ALBERTA STEEL IN KAMLOOPS

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley addressed a convention of Western Canadian United Steelworkers in Kamloops on Wednesday. The event resembled a campaign rally and was held shortly after the NDP premier announced she will be running in the Alberta election, which will take place on May 31. Notley spoke on the need for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to proceed, saying, “It’s absolutely what needs to happen to create jobs and build prosperity for all of Canada and what we are doing right now is tying our hands behind our back in a way that just makes no economic sense.” To read more on Notley’s visit, turn to page A12.

TENTATIVE DEAL REACHED IN CASINO STRIKE MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A tentative deal has been struck between Gateway Casinos and the BC Government Services Employees’ Union after striking workers spent more than four months on the picket line. The agreement was reached at about 3 a.m. on Thursday after what the union described as marathon talks over the past two weeks. Details of the agreement are being withheld until it’s ratified. The picket lines will remain in place until that process is complete. “We need to make sure members understand the tentative deal and get a chance to vote before we release any details publicly,” said BCGEU president Stephanie Smith. Gateway spokesperson Tanya Gabara replied via email to KTW, confirming a tentative deal is in place. “We have no further comment while our employees review the terms of the tentative agreement and while

we wait for the union to provide further details regarding ratification,” the email stated. More than 675 employees at four casinos in Kamloops, Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon have been without a new contract since September 2017. They went on strike on June 29 of this year. The BCGEU had been fairly quiet about the negotiations in recent weeks because it wanted to focus on talks at the bargaining table, a union spokesperson said, with wages the primary sticking point. When labour action began, Gateway issued a statement claiming the union was seeking an average 62 per cent wage increase across the board, which it described as not reasonable. “If you have people that are currently at minimum-wage levels, which they are, then those increases are necessary simply to bring them in line with industry standards,” Smith told KTW in response at the time.

Bringing them Out of the Cold TODD SULLIVAN

STAFF REPORTER

todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

The snow hasn’t even hit the ground yet, but it’s already been a busy year for Kamloops’ Out of the Cold shelter. That’s because they opened their doors for 18 days during the hot summer months — a first time for the organization. “We had 558 come through,” said coordinator Renee Stein about the summer. “Our busiest day was 49. And then we do a whole homemade cooked lunch and whatnot, as well. And out of those 558, approximately one-third slept, so they had sleeping bags, because they weren’t sleeping during the night.” The shelter in St. Paul’s Cathedral downtown at Nicola Street and Fourth Avenue is now preparing for the arrival of winter. “Our guys and girls come in at seven o’clock and we provide them a bed, we provide clothing, toiletries, supportive emotional care, we provide them food, as much as they can eat, all night long. “And we also provide them a chance to sit and relax and watch TV, you know, and then they’re here until the morning and then we provide them a warm

breakfast. And then they head out for the day.” What Out of the Cold provides to that community is absolutely vital. In the last two years, more than 30 days saw the mercury dip below -10 C downtown, with 10 of those days reaching -20 C. “That doesn’t even account for the wind chill,” Stein said. “Considering you can get hypothermia at plus 10 sleeping outside, our guys and girls are at extreme risk.” Stein credits the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund as being a vital part of what will keep their doors open this winter. “It takes a lot to make sure that everyone is fed and housed,” she said. “Though we tried to keep our budget very small, we still have a budget that has to be paid. And we pay a very minimal rent, but then there’s all those extras. If we can’t get enough donations of food, then we have to purchase some.” Stein is hoping they will be able to find funds for a dryer. “A few guys lost fingers last year and it would be nice to be able to send them out with something dry in the morning,” she said. “It’s scary because you kind of think, ‘Who’s going to pass away before the city decides that they’re deserving of

care or they’re deserving of housing?’” This past summer saw Out of the Cold try something new with some of the shelter’s funds. They hired two homeless women to work as regular paid staff. “And it was incredible. They helped run our shelters. They were incredible,” Stein said. “They didn’t miss days. They showed up. And, yeah, they were some of the best staff we’ve had. It’s a wonderful bridge between the program and our guests. And that was really special.” Stein hopes they can find the money to do something similar for the winter, which is where the Christmas Cheer Fund — and the community — can help. “If you do have that little bit extra and you want to give to a great program, we can definitely put those dollars to use,” Stein said. “If you have extra sleeping bags or things you could donate. We’re completely depleted after the summer. We could really use some help that way. “Or, if you just want a really great program to be a part of, then we are always looking for new volunteers.” For more information on the program, go online to kamloopsoutofthecold.wordpress.com.

Man killed in hit and run had been released from RCMP cells hours earlier TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The man killed in a hit and run in downtown Kamloops in the early-morning hours of Oct. 20 had been released from RCMP custody 5.5 hours earlier, a fact that led to his death being investigated by the Independent Investigations Office of BC to get involved. On Thursday, the IIO issued its report into the death of 48-year-old Frank McDermott, finding no fault with Mounties in connection with McDermott’s death. (The IIO does not mention McDermott by name. KTW has confirmed his identify with multiple sources.) McDermott was arrested in Kamloops on Oct. 19 at 11:24 a.m. on an alcohol-related offence. McDermott was held in the Battle Street detachment’s cells until 8:08 p.m., when officers determined he was fit for release. Five-and-a-half hours later, at 1:37 a.m., police were called to Seymour Street near First Avenue, where it appeared McDermott had been hit by a vehicle. He was taken to Royal Inland Hospital, where he died from his injuries. Due to McDermott’s interaction with police shortly before his death, the Kamloops RCMP notified the IIO at 2:20 a.m. and an investigation was launched. “The objective of the IIO investigation is to determine if an officer, through an action or inaction, may have committed any offence in relation to the incident that led

to [McDermott’s] death,” IIO chief civilian director Ronald J. MacDonald wrote in his report. “The information from police indicated that [McDermott] was fit when he was released. A review of the CCTV (custody closed-circuit television) showed [McDermott] as he was released from cells. His behaviour and actions captured by the CCTV show a person who appears co-ordinated and sober,” MacDonald wrote. “The recording also shows [McDermott] talking to officers and walking away from the detachment in a co-ordinated manner. In addition, [McDermott] was dressed appropriately for weather conditions.” MacDonald noted McDermott was released nine hours after his arrest, which he said was ample time for McDermott to sober up. He also noted the collision that took McDermott’s life occurred more than five hours after he was released from custody. “As a result, it is clear there is no causal link between the actions of the officers and the death of [McDermott],” MacDonald wrote. “Indeed, once [McDermott] was sober, it was their duty to release him from custody.” In the days following McDermott’s death, an RCMP press release identified a silvercoloured Dodge Neon as the vehicle involved in the incident. On Oct. 25, police said the suspect vehicle was actually a blue sedan. This past Tuesday, a third press release said the blue sedan was no longer a suspect vehicle,

but that its occupants may be witnesses to the collision. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said investigators are not pleased with the way the story of the identification errors is unfolding in local media. “I think it’s losing oomph because, perhaps, the media is portraying that — putting a slant on it that police have changed their story again,” she said. “The important thing to remember is that a man died. We’re trying to solve this.” On Oct. 24, police seized a silver Neon that had been parked outside a house on Columbia Street. After the car was towed, its owner told KTW the vehicle had been parked on the street since the previous week and was not involved in the collision. Though the blue sedan is no longer a suspect vehicle, Shelkie said investigators are still hoping to speak to its driver and occupants about what they might have seen. “We’re looking at some video surveillance from different locations downtown,” she said. “From some locations, it doesn’t show a clear image of the suspect vehicle. We have the time that it happened.” Investigators believe the collision took place at about 1:30 a.m. and Shelkie said they are hoping to speak with anyone who was in the area at the time. “When investigating a crime, it isn’t always point A to point B,” she said. “New evidence leads us in new directions. The important thing to remember is we’re working to solve a hit-and-run fatality and we need the public’s help to do so.”

Fortunately, there is a range of legal remedies available to a beneﬁciary – from the citation of an executor who has not applied to probate, to an order that the executor reimburse the estate for losses, and all the way to the removal of an executor for egregious delays, incompetence, or dishonest dealings. If you are frustrated with an executor or suspect that the executor may be engaged in some kind of misconduct with regards to the estate, you should seek advice from legal counsel experienced in probate and estate matters.

As of Oct. 1, the company said it offered the union a monetary package with proposed wage increases that would have every employee receiving an increase from seven per cent to 19 per cent in the first year of the new deal. The days to come will reveal the final numbers. About 200 unionized employees at Gateway’s Cascades Casino in Kamloops have been conducting rotating strikes since walking off the job when mediated talks broke down. Negotiations stalled a few times over

the summer and controversy brewed, with union members describing close calls with motorists crossing picket lines, customer promotions from Gateway creating debate and the union bringing forth claims of policy misconduct by the company to the BC Lottery Corporation. Gateway has not commented on the state of business during the labour disruption, though the gaming revenue it and Chances Gaming Centre on the North Shore supply the City of Kamloops is expected to be lighter this year. Last Saturday night, about 50 customers could be found among the rows of slot machines at Cascades Casino,

along with a mostly empty parking lot and about 10 workers covering everything from security, the tables, cashier and bar. During a typical Saturday, the casino and parking lots are full. When the strike began, Gateway closed its table games, but three dealers were on shift last Saturday night, with two tables having customers at them. Match Eatery was also closed at the onset, but has recently opened on Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Business hours for the casino during the strike have been Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10 a.m. to midnight.

paper, which is then routinely not peer-reviewed. A Texas company called Cabell’s has a similar database of almost 9,000 journals it has deemed to be questionable. Pyne’s case has been reported on by the Vancouver Sun and The Economist. In a June story, The Economist detailed a sting operation undertaken by John Bohannon, a journalist with a doctorate in molecular biology. Bohannon created a fake paper that claimed a molecule found in lichens inhibits cancer, with no clinical trials cited and poor methodology presented. Bohannon created fake African medical institutes and invented names of fictional biologists. “Of 121 [journals] chosen from a blacklist, 69 per cent offered to publish the paper for a fee,” The Economist reported. “And, even when he turned to journals on a whitelist of supposedly trustworthy open-access journals, 38 per cent of the 167 he approached fell into the trap.” Robinson said the investigation, which is being undertaken by a committee that includes chair Mark MacLean of UBC and Carla Graebner of SFU, will consist of a review of documents, a site visit and interviews with people involved in the case, including Pyne, other faculty members and TRU administration. “They operate very

much like a public inquiry,” Robinson said, noting the university and faculty can choose not to take part. “We certainly hope that the administration will co-operate because it’s in everyone’s interest to get to the truth of the matter.” The CAUT will fund the investigation. “Even if the administration does not agree to participate, once they [committee] produce a

draft report, we share the findings with the administration one more time and ask them to correct any facts or provide any additional information,” Robinson said. Once the report is completed, Robinson said, the committee will have recommendations, depending on the findings. “If there’s no violation of academic freedom, they may still uncover

The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) is investigating whether a Thompson Rivers University professor has had his academic freedom violated. TRU professor Derek Pyne has been suspended by the university since June. While TRU brass will not comment on the reasons for the suspension — citing privacy rights of its staff, faculty and students — Pyne told the CAUT he was targeted by university administration after he published an article in the Journal of Scholarly Publishing (published by the University of Toronto) April 2017. Pyne’s article looked into the use of so-called predatory publishers by faculty members and administrators in TRU’s School of Business and Economics. At issue is the practise of university professors paying to have their papers published in journals with dubious reputations. David Robinson, executive director of CAUT, told KTW Pyne contacted the association in the late summer, asking that it launch an investigation into his allegations that TRU has violated his academic freedom. “We were hoping that the university and the local faculty association might have been able to resolve this,” Robinson said. “It appears that is unlikely right now.” The practise of paying to have papers published has led to Jeffrey Beall, a former University of Colorado librarian, creating a database of 12,000 such journals that demand payment in exchange for publishing a

some procedural problems that may have happened, so there may be some very detailed recommendations for the administration,” he said. If the committee has found Pyne’s academic freedom has been violated by TRU, it could recommend that the CAUT take further action. “Normally, Robinson said, that entails trying to negotiate a resolution with the administration. If the administration is not willing to do so, he said the CAUT’s governing body can impose censure on a university, something he said happens rarely, with the last such actions taking place about 15 years ago at First Nations University in Regina and in the 1970s at Memorial University in St. John’s.

PRO REP ROLLOUT IS A HOT MESS

e’ve received and published more than 70 letters on the pros and cons of proportional representation over the past few months. And, frankly, we wouldn’t blame you if your eyes glossed over at the mere sight of yet another letter with “pro rep” in the headline. For the most part, it’s been a divided push for each side’s preference, with very few compelling and objective arguments made. This is not surprising given persuasive writing arguments are made to do just that. But it feels like a wasted opportunity to throw the same rhetoric on the flaming pile over and over again in hopes that a final heave of an argument will sway a vote. There have been few compelling cases made on either side that haven’t involved overheated rhetoric and allusions to Hitler or the Nazis. It also feels as though the introduction of the options and the descriptions for the choices and their ramifications were needlessly complex and possibly intentionally opaque. Three prop rep options? Really? How was this seen as the way to go? There should have been a yes/no, pass/fail approach. The average person not fully versed in election-ese will look at the wording around each option and likely shrug. Try reading the descriptions in the mailout. Go ahead. We’ll wait. Here’s the link: https://elections.bc.ca/referendum/ OK, are you more confused now than you were before? Yup, us too, and we get paid partially to ingest, understand and disseminate difficult-to-decipher policy and rhetoric. It is frustrating and sad to see Elections BC proceed with a referendum this important to the makeup of future governments in such a confusing manner. Here’s wagering the returned ballots will number somewhere south of 25 per cent. — Vernon Morning Star

A world of vanilla awaits

ociety seems to have become a collective version of a panicky Basil Fawlty. Don’t mention the war. Or abortion. Or the homeless. Or gender. Or politics. Or addiction. Or religion. And, if you dare to mention those and other topics, be damn sure you do so with nary a critical thought lest feelings get hurt and lawsuits get launched. The flag flap in Kamloops is simply another example of society reaching the point where every viewpoint counts, where everybody deserves to be heard, regardless of how ludicrous the message. It cannot be surprising that Kamloops council has decided to suspend its new community flag policy due to possible legal challenges. Four months ago in this very space, I predicted as much. If one group has its flag raised, others will demand the same, like kindergarten kids fighting over the last toy in the box. Nobody can seem to accept that, sometimes, there are decisions made that do not include you. Consider it the evolution of the elimination of competition in favour of giving every kid a participation ribbon. It exists everywhere. There are politicians engaged with residents on social media who take pains to validate even the most inane comments. Rather than call out bullies or challenge factually weak arguments, these politicians make

MUSINGS sure to “respect the views” of even the most boorish of people. They run for office in a contest of literal winners and losers and argue that politics is not about winning and losing. We see this vanillafication of society oozing into other areas, where we have poured common sense, logic and solid opinion into a cultural blender and, somehow, out comes a pureé of pap. Proportional representation is on the ballot in the provincial mail-in referendum. Sure, let’s give everyone a sliver of a seat, even that guy over there running for the MarxistCanine-Flat Earth Party. There are no longer winners or losers. There are only people whose fragile egos must be stroked, usually by responding to Facebooks post blatantly fishing for compliments. Nobody is wrong; we are all right in different ways. We see it down at the arena, where coaches are fired (ahem, “retired”) because they cannot “relate” to today’s players.

We have essentially deified these athletes before they hit puberty, spending obscene amounts of money on special academies and telling them they are the next McDavid, Crosby and Gretzky rolled into one. They can do no wrong and God help the person who takes them to task for a lazy shift. Is it any wonder they would crumple under honest coaching criticism? Everybody must love everybody, be it on community flag poles or on the ice. Columbus Blue Jackets’ head coach John Tortorella touched on this kumbaya culture last week when he bemoaned the lack of “hardness” in today’s NHL. “There’s no hate and I miss that,” Torts said, referring clearly to the 60 minutes on the ice, not the life of players outside the rink. “We’ll have a beer after, but do we have to talk about it on the ice right now?” Sometimes I think we need more old-school John Tortorellas and fewer new-age Pete Carrolls. Torts labelled himself a dinosaur. Maybe I am one, too, a burgeoning curmudgeon who thinks the newfangled ways don’t make sense. I would go home, sit on my porch and yell at people to “Get off my lawn!” But that would likely lead to a human rights complaint. Today, we are all allowed on the lawn, regardless of who owns the patch of grass. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DONATIONS ENOUGH WITH THE FEAR-MONGERING DO GREAT THINGS

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Editor: On behalf of the Telus ambassadors, I would like to thank the people of Kamloops and the surrounding areas who gave so generously to the recent Telus garage and book sales. Thanks to all who came and purchased and some who gave because it was a good cause. Also thanks to the volunteers who worked so hard putting out the gently used items and manning the booths. All money collected goes straight back into local communities. Some of the charities are: Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, Kamloops Y Kids Toonie Toss, Y Strong Kids Campaign, Starfish Backpack Program, Joanna House, Mustard SeedNew Life Community and ASK Wellness Centre. Money is also used to provide comfort kits for the less fortunate and to buy turkeys for various lunch programs in the city. We also make lap blankets for care homes, greeting cards for the seniors’ centres and hundreds of heart pillows for two Vancouver hospitals that perform heart and lung operations. Your money does do great things. Janet Ellison Kamloops

Editor: Never mind all the fear-mongering and disinformation being put forth in electoral referendum discussion. And never mind the consistently distorted results inherent in our present voting process. It all comes down to just two things: money and power. Access to government is easiest under first past the post since it requires lobbying only a handful of politicians, mostly cabinet members. Legislation can be written

beforehand, presented and passed with minimal scrutiny. With proportional representation, all of that will change. It will become necessary to appeal to a larger audience — constituents — and then properly and openly debate the issues before anything gets passed. More involved? Yes, but it’s transparent and the results will be fair. First past the post was used effectively in an era when only male landholders were allowed to vote and there were only two par-

ties in the running. Our society has advanced since then. If you like the authoritarianstyle of government in the U.S. and now spilling over into Canada (Ontario) and think that would be good for us in B.C.,then by all means vote no in the referendum. If, however, you think enough is enough and want to hang onto what we can still call our own, then be democratic and vote yes to electoral reform. Anton Niedersteiner Kamloops

PATHETIC PLANNING, APATHETIC RESPONSE Editor: It is extremely frustrating to see the gross waste of taxpayer time and money on display in the 2018 referendum on electoral reform. British Columbia voters just took part in municipal elections. Requesting input on another vote days laterdoes nothing but create voter fatigue. We should have cast

our vote on electoral reform at the municipal polling stations. The resources were in place and the money had already been spent to collect the ballots. There is an added cost and inconvenience of a seperate referendum ballot collection. Relying on Canada Post during a time when the likelihood of a postal strike is elevated was not

Editor: While I appreciate that a private bus company — Ebus — has taken over some of the routes vacated by Greyhound, a significant number of Kamloops residents live on the North Shore.

well thought out. The referendum has not been publicly debated, nor has there been any real effort or success in disseminating information beyond the selfdeclared “short description” received in the voter package that arrived in the mail. Senior snowbirds have already started to leave the province and will therefore not be in receipt

of their packages. History would suggest this retired constituency is most likely to engage and bolster voter turnout rates. Due to mishandling of public engagement, we should expect an extremely low voter response. In this case, if voters are apathetic, it will be a result of the Elections BC process being pathetic. R. Grant Bennett Kamloops

It would make more sense to have the Vancouver bus route start at Northills Centre, which has easy access to Fortune Drive, then go to Sahali Mall to pick up South Shore residents. Dave Sutherland, Kamloops

OPINION Fixing the wrong problem

his month, Canada Post willing, British Columbians will be voting on whether or not to adopt a new way to elect our provincial government. One of the main arguments against our current first past the post (FPTP) system for electing members of the legislative assembly is that it regularly gives a majority of the seats in the legislature — and, therefore, 100 per cent of the power — to one political party that usually gets well under 50 per cent of the actual votes in the province. But it seems to me that isn’t the fault of the voting system we use. The problem, rather, is the corruption of our parliamentary system of government and the way it was actually meant to run. The principle of responsible government, developed in the parliament of the United Kingdom and adopted in the 1840s in Canada, means the government of the day is responsible to the legislature, whose members are responsible to the people who elect them. If the government does not have the sup-

TIM SHOULTS Another

port of the majority of the elected members — or in the beautiful old-fashioned parlance, “command the confidence of the House “ — it must either resign and either let another government have a try or call for an election. But that didn’t mean a government had to resign any time it lost a vote. Traditionally, the only automatic “confidence votes” were on the budget and the government’s agenda (the Speech from the Throne). The government could designate other votes to be “matters of confidence,” but it wasn’t a given that a member on the government side would have to vote on the government side for every single measure. Historically, this led to a balance of power

between a government and its elected members. An ambitious legislator who wanted to be part of the government had an interest in supporting the leader of the day on confidence measures. But that leader also had to keep his or her individual members happy and on side because the government’s power came from them — and members still had latitude to vote with or against the government on some matters. That meant the individual you and I elect directly had a lot more power to vote his or her conscience, as well as to change leaders or even change governments. However, as political parties became more cohesive and better organized, they became stronger, upsetting that balance of power. That means that when you cast a ballot in last year’s provincial election, you might have been voting for the actual person whose name is on that ballot, or you might have been voting for that person’s party or its leader. But if you liked Todd Stone, though not Christy Clark, for

instance, you had a difficult choice to make. Meanwhile, governments of all stripes got into the habit of making every single vote a confidence vote, making it much harder for individual members to vote their conscience without risking an election. Those two factors have made the power of the individual MLA — the person whose name is on the actual ballot — significantly weaker. How could this happen? Mainly because a huge chunk of how our government actually works — all the stuff described above — isn’t actually written down. Our system of government relies on convention and that tradition has become gradually corrupted. That’s how a vote for a person to represent a small portion of the province becomes a blank cheque to a different person to run the whole province for four years at a time. It doesn’t have to be this way. Look at the House of Commons in the UK — the system ours is supposed to be based on — where individual elected members hold significantly more sway

over their party leaders and where policy can actually be influenced and shaped by individual members without risking an election. Fix those issues and you fix the problems FPTP is tagged with, without losing the most important thing — the connection of local representatives to the provincial government. If we move to a system in which elected representatives are unmoored, even partially, from the communities they are supposed to serve, we lose the underpinnings of responsible government. I’ve indulged in a lot of political science nerdery here, but let me put it more simply. Imagine if you drove a car that’s designed to run on 10W30 oil, but for years you’ve been putting 0W20 in it. As a result, it’s not working properly. Do you change the oil or replace the engine? I think that’s the question we’re facing here. Let’s vote no to fixing the wrong problem and get on to fixing the real problem. Tim Shoults is operations manager for Aberdeen Publishing, parent company of KTW.

Notley stresses importance of pipeline in Kamloops talk Alberta premier says she wants B.C. to hear ‘both sides of the story’ MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley sees no need to punish B.C. as her government awaits the completion of a new National Energy Board review of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Notley was in Kamloops on Wednesday to address a United Steelworkers convention at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, where she stressed the importance of the project. Speaking to reporters following her speech, Notley said her relationship with B.C. — and fellow NDP Premier John Horgan, who is staunchly opposed to the pipeline due to environmental concerns — remains the same. While they disagree on the pipeline, she said, its fate is a decision that rests at the federal level. “Right now, the matter is being adjudicated through the NEB and will be addressed with respect to the consultations the federal government engages in with Indigenous people prior to taking it back to the executive council for the federal government to make a decision,” Notley told reporters. “It’s not really a matter in the scope of decision-making for the [B.C.] provincial government, quite honestly, and we’re here to talk to British Columbians so they can hear both sides of the story.” At the end of August, the Federal Court of Appeal overturned the Trudeau government’s approval of the pipeline expansion in a unanimous decision by a three-judge panel. That panel determined the NEB’s review of the project was so flawed it couldn’t be relied on as a basis for the federal government’s decision to approve the project. Last month, Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi ordered the NEB to undertake a new environmental assessment of the impact of increased oil tanker traffic of the B.C. coast, setting a deadline of late February to complete the process. Earlier this month, former Supreme Court of Canada Justice Frank Iacobucci was hired to oversee a new round of Indigenous consultations, with no deadline for completion. “I think the critical part of the process is for the NEB to extend its consideration

on to the issue of marine safety. I think they’re moving forward on that in an ambitious, but effective timeline,” Notley said. She said a timeline can’t be put on the Indigenous consultation component because an arbitrary deadline would undermine the process. As for her government’s decision this past spring to pass a bill allowing it to restrict oil and gas shipments to B.C. — a move made in response to Victoria’s opposition to the pipeline expansion — Notley said there is no point to enact the legislation now. That bill led to the B.C. government filing a lawsuit against Alberta. “Right now, what we know is the impediment to Trans Mountain’s construction is a function of the Federal Court of Appeal and the work now has to be done as a result of that judicial decision,” Notley said. The pipeline project has enormous

economic implications, not just for Alberta, but the country as a whole, Notley told a packed room in Kamloops. “It’s absolutely what needs to happen to create jobs and build prosperity for all of Canada and what we are doing right now is tying our hands behind our back in a way that just makes no economic sense,” she said. She said the project doesn’t have to be a matter of the economy versus the environment, noting the pipeline is a safer alternative to transporting oil via truck and rail and wouldn’t increase emissions as Alberta has a hard cap on greenhouse gases that come from its oilsands. Hundreds of union members from across Western Canada were in Kamloops for the District 3 convention, with Notley speaking just days after confirming her decision to seek re-election in the Alberta election, which will be held on May 31. —with files from Canadian Press

CNR train whistles to cease in Rayleigh Rayleigh residents will soon get some peace and quiet after city council rubberstamped the elimination of train whistles at Palmer Forsyth Road. For seven years, staff have received complaints from residents wishing to rid regular train whistles at the train crossing near the Tournament Capital Ranch. In order to accommodate the request under Transport Canada regulations, safety improvements were made to the

area in conjunction with the Canadian National Railway. Work included adding flashing lights and a stop sign, while also adjusting the gate-crossing clearance time. “That work was done. It’s been a couple years already. That work was done primarily by CNR, which would be the case moving forward,” city development director Marvin Kwiatkowski said. “Just to let you know, there wasn’t a big

outlay from the city.” Council voted unanimously in support of approving the resolution, which will now head to CNR, Transport Canada and other organizations. The city will also install sign posts at the crossing to inform drivers the whistle has ceased blowing. Whistles will still be used in the event of an emergency. The city has 26 train crossings and half of them have whistles.

Police say they have found human remains in the Lac du Bois area north of Kamloops as part of their investigation into a city man believed to have been murdered last month. Troy Thomas Gold, 35, was reported missing on Oct. 3. Within days, investigators said they had information indicating he had been murdered.

RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the investigation has focussed on the Lac du Bois grasslands, as well as two homes, one apartment and multiple vehicles. “We have been searching in Lac du Bois since Oct. 3 and, in that time, we’ve located human remains,” she said. “But they have not been identified.” Investigators believe Gold’s murder is connected to organized crime. Gold was a convicted killer who had also served a prison sentence for robbery.

“This case is connected to the local drug trade and these cases are always more challenging to advance,” RCMP Staff Sgt. Simon Pillay said. “Organized crime is a top priority for Kamloops detachment because of the violence that accompanies drug trafficking and the general criminal lifestyle.” Shelkie said suspects have been identified and all are known to police. The investigation is ongoing.

Another assault conviction TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former junior hockey player who has twice avoided jail in recent years after levelling violent attacks — one against a former girlfriend and the other against his father — walked out of court a free man on Thursday after pleading guilty to a new charge of domestic assault. Isaac Willard, 26, pleaded guilty to assaulting another girlfriend earlier this year. On Feb. 22, police were called to the Sorrento home Willard shares with his mother to investigate a report of an altercation. Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said Willard, his then-girlfriend and a group of friends were drinking in the basement of the home when Willard began acting rude. Balison said Willard’s girlfriend got up to leave with her dog and

was dragged outside and pushed into the snow by Willard. Willard has a history of launching into violent rages. In April 2015, Willard attacked his then-girlfriend while walking home from a Chase pub. In that case, he grabbed her by the hair, forced her to the ground and began punching her in the face and kicking her in the ribs. A neighbour heard screaming and called 911. The victim was left with injuries to her nose and ear, as well as several broken teeth. Willard was not jailed, but placed on house arrest for 75 days and ordered to pay $6,600 in restitution to cover dental bills. Two weeks after the incident in Chase, Willard attacked his dad in a violent, steroid-induced rage, also breaking the nose of a woman who attempted to intervene. Willard’s father required reconstructive facial surgery and suffered

a long-term eye injury. In 2016, when Willard was sentenced for the attack on his father, Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said he would have been seeking an 18-month jail sentence if not for Willard’s father’s pleas for a light sentence. For the attack on his father, Willard was placed on six months of house arrest and a lengthy term of probation. In court on Thursday, Balison and defence lawyer Don Campbell pitched a joint submission for time served, taking into account four days Willard spent in custody following his February arrest. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison went along with the deal, also placing Willard on a year-long probation term with orders barring him from contacting the victim or consuming alcohol. He will also be required to attend counselling as directed by his probation officer.

Old Mac Isle golf course DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL should be multi-use space Christmas Tradition SO SAYS THE CITY’S PARKS AND REC COMMITTEE IN A RECOMMENDATION TO KAMLOOPS COUNCIL

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city’s parks and recreation committee is recommending the former McArthur Island golf course become a multi-use space, complete with a disc golf course. On Thursday morning, the committee voted to have city staff pursue budgeting and prepare a report to council, with the goal of a shovel-ready project to begin in the summer of 2019. Committee members said they were pleased with work done by city staff to appease concerns raised by the Kamloops Naturalist Club, which maintains disc golf is incompatible with a nature park they envision for the 7.5-hectare site. “It shows inclusiveness, of everything being able to work together,” parks and recreation committee member Dino Bernardo said. City nature park crew leader Kirsten Wourms recently travelled to the Lower Mainland to visit multi-use parks and investigate concerns surrounding environmental damage, wildlife safety and issues over mixing passive and active spaces. Wourms visited Queen Elizabeth Park, Quilchena Park, Shawnee Mission Park and Dale Ball Passive Park. The biggest issues, she said, were dog-related, with users complaining about off-leash canines and feces. McArthur Island, however, is already off limits to dogs. Wourms said Dale Ball Passive Park in Langley offered the best

example of a passive multi-use park, complete with wide natural pathways, a disc golf course and passive park space. Seasonal schedules accommodate nearby water levels. “This is exactly what we’re envisioning for McArthur Island,” Wourms said. KTW reached out to the Township of Langley to inquire as to how its park functions. Al Neufeld, deputy director of public spaces, said disc golf was added to the 30-acre naturalized gravel pit about a decade ago. The park has a trail around its perimeter, with naturally treed-in areas and a disc golf course in the centre. Impacts of the disc golf course, he said, have included better surveillance, more park usage, park cleanup parties and increased interest in the sport. “Based on the success, we’re working with them [disc golf association] and we’ll have a brand new course next year,” Neufeld said. Neufeld said passive park space is compatible with a disc golf course and noted disc golf players are “very respectful” of other park users. He noted, however, disc golf fairways going through treed areas have resulted in “some trampling of the ground. “Beyond those fairway holes, there’s thriving native vegetation and, certainly, the tree cover is not impacted by the disc golf course,” he said. Wourms said course design would mitigate concerns, with the city benefiting from starting from scratch. Disc golf baskets could be

placed away from mature trees or points of interest, for example. The course could also be temporarily closed to accommodate nesting owls. “We have tried to listen to all of the concerns of why not multiuse?” city civic operations director Jen Fretz added. Council representative Donovan Cavers said proactive approaches to issues such as homeless camps are preferable to bylaw enforcement, comparing it to a city mural program to mitigate graffiti. He suggested asking the school district for funding and creating a partnership with schools to promote nature education and the sport. Kamloops Naturalists Club director Jesse Ritcey attended the meeting and was not appeased by the city’s efforts. “It’ll impact 100 per cent of the area,” Ritcey told KTW. “When you throw a disc, it can go anywhere. So you can’t really map out sensitive areas because you have no way to control that. Missing from the presentation was any mention of flowers and other natural elements the naturalists feel are important.” As a result, he said, the club is preparing a dissenting report for council. “There’s certain areas where you can’t step on because you’d be stepping on duck eggs or frogs, or that certain thing,” Ritcey said. “There will be certain areas where you can’t go, but the rest is interactive. It’s about getting that nature protection. So, it’s just two different visions and so it’s two different options.”

Latest search for missing man Ryan Shtuka was last seen in February leaving Sun Peaks party MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The family of missing Alberta man Ryan Shtuka have organized one more search before the heavy snow of another ski season falls in Sun Peaks. Ryan went missing on Feb. 17 following a house party on Burfield Drive in the ski resort. He was last seen leaving the party at about 2 a.m. to walk the short distance back to his home. The latest search effort will be held this Saturday, with Ryan’s mother, Heather Shtuka, leading the effort.

RYAN SHTUKA Ryan’s father, Scott Shtuka, won’t be able to attend and said the search will involve scouring some locations already searched, concentrating primarily on the village area of Sun Peaks.

He said they won’t likely return for another search until the first week of December. “At some point, there will be a lot of snow up there and there’s not much we can do except keep the awareness going, so that’s going to be our big focus for the winter until something breaks,” Scott said. If there’s not too much snow at the bottom of the hills when they return in December, Scott said, more searches will be organized in those areas. Ryan arrived in Sun Peaks on Dec. 1, 2017, to spend the season snowboarding. Heather and Scott spent more than three months searching for their son following his disappearance, organizing volunteer efforts out of a command trailer every day after the initial two-day operation by Kamloops Search and Rescue ended. The parents returned home to their two daughters in Beaumont, Alta. in June, but at least one of them has returned to Sun Peaks on five separate occasions since to continue searching. During the last search in mid-October, Scott put up missingperson signs along Sun Peaks Road and Louis

Creek Road. “Just to keep the awareness going,” said Scott. Scott said he and Heather meet with RCMP officers in person every time they visit to review the status of the case. “I feel they are doing a decent job,” Scott said. “They’ve put a lot of resources into it and we’re still waiting for some answers, but nobody seems to have them yet.” He said they are sometimes updated on leads police have debunked, but are not kept abreast of any that may be credible due to the sensitivity of the case. “Sightings are a lot of the things they tell us about,” Scott said, noting one report involved someone saying they saw Ryan working as a lifeguard. “They follow through with all those leads and it’s nothing,” Scott said. About five to 10 volunteers are expected to take part in this Saturday’s search. Anyone who wishes to participate can get involved by visiting the Missing: Ryan Shtuka Facebook page or going online to ryanshtuka.com. “We are always open for more volunteers,” Scott said.

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Thompson Rivers University foundation board chair Greg Garrish told a crowd gathered on Thursday morning at the university for this year’s campaign breakfast kickoff event.

TRU Foundation raises nearly $10M MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University Foundation took in more than double the amount raised last year for its most successful fundraising campaign, thanks to a single donation. Dr. Sherman Jen gave the nonprofit society $5 million — its single-largest donation ever, foundation board chair Greg Garrish told a crowd gathered on Thursday morning at the university for this year’s campaign breakfast kickoff event. The gift brought the fundraising total to $9.7 million, up from the $4.4 million during the previous campaign year. The funds raised provide students with awards, scholarships and bursaries, as well as financial assistance for TRU’s programs and projects. The foundation’s endowment fund for student assistance now totals more than $24 million as the

funds continue in perpetuity, said Garrish. Last year, 1,076 students were supported with awards. At this year’s breakfast, dean of science Tom Dickinson recognized three longtime donors for their commitment to the science program and highlighted some of his department’s future plans. He told KTW the department plans to make some of its diploma programs full degree programs, such as its architectural engineering program. “There’s been plans for a while to build a fourth year on to that and make it a building science degree,” Dickinson said. This year, TRU’s science department began operating a full software engineering degree program and the annual fundraising campaign now includes scholarships for the inaugural class. Loreli Guidos, who will be one of the first graduates of the program, thanked the community for donating to the university.

Sahali clinic to close doors ‘Significant number’ of patients on file at Summit Medical Clinic, slated to close Dec. 15, according to office manager KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A walk-in medical clinic that has long been operating in Sahali is closing. Summit Medical Clinic at the corner of Notre Dame Drive and Summit Drive — sharing the strip mall with a pizza place, a sushi restaurant and a dentist’s office — will close on Dec. 15. “Logistics played a part in it,” office manager Dan Perry told KTW. “There’s a new lease and one of our doctors isn’t well. … Dr. De Kock wasn’t willing to go on a lease on his own.” Dr. Julie Anderson will be closing her practice, while Dr. Victor De Kock will be relocating his family practice to the medical building at 546 St Paul St. downtown. Dr. Orlando Passerin and Dr. Michael Wilson will not remain at the clinic, which has operated for more than 25 years. The pending closure means patients not tied to family doctors will have fewer options. The new after-hours clinic at Royal Inland Hospital takes referrals from the hospital’s ER department. Perry could not say how

The public “healthcare system is in trouble.”

— DAN PERRY clinic office manager

many patients are on file at the clinic. “It’s a significant number,” he said. A note posted on the website of Summit Medical Clinic speaks to the issue of a physician shortage in Kamloops: “There are other times it looks like the future of family medicine is in jeopardy. The government has an after-hours clinic at Royal Inland Hospital. “As usual, they will pay family doctors more than they can earn in private practice. B.C. remains less competitive for physicians, so now the squeeze is on. “There are B.C.-born and raised doctors who won’t come back because B.C. is being outbid by Ontario and Alberta. Recently, two longtime Kamloops doctors closed their offices. Is somebody replacing them? No. Does the government think it has solved the problem?”

A member of the Kamloops Heritage Commission presented council on Tuesday a cheque for $9,000 to jump-start a program that will see poppies erected above city street signs. “We greatly accept that donation,” Mayor Ken Christian said. The moment was a long time coming for local volunteer and war historian Jeff Lodge, who has done everything from research names on the Cenotaph

to raise the funds. Lodge proposed the idea of adding poppies to street signs that match the names of local veterans during last year’s budget cycle. Council decided at that time to deny funding and instead add poppies to street signs as they gradually needed replacing. That decision would avoid the cost of paying up front between $9,000 and $10,000 for about 52 signs to be replaced. Lodge, however, was worried it could take years to replace

The city’s civic operations director, Jen Fretz, said the donation should fast-track the project. Poppies are apparently already en route to Vicars Road in Valleyview.

PUTTING UP THEIR DUKES

Six members of the 204 Black Maria Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Kamloops have completed the Duke of Edinburgh Award program at the bronze level. It is an international program for youth ages 14 to 24 designed to challenge young Canadians to develop skills and tools to improve themselves and their communities through community service, skill building, physical activities and adventurous journey. On Monday, Mayor Ken Christian presented the six cadets with their Duke of Edinburgh certificates and pins, along with certificates on behalf of Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar and the City of Kamloops.

Approximately $13.5 million in funding for the 2018-2019 school year is available to some 1,400 parent advisory councils throughout B.C. that apply for the funding, up from $11 million that was allocated in the 2017-2018 school year.

TICKET BLITZ ON DISTRACTED DRIVERS A recent five-hour blitz by Mounties yielded 44 tickets for distracted driving in Kamloops. The RCMP traffic unit conducted the enforcement effort over a two-day span, on Oct. 23 and 24.

“Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of crashes and it is entirely preventable, as are the crashes and casualties caused by the behaviour,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. “Resisting the temptation of your phone can be hard, but think of it like being at the movies, at customs or during takeoff and landing in a plane. “It is possible to take a break from your phone.” The fine for distracted driving is $368, along with four penalty points on your licence. The blitz followed a separate enforcement action on June 8 which saw police hand out 23 distracted-driving tickets.

LinkUp is Venture Kamloops’ annual business summit featuring speakers, panels, a networking tradeshow and more. It’s an event geared for business owners and employers and will be held on Thursday, Nov. 22, at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre. Kamloops This Week will be profiling many of the event’s speakers in the weeks to come. Sitting in on a panel discussion can be a great way to get the most bang for your educational buck. Instead of hearing from just a single perspective, you can absorb the thoughts and opinions of three or four (or more) different panelists. You can explore similar or sometimes conflicting perspectives and come away with a wealth of knowledge and a

whole new perspective at the end of the event. And that sort of panel discussion is something you can check out during Venture Kamloops’ 2018 LinkUp Business Summit. “I am excited to be hosting a panel with three local entrepreneurs at different stages of development and experience,” said Lincoln Smith, executive director of Kamloops Innovation. The panel discussion will feature Jonathan Bowers of Two Story Robot, Matt Thurber of Traqspera Technologies and Stacey Krolow of Pepper. “Our conversation will include their perspectives on hard decisions, mistakes, best

practices and accomplishments,” Smith said. “Setbacks and self-doubt are very common steps you must navigate on the way to business success. We are going to discuss these things and answer questions from the audience.” Smith is pleased to be a part of the event, now in its third year. “I enjoy this event because it attracts a broad group of entrepreneurs, business owners and people who are interested in becoming both,” he said. “The organizations that help businesses to start and grow in our region are all there to talk about available support and answer questions.” LinkUp allows local business owners and employers to get access to information and resources that might not normally be able to them, and provides them during a jam-packed single day event. You can learn more about LinkUp online at venturekamloops.com/link-up.

The provincial government has appointed five new directors to the board of the BC Lottery Corporation, the headquarters of which is in Kamloops. The new directors are Joan Axford, Hilary Cassady, Lisa Ethans, Mario Lee and Coro Strandberg, all of whom will serve varying terms. Cassady, a senior vice-president at QuadReal Property

Group, and Ethans, the founder of Deloitte’s National Indigenous Client Services practice, will serve until Oct. 31, 2019. Strandberg, who has 20 years of experience as a corporate director and six years of industry association experience, will serve on the board until Oct. 31, 2020. Axford is a professional accountant with more than 40 years of

experience and Lee is a former senior social planner for the City of Vancouver, with extensive expertise in gaming policy. Both of their terms will run until Oct. 31, 2021. BCLC is the provincial government’s Crown corporation responsible for the conduct and management of gambling in B.C. under the Gaming Control Act.

Party bus crackdown Fun time is over for party buses and commercial vehicles that do not meet inspection standards. The Ministry of Transportation is quadrupling fines for non-compliant companies with vehicles that do not display valid decals confirming they have passed a safety inspection. Fines will increase, from $81 to $318, making them among the highest in Western Canada. “For a long time, the party bus industry has been ignored, leaving glaring gaps in safety,” Minister of Transportation Claire Trevena said. “Our government is adopting a suite of new measures so all passengers — and, in particular, minors

— are safe when they take a ride in a party bus.” The ministry will also be working with the transportation industry and the Passenger Transportation Board to have new safety measures in place and enforceable in early 2019. Those include having a safety monitor or chaperones if a minor is aboard a party bus, requiring minors to have a signed consent form from a parent or guardian and installing cameras in the vehicles, similar to the taxi camera program. Catharine Read, chair of the Passenger Transportation Board, said she is supportive of the new safety measures.

TREKKING THROUGH BENEVOLENT MOUNTAINS CHRIS MCBEATH travelwriterstales.com

hen the mythology of Northern India’s sensorial overload becomes reality, head for the southwestern hills of the Western Ghats. Hiking this extraordinary mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reveals a very different India — one where there’s time to absorb a gentler authenticity and a rural hospitality. As one of the world’s “hottest hot spots” for biodiversity, the Ghats is home to more than 7,000 species of flowering plants, as well as hundreds of different birds, mammals and amphibians. Perhaps this is why the Ghats are also known as Sahyadri, Benevolent Mountains. Before striding out and up, chances are that Kochi (or Cochin as everyone calls it) will be your starting point, a historical hybrid of cultures because of its access to the Arabian Sea. The seafaring Portuguese and Dutch have certainly both left their mark in the area’s cuisine and with a number of old, now decaying colonial buildings and palaces. Catholic churches abound throughout the region. It was the Portuguese settlers from Macau in the 16th century who were introduced to the iconic Chinese fishing nets that line Kochi’s shores. The rambling city also has the country’s oldest synagogue — built in 1268. A highlight of any visit to Kochi must be a Kathakali performance, an highly stylized musical of sorts (percussion only) where actors express emotions through extraordinary facial expressions and equally expressive makeup and costumes.

CHRIS MCBEATH Trekking across South India’s mountain tops is an awe-inspiring adventure. This extraordinary mountain range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reveals a very different India — one where there’s time to absorb a gentler authenticity and a rural hospitality.

Most hikes originate out of Munnar, a hill station town at some 1,600 metres above sea level, also known as the Tea City of India. The region contains the highest peaks in Southern India — Anamudi (a protected reserve not open to the public) and Meesapulimala (2,630 metres). So if hiking is in your DNA, this will probably be your destination. The climb involves a couple of nights under canvas (which can get surprisingly cold at night) but this rewarding trek is achievable for those with decent fitness and a modicum of determination. I was comforted to learn my

The grey-haired half-marathoners were built like graceful whippets and climbed the ever-ascending trails with enviable ease.

From here, you can climb even higher across valleys of grasslands, through forests of nutmeg, tamarind and unwieldy thickets of greenery where coffee estates once held sway. At remote villages, the offers of hot tea are generous and often served in porcelain china, even in the mountains, Such are India’s incongruities. In Yellapetty, a blue-painted, Christian church blasts out prerecorded messages of faith on the hour from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Four-year-olds sing, Alabama with a Banjo on my Knee in perfect English. Cornflakes are served with warm milk. White bread is baked with too much sugar and bedside light switches often turn on hot water in the bathroom and invariably, nothing at all. If time permits, make your way to Thekkady. You can rise at dawn to scout for dholes (wild dogs), gaur — the world’s largest bovine (the huge black males push 2-metres tall) and giant squirrels at Periyar National Park. Thekkady is the only venue where you can see a Kalaripayattu demonstration. Regarded as the oldest and most scientific of all martial arts in the world, masters and students perform in a sunken pit. Armed and dangerous, they virtually fly through the air as if in scenes from the film, Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons. Only these antics don’t involve any special effects. But isn’t that India? The illusion of special effects earthed in the reality of spectacular colour, and tradition, flavours and hospitality? Only in Southern India, they’re packaged within some very benevolent mountains.

FAITH

UNDERSTANDING OUR RELATIONSHIP TO THIS WORLD AS SOULS

HAROLD MEIER

You Gotta Have FAITH

OGI 123, sexual orientation gender identity curriculum, seeks to broaden the awareness of differences in individuals based upon how they relate to this world. That relationship has a psychological and physiological basis that fosters such benefits as tolerance, compassion and self-worth. However, additional categorical dimensioning by this world, of this world, only provides a placebo with no real cure for the real ailment of living in this world. From a purely spiritual prospective, we have nothing to do with this world and, ultimately, gain nothing by identifying ourselves with our sexuality, nationality, profession or age. Our real interest lies firstly in an awareness our ourselves as souls and secondly in reviving our consciousness of the supreme personality of

Godhead. This path toward transcendence is the path of dharma. In Eastern religions, there are various meanings for the word â€œdharma.â€? It is used to describe â€œcosmic order,â€? â€œteachings,â€? â€œpath of righteousness,â€? etc. Among the varied types and meanings of dharma, two understandings most relevant to the nature of the relationship between religion, the soul and God are nitia dharma and naimitika dharma. Our nitia dharma is that permanent unchangeable relationship we have with the supreme personality of Godhead, whereas naimitika dharma is a temporary relationship or state of being. In the opening chapter of his autobiographical work, Jiva Dharma, the Vaisnava saint Hari Das Thakur uses an analogy of water to describe the difference between nitia and naimitika dharma. Water has the inseparable quality of liquidity. Itâ€™s not possible to have water that is not liquid. Sometimes, however, water becomes ice and becomes solid. That solidity, though, is not the natural state of water. It is a temporary state that arises through the influence of external circumstances. Solidity is the naimitika state of water. Once those

BRIEFS DIWALI CELEBRATION The Kamloops Hindu Cultural Society is celebrating Diwali this Friday at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen. Diwali is one of the most important festivals celebrated by many Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists around the world. Diwali literally means rows of lighted lamps. During the festival â€” which is celebrated in October or November, based on the lunar calendar â€” people light their homes and businesses with multi-coloured lamps. Diwali signifies the important concept of victory of good over evil. During the festival, people pray, wear new outfits and enjoy a

circumstances are removed, water automatically returns to its natural state â€” nitia state â€” of liquidity. Similarly, we have an impermanent and permanent nature. This duality arises from being spiritual entities in a material world. Nimitika dharma is the nature acquired from interaction within the material world. To determine whether we are pursuing an eternal or a temporary state, we only need to ask, â€œDoes it have a beginning?â€? Anything that has a traceable beginning will also have an eventual end. Birth may be that beginning and death may be the end. Becoming Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jew or Hare Krishna are all nimitika states a person can change like a shirt. Similarly, being straight, bi or gay are also temporary conditions that arise in relation between the individual living entity and the material world. They are relative to our position in time, our current place of occupation and our circumstantial influences. Ambiguities and inclinations toward gender crossing arise from a kind of jet lag from our past lives. Just as a child prodigy can demonstrate an inexplicable talent for playing the piano, another child can demonstrate capacities

Victoria band can see it all coming together SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

armanah has had a good year. Along with the release of the band’s first album, Speak in Rhythms, it also headlined at Canada Day celebrations in downtown Victoria — their hometown and, so far, the biggest crowd they have played to. “That was a life goal achieved right there,” said Laura Mina Mitic, the band’s lead vocalist. The group came together somewhat organically, all meeting in Victoria with many having lived there or elsewhere on the island beforehand. Prior to the release of Speak in Rhythms in February, which the band calls its first album, came a number of EPs created in a do-it-yourself fashion. The new album is being called the band’s first because the band went full-on with the production side of things — no basement recordings this time. “It’s definitely the first where we’ve experienced the real production process where we’re truly ripping songs apart and putting them back together and making sure they’re truly a finished product,” Mitic said.

The album is just one part of what has made the year a good one. The experience is another. “We’ve learned a lot of lessons this year on what it takes and how much dedication it takes, and how to be a touring musician and work together in the studio,” Mitic said. Another part is touring. The band just finished the eastern leg of its tour with Hey Ocean, playing shows in Ontario’s biggest cities and Montreal. They’ll be back in B.C. soon though, beginning with a show in Kamloops on Nov. 15, at The Blue Grotto, once again opening for Hey Ocean. Tickets are $25 and available online via ticketweb.ca. “I definitely do see some of the puzzle pieces falling into place to take us to the next level,” Mitic said. The band has been out east before — previously putting together a “pretty humble” 30-shows-in-31-days tour, “or something crazy like that,” Mitic said, that took it all the way to Halifax. The group’s schedule hasn’t gone quite as long this time, but the tour still appears to have paid off, with fans out to see Hey Ocean also taking notice of their music. “It has definitely felt worthwhile and we’re grateful we got invited on this tour,” Mitic said.

Pat Ferguson and Spud stand in front of the bus planned for conversion. Victoria-based Paper Heart Films was recently funded by Storyhive to produce a documentary on the project.

Tours powered by vegetable oil Pat Ferguson, Carmanah’s guitarist and mechanic, converted a 1997 Dodge Ram diesel truck to run on waste vegetable oil. The truck uses a two-tank system, with the original diesel tank remaining and a custom vegetable oil tank and fuel system added. The truck’s engine has to start on its diesel fuel but is switched over once it reaches its operating temperature. The vegetable oil is then heated and thinned to the point where it acts like diesel. The fuel is switched to diesel once again before the engine is shut off in order to purge remaining vegetable oil. Ferguson is also an industrial electrician and said he’s got a lot of mechanical experience. He said it took him two weeks of research, finding parts and labour to make

the vegetable oil truck a reality, plus another week to put together a fuel storage and pumping system at home. “This is a lifestyle,” he said. “It’s not a walk in the park, but it has saved us nearly $15,000 in the last three years.” Ferguson estimates the band has driven approximately 100,000 kilometres in those three years, hauling all of their equipment, the band’s five members — plus Mitic and Ferguson’s dog, Spud — and sometimes a camper trailer. For some added comfort, the band will soon exchange the truck for a bus — a 1972 GMC PD4905A stage coach — that has a lot of history on the island, formerly making runs from Victoria to Port Hardy. “It should drink straight vegetable oil rather problemfree, with 1,000 litres carried in her belly,” Ferguson said.

He estimates 1,000 litres will carry the band 4,500 kilometres. “So we’ll leave home in Victoria for one of our common Western Canada loops fully loaded and return without the need of a fill-up,” he said. There’s even plans for an oil cleaning system for anything they can pick up along the way. Currently, the band gets most of their fuel from Victoria burger joint The Pink Bicycle, but while on the road, Ferguson is hoping for some help with sourcing some “relatively clean” waste vegetable oil across the country and in the U.S. while the group is on tour. “We’d be appreciative and might even have time for a house concert as a thank you,” he said.

Free at last? Rescuing pro sports from the shackles of salary caps CHRISTOPHER FOULDS EDITOR editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Imagine an NHL or MLB or NFL set free from salary caps and luxury taxes. Imagine an unlimited number of teams trying to field the best squads, with some of those teams thriving and some dying, based on pure economics. Imagine those innumerable surviving teams then divided into tiers of leagues depending on last season’s standings, with some fighting to stay in the top division and others battling to reach those heights — and no teams losing on purpose to better their chance at a top draft pick. That is how soccer is structured in Europe and, say the authors of Cap In Hand: How Salary Caps are Killing Pro Sports and Why the Free Market Could Save Them, how North American pro sports should be arranged. The book is written by renowned journalist Bruce Dowbiggin and TRU law professor Ryan Gauthier. The book essentially argues (and, I’d say, proves) that salary caps have not accomplished what they were intended to do — create an even playing field of parity. Consider: the one pro league in North America with the freest market — Major League Baseball — is the one with the most parity in that more new teams tend to make the playoffs and win titles. The NHL, NFL and NBA all have more restrictive salary structures and far less parity. Three years ago, Gauthier was

teaching a sports-law course with former Vancouver Canucks’ general manager Mike Gillis, who connected Gauthier with Dowbiggin. The book’s original idea was centred around the most important contracts in the history of sports. “Bruce was really the driver of the idea to make it more about salary caps as well,” Gauthier said. “But, then, all the legal stuff, that’s really my bread and butter. A lot of the history, a lot of the cases. “The owners are always looking to find ways to pay the players less, which makes sense. It totally makes sense from their standpoint.” But they used to simply tell players they would not pay what players wanted, Gauthier said, or lie about what other players were earning. Today, he said, they couch it in terms of the need for a “salary cap,” “cost certainty” and “parity.” “There’s no salary cap in Major League Baseball and we have a lot of parity,” Gauthier said. “And we have the NFL, which has the strictest salary cap, and we have the Cleveland Browns going 0-and-16 and the Patriots making the Super Bowl again.” The book looks at contracts that have shaped and changed the game, including those involving Babe Ruth, Curt Flood, Catfish Hunter, Bobby Hull, Reggie White, Wayne Gretzky, Alex Rodriguez and Lebron James.

The chapter on Hunter tells of the landmark outcome: because Oakland A’s owner, the notorious skinflint Charlie Finlay, had violated the pitcher’s contract, Hunter, in 1974 became the MLB’s first free agent. While teams worked overtime to pay their under-contract players as little as possible, it was thought owners would collude to keep Hunter’s salary manageable, with $250,000 to $350,000 a year expected in the way of offers. There was shock when, in December of that year, the New York Yankees signed Hunter to a five-year deal worth $3.5 million, plus a $1-million signing bonus. That skyrocketed his annual average salary over that half-decade to $900,000. The second and third parts of the book look at antitrust law, labour law in sports, the entry draft, free agency, gambling’s impact on sports and, of course, the salary cap in all its forms. But Gauthier and Dowbiggin explain it all in such a breezy, interesting way that Cap In Hand will appeal to the sports fan with little knowledge of the business side of the game and those interested in the economics of major league sports more than the action on the field. Back to the idea of introducing promotion and relegation in North American sports. Gauthier said sponsorships and broadcast contracts in Europe largely the same as in North America. Perhaps Rogers buys the rights for the NHL

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Thompson Rivers University law professor Ryan Gauthier co-authored the book Cap in Hand, How Salary Caps are Killing Pro Sports and Why the Free Market Could Save Them.

Premier League and Shaw buys rights for the NHL Championship (Second) League. “It’s no different than, really, what you do now,” Gauthier said. “There might be the chance that Edmonton stinks and they get relegated and Rogers is upset and Shaw is happy. But that’s the market. You just account for that, like a big boy business.” And, under that scenario, he added, tanking for a better draft

pick would essentially be eliminated as teams near the bottom of each league’s standings would be fighting hard to avoid relegation. As a bonus, even teams relegated have a title for which to compete while attempting to earn promotion. Cap In Hand is published by ECW Press in Toronto. Its cover price is $32.95. Chapters/Indigo offers it online for $29.65 and the Kobo ebook is $20.79.

Artists’ wares on display Dear Rouge at the Grotto About 100 pieces of local art are expected to be on offer next weekend for Kamloops Artists annual fall show and sale. “We put on art shows every fall and spring,” Kamloops Artists president Carol Straley said. “It’s a nice show of paintings — oils, watercolours, acrylics and pastels — plus we have a boutique with craft items, as well.” Staley said the events generally

involve between 20 and 25 local artists, each bringing with them four or five pieces. The show and sale runs Nov. 9 to Nov. 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day at the Japanese Cultural Centre, 160 Vernon Ave. in North Kamloops. Admission is free but donations are accepted for entry into a draw for prizes, Straley said. For more information, call Straley at 250-852-0773.

Vancouver-based duo Dear Rouge is on tour following the release of their second album, Phases, released earlier this year. On that album is the band’s second single, Live Through the Night, which reached the top spot on the Canadian rock/alternative chart. It’s one of several tracks Kamloopsians are likely to hear when the band hits the stage at The Blue Grotto, 319 Victoria St., for a show on Thursday at 8 p.m. Dear Rouge is an indie-rock duo made up of Danielle and Drew McTaggart, partners in both life and music. In 2016, they nabbed a Juno award for

Breakthrough Group of the Year and have added to their accolades since, including a SOCAN songwriting prize and festival stages that include SXSW, Edgefest, WayHome, Rifflandia, Osheaga and Fieldtrip. This tour will not only benefit the band and their listeners, it will also benefit charity Partners in Health, with $1 from each ticket sold going toward the organization’s international aid work. Tickets for the show are $16 in advance and available at Long & McQuade, 955 Lorne St., and the Grotto.

ADVICE & INFORMATION

Q: My mom is 83 and her circle of friends is becoming increasingly smaller with each passing year. We include her in most of our family activities but feel she would be much happier having her own friends. Have you got any suggestions? A) Friendships can have a major impact on our health and wellbeing. This becomes increasingly important as we get older and face a variety of life events that could trigger loneliness and isolation. Many older adults find it hard to develop new friendships. Developing and maintaining good friendships takes effort. To meet like minded people you have to go to places where others are gathered and this can sometimes be intimidating. Has your mom ever thought about researching retirement community living where there are endless opportunities available to meet new people, develop close social connections and friendships? You can share a meal, attend fun activities, fitness classes and more. It is easier when all of the opportunities are under one roof. The friends you make in a retirement community can become like family. They are there to help you celebrate good times and provide support during bad times. Friends prevent loneliness and they can increase your sense of belonging and purpose. Remember, it’s never too late to build new friendships!

Not all heroes wear capes — or fight crime

oo Much Coffee Man was a quirky comic strip I used to read on the internet back in the ‘90s. I wouldn’t say it was a web comic, in fact I don’t even know if that was a word yet, but I think the creator just liked to put it online for fun. I’ve picked up a collection of reprint issues here and there over the years, but now Dark Horse Comics has released a massive omnibus reprinting all the TMCM stuff to date. When I say massive, I mean it. You could drop this book on some kind of small vermin and obliterate it. But don’t do that. I’m just trying to illustrate a point here. But I digress. I should probably explain what this book is actually about. Shannon Wheeler, the author, has created a very unique comic strip. It’s one part Sunday funnies, one part autobiography, one part scathing social/political commentary and just a pinch of the insane ramblings of a madman. Wheeler documents/satirizes

NICK KLIE

COMIC KAM

his personal life, business dealings, fan interactions and political views, often in an unflattering manner (frequently drawing himself to look like a modern caveman). It’s not that he tries to talk down to his audience, but rather point out the irony and absurdity of these situations. One strip is about how everyone he meets keeps telling him they think

he should make a cartoon TV show out of TMCM, but when he finally does, people call him a sellout. At some point it became a trend in independent comics to create autobiographical stories, particularly about (failed) relationships. These comics have never really interested me because, well, I’ve certainly got problems of my own. TMCM never crosses that line and is definitely not one of those books. You’re still reading a comic about a guy in a red unitard with a coffee mug for a head, and the stories that are based on Wheeler’s experiences make you laugh and think — they’re not used as a cry for sympathy. Other times, the character travels to space. So that’s really not based on his life at all. Unless Wheeler is actually Buzz Aldrin in disguise — which I doubt. I mean it’s possible, but I doubt it. TMCM is fun and more intelligent than your normal comic strip. Except maybe The Far Side. That strip was genius.

Too Much Coffee Man is, however, probably the most useless superhero ever. He never actually fights crime, unless you count being sarcastic as fighting crime. Then he’s pretty much Superman. Nick Klie is manager of High Octane Comics. For more, visit 250 Third Ave. or call 250-377-8444.

Family of singer Chris Cornell sues doctor over his death ANDREW DALTON

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Family members of Chris Cornell on Thursday sued a doctor they say overprescribed drugs to the rock singer, leading to his death. Cornell’s widow, Vicky Cornell, and their children, Toni and Christopher, are plaintiffs in the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court alleging that prescription drugs, especially the anti-anxiety drug lorazepam, led to erratic behaviour from the Soundgarden frontman before his death in

Detroit in 2017 at age 52. The lawsuit says Dr. Robert Koblin and his Beverly Hills office “negligently and repeatedly” prescribed “dangerous mind-altering controlled substances to Chris Cornell which impaired Mr. Cornell’s cognition, clouded his judgment, and caused him to engage in dangerous impulsive behaviours that he was unable to control, costing him his life.” It focuses in particular on Koblin’s prescribing Cornell large amounts of lorazepam — which is sold under the brand name Ativan — to Cornell in the 20 months lead-

ing up to his death. The lawsuit states Koblin and his office staff issued the prescriptions without the doctor physically examining or speaking to Cornell during that time period. Coroner’s investigators ruled Cornell’s death a suicide by hanging. Toxicology tests showed the presence of Ativan along with barbiturates, caffeine, the anti-opioid drug naloxone and a decongestant. But the autopsy report said the drugs were not a cause of death. The lawsuit says Koblin knew Cornell had a serious history of substance abuse.

The “unmonitored use of such excessive amounts of lorazepam ... was known to increase the risk of suicide because it can severely impair judgment, thinking and impulse control and diminish the ability of a patient to think and act rationally,” the lawsuit says. Staff reached by phone at Koblin’s office said there was no immediate comment. Vicky Cornell has said since immediately after her husband’s death that she felt the prescription drugs he was taking drove him to behave strangely, and there were no signs he might take his own life.

TORONTO — Viewers hoping to catch the latest HBO series and fresh Hollywood movies have a new choice in their streaming options. Bell Media says it's throwing open the gates to its vast library of content that was previously only available to cable subscribers of The Movie Network and HBO Canada. Starting next week, Canadians will have access to a bulked up version of the Crave streaming platform, dubbed Crave+, for an additional fee of

about $10 per month. A cable subscription will no longer be needed, though some providers may sell the package at a discount with other set-top TV offerings. The move comes as Bell Media contends with competition from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. The new package includes all of the Showtime and older HBO series previously on CraveTV, plus a roster of more recent shows like Game of Thrones and Westworld. Customers who don't want the extra stuff can hang onto a basic Crave package.

Netflix plans run in theatres CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — Netflix will give three films an exclusive run in theatres before making them available on its streaming service. Up until now, Netflix has steadfastly insisted on releasing films in theatres only simultaneously with their streaming premiere. Netflix’s major pivot will give a handful of its most anticipated movies

a stand-alone run in a relatively small number of theatres. Major chains still refuse to screen films that don’t adhere to an exclusive 90-day window. Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma, the Coen brothers’ The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and the Sandra Bullock-starring thriller Bird Box will play in theatres for one to three weeks before premiering on Netflix.

Neil Young says he’s married to Daryl Hannah in online post CANADIAN PRESS

Tabletop gamers playing Dungeons and Dragons-like games at KamCon18 — the inaugural tabletop gaming convention held over the weekend at Thompson Rivers University.

TORONTO — Neil Young has confirmed he’s most definitely married to Daryl Hannah. The Toronto-born musician addressed the rumours Wednesday in a message on his website, the Neil Young Archives. Young refers to Hannah as “my wife Daryl” in an introduction to a live clip of him playing Ohio. It’s the first time Young has addressed months of speculation that he and Hannah tied the knot over the summer. Rumours began circulating in August when Hannah’s Instagram page filled with comments congratulating her on the ceremony. Young was previously married to singer-songwriter Pegi Young but the two divorced in 2014. Once he began dating Hannah the two spent ample time working on projects together. Young played the Man in the Black Hat in the film Paradox, which was directed by Hannah and released earlier this year on Netflix. She also worked on his short films and oversaw stage design for Young’s intimate concert last December in Omemee, Ont. Young’s website post also reflected on how Ohio, which he wrote as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, was inspired by the Kent State shootings in which Ohio National Guardsmen shot and killed four students in 1970. “It was a pivotal moment for me,” he wrote. The message urged his U.S. fans to vote in the midterm elections, particularly in support of gun reform. He praised students who are “brave, demanding change in violent times.”

Cornelsen said a restaurant, the Wooden Nickel, should be open by January, and there are plans to open shops on the premises. Beer gardens and live entertainment will be fixtures at many events. The last race day on the property that allowed bettors to wager on horses was held in 2010. Cornelsen wants to bring horse racing back to the city. “It doesn’t matter where I go, even the lawyer working on the

lease said, ‘Is horse racing coming back?’” Cornelsen said. “Everybody is thinking about wearing big floppy hats and dresses and coming down to watch the horse races. There is nothing like the sound of hooves pounding on the ground.” KRC will be a training centre for race horses from January to May. Cornelsen expects to have 142 horses populating two barns this season. There is room for more. Those interested in renting campsites and stalls can call 236425-2005.

Pillar enjoying productive start to season MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

Josh Pillar, 16, had six points in three games last weekend.

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Blazers were supposed to be celebrating Hall of Fame inductee Mark Recchi and the WHL debut of 15-year-old Logan Stankoven at a Sandman Centre hootenanny on Oct. 19. Josh Pillar must have misread the invitation. The 16-year-old forward from Warman, Sask., commandeered festivities with the game-winning goal in a 5-3 victory over the Swift Current Broncos. And it appears the party is just getting started. Pillar had the best weekend of his young career on a U.S. Division road trip that pitted the Blazers against the Thunderbirds in Seattle last Friday and the Winterhawks in Portland on Saturday and Sunday. The 5-foot-11, 165-pound, right-shot centre had at least one point in each game and finished the trip with one goal and five assists. “It’s going to affect how I play for the rest of the year,” said Pillar, who had three assists in a 6-2 win over Portland on Saturday.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

“From here on out, I’ll definitely play with a lot more confidence and just try to contribute as much as I can.” Points are nice, but Blazers’ head coach Serge Lajoie started elsewhere when speaking about the rookie’s emergence. “We’re not afraid to put him out there against top lines,” Lajoie said. “He’s relentless. He’s got a good motor. He keeps his feet moving. That’s a really good example for us to build off.” Pillar was playing with left-

wing Kobe Mohr and right-wing Carson Denomie on the road trip. The unit found itself on the ice against Portland’s top line of Cody Glass, Joachim Blichfeld and Ryan Hughes in the third period on Sunday. “That gives us three lines,” Lajoie said. “You don’t have to focus as much on matching and who is going to play where. You just roll your lines. As a coaching staff, you feel confident.” Former Blazers’ general manager Stu MacGregor used the 14th

overall pick in the 2017 WHL Draft to select Pillar, who had 54 points in 25 games for the Sask Valley Vipers as a second-year bantam in 2016-2017. Pillar made a seamless transition to the Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League last season, racking up 21 goals and 50 points in 44 games for the Prince Albert Mintos. He has eight points in 13 games this season, leaving him seventh in team scoring and ahead of 18-year-old Brodi Stuart and

20-year-old Luc Smith, both of whom have seven points in the same number of games. “The young guys look up to him and see he’s doing well and they gain confidence from that, as well,” Blazers’ 20-year-old captain Jermaine Loewen said. “They say, OK, a 16-year-old is doing good. It brings their level of play up, as well.” The Blazers will play host to the Brandon Wheat Kings on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre. “Seeing a young guy like me having success, maybe it’s motivation that they can do the same thing,” Pillar said. “Everyone in the dressing room is capable of doing good. It takes time and it will come.” Expect Lajoie to stick with Pillar in the middle of Denomie (or Martin Lang) and Mohr on Friday. Expect them to play a lot. They’ve been party to success. “I don’t see ages. I see players. I see people,” Lajoie said. “Regardless of how old you are and the experience you have in the league, if you’re going to play the game the right way, you’re going to be put in good situations.”

MARTY HASTINGS/KTW This Kamloops Race Central barn occupant enjoyed peace and quiet on Wednesday. That will change in January, when 142 horses are expected to arrive.

‘It’s going to be the place to come’ From A33

“We’re working toward that,” said Cornelsen, speaking to KTW from inside his truck on a rainy Thursday morning. “It’s quite a process. I’m working on the funding now. That involves BC Lottery, and different corporations like that have to get involved to make this happen.” He said KRC must host at least 10 race days per year in order to access the signal required for off-track betting and it will cost about $300,000 to put on 10 races. “I don’t know,” Cornelsen said when asked to give odds on horse racing’s return to Kamloops. “There are so many roadblocks, but I can’t see why I can’t overcome them.” Horse racing is only one dimension of KRC’s plan. The vision includes breathing life into the agricultural community and providing family-friendly entertainment. He is exploring glamping (glamorous camping) options that may attract business from those riding the Rocky Mountaineer. “That’s just talk at this point, though,” he said. For now, Cornelsen is focusing on KRC’s main revenue streams, which include the 34-site campground, and, “getting the market gardens going, where people can come down, buy some fresh vegetables and maybe do some Christmas shopping, play some chess on some outdoor tables, have a beer while the kids have some hot chocolate and go for a hay ride out on the track.” Tom Goode owns the Horse Barn, a hub for many in the region’s agricultural community. The business is a stone’s throw from KRC. “Anything that goes on over there to bring the public over does increase business,” said Goode, noting the property has been sparsely populated for the last decade. “It’s going to help everyone in town — restaurants, hotels. People spend the night. They buy food here. They go to the liquor store, buy some beer, or maybe the new can-

nabis store. If something breaks on their trailer, they need a light or new brake or a new tire. They go to the tire shops or the hardware stores. They don’t just show up here for a bag of horse feed.” User groups such as BC High School Rodeo are certain to stage events at KRC, said the organizational’s national director, Fritz Maier, noting he’s shocked the facility has been dormant so long. “I’m surprised there hasn’t been more equine-involved people out there making a stink about that,” Maier said. “Right now, there’s basically nothing in Kamloops. It used to be a kingpin.” Travelling rodeo caravans are great for business, Goode said. “It’s starting to fly out there,” he said. “Everyone I talk to is really happy.” Ally Borrowman stands to be the new campsite’s first tenant. She has been renting space on the property for about a month, waiting for the campground — which Cornelsen said will have a laundromat, showers and access to Wi-Fi — to be completed. The Prince George transplant wants to run a coffee shop on site while completing her education in Kamloops. “I don’t know him from a hole in the ground, but Jim has been working his ass off for us to be able to have ourselves a home,” said Borrowman, who lives in a trailer with her chihuahua-pitbull cross, Tikka. “This will be a place where people can get together, see what your horses can do and spend time together with your family and friends.” Cornelsen was looking for a place for his son to excercise horses. He came across the race track in Kamloops and saw an opportunity. “One thing led to another,” Cornelsen said. “This is huge. It’s going to be something else. It’s going to be the place to come. It’s a dream to see people have something to come to.”

Crucial West Coast clash as San Diego plays Seattle TIM BOOTH

SEATTLE — Games in the second week of the preseason are mostly meaningless and usually a forgettable exercise for veterans. Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner hasn’t forgotten what happened this past August when the Seahawks were facing the Los Angeles Chargers. It was late in the first quarter when Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers decided to take a timeout because he didn’t like the play against Seattle’s defensive alignment. But the part that Wagner remembers: Rivers knew the exact name of Seattle’s defensive call. “He called timeout and was like, ‘Dang, they’re running strong something,’ and I’m like, we just changed the name yesterday, how’d you do that?’’ Wagner recalled. “Maybe he just luckily chose that, I don’t know. It was kind of funny, I’m like how did he know the name? The quarterbacks know the play, they never know the name of the play.’’ Knowing the play didn’t really matter back in August, but it will Sunday when the surg-

ing Chargers face the equally improving Seahawks. Los Angeles (5-2) has won four straight and is coming off a bye week following its 20-19 win over Tennessee in London. The Seahawks (4-3) have won four of five — including a victory in London — and the game against the Chargers starts a stretch with six of the final nine games at home for Seattle. And Rivers is the introduction to a challenging month of elite quarterbacks the Seahawks will face and challenge Seattle’s overhauled defence that has climbed its way back to being among the best in the NFL halfway through the season. After Rivers, the Seahawks will face Jared Goff, Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton in consecutive weeks. “`The biggest difference is you used to go in — and this is not by any means slighting the roster, the defensive lineup now — but you used to go into that game, and you could just say, who is on Seattle’s defence, and you could write out every one right because they had been together for so long, backto-back Super Bowls, won the Super Bowl against Denver,’’

Rivers said. “Now there’s just been so much change on that defence, but there’s still the same scheme, and there’s plenty of names that you can recognize. So it’s a good group.’’ The Chargers should get running back Melvin Gordon back after he missed the win in London with a hamstring injury. Gordon has combined with fellow running back Austin Ekeler to have 1,283 yards from scrimmage and the pair is averaging 6.65 yards per touch. Seattle’s running backs are providing and equally important contribution to the Seahawks recent success. Chris Carson has become Seattle’s primary runner and posted his third 100-yard game in last week’s win over Detroit. Beginning with Week 3, only the Los Angeles Rams have more carries or yards rushing than the Seahawks — and Los Angeles has played one more game. “I think they know what’s working. That’s kind of their formula,’’ Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said. “They have been averaging about 30 rush attempts a game and it’s working.’’

Calgary to hold Olympic vote Cheryl Bernard looks at Calgary’s potential bid for the 2026 Winter Games from both a business and a sport perspective. She built a successful insurance agency in the city before focusing her attention on curling, eventually earning the right to represent Canada at a home Olympics. “It’s a 10-for-1 return and I just don’t know that you can say no to something like that in a business sense,’’ Bernard said Thursday, a day after the potential bid survived a city council vote. Ten votes out of 15 were required to abandon the Nov. 13 plebiscite asking Calgarians if they want to host the Games or not. Only eight voted in favour of the motion, a result

that allowed bid supporters to clear a key hurdle. Now both the yea and nay sides will do their best to beat the drum ahead of the non-binding decision, which will influence the next council vote. The International Olympic Committee will accept 2026 bids in January and the host city will be elected in June. revor Tombe, an associate professor with the University of Calgary’s department of economics, said he has a problem with the 10-to-1 talking point. He noted the ratio is not an actual return to the city since a lot of that spending covers expenditures that are not Calgary-specific, such as imported equipment or salaries for security, police and Games staff who are from out of town.

In Loving Memory of

Edward Allan Russell

January 28, 1943 - October 26, 2018 Edward is survived by the love of his life, wife Catherine and loving son Curtis and many extended family members. He passed away peacefully on October 26, 2018 at Royal Inland Hospital with his wife and son by his side.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

He spent the majority of his career working Road Maintenance for the Department of Highways in Kamloops and Savona. He also worked as a PDI technician at Dearborn Motors. His final job “after retirement” was working for his friend Brian Taylor of Taylor & Sons.

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Dad’s worried about the cost…what to do? A. If Dad just wants to be cremated, our complete cost is $2137.75. If he’s eligible for the full CPP Death Benefit ($2,500) that should take the worry away. We help with the forms. On the other hand, if he wants a casket funeral service, it might be more complicated.

He very much enjoyed fishing and the outdoors but his primary focus was spending time with his beloved family. His second love, for anyone that knew him, was his love of cars and the friends he made along the way. He was an accomplished albeit competitive dart player, an amazing gardener and his attention to detail was second to none especially when it came to his cars. He was an avid Seahawks fan with a shirt for each day of the week. Cremation arrangements entrusted to Drakes Cremation and Funeral Services. ! !

A celebration of life will be held in the Spring of 2019 by request of Catherine and Curtis for many of those that travel to avoid the ever changing winter road conditions.

By request of Edward, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Kamloops Hospice Association or your charity of choice.

REST IN PEACE MR. B.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Pamela Tedder It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Pamela Tedder on October 19, 2018 in Kamloops. Pam was born in Kamloops on October 15, 1956, and graduated from Kam High in 1974. After spending time in Victoria where she graduated from UVIC, she lived in Prince George, Quesnel and Vancouver working for the Hudson’s Bay, Elizabeth Arden, Lancome and Sears. Pam returned to Kamloops in 2002. Kamloops was home. Pam is predeceased by her father, mother, elder sister Tricia and partner Terry. Many will remember Pam for her charming and outgoing nature. Pam lit up a room the moment she entered. She will be remembered as a sister, aunt, friend who loved to have fun, but who also forever searched for happiness and fulfillment. I’ll always remember her spaghetti with the largest meatballs ever (“meat bongs”), her signature chocolate pudding with Oreo cookies and watching old movies. A celebration of Pam’s life will take place in January 2019 in Kamloops. Details will be appear in an announcement in these pages.

In Loving Memory of Tyler-Jay Laybolt

March 18, 1993- November 6, 2016

Two years... I still have so many days, nights, memories that come about that I can’t believe your really gone. I’m not who I used to be, not the Auntie I once was. When you were taken from us the biggest void was blown into our hearts and lives. The loss of you is so strong I can barely breathe, my mind races playing over and over the night before you died, asking what could I have done. What should I have done. The hardest words to speak are “He Was” and the hardest words to live with are “What If”. You are so Loved and Missed. All my love, your favorite Auntie Angie xoxo

Her legacy should be one of warm memories and shared wisdom_NOT of financial strain. That’s why we’re committed to providing a dignified funeral at a reasonable price. Your loved one would want you to make wise choices on her behalf. And you know she would want to be remembered for who she was - not for how much you spent.

Yvonne Braithwaite When we think of how best to describe this beautiful woman, the words courage, strength, and determination come to mind. Her list of injuries and illness over the past 20 years certainly would have taken down a lesser woman long ago. But she was a fighter right to the very end. Her mind could have gone on forever, but her physical body had no fight left. On September 21, 2018, Yvonne Braithwaite passed peacefully away. The world became a little brighter on March 19, 1930 when Ruth Yvonne Ogden (please call me Yvonne, thank you.) came into this world in New Westminster, BC. Proud parents Ruth and Ronald Ogden cherished the arrival of their only child. Yvonne grew up and attended school in New Westminster, moving to Kamloops in her teens where she met and married her husband. The mid 70s brought significant change to her life and with that, new scenery was in order. She and her youngest son moved back to the coast, where she lived primarily until her death. She made a couple of moves over the years back to the Interior to be closer to her children, but always came back, as she loved the climate of the coast (Jai agrees with you, Mom). Yvonne loved her summers at Shuswap Lake, where she proudly maintained a beautiful hand pulled weed free flower and vegetable garden. She was also an inspirational water skier; we fondly remember her effortless beach take off on a slalom ski. She had great rhythm, mad skills on the dance floor, and loved all types of music. (yes, even ours). There’s a good chance that she (along with the other patients at Peace Arch Hospice) will have the memory of our rendition of Sweet Caroline stuck in her head for all eternity (Sorry about that). She loved her dogs and her grand dogs, too numerous to name, but in recent years Carter and Shumonee held a special place in her heart. She was a talented artist, and loved to paint, but

we can all agree that she will be remembered best for her razor sharp wit. Her greatest joy in life was having and raising her four boys (no doubt another reason that she was so strong - those first three really tested her resolve but fortunately the fourth one was a breeze). She was equally proud of the daughters she never had - her four lovely daughtersin-law. From them she became “Nonny” to ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, all of whom she cherished with all her heart.

In Loving Memory of John Edward Moss February 10, 1947 October 3, 2017

Yvonne is survived by her son Dale (Chris), grandchildren Levi, Lindsay and Josh, great grand-daughters Stevie and Jessa, son Barrie (Becky), grand-children Sarah, Krista (Mark) and Matthew (Danelle), greatgrandchildren Lily and Sebastien, son Phil (Sherry), granddaughters Micaela (Tatsu) and Jenae (Devon), and great grandsons Keyan and Gavin and son Jai (Sandy), grandchildren Jaime (Andrew) and Taylor (Alexis), and great-granddaughters Jaidyn and Haven. Our family wishes to thank all of her doctors over the years, especially Dr. Spangehl, Dr. Al-Toura and the caring nurses at Peace Arch Hospice who made her final week on this earth as comfortable as possible. Additionally, we want to thank the wonderful staff at the Residences at Morgan Crossing.

We think about you all the time and miss you everyday.

We love you Mom, and will miss you every day for the rest of our lives.

Love forever and always,

A private celebration will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to BC Children’s Hospital a place close to her heart for saving the life of her great-granddaughter Jaidyn McGinn or the BC Cancer agency.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Teresa Francescutto

April 21, 1924 - October 19, 2018

In Loving Memory of

Silvano Fattor

July 25, 1940 November 4, 2008

Mrs. Teresa Francescutto passed away peacefully in Nanaimo, BC on Friday, October 19th with family by her side. She will always be remembered by her son, Mark, daughter-in-law, Joyce, numerous family and friends. Pre deceased by her husband, Ado Francescutto, brother Tony Borsato, and sister Maria Serena. Teresa was born in Altivole, Treviso, Italy and worked as a shoemaker. She came west to meet up with her family and met Ado in a small mining town east of Sparwood, BC called Michel. They got married in Kamloops in 1954 and continued to live there until 2009 when they moved to Nanaimo to join their son and daughter-in-law. Teresa looked after the home, garden, and her only son which was a full time job. She enjoyed sewing and made many articles of clothing all with a treadle Singer sewing machine. She always put others first and gave her best effort every time. Family dinners with a glass of red wine was a real enjoyment for her with laughter and the occasional argument. We would like to extend a very sincere thank you to all the staff of Woodgrove Manor, Dr. Kazanowski, NRGH ER, and NRGH Palliative Care for all the extra care and compassion they gave Teresa. By request, there will be no service for Teresa.

Remembering you on this 10th Anniversary Everybody loves to be remembered, But if we want to be remembered, we have a duty also to remember. Memory is a powerful thing. Wrongly used it can bring death rather than life. Rightly used it is a form of immortality. It keeps the past alive. Those we remember never die. They continue to walk and talk with us, Their influence is still felt among us. There is nothing stronger or more helpful than a good remembrance. We want you to know that we haven’t forgotten you. We remember you, and your memory most definitely brings life to us today. Remembering you, Adelis, Davide, Tammy, Matteo,Luca, Stefano, Marco, Sandra, Sacha and Luca

Melvin Edward Monteith 1931 - 2018

Melvin Edward Monteith died on October 23, 2018 after a long illness. He was predeceased by his wife of 56 years, Enid Norah (Lucas) Monteith. He is survived by his sister Doreen (Roy Baillargeon) of Kamloops, his children Mike (Linda), Brandy (Brenton Wilkie), Terry (John Pisarczyk), Ken, Syd (Tracy Baird), eight grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. Mel grew up in Kamloops, graduating from the Senior Matriculation programme at Kamloops Senior Secondary School in 1952. In his final school years, he worked summers for the BC Forest Service and landed his first full-time position in Wells Gray Park in 1952. Before his retirement in 1994 he had attained the positions of Ranger and District Manager, and was well-liked by those he worked with, especially those who worked for him. His own superiors may have been less impressed by the application of his motto: it is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission. Mel was a devoted husband and father. From his proposal to Enid at the time of his first post in Wells Gray Park to their marriage in 1953, through many job postings around the Interior of BC, to his loving attention as Enid’s health declined after their retirement and he became her primary caregiver, theirs was a story of devotion and attention. His children all remember the countless ways he showed his love of the family — the summer camping trips, the winter skating rinks, tobogganing, skiing, a swing and a

Michael Hawrys On Tuesday, October 23, 2018 Michael, age 89, passed away peacefully with family by his side at Kamloops Seniors Village. Left to cherish his memory are his four daughters Wanda Johnston, Sherry Young, Marilyn Hawrys and Bonnie (Rich) Morrow all of Kamloops, BC, his eight grandchildren Shannon Johnston, Heather McCaffrey, Brian Johnston, Andrew Young, Karie-Anne Hawthorne, Patricia Young, Justyne Morrow and Breanna Morrow and seven great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his three brothers Tony (Gwen), Alex and George (Nora) and many nieces and nephews and their children. He was predeceased by his parents Michael and Anne, sister Mary, brothers Joe and Bert and his loving wife of fifty years Rita. Mike was born in Grindrod, BC on November 11, 1928. He met Rita Schulte and they were married in 1955. In 1964, the family moved to Kamloops, BC where Mike was employed as an electrician until his retirement in 1998. Mike was an avid bowler and golfer. He was a long-time member of the Kamloops Golf & Country Club. He also enjoyed carpentry, gardening, wine, beer making and billiards. He was a jack-of-all-trades and never hesitated to help family and friends whenever anything needed repairs. Prayers will be recited on November 2, 2018 at 7:30 pm at Sacred Heart Cathedral. Father Raphael will celebrate the Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at 1:00 pm. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery. Reception to be held at Schoening Funeral Service, 513 Seymour St., following the funeral. Should family and friends so desire, donations in Mike’s memory may be made to The Alzheimer’s Society, or the charity of your choice The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff of 2B and 2C at Kamloops Seniors Village for their kind attention and loving care of our father. When we bury someone we love, we must also bury a part of our heart. But we should not bemoan this loss. Our hearts, perhaps, are all they can take with them.

climbing rope at every home they lived in, the attendance at countless sporting events and much, much more. Mel and Enid built and maintained a family that sticks together, despite geographical distance and differences of opinion. A loving home and support for the hopes and dreams of all are the legacy Mel and Enid leave behind as parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. Mel was hard-working, intelligent, practical and caring. He was fair and open-minded, a ravenous reader of sciencefiction and overall a very likeable man, right to the end. His children were endlessly amazed by his capacity to complete complex mathematical calculations in his head faster than they could do the same with their calculators. One of Mel’s great accomplishments was the building of the family’s log home. He worked hard on weekends and holidays to accomplish this work, largely by hand, from felling the trees, to peeling the logs and winching them atop the structure to carrying rocks and mortar up ladders to build an immense central fireplace. The result was a beautiful home fitting for the loving family he had created. Mel will be remembered in a private family gathering. There will be no service by request. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Kamloops Hospice Association, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9. http://www.kamloopshospice.com/ You have all our love and appreciation for being the best father a family could have, Dad. We miss you terribly.

John Pacheco It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of John Pacheco due to illness on September 29, 2018. John was born on October 8, 1964 in Ribeirinha, Portugal. John immigrated to Canada at the age of two and grew up in Fraser Lake, BC. He then lived in Calgary for 12 years running his own irrigation company. 18 years ago, he moved to Kamloops to be closer to his sisters and pursue a job in diamond drilling. He took great pride in his job at Atlas Drilling where he always said he “loved his job.” John always enjoyed heavy metal music even working with a band in his younger years. He enjoyed fishing and spending time with friends and the family he loved. Survived by his brothers Joe (Lora-Lee), Simon and sisters Mary (David) and Gloria (Jamie) as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Jose and Gloria Pacheco. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Kamloops Yacht Club, 1140 River Street, Kamloops on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at 1:00 pm.
