous women find their power, Senklip Harvey said it’s important for them to see women with power and a creative team of just women is one way to provide that inspiration.

“I wouldn’t be writing this story if I had had a life where I felt I had power,” Senklip Harvey said, and she’s reiterated that goal during rehearsals when the cast have said they’re weren’t sure they could do what she was asking of them.

They have every time, she said.

“This is a story about my generation” of Indigenous women, Senklip Harvey said. It’s about young women and the impact on

them of earlier generations.

“It’s a love story to Indigenous women.”

That goal fuels Yott, too. She said her artistic career was influenced by “amazing women who carved a path for me to walk on and it’s my job to keep carving that path.”

For those who want to gather more information before the play opens on Sept. 15 at Pavilion Theatre, Senklip Harvey has been

keeping track of Kamloopa’s progress online at kimsenklip. com/blog and anchor.fm/buildingthefire.

As for why she’s debuting the play at Western Canada Theatre before it heads off to The Cultch in Vancouver, the answer is simple. As a member of the Interior Salish First Nations group, she said “this is home. It had to start here.

“And there’s even a Senor

Laramie Project comes full circle DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

wenty years ago, Matthew Shepard’s beaten and tortured body was found tied to a fence.

The University of Wyoming student died six days later and a media frenzy ensued, which some say was a turning point in the gay rights movement in the United States.

Derek Rein wants to remind people of the legacy the young man’s death — and life — left behind and show the progress that has been made in the past two decades toward understanding and inclusivity.

To do this, Rein is revisiting a play he directed at Pavilion Theatre in 2002, one that grew from a project taken on by playwright Moises Kaufman and members of his Tectonic Theatre Project. They spent months at Laramie, Wy., the town near where Shephard was found, interviewing people about the murder.

The Laramie Project: A Reading is planned for Sunday, Oct. 21, at 7:30 p.m. at Pavilion Theatre.

In a way, Rein is bringing the play full circle. In 2002, Project X Theatre, which he founded with Samantha MacDonald, presented the play at the Lorne Street venue.

Taking on many of the 60 roles in the play will be Alicia Ashcroft, Devon Stonehocker, Gisella Ramsay, Harmony Maher, Heidi Verwey, Jessica Reid, Maddy Henry, Melissa Purcha, Terri Runnalls, Paige Cross, Brandon Reid, Doug Herbert, Wyatt Purcha, Cayman Duncan, Sam Numsen, James McDonald, Dusan Magdolen and Rein himself.

While he sees progress on inclusivity, Rein said there is still work to be done and the play is one way to reinforce the need to continue moving forward.

Two men were found guilty of the murder and each received two consecutive life sentences. Media focused on the murder as a hate crime.

The play looks at the many

viewpoints, opinions and impact the murder had on people who lived in Laramie.

Rein said he learned of the play after seeing a production in New York City of Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, another Kaufman play. He located a copy of the Laramie script and noted how alike Laramie and Kamloops are in terms of size, economy and other similar characteristics.

He decided he had to bring “this incredible script” to life and several actors took part in the 2002 production.

Proceeds from the $25 ticket sales will go to Kamloops Pride which, along with Western Canada Theatre, have been helping Rein with the project. Tickets will go on sale in September at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St. (Pavilion Theatre), 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Things are falling into place for The Fallaways DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

J

ason Koster is curious how the new tour bus will fare when The Fallaways head out on the road.

Things have been pretty hectic and heavy in recent months. They left their home base of Vernon and headed to Vancouver. Koster said for him, the move was a combination of following the girlfriend and following the dream.

“The girlfriend’s gone now,” he said — but the band, at one point living in different parts of Vancouver, are now sharing a house, recently signed a management deal, released its first EP and is working on the next one.

“It looks like the struggle is starting to pay off,” Koster said, explaining the problem with staying in one place is that as a band you start playing to the same people at the same venues all the time.

Along with Devon Lencucha, Joshua Ertman and Justin Skillnik,

the band is touring with two other groups they share a producer with — Redwoods and The Statistics.

There is either no headliner or three headliners, depending on how you want to look at it, Koster said. At each stop on the tour they rotate through, opener to headliner, depending on which band they think will resonate best in the communities they will visit. For Kamloops on Thursday, Sept. 13, at The Blue Grotto, The Statistics will open, followed by The Fallaways and ending with Redwoods.

The band came together through mutual passion to make music. Koster said he had recorded his own EP, playing every instrument on it, after he left another band. Through that process, he found “a good group of guys,” and after going through a variety of potential names, The Fallaways was created.

While they write and perform their own songs, usually riffing off an idea of Koster’s that the group massages into music, they also do

covers of other songs.

The tour is based around weekends, heading out on Thursdays and heading home of Sundays, but in November, the

tour bus will be putting on about 4,500 kilometres as they head to Toronto.

The dawn of the Silver Age of comic books

T

he 1960s are known affectionately as the Silver Age of comic books.

Back then, superhero comics were all but dead and gone.

The Silver Age was, in its essence, a wave of new comic books and characters that saved superhero comics from obscurity and possibly oblivion.

So it figures, then, that there should be a story explaining how and why this all happened in the actual DC universe comic books, right? That’s The New Frontier.

Created in the early 2000s, The New Frontier is a story that gives the new wave of superheroes a focal point and a common enemy to unite them together to signal the beginning of the new era of heroes.

While Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman — Golden Age characters from the 1930s and 1940s — are present in the story, they quickly take a backseat to the new heroes, with a particular focus on the new Green Lantern, the new Flash, and the alien Martian Manhunter.

NICK KLIE

COMIC KAM

What the story does best is that it avoids merely repeating old origin stories and instead weaves an epic story in between the spaces of the old.

As the new heroes come into their own, discovering their powers and the new world they live in, a massive unknown threat gradually brings them all together for the first time. Sure, everyone loves Aquaman now, but imagine meeting an underwater king and

his army of fish for the first time unsure of where his loyalties lie, all the while trying to figure out why a lightning bolt and chemicals have turned you into the Flash.

Not only that, but secret government agencies are trying to capture you to get some answers to their own questions.

That can’t be easy.

New Frontier is like a love letter to the Silver Age. The retro animated art style suits the book perfectly and the writing does an amazing job of capturing each character’s voice.

The book begins in darkness, the ashes of the Golden Age, and ends as a bright, brand new day, with a new path illuminated for the heroes of the Silver Age. Plus, how often do you get to read a cool story with the Challengers of the Unknown? Not very often. It’s almost worth it for that alone.

arts&entertainment Online debut for When I’m Dead A short film shot and produced in Kamloops hit the digital airwaves Thursday.

Filmmaker Vesta Giles won a $10,000 Storyhive grant from Telus for When I’m Dead, a comedy about grief.

The film plays out a story that addresses a mother’s grief. A mother, dreading the task of going through her adult child’s belongings following her death from cancer, finds something one would think a daughter wouldn’t want

a mother to find.

The unexpected discovery leads to the first laugh she’s had in months and she begins to feel alleviated from her grief.

The film is based on Giles’ own experience of a friend’s death.

Production for the film was done

by Kamloops company Alpha-Omega Productions.

In addition to the grant, the film also raised $1,600 on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo.

BRIEFS Acclaimed storyteller on his way to Kamloops

Former journalist and longtime storyteller James Murray will be at the Kamloops Library, 465 Victoria St., on Thursday, Sept. 13 for an evening of telling some tales.

While his set list isn’t public, it’s likely he’ll include A Fair Exchange Of Gifts, Murray’s wonderfully heartwarming and poignant story about what he would give his old dog Duffy for Christmas brought tears to many a listener’s ear when it first aired to much acclaim on CBC Radio. It has since become a perennial favourite.

Through the years, Murray has received recognition for his writing and storytelling, as well as, numerous awards including a Jack Webster Award, two Ron Miller Storytelling awards and

a number of Best Newspaper Column of the Year awards from Black Press and the Outdoor Writers of Canada.

Most recently, Murray was honoured with a Paul Harris Fellowship.

Along with stages and festivals across the province, Murray also performs regularly at theatres, coffee houses, seniors homes, elementary and high schools, colleges and libraries.

NEW YORK — Burt Reynolds, the handsome film and television star known for his acclaimed performances in Deliverance and Boogie Nights and for an active off-screen life which included relationships with Loni Anderson, Sally Field and Dinah Shore, has died at age 82.

His death was confirmed Thursday by his agent Todd Eisner, who did not immediately have further details.

Reynolds inspired a wide range of responses over his long, erratic career: critical acclaim and critical scorn, commercial success and box office bombs.

Reynolds made scores of movies, ranging from lightweight fare such as the hits The Cannonball Run and

Smokey and the Bandit to more serious films like The Longest Yard and The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing.

He was nominated for an Oscar for Boogie Nights, the Paul Thomas Anderson film about the pornography industry; won an Emmy for the TV series Evening Shade, and received high praise for his starring role in Deliverance.

But he also was a frequent nominee for the Razzie, the tongue-in-cheek award for Hollywood's worst performance, and his personal life provided ongoing drama, particularly after an acrimonious divorce from Anderson in 1995.

He had a troubled marriage to Judy Carne, a romance with Shore and a relationship with Field damaged by his acknowledged jealousy of her success.

Through it all he presented a genial persona, often the first to make fun of his own conflicted image.

“My career is not like a regular chart, mine looks like a heart attack,” he told the Associated Press in 2001.

“I've done over 100 films, and I'm the only actor who has been canned by all three networks. I epitomize longevity.”

Reynolds was candid about his flops, his regrets and about his many famous friends.

He would call posing nude for Cosmopolitan one of his biggest mistakes because it undermined the respect he had gained for Deliverance.

He revered Spencer Tracy as an early mentor and came to know Johnny Carson, Clint Eastwood, Frank Sinatra and many others.

ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER RISES DEFIANTLY MARGARET DEEFHOLTS

TRAVELWRITERSTALES.COM

D

o you remember what you were doing on the morning of September 11, 2001?

I woke to the sound of my bedside radio and listened groggily to an announcer saying something about the World Trade Center in New York City.

His voice sounded high-pitched and theatrical, as though he was reading a script from War of the Worlds.

Then the phone rang.

It was my sister. “Turn on your TV,” she said.

“Quick!”

When I did, it was just in time to see a plane crash into the second tower, turning it into an inferno of flames.

My brain froze with horror. With it came a sense of unreality — as though I was watching a movie unfold.

The camera zeroed in on people screaming, terror-stricken and running. I saw smoke engulfing the streets and, later, those acts of sheer desperation — bodies hitting the pavement as people jumped to their death, choosing a quick exit rather than being burned into oblivion.

And then the collapse of the buildings, crumbling to the ground like Lego blocks kicked over by a kid.

Back in the mid1990s, I was in New York City for the first time and, dazzled by the Big Apple, I had sat on a bench in

One World Trade Center (left) is also known as Freedom Tower. Names of those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack are inscribed on the parapets of the Memorial Pool. More photos are online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

time seemed like a considerable amount of dollars to ride up to the observation deck of the south tower. I eventually did so and, somewhere among my possessions, I still have video footage of that day.

I am in New York once

again, standing at the same site at the complex now known as One World Trade Center.

To get here, I’ve taken the subway, whose station is housed in a building called the Oculus (meaning an eye).

The curious structure is supposed to resemble a dove, but looks more like a whale’s skeleton tail-fluke up. The interior ceiling is white-ribbed and cage-like.

Part of the One World site seems much like a work in progress, with construction crews and machinery, but beyond this closed-off section people stream across the plaza.

One World Trade Center or Freedom Tower, its gleaming prisms reflecting the sunlight, stands at the northwest corner.

At 1,776 feet (includ-

ing the antenna), it is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and sixth-tallest in the world.

The height is symbolic: 1776 was the year America’s Declaration of Independence was signed.

Two square memorial pools splashed by waterfalls mark the footprints of the two original towers and the names of those who perished here on that fateful day are inscribed on their parapets.

Nearby, while everything crumbled to dust, one lone pear tree survived. Known as The Survivor Tree, it still stands here today — a symbol of tenacity in the face of destruction.

Kitty-corner across the street, the heroic firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty are honored with a bas

relief plaque “dedicated to those who fell and those who carry on.”

I have a choice: museum or Freedom Tower Observatory. I choose the latter and the express elevator beams me up to the 102nd floor in 47 seconds. Simulated scenes of the city below surround me during the ride. It is magical.

I take my time gazing across the city and environs.

I pause to listen to presentations and watch a slide show after which I leave, for there’s one more must-see place on my list today — St. Paul’s Church.

Dubbed The Little Chapel That Stood, St. Paul’s is just across the street from the World Trade Center.

Sheltered by a sycamore tree, the church miraculously remained

intact, with not even a single broken window pane on that terrible September day.

For months afterwards, the church served as a refuge, with volunteers working around the clock. As I sit in a pew today, an organist high up in the loft plays the opening chords to Bach’s Toccata and Fugue.

The rebuilding of the One World Trade Center site is the story of resilience, grit and determination.

Like the proverbial Phoenix, it has risen from the ashes, defiant fist held high.

Andrew McDonald is the new pastor of Lord of Life Lutheran Church on Sunset Drive in Valleyview.

McDonald is a New England native, born to Roman Catholic parents near Boston.

When he was three, his family moved to Connecticut, then to Texas when he was 10.

McDonald attended a Jesuit high school in Dallas, where he developed a serious interest in the priesthood.

McDonald then enrolled at Middlebury College in Vermont, where he majored in literary studies. During those years, he studied abroad twice — first in Scotland, then in Russia.

Through his studies,

McDonald developed a deep love of the Russian language. In fact, it was the novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky that enriched his appreciation of the Christian faith.

Middlebury is also where McDonald discovered the writings of Martin Luther, which started him on the path to becoming Lutheran.

McDonald began studying at Concordia Lutheran Seminary in Edmonton in September of 2014.

During these years, he did field work at King of Kings Lutheran Church in St. Albert, Alta., and Bethel Lutheran Church in Sherwood Park, Alta.

McDonald also served

as vicar at Trinity and Zion Evangelical Lutheran churches in Winkler and Morden, Man. He was ordained to the pastoral ministry and installed at Lord of Life in Kamloops on July 15.

McDonald is married to Rachael, a school psychologist originally from Denver.

She has also lived in Anchorage and Seattle.

Together they share a deep love for the gospel and literature.

McDonald is a lifelong actor and has performed in numerous theatrical productions.

He also practises Shinkan Ryu Kenpo, a style of historical Japanese swordsmanship.

MUCH EXPECTED FROM QUARTET OF ONYEBUCHI, KNEEN, ZAZULA AND SILLANPAA

This is the third in a five-part series previewing the 2018-2019 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign. The series will continue on Sept. 14 and Sept.

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

M

ontana Onye­ buchi fought his way into hearts of Kamloops Blazers’ fans last season, both literally and figu­ ratively, showing a pen­ chant for pugilism and a flamboyant fearlessness.

Now 18 and moti­ vated to be selected in the 2019 NHL Draft, the 6­foot­3, 210­pound right­shot from Dugald, Man., is among four defencemen who seem safe bets to play regular minutes this season.

Nolan Kneen, a right­shot 19­year­old, Luke Zazula, a left­shot 18­year­old, and Jonas Sillanpaa, a left­shot 17­year­old, are also in that category.

Expectations for Kneen, the highest bantam­draft pick in Blazers’ history, were high when he was selected third overall in 2014, but patience has been required for those with interest in his develop­ ment.

The 2017­2018 cam­ paign, in which he set career­highs in goals (seven), points (37) and penalty minutes (75), was Kneen’s best to date.

He spent the summer training off­ice near his home in Duncan and on­ice in Campbell River and Nanaimo, knowing he will be counted on to assume a leadership role, with last year’s elder­ statesmen defenders, Joe Gatenby and Brady Reagan, having aged out of junior hockey.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops Blazers’ defenceman Nolan Kneen spent the summer training on and off the ice, in preparation for this season, when he will expected to be one of the team leaders.

“It’s going to be a big step and I’ve been waiting for it for a long time,” said Kneen, who stands six feet, weighs 187 pounds and plays a physical game.

I’m sort of looking to continue with the steps I was taking last year, not so much points­wise, but with having an all­ around game, with little things in the defensive zone and positioning.”

Zazula, diminutive at 5­foot­8 and 170 pounds, showed flashes of his potential last season, at his best when hounding

opponents in the defen­ sive zone and moving the puck quickly up ice.

More will be expected of the Langley product in his 18­year­old cam­ paign. What to expect of Finnish import Sillanpaa is uncertain, but it’s no leap of faith to suggest his game will be much differ­ ent than Zazula’s.

For starters, he is 6­foot­6 and 187 pounds.

Early signs suggest Sillanpaa, from Espoo, is not afraid to make his big frame an asset, with physical play seemingly among his attributes.

Sillanpaa must adjust to a smaller ice surface and culture shock (nei­ ther of the European imports, the other being Czech forward Martin Lang, have a great grasp of the English language), but Blazers’ head coach Serge Lajoie expects the sizeable D­man to be a quick study.

“For a defenceman, we use dots as kind of our landmarks,” said Lajoie, a former blue liner. “Jonas is used to playing on the big ice, so that’s going to be a bit of an adjust­ ment.”

Jostling behind Kneen, Onyebuchi, Zazula and Sillinpaa are Sean Strange and Devan Harrison, both left­shot 18­year­olds, and Tylor Ludwar, a right­shot 19­year­old.

Strange, a 6­foot­1, 190­pound Saanich prod­ uct, earned a roster spot after training camp and pre­season in 2017, but did not draw big minutes in 52 regular­season games, finishing the cam­ paign with eight points, all assists.

He did enough to earn an invite to the Colorado

Avalanche’s development camp, which began this week. The experience should bode well on his quest to see more ice in 2018­2019.

Onyebuchi is the other Blazers’ D­man attend­ ing pro camp this week.

He left for the Tampa Bay Lightning’s development camp on Wednesday.

Ludwar, from Regina, is 6­foot­1, 205 pounds and started his WHL career in 2016­2017 as a defenceman, but spent much of last season adjusting to a new role as a forward.

Four right­shot and six left­shot defencemen remain on the roster, an imbalance that may help right­shot Ludwar’s chances of making a big­ ger impact this season.

Schmiemann, a 6­foot­2, 185­pound native of Wilcox, Sask., and Harrison, the Dysart, Sask., product who stands 6­foot­2 and weighs 182 pounds, are part of the left­shot log jam.

“You come to the rink and you put your head down and work as hard as you can,” Schmiemann said.

“That’s all you can do.

Hopefully, things work out for you. I feel like I’m ready to take the next step here.”

Trevor Thurston, a left­shot Delta product who stands 6­foot­2 and weighs 177 pounds, and Ethan Brandwood, a right­shot Victoria native who stands six feet and weighs 157 pounds, are both 16 and likely to spend the season devel­ oping in the midget ranks.

“We’ve got lots of D­men that are fighting for spots,” Kneen said.

“It’s a competitive group right now. It’s a lot of fun to see.”

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An avid water skier from Ashcroft is hoping a new organization he intends to launch will see more people in and around the Tournament Capital making use of Kamloops Lake.

Alfonse Daudet said he hopes to have a water ski club up and running on the lake west of Kamloops by April.

“We’ve been trying to set this up where we could get a group of water skiers, a slalom course and where we could have a competitive aspect to it as well as a social side,” Daudet told KTW. “We’re beginning to explore what the interest is. I know there are two people in Savona who have ski boats who said they would join immediately. And there are two more people with boats in Tobiano who are interested.”

Daudet described Kamloops Lake as ideal for water skiing, especially given its light boat traffic — something the founder of the as-of-yet-unnamed club said might not be the case for long.

“So many people in Kamloops tend to go to Chase, to Little Shuswap or to Shuswap Lake, when Kamloops Lake is so close to them,” he said.

“They might not know that there is a floating restaurant, Tobiano has a great restaurant, launch fees are reasonable, plus it’s much warmer. I don’t know why people don’t go to Kamloops Lake instead of driving into the forest.”

The weather is also a benefit.

“That’s the advantage of having a club here,” Daudet said. “There are so many in the Lower Mainland, but they have to put up with rain every other day. Here, we have endless sunshine.”

Daudet said he expects membership in the club to run from between $80 and $100 annually — funds that will initially be used to purchase a slalom course and construct a dock.

He said he holds a slalom permit for Turtle Bay in Mara Lake and he intends to transfer the licence to Kamloops Lake at his own cost.

Daudet said he is meeting with Bruker Marina management to go over the plans for the club, which he said will also feature wake boarding and knee boarding.

“We’re just meeting to discuss what we are going to name it, what’s the number of members and volunteers we are going to need,” he said.

“Hopefully, we can produce some talented water skiers.”

Daudet said he hopes to have more information to make public in the coming weeks.

Challenge Cup coming to Kamloops The dates and locations of Curl BC’s 2019 BC Championship events have been finalized — and Kamloops is on the schedule.

The Kamloops Curling Centre will host the BC U-15 Challenge Cup from Jan. 11 to Jan. 15.

While a premier event, the Challenge Cup is not a provincial championship, but is a competition and development camp.

It is designed to give curlers a chance to hone

their skills in the years between BC Winter Games, which take place every two years.

The camp will feature top B.C. coaches and past champions at the BC Winter Games and Canada Winter Games levels.

Meanwhile, the 2019 BC Women’s and BC Men’s curling championships will be held concurrently at the West Fraser Centre in Quesnel from Jan. 29 to Feb. 3.

Much more than a simple Walk in the Park The longest-running ultra-marathon in B.C. took place for the 27th time in Kenna Cartwright Park in Kamloops on Sunday.

The race was moved last year to Stake Lake due to park closures associated with fire ratings.

While back at Kenna this year, racers were again faced with the elevation for which Walk in the Park is known.

There were three distances from which to choose: 14k, 25k or 50k.

The top three finishers in the 14k distance were all from Kamloops: Gord Humphrey in a time of 1:13:59, Jesse Lavigne in 1:30:15 and Harry Gillett in 1:32:04.

The 25k distance was won by George Warr of Williams Lake in a time of 2:26:38, followed by Dirk Handke of Kelowna in 2:27:50 and David Zirnhelt of Kamloops in 2:29:31.

Joanna Brewer of Kamloops set a course record in the 50k female category with a time of 5:18:04, finishing first among women and third overall.

Ian Mckinely of Kamloops won the 50k event in a time of 4:49:37. Mckinley also won this year’s Kamloops Marathon.

Robert Pritchard of Port Coquitlam placed second in the 50k race with a time of 5:07:57.

Paul Doyle, the oldest competitor at 71, was competing in his 18th Walk in the Park and completed the 50k event in 8:15:01.

DAVE GRAHAM PHOTOS At left, local runners Geoff Blunden and Jordan Sim tackle the 25k distance. Above, race director Chris Larouche (second from left) with top 50k female finisher Joanna Brewer and top 50k male racer Ian Mckinley.

Broncos back in action Saturday The Kamloops Broncos return to the field this Saturday when the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack visit Hillside Stadium. Kickoff is at 6 p.m.

All B.C. Football Conference teams had the Labour Day weekend off, with the schedule resuming this weekend.

Kamloops enters the game still winless in the season, with a record of 0-3.

The Huskers are 3-1 and tied atop

the standings with the Vancouver Island Raiders.

Saturday’s game is a rematch, with Valley defeating visiting Kamloops 38-17 on Aug. 25.

Meanwhile, the BCFC has suspended three Westshore Rebels following a brawl between the Rebels and the Raiders in Nanaimo on Aug. 25.

Cordell Holder has been suspended for the remainder of the season, includ-

ing playoffs. Kolton Henderson and Cody Holmes have each been suspended for one game.

The suspensions came shortly after head coach Charly Cardilicchia was handed a three-game suspension for comments he made to KTW after the league cancelled a Kamloops-Westshore game last month due to poor air quality from wildfire smoke.

Cardilicchia later resigned.

Speedster Rainey’s future with Lions in doubt GEMMA KARSTENS-SMITH

THE CANADIAN PRESS

It remains to be seen if Chris Rainey is in the B.C. Lions’ lineup for Friday night’s home game against Ottawa — and the running back/returner is frustrated with the process.

Head coach Wally Buono said on Thursday the roster for the game was not set, noting coaches and management were weighing their options.

“We have to look at the ways we can get the most out of our players,’’ he said.

“At this point, we believe wholeheartedly that we can get more out of our return game.’’

Rainey is healthy, but did not work with the offence for the first two days of practice this week.

He was at training on Wednesday, when Buono said he was “attentive and working hard.’’

Any time a player is benched, there’s a reason for it, Buono said.

“Do I expect him to be happy?

No. Would I like him to be unhappy? Yes,’’ he said.

Rainey leads the CFL in allpurpose yards, putting up 1,525 so far this year.

He tallied 494 receiving yards and 226 rushing yards for the Leos last season and was named to the league’s all-star team in 2016.

The 30-year-old said he was “furious mad’’ when he heard that he might not play this week.

“I was so mad I could have flipped a car over,’’ Rainey said.

The Florida native added he has since calmed down and is focusing on being a team player.

“It’s out of my control so, hey, I’ll just go with it,’’ he said.

This is Rainey’s fourth season with the Lions, following a season with the Montreal Alouettes and

stints with the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts.

He signed a contract extension last December, but will be a free agent at the end of the year.

Rainey said he hasn’t talked to his agent this week about finding another place to play, but admits that he was tempted.

B.C. is looking for a win to turn around a lacklustre season that saw the team go 3-6 in the first half.

The team’s ready for the challenge, Rainey said.

“They look great this week.

I just wish we looked like this

at practice throughout the nine weeks. But, hey, it’s a new half of the season,’’ he said.

“We just got to take advantage of it.’’

The Lions are last in the CFL West. The Redblacks lead the CFL East at 6-4.

SIDELINES — The Lions and Redblacks will play Friday at 7 p.m. Other games this week include a trio of Labour Day rematches in Saturday: Hamilton at Toronto at 10 a.m., Saskatchewan at Winnipeg at 1 p.m. and Calgary at Edmonton at 4 p.m. All games are on TSN.

Whitecaps hope Dutch striker will help playoff push The Vancouver Whitecaps have added experience up front, signing Marvin Emnes of the Netherlands to a potentially long-term deal.

The club announced on Thursday that the 30-year-old striker/winger had agreed to an MLS contract for the rest of the 2018 season, with options through 2020.

Emnes started out with his hometown club Sparta Rotterdam in the Dutch Eredivisie league in 2005.

Since then, he has tallied 50 goals in 301 appearances across Eredivisie, the English Premier League, the Football League Championship and the Turkish Super League.

Whitecaps’ coach Carl Robinson said Emnes is a “quick attacking player’’ who is dangerous one-on-one and can

provide valuable experience in Vancouver’s locker room.

The Whitecaps (11-9-7) sit in seventh place in the MLS Western Conference, and are battling several other teams for a playoff spot.

The top six in the conference qualify for the post-season.

Every Friday in KTW!

It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister.

Q. Has Drake moved to the North Shore?

Sonia loved her family and always had many visitors over the summer months, all who enjoyed her hospitality and sunny days around the pool.

A. We’ve opened our second location in Kamloops! It’s the little white house at 425 Tranquille, right across from the Credit Union. We still have our place at 210 Lansdowne Street.

She leaves to mourn her daughters Paula and Danira (Neil), grandchildren Ashley, Sherisse and Myles (Teng), her precious great-grandson Malcolm and sisters Verna (Roy) and Wendy (Lloyd).

She was predeceased by her husband Gerry whom she loved to travel with and help out at pottery shows.

We love you and will miss you dearly. !

A Celebration of Life will be held at her home on G and M Road at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 9, 2018.

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race.

He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name.

“Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.”

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!”

And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!
