City’s top cop backs municipal ban on smoking cannabis in public Supt. Syd Lecky tells city council transition of detachment’s command was smooth JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cannabis legalization, gang prevention, criminal intelligence and transporting criminals out of Kamloops were among topics discussed by the city’s top cop, who for the first time addressed city council on Tuesday during its regular meeting.

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky took the helm of the local detachment in recent months and noted he is thrilled to be in the River City.

“That said, we’ve had some challenges from the day I stepped in place,” he said.

Lecky noted traffic safety among priorities, with significant highways passing through the city.

The opioid crisis and cannabis legalization pose other challenges, he said, with impacts — including costs — of the latter yet to be fully realized.

“We’ll see in the months and years to follow,” Lecky said.

The federal government has announced plans for testing impaired driving using the Dreger 5000 test — which has been criticized for its inability to function in cold weather — but it has not yet come to the local detachment.

“We don’t have anything at this point in hand, but if that is the direction of our government and certainly our organization, that’s the direction we will work in,” Lecky said.

“In the meantime, we are focussing on more traditional methods that we already have, which include standardized field sobriety training … and drug recognition expert training.”

While Lecky said it is difficult to say whether use will rise when cannabis becomes legal on Oct. 17, he expects it to become more overt.

Coun. Tina Lange asked if the city should create a bylaw to pre-

vent smoking cannabis in public.

“I would encourage that because it is going to be a challenge for us and it just gives us more tools to be able to work with,” Lecky said.

Another detachment focus is on disrupting organized crime, council heard.

An inadmissible patrons program, which would allow Kamloops Mounties to ban gang members from local restaurants and bars, is in the works with the City of Kamloops.

Local restauranteurs are being asked to opt into the program and two local establishments told KTW in earlier months it would take pressure off staff to deal with issues.

Lecky told KTW signs will be posted in the windows of busi-

nesses that participate but he could not provide a date as to when the program will be in place.

Calling the change of command in Kamloops “seamless,” Mayor Ken Christian asked Lecky whether former Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller’s work around criminal intelligence — mapping criminal activity in the city and providing policing around that — will continue and Lecky called it an important piece of the puzzle.

Lecky called it a “focal point” of the detachment’s crime-reduction strategy.

“We have to work smarter,” he said.

Meanwhile, with the impending closure of Greyhound, Coun.

Dieter Dudy asked the city’s top cop about impacts on the local

detachment. He said inmates at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre have traditionally been handed a bus ticket to their home community after they get out of jail, being that many prisoners come from outside of the city. Corrections employees often drive prisoners to Greyhound from the jail upon their release.

“We are very curious to see how that’s going to roll out,” Lecky said.

“Because, as you know, after the fires last year, we had a number of clients who arrived in our community and didn’t leave. That thought did come to mind, too. …

I haven’t heard what corrections, what plans they have in place, but I do know that they have a duty to try to get people back to wherever they came from.”

School placed on lockdown Valleyview secondary targeted in ‘pepper-spray incident’ MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

#105-5170 DALLAS DR., KAMLOOPS | 250-573-1193

Police are investigating an incident that put the Kamloops high school on lockdown for about an hour just after noon on Wednesday.

Valleyview secondary student Alex Christie was sitting in science class when he heard the school was going into lockdown.

“I was kind of nervous because we didn’t know anything at all,” the Grade 10 student told KTW. Mounties said they were called about a pepper-spray incident involving youths from another school.

In a letter sent to parents Wednesday afternoon, VSS principal Barb Hamblett said several youths came to the building, were approached by school administration and directed to leave.

“They exited the building and at some point, discharged a spray outside,” the letter read.

“This was not aimed at an individual.”

As a precaution, VSS was placed on lockdown and police were called. Mounties cleared the scene and determined it was safe for the lockdown to end.

A firetruck was seen leaving the school just before 1 p.m., but three police cars remained. An ambulance was also observed attending the scene shortly after that.

No injuries were reported and police have not informed the district of any arrests, according to SD73 communications manager Diana Skoglund.

On Sept. 10, Hamblett issued a letter to parents regarding a

fight involving VSS students that occurred during lunch off school property.

Skoglund said whether or not the pepper spray incident is related to the fight is something the school intends to look into as part of its review of the situation.

“That certainly might be revealed in the investigation, but we don’t know that yet,” she said.

Hamblett said she welcomes any information parents may have regarding the situation and advises anyone who does to reach out to VSS administration or police.

A sign posted on the front entrance of the school indicated that VSS was placed under a hold and secure procedure,

but SD73 director of instruction, Trish Smillie, told KTW the school was in fact under a full lockdown.

Smillie said part of the lockdown procedure involves students hiding under their desks or in other parts of the school and staying away from windows, which are to be shuttered.

A hold and secure procedure is different, Smillie said, as classes are allowed to continue as normal inside the school, but the doors are still locked and no one is allowed in or out of the building.

In the letter issued Wednesday, Hamblett advised parents to connect with administration or any of the school’s counsellors if their child needs support.

The event raised more than $12,000 locally — a new single-day record. That total will be added to other fundraising events and sponsorships and the total will qualify for matching funds to be announced later this year. Last year, the Raise a Reader program brought in more than $118,000 for local literacy programs including local fundraising, sponsorships and matching funds.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Save your home!

Don’t sell your home unless you want to! Bills, household expenses and poorly structured mortgages can wreck havoc on the family finances. If this sounds like you, there are options to explore, and you often don’t have to sell your home unless you want to!

Bills and high housing costs can sometimes be addressed by looking at three things: 1. Amortization For years, many lenders have been advising clients to choose 20 or 25 year amortizations so the client doesn’t have to pay as much interest over the life of the mortgage. Good idea right?

Well, the problem is that sometimes the payments are so high that the client ends up putting emergency expenditures, vacations and other expenses on high interest credit cards. The result is that people end up paying off 3%, 4% and 5% mortgage debt and building up 9%, 19% and 29% credit card debt. The high credit card interest can become unbearable and force the sale of your home. 35 year amortizations are still available! Conditions apply 2. Refinancing In some cases, we can use the equity from your house to payoff credit card bills, car loans, etc.

This means we pay off high interest debt with low interest debt. We can’t always change how much money you owe, but we can change how much interest you get charged on it.

3. Cashback Would a cashback mortgage work for you? In this type of mortgage, you receive a lumpsum of 2% or 5% at closing which you can use to reduce bills etc. The extra money can reduce overall household monthly payments or can be used to payoff closing costs or mortgage penalty. The mortgage payments are higher for this type of mortgage.

If you are struggling with month to month bills or know someone who is, call me BEFORE you miss a payment. Once you have missed payments reported on your credit bureau, lenders are less likely to approve your mortgage change.

Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca

SIGN, SIGN, EVERYWHERE A SIGN

I

t’s election season again, and that means election signs are springing up all over the city.

They’ve got a long history as a campaign tool, but few would disagree the proliferation of brightly-coloured signs is, at best, unsightly.

The question is, do they do any good?

They don’t contain any statement about what the candidate stands for, just a name and a plea for a vote.

It’s supposed to build name recognition, so that when an elector goes to check off boxes, they will remember the name, if nothing else.

And if one sign does that for you, how much better is it to put out half a dozen in a row, and then repeat that on every piece of open public land you can find.

And like Pepsi and Coke, the more of your own signs you can get out, the less room there is for competitors.

As a democratic ideal, that idea sucks. The last thing any democracy needs is someone casting a vote because they saw a name on lots of signs and liked it.

And while the branding effect might work in federal — or even provincial — elections, where the candidate is farther removed from the voters, the people running in municipal elections are friends, neighbours and business people, often already well-known.

What we really need, to support a higher level of democracy, is more educated voters getting out to the polls to cast their ballots.

Instead of spending money on election signs, both creating and distributing, wouldn’t it be better if candidates put that money to use educating people about the issues, and helping get them to the polls?

It does make electors feel good, that they are somehow supporting their candidate by putting out a sign.

How many, though, are satisfied by this small action, then don’t actually get out to cast a vote?

Accident or inefficient?

O

ne of the things to watch as the B.C. legislature prepares to resume is the remake of ICBC rates and penalties.

You may recall the blamestorming session after the NDP took over, featuring cabinet minister David Eby’s “dumpster fire” rhetoric for runaway ICBC costs.

Eby produced parts of an outside study that the B.C. Liberal government had withheld, and began the latest overhaul of the 40-year-old vehicle insurance monopoly.

The Ernst & Young report highlighted huge deficits, driven mainly by crashes and soaring minor injury claim costs, ridden by personal injury lawyers and medical experts that other provinces reined in long ago.

Eby’s first announcement was a $5,500 cap on “pain and suffering” payouts, and a civil resolution panel to get minor injuries out of court.

None of this takes effect until September 2019. And when Eby says “good drivers pay less,” he doesn’t mean, er, less. ICBC will file its next rate application by the end of 2018, when Eby hopes you are busy Christmas shopping.

That’s on top of the 6.4 per cent hike in basic insurance that took effect last fall. This fall, in what may be Eby’s only popular move, rate increases for penalty points and serious offences went up 20 per cent, rising another 20 per cent in 2019.

Next year, young drivers will

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In

VICTORIA pay more, regional rates will change to reflect growing urban risks, drivers will have to pay extra for a learner or unlisted driver, and forgiveness of any atfault crash disappears.

The Ernst & Young report has a chart showing that when you factor in population growth, B.C.’s accident rate actually went down between 2005 and 2014.

Ferrari street racers and texting millennials are sexy media stories, but the big picture also includes safer roads, safer vehicles and lots more drivers, many of them older.

Eby doesn’t talk much about the performance of the NDP touchstone, a public monopoly.

ICBC’s ability to innovate is illustrated by paralysis in the face of Lyft, Uber and similar ride-hailing services. That calls for usage-based insurance. Don’t hold your breath.

Private insurers have their own study, showing costs would come down with competition.

You could bundle your home and car insurance, get a loyalty

discount, and hey, maybe even something other than Sovietstyle claims service.

This problem isn’t new. In 2011, ICBC basic rates jumped 11 per cent. An audit revealed bloated management, 260 positions were cut and a politically appointed board chair exited.

Have things really changed?

Aaron Sutherland of the Insurance Bureau of Canada says the ICBC monopoly “tends to drag claims out longer, and that creates higher claims costs overall.”

Identifying bad drivers could be done with a chip in the car, recording speed and hard braking, but don’t wait for ICBC on that either.

ICBC’s Joanna Linsangan says the explosion of crashes is no myth. There were 350,000 in 2017, a 25 per cent increase since 2014. Injury claim costs are up 26 per cent over the same time. Vehicle repair bills rose 47 per cent.

Eby hopes his minor injury and other changes will save ICBC $1 billion a year.

Sutherland agrees, distracted driving and crash claims are up across North America. But the government’s own study compares B.C. with Alberta’s competitive insurance market.

“You pay less in Alberta, and you get more when you make a claim,” he said. “You get much more value for your money.”

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

[speak up] You can comment on any story you read at kamloopsthisweek.com

FLEA MARKET THEFT NOT NICE Editor: To the lady that walked off with a beautiful hand-knit pullover this past Sunday at our local flea market: you were observed walking off with the lovely orange pullover with a Norwegian pattern and brown trim around the neck and shoulders.

I knitted it myself. It was not expensive, since we price items at the lowest price possible but, repurposing an item does not mean it’s a freebie.

Shame on you. If you want to make it right and clear your conscience, contact the Sagebrush Neighbourhood Association and send them $10 so you can at least wear this item outside your home.

I guess opportunists like you exist and I shall have a two- or fourlegged watch dog with me next time, in case you show up again.

VOTER APATHY AT POLLS NOT NECESSARILY VOTERS’ FAULT Editor: Re: ‘Apathy reigns at polls’, Christopher Foulds, Kamloops This Week, Friday, Sept. 21, 2018.

“Apathy” has the insinuation the voters are to blame, so the politicians and power brokers do not have to change, or accept change.

Voters are “disengaged,” and thus do not vote, because: • Voters feel their participation

does not offer them enough influence over political decisions political parties are seen as too similar and lacking in principle the electoral system is widely perceived as leading to unequal and wasted votes; • Parties and elections require voters to commit to too broad a range of policies; and • Voting procedures are regard-

ed as inconvenient and unattractive.

After Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election, everyone involved in online voting is taking a second look at a more secure way with less opportunity for misuse.

Mandatory voting will wind up in the Supreme court, and probably found to be against the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Electoral reform gives an opportunity to remedy the reasons for disengagement.

Seems “we the people” are quick to complain about politics, and slow to do anything about it.

So Editor, are you prepared to do something — anything — to inform and educate the voters?

Majority of Dufferin elementary school’s students stung by wasps Terry Fox run’s route goes directly over ground wasp nest, ‘panic’ ensues JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two children were taken to hospital and many more were left in tears after a wasp hive was disturbed during Dufferin elementary’s Terry Fox Run on Thursday afternoon, resulting in 135 of 215 students at the school being stung by wasps.

Eyes filled with big tears, five-year-old Lucas Clarke held a Freezie to his leg, while pointing to three places he was was stung.

“On my knee and on my head and the first sting I got was on this knee,” the Grade 1 student told KTW. The scene at the school on Hillside Drive was abuzz around lunchtime, as parents ran to pick up and console their kids and emergency personnel arrived on scene: two firetrucks, followed by paramedics.

School District 73 communications manager Diana Skoglund said students were participating in the annual Terry Fox run in the hills behind the school when the first runners stirred up a ground wasp nest.

Aggravation of that nest continued — as runner after runner followed behind resulting in student after student being stung, some multiple times. One parent described a wasp going down the shirt of a little girl, stinging her multiple times.

“None of the children who were known to be anaphylactic to the school had a reaction,” Skoglund said. “But all of the children were being observed after the incident and while they were being observed some of the other children had reactions and they have been taken to the hospital. There was two of them.”

Skoglund said all parents were immediately notified. Mom Jasmine Clarke was at home when she got the call, quickly readying her toddler and heading to the school to fetch teary-eyed Lucas.

“Complete panic and shock,” she said.

“As soon as I got to the school, and all

this, with all the kids around, it was quite emotional.”

BC Ambulance Service acting district supervisor Michael Saat said paramedics were on scene to mitigate any problems related to allergies, including anaphylaxis that may result from wasp stings. He could not comment on the two students who were taken to hospital.

“I’m not able to speculate on conditions and so on on those patients,” Saat said. “But certainly it doesn’t appear to

be anything major at this point.”

For now, it appears that the students were mostly just shaken up from the incident.

Luckily, there are moms and Freezies.

“Treats make the world better, don’t they?” Jasmine Clarke said.

Skoglund said there will be an investigation into what happened and whether to bring in an exterminator. She said the response by emergency personnel helped to calm the situation.

Could Telepark be on the way out of Kamloops?

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops woman is warning residents who use a pay-by-phone parking system in Kamloops to check their bank statements.

Jennifer O’Neill attempted to pay for parking downtown on Sept. 5 via Telepark, a thirdparty contracted through Precise Parklink by the City of Kamloops.

O’Neill spent the better part of 20 minutes trying to create a Telepark profile, but received errors forcing her to run across the street and withdraw cash to pay for parking.

Six days later, her online bank statement revealed four separate $30.35 transactions charged to her account by Telepark.

“That’s $120,” O’Neill said.

“That’s an expensive day of parking.”

In contacting Telepark for a refund, O’Neill said she faced a customer service nightmare — on hold for hours before asked to email the company and finally receiving a response consisting of three lines, riddled with grammatical errors and without any signature or other indication it was a professional account.

Telepark did not respond to request for comment from KTW, but the email from the company to O’Neill shared with this newspaper states it “had a problem” that day. The transactions were pre-authorizations, it read,

KTW FILE PHOTO Kamloops resident Jennifer O’Neill is raising questions about Telepark, a third-party service available at City of Kamloops parking spaces. O’Neill was charged more than $120 mistakenly and thinks there could be more.

though O’Neill’s bank records show the charges did, in fact, come out of her account.

Told the charges would be reversed within five business days, O’Neill also took frustrations to her bank and the city. City of Kamloops bylaw services manager John Ramsay is not aware of public concerns related to Telepark and unauthorized transactions.

Unlike errors with the parking kiosks, which are managed by the city, Ramsay said residents with Telepark issues typically bypass the city directly to the third party.

The city would intervene should disputes arise, but ultimately, he said, it’s not up to them.

“We’re very clear that this is third-party,” he said.

Telepark was a package deal with the city’s parking contractor, Precise Parklink, which is seven years into a 10-year municipal contract.

Precise Parklink did not respond to KTW requests for comment, but posted on it’s website nearly a year ago an “urgent notification” to Telepark users

requesting they re-register online at whooshstore.com because of a software migration. Precise Parklink is apparently transitioning to an alternative pay-byphone parking service, Whoosh.

It appears Telepark may be on its way out in Kamloops, as well.

Ramsay said Whoosh will not be implemented until the city tests the app and conducts a privacy impact assessment.

“We are not ready to announce the implementation of the app until everything has been reviewed,” he said.

Ramsay said the city collected $2,170 in parking fees (more than 1,700 hours of parking) via Telepark in August and ballparked about 1,000 transactions so far this year. The city doesn’t pay anything for the service — Telepark instead charges customers 35 cents per transaction — and Ramsay said it was included in a parking service agreement to add convenience to Kamloops customers.

O’Neill’s money was eventually refunded, though it remains unclear what happened. Another possible explanation is the automatic maximum dollar amount set by Telepark on its registration page at $30 with a 35-cent transaction fee.

The fine print warns users they are required to stop their parking transactions or billing will continue until the cost reaches that maximum transaction amount.

In any case, O’Neill criticized the city for continuing to advertise a service it may no longer be using. She is also warning Kamloops residents who use the pay-by-phone service to check their bank statements, wondering whether her case was a one-off situation and if her $120 would have been refunded had she not noticed the charges.

Either way, O’Neill won’t be using Telepark the next time she heads downtown.

“Lesson learned to carry cash,” she said.

Kamloops MLA Todd Stone says move is to ‘cast a chill’ on B.C.’s investment climate MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Acting on complaints from renters, the provincial government is slashing its maximum annual allowable rent increase from a proposed 4.5 per cent to just 2.5 per cent for 2019.

“It’s simply not sustainable for renters, many of whom are on fixed incomes, to see their rent increase by more than inflation each and every year,” said Premier John Horgan in a press release. “We have to eliminate the risk of such huge increases for renters. Our new approach strikes a balance between giving relief to renters while encouraging people to maintain their rental properties.”

Kamloops South-Thompson Liberal MLA Todd Stone said the government “missed the mark” with this announcement Wednesday stating renters need more supply in the market.

“This action by the NDP government today has simply served to cast a chill on the investment climate that’s going to result in landlords across British Columbia deciding not to build market rental product. Less supply means higher costs,” Stone told KTW. In the press release, Selina Robinson, minister of municipal affairs and housing, said the government recognizes supply is key to bringing down rental costs in the long term, but this week’s announcement eases the pressure on renters, while still ensuring landlords can continue to invest in their rental properties.

The government’s decision limits next year’s increase to just the rate of inflation and drops the automatic two per cent increase under the previous formula, which B.C.’s rental housing task force recommended.

Under that formula, the maximum percentage increase allowed each year is the inflation rate plus two per cent. The inflation rate, calculated using the 12-month average percentage change in the consumer price index for B.C. ending in July, is 2.5 per cent. Therefore, the maximum allowable increase for 2019 was 4.5 per cent.

Landlords in B.C. can choose to increase rent once annually and must provide tenants with three full months’ notice.

As a result of eliminating the additional two per cent increase, people living in a $1,200 per month apartment — the average rent in B.C. according to the province — could save up to $288 in 2019 over what they could have paid under the old formula. Stone said rather than “attacking landlords,” the government should follow through on its promise to give renters a $400 rebate.

If the Liberals were back in power, Stone said they would be “looking at every opportunity to increase supply in the province” by working with local governments to speed up the process of building housing units and requiring greater densification in urban centres.

“It’s government’s responsibility to help clear those obstacles out of the way, so that the private sector can actually invest in those projects and bring those products online,” Stone said.

More than half of fatal ODs involved people who were mentally ill, coroner says CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The BC Coroners Service says more than half the 872 people who died of illicit-drug overdoses in 2016 and 2017 had been diagnosed with a mental health disorder or showed evidence of being mentally ill.

The service said in a report that more than two-thirds of those who fatally overdosed used drugs alone and 45 per cent of them had reported pain-related issues.

It said 63 per cent of the deaths occurred in homes, but that number shot to 74 per cent in the Fraser

Health authority, the largest of the six health regions that serve the province.

The report said most of the dead were men between the ages of 30 and 49 but women were more likely to use injection as a way to consume drugs versus smoking, snorting or ingesting them.

It said illicit fentanyl was the most commonly detected street drug, especially in deaths among those aged 15 to 29.

The service said the number of overdose fatalities decreased by 27 per cent in August compared with July.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Prepare to see familiar maintenance trucks being held to higher standards on highway roads around Kamloops for the next decade.

Argo Road Maintenance has been given a 10-year contract extension for the service area, with an optional fiveyear extension, the Ministry of Transportation announced Tuesday.

The contract will begin the day after the existing contracts expires — Oct. 1, 2018.

The new maintenance contract requires higher standards and a more proactive approach during severe weather events, such as increased communica-

tion with the public of rapidly changing road conditions.

Patrols of class A highways, such as the Coquihalla, during a winter storm will need to occur every 90 minutes, up from the previous standard of every four hours.

When a weather event is forecasted, patrol frequency will be every four hours as opposed to every 24 hours.

Additionally, class A highways will need to be returned to bare pavement within 24 hours of a winter storm ending when pavement temperatures are -9 C or warmer rather than within two days.

Under the new agreement, Argo must also be more proactive by spreading anti-icing

chemicals prior to the weather event.

The government also announced on Tuesday a 10-year contract with Yellowhead Road & Bridge Ltd. for another service area, which includes provincial roadways in the Grand Forks and Castlegar areas.

New maintenance contracts for all service areas will be required to adhere to these new standards.

Twenty-six of the 28 maintenance contracts in the province will be tendered and awarded in 2018 and 2019 through a staggered open-bidding process.

The value of these maintenance agreements totals approximately $400 million annually.

City weighing biosolids options Official says hope is to find ‘basket of options,’ not just one JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city continues to investigate ways in which to manage its biosolids.

“This committee is working along and I believe that when the recommendations do come forward that they’re going to be the right ones for this community,” Coun. Tina Lange, who is on the biosolids stakeholder committee, said on Tuesday during an update to council.

The committee has been looking at management options around the world and has met five times since the spring. Some options have been narrowed down based on a set of criteria identified by the committee. A recommendation is expected sometime next year.

“One of the important things to know is that with biosolids management we’re not looking for one single option here, we’re looking for a basket of options,” City of Kamloops utility services manager Greg Wightman told council. “That’s kind of the term we’ve used throughout this committee.

You need multiple options so you have backup options and options that can function in different weather conditions and what have you.”

Options that passed the pre-screening criteria include: in-vessel/enclosed composting with amendments, land application, high-rate biomass production, liquid fertilizer production, thermal drying to sell for hog fuel and thermolysis.

While Barnhartvale residents previously expressed frustration over the dumping of waste in their neighbourhood — due to the smell and unknown impacts on the watershed — Lange noted 94 per cent of the world’s biosolids are used on land application and said it has a place in the community and surrounding region.

“When I first started on this committee, I thought, ‘Well we just have to do everything we can to prevent land application,’” Lange said.

“And it’s not that easy.”

She said said liquid fertilizer and composting are other options that could possibly be in the city’s toolbox to manage biosolids. Lange called thermolysis — the process of using heat to breakdown the sludge — the latest and greatest in biosolids management strategies but noted the technology has yet to be proven.

“Until it is, we certainly don’t want to risk the many millions of dollars to be the guinea pig for that,” she said.

The city continues to seek public feedback, via its Let’s Talk Kamloops website. After public feedback is collected, the city will finalize it’s recommendation to council at an unknown date.

The city’s biosolids are identified under provincial regulations as Class B and contain between 80 and 85 per cent water, with 15 to 20 per cent solids.

Coun. Kathy Sinclair asked what it would take to turn them into Class A — which would have reduced pathogens and odour. Wightman said a consultant hired to help with the long-term strategy included further treatment of the biosolids among recommendations.

“As we are looking at this basket of options and what’s available out there, if treating biosolids to a Class A looks like a reasonable option to put the money towards, then we will do that,” Wightman said.

The province is also currently reviewing its organic matter recycling regulations. About 12,500 tonnes of biosolids is produced each year through the city’s sewage treatment plant.

The city is currently reviewing requests for proposals to deal in the short-term with its stockpile of biosolids. The city and Tk’emlups te Secwepemc produce combined about two trucks worth of biosolids each day.

TRU unveils $32M trades building KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Thompson Rivers University celebrated the completion of its new trades training building on Wednesday with a ribbon cutting and tour.

The $32-million building constructed behind and above the older trades facility on University Drive was erected thanks in part to provincial and federal funding.

The federal government’s post secondary institutions strategic investment fund provided $13.25 million, more than $7 million came from the province and the remaining $11.72 million was provided by TRU and donors.

Flanked by trades students, TRU Dean

of Trades Baldev Pooni told a crowd the new building will expand the trades department.

New programs, such as power engineering, instrumentation engineering technology and refrigeration and air conditioning mechanic training are now being housed in the new building — classes which the university couldn’t offer before due to limited space, Pooni told KTW. “I think we were strong on construction trades. With this building, we are going to be strong on industrial trades,” Pooni said.

The new trades centre is 5,344 square metres and adds 550 full-time equivalent

The new building has many open spaces, which will enable students to collaborate and learn from each other, Pooni said.

The grand opening was supposed to be held in August, but smoky skies from wildfires burning across the province delayed the ceremony a few weeks.

Classes have been running in the new facility since the start of the month.

City wants help locating problem potholes Officials urging residents to use MyKamloops app

City staffers want your help in locating potholes. Civic operations director Jen Fretz said crews fix potholes, but they don’t generally drive around looking for them. She urged residents to use the MyKamloops app to report problem potholes.

The city is reminding residents to report potholes.

“We always will have potholes in the city but what we don’t do is drive around looking for them,” City of Kamloops civic operations director Jen Fretz told council on Tuesday.

Coun. Kathy Sinclair addressed staff during this week’s regular council meeting, noting she continues to receive inquiries about the process for repairing potholes on city streets.

Fretz said residents are asked to report them buy calling or emailing the public works department or through the MyKamloops app.

The most important information is the exact location.

The MyKamloops app has the ability to specifically pinpoint that information using location services through a smartphone.

Fretz said the city aims to fix potholes that have the potential to damage vehicles within one to two business days.

“We are doing certainly the best we can but we don’t know all the potholes that are out there,” she said.

The public works department can be reached at 250-828-3461 or by emailing publicworks@ kamloops.ca.

Scouts collecting bottles, raising money for poppy sign project KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Boy scouts will be doing a bottle drive in the Rayleigh area this weekend to help fund a veteran streets signs project.

A member of the city’s heritage commission has been working to raise more than $8,000 to add poppies to city street signs that align with the names of the community’s veterans.

Jeff Lodge said he has raised about $7,500 for the initiative, with the goal of seeing poppies hoisted above city streets by Remembrance Day this fall.

The Vicars family in Valleyview has apparently contributed $1,000.

The city turned down a request by the volunteer group last year during supplemental budget talks to pay for the costs associated with replacing the street signs outright. Instead, council elected to add poppies to signs over time, as the signs need replacing.

Johal aims for transparency, wants economic improvement JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jimmy Johal wants to increase transparency at city hall.

The 38-year-old Kamloops businessman would like to see the city launch a complaints database, which would not include private information but be open to the public.

Johal said resident complaints surrounding safe injection sites, snow removal and infrastructure in certain neighbourhoods fall by the wayside.

“It could be sidewalks, lighting, motion-sensor lighting, even simple things as crosswalks or traffic-calming items,” he said, pointing to Poplar Street in North Kamloops and the Dallas area.

“They’re not getting them. Basically, what I want to do is make sure each neighbourhood is treated fairly. Make sure that no neighbourhood is left behind.”

In evaluating council in its last term, Johal also pointed to issues of transparency. He wants to hear why city councillors voted a certain way, after decisions are made in camera.

“It’s just all about being transparent, being clear about what’s going on,” Johal said.

Johal is running for a city council seat after a failed bid in the 2017 byelection.

He fared slightly worse than middle of the pack. While Johal is a project manager, the reality is he wears many hats — also running accounting and facilities maintenance businesses. He recently left a regional management position operating several Petro Canada gas stations, and noted it will give him time to add city council to his plate.

New fees could drive up 2019 ICBC rates Fees and levies for unlisted drivers, learners will add to many car insurance premiums starting next fall ROB SHAW

VANCOUVER SUN

VICTORIA — B.C. motorists who might occasionally let a friend or family member drive their vehicle will need to pay a new $50 fee on their basic auto insurance next year or face the risk of large penalties if the borrower crashes.

The “unlisted driver protection” fee is a little-known part of the overhaul at the Insurance Corp. of B.C. that government announced in August and will take effect in September 2019.

The changes are touted as a way to pull the Crown insurance agency out of its financial crisis.

But critics say the driver protection plan is one example of several rate hikes masquerading as hidden fees that most drivers will feel pressured to pay out of caution or confusion.

“If your vehicle is involved in a crash caused by an unlisted driver and you didn’t have the unlisted driver protection, there will be a financial consequence,” ICBC’s Adam Grossman said in a statement.

“We need to ensure that the

KTW FILE PHOTO ICBC rates could increase next year due to changes in how rates are calculated.

right incentives exist and, more importantly, that all drivers aren’t paying for the decisions that individuals make about who they lend their vehicle to.”

The $50 annual protection plan would apply to anyone who intends to lend their vehicle out fewer than 12 times a year to family members, friends, neighbours, acquaintances or co-workers — for example, if you lent someone your truck to help them move.

If an owner doesn’t buy the extra protection, and then someone with a worse safety record than the owner crashes their vehicle, ICBC would hit the owner with a steep fine.

Anyone who might drive that vehicle more than a dozen times in a year must be explicitly listed on the insurance and their driving record will be considered in calculating premiums.

The surcharge is one of several new levies motorists will face next year when insuring their vehicle with ICBC, which has a monopoly on basic auto insurance.

Attorney General David Eby has said the changes are intended to increase rates for the riskiest drivers while providing savings for those with safer records.

He has said 39 per cent of ICBC customers could have rates fall by up to $50, 13 per cent by between $50 and $100, and 15 per cent by more than $100.

However, those reductions are based on 2018 rates and could be wiped out by ICBC’s new fees and any rate hike for basic insurance in 2019.

that have a teenager or new driver trying to obtain a driver’s licence for the first time, appear to be particularly hard hit under the new rules.

An average family with a basic insurance rate of $1,094 this year could pay almost $200 more next year for the same vehicle, reflecting what ICBC says is the increased crash risk of young drivers.

“All of this adds up to a pretty steep rate increase that David Eby is trying to hide,” said Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson.

“It sounds like David Eby’s newborn ICBC is going to be a whole bunch of flat rate fees with no real relationship to risk.”

All vehicle owners will soon be required by ICBC to list everyone who may drive their vehicle after September 2019, including spouses, children and other relatives (any friends or neighbours who will drive it more than 12 times a year).

ICBC’s new 2019 rate structure will mean the principal operator (say a parent with a lengthy clean driving record) will only account for 75 per cent of how ICBC sets

the insurance premium on that vehicle.

The highest-risk driver on the list (say a teenager) will be used by ICBC to calculate the remaining 25 per cent of the rate.

ICBC also plans to levy a new learner premium for drivers who must use the red “L” signs, of between $130 and $230 annually, depending on where you live in B.C., to “recognize the risk that a learner driver represents.”

A crash by a learner would not affect the premium of the vehicle owner, or the learner’s driving record, according to ICBC. But once that learner graduates to a full licence, their risk would increase insurance rates for a parent who lets them drive the family vehicle.

Eby has said the insurance changes are intended to reform ICBC, prevent massive rate hikes and help it recover from a $1.3-billion loss last year. But Wilkinson said Eby has simply masked rate hikes on good drivers by calling them flat fees.

Eby was not available for an interview, and questions were redirected to ICBC.

BC Hydro says device ‘obsession’ behind shift in power use CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A report from BC Hydro says British Columbians are addicted to personal electronics, prompting a dramatic shift in electricity consumption across the province.

The report from the Crownowned utility says B.C.’s obsession with devices including smartphones, laptops and tablets has hiked electricity use for small electronics by 150 per cent in less than 30 years.

The survey of 400 B.C. residents shows 20 per cent of those under 34 would give up a days’ pay rather than be without their phone, while many more admit they may be fonder of their smartphone than their spouse.

One quarter agree they would rather skip contact with their partner for a day than give up their smartphone over the same period, while that number rises to one-third for those aged 55 to 64.

Twenty per cent of respondents admit to sleeping with their phone, 50 per cent check it the moment they wake up and two-thirds would forego their morning coffee for 48 hours rather than start the day without their device.

Smartphone owners are especially faithful, with the survey revealing they use their devices for nearly five hours every day. Hydro president Chris O’Riley said the desire to be connected is driving B.C.’s shift in power usage.

“While none of these devices use a lot a power individually, taken together, household electricity use from these devices has increased from seven per cent to 17 per cent since the early 1990s,’’ O’Riley said in a news release.

Each small device only uses about 15 to 20 watts when plugged in, but several in use simultaneously — along with the peripheral devices often used with them — all add up, according to the Hydro release.

It points to a dramatic jump in the number of wireless routers used with new “smart’’ televisions, along with set-top boxes for high-definition TV. Hydro recommends the use of available power management technology now built into most new smartphones, tablets, laptops and game consoles, or the use of so-called smart strips or advanced power bars that shut down devices when they are not in use.

Amazon to open 450,000-square-foot warehouse in Tsawwassen Facility will be Amazon’s third in province VANCOUVER SUN

Amazon will open a third distributing warehouse in Tsawwassen.

The online retailer will occupy more than 450,000 square-feet of space within Delta iPort, a new industrial park on First Nations land, according to the Tsawwassen First Nation.

Amazon said in a release that the new centre will create 700 full time jobs.

The industrial park is developed

by GWL Realty Advisors on behalf of project owner, the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan.

TFN signed a 60-year lease agreement on the 23.3-acre parcel in 2017, according to TFN. In a news release, TFN called the agreement a “promising advancement” that will continue to unlock the potential of TFN as a leading development partner and as a key

economic driver in Metro Vancouver.

“We are pleased that Amazon has chosen Delta iPort as its newest Metro Vancouver distribution facility,” said GWL president Paul Finkbeiner, in a statement.

Director of Amazon operations in Canada, Glenn Sommerville, said they are excited to announce continued growth in B.C. “Our ability to create hundreds of good-paying jobs with great benefits is thanks to the network of support we’ve received from community leaders, project partners, and fantastic customers,” he said.

In April, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Amazon would build a new headquarters in Vancouver, which he claimed would create 3,000 high tech jobs in the city.

There are two other distributing warehouses in Metro Vancouver, including one in Delta, and one in New Westminster.

Time of ‘self-regulation’ is over, privacy czar says in push for stronger laws Daniel Therrien says he wants steps taken now, not later CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada’s privacy watchdog says there’s an urgent need for stronger laws to protect personal information — and for more money to help his office enforce them.

In his annual report tabled Thursday, privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien said Canadians cannot afford to wait several years until well-known shortcomings in the privacy laws are fixed.

Canada’s privacy legislation “is quite permissive’’ and gives companies wide latitude to use personal information for their own benefit, he said, adding “the time of self-regulation is over.’’

“To be clear, it is not enough to ask companies to live up to their responsibilities. Canadians

need stronger privacy laws that will protect them when organizations fail to do so,’’ the report said.

“Respect for those laws must be enforced by a regulator, independent from industry and the government, with sufficient powers to ensure compliance.’’

On one key issue, Therrien said he plans to ask the courts whether federal laws require Google to remove web pages from its mammoth search engine.

The move is aimed at providing clarity over the legality in Canada of what advocates call “the right to be forgotten.’’

Therrien’s office takes the position that existing Canadian law gives people the right to ask search engines like Google to de-index web pages and to ask websites to remove or update

content that contains inaccurate, incomplete or outdated information.

Google argues the privacy law for private-sector actors doesn’t apply to its search engine and that requiring it to de-index web pages would be unconstitutional.

To settle the matter, Therrien said he plans to file a reference with the Federal Court to clarify whether Google’s search engine is subject to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act before delving deeper into complaints about search results.

Peter Fleischer, Google’s global privacy counsel, said removing lawful information from search engines limits access and he suggests a right to be forgotten would infringe on freedom of expression.

Billionaire businessman represents himself in N.S. court, loses $2,572 CANADIAN PRESS

Halifax billionaire John Risley, one of Canada’s richest people and a leading philanthropist, represented himself in small claims court over a $3,000 claim from a tradesman — and mostly lost.

Risley, the co-founder of Clearwater Fine Foods with business interests worldwide, was sued by Ralph Gordon Spares, a contractor doing renovations on Risley’s home in a posh neighbourhood in southend Halifax.

Spares sued Risley for damage to his 1994 Toyota Celica,

after a piece of wood from an outdoor garden structure fell on it in June 2017.

“The claimant takes pride in this vehicle,’’ small claims adjudicator Eric Slone said of Spares in a written decision released Wednesday.

“He has not yet had it repaired because he cannot afford the $2,965.62 cost that has been estimated. He continues to drive the car but wants to have it fixed and seeks to hold the defendant responsible.’’

Risley, who represented himself at an August hearing, argued he shouldn’t be held 100 per cent responsible for

the damage, and questioned whether it made sense to fix a car with a resale value of no more than $5,000.

But Slone said the Celica wasn’t a write-off and was worth being fixed.

The real question, Slone said, was the degree of responsibility for both Risley and Spares.

Slone notes Risley had no idea his pergola was in disrepair and simply assumed it was safe.

He said the billionaire was “partially at fault’’ for not ensuring the structure was stable.

The adjudicator found Risley 80 per cent liable, resulting in an order he fork over $2,572.

‘We didn’t ask for a meeting,’ Ottawa applies Trudeau says as he disputes brakes to request for Trump’s claim to reporters Greyhound extension TRANSPORTATION

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau says he made no requests to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump while the two leaders were in New York this week for the United Nations General Assembly.

The prime minister made the comment a day after Trump told reporters that he had rejected a request for a meeting with Trudeau to discuss the ongoing renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Referring to Trudeau, Trump said Wednesday: “His tariffs are too high and he doesn’t seem to want to move. And I’ve told him, ‘Forget about it.’’’

But on Thursday the prime minister disputed Trump’s statement, insisting Canada made no such request.

“No, we didn’t ask for a meeting this time around,’’ Trudeau told reporters on his way to a

cabinet meeting in Ottawa.

In his remarks Wednesday, Trump also said the Americans don’t like Canada’s trade representative “very much’’ — a comment that appeared to be directed at Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland. She has been Trudeau’s point person during the talks.

Trump then reiterated his threat to slap punitive tariffs on Canadian auto imports to the U.S., a tactic experts on both sides of the border have warned would devastate the industry.

“Frankly, we’re thinking about just taxing cars coming in from Canada,’’ Trump said. “That’s the motherlode, that’s the big one.

We’re very unhappy with the negotiations and the negotiating style of Canada.’’

Trudeau gave credit Thursday to the Canadian negotiating team, and suggested the American side shouldn’t be sur-

prised by the tone of talks.

“The Americans are finding that the negotiations are tough because Canadians are tough negotiators, as we should be,’’ he said.

“A good and fair deal is still very possible — but we won’t sign a bad deal for Canadians.’’

Freeland’s cabinet colleagues came to her defence Thursday as they arrived for their meeting on Parliament Hill.

“I think Minister Freeland is a great foreign minister every single day,’’ said Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. “She stands up for Canadians’ interests and our workers.’’

Canadians should be “very grateful’’ for Freeland’s work, added Indigenous Services Minister Jane Philpott.

“Minister Freeland is doing an outstanding job at a very difficult task on behalf of all Canadians,’’ she said.

WINNIPEG — The federal government has rejected Manitoba’s request for Ottawa to pay Greyhound to keep operating in Western Canada for a few more months.

Greyhound announced in early July that it will end bus service between British Columbia and northern Ontario on Oct. 31, except for the Vancouver-Seattle route.

Manitoba wanted the senior government to ask Greyhound to extend service by at least 60 days to allow other businesses to fill cancelled routes, and have Ottawa foot the bill for the extension if the company demanded it.

Manitoba Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler said his counterparts in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario agreed with that idea, and Premier Brian Pallister raised it at the premiers

meeting last summer.

But federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau told the Winnipeg Free Press newspaper on Wednesday that this option is off the table.

Provincial regulations gave Greyhound a monopoly on the busiest routes, which was contingent on the firm serving some of the least populated ones.

“We looked at this extensively, and I will say that we haven’t left any stones unturned,’’ Garneau said. “There will be gaps and so we are addressing those and looking at them, and working with the provinces.’’

The transport minister also said he’ll go public once the two levels of government agree on a plan.

Provincial regulations gave Greyhound a monopoly on the busiest routes, which was contingent on the firm serving some of the least populated ones.

WORLD NEWS

China urges U.S. to stop slander after Trump’s claims U.S. president says he has proof of China’s election meddling ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — Beijing urged the United States on Thursday to stop slandering China after U.S. President Donald Trump accused the Asian giant of trying to interfere in upcoming American congressional elections.

Geng Shuang, a foreign ministry spokesman, told reporters at a regular briefing in Beijing that the Chinese government does not interfere in other countries’ internal affairs.

Trump said on Wednesday as he chaired the U.N. Security Council for the first time that China was meddling in the elections because it opposes his tough trade policies. The White House provided scant evidence of anything akin to the level of Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

In Beijing, Geng said China urged the U.S. to “stop making unwarranted accusations and slanders against China and stop the words and deeds that harm bilateral ties and the fundamental interest of the two peoples.’’

Trump made his accusation against the backdrop of the special counsel’s investigation into Russian interference in the last election to help him and amid concerns that this November’s elections could also be vulnerable.

Asked later what evidence he had, Trump said there was “plenty’’ but didn’t immediately provide details, suggesting that some of the material was classified. Instead, he zeroed in on China’s efforts to flood the U.S. heartland with ads and statements against Trump’s billions of dollars in tariffs on Chinese goods.

Trump added: “I don’t like it when they attack our farmers and I don’t like it when they put out false messages. But beside that, we learned that they are trying to meddle in our elections and we’re not going to let that happen just as we’re not going to let that happen with Russia.’’

Trump later tweeted a photo of an advertising insert called “China Watch,’’ saying China was placing propaganda ads in the Des Moines Register and other newspapers to make it look like news.

Geng, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, defended the use of the paid insert in the Des Moines Register, saying it didn’t break any U.S. laws.

“Labeling such normal cooperation as the Chinese government’s attempt to interfere in U.S. elections is totally farfetched and fictitious,’’ he said.

Israel: Iran has ‘secret atomic warehouse’ ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAMEROON, Cameroon — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran on Thursday of keeping a “secret atomic warehouse’’ just outside its capital, despite the 2015 deal with world powers that was meant to keep it from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Holding up a poster-board map of an area near Tehran before world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly, Netanyahu said Iranian officials were keeping tons of nuclear equipment and material in a warehouse near a rug-cleaning operation.

There was no immediate comment from Iran.

Netanyahu’s disclosure — which he presented as a big reveal on the international community’s biggest stage — came four months after Israel announced the existence of what it said was a “half-ton’’ of Iranian nuclear documents obtained by Israeli intelligence in the Shourabad neighbourhood near Tehran.

Accuser takes stand in ‘circus’ U.S. Senate hearing ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Christine Blasey Ford says her strongest memory of the time she alleges Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teens is the laughter.

Ford has accused Kavanaugh, U.S. President Donald Trump’s nomination for the Supreme Court, of sexually assaulting her at a party 36 years ago and took the Senate stand Thursday.

Ford, a research psychologist and professor, told the Senate Judiciary Committee that “indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter.’’

She was describing

Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, the other teen she says was present as they locked her in a room at a party.

The 51-year-old mom from Palo Alto, California, was asked what her strongest

memory was.

Kavanaugh took the stand after Ford and described the confirmation process as “a circus” and said the accusations against him are an attempt to smear his name.

She Kills Monsters features a ‘strong badass female’ The latest from TRU’s student actors takes place in a Dungeons and Dragons-inspired world KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

R

obin Nichol admits to being a bit of a troll.

Not in the online-comment mode however. She “trolls” through playwright publishers catalogues and websites showing universities theatre departments, looking for plays that simply take hold of her.

She found it in She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen and it will open the season at the Actors Workshop Theatre at Thompson Rivers University.

The theatre co-ordinator there liked it for many reasons. With a cast of 10, it’s feasible to cast with students in the program. It features “strong badass female” lead characters.

The story is engaging, wandering into and out of reality as Agnes delves into a notebook her younger sister wrote in before her death as a teenager.

And it exposed her to the game Dungeons and Dragons, just enough to figure out how it

fits into the story of Agnes learning about the dead Tilly.

Nichol called it one of the most ambitious plays she’s directed during her time at TRU. It’s “chaotic but disciplined.”

There are fight scenes she had choreographed by the experts who helped the University of British Columbia theatre department when it mounted the show last year.

The weapons are more than swords — since the fights take place in the word of Dungeons and Dragons, just about anything can become a weapon.

There are projections to move scenes along, puppets to help populate at least one of the two worlds and, set in the 1990s, there’s plenty of that decade’s pop references, some of them the kind that will make those who remember the ‘90s either smile or wince at the recollection.

The story is simple in its complexity. Agnes’ family dies. Years later, Agnes discovers Tilly had created her own scenario for

SEAN BRADY/KTW From left, Jakob Kopytko as Orcus, Avie Cachelin as Evil Tina and Kennedy Aberdeen as Agnes.

Dungeons and Dragons, a game Agnes didn’t know her sibling was involved with. She enters that scenario, accompanied by a Dungeon master and the dragons who live there.

She battles her way through it, occasionally returning to her “other” world and the reality of a boyfriend, co-workers and students at the school where she teaches.

It’s the D&D world that continues to beckon her and, as she moves forward, she learns things

about her sister she never knew when she was alive — largely because while they were family, Agnes saw her sister as a pouty annoyance.

Described as a comedy/ drama, the play hits its pivotal point when monster-slaying Agnes tells dead Tilly “I would never forget you” — and her sister replies “You did when I was alive.”

It’s important for the play to be set in the 1990s, Nichol said, because D&D was still a “base-

ment nerdy thing,” and the issue between the sisters was often dealt with differently then.

The play opens at the Black Box Theatre in the Old Main Building on Wednesday, Oct. 3, and continues to Saturday, Oct. 6. It repeats the following Wednesday, Oct. 10 and closes on Saturday, Oct. 13.

Tickets are $15 and available at TRU’s Black Box theatre in Old Main, 835 University Dr. For more information call 250-3776100.

Juno-nominated blues trio will play Kamloops Friday SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he conditions were just right on Oct. 16, 2014, when Tim Williams, Kenny Wayne and Brandon Isaak met after playing the Klondike Roots and Blues Festival in Whitehorse and, in just two days, produced a Junonominated blues album.

The chemistry between the three Canadian blues greats was so good they stuck around after the festival to play a few extra shows.

The album, Big City Back Country Blues, received an official release in 2017 and following positive reviews and a win at the YYC Music Awards, it was recommended to the trio they submit it for consideration at the Junos.

They were met with a nomination for best blues album for 2018.

Now, their tour is continuing and on Friday the trio will be at Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St., for a show at 7:30 p.m.

According to one member, the trio’s chemistry stems from two things: listening and respect.

“There are a lot of people who sit in and jam and you can tell the ones who are actually listening hard to what the other is doing,” Williams said.

It’s not just the sense of mutual respect among the trio. It’s also a common sound and style.

“All of us love that pre-Second World War bluesy sound without big amps and big rhythm section,” he said.

Williams has an entire catalogue of influences, but his formative years spent listening to blues legends in California and along the U.S. west coast played a big part.

“There were coffee houses between San Diego and Seattle and you would see guys like Lightnin’ Blues Hopkins or Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys, the Stanley Brothers — singersongwriters like Tom Paxton and even comedians like Pat Paulsen and Steve Martin, who was a banjo-playing comedian at the time.

“Bookers were a little more open to experimentation then,” he said.

For Williams, the style he has come to love to play comes from the fact that it presents a challenge.

“I find there’s no place to hide with the acoustic stuff,” he said.

“You have to be able to play the groove and play the top end and deliver the tune all at once.

It’s very challenging and it’s very rewarding when you get it right.”

Left to right, blues players Tim Williams, Kenny Wayne and Brandon Isaak.

But with that reward there still comes a risk for Williams.

“Oh, man. I’ve done this for like 50 years and there’s still evenings of pure, raw terror,” he said.

Despite the occasional bouts of terror, Williams told KTW it doesn’t take much for him to get to where

he needs to be before a show, and that his experience is likely why.

“Really, all I have to do is pick up a guitar and play a couple licks and it puts me there,” he said.

“I don’t have to do drugs and think about my empty bank account or my first ex-wife or

Duo of plays from Kamloops Players The Kamloops Players are presenting encore performances of two plays with upcoming shows on Friday and Saturday.

Mrs. Dally Has a Lover is the story of a middle-aged woman dealing with her son’s death who finds love with a neighbour who recently graduated from high school.

Whisper Into My Good Ear tells the story of Charlie and Max, who have come together with the purpose of killing themselves.

Charlie has an invalid wife with dementia, he’s losing his eyesight, he had an abusive parent and he’s worn out. Max is simply a lonely man.

Tickets to the 7 p.m. shows at the Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille Rd., are $20 for adults or $16 for students, seniors and members. They are available at the door, cash only.

The Players will also be hosting a potluck dinner and play reading of Fuddy Meers on Oct. 5 at 6:30 p.m. The event is open to members and non-members alike.

Writers festival returns as Words Alive Kamloops KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

T

he Kamloops Writers Festival is no more — at least that’s not what it will be called when it returns this year.

Words Alive Kamloops is the new name for the festival, which organizer Lindsay Curry said was chosen because in addition to the traditional workshops for writers, the event will also focus on readers.

“So we are rebranding and expanding,” Curry said in a news release.

The event will begin on Friday, Oct. 19, with the Kamloops Word Walk, a series of free family-friendly all-ages events held at multiple locations, including the Kamloops Museum and Archives, Kamloops Library and North Kamloops Library, with other venues still to be announced.

On Friday evening, five guest authors will take part in a panel discussion at Hotel 540, 540 Victoria St., from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Authors include Sam Wiebe, Corinna Chong, Tariq Hussain, Kerry Gilbert and Dennis Staginnus.

Wiebe’s titles include crime novels Invisible Dead, Cut

You Down and Last of the Independents, which won him an Arthur Ellis Award for best unpublished first novel in 2012.

He’s also won the Kobo emerging writers prize, was shortlisted for both the City of Vancouver Book Award and Shamus Award and was the 2016 Vancouver Library writer-in-residence.

Chong teaches English and fine arts at Okanagan College in Kelowna. She’s also the coeditor of Ryga: A Journal of Provocations there and has been published in magazines across Canada. Belinda’s Rings was her first novel, published in 2013.

As a Juno nominated songwriter and recording artist in Vancouver, Hussain brings a different style of writing to the festival. He’s got five full-length albums under his belt and his latest due out this year. He also teaches songwriting at the University of British Columbia in its creative writing program.

Gilbert is a poet from the Okanagan who published her first book of poetry in 2005. She followed it with another in 2016, Tight Wire. Her latest suite of poems can be found in the verse manuscript Little Red, which will be published in the spring.

Staginnus writes middle

grade and young adult fantasy and sci-fi. His published works include The Eye of Odin, The Emerald Dagger and the series The Raiders of Folklore, which he successfully crowdfunded in 2017.

Saturday’s events include lunch and three workshop sessions, held from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Workshop topics include creating convincing dialogue, narrative in poetry, grammar, narrative structure and crowdfunding creative work.

That evening, a free music and readings event will be held at 7 p.m. with the location still to be announced.

On Sunday, workshop sessions will be held from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. and cover the same topics as Saturday’s workshops plus a panel discussion called Stories from Self-Publishing at 1:30 p.m.

A full festival pass costs $200 after Sept. 30 or $160 before.

Polaris prize a boon to First Nations music

RADIO EDIT

F

or 12 years, the Polaris Music Prize had been awarded to a Canadian artist who released the best album in the past year based on artistic merit. The winners are chosen by jury and the award is not based on album sales, radio play, genre or record label.

The award has been a boon for independent music, with artists usually pulled from the world of campus radio. There’s also a cash prize awarded — $70,000 — a jump up from the $20,000 awarded for the first prize in 2006.

This year, for the third time in five years, the award has gone to a First Nations musical artist.

Jeremy Dutcher’s Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa is a remarkably artistic and thoughtful album. Dutcher is from the Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick.

Dutcher studied music and anthropology at Dalhousie University and discovered the existence of a collection of wax cylinders stored in the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Que., of recordings of his ancestors speaking his traditional language of Wolastoqiyik.

Dutcher used the recordings in his album, along with his own music, which is based in modern classical piano and voice, plus elements of pop

and electronic dance. The music is incredibly deep, emotive and merges many different music styles in a groundbreaking work of art.

Dutcher is just one of many First Nations artists who have been coming into prominence in the last few years, and is also an artist that is redefining what is First Nations music.

A Tribe Called Red has become a huge draw across Canada, merging traditional powwow drumming and dancing with modern club dance beats. Tanya Tagaq, a past winner of the Polaris prize in 2014 for her album Animism, is an Inuk throat singer, and her music uses elements of rock and electronic to round out her sound.

Dutcher’s album has also revived interest in his First Nation’s traditional language. Some of the recordings of traditional Maliseet songs he found weren’t part of his people’s passeddown cultural heritage and had been forgotten. Now, they will be re-introduced into his people’s culture.

Linguists have been trying to record and preserve languages all over the world, and some First Nations languages in Canada are in danger of disappearing. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has made language preservation one of their most important calls to action.

Just over 4,000 speakers in British Columbia are fluent in First Nations languages and that number has dropped since 2014. More than 50 per cent of fluent speakers are over age 65.

Dutcher’s acceptance speech called the current movement of First Nations artists a “new native Renaissance.”

The Polaris prize going to an album sung entirely in a First Nations language can only help interest in First Nations arts and help preserve culture and language for generations to come.

GIVING THANKS FOR GOD’S GENEROSITY

O

ver the centuries, the story of the first celebration of Thanksgiving has been shared in many forms.

After enduring religious persecution in their native England and for 12 years in Holland, the pilgrims sailed for America.

They were modest men and women with a great hope and inward zeal.

They rested in the providence of God that he was leading them to a land of religious freedom to advance the gospel of the Kingdom of God. The voyage of the Mayflower boat took twice as long as Christopher Columbus’ voyage, enduring several wintry storms.

After arriving in their new land, they faced disease, famine, bitter cold and many dangers.

However, when the Mayflower made its return voyage,

NARYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have FAITH none of the pilgrims returned with it.

Their first harvest occurred in autumn of 1621. Their own seeds helped to plant corn which yielded a huge harvest.

Everything in our life that flows out of love has come to us from God. Everything that is good has been initiated by God. God does everything for us. His generosity is overwhelming.

His blessings are limitless. His love is endless.

No one favours us more than God. In providing us salva-

tion through his son, he removes every stain of sin.

He cleanses all the defilement of iniquity and he silences every voice of condemnation that hangs over our head.

All of God’s grace abounds toward his children. All of Christ’s riches are made available to us and all spiritual blessings are provided for us in Christ.

In Christ, we receive the treasures that can never be taken away, the hope that can never fade away, and the life that would never pass away.

As we walk with Jesus day by day, we find that our thankfulness to him is an ever-increasing symphony of praise, building into a lifelong crescendo of gratitude that flows from our heart to his.

We, who have so little, have received so much, because he has been so generous to us.

The Bible says: “We know in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).

Relating to this passage, the Christian Victory Magazine tells of a missionary who was seriously ill on the mission field overseas.

One month her cheque did not arrive from the home office and she was forced to live day after day on oatmeal and canned milk.

During those long weeks of illness and meager diet, she began to wonder if the Lord was neglecting her.

After about 30 days of the restricted diet, her symptoms disappeared and she returned to good health.

Not long after that, she got her cheque and was able to purchase some different food.

When her furlough came, she told of her great trial to an eager audience.

At the close of the meeting, a kindly doctor asked about her ailment.

When he heard of the nature of her digestive malfunction, he told the missionary, “Well, if your cheque had arrived on time, you probably wouldn’t be talking to me today.

“Because of what happened, your life was spared. You didn’t know it, but what is usually prescribed for cases like yours is a 30-day oatmeal diet.”

The missionary then realized how wonderfully God had cared for her in her time of need.

There are so many riches that God gives to us; so many answers to prayer that he grants to us; so many kindnesses that he manifests to us.

So many mercies that he extends to

COMMUNITY

us; so many benefits that he showers upon us. Everything we have has come from him, and that is the reason why our heart can be grateful.

Hence, on Thanksgiving 2018, thank God because: • He formed you and made you; • He has given you the breath of life; • He has given you today; • He is working in you to become all that He has intended you to be; • He is working everything in your life together for the good; • He is using your difficulties and trials to conform you to His image.

Thank God today for: • The forgiveness of sins; • The peace that passes all understanding; • The comfort of His presence that quietens your heart and calms your fears; • The hope that is in you because He has promised to be with you always; • The place in heaven that He has reserved and has prepared for you.

Thank God today with: • Words of exaltation; • Songs of celebration; • A heart of strong devotion; • Thoughts of deep reflection; • Acts of admiration • Claps of loud ovation.

“By him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name” (Hebrews 13:15).

The WHL board of governors will watch presentations from Kamloops, Kelowna and Lethbridge (in that order) and ask questions before voting to decide which city will host the 2020 Memorial Cup. “The work has been done and I’m really proud of Norm and our advisory board,” said Moores, the Blazers’ president. “We’ve been going at it for a long time.

Thankfully, it’s coming to an end and, hopefully, we come out on the right side of it. It’s so hard to know. You work hard to make sure

you’ve crossed every T and dotted every I.” Bidding teams are allotted five minutes to show a video (Kamloops-based company Joy Factory Films put together the Blazers’ offering) and 10 minutes for a presentation. Daley and Gaglardi will take the lead during Kamloops’ talk. Moores, Gaglardi and Daley will be available to

answer questions for 15 minutes following the presentation.

“You always have to have a few butterflies in your stomach to make sure you do a good job and you’re on your game,” said Daley, chairman of the Blazers’ advisory board.

“We feel that we’ve put together the information and the proposal we need to win the

day. That said, Lethbridge and Kelowna would probably feel the same way.”

Gaglardi, the Blazers’ majority owner, announced Kamloops’ intention to bid at a press conference last November.

Here are several reasons why Gaglardi believes the Tournament Capital should host: The team will be a contender, Kamloops is

a proven hosting community (see events such as Women’s World Hockey Championship and Brier), upgrades at Sandman Centre will boost arena atmosphere, none of the last four WHL hosts for the Memorial Cup were Western Conference teams (it has not been held in B.C. since 2007 in Vancouver), the league should not forget to cater to medium-size markets, the Blazers have formed a business advisory board that will make it work financially and the 2020 tournament marks the 25th anniversary of the Blazers’ last national championship victory.

Gaglardi’s points are sure to be mentioned on Wednesday.

Profit from the 2020 Memorial Cup will be shared by every team in the WHL, meaning governors will be keenly interested in business plans submitted by bidding organizations.

Nixed: Football under lights MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Football under the lights at Westsyde secondary was a highlight on the local high school sports schedule, but this year’s Texas-style hootenanny will be a daytime affair.

Kamloops-Thompson School District 73 backed a decision made by Westsyde principal Chris Preymak to move game time to 2 p.m. from 7 p.m., ending a tradition spearhearded in 2013 by Westsyde football coach Cleve Maartman.

“It was getting a little out of control from a school district perspective,” said Cory Bymoen, head coach of the Westsyde Blue Wave senior football team.

Preymak, in his first full year as principal at Westsyde, said he spoke to RCMP and others who were on site at the game last year and took their opinions into account when making his decision.

“We had thought about doing the game at six o’clock, but I sort of wanted to do due diligence,” Preymak said. “It felt rushed. I

KTW FILE PHOTO For some high school players, bursting through the Westsyde Blue Wave sign before the Friday Night Lights game in front of about 2,000 fans was the highlight of their sporting careers. This year’s crop of seniors will not get to experience the thrill, as concerns about underage drinking among students and other safety issues have led to an earlier start time for the homecoming game.

wanted to make sure the Ts were crossed and Is were dotted.”

“Ultimately, it’s a school decision. They [SD73] would have been on board with whatever decision I made.”

SD73 communications manager Diana Skoglund said the

school district may have agreed with Preymak, but it was a school directive.

Preymak said he will sit down with Bymoen and Maartman to discuss resurrecting the nighttime showdown in 2019, but the principal plans to stick with his

decision for this year.

Maartman acknowledges concerns expressed are valid — perhaps it was becoming too much of a party, with underage drinking and foolishness that accompanies it becoming a problem.

“But you don’t cancel it

because it goes sideways a bit,” Maartman said. “For lots of kids, this is their best game ever. They look forward to it.”

Westsyde will play host to the Clarence Fulton Maroons of Vernon on Friday, Oct. 12, in a pageantry-filled game and, “there will still be hoopla,” Bymoen said.

Maartman said he is on board with improving security and doing a better job of keeping tabs on students — changes he feels could have been made in time for next month’s tilt.

“If there was an academic event and it was really positive and some negative things affected it, you would put support in place,” Maartman said. “There was too much positive in this for it to be cancelled.”

The annual marquee matchup played a role in the revitalization of high school football in Kamloops, a sport that seemed to have reached a nadir in the city in 2013 when South Kamloops secondary, which has a proud football history, did not have enough players to field a team.

BLAZERS, ‘CANES, ROCKETS READY TO ENGAGE From A31

Can the Blazers bring forth a guaranteed money number that pleases the board?

Rockets’ owner Bruce Hamilton was reelected chairman of the WHL board of governors in June. He held the position from 1998 to 2004 and has held it since 2008.

Nobody has held the position longer.

Will his sway prove too much come voting time? Each of the 22 teams has one vote.

Kelowna held the Memorial Cup in 2004.

Lethbridge has never staged the event.

Gaglardi told KTW the decision on who hosts the tournament is, “more and more coming down to the perceived strength of your hockey club more than anything else.

Facility-wise, we have it all. The important part is to get the hockey side right and demonstrate to the rest of the league that we have Memorial Cup-calibre team.”

The Blazers were recovering from a horrid 0-9 start in 2017-2018 when Gaglardi shared his opinion. Kamloops went on to miss the playoffs last season, a failure that led to a complete organizational overhaul.

Head coach Don Hay and general manager Stu MacGregor were let go, along with director of player personnel Matt Recchi and assistant coach Mike Needham.

Mass changes and a struggling team might not have inspired confidence in the WHL board, but the Blazers seem to have come through the storm in promising shape on the ice.

It’s early, but the team formed by

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Zane Franklin appeals to the crowd after scoring for the Kamloops Blazers in a 4-1 victory over the Kelowna Rockets at Sandman Centre last Friday.

MacGregor, Recchi and the Blazers’ scouting staff, coached up by Hay and padded by new general manager Matt Bardsley, is generating buzz after a strong pre-season and two convincing victories over Kelowna to start the campaign.

The Rockets’ slow start to the season and depleted roster might not mean anything to some board members. Hamilton has a proven track record of assembling winning teams. The current Kamloops regime does not.

Meanwhile, in Lethbridge, general manager Peter Anholt and company have completely turned around the once Eastern Conference-basement dwelling Hurricanes.

CONTENTat Valentine’sSPONSORED Weekend

WELCOME TO THE HolMES IS WHERE

Fledgling high-end forwards Logan Barlage and Dylan Cozens, both first-round picks in the 2016 bantam draft, will be 18 next season.

Blazers eligible to be around next season, key pieces such as Brodi Stuart, Orrin Centazzo and Montana Onyebuchi, along with newcomer Zane Franklin, looked good on opening weekend. Early reviews are kind to head coach Serge Lajoie.

Two games may not mean much in the grand scale of a Memorial Cup decision, but 2-0 is more desirable than 0-2, especially when the victories were over the Rockets.

Being 4-0 after a strong weekend in Victoria wouldn’t hurt the Blazers, either.

“I’m glad that we had a good start,” Bardsley said. “It’s not going to hurt our chances. But, at the end of the day, they have to look at everything as a whole, as far as the team on the ice, the community that’s hosting and the ability to host. There is so much in play.”

Bardsley provided information on the outlook of the team for 2019-2020 to the Kamloops bid committee, notes likely to include assets such as draft picks that can be used to acquire players via trade if the Blazers win the bid.

Kamloops has a full set of picks for both the 2019 and 2020 bantam drafts, along with extra first-, fourth- and seventh-round picks in 2019 and an extra fourth-rounder in 2020.

Bardsley opted not to comment on current roster players, but Jermaine Loewen,

Luc Smith and Dylan Ferguson know they will hold value at or before the trade deadline in January.

Developing prospects who will be ready to contribute next season, including the fifth overall pick in this year’s bantam draft, forward Logan Stankoven, will surely get a mention.

Upgrades at Sandman Centre were delivered. Fans who came to the home opener on Friday likely would have noticed the new LED lighting system and loge seating.

Retrofitted boards and glass to improve safety are expected to be installed next summer.

“The crews that come through, TSN and CBC, they always remark at how good a shape this arena is for its age,” Daley said of Sandman Centre, which opened in 1992.

“They can’t believe it’s that old.”

Nathan Froese, who owns Joy Factory Films, is delighted with the hype-piece video his company created.

“It was a lot of work, a lot of shoots over like eight or nine months, digging up old footage and sending it to Vancouver to get it treated, shoots through the winter, getting Jon Keen calls ... we’re really proud of how it turned out,” Froese said.

Joy Factory’s owner will be glowing, along with Daley, Gaglardi, Moores and the rest of Kamloops, if the Blazers’ bid is successful.

Expect the decision to come down at about 2:30 p.m. Kamloops time on Wednesday.

SPORTS MAARTMAN NOT GIVING UP ON FOOTBALL UNDER THE LIGHTS From A32

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW It took two Kamloops Raiders to bring down this United Rugby Club ball carrier at Exhibition Park last Saturday. The men’s and women’s Raiders’ squads will be in action at Exhibition this weekend.

Raiders to host BCRU matches Matt Scott’s try late in the second half lifted the Kamloops Raiders into the lead and helped secure a comeback victory over Coquitlam-based United Rugby Club at Exhibition Park on Saturday.

Greg Thomson and Kevin Duggan also had tries for the home team,

which earned a 31-24 win in the B.C. Rugby Union men’s Division 2 tilt.

Thomson, a prop, booted four penalty kicks and two conversions.

The Raiders, who sit tied atop league standings with the Bayside Sharks (3-0) of South Surrey, will play host to

Langley Rugby Club (2-0) at Exhibition Park on Saturday.

Kickoff is slated for 12:45 p.m.

There will also be women’s rugby action at Exhibition on Saturday.

Kamloops (0-1) and Capilano (3-0) will scrum down at 11:15 a.m.

A crowd of about 800 showed up to watch Westsyde square off against the Mount Baker Wild of Cranbrook in the inaugural Friday Night Lights game in 2013. Westsyde won 16-8.

The Blue Wave battered the Valleyview Vikings 38-6 in front of about 1,300 spectators in 2014.

Kohl Hrycewich starred for Westsyde, rushing for 156 yards and three touchdowns on offence and recording two interceptions and a fumble recovery on defence.

South Kamloops and Westsyde squared off in 2015 in what was likely the most memorable of the showcase grudge matches, with players from each team dressing in retro jerseys and alumni from both schools flooding the sidelines.

The Titans (wearing Kam High Red Devils uniforms that night) earned a 38-9 victory, with about 2,500 gathered for the game. Musical performances at halftime and cheerleaders in action throughout the contest contributed to the atmosphere.

Valleyview scored an upset in 2016, edg-

ing Westsyde 13-12 in overtime in front of a crowd of about 2,000.

Vikings’ quarterback Hunter Koopmans called his own number on fourth and goal late in the game, plunging into the end zone from two yards out to tie the contest at 12-12. Scott Poelzer booted the gamewinning conversion.

The Blue Wave got back to winning ways on home soil last year, posting a 32-14 victory over the Titans. A pair of Westsyde standouts — QB Devon Konst and receiver Connor McCoy — stole the show with notable offensive performances.

Maartman has not given up. He has made calls to the city and game sponsors such as Warner Rentals to explore a location change.

The plan is to look into feasibility and make sure a plan is in place before making a request to keep the tradition alive.

“Maybe it’s not dead yet,” Maartman said. “I talk to so many parents and alumni who love it. It’s a highlight for other schools when they’re scheduled for our homecoming game.

“There’s a story here with the community not being happy with it being cancelled.”

Rookie Broncos’ QB emerging after rocky ride MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Reid Vankoughnett has taken a path often travelled by rookie athletes — get knocked down, take your lumps and get back up again.

The 18-year-old quarterback from Winnipeg joined the Kamloops Broncos in the summer and was given the keys to the offence, operating a B.C. Football Conference franchise bus on a learner’s licence.

Joyrides don’t often end well. Vankoughnett’s time in the driver’s seat lasted one week.

Vankoughnett, who came highly touted out of high school, was 4-for-22 for 27 yards and one interception against the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna in a 56-6 loss at Hillside Stadium in Week 1.

Nobody placed blame for defeat solely on Vankoughnett — the 4-2-1 Sun are better than the 0-7 Broncos, who will miss the playoffs this season — but the speed of junior football

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops Broncos’ quarterback Reid Vankoughnett has scrambled to catch up with the speed of junior football.

appeared too much to handle, at times, for the recent Dakota Lancers’ graduate.

Rylan Matters started under centre in Week 2

and completed 11 of 27 passes for 130 yards and one interception in a 42-0 loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders (5-2-0)

of Nanaimo.

Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamoaka stuck with Matters, who led the first team during practices while Vankoughnett took control of the scout squad.

“He put his nose to the grindstone and worked hard and learned more and kept working,” Yamaoka said. “His mindset was, ‘I’m going to become the starter again.’ It’s a refreshing attitude to have.”

Vankoughnett was ready when his number was called against the Valley Huskers (4-3-0) of Chilliwack in a Week 5 matchup in Kamloops on Sept. 8.

“I competed as hard as I could trying to earn my spot back and finally got it back when Rylan went down with an injury,” Vankoughnett said. “I’ve started to figure out the speed, figure out my reads. I’ve been listening to the coach a lot, figuring out where I need to go with the ball.”

Numbers from the Sept.

8 game don’t exactly jump off the page. Vankoughnett

was 10-for-23 for 99 yards passing, two interceptions and one touchdown. He also rushed nine times for 33 yards in the 49-25 defeat.

Yamaoka saw enough to start Vankoughnett the next weekend against the Westshore Rebels (3-3-1) in Victoria, noticing the rookie QB seemed more confident in his decision-making.

“He’s on a fast-track,” Yamaoka said. “He’s probably one of the mostimproved players on our team.”

Vankoughnett — whose father, Dave, enjoyed an 11-year career on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’offensive line — enjoyed a breakout game against the Rebels, going 15-for-35 for 269 yards and two touchdowns.

Westshore won 34-20.

“With the speed being so much faster, I’ve started to react quicker and trust my first instinct, rather than second guessing myself and waiting too long before it’s too late,” Vankoughnett said.

The Raiders bested the

Broncos 31-7 at Hillside last weekend, leaving Kamloops with one chance to post a victory on home turf this season.

Two road tilts — against the Rams (4-3-0) in Langley on Saturday and Sun in Kelowna on Oct. 7 — will be followed by a home game against Langley on Saturday, Oct. 13. Game time is 4 p.m. at Hillside.

“We’re looking to next year, really, at this point,” said Yamaoka, noting he would like to be back on the sidelines in 2019.

“Obviously, we want to win a few games at the end of the year here and push to get something positive out of the season, but we want to get some of these young guys in.”

Vankoughnett is one of those young guys, a humbled rookie who is learning from mistakes.

“We are definitely building something special,” Vankoughnett said. “We still have pride and we’re still going as hard as we can at every practice. We don’t give up.”

he wind whips around the side of the gigantic Inukshuk and broadsides my face with a stinging cold.

Despite the sunshine and blue sky, I shiver as blue waves and chunks of ice jostle in Hudson’s Bay. I am on the shore of the Bay in Churchill, Manitoba. It is a town almost at the Arctic Circle and only accessible by air during the winter — the very definition of remote.

Yet, at the beginning of November, its population swells with visitors like me, hoping to see that iconic king of the north, a polar bear in the wild.

My fellow polar adventurer Melanie and I have joined a tour group of like-minded photographers eager to learn about Churchill and to rumble about over the tundra in search of bears.

As the snow and cold envelop the town, bears congregate at the edge of the bay and wait for ice to form. They are hungry, not having eaten much since the ice melted in early summer.

Polar bears can only hunt for ringed seals — their main food — from out on the ice floes. So the bears wait and conserve as much energy as possible until the ice is thick enough to support them.

Then, they can hunt.

We are told to stick to the town centre when out walking.

Bears will venture into town and caution is a necessity.

Humans are not ahead of these formidable predators in the food chain. When a bear wanders where it should not, it is captured and held in polar bear jail for one month before being helicoptered far from town and released.

Keeping alert, we wander down main street with the snow

squeaking beneath our boots.

When a blizzard reduces visibility to nil, we rapidly change our minds about being out and so head for warm safety.

For our bear-watching on the tundra, we have three trips in a tundra buggy. It is a bus on steroids, with one and a half metretall wheels, lots of windows, a back deck open to the elements and a driver with a ready smile.

He motors us slowly over the bumpy tracks, meandering along as we scan the horizon for animals.

The pale light of daybreak brightens and spotting a red fox streaking across the snow wakes us from our morning stupor.

Then, we spot a black fox sniffing with lowered snout before pouncing on something

hidden in the snow. A ptarmigan in its winter white feathers is nearly camouflaged amongst willow branches.

Our naturalist guide tells us the bears are not pure white and so to watch for “something moving the colour of a potato chip.”

Sighting our first bear brings a hush over the bus. He shakes off some snow, stretches and does a roly-poly yoga routine that has us all laughing.

Farther along, a female and her cub paw into the frozen ground and eat some kelp. It is a good source of iodine for them, causing both bears to have dirty brown faces from the mushy food.

Fortunately, we do not see any starving bears, but the ever decreasing sea ice threatens their

very survival.

Our bear count for day one is nine and day two gives us 14 bear sightings. Some are close up, some very distant. Sometimes the light is eerily grey-green. As other tundra buggies emerge from out of the haze. It’s like a scene from a science fiction movie.

Day three is spent observing a magnificent male with enormous paws and the cutest face. He hunkers down in a snow bank, snoozes for about 45 minutes, then stands, stretches, shifts, scratches, sniffs or yawns for about five minutes before curling up to sleep again.

While he rests, we visit with our fellow travellers. Melanie and I are the sole Canadians and with the exception of one Swiss, the rest are American. Six hail from

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Herbert Leonard Henri June 15, 1927 Duncan, BC September 23, 2018 Kelowna, BC

Herb passed away peacefully on September 23, 2018 after a battle with ALS, which he fought all the way.

Survived by his loving family: wife Margie, married 68 years, sons Don (Sally) and Doug (Randi), grandson Trevor (Rachael), great-grandchildren Andrew and Marian, step-granddaughter Paula (Roger), step-grandson Justin (Amanda), greatgrandsons Tyler (Christina), Mathew (Ty) and Cole, great-granddaughter Jordanna, great-greatgrandchild Lincoln and honorable grandson Christopher Baker.

In his early life, Dad took up the saxophone and clarinet and persuaded some friends to form a group who played the Fraser Valley, in New Westminster and Harrison Hot Springs.

In his early 20s, Dad went to work for Whonnock Lumber, starting on the green chain. He worked his way up to vice president of Whonnock Industries, manager of Holding Lumber at Adams Lake Shuswap, eventually moving up country to settle in Chase, BC and later to the Kelowna area. The company was purchased by International Forest Products of which he became a director and was

involved in the acquisition of 5 more lumber mills and seven logging operations.

In Loving Memory of

In the 1970s, he purchased a 172 Cessna. Mom and Dad had a great time exploring any place you could land a plane. Later when he got his float plane endorsement, he was able to get to the logging camps and fish the little mountain lakes.

In the 1980s, he took up skiing and tackled the interior mountains with his buddies.

December 20, 1929 – September 20, 2018

After 40 years with the company, Dad retired and it was time to play. He and Mom travelled the world, visiting over 50 countries and, as he was an avid golfer, playing at St. Andrews in Scotland was a highlight.

Dad enjoyed being with family and friends; he always made sure you were being looked after and would help you with anything that was needed. He will be dearly missed.

Special thanks to Dr. Parsons and the staff of Mission Creek Landing who looked after Dad with consideration and loving care.

Should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the ALS Society of BC, www.alsbc.ca.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, September 29, 2018 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Rd, Kelowna, BC.

In Loving Memory of E. Paul Adkin

July 8, 1989 to September 28, 2016

Time speeds on Difficult to believe two years have passed, Since death its gloomy shadow cast Upon our home, where all was bright And took from us a shining light, We miss that light, and ever will; Your vacant place none can fill, Here we mourn, but not in vain Paul, For in Heaven we will meet again!

With much love from your family and many friends

It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of our loving Mother, Grandmother and GreatGrandmother Anne Kuz. She is survived and will be missed by son Ron, daughter Judy (Jock) Stewart, grandchildren Todd Stewart (Crystal), Keith (Brandalyn) Stewart, Tarra (David) Hinton, great-grandchildren Marissa Stewart, Troy Stewart, Lexi Stewart, Cameron Hinton. She also leaves behind several cousins, nieces and nephews.

Predeceased by her husband Tony in 2011, mother Mary, father William and only brother Sam. Anne was born December 20, 1929 on her family farm in Fork River, MB. She moved to Kamloops in 1949 where she met Tony Kuz. They were married on October 28, 1950 and raised two children Ron (1952) and Judy (1954).

She was a lifetime member of The Ukrainian Catholic Church. She especially enjoyed her time spent at the numerous work-bees with her friends of the Ladies League as they prepared perogies, etc. for upcoming events. She loved her flowers and garden, with her roses being her pride and joy. Another favourite pastime was playing cards, with many games of crib being played over the decades.

The family would like to extend a thank you to the nurses and staff at Overlander Extended Care (Evergreen) for their care, kindness and compassion given to Anne over the years.

Prayers will be held at Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church, 109 Tranquille Rd., Kamloops, BC on Friday, October 5, 2018 at 7:00 pm. Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, October 6, 2018 at 10:00 am. Graveside Interment to follow at Hillside Cemetery.

Alan Richard Husband Dad was born in Lethbridge, Alberta (the windy city). He was an only child, quite rare in those days (1922). After he graduated from high school, he enlisted in the Air Force and served his country in WWII. He met our Mom Ellen Betty while overseas. Ken, my older brother came along in 1952 and I (Brian) came along in 1956. Once Dad became established as an Air Traffic Controller, he worked out of Pat Bay on Vancouver Island and also Prince George airport, but spent about 18 years at YVR. He received a promotion to Officer in Charge for Kamloops in 1969. The same year that he re-married. Together, Marguerite, Dad, Ken and I began a new life in Kamloops. He built a large home on a half acre in Dallas, where they lived for 25 years.

He loved to garden and fish. He also loved bird watching.

His favourite food was Chinese. Once Marguerite passed on in 2005, we sold his home and he moved into Berwick for several years, where he had lots of friends. Then, as he became immobile, he moved into Pondersa Lodge. He was only there two months, but he was well liked and well cared for.

His final days were at Royal Inland Hospital, as he developed an internal problem. He taught me and my brother and a lot of people how to rise above pain and suffering . I was lucky to spend lots of time with him. And enjoyed my birthday with him on September 5.

It was the last time I saw his face. He was happy and laughing. He passed away peacefully in the early hours of September 17, 2018. He is reunited now in the afterlife with all his family, friends and pets.

Until our spirits meet again Dad, forever in my thoughts and heart.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Deborah Chiyoko Studer (née Nagai) Deborah Chiyoko Studer (née Nagai) passed away in the early morning of September 17, 2018 surrounded by her loved ones. Deb had a profound impact on countless people in her lifetime and in the days leading to her death, the hospice house where she stayed was flooded with visitors who wanted to see her one last time – it was a testament to who she was.

Deb battled through many years with health challenges including lupus, kidney failure, kidney transplant and eventually lung cancer. Despite those challenges, most who met her were surprised to learn that she was sick because of her energy and the passion for life that she exhibited. She simply refused to be defined by the challenges she faced in life.

Deb was only fifty-six years old but most would be lucky to distill as much as she did out of life. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, “Bachee”, friend, nurse and survivor. She is survived by her husband Gregg Studer, her two adult children James (Karman) Studer and Jordi (Tanner) LeBourdais (née Studer) and their children Quinn and Claire, as well as her four adult nephews Rob (Heather) and son Rory Nagai, Theo (Michelle) and three children Madeline, Alex, and William Nagai and twins Tim Nagai and Jeremy (Lisa) and son Lawrence Nagai.

Born on Christmas day, Deb was a truly special person. She was raised in Kamloops where she met many of her lifelong friends, including those that would help care for her in hospice. In high school she met her husband Gregg.

Deb and Gregg married in 1981. They were

fortunate to have their son James in 1983 and were again blessed with their daughter Jordi in 1986. Deb and Gregg raised their kids with love and adoration from the time they were born and continued into adulthood. They sacrificed everything they had to ensure the best for their kids. Their home was a welcomed community centre for all of James and Jordi’s friends throughout the years. They spoke into many children’s lives and their house carried an indescribable warmth that attracted all.

Deb obtained her Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Nursing while raising her two children and then earned her Master’s Degree from UBC while doing dialysis, being treated for kidney failure and continuing to work full time.

Since 2001, Deb worked as a Registered Nurse working at various wards and clinics. Her infectious spirt touched everyone around her.

She was known to patients and colleagues for her positive outlook, kind heart, and her ability to always know the right thing to say. Ironically, Deb spent the majority of her nursing career at the Cancer Clinic at Royal Inland Hospital where she will be missed greatly.

Deb was a devout Christian and regularly attended church at Full Gospel, Southwest Baptist and The Calvary Temple. She spent many hours volunteering in the church kitchen with husband Gregg, her mother Kimi and auntie Tomi. They made planning and orchestrating meals look “easy” even when feeding hundreds of people despite having no formal catering experience. Deb and Gregg built a great community with the people from the churches they attended.

In her spare time, Deb would usually be found outdoors hiking with her “grand-dog” Jack and any one of her many friends who often joined her. Deb found peace in the outdoors and loved

geocaching with the younger people in her life.

Deb loved children. She was incredibly happy to become a grandmother but she also was an influential presence for many of her friends’ children. She embraced all children with open arms and spoke wonders into all. Children from all ages loved her.

Deb truly was a big kid at heart. Throughout her lifetime, she could be found hiding under blankets, playing on the playground and especially in the last year, tucked in the McDonald’s play place with her grandchildren.

After Deb’s lung cancer diagnoses and treatment, she battled hard but preferred spending time with her two grand-babies Quinn and Claire.

Everyone close to her knew her true and genuine love for these girls. Her only regret was that she would not see them grow up.

Deb was a beacon of light to all those who were fortunate to know her. She embraced everyone she met and always treated people with respect and kindness. She lived her life in a way that celebrated everyone else before herself; she epitomized generosity and self-sacrifice. Despite her health challenges, Deb lived a full life. She was a pillar of strength to everyone around her.

There will be a service held in honour of Deb on Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 3:00 pm at The Calvary Church. If you knew Deb, you are welcome to attend. She would want those who knew her to remember the happy times and to celebrate a life well lived. In honour of Deb, please feel free to wear something colourful to the service.

It is with heavy hearts we announce that Umberto Domenic Castagna of Kamloops, British Columbia passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital after a long courageous battle with cancer, his family by his side, the morning of Sunday, September 23, 2018.

Umberto is survived by his devoted and loving wife of 54 years Carmela, his two sons Aldo (Carol) of Naramata, BC and Nick (Sheri) of Kamloops, BC, four grandchildren Ashleagh, Anthony, Domonic and Caleb, his sister Francesca Ercolano, his sister-in-law Ada Marchio and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Arnaldo and Caterina as well as his sister Theresa Pullano.

Umberto was born on April 8, 1938 in Albi Catanzaro, Italy. Umberto and Carmela with their two-year-old son Aldo in 1967 decided to create a better life for themselves by moving to Canada. With very few possessions and no knowledge of the English language, they risked everything, travelling for many weeks across the Atlantic by boat and several days more from Eastern Canada by train to arrive in Kamloops. Umberto with a sponsorship by his brother-in-law, was able to gain employment at Balco Industries where he spent 35 years of hard work and dedication; retiring happily in 2002. After retirement, he was able to enjoy spending time with his four grandchildren of which he loved dearly. Being a long-standing member of the Columbo Lodge, he contributed in countless ways but with his charm, sense of humour and ability to relate to a wide variety of people, his favourite role was that of bartender. His hobbies included gardening and landscaping for which he took immense pride in. He also enjoyed making his own wine and sausage; often times gleefully accepting assistance from his grandchildren who were always excited and willing to help their beloved Nonnu.

Carmela would like to express her sincerest thanks to all the support and love she has received during this incredibly difficult time in her life. Many thanks to Homecare Kamloops, especially Laurie and Beverley for going above and beyond their normal duties.

A formal Catholic Service will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at Sacred Heart Cathedral, 255 Nicola St, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, the family wishes to have donations made to your local Hospice Society.
