TRAGIC ACCIDENT CLAIMS LIFE OF KAMLOOPS TODDLER TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Toddler Sean Garratt died on Sept. 10, two days after a large TV fell on the boy in his Lower Sahali home. Mom C.J. Cantin and sister Elizabeth are left to pick up the pieces. Cantin said she wants parents to know their world can change in the blink of an eye.

A Kamloops mother is issuing a warning to parents after her oneyear-old son died in an accident at home earlier this month. Sean Garratt, who would have turned two in November, died after a TV fell on him on Sept. 8 while he climbed a dresser, according to his mother, C.J. Cantin. The unconscious toddler was airlifted to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver following the accident and was taken off life support on Sept. 10. “I think more people need to be open to what can happen in the blink of an eye,” Cantin told KTW. “More people need to be aware of the dangers in their home.” Cantin, a 24-year-old single mother, described every parent’s worst nightmare. She said it happened at about 6:30 a.m. in her Lower Sahali apartment. “I woke up to a loud thud and my daughter screaming for me — ‘Mommy, mommy, Sean fell down,’” Cantin said.

“I rushed into the room and the TV was on his head. I removed the TV and called 911.” Cantin said her son was still conscious at that point. “He was still crying,” she said. “His eyes were open and he was having seizures. He was crying for me. I still can’t get his little cry out of my head.” According to Cantin, Sean stopped crying in the ambulance on the way to Royal Inland Hospital. “I feel like his soul left his body in that ambulance,” she said. “I have to think that because I can’t imagine the pain he went through. I re-live that moment again and again.” Cantin said her three-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, later offered her more information about what happened. “She said, ‘Sean climbed,’” Cantin said. “What I can imagine is he was climbing up the dresser and maybe it tipped and the TV fell on him. “It confuses me because I weighttested it.”

Naturalists wary of sharing space CITY YET TO DECIDE WHAT WILL REPLACE THE FORMER GOLF COURSE ON MAC ISLE JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

After wrapping up consultations regarding the future of the former McArthur Island Golf Course, city staff expect to have a report to council in the next month or two. The Kamloops Naturalist Club and Kamloops Disc Golf Club told KTW the city will be recommending a mixed-use park space, complete with a disc golf course. Other options could also be on the table, with council ultimately having the final say. “I believe they [city staff] are going to include a couple of other options, but that’s not what they’re recommending,” Kamloops Disc Golf Club president Ben Laidlaw said. Staff have been meeting with the naturalists and disc golfers in recent months after the city regained control of the nine-hole course. Bill Bilton, who operated the track for 25 years, gave up his lease following flood damage and the city put out a call to the public to help decide the fate of the 7.5-hectare area. Topping that list was a natural, passive area with trails and an educational component, while the second-most popular idea was a disc golf course.

The Kamloops Disc Golf Club has been seeking a space for some time to add a new course due to demand in Rose Hill and a desire to attract larger tournaments. It previously conceded space in Juniper (for a bike park) and Westsyde (for a dog park) and lost a course behind TRU. Despite reservations from the naturalists about combining passive and active spaces, council decided in May to have staff work with the two user groups to develop and cost out plans that would come back before council. The final meeting was held last Friday and the disc golfers feel the city has worked out a fair compromise between a disc golf course encompassing the whole property and a full-scale nature park. “The recommendation falls somewhere in the middle,” Laidlaw said. The naturalists, however, are unhappy with the idea. They envision wildflowers, viewing platforms and educational signage, similar to Scout Island in Williams Lake, and maintain disc golf is incompatible with a passive nature park, causing distractions and damage. “We definitely weren’t able to come up with a joint plan moving forward,” Kamloops Naturalist Club director Jesse Ritcey told KTW.

The club created a design concept for its vision, circulated it online and said it will be included as another option for council to decide upon going forward Ritcey said the club has received “a lot of support.” The disc golfers argue, however, the naturalists’ proposal would leave a significant portion of the space unused. “Disc golf as a sport only exists because it can co-exist well in those type of multi-use parks,” Laidlaw said. Ritcey refutes the proposal being pitched as multi-use, arguing a disc golf course is applicable to only one sport. Laidlaw could not provide numbers for how many members it has in its club nor how many disc golfers are in the city. As the green space continues to divide the two groups, the city’s parks department remains mum on the issue, noting it is premature to comment before a report goes before council. McArthur Island is home to myriad recreational activities, including soccer, baseball, softball, curling, hockey, skateboarding, boating and lawn bowling. It also includes a butterfly park and walking trails, which resulted from an earlier partnership between the city and the Kamloops Naturalist Club.

MOVING WITH CHILDREN The $3.7-million path through Peterson Creek Park will connect Sahali with downtown.

Following separation, parents frequently want to move or relocate to a new community with a child or children in their care. Proposed relocation or mobility issues can be among the most emotional issues for families to deal with.

KTW FILE PHOTO

Path to open within two weeks JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Peterson Creek Park multi-use pathway is expected to open to the public late next week or early the following week. “We’re all excited for it to be open and usable,” City of Kamloops utilities engineer Liam Baker told KTW. Paving was completed Tuesday on the 1.7-kilometre pathway connecting pedestrians and cyclists from Sahali near Sa-Hali secondary to downtown

Kamloops near Glenfair Drive. Final touches include work along the shoulder and some restoration activity. While the project experienced delays and additional costs of $350,000 due to excessive groundwater, Baker said there have been no further issues and the geotechnical engineer has been happy with construction. “All the stability issues have been addressed,” he said. The project also experienced delays associated with the wildfires that occurred in the summer of 2017, due to a ban on the

use of machinery in city parks. The project costs amounted to $3.7 million, partially funded by a $1-million grant from Bike BC. While a summer opening was initially pegged, Baker said the pathway will be accessible through fall and winter. He expects plenty of use in the next little while. “It’s like any other multi-use path in town,” Baker said. “Similar to Highland Road and others in town that are used in the winter.” A public grand opening will likely take place in late October.

Under BC’s Family Law Act, where a parent wants to relocate with a child or children, and the move would aﬀect the current child custody and access arrangement, written notice must be given to the other parent. The other parent then has a period of time to oppose the relocation by ﬁling an application.

Alberta company wants to fill Greyhound’s void in city CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

KTW EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

An Alberta-based company has applied to fill the void to be left by Greyhound. Greyhound will cease all service in Western Canada, save for a Vancouver to Seattle route operated by its U.S. arm, as of Oct. 31. Ebus, a scheduled passenger motorcoach company that has been operating in Alberta since 2011, has applied to the province’s Passenger Transportation Board to begin service between Kamloops and Vancouver, Kamloops and Kelowna and Kelowna and Vancouver. Ebus and Red Arrow, luxury coach service, are owned by the Pacific Western Transportation Group of Companies. Ebus is proposing to run three routes. Route A would see a minimum of two round-trips per day from Kamloops to Vancouver, using the Coquihalla and Trans-Canada highways, with stops in Merritt and Abbotsford.

Route B would see a minimum of two round trips per day between Kamloops and Kelowna via Highway 97, with a stop between the two cities in Vernon. Route C would see a minimum of two round-trips per day between Kelowna and Vancouver using the Okanagan Connector, with stops in Merritt and Chilliwack. John Stepovy, the company’s director of business development, told KTW the firm believes the routes can work because of Pacific Western’s 40-year focus on transporting people, noting there will be no freight service with the accompanying multiple stops along the routes. Ebus will have stops in a few larger centres along its passenger routes. While there has been no word on when a decision on the application will be made, Stepovy said the goal is to have the Ebus service begin as soon as Greyhound departs and have no gaps in service. There will be no main depot, as exists now with Greyhound. Instead, Stepovy said, the company

hopes to partner with local hotels to establish departure and drop-off kiosks, as is done in Alberta. The cost of a trip on an Ebus to Kelowna and Vancouver would be similar to current rates at Greyhound, Stepovy said, though prices have yet to be finalized. He said the company will be posting jobs for drivers and customer-service representatives, noting there is also the potential for partnerships with ride-sharing companies in the region to get people into Kamloops from outlying communities. The Passenger Transportation Board is also looking at an application from a Merritt-based company that wants to offer a reservationbased service between Kamloops and Merritt, Kamloops and the Highland Valley copper mine, Merritt and the Highland Valley copper mine, along with routes elsewhere. In addition, Rider Express Transportation of Regina has applied to operate once-daily scheduled service between Alberta and Vancouver, with a stop in Kamloops.

The court may make an order either permitting or prohibiting the move. For the Court to approve of such a move, the parent desiring to relocate with the children must show that the move is in good faith, that it serves the best interests of the children, and that all options for keeping the existing custody and access arrangement have been explored.

Mom hopes story will save others heartbreak From A1

Cantin described the television as “an old-style, bulky TV,” with a screen of about 32 inches, not a sleek flat-screen television. It sat atop a dresser in the bedroom shared by Sean and his sister. Cantin said the TV was very heavy — too heavy, she thought, to be moved by a toddler. “I grew up with these,” she said. “My mom had one on her dresser. We were always around them and we didn’t go near them.” Cantin said she is now packing up and moving to a new apartment, unable to remain in the home where the accident occurred. Her employer, McDonald’s, has

allowed her to take leave to deal with the situation and her daughter is staying with a relative until the move is complete. “It’s been a rough

week,” Cantin said. “I’ve been trying not to let the depression take over or the anger take over because I’m trying to be strong for her.

“I just hope my story will touch someone else and maybe they will make a change and I can save another family from heartbreak.” Cantin said she is also remembering her son. “He was my little boy,” she said. “He loved to play. He climbed on everything and jumped on everything. He was my little daredevil. “Every morning, he climbed on me and gave me snuggles and gave me kisses and I’m

never going to have that again. And I feel like I let him down. I failed him as a mother. “My job is to protect him and I didn’t do it.” Cantin’s family has stepped forward to provide support. Cousin Lisa Gilroy told KTW the accident has shocked relatives. “It’s devastating,” she said. “It’s like it’s not real. How did this happen? Oh my God. This could have been my baby. It could have happened to anyone’s baby. It’s not real.”

Gilroy described Sean as a delightful child. “Sean, he’s very playful, very happy — always happy,” she said. “The reason this happened is because he’s climbing up on stuff. He’s doing what babies do, exploring his world and definitely exploring his boundaries, testing his boundaries, which is how it happened.” Gilroy started a GoFundMe account for Cantin in the days following Sean’s death. She said the idea came to her as she thought of a way to support her cousin in her time of grief. “I’m sitting here thinking, ‘I feel so helpless — what can I do to help C.J.? She’s lost her baby,’” Gilroy said. “She’s a single mother, she doesn’t have very much money. I didn’t know what else to do, so I decided a GoFundMe might be a good idea.” Gilroy said the account, which can be

found online at gofundme.com by searching “Baby Sean Kamloops,” has gained some traction among family and friends. The family’s focus, Gilroy said, is on Cantin and her daughter and making sure they have the support they need. “I know C.J. is worrying about being judged for what happened, especially after choosing to tell her story publicly like this,” Gilroy said. “Obviously, it was a preventable accident. It’s awful. But now we’re looking around our house with new eyes, thinking ‘How can I prevent something like that from happening?’ “And I think that’s the point she wants to make.” The investigation into Sean’s death is in the hands of the BC Coroners Service. A public celebration of Sean’s life is scheduled to take place on Nov. 13, on what would have been his second birthday, at Lii Michif Otipemisiwak, 707 Tranquille Rd. on the North Shore.

TRU to decide on policy that would ban cannabis MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University is set to finalize a policy next month that would ban the smoking of recreational cannabis on campus. A consultation period on the proposed changes to the university’s policy on alcohol, cannabis and tobacco closed last Friday after being open for comment on the university website since the end of May. TRU spokeswoman Darshan Lindsay couldn’t speak to how much feedback was received, but said the response from students, faculty and staff

“wasn’t overwhelming.” Lindsay said the university told staff and students of the opportunity to provide feedback on the policy through it’s “normal processes,” which she said involved sending out emails and reaching out to the students’ union. Those comments are now being reviewed to determine if they will necessitate any changes to what was proposed, Lindsay told KTW. From there, it will be determined if the policy moves ahead to senior administration for adoption or back to the president’s council for further review. The draft policy was posted on the university’s website for feed-

back between May 25 and Sept. 14. A consultation process is normally open for just two weeks, but in recognition that the spring semester was ending, more time was allotted to collect feedback, Lindsay said.

She said a first-time offence for smoking recreational marijuana on campus would likely lead to a warning — which is similar to other policies in place at the university. Any further infractions would result in a progressive process for discipline Lindsay said someone incurring a suspension would be “the outermost” step taken. While the policy will prohibit smoking recreational marijuana on campus, it won’t take a similar stance on alcohol or tobacco, which remain permitted in licensed premises and designated smoking areas. The policy will permit smoking medicinal marijuana in those des-

ignated smoking areas, provided the user can produce a doctor’s note. It also prohibits the sale of cannabis products. TRU psychology professor Chris Montoya — a member of the joint health and safety committee that voted unanimously in March to recommend classifying marijuana an “intoxicant” and banning its use on campus — told KTW he supports banning both marijuana and tobacco smoking on campus, but noted it is more difficult to retroactively ban cigarettes as opposed to getting out ahead of marijuana. The federal government will legalize cannabis in Canada on Oct. 17.

Two more government pot stores planned for Kamloops JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two more government cannabis stores are expected to open in Kamloops. City hall has received applications for BC Cannabis Stores in Lansdowne Village Shopping Centre downtown and in Northhills Centre on the North Shore. The city earlier received an application for the previously announced Columbia Place Shopping Centre location, which will be before Kamloops city council on Oct. 16, one

day before marijuana is legalized in Canada and that store is expected to open. City development manager Rod Martin said the locations are fully compliant within the city’s cannabis store zoning rules. Private stores will be restricted from opening within 100 metres of the proposed locations. “There still will be quite a bit of opportunity for private stores,” Martin said. The city has yet to receive any private applications, but is expecting at least a couple by the end of the week, both in North Kamloops.

Coun. Denis Walsh has also told KTW he is working through the red tape and intends to open a cannabis store in space next to his Movie Mart in downtown Kamloops. “His first step will be to apply through the province and then the province will send us a referral,” Martin said. The Columbia Place Shopping Centre cannabis store next to Save-On-Foods is expected to open on Oct. 17 and will at the time be the lone legal government cannabis store operating in B.C. Martin said the other two government stores will come to Kamloops and open at a later date.

ON THE BUS AGAIN IN KAMLOOPS?

t appears Greyhound’s decision to drive its buses into the sunset on Oct. 31 won’t leave Kamloops without intercity bus service after all — if at least one of two scheduled services and/ or a reservation-based service are approved by the powersthat-be. Greyhound was a venerable company that ran multiple buses out of Kamloops, en route to various destinations. In recent years, however, Greyhound’s reputation sank, with complaints ranging from the maintenance of its buses and terminals to stories here and there of passengers being left on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere. When the company confirmed earlier this year that it was quitting Western Canada entirely, those who rely on intercity transportation were understandably upset. Enter Ebus, an Alberta service run by Pacific Western Transportation Group of Companies, which has been in the bus-transportation business for 40 years. The firm wants to expand to operate at least two runs per day that would take Kamloops passengers to Kelowna and Vancouver. There are also two other proposals to add intercity bus service to Kamloops. Unless the applications are seriously deficient, it is hard to imagine the province’s Passenger Transportation Board not approving one or more of the applications. If services are approved, might it mean jobs for some of those left in the lurch by Greyhound? Possibly, as Ebus director of business development John Stepovy told KTW that, pending approval, there will be job postings for drivers and customer-service representatives. Stepovy added the company is ready to begin service as soon as Greyhound leaves town, so as to minimize service gaps. The timing would be welcome for those needing to travel as the weather worsens and winter approaches.

Apathy reigns at polls

e can move thousands of dollars individually — and billions collectively — every day online. We pay bills, have our paycheques deposited, transfer cash to friends and allow companies and government to automatically withdraw money from our accounts via the internet. Our entire financial being is largely online and there has not been a mass catastrophe involving the siphoning of funds of the great unwashed. Why, then, are we not voting online? The last report on the issue in B.C. was issued in 2014. The Independent Panel on Internet Voting recommended against such a ballot method, noting that while online banking is routine, online voting carries with it “unique challenges that inevitably introduce a number of additional risks.” If voter turnout is such a concern — and it seems to be considering the dire warnings that have been issued in advance of the Oct. 20 civic election — why has this province not adapted with the technological times to have voters cast ballot in the comfort of their homes, on the screens of their choice? Again, the 2014 report concluded internet voting would not necessarily result in a spike in numbers at the polls: “The evidence for Internet voting to lead to increased voter turnout in British Columbia elections appears to be at best mixed and the panel is not convinced that introduc-

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS ing Internet voting in British Columbia will result in increased voter turnout at either the local or provincial government level in the long run.” In the past, municipal elections in B.C. were held in November. This year, the elections have been moved up by a month. That change, along with spending limits for candidates and a ban on union and corporate donations (meaning, in theory, less advertising and less public awareness), could mean record low turnout in elections that routinely have abysmal turnout percentages. George Affleck, a veteran Vancouver councillor who is not seeking re-election, asked the provincial government to immediately ramp up Election BC’s communications budget. In Kamloops, civic elections generally see seven of every 10 eligible voters choose to do anything but cast a ballot on voting day. While voter turnout in the Tournament Capital has risen slightly over the past three elections, it remains rather pathetic —

33 per cent in 2014, 30 per cent in 2011 and 28 per cent in 2008. (Last year’s byelection led to a 21 per cent turnout, but byelections at every level usually attract fewer voters than do general elections.) It’s hard to explain why voters in a city like Kamloops — a midsize community on its own, not cobbled together with a metropolis of neighbouring municipalities and their competing messages — has such weak voter turnout in civic elections. The city does not lack for campaign signs and the election gets intense coverage from all media outlets. For whatever reasons, the branch of government that most impacts you is largely ignored by you. So, what to do? If internet voting is not the solution, what can compel people to take a few minutes on a Saturday in October and cast a ballot? According to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, 27 countries have mandatory-voting laws, with penalties for not casting ballots ranging from fines to imprisonment. Turnout is higher, but whether ballots being filled out with thought remains a question long debated. The civic election will take place in four weeks. Will you vote? Why or why not? Do you have ideas for how to increase turnout? Send your thoughts to editor@ kamloopsthisweek.com. Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

FINDING RIGHT PROGRAMS FOR DIVERSE NEEDS Editor: Thank you for sharing the story about Antonio Ramunno, who created the Wallgym system after being paralyzed in an accident (‘An idea that has plenty of weight,’ Sept. 5). It’s exciting to see people take control of their health and selfmanage their conditions after they achieve optimized recovery through health-authority provided services. It is why Interior Health has partnered with the City of Kamloops, Kamloops Y and other local fitness agencies to help people find the right programs for their needs, including opportunities for people who are rehabilitating from serious injuries or illnesses.

During the first months after acute episode, patients spend time working with health-care professionals in various rehabilitation settings to realize their best potential. When they meet the stage where they are medically stable, our patients move into the community, under the care of health professionals who are able to develop their care plans in a more appropriate setting for ongoing rehabilitation. Before they leave the hospital, patients are supported to navigate what is available when they go home. These community programs also ensure specialized hospital services and equipment are available to new patients requiring

those important acute services so they, too, can rehabilitate to the best of their ability. Through the Strategic Health Alliance, the City of Kamloops and Interior Health support rehabilitation-exercise programming both in facilities and program development. Accessible recreation is available at the Tournament Capital Centre and both Kamloops Y locations. People with a chronic disease who want to continue or start exercising should also be aware that specially designed program options are available. Those programs are outlined on the City of Kamloops website under parks and recreation, chronic disease programming, on

PATH SUGGESTION IGNORED Editor: I was a member of the advisory group for parks in the City of Kamloops. Some of us attended the public meeting regarding the path now being constructed in Peterson Creek Park. I certainly brought to the city’s attention the problem with the wet marshy area near the top of the trail and suggested a boardwalk over this area. My suggestion was ignored, which has resulted in the project going over budget. It seems giving input at public

meetings is futile. There was already a good access trail, with the exception of approximately 2,000 feet at the very top. A paved, lighted road is much more than required for access in this area. Although a lighted and paved trail is nice to have, I think Kamloops needs to take a second look at its priorities. T. O. Moore Kamloops

the Keep on Moving website and on the Kamloops Y website. Exercising for life helps people stay healthy and Interior Health is proud to work with these community partners to help people reach the right level of fitness for their needs.

NSBIA wants wider-view election JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The North Shore Business Improvement Association wants the city’s business community to be top of mind for candidates running in the municipal election. “It’s about cutting through these red tapes to make the systems fluid,” NSBIA president Jeremy Heighton told KTW. Heighton hopes the two mayoral and 21 councillor candidates will look at the “big picture,” meaning neigh-

bourhoods outside of the city’s core, including North Kamloops, Valleyview and Dallas. “My concern is anyone that runs for council should be thinking of the big picture,” Heighton said. He noted improvements that can be made at city hall to help the business community include better access to building permits and business licences. He wants candidates to advocate for streamlining processes and paving the way for easier development

and improvements to city streetscapes. Last year, Heighton noted, a business came to Kamloops and made what Heighton called a “significant investment,” but it took almost six months to get the building permit approved, which added costs. Heighton said business owners need certainty about how long such matters will take. “That’s what I want people to think about, how do we make it easier to do business in town?” Heighton said.

Cavers wants a balance in schools MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Donovan Cavers said he is running for a seat on the Kamloops-Thompson board of education because there are a number of issues he wants to address, including the use of portable classrooms and the need for a better balance between neighbourhood schools and schools of choice. Cavers, who is taking classes at Thompson Rivers University as he plans to become a teacher, addressed the fact he is also running for re-election on city council. He said he feels confident he will have the time to serve in both positions, having sold his catering business. Double duty isn’t unusual, he noted,

pointing to the fact Clearwater Coun. Shelley Sim also serves on the board of education. In response to allegations his interest in seeking both seats is to collect two paycheques, Cavers said he intends to donate all of his school trustee pay — $19,920 — to charity if elected to both seats. On the issue of the use of portables in the school district, Cavers said it makes no sense to have dozens around the school district while schools sit empty. He said the creation of specialized schools in the district has led to a lack of focus on neighbourhood schools, resulting in students having fewer opportunities to connect with peers living nearby. If elected, Cavers wants a review conducted to ensure there is a healthy balance of

both types of schools being maintained. If elected to both offices, Cavers said he sees an opportunity to create better communication and more cohesion between city council and the school board. Decisions made by the school district impact the city, he said, noting the closure of Stuart Wood elementary coming at a time when Kamloops’ official community plan calls for densification. “I don’t think there’s ever been a true bridge that’s been able to draw the two organizations into better alignment,” Caver said. As the grandson of former school trustee Henry Grube and with parents who are former teachers, Cavers said he has had an longstanding interest in running for school trustee.

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Don’t forget to pack some change on your morning drive next Wednesday. Raise a Reader Day will see volunteers hitting Kamloops streets in bright orange T-shirts, hawking special editions of Kamloops This Week — with all money raised going to promote literacy in the city. Local celebrities, sponsors, sports teams, beneficiaries and staff are volunteering to hit the streets. Fiona Clare, literacy outreach co-ordinator for Literacy in Kamloops, said the annual event is the driving force behind her organization. “Basically, all our programs are supported with the money we raise in the Raise a Reader Day campaign,” she said “Without Raise a Reader, to be honest, Literacy in Kamloops would not exist. That’s where we get our funds for all our programs. So it is very important to us — and we all know how important literacy is.” Literacy in Kamloops, also called LinK, runs programs supporting literacy for all ages, Clare said, from

babies to adult learners. “In Kamloops, the money raised goes to KELLI, an early literacy program, and our one-on-one literacy programs, the Storybook program at KRCC (Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre), our Bright Red Bookshelves and Kamloops Partner Assisted Reading, which is one-on-one literacy for adults,” she said. Raise a Reader Day is a national initiative run through Postmedia Network,

with non-Postmedia organizations like KTW getting involved. Other Kamloops-area communities taking part include Barriere, Clearwater, Chase and Logan Lake. The money raised is used locally, Clare said, and goes a long way for LinK. “Based on what we raise, we also get a percentage of matching funds from the province,” she said. “Last year, we ended up at $116,000.”

A middle-aged Kamloops man who had sex with a 14-year-old boy he met on a hookup app has been ordered to spend a year in prison. Gardian Angel was handcuffed and taken into custody following his sentencing hearing at the Kamloops Law Courts on Wednesday. He had been free on bail following his arrest in 2016. Angel was convicted in May of sexually touching a person under 16 years of age following a trial in front of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Len Marchand, who said he found the accused’s testimony incredible. Court heard Angel and the teen met in July 2016 on Grindr, an app used by gay

and bisexual people looking to meet up. The teen was 14 years old and Angel was 53. They met once and engaged in sexual intercourse at Angel’s Aberdeen condo. “The aggravating factors are the complainant’s age, the significant difference in age between the accused and the complainant and the impact on the complainant,” Marchand said in delivering his sentence, also noting Angel has not shown remorse for his actions. “Mr. Angel has not taken full responsibility for his actions and apologized to the complainant.” Angel delivered a brief apology during a hearing in front of Marchand last week. The judge said it was not adequate given the circumstances of the offence. In court, Angel said he was the vic-

tim of childhood sexual assault himself. Marchand said that fact should have made him think twice before offending. “As Mr. Angel knows, the consequences of sexual abuse of children are often devastating and can last a lifetime,” he said. Once he is released from prison, Angel will be bound by an 18-month probation order with terms barring him from having contact with the complainant, being alone with anyone who appears to be under 16 and possessing a device capable of accessing the Internet or any kind of social media. Angel, who has no prior criminal record, was also ordered to surrender a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database and register as a sex offender for 20 years.

Police are warning the public about a phone scam in which people are told there’s a warrant out for their arrest. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said local Mounties have received numerous reports of the scam, perpetrated by someone claiming to be a police officer.

“The scammer informs them that there’s a warrant for their arrest,” she said. “They’re instructed to meet the police officers at an address such as a local shopping centre in order to pay for some alleged fines, or they’re instructed to deposit bitcoin into an account.”

Shelkie said the calls, in some cases, have shown the name and phone number of the Kamloops RCMP detachment (250-828-3000) on call display. “If you receive a phone call like this, hang up,” Shelkie said. “You will never receive

a phone call that tells you there’s a warrant issued for your arrest. Those matters are handled via paper documentation.” Shelkie urged anyone targeted by the scammers to contact the Canadian AntiFraud Centre at 1-888-4958501.

City councillor collars crook in downtown shed JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor barricaded a thief he found in his shed and held him until police arrived and took away the culprit. “I caught him,” Denis Walsh told KTW of the Wednesday morning excitement at his downtown home. “He had already started taking apart one of the bikes. He took the seat off.” Walsh said the incident occurred at 8:20 a.m. at his home at Second Avenue and St. Paul Street. A man had apparently broke the latch and entered the shed. Walsh, having spotted the thief, leaned against the shed door to trap the intruder inside, while hollering to his partner to call the police. “He was pushing out trying to get

through me,” Walsh said. “Then, finally, I said this is not gonna work. He’s gonna bust the doors. I just decided that we’d have a little wrestling match.” At the ripe age of 63, Walsh apparently won that match — holding the man’s hands and speaking with

him until police arrived. “I had [owned] Crossroads Inn and stuff. I kind of understand he’s in survival mode. He’s desperate, right?” Walsh said. “I’ve known people that are dangerous and I think I assessed it properly.” Walsh has lived downtown for a decade and said thieves have become increasingly more brazen as of late, with a similar incident two weeks ago that went undetected in the middle of the day. Walsh’s partner’s backpack was stolen from their porch at about 2 p.m. on a Saturday while the couple was home. Walsh had seen branches rustling while talking on the phone and said he could have caught the culprit. This week, however, he got his guy. “This time, I decided I don’t want him getting away,” Walsh said. “He’s going to obviously rob somebody else.”

Stone talks PR vote Kamloops SouthThompson MLA Todd Stone was at the Thompson-Nicola Regional District meeting on Thursday, offering directors an “impassioned plea” to encourage constituents to vote in the upcoming mail-in referendum on electoral reform and expressing concerns about the proposed systems and process. “I don’t expect that all of you share my perspective in return, but I wanted to come and convey to you my concerns,” Stone said. He said there is no greater question than how elected officials are elected and noted the importance of encouraging voter turnout to ensure the referendum has credibility. But Stone argued the provincial government erred in releasing information during the “summer barbecue circuit” and administering the referendum so close to civic elections. He recommended the referendum be held during the next provincial election. “What’s the rush?” he asked. Stone said proportional representation would result in less local representation and accountability, a shift of power to Vancouver. He also pointed to extremist groups receiving increased support, such as neo-Nazi MPs in German parliament. TNRD directors did not ask Stone questions regarding the presentation.

Rings and gold were among items pilfered from a compound in Dallas. Irreplaceable documents were also taken, which has prompted Ron Hegel to offer a reward for information on who was behind the burglary and where the items may be.

Reward offered in wake of burglary MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man is asking the public for information about a theft that may lead to the return of family heirlooms and other valuables he had stored in a safe. Ron Hegel lives in a fifth-wheel in a gated compound at the end of Klahanie Drive in Dallas and had been keeping the safe in an ambulance he stores on the property. Hegel said he believes the robbery occurred between 10 p.m. and midnight on Thursday, Sept. 6, while he was staying the night at a friend’s house. He discovered the theft the next morning when the RCMP called to tell him officers had recovered the ambulance he owns a short distance from his home. Hegel met Mounties at the scene, but the safe, which contained numerous items — including a pearl necklace he inherited from his mother, a diamond broach, gold nuggets and diamond rings — was missing. Hegel and an officer went to his compound, where he found the front gate had been smashed open. The door to his fifth-wheel was broken and items he kept in the vehicle were missing, including a computer, two camcorders, a radar

detector and a suitcase containing valuable clothing. Ignition switches on a quartet of four-wheelers also stored on the property were broken. The ambulance, Hegel said, appeared to have been successfully hot-wired and used to smash through the gate. “The front of the ambulance is smashed open and broken and the colour of the gate is all over the front of the grill,” he said. Hegel said a neighbour told him a man and woman were spotted at 4 p.m. on Sept. 6 crawling under the gate, after which they appeared to fill a backpack with items. Another neighbour had surveillance footage that showed a vehicle drive up to his gate at about 10 p.m. that same day. Hegel believes it is the same vehicle the other neighbour saw the man and woman drive off in earlier in the day. Hegel told KTW a substantial amount of personal information was also stolen. “My passport, my social insurance number, my birth certificate, my credit cards, all my banking information … everything. My entire life was stolen that night,” Hegel said. He is offering a reward for the return of the safe and the items that were in it. Hegel can be reached by phone at 250-851-6688.

TEMPTING TOMATOES

Calling all students from Grade 5 to the college/trades school level. If you have a dynamite business plan, Junior Dragons’ Den might be for you. Community Futures Thompson Country has partnered with Community Futures of Central Interior First Nations and is calling on all aspiring student entrepreneurs to present their business concepts and potentially compete in a live audition of Junior Dragons’ Den. Junior Dragons Den is modelled after the popular TV show

in which entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a group of venture capitalists. Students are required to submit a business concept paper for their business idea or business improvement idea (in the case of an existing business). The concept paper speaks to the who, what, where, when, how, why and start-up costs associated with the business concept, finishing off with why the applicant should be chosen to compete in Junior Dragons’ Den. Students can enter the competition from Oct. 1 to Feb. 8. A selection committee will review and shortlist the top 15 candidates for the

live pitch competition. Candidates will be matched with a local mentor to further develop their pitch and concept paper. The live competition of Junior Dragons’ Den will be held in Kamloops on April 4. Junior Dragons’ Den began as a West Kootenay-Boundary student business competition five years ago and has since expanded throughout the province, with two regional competitions and a championship. For more information on how to enter, call Community Futures Thompson Country at 250-8288772 or Community Futures of Central Interior First Nations at 250-828-9725.

Court asked to rule on Chinese characters on Vancouver ballots MATT ROBINSON

VANCOUVER SUN

VANCOUVER — A school trustee candidate is calling foul after learning only one Vancouver candidate has been permitted to include Chinese characters on the ballot for the municipal election. Sophia Woo, who has previously been a school trustee, said it is unfair. When Brandon Yan, a council hopeful for OneCity, submitted his nomination documents, he included a trio of Chinese characters as part of his usual name. Yan was not the only candidate to request his characters appear on the ballot, but he is the only candidate who received approval from the city and its chief election officer. Some candidates not of Chinese descent had requested Chinese characters on the ballot, but their requests were denied because they “are not the candidates’ usual name,” a city official said in a written statement. The city also received requests from ethnic Chinese candidates, including Woo, to include their characters on the ballot. But those requests were denied because they came in after the Sept. 14 nomination deadline had passed and the candidates list had been made public, according to the city.

Woo and Ken Denike, both Coalition Vancouver candidates for school board, have filed a notice of civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court. “What we’re asking for is fairness for all,” Woo said. “Nobody knew that we could do it [have Chinese characters].” Woo and Denike’s claim asks the court to order either that Yan’s Chinese characters be removed from the ballot or all eligible candidates be allowed to include theirs as well. Woo would prefer the latter. She said when Chinese media report on her, they use her Chinese name rather than the English name that is to appear on October’s ballot. That will be confusing for some voters, she said. The city is standing by its decision that it is too late to make changes. Yan is happy being caught in the middle of the battle against the city’s decision. “It’s frustrating to me as a candidate, especially as a first-time candidate who’s trying to run a campaign that’s about me as a renter trying to stay in this city, giving it my all, putting my heart into this platform … that we’re talking about a name on a ballot — a Chinese name on a ballot. “I can’t speak for other peoples’s experiences, but for me when I went to the office, they were pretty clear that that’s what I could do.”

The first is forecast to bring periods of intense rain through Friday with rainfall totals of up to 50 millimetres. A second storm, predicted to be on the heels of the first, is also expected to drop about 50 millimetres of rain.

A special weather statement has been issued, covering Metro Vancouver, Howe Sound, the Sunshine Coast and all of Vancouver Island except Victoria and the southern Gulf Islands. Kamloops is expected to be spared the wicked weather, with showers on Saturday and clouds in the forecast for Sunday ahead of sunny skies expected early next week.

Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre spokeswoman Katelyn Moores said search efforts are concentrated along the Highway 5 corridor between Valemount and Kamloops, looking for any sign of the plane with its pilot and passenger. The plane was flying last Friday from Edmonton to Chilliwack.

Military police re-opening 23 ‘unfounded’ alleged sex assault investigations

CANADIAN PRESS

LEE BERTHIAUME

OTTAWA — The federal government insists pot legalization will help the country snuff out crime — but internally it’s wondering what will become of the fuzzy world of illegal online weed transactions. In less than a month, Canada will become the first industrialized country to legalize recreational marijuana. The Liberal government has argued the end of cannabis prohibition will prevent criminals and, in particular, organized crime from getting their hands on the lucrative proceeds of Canada’s illicit grass market. But when it comes to illegal online cannabis transactions, the federal Public Safety Department is seeking outside help to learn more about the prominence of Canadian weed on mysterious platforms on the Internet’s “dark web’’ — known as “cryptomarkets.’’ A new tendering notice posted by the department says Ottawa is looking to commission a study that will estimate Canadians’ online cannabis transactions, identify behavioural trends and discuss post-legalization implications for policy and law enforcement. To stress the importance of the effort, the document notes that international research has pointed to Canada as one of the most prominent countries of origin when it comes to the shadowy online drug trade.

OTTAWA — The Canadian Armed Forces is re-opening nearly two-dozen cases of alleged sexual assault after reviewing dozens of files previously dismissed by military police as “unfounded.’’ The move comes nearly 18 months after authorities revealed that nearly one in every three sexual assault complaints logged with military police between 2010 and 2016 was deemed unfounded. That rate was higher than most civilian police forces, prompting defence chief Gen. Jonathan Vance in April 2017 to order a complete review of all such cases to ensure they were properly investigated. Much of the concern that has prompted the current focus on sexual misconduct within the military has revolved around complaints from victims that their cases were not handled properly. Previously, many incidents would have been handled by less experienced military police officers at whichever Canadian Forces base or facility the alleged incident occurred. Defence officials now say the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service, which investigates all major crimes in the military, reviewed 179 cases and confirmed 113 were unfounded — a designation applied when investigators determine an offence did not occur. Another 43 were found to have been

valid complaints that were properly investigated, but officials say there was not enough evidence to lay a charge. Military investigators are now poring over the remaining 23 cases to see if additional evidence can be obtained and charges laid. Lt.-Col. Kevin Cadman, the commanding officer of the military’s investigative service, is calling the review beneficial and ongoing work will ensure the Canadian Armed Forces and Department of National Defence have “the highest standard of policing service.’’ In addition, the military is working to set up a panel of outside advisers comprised of social workers and other experts to go back over all the files to ensure they were properly reviewed. That panel was promised at the same time Vance ordered the unfounded cases to be revisited, but officials have cited privacy concerns for the fact it remains a work in progress. Military commanders have grappled with the issue of sexual misconduct in the ranks since l’Actualite and Maclean’s magazines reported in April 2014 that a large number of military sexual assaults were being ignored or played down. Retired Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps led an independent investigation into the issue and her explosive report, released in April 2015, described an “underlying sexual culture’’ in the military that was hostile to women.

Ottawa to phase out single-use plastics CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — Ottawa used the platform of a G7 ministers meeting Thursday to announce it will gradually eliminate plastic waste from government operations, as business leaders spoke of how they’ll profit on waste. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said at the Halifax gathering that the federal government will eliminate “unnecessary single-use plastics’’ throughout government operations, including plastic straws, cutlery, packaging and bottles. She said Ottawa aims to collect, re-use or recycle at least 75 per cent of its plastic waste by 2030.

PERRY BELLEGARDE

Fate of NAFTA Indigenous chapter in limbo OTTAWA — The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations is raising concerns that a promised Indigenous chapter in a renewed North American Free Trade Agreement may not come to fruition.’ Perry Bellegarde’s recent letter to Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland adds to mounting concerns that the Liberals may ease demands for an Indigenous chapter in NAFTA as Canadian negotiators seek to bridge gaps keeping Canada away from a revamped deal. Bellegarde, who is part of an advisory committee on the trade deal, believes dropping the Indigenous chapter would be a lost opportunity for the country and set back efforts on economic reconciliation with First Nations. When NAFTA negotiations began 13 months ago, Freeland personally thanked Bellegarde for the suggestion of an Indigenous chapter, adding her officials were “very enthusiastic’’ about it. A spokesman for Freeland said Canada still believes in the principles outlined at the beginning of negotiations, but noted the government won’t discuss any specifics given the intense nature of talks. Canada and the United States are trying to renegotiate their portion of the three-country trade pact, which is tied to the fate of numerous jobs, under an Oct. 1 deadline to provide a text of an agreement to Congress.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Is a second Great Recession on the way?

en years ago this month, the financial services firm Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection, triggering the 2008 crash and the subsequent Great Recession, from which the world’s economies have still not fully recovered. Will we look back on this month as the turning point when U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war with China unleashed the second Great Recession? In the past week, the slow dribble of tariffs and counter-tariffs has rapidly grown into a full-fledged confrontation between the world’s two greatest economic powers. In July, the U.S. imposed tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese exports to the United States, extending them to another $16 billion of Chinese goods in August. China responded cautiously, announcing roughly comparable tariffs on $50 billion of U.S. exports to China in August. Trump deemed that unfair and, on Monday, he slapped a 10 percent tariff on another $200 billion of Chinese exports to the U.S., due to go into effect at the end of this week. He warned that if China retaliated again, he would impose a similar tariff on all the rest of China’s exports, another $267 billion. Trump also threatened to raise the rate of the tariff to 25 per cent if there is no U.S.Chinese deal that meets American requirements by the end of the year. Did he imagine this threat would force an autocratic regime like China’s to back down and lose face? Who knows? The Chinese replied hard and fast, announcing on Tuesday a new tariff on all the rest of America’s exports to China, worth some $60 billion. So, if Trump fulfills his threat and hits the remaining $267 billion of Chinese exports as

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH well, by next Sunday, all America’s imports from China and all China’s imports from the United States will be subject to tariffs. China, trying to lower the temperature, is keeping its tariffs on U.S. goods down to five per cent for the moment, but it can’t hold that line forever if the U.S. goes on ratcheting up the ones it has imposed on China. Trump has got the trade war he was clearly itching for and it’s a much bigger deal than his spat with the European Union or his bullying of Canada. We’re still not talking about cataclysms here as China’s trade to the U.S. accounts for less than a quarter of its total exports — and its exporters will still get paid for what they sell because the importer pays the tariffs. The same goes for U.S. exports to China, which are only onesixth of total American exports. In the long run, higher prices for Chinese goods in the U.S. might damage its market share there, with negative effects on employment in China, but that’s a slow process. The same applies to potential U.S. job losses due to declining exports to China. They won’t happen fast enough to have any impact on November’s mid-term elections in the United States. It’s the long term that counts, and this trade war will probably not be settled for a long time. Multi-billionaire Chinese businessman Jack Ma predicts it could last 20 years, which sounds a bit pessimistic, but as long as it lasts, it will poison rela-

tions between the world’s two greatest powers. Trump seems to think China’s economy is now so wobbly that the tariffs will push it over the edge, forcing it to come to the U.S., begging for mercy. It’s true that the Chinese economy is growing very slowly, if at all. Nobody believes the official figure of six or seven per cent annual growth. It’s also true that the Chinese financial system is as overloaded with bad debts as American banks were in 2008. But China is only a sham capitalist economy. If lost exports to the U.S. trigger a financial collapse in China — an unlikely, but imaginable outcome — Beijing would slam the doors closed on international capital flows, bail out the Chinese banks and flood the domestic economy with cheap credit. In this scenario, it’s international trade that would collapse, which wouldn’t be in anybody’s interest. Meanwhile, the regime of China’s president, Xi Jinping, would be stoking Chinese nationalism and blaming the United States for all the domestic misery. Indeed, Xi and the Communist Party hierarchy are coming to the conclusion that Trump’s trade war is designed to “thwart China’s rise.” There can be no compromise with the United States if that is the case. That’s not just Chinese paranoia. There really are those around Trump (and elsewhere in Washington) who are encouraging his obsession with the American trade deficit with China for exactly that reason. Yet his obsession is completely misplaced as 85 per cent of the sevenmillion American manufacturing jobs lost since 2000 were eliminated by automation, not by trade. This nonsense is going to go on for a long time and everybody will end up at least slightly poorer, but it probably won’t bring on the second Great Recession. It may, however, start the Second Cold War.

Hatton in Adopt a School program Arthur Hatton elementary is participating in the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation’s 2018 Adopt a School program. Coles in Aberdeen Mall and Chapters in Aberdeen Village will fundraise for the North Shore school during the three-week campaign, giving the school an opportunity to purchase new books and educational resources that are in short supply. Now in its 10th year, Adopt a School connects Indigo employees, high-needs elementary schools and their communities to fundraise locally and raise

awareness about the underfunding of public Canadian elementary school libraries. All participating schools receive every dollar raised for their school and are eligible for a donation match of up to $1,200 per school from the foundation. Last year, the program gave more than $1 million to Canadian high-needs schools for books and educational resources. This year, the foundation will provide support to local school libraries across the country, with more than 600 schools signed up to participate.

Arthur Hatton is one of 74 schools in B.C. taking part in the program, which also has an online component at adopta school.indigo.ca.

40 days of Peaceful Prayerful Vigil

Choose Life Sept. 26 â€“ Nov. 4, 2018

Sept. 26 - Nov. 4, 2018

Choose Life 40 Day Prayer Vigil is a focused campaign with a vision to access Godâ€™s power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil. Want to end abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide?

The first thing to do is pray. Prayer is at the centre of Choose Life 40 Day Prayer Vigil. During each campaign, we are calling on people of faith to fall on their knees before the Lord, asking Him to hear our plea and heal our land. (2 Chronicles 7:14). For more information go to www.40daysforlife.com The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christâ€™s resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge.

Maybe you even forget there are some valuable keys rattling around back there, keys to something vitally important. The Alpha film series provides a nonthreatening opportunity to consider and discuss some of lifeâ€™s big questions. Is there a God? If there is, why do bad things happen to good people? Does prayer actually work? If I get all the things I desire, will I finally feel happy? Jim Carrey once said, â€œI wish everyone could get rich and famous and have everything they ever dreamed of â€Ś so they would know that itâ€™s not the answerâ€? So, what is the answer?

thing to worship â€” be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles â€” is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive.â€? Are you tired of worshiping things that donâ€™t really bring you any deep joy, things that might be actually tearing you down? Alpha will not provide a lot of pat answers, but it will certainly get the conversation going over a good meal and a warm and accepting environment.

If you think Alpha is something you would like to attend, there

help of local collaborators. The 63-year-old American said cleaning up old cemeteries is his way, as a Christian, of honouring Holocaust victims while supporting the surviving Jewish communities here. He also hopes his mission can help alleviate the bitterness and misunderstanding that still festers sometimes between Christians and Jews. Reece said he is troubled by the failure of European Christians who mostly stood by passively as the Nazis marginalized, then persecuted and killed, their Jewish neighbours. â€œTo me, it means simply bring-

ing together people who are separated by distance, by space, by conflict,â€™â€™ Reece said, taking a break during a recent clean-up operation in Rohatyn, Ukraine, which before the war was part of Poland. â€œI saw the Jewish cemetery as a way to bring Jew and Christian together in a common place where they could work together with one another.â€™â€™ Outside Ukraine, Reece and his team cleaned seven cemeteries in Poland this summer, including one in Oswiecim, the town where Nazi Germany ran the Auschwitz death camp. Reece, who grew up in Texas and is now a resident of Peachtree Corners, Ga., said he is driven by a desire for justice that has been with him since his boyhood in the American South, where the mistreatment and segregation of Black Americans was instituted in law. â€œI was in the seventh grade when Martin Luther King was assassinated. That made a tremendous impact upon me,â€™â€™ Reece said during an interview in Warsaw. â€œAnd when I encountered the issue of Jewish Polish history, due to what happened here, I saw that there is a great injustice.â€™â€™ Part of his mission involves encouraging diaspora Jews to work with local volunteers in

Polish towns to continue the cemetery maintenance work. In 2010, he founded an Atlanta-based charity, The Matzevah Foundation, which takes its name from the Hebrew term for headstone. The foundation brings volunteers to Europe from the Brentwood Baptist Church in Tennessee and partners them with Jewish descendants to care for their ancestral cemeteries. Since 2012, his organization has carried out 28 projects in 14 different locations with the help of nearly 1,000 volunteers, including some 250 Americans, but also Israelis, local Poles and Ukrainians. The recent work in Rohatyn was organized by Jewish Rohatyn Heritage, an organization run by an American couple, Marla Raucher Osborn and Jay Osborn, who have been gathering Nazidamaged headstones scattered in the town and bringing them to the cemetery in Ukraine. Reece first came to the region in the late 1980s when he was on assignment in Poland as a photojournalist. After graduating seminary, he served for 12 years as a pastor in Warsaw and nearby Otwock, learning Polish and gaining a deeper understanding of what happened in Poland during the Second World War.

THE HEALING CENTRE OF HOLLYHOCK JANE CASSIE

TRAVELWRITERSTALES.COM

he ocean breeze caresses my face as I stand rooted next to the deck rail. Plying effortlessly through choppy waves, we cruise by evergreen islands that are rimmed with driftwood. The undisturbed setting is a welcoming change from the bustling city I left behind earlier in the day. Although there are quicker ways to access the northern Gulf Island of Cortes, the three ferry crossings from Vancouver provide me with the time I need to unwind. Leaving life pressures behind, I look forward to some relaxation and regeneration at the healing retreat of Hollyhock. For nearly 40 years, from May to October, people from all walks of life have been coming to this destination for similar reasons. “Our purpose is to provide a sacred space that inspires, nourishes and heals,” the general manager says. Whether attributed to the 48 acres of serenity or to the professional staff who also exude this holistic vision, I feel the magical vibes once inside the driftwood gates. My soft tundra footpath is flanked with Hollyhock’s brilliant signature blooms, as well as a bounty of nature that feeds the eye, body and soul.

DARCY MODIN AND GREG OSOBA PHOTOS A garden that soothes the soul and an ocean-view hot tub that allows introspection are just some of the wonders to be found at Hollyhock on Cortes Island.

Massive pumpkins that hide under clamouring vines will soon be puréed into heavenly soup. Delicate greens will meld with ripened tomatoes for tonight’s salad. Peppers will be chopped for grilling, flowers cut for bouquets. And whatever is left over will find its way back to this spectacular biodynamic garden. A trail leads to my cozy accommodation where, from beyond private quarters, I share a bathroom, unparalleled ocean view and stimulating conversations with two other guests. There’s no need to lock doors, no safes to hide valuables, no distracting TVs and,

like all other Hollyhock lodgings, our shoes are not privy to cross its threshold. Other earthy abodes and conference session houses are tucked amongst tall trees that dominate the hillsides. Although I’ve come for a restorative weekend, others are participating in pre-registered workshops that promise to enliven, deepen and inspire. The scheduled choices are abundant from categories such as the arts, business, wisdom practices and issues focused on well-being. Although my Hollyhock experience is filled with more simplistic activities, they also provide long-term

rewards. The pebble shoreline, just steps from my door, is perfect for beachcombing as well as reflecting. Early-morning yoga sessions stretch tired muscles while infusing a deep spiritual calm. There are forest walks to connect me with nature and optional kayaking tours to explore sea-life wonders. And, oh, the spa treatments. Enshrouded by evergreens, the heavenly Bodywork haven offers sensory pleasures second to none. The woodsy charm makes its way into four blissful treatment rooms and, through large picture windows, the only

neighbours are big, brown-eyed deer. I opt for two sensual delights out of the many spa-tacular choices. With Bruce at the helm of the combination massage, my gnarled muscles soon unravel, my worldly cares seem to dissipate and, by the end of it all, I feel as limp as a rag doll. While dissolving my pent-up tensions, he exudes genuine compassion and possesses incredible insight into my being. “Take time to be good to yourself,” he advises. “You deserve it.” I follow his command and return the next day for more.

Jocelan transports me to nirvana during a session of aromatherapy, when she chooses therapeutic oils specific to my needs. Some are designed to release tension, others help to emotionally ground me and all come to the aid of my inner attunement. Adjacent to this transcendental temple is a sanctuary in the truest sense of the word. Constructed out of materials from Hollyhock’s property, this house of meditation permeates a sacred ambience from within its hushed interiors. Although I’m not one to laze around, I find myself cross-legged here a number of times

during my stay. I also find opportunities to relax in the ocean view hot tub and, when night falls, the only illumination created is by flashlights and star-studded skies. It’s here that people mingle and share heartfelt thoughts. “This place is like being in the womb,” says Cedron from Seattle. “Or just like a cocoon,” responds a fellow from Toronto. I reflect, too, on my new sense of tranquillity and inner peace and look forward to sharing it with others back home. To learn more about Hollyhock, go online to hollyhock.ca.

Pet Connection

Here is why you should adopt your next pet

here is no end to the companionship, love and joy a pet can bring to one’s life. That is perhaps one reason why the number of pets surrendered to shelters each year so greatly upsets animal lovers. But the same places that house animals that were lost or abandoned can be the very locations where families find new pets to love. According to its most recent report, the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies says about 82,000 cats and 35,000 dogs were taken into Canadian shelters in 2015. Animal shelters, rescue groups, pounds, and humane societies are great places to begin searching for new companion animals. The organization DoSomething.org states that, each year, approximately 2.7-million dogs and cats are euthanized because shelters are too full and there aren’t

enough adoptive homes. Homeless animals outnumber homeless people five to one. While private breeders and reputable pet stores may have purebred animals that make great pets, to relieve the problems of relinquished or homeless pets residing in crowded shelters, prospective pet parents are urged to first consider adopting shelter pets. The following are reasons why adopting shelter dogs or cats is such a great idea. • Well-behaved animals: Most shelter pets end up in facilities not because of behavioural issues or something they did wrong, but due to circumstances affecting their owners, such as moving or divorce. That means there are thousands of housebroken, behaviour-trained pets just waiting for a new family. • Lower costs: When a person adopts a pet, microchipping, first immunization costs, neutering/spaying, and some vet costs may be covered by the adoption fee.

Plus, that adoption fee can be hundreds of dollars less than purchasing a pet from elsewhere. • Longer life expectancy: The Canine Journal says “mutts” or animals whose genetic makeup are a combination of at least two breeds, tend to have fewer health problems and live longer than their purebreed counterparts. But shelters also house many purebreeds for those who prefer to go that route. • Room for others: For every adopted cat or dog, room is freed up to take in more pets that need assistance. • Hurt puppy mills: Puppy mills produce pets in factorystyle facilities that seldom take the welfare of animals into consideration. Adoption hurts puppy mills’ bottom lines and helps fight against their inhumane breeding techniques. Animal shelters can be the first and last stop for animal lovers looking to welcome companion animals into their lives.

PETLAND PETS (REALLY DO!) MAKE LIFE BETTER!

, always Petland team c sti ta n fa e help make Meet th estions and u q r e sw n a er! ready to ets’ lives bett p ir e th d n a our guests’ ®

In 1996 I was celebrating getting a job at the new pet store in town. At that time Petland’s tag line was Petland... “where the sense of adventure never ends”... and goodness was that true! Not only was I learning how to look after all these beautiful pets, I had the amazing opportunity to match people with the right pets and meet the needs of both, a very important part of our mission statement! When our tag line changed to “Petland Pets Make Life Better,™” well I wasn’t as excited about that at first. Let’s face it, I was a lot younger and adventure seemed far more fun. But as time has gone on I have learned that pets really do make life better and over the years I have seen how our Petland Pets have made life better. I think what always strikes me is those moments where you know that you have made a positive difference in another human’s life. Sometimes that may just be putting a guinea pig into the arms of a five-year-old and they just start to beam! Or the time you show a grown adult that snakes aren’t slimy or scary but actually really soft and neat! I’ve helped people hold all types of pets over the years and there are those moments where you know that you have just made the absolute day of that person.

But the moment that really stood out to me happened just recently. A really good friend of mine came in with their significant other. They have just recently been diagnosed with cancer. Now this person is a superstar. They have totally taken on this diagnosis as a challenge and I trust that cancer should not have knocked on their door. But what struck me is this moment where I see them holding one of our kittens from the humane society. Just holding. Everyone around them is glowing and smiling, the kitten is purring and there was that magic. Cancer had no place here. All that existed was glowing love. Even though it was not realistic for them to take that kitten home, it was that moment of happiness that was needed. If you don’t have or can’t have a pet for one reason or another and you need a warm fuzzy moment, come over to our store and have a cuddle or hold that bearded dragon or relax while watching our fish swim. Trust me our Petland Pets (really do) Make Life Better. ®

New SPCA centre expected to open in December $6.5-MILLION PROJECT IN BROCKLEHURST WILL REPLACE CURRENT CRAMPED SPACE KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The BC SPCA expects the state-of-the-art animal care centre in Kamloops to open in December. Work is progressing on the $6.5-million facility on Tranquille Road, across from the entrance to Kamloops Airport. The centre will replace the cramped BC SPCA branch now in use on Eighth Street in North Kamloops. Community funds are still being collected to complete the project and donors can learn more by going online to spca.bc.ca/ highfive. Groundbreaking on the centre took place in February. The 2.2-acre property will house the 10,500-square-foot facility. The new centre will include a 2,340-square-foot spay/neuter clinic funded in part by PetSmart Charities of Canada “Our $114,000 capital grant is reflective of a shared belief between PetSmart Charities and the BC SPCA that spay and neuter programs have, and will continue to, play a critical role in reducing pet homelessness across the province of British Columbia,” said the organization’s president, David Haworth. Members of the Olynyk family of Kamloops are serving as ambassadors of the High Five capital campaign to raise the $700,000 in community donations needed to

complete the facility. The family includes Ken, Arlene, Jesse, Maya and Kelly, a forward with the NBA’s Miami Heat. “We’re excited that the new centre will help the SPCA do even more in our communities to provide life-saving care for animals,” Kelly said. “As a family, we are proud to be a part of this community effort to raise the necessary funds to complete the project.” This community animal centre will incorporate modern designs, including 12 shared apartments for dogs to encourage natural movement and socialization, five large cat rooms, designated areas for temperament and behaviour assessments and specialized isolation areas for sick and injured animals. The centre will also have a large retail area for pet supplies, a dog-wash station for the public, office space

for regional animal cruelty investigators and a multipurpose space for dog training, SPCA youth camps, workshops and other events for the community. “We are extremely excited about the new centre and are grateful to the provincial government, PetSmart Charities of Canada and all the generous animal lovers in Kamloops and surrounding regions who are helping us make this urgently needed facility a reality,” said BC SPCA CEO Craig Daniell. The branch in Kamloops cares for more than 1,500 neglected, abused and homeless animals each year and offers a wide range of programs to promote the welfare of animals. Funding for the new community animal centre includes $1.5 million from the provincial government. Those wishing to help with raising the final por-

Landscape shift reveals confident Blazers MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

uc Smith was not shy when declaring team goals after his Kamloops Blazers finished an upperbody workout at Sandman Centre on Tuesday. Either adrenaline and endorphins had him pumped up or he holds a genuine belief his club is poised for big things in 20182019. “The way things are looking right now, we could be pushing for home-ice advantage in the playoffs and maybe a division title,” said Smith, the 20-year-old forward who had career-highs in goals, assists and points last season. “That’s the goal in the dressing room right now.” Smith realizes the Blazers missed the playoffs last season and underwent a complete organizational overhaul — new management, new coaches — in the off-season, right? He does. And so do Nolan Kneen, a 19-year-old defenceman, and Connor Zary, a forward who turns 17 next week, but they expounded similar rhetoric to Smith’s in interviews with KTW. They said their team is a lot better this season and shifts in power in the B.C. Division have emboldened confidence. “Obviously, Kelowna won’t be as good as the past couple of years and I think we sort of showed that in pre-season,” said Kneen, whose Blazers were 2-0 against the Rockets in exhibition action. “I think Victoria will still be good. PG put up some tough games in pre-season, so it’ll be tough there. Vancouver will be pretty good this year. They’ll be tough competition.” The Rockets, who finished with 93 points and won the B.C. Division last season, may take a step back in 2018-2019, with key

KTW has been looking ahead to the 2018-2019 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign in a fivepart pre-season series. Part 5 delves into the changing landscape of the B.C. Division. Each story in the series is posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Parts 1 through 4 are also available in the pullout section of today’s (Sept. 21) edition of KTW. losses likely to include Kole Lind and Dillon Dube, both overage forwards expected to play pro hockey, and Cal Foote, an overage defenceman in the same boat. Forward Carsen Twarynski has aged out of junior hockey. Dube, Lind, Foote and Twarynski were Kelowna’s top four scorers in 2017-2018. Counting out the Rockets (0-4 in exhibition action) before the season is never a good idea, but it is not hard to see why many expect a new division champion to be crowned — and the

Kamloops Blazers’ forward Connor Zary: “We’re ready to go into battle for each other and come out with a B.C. Division title pretty much. That’s our goal.” The Blazers will open their regular season against Kelowna on Friday at Sandman Centre.

Vancouver Giants appear to be favourites to claim the throne, buoyed by a talented group of 19and 20-year-old players. “They’ve got some strong D-men, like [Matt] Barberis, [Dylan] Plouffe and [Bowen] Byram,” Kneen said. “They’ve got goaltending in [David] Tendeck and they’ve got lots of skilled forwards like [James] Malm. They’ll be tough to beat.” The Blazers will have little chance of pushing for a division title if they can’t take care of business in their own back yard. Last season, Kamloops posted a record of 12-20-1-3 in divisional matchups. Kneen said his team is primed to vault onto the provincial podium: “We have a better team this year. When we go to those places to play those teams, I feel like we’ll have more confidence and we’ll battle more, win those games and come out on top more often than not.” Victoria made a championship push last season, one that was

scuttled by injury and left it with a younger team this season. With Matthew Phillips, Tanner Kaspick, Tyler Soy, Noah Gregor and likely Lane Zablocki gone, the Royals look to be in rebuild mode, although they are certainly not devoid of talent. Forward Dante Hannoun, defenceman Ralph Jarratt and goaltender Griffen Outhouse comprise a commendable group of 20-year-olds that will lead on and off the ice. “You look at your team and you hope you’re catching up to those teams that have beaten you in the past,” Smith said. “Kelowna has lost a couple guys. Victoria has lost a bunch of guys. “When you start looking at how deep our team is going to be and how deep our young guys are and what kind of leadership we have, from the coaches down, it’s one of these things where it gets exciting for guys.” Prince George is in a building phase, still recovering from its all-in attempt at a championship

run in 2017, but won’t be a pushover this season and has gathered young talent that bodes well for its future. Josh Maser, 19, and Jackson Leppard, 18, are ones to watch up front. Joel Lakusta, 20, will lead a back end that saw little off-season turnover. The Blazers and Rockets will square off at Sandman Centre on Friday, the first regular-season game of the campaign for both teams. Kelowna will host the rematch on Saturday. Fans in Kamloops will get their first real look at a team making its aspirations heard across the league. “We have a lot of depth,” said Zary, who had 29 points, including 11 goals, in his rookie campaign last season. “Coming from last year, we learned with some ups and downs. We went through that. “We’re ready to go into battle for each other and come out with a B.C. Division title pretty much. That’s our goal.”

WORLD CHAMPION OSMOND THRILLS KAMLOOPS SKATING CLUB MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kiana Hayhurst seemed dazed. The 11-year-old Aberdeen elementary student was not alone. She was among Kamloops Skating Club members who enjoyed a seminar taught by 22-year-old

world champion and Olympic medallist figure skater Kaetlyn Osmond at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre last Saturday. Osmond took time to sign autographs and appear in pictures with club members, most of whom appeared starstruck when it was their turn to pose with their Canadian hero.

“I love teaching seminars,” Osmond said. “I’ve gotten the opportunity to teach a few across Canada. It’s really exciting every time.” Judging by huge smiles on faces of young skaters, they loved it, too. “To meet her, I was really happy,” Kiana said. “She was really graceful and really nice to us.” KSC president

Tara Garrioch has established a working relationship with Ravi Walia, Osmond’s coach. Walia taught a seminar in Kamloops last year. This year, he brought a special guest. “The kids are through the roof excited and it’s really inspirational for them,” Garrioch said. “Kaetlyn is the first women’s world

champion since the ‘70s. “I don’t think there’s ever really been someone of this calibre here for figure skating. And Ravi is just amazing. The kids respond well to him.” Claire Gagnon, 9, of Kamloops had her picture taken with world champion figure skater Kaetlyn Osmond (left) and her coach, Ravi Walia, at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Saturday.

An undermanned Scribes Rugby Club conceded victory to the Kamloops Raiders at Exhibition Park on Saturday. The teams went ahead with a match, which Kamloops won 72-7. The B.C. Rugby Union records will show the Raiders won 20-0, the automatic scoreline for a default triumph. Scoring tries for Kamloops were Dillon Alexandre (2), Rory McKerchar (2), Dave Marshall (2), Hamish Bingham, JJ Woldum, Steven Thomson, Adam Martin, Greg Thomson

and Wade Lavalee. Prop Greg Thomson booted six try-conversion kicks. The win over the East Vancouver side boosted the Raiders to 2-0 in BCRU Men’s Second Division play and leaves them tied atop the standings with Bayside of South Surrey and Burnaby Lake. United Rugby Club (0-2) of Coquitlam will make the trip over the Coquihalla this Saturday to play the Raiders at Exhibition. Game time is 1 p.m. Kamloops is aiming to be

PRESIDENT WEBSTER WANTS MORE FOR KAMLOOPS MINOR LACROSSE MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Minor Lacrosse Association president Brook Webster expressed several concerns in a conversation with KTW, issues he said have been brought forward to the City of Kamloops. Webster said it is becoming increasingly tough to find floor time early in the box lacrosse season, with ice staying in longer at Memorial Arena. Most other competing associations are practising indoor at some point in March, Webster said, enabling them to select teams well in advance of the season, which starts near the beginning of April. “We don’t usually get dry floor or use of Memorial until after spring break by about a week or so. That’s a concern,” Webster said. City parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam knows all too well about the space jam. “That’s a real challenge because we’re just going through the whole master plan for recreation for the city right now, that Linda Stride is lead-

ing, and we’re already hearing there is acute demand for dryfloor space, as well as for ice availability. Sometimes, the two aren’t very compatible.” In a perfect world, Putnam said, the city would have another mixed-use dry-floor facility, such as the Tournament Capital Centre fieldhouse. “That would be amazing,” Putnam said, noting he has never personally heard from the KMLA about concerns expressed by Webster. “It’s a challenge trying to keep up.” The KMLA president also thanked the city for allowing equipment to be stored in Memorial, but said the setup is cumbersome. “It’s only accessible when it’s open and you can’t get in there on certain weekends,” he said, noting the location of storage space in the rink is not ideal. Webster said another challenge facing his organization is a lack of lit fields in the city, a dearth that is adversely affecting field lacrosse programming in the fall. “Soccer consumes all the lit fields, so we get use of the ball diamond over in Charles Anderson and it’s fairly expen-

sive for what amounts to just using an outfield,” Webster said. The city has expressed concern over using diesel-powered lights. “We kind of get stymied. We’ve offered to light a field or help fundraise to light a field, just asking if we can get a field that’s ours to use,” Webster said, noting the association would also like to have a C-Can to help with storage. “The city staff are always great to talk and meet with. It just gets caught up somewhere after we meet. I’m sure every user group has requests.” Putnam said the city has invested money into lighting fields at Charles Anderson, Hillside Stadium, the Tournament Capital Ranch and on McArthur Island. “In the future, it would be great if the city did have another synthetic, multi-use field like Hillside,” Putnam said. “That would really help us satisfy demand long-term. “I’ve never been approached personally by the association asking about the outdoor field lighting. I do sympathize with their concern.”

Importance of NHL captains changing STEPHEN WHYNO

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ryan Johansen remembers how the Columbus Blue Jackets didn’t have a captain until one day it clicked and everyone knew it should be Nick Foligno. “There was just no doubt,’’ Johansen said. “It’s just one of those things you don’t want to force. You don’t want to rush. You don’t want to regret. Once someone is a very clear option to being named captain, then it’s usually done.’’ For more than a century, NHL teams have named one player the captain, equipment managers stitched a “C’’ on his jersey and, if all went well, he was

the one who’d accept the Stanley Cup and lift it first. It’s still a hockey tradition with special meaning at all levels of the game, but almost one third of the 31-team league could go into opening night without a captain, a

sign of the times that it’s no longer a necessity and certainly not a distinction that management and coaching staffs want to jump into without a lot of thought. It’s a hot topic right now in Toronto, where

the Maple Leafs haven’t had a captain since trading Dion Phaneuf in early 2016 and are in no hurry to designate one. Longtime Islanders captain John Tavares and 2016 top pick Auston Matthews are the leading can-

didates, and each say they are fine with general manager Kyle Dubas waiting to make a decision. “It’s very important to have a captain, but I also think the way Kyle’s handling it is the right way to do it because it doesn’t really make sense to just throw somebody the captaincy,’’ Matthews said. “It should have to be the right person. I think it’s honestly been blown up a lot this summer with our team with, ‘Somebody’s going to get it, who’s going to get it?’ But I think in the end they’re going to make their decision and it’s going to be the right one.’’ Sometimes the decision is not to have a captain at all. The New York Rangers reached the Stanley Cup Final without a captain in 2014 after trading Ryan Callahan at the deadline, and the Golden Knights did the same last year after not having a captain in their inaugural season. “For us last season all coming from different places, different teams, it was a good thing,’’ Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury said. “Everybody chipped in. I think we

had a good group of veterans who played a lot of games. I think all together we kind of took charge of helping try to lead the team. It worked out pretty good for us.’’ The Golden Knights lost in the final to the Capitals as Alex Ovechkin became the first Russian-born and just the third Europeanborn and trained captain to win the Cup. No team has won it without a captain since the 1972 Boston Bruins. “That tells you something,’’ said Minnesota’s Eric Staal, who was captain of the Carolina Hurricanes for six seasons. “Sometimes it can be overblown with saying you really have to have one or this player can’t handle this or that. I don’t think players change — or they shouldn’t — if they have a letter or don’t. ... I also think it’s a cool thing to be a captain or an assistant captain. It’s been part of the game for a long time. But every team chooses to do things differently.’’ Teams certainly aren’t afraid to make big decisions with their captains. Within the past two weeks, Montreal traded cap-

tain Max Pacioretty to Vegas and Ottawa traded captain Erik Karlsson to San Jose, Carolina abandoned its two-captain system and gave the “C’’ to Justin Williams and Florida promoted Aleksander Barkov to succeed Derek MacKenzie as captain. The Islanders (postTavares), Rangers (after trading Ryan McDonagh last season), Golden Knights, Maple Leafs, Sabres, Canadiens, Senators and Canucks (after Henrik Sedin retired) all have vacancies, and the Red Wings are in a similar spot because captain Henrik Zetterberg’s career is over because of injury. Consider them the AAA club because without a captain, three players are alternates each game. “I don’t think that every team needs to have a captain,’’ Buffalo’s Jack Eichel said. “It’s good to have somebody that makes the executive decision at the end of the day. But if you have enough good leaders on a team, I think that if they’re all on the same page, it kind of works as just serving as a group of captains.’’

Stankoven to make Thompson debut MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Logan Stankoven’s arrival has boosted the profile of the Thompson Blazers, who begin the B.C. Major Midget League season this weekend. Thompson will play host to the Vancouver North West Hawks. Game times at Sandman Centre are 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sunday. “[He] Logan is one of the, if not the, highest-profile players to join the program in a long time,” Blazers’ general manager George Cochrane said

of the 15-year-old Kamloops product. “Everybody is pretty excited. There is a lot of interest around the team. We’re cautiously optimistic we can continue to move forward.” Heading into the 2016-2017 season, the Blazers had won 72 of their last 400 games and had not reached the postseason since 2005-2006. The club took a big step last season when it qualified for the playoffs and it catapulted forward when it landed Stankoven, whom the Kamloops Blazers used the fifth overall pick on in the WHL Bantam Draft in May. Thompson also snared

Tyson Galloway, who was selected 25th overall at this year’s bantam draft by the Calgary Hitmen. Galloway, a D-man from Kamloops, is expected to be in the lineup this weekend, along with Stankoven. The Blazers lost a pair of promising prospects before the season, as Medicine Hat Tigers’ draft pick Talon Zakall, from Merritt, and Austin Spiridakis, a 2002-born forward from St. Albert, Alta., were picked up by junior A teams. Tickets for Thompson games are $5 for adults and $2 for students.

Logan Stankoven has brought unprecedented attention to the Thompson Blazers.

She was a well loved and an influential person in her community. Susan was a beautiful wife and mother that loved her family wholeheartedly. She will be missed dearly.

A loving husband, an amazing father, the greatest grandpa and a best friend. None of us can believe that it’s been 10 years since we last saw you, since we last kissed you, since we hugged you and since we laughed with you. Things are no different today than they were on September 25, 2008 in that, we are sad, we miss you, love you, and we won’t ever forget your compassionate soul. In these 10 years we’ve spent days and nights crying thinking about you. You gave us so much love, so many amazing memories and even though you’re not physically here with us you have and you will continue to live on in all of our hearts, so long as they continue to beat.

Susan is predeceased by her husband of 42 years Lee, survived by her children Jamie, Nick, Robynn and Cody, mother Terry and siblings Rick, Emily, Ken and Kathy, as well as many grandchildren.

Love forever,

It is with immense sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Clint Greffard at his home at the age of 54 on September 9, 2018. Predeceased by his father Adrian in 2016. Survived by his mother Audrey Greffard, loving wife Crystal, brother Dale (Deanna), nieces Kate and Jessica Greffard, plus many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Dedicated, expressive and intense, no matter what art he was pursuing. Whether it was music (as a drummer), skateboarding, tennis, video, photography or creating a company. Bodybuilding was his most recent discipline and with it he gave generously as a coach, instilling confidence in athletes young and old. He gave only the truth about the dedication it took to reach a goal and was always ready to support and share knowledge with those who truly wanted to improve their lives and reach their full potential.

He was a huge inspiration to countless people who followed the page created by him and Crystal; Physically Cultured, which showcased training, health, food and the art of bodybuilding. This page will continue on with the shared knowledge and content he would have wanted to put out into the world.

Deceased: August 31, 2018 Kamloops, BC

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 22, 2018 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at 685 Sydney Avenue, Kamloops in the back entrance. Friends and family are welcome.

Sadly missed but never forgotten.

Yvonne Liza Hauge

You are deeply missed Mary, yesterday, today, tomorrow.

Clint strove to have no regrets and lived life never holding back. He would suggest the same to everyone.

I received my diploma as a funeral director/embalmer from College of Rosemont in Montreal in 1989. I moved to beautiful BC in 1996 and have had the opportunity and honor of serving many families throughout the Kamloops, Merritt and North Thompson area for the past 16 years. In my spare time, I enjoy riding the Kamloops mountain bike trails, camping with my family, golfing and skiing at Sun Peaks.

Roberta Frances “Bobbie’” Elliott, was born in the family home in Willoughton, Lincolnshire, England on February 13, 1941. She immigrated to Canada in 1947 with her family and they settled in Salmon Arm, BC. Bobbie graduated from J. L. Jackson High School in 1959 and moved to Kamloops, BC. She spent the rest of her adult life in Kamloops until her passing on September 15, 2018.

He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb so he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered “Peace be thine”.

All while prioritizing the well being, health and mindset of every student.

EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Thank You

Her legacy is priceless! And her farewell is affordable.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

URBAN ART (2000) is one of 26 murals on display as part of the self-guided tour organized as part of Culture Days. Explore downtown’s back alleys using a map and guide provided by the KCBIA. SEAN BRADY/KTW

Museums, music and murals at Culture Days in the River City SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

ulture Days are on again. The national weekend of culture-related events includes a number of stops of interest in the RIver City and offers plenty to do. If you’ve left downtown’s back alleys unexplored, the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association has a route mapped out for you. A map dotting 26 murals painted in downtown back alleys is available on the KCBIA website for a self-guided tour exploring the works of local artists who have embraced entire buildings as their

media. For a map and guide to the works, go online to downtownkamloops.com. If you’re after something indoors, two museums have plenty of culture on offer. At the Kamloops Museum and Archives, 207 Seymour St., a highlight tour will explore the stories behind some of its favourite artifacts big and small, from a fur trade cabin to a photograph from 1871. Also on at the Kamloops Museum and Archives is a pop-up interactive display called That’s What She Said, a preview of women’s history month in October. Other events on at the museum include a mini lecture on

19th-century B.C. photographer Benjamin Baltzly, charcoal-leaf rubbing, collage-postcard making and mystery artifacts asking for labels. At another museum, explore Japanese Canadian history at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre in an event new this year. Lance Yamada, a board member with the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association, said the museum contains things of interest in Kamloops’ Japanese Canadian past, including features on Japanese athletes, like those on the North Kamloops Mohawks baseball team of the 1950s. The museum will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday.

Yamada has other plans, too. On again this year is a Taiko drumming workshop open to the public. Yamada was a drummer in a band for 15 years and said when he made the switch to Taiko he found it was a lot more fulfilling. “It’s way more fulfilling and you get exercise and it’s really good for the mind,” he said. When the workshop meant for beginners started three years ago it had five or six participants, but last year ballooned to 15. “Everybody is on the same page and the idea is to just have some fun,” he said. That event will take place Friday from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at

the Kamloops Japanese Cultural Centre, 160 Vernon Ave. If you’re in the mood to move, dancing is on at the Old Courthouse. Dance groups Lindy in the Loops, Sun City Swing and Dance With Me Kamloops will host a night of lessons and demos Friday from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. If you’re interested in the Lindy Hop, cha-cha or west coast swing, RSVP for an evening of dance set to the music of Beyond Brass at the Old Courthouse, 7 West Seymour St. For a complete list of events on in Kamloops as part of Culture Days, go online to culturedays.ca and search for events by city.

Attendance at Kamloops Art Gallery takes hit amid renovations long-term gain.” “The new entrance [off Victoria Street rather than Fifth Avenue] for the gallery will provide us with much-needed reception space and enhanced programming and event space,” Chrumka said. “Not to mention a cafe, which is fantastic for our visitors.” Chrumka also noted 2018 marks the Kamloops institution’s 40th anniversary. She said the city punches well above its weight, inspiring programs at other institutions. In 2017, KAG welcomed 34,000 visitors to the gallery, who took in 11 exhibitions, 263 artmaking workshops and more than 40 presentations by artists. “For a gallery of our size in a city our size, this level of participation is remarkable and noted across Canada by our colleagues,” Chrumka said. KAG is working on its annual after-dark new-medium event, Luminocity, which returns from Oct. 12 to Oct. 20, with events taking place each evening. It will feature works from more than 20 artists.

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

amloops Art Gallery attendance has dropped by 20 per cent due to renovations to the library and front entrance of its building at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue downtown. “For most of 2018, we’ve been impacted by renovations,” KAG executive director Margaret Chrumka told Kamloops council on Tuesday. Chrumka was at city hall to provide a review of 2017 and an update on 2018. Construction continues at the TNRD Building, which houses the Thompson-Nicola Regional District headquarters, the art gallery and the library — with the most recent update revealing tiles had been put down in the lobby. KTW has not heard back from the TNRD about when construction will conclude. While Chrumka noted the drop in attendance, as well as in its store, Chrumka called the renovations “short-term pain for

Renovations have caused a drop in attendance, but gallery executive director Margaret Chrumka said it’s “shortterm pain for long-term gain.”

Kamloops soldier’s story among those in new book on Great War KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A new book of Canadian poetry and creative non-fiction was released on the 100th anniversary of Canada’s 100 Days — the final hundred days of the First World War. The book includes a number of stories about soldiers from B.C. and their actions overseas or their recoveries back at home. Tweets from the Trenches: Little Stories of Life & Death on the Western Front came from author Jacqueline Larson’s experience of digging into the history of her two grandfathers who fought on the ground throughout the Western Front as part of the 100 Days Offensive that took place from Aug. 8, 1918, to Nov. 11, 1918. “My aunt gave me the trench journals and letters of her dad, George ‘Black Jack’ Vowel, as well as two books of the First World War era that mentioned him, written by his main correspondent, Irish author Louisa ‘Bebe’ Watson Small Peat,” Carmichael said. “Before that, I didn’t know anything about him, other than that my grandparents had separated and that he could be cranky. He died before I was born.” The 168-page book is written in documentary creative non-fiction and fea-

tures short stories and illustrations about many Canadians. Of note to those in Kamloops is the story of Edward Ballew and his receipt of the Victoria Cross. While Carmichael was working as a journalist for the Edmonton Sun, she found herself thinking about the terse notes her grandfather left and thought they would make for fascinating social media posts.

As an experiment, she gave him a Twitter account of his own, @blackjackvowel and #albertaWWIsoldier, and around Remembrance Day posted in his name on Twitter and Facebook as if he were posting from the trenches of Flanders, Belgium and France. “I was struck by the compelling simplicity of his words. He wrote things like, ‘Delivering rations to the front/dodging bullets and mortar fire both ... Bullets ripped the dirt up all round me but none of them were marked Black Jack,’” Carmichael said. “I envisioned him as @BlackJackVowel or #AlbertaWWISoldier, ‘hunkered down under a hunk of tin’ amidst pouring rain and artillery fire, desperately trying to be safe, while using a smartphone to communicate with loved ones a world away. I thought perhaps using a dominant modern tool like social media would help people reconnect with history, and I was pleased to find people taking an interest in this anachronism — a Canadian/ American soldier with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, posting desperate messages from a century earlier,” she said. In 2016, on a travel writing research trip, Carmichael traveled to Belgium, France and Germany, and walked por-

tions of the Western Front where both her grandfathers were soldiers for most of the duration of the First World War. She crouched in a trench at Passchendaele, she stood on the heights at Vimy Canadian National Memorial, she looked up at the Cologne Cathedral her grandfather had been amazed by almost a century earlier — and she paid tribute at graves where his comrades laid their lives down, and at the Menin Gate where the names of thousands of soldiers missing in action are memorialized. The project took a literary turn when the long-time journalist became fascinated with poetry as a means of storytelling. From Edith Cavell, a nurse executed in German-occupied Belgium for rescuing British soldiers, to the men who were “shot at dawn” under charges of desertion or cowardice, there are many thousands of such accounts. The book also includes short tales of domestic animals who played a vital role in the war — Sgt. Stubby the war dog and Cher Ami, the carrier pigeon with medal. Carmichael puts the book’s pieces in chronological order for readers and uses a timeline as chapter headings to help orient the stories year by year in the bigger picture of the history of war.

Winning turtles plucked from the South Thompson The Kamloops Children’s Arts Festival was held alongside the annual Volkswagen of Kamloops Turtle Race in Riverside Park last weekend, with kids and adults alike braving the chilly and wet elements to have some fun. The arts festival featured an array of interactive activities, while the turtle race — in which people bought plastic turtles to race down the South Thompson River — raised $21,000 for Western Canada Theatre’s youth programming. There were two races held. In the first race, PC Doctor’s turtle finished first, winning a WestJet flight for two, Save-On-Foods and Surplus Herby’s gift certificates, an Aberdeen Mall shopping spree and car detailing at Volkswagen Kamloops.

The value of the prizes is $5,300. The second-place turtle belonged to Mike Russell of Surfer Entertainment, who won a package of prizes worth $2,200 that included a one-year YMCA/ YWCA family membership, a Napoleon travel grill, passes to Pineridge Golf Course, a four-hour raft trip for two, Discover Scuba Diving for four and a zipline experience for two. Finishing third was Maggie Campbell’s turtle. Campbell won a gift certificate to Mittz Kitchen or Twisted Olive and two season flex passes to Western Canada Theatre, all valued at $600. In the second race, Lois Priebe’s turtle paddled across the finish line ahead of all others, giving Priebe $5,600 worth of prizes, including a Rocky

Mountaineer trip for two, Save-OnFoods and Surplus Herby’s gift certificates and an Aberdeen Mall shopping spree. The second turtle to cross the finish line was owned by Richard Smith of Fifth Avenue Jewellers, who took home a one-year YMCA/YWCA family membership, a Napoleon travel grill, passes to Rivershore Golf Links, a oneday rafting trip for two, Discover Scuba Diving for four and a zipline experience for two. Smith’s prizes are valued at $2,300. Jennifer Wilbur’s turtle was third across the finish line, giving her a $600 prize package that included a gift certificate to Mittz Kitchen or Twisted Olive and two season flex passes to Western Canada Theatre.

Canadian novelist Esi Edugyan named finalist for Man Booker Prize DAVID FRIEND

CANADIAN PRESS

Canadian novelist Esi Edugyan’s Washington Black has been named as a finalist for the Man Booker Prize for fiction. The Victoria-based author joins three U.K. writers and two Americans on the short list, marking the second nomination for Edugyan’s book in recent days. Washington Black follows the saga of an 11-year-old boy who escapes slavery at a Barbados sugar plantation with the help of the owner’s kinder brother. He embarks on a journey across the globe where he faces the weight of his past and lingering figures who threaten his future. The book was also longlisted for this year’s Scotiabank Giller Prize on Monday. Others chosen for the Man Booker short

for Edugyan said the author was unavailable to comment on the recognition for Washington Black

because she was currently on tour promoting the book. In an interview last month, the author

said making the Man Booker long list was “wonderful.’’ “I’m blown away by it,’’ she said at the time.

“It raises the visibility of the book and that’s great.’’ The winner of the 50,000 pound

($85,500) prize will be announced on Oct. 16 during a black-tie dinner at London’s Guildhall.

Favourites including Canada’s Michael Ondaatje didn’t make the cut from the 13-novel long list.

Freedom to live life to its fullest. list include two first novels: U.K. poet Robin Robertson’s verse novel The Long Take and Everything Under by British writer Daisy Johnson. At 27, Johnson is the youngest-ever Booker finalist. The American finalists are Rachel Kushner’s prison story “The Mars Room’’ and Richard Powers’ tree-inspired tale The Overstory with the troubles-set story Milkman by Northern Ireland writer Anna Burns round out the list. Edugyan previously appeared on the Man Booker short list in 2011 with her book Half-Blood Blues, which focused on a black jazz musician who goes missing after being arrested in Nazi Germany during the Second World War.

Funding secured for film focusing on Sun Peaks disappearance MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A sense of community came over Russell Walton while filming people searching in Sun Peaks for a missing Alberta man who vanished more than six months ago. Ryan Shtuka, 20, from Beaumont, Alta., was last seen on Feb. 17 leaving a house party on Burfield Drive at

about 2 a.m. to walk a short distance home. A massive and ongoing search effort by his parents and volunteers followed, but there has been no sign of Shtuka even after the snow melted this past spring. “When we were shooting this search [last] Saturday, just being there and participating in the search as well, I understand why people go up and contribute their time,” said

th Anniversary

Walton. The mystery surrounding Shtuka’s disappearance led Walton and his two lifelong friends Jared Featherstone and Allan McVicar to contribute in their own way though a documentary. They applied for a $50,000 grant from Telus’ Storyhive program in August and were notified earlier this month the bid for their film — Peaks

and Valley’s: The Ryan Shtuka Story — was successful. It was exciting to hear they were awarded one of 30 grants from a competitive field of more than 280 applicants, Walton told KTW. Storyhive is a public access competition from Telus that offers production grants and distribution opportunities to filmmakers in B.C. and Alberta, with half the grants being awarded to the projects with the most votes and the remaining 15 chosen by a panel of judges. Telus, Walton said, doesn’t disclose whether or not a documentary was selected by the public vote or the judging panel. Saturday’s shoot was one of the first steps in the filmmaking process. This weekend, Walton and Featherstone will be in Vancouver for a Storyhive workshop where they will be paired up with a project mentor. Their documentary will include six to eight sit-down interviews with people who knew Ryan and were involved in the search. One or two trips will be made to Beaumont where the crew will interview Ryan’s parents Heather and Scott Shtuka, who

lived at Sun Peaks for months while searching for their son earlier this year. Interviews are likely to begin by early November, as Telus wants the completed documentary ready for broadcast by the end of May 2019. The 20-minute runtime doesn’t leave time to cover everything, but Walton said they aim to explore the potential and flaws of the theories regarding what happened to Shtuka that night. “One of the theories is that he got disoriented on his walk home and wandered into the woods, but if there’s 13 feet of snow that’s not really a realistic theory for him getting any distance off the road. I think that’s good for people to understand,” Walton said. These theories will be explored primarily through their interviews as opposed to voice-over, and one of the filmmakers’ goals is to uncover new information surrounding Shtuka’s disappearance. “Depending on what people tell us, that could aim us in other directions that may not have been thoroughly investigated,” Walton said. Walton, Featherstone and

Ryan Shtuka was last seen Feb. 17 after leaving a house party in Sun Peaks. A new documentary on his disappearance hopes will explore what might have happened.

McVicar all have a variety of experience in video production, including projects for Marvel, Hasbro and Lu Lu Lemon, but this will be a story with much more emotion behind it. “The scale of the mystery and the emotion involved, that’s the thing out of everything that’s probably the most new to us and something that we’ve been doing a lot of research on how best to approach and capture,” Walton said. Walton and

Featherstone are codirectors on the project and McVicar is the director of photography. A large chunk of the $50,000 will be spent on acquiring high-quality sound and camera equipment they wouldn’t be able to afford without the grant money. The production will involve about 10 people and Walton said he hopes to debut the film in Kamloops at either Thompson Rivers University or the Paramount Theatre next June.

Ghomeshi essay editor stands behind decision LIAM CASEY

CANADIAN PRESS

A former editor at The New York Review of Books says he stands by his decision to publish a controversial essay written by disgraced former radio host Jian Ghomeshi. Ian Buruma told Vrij Nederland, a Dutch magazine, that he lost his job after an intense backlash to the article from social media and magazine advertisers. “It is rather ironic: as editor of The New York Review of Books I published a theme issue about #MeToo offenders who had not been convicted in a court of law but by social media,” the Dutch native said to Vrij. “And now I myself am publicly pilloried.” Last week, the magazine published Ghomeshi's essay, titled Reflections from a Hashtag, where he wrote he had “deep

remorse” for the way he treated people, but said the accusations from the women were inaccurate. Ghomeshi was acquitted in March 2016 of four counts of sexual assault and one count of choking involving three women and later signed a peace bond after apologizing to a fourth woman that saw another count of sexual assault withdrawn. The essay sparked an online backlash from those who said the former CBC radio host should not have been given such a prestigious platform to write an unchallenged first-person piece. Critics complained that the piece wasn't properly factchecked and was self-serving to a man trying to rehabilitate his image. On Wednesday, the magazine added an editorial note clarifying several details about the allegations against Ghomeshi, how they emerged and the legal

proceedings that followed. Buruma says he was not fired from the prestigious literary magazine, but felt forced to resign after he was told by his publisher that university publishers who advertise in the Review of Books were threatening a boycott. “They are afraid of the reactions on the campuses, where this is an inflammatory topic,” Buruma said to Vrij. “Because of this, I feel forced to resign — in fact it is a capitulation to social media and university presses.” He admits he didn't gauge the forces of the #MeToo movement. “I still stand behind my decision to publish,” Buruma says now. “I expected that there would (be) intense reactions, but I hoped that it would open a discussion about what to do with people who behaved badly, but who were acquitted in a court of law.”
