‘IT’S BEEN A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE’ TRU professor David Scheffel talks to KTW about his legal ordeal in Slovakia During a Skype interview with KTW from Slovakia, David Scheffel holds up a monitoring device he must carry with him as part of his bail conditions.

David Scheffel spends much of his time trying to mend fences with his wife and children. The 63-year-old Kamloops resident and anthropology professor at Thompson Rivers University spent 10 months in a Slovakian prison and has been out on bail for a little more than a month. He faces charges of child pornography, sexual violence and arms trafficking. Speaking to KTW via Skype from his home in Prešov, where he resides as his trial continues to unfold, Scheffel’s eyes welled up with tears as he blamed himself for the separation from his family in Canada. “It’s been a traumatic experience for my family because during those 10 months, we were almost cut off. It was terrible,” said a visibly distraught Scheffel. More than 8,000 kilometres away from home, he takes solace in simple pleasures of his newfound freedom — waking up in his
own bed, eating proper food and not being roused at 6 a.m. by the pounding of a jail guard at a cell door. Scheffel is bound by courtordered conditions, one of which requires him to remain within a 20-kilometre radius of Prešov — a condition enforced by an electronic ankle monitor he is required to wear.
“I enjoy every day, in spite of the dark cloud hanging over my head,” he said. The most serious charge he faces could result in a 15-year prison sentence, if he is convicted. Scheffel maintains his innocence and suspects the accusations may have been fabricated by police in an attempt to discredit him and his research into the
marginalized Romani people of the Eastern European country — research that has focused on rampant juvenile prostitution. This past Monday, the father of a Romani girl — one of his research subjects who triggered the initial sexual misconduct charges — didn’t show up to court, Scheffel said. He said one of his witnesses confirmed having heard directly from the family of the father of the girl that the accusation had been fabricated in the expectation of financial benefits. A tape of Scheffel’s conversation with the girl was also played in court to demonstrate falsehoods in her statements to police, he said. The trial will resume on Dec. 3 and continue the next day. Scheffel expects proceedings will stretch into 2019. “I don’t know how many more sessions this is going to require, but it will be a few more months at
least,” Scheffel said, noting there has been about one hearing per month since the trial began in July. Between 2015 and 2017, Scheffel conducted about 200 interviews with Romani who identified as sex workers or who had information about factors that led the Romani into the sex-trade industry. Scheffel said photographs from his laptop that were being viewed by Slovak authorities as child pornography were of nude and seminude Roma children, which he said is “a standard scene captured by many visitors to these impoverished and chaotic communities.” He told KTW other pictures the prosecution referenced included one of his youngest daughter after her delivery at Royal Inland Hospital. One of his criminal charges relates to an old rifle that belonged to his father. He said he had no ammunition for the rifle, nor did he have a licence required to own the gun, which led to the arms charge. See SCHEFFEL, A11

Adapting to brain injuries TODD SULLIVAN
STAFF REPORTER
todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
“Your brain controls everything about you,” said Dave Johnson, executive director of the Kamloops Brain Injury Association. That, he added, is why brain injuries can be so devastating. “It’s not just your physical stuff and your emotional stuff, but it’s also who you are,” Johnson said. “Imagine your significant other, you love them partly because they were so bouncy and cheery, and now they went to work in the morning, they had a car crash on the way home, they’re physically OK, but they’re a completely different person. “What’s that do to your marriage?” That can be a challenge. Johnson said the association helps survivors understand what happened to them and helps families provide extra support. There are a number of programs and activities run out of the association’s office downtown at 408 Victoria St. It starts with Brain Injury 101, an introductory session for both survivors
and non-survivors alike. Another program is called Rebuilding and it is focused more on the survivors and how they can better understand and adapt to their injuries. The association also has drop-in and discussion groups, a stained glass workshop and an art group. And, Johnson said, the money from the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund will help keep all of those programs running. “People want charities to be doing the work of the charity, of helping people with brain injuries, for example,” he said. “They don’t want us running around putting on fancy dinners to raise money. But the reality is we need that money.” Cheer Fund money allows the association to focus on helping survivors rather than raising funds. In addition to helping survivors cope with their injuries, the association is involved in preventive outreach, speaking at schools and businesses. “We do a Grade 4 program,” Johnson said. “We hook up with the science curriculum and we say, ‘This is how your brain works. This is why you want to protect it. It’s kind of important.’

There is also talk about wearing helmets, wearing safety gear and learning to play the game well. “You want to go play football?” he said. “OK,, fine, but learn to tackle properly so you take the guy down, because you want to win, right? But also so you keep your head safe.” The association also has a program directed at teenagers. “Teenagers are noted for not listening, so we show them what happens if you’re in a car accident and if you’re texting and driving,” Johnson said. While Cheer Fund donations will help, the Kamloops Brain Injury Association also relies on other donors and fundraising events, such as the Gur Singh Memorial Golf Tournament and dinners. “There’s a lot of great charities in Kamloops. I love them,” Johnson said. “It is a competitive environment, though, to raise funds. And this is one of the reasons that Christmas Cheer funds are so important to us.” The Kamloops Brain Injury Association is downtown at 408 Victoria St. It can be reached by phone at 250-372-1799 and by email at kbia@kbia.ca.

TRU prof reflects on his friendship with Stan Lee TODD SULLIVAN
STAFF REPORTER
todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
News of the death this week of Stan Lee, a man who helped bring to life characters like Spider-Man, The Hulk, The Mighty Thor and Captain America, elicited grief from fans around the globe. For Jeff McLaughlin, the news hit a little closer to home. “When I got the news, I felt numb for a moment,” he said. McLaughlin, who teaches philosophy at Thompson Rivers University, met Lee in 2005 while working on a book. “I had done a book called Comics as Philosophy,” he said. “And the publisher asked me if I’d be interested in doing a book on Stan Lee. And, of course, I said yes.” McLaughlin reached out to Lee, hoping to include an inter-
view with the Marvel Comics legend in the new book. Lee welcomed the idea and invited McLaughlin to meet him in California. What could have been a quick exchange of words turned into a nearly day-long visit. By the time they were done, the two were friends. And McLaughlin got more than just an interview for his book. Lee had one favour to ask. He wanted McLaughlin to include in the book what Lee called his most important work — an original poem that McLaughlin was all too happy to include in Stan Lee: Conversations. When asked what he had learned during his years of friendship with Lee, McLaughlin was quick with an answer. “One thing I learned was not to stop,” he said. “I had asked him, ‘When are
you retiring? And he was like, ‘Why would I retire? I love doing what I do.’ “And for me, being a professor, it’s what I love. It’s an honour and a privilege to be a professor in this role and be able to teach people. I enjoy doing this.” The message struck home even more firmly as McLaughlin learned Lee had tremendous respect for those who worked in education. “It became very obvious to me that he thought education was the most important thing and his favourite type of person was a teacher,” McLaughlin said. “And he thought that with using comic books as a way to entertain the kids, to get them to read and look up the words, that was really important to him.” Lee was 95 when he died in Los Angeles on Nov. 12.
• instruct all other parties (banks, lawyers, accountants, etc), • act on every decision, and • sign all documents. Having said that, in certain circumstances joint Executors are particularly useful - for example, in a blended family situation where both spouses wish that their combined estates be split equally among the children on both sides. Each spouse chooses a child of their own as a co-Executor and these two act together for both spouse’s estates, creating a balance where each side of the family is represented.

Resident scammed out of $4,000 A Kamloops resident is out $4,000 after receiving a phone call from a scammer and Mounties are warning others to be wary of such fraudsters. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the victim answered a call from a man claiming to be employed in the security department of a major Canadian bank. The caller told the victim to use a credit card to purchase Apple
gifts cards and, utilizing a downloaded computer program, scan and upload the card’s information into the program. The victim was assured they would be reimbursed for the
expenditure by the bank. Alas, when the $4,000 was not reimbursed, the victim called the bank and learned it was a scam. Shelkie said people need to be wary of calls, texts or emails from people claiming to be from a financial institute. “Banks will never request that their customers purchase gift cards of any kind,”
Shelkie said. “If you are unsure if a phone call, letter or email is a scam, check with the bank by contacting them yourself. Look up the bank’s phone number independently or go in person.” Scams can be reported to the federal government’s Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by calling 1-888-495-8501. It is a toll-free number.

The northwest corner of Fortune Drive and Eighth Street is prime for redevelopment, but the city and property owners remain far apart on agreeing what should rise on the 80,000-square-foot property now home to Penny Pinchers.
Competing visions stall development at busy crossing JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Development is deadlocked at a busy North Shore intersection. Lee and Associates vicepresident of leasing Sean Ogilvie told KTW development plans for an 80,000-square-foot property at the corner of Eighth Street and Fortune Drive, where Penny Pinchers currently sits, are stuck in a “holding pattern” with the city’s planning department. “It’s taking longer to get that redeveloped than probably both parties would have liked,” he said. Ogilvie said a Lower Mainland family purchased the property, located at 800 Fortune Dr., a few years ago, with plans for immediate redevelopment. A land-title search on the property reveals it is owned by a numbered company in Surrey. The mortgage dates back to 2014. Lee and Associates’ website shows plans including 23,000-square-feet of retail space over four buildings, two potential drive-thrus, space for 11 tenants and more than 100 parking stalls. That vision, however, is at odds with what the city envisions for the second-busiest intersection in Kamloops. “We want something high quality in that location, given how it is so important for the North Shore Town Centre,” city planning manager Rod Martin said.
“I don’t think we should settle for something that’s just a typical strip mall, automobile-oriented development.” Martin said talks have gone back and forth at the pre-development permit application level over the last couple of years. He said proposed plans do not comply with the city’s official community plan, KamPlan, which was finalized earlier this year. KamPlan notes the intersection is the second-busiest in the city and calls it a “focal point” of the North Shore, due to concentrated commercial, pedestrian and vehicular traffic. KamPlan calls for high design standards and innovative building if the property is developed, to “showcase the North Shore with significant buildings designed to make a connection to the high level of pedestrian activity existing around the area.” Martin said the city would like to see a “landmark” development at the northwest corner of Fortune and Eighth,, complete with taller attractive buildings, pedestrian friendly design and potentially multi-use, with residential or office space. Drive-thrus are also off the table, similar to when a nearby Subway eatery was rejected by council in recent years. (Drive-thrus are prohibited within the North Shore Town Centre boundary, criticized for
idling, traffic congestion and promoting unhealthy lifestyles.) However, Ogilvie said the city’s vision of a “contemporary form of development” doesn’t mesh with market demand. “Like I said, what the city wants to see on that corner is not consistent with what the tenants or retailers would like to see,” Ogilvie said. He would not, however, reveal which tenants are interested in the location. The leasing agent deals with real estate in the Lower Mainland and called the process locally “slow and arduous.” Martin, however, noted if the developer submitted an application, it would go before council in between four to six weeks. Staff would not recommend approval, however, if plans did not comply with KamPlan. Ogilvie said he hopes the city and developer can come to common ground and realize better use of the property. In addition to significant traffic, the property is located near the airport, McArthur Island and the Tranquille Corridor, which is seeing significant investment. In 2017, BC Assessment valued 800 Fortune Dr. at $1.76 million, with the majority of its value ($1.5 million) tied to the land. The warehouse now home to Penny Pinchers was valued at $246,000. Penny Pinchers owner David Sakaki told KTW he has a threeyear lease for the space.

MANAGING THE BUILDING BOOM
W
e are living through a remarkable transformation of Kamloops, block by block and neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Some is strikingly obvious. Some is more subtle. But the landscape of the city is changing every day. We can see it as we commute to work each day and we can see it in the eye-popping building-permit numbers. Every year, it seems, nudges another record. Be it the increasing number of government-funded affordablehousing projects or government-aided seniors’ housing plans or private equity giving entire areas facelifts, the transformation of the Tournament Capital continues. Residential areas from Westsyde to Aberdeen and from Batchelor to Valleyview continue to expand, while Arpa Investments’ and the Kelson Group’s multi-million-dollar vision for the North Shore and downtown, respectively, will continue to unfold before our eyes as the months and years pass. During the recent civic election, some candidates mentioned red tape at city hall, arguing it takes too long for permits to be approved for various projects by developers. We think speeding up the process should be a goal, but not at the expense of tossing oversight out the window. The Penny Pinchers property at Fortune Drive and Eighth Street is a good example. For the past few years, the city and property owner have not been able to agree on what will rise at the second-busiest intersection in Kamloops, a plot of land that will serve as the north entrance to the rapidly developing Tranquille Market. While a stunning new development — perhaps a popular restaurant or pub anchoring other tenants? — is desirable, whatever rises there needs to mesh with KamPlan and the North Shore Towne Centre vision. Sometimes, it makes sense to take some time because once a project is built, there are no second chances.

Spend now, save later
N
o sooner had the provincial NDP government come through with a pilot project for its campaign promise of $10-a-day child care than the keyboard warriors were online, criticizing this landmark effort and arguing those who cannot afford child care should wear chastity belts — or words to that effect. The announcement last week was life-changing for families of 117 kids in Kamloops and families of 2,500 children across B.C. What has in some cases cost more than $1,000 a month will now cost no more than $200 per month as part of a provincial and federal program that has set aside $60 million until March 2020. Our tax dollars, locally, provincially and federally, are going to be used in some manner. The facts say spending those tax bucks on kids in pre-school and the early years of elementary school is money well spent. When KTW published the story last week, the responses were predictable from those who cannot understand that spending a lot of money now will save even more money later — and likely help those critics in their golden years by having these child-care kids better positioned to fund their retirement. The replies online were of the “If you can’t afford child care, maybe you shouldn’t be having children” variety. Having kids enjoy quality, affordable child care allows parents to find employment, which leads to increased revenue to government, which leads to those children’s
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS socio-economic situation improving, which leads to savings in justice, health-care and social-service costs, which leads to those kids being more likely to pursue postsecondary education, which leads to more tax revenue for all levels of government. A January 2017 report prepared for the Early Childhood Educators of BC noted that, according to Statistics Canada data, the childcare sector in B.C. is estimated to boost GDP by $1.63 per dollar of increased expenditure as compared with 86 cents for the average industry and $1.04 for other provincial government spending. These spend-now-and-savelater facts are not new. Part of the problem is the fact we live under perpetual four-year election cycles and trying to convince Joe Sixpack that spending billions now on a fantastic plan will save even more billions later can be political suicide. The child-care equation can be seen right now in Kamloops with the myriad affordable housing projects popping up. Yes, there are millions of dollars being spent
on these housing units and the plethora of services that accompany them. In the end, though, we should realize savings of those precious tax dollars mentioned above. BC’s Affordable Housing Plan, published by the BC Non-Profit Housing Association, notes the costs of the plan are expensive, but not nearly as pricey as the costs of doing nothing or maintaining the status quo. The plan quoted from 2014’s State of Homelessness in Canada report, which noted homelessness is estimated to cost Canadians $7 billion annually, including $1 billion per year in British Columbia: “For every $10 spent on housing and supports for those who are chronically homeless, $21.72 is saved in costs related to health care, the justice system, shelters and other social supports. The proposed annual investments of $81.6 million for homelessness contained in this plan have the potential to save $177 million annually in other areas of spending within B.C.” Those figures are at least a halfdecade old and the costs are surely higher today. If you want your tax dollars spent wisely, if you want to ensure your government pension does not dry up when you retire, you should be bringing Welcome Wagon gifts to all those affordable-housing tenants in Kamloops. While you’re at it, you might want to hand out keys to those chastity belts so cherished by those who don’t seem to understand the immense value to all when we lend a hand to even one. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE UNSUCCESSFUL DRUG USER AS EXPERT Editor: The current challenge with drug education and expert knowledge is that our industry holds in higher regard people who have been wholly unsuccessful at drug use — the “I have had to succumb to sobriety for your and my safety” group, instead of those who have and/or can use drugs successfully without disruption of their life. There is no other profession that would promote those who are unable to do something as an expert. Can you imagine Canada’s worst driver being promoted as an expert at a driving school or someone who has done federal time for violence in relationships being the most appropriate person to teach respectful relationships?
But this is exactly what the socalled substance-use profession does. The challenge for me, and one of the main flaws in our current ideology, is that you have to have been there to understand. By “being there,” the presumption is that drugs caused you much harm. Having experience does give one an advantage, especially with stigmatized behaviours. But when are we going to be able to have “drug experts” actually be those who can use drugs successfully? This is to take nothing away from the recovery movement and those who have chosen abstinence. Indeed, the recovery movement plays a crucial part in the advancement of healing from
substance misuse issues. But those who hang a shingle out and have their “expertness” in some way related to their inability to manage their substance use only perpetuates the negative treatment of people who use substances. It is also a gross misrepresentation of substance use among the general population and creates a barrier for those to reach out and access services. A current example is that, in an opioid crisis, the main group of people overdosing are working tradesmen. Their biggest problem is a poisoned supply and not necessarily their use pattern. Only when we discontinue criminalizing health behaviours and move substance use from
a criminal approach to a public health viewpoint will we start seeing significant positive outcomes in substance-use issues. Stigma and treatment will never be successfully dealt with until we, at minimal, decriminalize all drugs and acknowledge most folks have positive experiences with drugs that don’t negatively affect work or home. This move will also allow for experts being those who have good relationships with substances they use. I have a counselling and healtheducation practice in Kamloops and have 20 years of experience in the mental-health and substanceuse field. Jeff Conners Kamloops
HOPING AIR WILL AND THE WAIT LIST GROWS LONGER CLEAR AT TRU Editor: It is heartening to read that the TRU Faculty Association has at last agreed to take part in the probe by the Canadian Association of University Teachers into the circumstances leading to the suspension of TRU professor Derek Pyne (‘TRU’s faculty association will co-operate with investigation into academic freedom complaint,’ Nov. 7). Hopefully, this will help clear the air behind it all. Narayan Mitra Kamloops
Editor: What a terrible blow to the people of Kamloops with the pending closure of the Summit Medical Clinic. It was with great sadness that I recently said goodbye to those patients I got to know over the past three years while helping out on my yearly locums. This is going to add another how many thousands of patients to the list of people waiting to be assigned to a family doctor?
I feel sorry for those waiting for two years to see a neurologist, for six months to a year to see a orthopaedic surgeon, for two years to see a dermatologist, for six months to see a cardiologist, for six to nine months to see an OB-GYN and for one year to have routine surgery, such as a hernia. What are the authorities doing about this? I have asked the Kamloops mayor that question and all he has done is referred me to
Interior Health, which has been grappling with this problem for years — and the situation is getting worse. We need some answers and we need them fast. Private clinics are growing larger by the day, all of which are flouting the Canada Health Act by doing away with the original concept of health care for all, with nobody allowed to jump the line.

POINTCOUNTERPOINT ON THE ELECTORAL REFORM REFERENDUM British Columbians are voting in a referendum to determine what system we use to elect our MLAs. Elections BC has mailed out voting packages to all homes in the province and ballots must be returned to Elections BC by mail — or dropped off at the Service BC Centre in the Kamloops Law Courts — by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 30. On this page, we present two arguments: one for adopting proportional representation to elect MLAs and one for keeping the current first past the post system. Go online to elections.bc.ca to learn more about the referendum and to learn more about the three PR systems proposed. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to view a video that explains the three systems.

VOTE FOR PR
he evidence for proportional representation is clear, consistent and compelling. Countries using it enjoy better economic, social and environmental results. But proportional representation isn’t just about pie charts and statistics. It’s about government that delivers what voters want. We want consistent policy that makes our province an attractive place to invest, with secure long-term jobs. Pro rep avoids policy swings that put major investments at risk. More than 80 countries, including nine of the 10 highest-performing economies in the developed world, use pro rep. It works. We want a government that takes child care for our kids and health care for our aging parents seriously. Studies show pro rep countries tend to better meet the needs of average voters. We want a government that takes a realistic, thoughtful approach to tough challenges, rather than leaving the problems for our children and grandchildren to deal with. Countries with pro rep more effectively tackle big, long-term issues like climate change, which need more than a four-year planning cycle. We want MLAs who listen to us and who listen to each other. Voters hold a diversity of

By accurately reflecting the way we vote, proportional systems bring multiple perspectives to the decision-making process and force parties to co-operate. We want local MLAs who are elected by voters, not appointed by parties. All three proposed systems provide this. All B.C. party leaders have stated their preference for open lists, meaning voters will cast their ballots for specific candidates on the list. Under proportional systems, government works in the best interests of a majority of citizens, rather than catering to a privileged elite. Our opponents have benefited from the current system and their continued political dominance depends on it. So, instead of providing facts, they have chosen to rely almost exclusively on fearmongering, running outrageous ads featuring violence
VOTE AGAINST PR
in the streets and goose-stepping soldiers. Since truth-in-advertising laws do not apply to political campaigns, they are getting away with lying to us. We urge voters to get accurate information from sites like Elections BC and prorepfactcheck.ca. This referendum is an opportunity to reject politicsas-usual and upgrade our democracy. We have a lot to gain and very little to lose because there will be a confirmatory referendum after two terms. It’s like a money-back guarantee — but bear in mind that where citizens have had a chance to try a proportional system, they have voted to keep it. New Zealand switched in the 1990s. Its confirmatory referendum had more people voting to keep the new system than had voted for it in the first place. The evidence favouring proportional representation is abundant. In fact, it has been recommended by every single independent commission or citizens’ assembly, provincially and nationally. When we put aside the pie charts and focus on what matters in real life, it is clear that proportional representation does a far better job of giving voters what we voted for. Join me in embracing a better way to do politics in B.C. by saying yes to proportional representation. Mail in your ballot.
A
s British Columbians, we are blessed to call this vibrant and prosperous place our home. With strong democratic institutions and traditions, political parties of all stripes have formed governments since 1871 and have left lasting legacies for future generations. Part of our success is due to the current first past the post voting system, which features local representation, majority governments and a simple voting process. There are 87 mini-elections in each of B.C.’s 87 ridings and the candidate with the most votes in each riding wins and becomes the MLA for that riding. Local voters then hold that MLA accountable, and can re-hire or fire that MLA at the next election. In contrast, all three forms of proportional representation proposed in this referendum represent more complicated voting systems, resulting in: • less local representation, with some MLAs elected locally and some appointed from party lists without receiving a single vote from local voters; • power shifting from local voters to political parties; • much larger and far fewer ridings across B.C. • governments being formed in backrooms, where commitments made to voters during elections take a back

Liberal) for the KamloopsSouth Thompson riding. seat to commitments made between political parties after elections; • more frequent elections, perpetual minority governments and the proliferation of extremist parties. It’s also concerning that the entire referendum process itself has been rushed, deeply flawed and wide open to manipulation: • all details have been determined within the secrecy of the NDP cabinet, instead of being determined by a citizens’ assembly — made up of citizens selected from across B.C. — which has been used previously; • the provincewide approval requirement has been lowered to 50 per cent plus one and gone is the regional approval requirement whereby 60 per cent of all ridings had to support the proposed change; • There is no minimum turnout requirement, which means a very small percentage of eligible voters could change our voting system; • there is a confusing, two-
part question on the ballot; • the vote is being held with a mail-in ballot, layered on top of recent municipal elections, which will result in lower voter turnout; • there are no riding maps on which voters can locate their community. Dozens of details have been withheld from voters, including: • the number of MLAs; • the size and number of ridings; • the use of party lists; • what happens in the case of byelections. When I’m asked if Kamloops would be classified as an urban riding or a rural riding under proportional representation, and how many MLAs for Kamloops and the surrounding area would be elected by local voters, and how many would be appointed from party lists, I can’t answer these basic questions — and neither can the New Democrats or Greens. Regrettably, all of these details will be determined after the referendum vote by a committee of the legislature that contains a majority of NDP and Green MLAs. I don’t believe that’s good enough. It’s not right and not fair. Our democracy is not an experiment and British Columbians deserve better. Therefore, for all of these reasons, I’m voting to keep our current first past the post voting system.

Scheffel suspects charges related to Romani research From A1
In August 2017, Scheffel was told police investigators in Slovakia wanted to speak with him regarding the case they were investigating surrounding the accusations from the Romani girl and her father. Eager to clear his name, Scheffel said he agreed to fly to Slovakia from Canada last November for a conversation with police in Prešov, which is in eastern Slovakia. The morning after he arrived, police arrived with a search warrant and arrested him. Scheffel was remanded in custody for nearly a year. Granted bail in early September, Scheffel remained incarcerated for three more weeks as the prosecution appealed, viewing him as a flight risk. He described those three weeks as excruciating, but felt touched on the day he was released when the other 35 inmates in his ward embraced him before he left. “It really was incredible,” said Scheffel as he was again overcome with emotion. Scheffel described his time in prison as horrific, noting degrading treatment from guards and a foreboding sense that washed over him. “The sense of not knowing how long this is going to drag on and will I survive it,” Scheffel said. After being released, he said it was gratifying to hear from many friends and colleagues in Prešov who support him. “They all agree with me that I’m innocent and that is very important to me because, after all, these are people who I’ve trusted for many years and have trusted me,” Scheffel said. He said some of the people against whom some of the girls have levelled accusations have told him the girls have tried to retract
testimony they initially made to police. Scheffel said he suspects the charges
against him are an attempt by the police to brand an advocate of the Romani people
as their enemy. What he’s gone through in Slovakia, Scheffel said, has
taught him a lot about the meaning of justice and made him appreciate Canada
even more so than he already did. Scheffel has lived in Canada for decades,
but has Dutch citizenship. Neither country has come to his aid.

KAMLOOPS SOCIAL AGENCY HIRES LOCALLY TO FILL DIRECTOR ROLE TODD SULLIVAN
STAFF REPORTER
toddl@kamloopsthisweek.com
Diane Down has been at her post as managing director of The Mustard Seed New Life Community Kamloops for a little over a week, but she describes those initial days as being a bit like drinking from a firehose. That’s to be expected. It’s a lot to take on. Down noted the challenge in combining a longstanding local social agency with another social agency new to the community. “To take two large organizations and merge them together is like going on a hike and we just have to figure out what’s best going forward,” she said. The merger of New Life Community Kamloops with The Mustard Seed, which has three locations in Alberta, was only finalized in September, but Down already knows exactly where she wants to focus their energies. She wants to identify the organiza-
tion’s assets and how best to use them. One of those assets is the lunch program and the kitchen at the West Victoria Street outreach centre will be getting an upgrade this year, thanks to the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund. Down said the dental clinic could also use some help. “No one else has a dental clinic,” she said, comparing the Kamloops location to other Mustard Seed spots in Alberta. “And that was super unique. So, how do we best leverage what we have that is unique and working really well? And how do we elevate that?” She wants to ensure the clinic is sustainable, noting the challenge in finding dentists willing to serve the clientele at the outreach centre. According to Down, the three pillars of The Mustard Seed are basic services, support services and housing. It is in that last pillar that she sees the potential for pushing the organization into new ground. “Housing is not something New Life did,” Down said.

“Certainly, the climate in B.C. right now is very favourable to housing and so we kind of are fast-tracking some exploration of projects that we could do. “Our housing would be 100 per cent supported because, frequently, when marginalized people are homeless, part of what got them to be homeless is what will keep them homeless if they’re not wraparound supported.” For Down, working with the marginalized comes down to providing hope. “It’s interesting,” she said. “The original etymology of poverty, it has nothing to do with money and how much people make. What it really means is about wretchedness and misery. “So, if we’re going to alleviate poverty, it actually has nothing to do with government-mandated economic thresholds. “It has to do with generating hope for abundant-thinking and thriving people. So that’s what I’m looking to do.”

Two more government cannabis store applications are headed to Kamloops city council next week. The province is looking to open BC Cannabis Stores in Lansdowne Village downtown and in Northills Centre in North Kamloops, following the opening last month of B.C.’s first legal cannabis store in the Columbia Place Shopping Centre in Sahali. Signs have long been posted on the buildings, seeking public feedback. The applications will go before the new city council on Nov. 20. BC Liquor Distribution Branch communications manager Viviana Zanocco said the locations were identified when the province sought its first location in Kamloops. “We thought, well, eventually, we’re going to need a couple of more in Kamloops,” Zanocco said. “Just as we have several liquor stores in Kamloops, so why don’t we look for other locations?” Other communities have been waiting for their first shop. Zanocco said the city’s zoning makes it clear where cannabis shops are permitted and noted the complexities of securing locations, negotiating with landlords and public consultations.

Meanwhile, people are still lining up outside the province’s first store, which opened in next to Save-On-Foods in Sahali on legalization day, Oct. 17. This past Tuesday marked four weeks of sales and numbers suggest it’s been busy — 17,451 in-store transactions and 33,826 online sales provincewide. Asked if that is more or less than what was anticipated, Zanocco said: “We didn’t know what to expect.” In addition to provincial pot shop applications headed to council chambers, city business licence inspector Dave Jones said two private applications are in the queue and he expects six private applications to come before city council by the end of the year. While there appears to be steady interest in retail cannabis shops in Kamloops, Jones said the city has received interest in cannabis business ventures that go beyond stores. He said the city has received inquiries about locations for production facilities, micro-grow operations and foodproduction facilities for edibles, which are due to become legal next year. “We’ve had some bigger companies come in and look at locations, working with BC Hydro to upgrade power,” Jones said. Minor bylaw changes will be required in order to allow non-medicinal growing. Bylaws currently allow medicinal growers in industrial areas of the city following federal legislation in recent years that required cities to allow medicinal cannabis to be grown somewhere. Industrial areas were chosen in order to have the least impact on residents, due to the smell. Jones also said illegal cannabis stores continue to shut down in Kamloops, with the overall total down to three from 13.

Legal pot brings focus on workplace JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
When it comes to recreational cannabis and the workplace, rules around impairment at work are nothing new, a provincial employer’s advisor told Kamloops Chamber of Commerce members on Thursday. “Pre-legalization, I started to get calls from employers saying, ‘Oh my god, when cannabis is legal, what do I do?’ Well, you should already have an impairment policy,” Robin Kierstead said. “Really, nothing has changed.” Under the Worker’s Compensation Act, employers must provide a safe workplace, ensure employees are working safely and ensure adequate supervision.

A template can be found by searching “Cannabis White Paper” online. “You need to have a policy about impairment,” Kierstead said. “You need to have boundaries about what impairment, intoxication means for your workplace. “It means that workers need to be aware of it, they need to be trained and educated on it and your supervisors also need to be aware, what are some signs and

Poverty simulation led to stress, frustration MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Some were arrested and others lost their jobs. Some were robbed, while others had to pawn valuables for extra cash. It was a hectic “month” barely getting by for participants at this year’s United Way poverty simulation. About 50 people took part in Wednesday’s empathy-building exercise at Sandman Centre. The simulation involved participants role-playing as a member of a family struggling to eke out a living on minimal funds as they navigated multiple volunteer-run booths representing agencies the working poor must deal with every day. Participants had four, 15-minute sessions to try to accomplish all the routine activities of the work week — picking up their kids from child care, buying groceries and paying bills — all with limited funds and various obstacles. The goal was for each family to provide food, shelter and other basic needs on a limited income.
Afterwards, people gathered in a circle and expressed their thoughts on the experience, noting they felt stressed, frustrated, ignored and desperate as they tried to make ends meet. The struggles expressed were “on point,” according to homeless woman and volunteer Doreen Hewitt, who was at one of the agency tables that are a common part of her reality. The 40-year-old told KTW she felt people experienced a bit of an epiphany during the simulation regarding the realities of living in poverty. “The comments tonight that resonated with me were the people who weren’t able to get help, kids being left out, or people who couldn’t pay prescriptions, or couldn’t get to school, or the food bank was closed, or the bank closed at the last minute,” Hewitt said. “That’s exactly what happens in real life and that’s what happens with me all the time.” Hewitt described homelessness as a catch-22 situation, noting it’s difficult for people living on income assistance to afford rent in Kamloops, leading to many sleeping under
bridges or, like herself, in tents. That lack of housing leads to stigma, which can discourage job prospects, as Hewitt has experienced. Vanessa Shpak, who works at the Bank of Montreal, said the simulation taught her poverty can happen to anybody at any time and the problems associated with it can snowball. An example her group had was not having the cash to buy a bus pass, which led to being unable to pay rent or get food for the week. Another notable trend is people neglecting going to the doctor or struggling to afford child care and groceries when they run these simulations, United Way executive director Danalee Baker told KTW. The reason for conducting the exercise is to build understanding and empathy for those people who are living in poverty. Baker said it is an eyeopening experience that shows there isn’t a simple solution to the problem. “It’s a deeper empathy through knowledge and experience for sure,” she said.

Police seek suspect in attempted robbery of Barnhartvale store KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
An attempted robbery at the Happy Valley Foods convenience store and Esso gas station in Barnhartvale on Thursday morning has police looking for a suspect and led to nearby R.L. Clemitson elementary to undergo hold and secure protocol. (Hold and secure protocol is enacted when there is a threat in the general area of a school, but
not on the property. During this protocol, school doors are locked, but classes continue as normal. A lockdown occurs when there is a threat near or at the school. During a lockdown, doors are locked, lights are turned off, blinds are drawn and students are kept in classrooms or designated areas.) Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said a man threatened staff with pepper spray during the failed robbery attempt at 11:30 a.m. When he did not
manage to get any money or goods, the man left the store on foot. The pepper spray was not activated and there were no injuries to the employees of the store at 6221 Barnhartvale Rd. The suspect is described as an Indigenous man in his mid-30s. He was wearing a black and grey plaid scarf over his face, a black North Face jacket, a black baseball cap, jeans and black shoes with blue laces.

City man to appeal manslaughter conviction TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man convicted earlier this year of stabbing his roommate to death in 2016 has filed an appeal in B.C.’s highest court, arguing the judge who found him guilty relied too much on circumstantial evidence. Gordon Camille was sentenced in August to more than nine years
in prison after he was found guilty following a manslaughter trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Following a lengthy trial, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes ruled Camille stabbed 49-year-old Dennis Adolph to death on Jan. 26, 2016, in the Valleyview motel room the men shared. Holmes’ ruling came despite the fact she ruled Camille’s lengthy statement to police —
in which he admitted to being responsible for Adolph’s death — was obtained illegally. Holmes relied entirely on circumstantial evidence in finding Camille guilty. Adolph was found dead in the 4 Seasons Motel suite he shared with Camille after Camille asked a motel employee to call 911. Camille was arrested and questioned for 17 hours.
During the lengthy questioning, he admitted to being responsible for Adolph’s death. He told police he and Adolph had been arguing about money. At trial, court heard Adolph died of blood loss, having been stabbed once in the abdomen. Court heard Adolph’s blood-alcohol level at the time of his death was 0.40 — five times the legal limit to drive
and potentially deadly on its own, according to the doctor who performed Adolph’s autopsy. According to court documents, Camille’s appeal was filed on two grounds: that Holmes erred in her application of the law as it relates to inferences that can be drawn from circumstantial evidence; and that she erred “by concluding that ‘common sense’ could be used

to rule out accident or suicide when evidence was required.” Camille has a lengthy criminal record, including another manslaughter conviction in 1984. In that instance, he drunkenly shot his spouse while she sat in an outhouse. He then confessed to a neighbour and, later, to police. Camille also served jail time for two separate stabbings in Kamloops — one in
1998 and the other in 2008 — and for a 1994 stomping incident. Each of the offences, including Adolph’s slaying, involved alcohol use. In addition to the federal prison sentence, Camille was ordered to provide a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database and barred for life from possessing firearms. A date for his hearing in the B.C. Court of Appeal has not yet been set.
Conservatives to select a new leader The British Columbia Conservative Party is in the midst of a leadership race, with the nomination period ending on Dec. 31. “This leadership race is the start of a new chapter for our party and our province,” said party president Ryan Warawa, son of federal Conservative MP Mark Warawa of LangleyAldergrove. Warawa said the party, which has been led this year by interim leader Scott Anderson, plans to run candidates in all 87 B.C. ridings in the next election. Anderson, a Vernon city councillor, will not seek the leadership. The B.C. Conservatives have vowed to scrap the carbon tax and reform ICBC if elected. The leadership convention is scheduled to be held on Feb. 23 in the Hotel Grand Pacific in Victoria. In the 2017 provincial election, the B.C. Conservatives ran 10 candidates, spent $39,000 and garnered less than one per cent of the popular vote (10,402 votes).
Beware fees for funding help The Ministry of Children and Family Development is warning B.C. parents about thirdparty websites and related social-media posts offering to help parents access provincial and federal child care funding and supports — at a potential cost to parents. The provincial government has not endorsed any third party that offers to help parents apply for child care benefits for a fee. The ministry said such websites are not authorized to act as an affiliate or representative of either the provincial or federal government. The sites may contain numerous inaccuracies about the programs they describe, including application and processing details, according to the ministry. Parents are encouraged to be wary of sites that claim they will help with applications for a fee. There is no cost to apply for programs.

Outdoor skating group awaits results of city study The Kamloops Outdoor Skating Association is anticipating the results of a study by the City of Kamloops into an outdoor skating rink. “Now that they’re getting down to some of the core decisions on the project, our group and many of our community supporters are really keen to get engaged and bring it to life,” KOSA member Steve Gainey said. City staff has told the parks and recreation committee it has found two possible locations — one on the North and South Shores — for a refrigerated ice rink in the River City, with one location possibly at Riverside Park. KOSA has been advocating for the rink to be built. Earlier this year, the city approved a $50,000 study to determine potential locations and what the project would cost. KOSA also surveyed residents about the idea, with suggestions including a warming hut, change rooms, skate rentals, benches and supervision. “And let’s not forget about two of the other popular answers from our community survey last spring about what people thought were important elements

LinkUp is Venture Kamloops’ annual business summit featuring speakers, panels, a networking trade show and more. It’s an event geared for business owners and employers and will be held on Thursday, Nov. 22, at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Center. Kamloops This Week will be profiling many of the event’s speakers in advance of the forum. Not everyone speaking at the 2018 Venture Kamloops LinkUp Business Summit is there to talk business. In fact, comedian Tim Nutt might very well be doing the opposite. “At the end of the day, after everyone has their LinkUp stuff done,” he said, “I’m going to be coming on and telling some stories.” Nutt was a semi-finalist in SiriusXM’s Canada’s Top Comic 2018 contest and describes his comedy style as one of storytelling. “I tell slice of life, mostly what bothers me,” he said. “I’m kind of a professional complainer.” Complaining has clearly worked out for Nutt. He’s been doing stand-up for 25 years, starting in Vancouver in 1993 and continuing in Toronto after moving to Hogtown in 1995. He now makes his home in West Kelowna, so Kamloops isn’t much of a jaunt for him. “I smell your smoke when you’re on fire,” he quipped. While the LinkUp Business Summit is focused on employers, entrepreneurs and how to get the most from your business, Nutt’s show-closing comedy set is sure to leave attendees with a smile as they finish up the day. “I’m the comic relief,” he said with a laugh. LinkUp allows local business owners and employers to get access to information and resources that might not normally be available — and provides them during a jam-packed, singleday event.

LOCAL NEWS The Ministry of Transportation said pilot program banning trucks from the left lane of a portion of the Coquihalla Highway may be extended to other Interior highways. MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION PHOTO
5 reasons we support Proportional Representation:
No trucks in left lane on portion of Coquihalla KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Starting this week, commercial trucks will be restricted from using the far left lane along a specific section of the Coquihalla Highway between Hope and Merritt. The Ministry of Transportation announced the No Trucks in the Left Lane pilot program on Nov. 13, noting the restrictions could be expanded to other routes in the Interior. For now, commercial trucks will be restricted from using the far left lane on Snowshed
Hill, between Box Canyon and Zopkios. “The Coquihalla Highway is one of the province’s busiest mountain passes. Both passenger and commercial vehicles rely on it as a primary connection between the Lower Mainland and the Interior,” the ministry said in a statement. “It also experiences extreme snowfall rates, with accumulation sometimes exceeding 10 centimetres per hour. That’s a lot of white stuff coming down. “Even with regular plowing and sanding, snow and slush accumulates on the road sur-
face quickly, reducing traction and visibility. “Add a spun-out commercial vehicle (or more) to the mix and things can get messy really quickly.” Commercial vehicles were involved in the majority (33 of 35) of the extended closures on the Coquihalla Highway last winter, according to the ministry. Snowshed Hill is the location along the highway where commercial trucks spin out the most. The ministry said the pilot progam may be extended to other Interior routes.
He later pleaded not guilty, but was convicted following a trial in front of Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison. In court recently, Harrison said he remembered the case — specifically the census worker’s testimony about what she saw. Five months after his conviction, Chartier’s sentencing was delayed. He stopped reporting to his bail supervisor in the spring of 2013 and, on June 20, 2013, he

Man sentenced in absentia A former Kamloops-area man who beat up his mother and fled B.C. before he could be sentenced may soon be behind bars after more than five years on the lam. Romany Chartier, 64, was convicted in June 2012 on charges of assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm stemming from an incident a year earlier. On May 23, 2011, court heard, a census worker happened upon Chartier attacking his mother.

missed a Kamloops court date. Police tracked Chartier to New Brunswick, where he is reportedly alive and well. Harrison agreed to sentence Chartier in the offender’s absence. The judge noted the “brutish” nature of the assault in handing Chartier a 90-day jail sentence. A warrant for committal has been issued for his arrest and it is expected his sentence will begin once he is taken into custody.

Break for high-risk drivers? TOM FLETCHER
BLACK PRESS
tfletcher@blackpress.ca
The Insurance Corp. of B.C. is moving to make bad drivers pay more for rising accident and injury costs, but a new study says it is still
giving higher-risk drivers a break in rates. “The government’s recent changes are welcome, but they don’t go far enough to fix our fundamentally flawed system that punishes safer drivers with higher rates to subsidize

riskier drivers,” said John Chant, professor emeritus of economics at Simon Fraser University and author of a new study, Understanding Why Basic Auto Insurance Rates in B.C. Are So High. The B.C. government has implemented changes for next year that tighten the safe driver discount rules, so drivers need to go 10 years without an at-fault crash before they can make a claim without their insurance rate rising. Rates have already gone up 20 per cent for accumulating too many penalty points or serious offence convictions, with another 20 per cent coming in September 2019. Owners who have a learner using their vehicles will pay for the additional risk, ranging from $130 to $230 per year on basic insurance. But Chant said ICBC
should do what private insurance companies do — charge higher rates for younger drivers who are consistently more likely to have accidents than other drivers. He calculated that drivers between the ages of 16 and 20 get an effective discount of $833 per year, while drivers between the ages of 55 and 64 pay $228 more and those ages 65 to 74 pay $234 more than what their insurance risk would indicate. Another feature of B.C.’s public monopoly on basic vehicle insurance is the extras that have been added to ICBC over the years. Paying for traffic safety programs and operating driver testing, licensing and fine collection add another $50 to each driver’s basic insurance bill for the year that they likely don’t know about, Chant said.

‘Injury crisis’ CUPW priority THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Canada Post’s latest contract offers to its workers contain positives, but not enough to put an end to rotating walkouts, the head of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers said on Thursday. Picket lines were up in Kamloops for two days last week. CUPW national president Mike Palecek won’t say whether tentative deals can be reached before a Saturday deadline set by Canada Post. The walkouts are causing mail and parcel delivery delays across the country and holiday shopping is expected to worsen the situation. “After a year at the bargaining table, it looks like Canada Post is ready to start negotiating,’’ Palecek said in an interview. “That being said, these offers don’t address our core issues.’’ The union wants concrete proposals for dealing with an escalating number of work injuries at Canada Post _ and not processes designed to punt worker safety concerns down the road, said Palecek. “We have an injury crisis on our hands. They [Canada Post] finally acknowledged that,’’ he said. “But they can’t just kick these problems off to a committee and pretend they’re going to do something about it.’’ The union has cited
Labour Canada reports, which have placed postal employees ahead of longshore, transportation and mining workers in reporting disabling workplace injuries — at a rate more than five times that in other federally regulated work. Canada Post, in its latest offers to both urban and rural and suburban employees, has proposed a $10-million fund to pay for “jointly identified initiatives’’ to speed up improvements to the Crown agency’s safety record and to reduce workplace injuries. The money was included in what Canada Post calls “timelimited’’ offers tabled on Wednesday, aimed at ending rotating strikes that have created a historic backlog of undelivered parcels. Agency spokesman Jon Hamilton said the fund is “not a committee,” but a way for the company and union to work together to identify ways to make the workplace safer. Canada Post has also offered to fast-track a review of workloads to reduce overburdening of carriers who have seen a rapid increase in the number of parcels they have to deliver while letter volumes have declined. The rotating walkouts continued on Thursday at processing plants in Montreal and Winnipeg, as well as at smaller locations
in British Columbia, Ontario, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador. Canada Post said recent major shutdowns of parcel processing in Toronto and Vancouver have created a backlog of nearly 500 tractortrailer loads of parcels and packages that need to be sorted — 375 trailers in Toronto and 120 in Vancouver as of Thursday morning. The backlog has caused substantial delivery delays, said Canada Post, adding there is little hope of catching up to normal delivery times while CUPW members are agreeing to the union’s call for workers who are on the job to refuse overtime. The Crown corporation’s main sorting plants in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal normally process about one-million parcels daily. All three have been shut down several times since the walkouts began on Oct. 22. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has warned that his government will take unspecified action to end the rotating strikes if there is no significant progress in the negotiations. CUPW said there has been limited progress on issues, including job security for a minority of rural and suburban carriers, known as RSMCs, and pay for hours worked. But it said the latest proposals fail to address
equality concerns for RSMCs. Online sales giant eBay has called on the government to legislate an end to the labour dispute before the holiday shopping rush hits its first peak later this month with Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. In a letter sent to Trudeau on Tuesday, eBay said the job actions will have a long-lasting and crippling effect on many small and microsized businesses that can’t afford to pay for more expensive shipping alternatives.

Humans reshaping evolutionary history of species: paper BOB WEBER
CANADIAN PRESS
Swallows are evolving smaller, more manoeuvrable wings to help them dodge buildings and vehicles. Some fish are growing mouths that are smaller and harder to hook. Large animals, from caribou to tuna, are disappearing. Meanwhile, it’s boom time for anything not too fussy about where it lives or what it eats. “It’s a reshaping of the tree of life,’’ said Sarah Otto, a University of British Columbia researcher whose paper was published Wednesday by the Londonbased Proceedings of the Royal Society. Otto, a much-awarded and highly regarded theoretical biologist, said the activities and presence of human beings have become one of the largest drivers of evolutionary change everywhere on the planet. “Human impacts on the world are not just local,’’ she said. “They are changing the course of evolutionary history for all species on the planet and that’s a remarkable concept to ponder.’’ Earth scientists have long discussed the idea of the Anthropocene — a period of Earth’s history defined by geological markers of human impact. Otto, after reviewing dozens of research papers, concluded the planet’s biology is becoming similarly marked as plants and animals respond to human pressure. Her paper is replete with examples, from bird species slowly forgetting to migrate to mosquito breeds adapted specifically to underground subway tunnels. Backyard bird feeders are behind changes in the beak shape and strength of house finches. Different
mammals are becoming nocturnal as a way to avoid human conflict. It’s a mistake to think evolution requires millennia, said Otto. “Evolution happens really fast if the selection regimes are strong. We can see sometimes in plant populations evolutionary change in the course of years.’’ If the changes come too fast for evolution to keep up, there’s always extinction. Rates of species loss are now estimated to be 1,000 times higher than they were before human domination. More than one in five of all plant and animal species are considered at risk. Extinctions have always happened. But Otto said they are happening at such a pace and in response to such similar pressures that they are reducing the ability of evolution to respond to change. “We’re losing the ability for evolution to bounce back,” she said. “If we’re eliminating the large-bodied mammals, even if humans went extinct on the planet, we’re not going to see an immediate return of ecosystems to have the right balance of small, medium and large species,’’ Otto said. “We’re cutting off options. We’re cutting off options both within species by eliminating variability and we’re also cutting off options at the tree of life level by cutting off species.’’ Species that are doing well are generalists, such as crows, coyotes and dandelions. The biggest single human-caused evolutionary pressure, Otto said, is climate change. “We have to tackle climate change. If we don’t do that, we will going to lose a lot more species.’’

THE KHASHOGGI TAPES: THE PLOT THICKENS
H
ow odd. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sends an audio recording of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul to the governments of all Turkey’s major NATO allies — and the only one that gets it is Canada. What happened to the copies Erdogan sent to the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Germany? Lost in the mailroom, no doubt, or maybe just lying unopened on somebody’s desk. Or perhaps the Turks just didn’t put enough stamps on the packages. “We gave them the tapes,” Erdogan said last weekend. “They’ve also listened to the conversation. They know it.” But still not a word out of Washington or London acknowledging they have heard the recordings — and French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian denied that France has received a copy. When asked if that meant Erdogan was lying, Le Drian replied: “It means that he has a political game to play in these circumstances.” Like most Western politicians and diplomats, Le Drian is desperate to avoid calling out Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as a murderer. The French have a highly profitable commercial relationship with the oil-rich kingdom, mostly selling it arms, and they don’t

WATCH want to acknowledge the evidence on the recording (which may directly implicate the crown prince) because it could jeopardize that trade. Erdogan was furious when the French foreign minister issued his denial. Erdogan’s communications director insisted a representative of French intelligence had listened to the recording as long ago as Oct. 24. But it was all just “he said/she said” stuff until Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blew the game wide open this past Monday. Yes, Trudeau said, Canadian intelligence has the recording and he is well aware of what is on it. In fact, Canadian intelligence agencies have been working closely with Turkey on the murder investigation, Trudeau said, adding Canada is “in discussions with our like-minded allies as to the next steps with regard Saudi Arabia.” Why did Trudeau come clean? One popular theory is the nothing-left-to-lose hypothesis. In August, the tempestuous crown prince killed all future trade deals with Canada, pulled thousands of Saudi Arabian for-

eign students out of Canadian universities and generally showered curses on the country after Canadian officials called for the release of detained Saudi campaigners for civil rights and women’s rights. Canada’s bridges to Saudi Arabia have already been burned, according to this theory, so Trudeau felt free to say the truth. But he’s not really free as Canada still has a $13-billion contract to build armoured vehicles for Saudi Arabia that the Saudis might cancel. This is a real contract, not one of those fantasy arms sales invented by U.S. President Donald Trump. Maybe Trudeau is just braver than the others, but his purpose is clear. He waited more than three weeks after getting the recording for the “like-minded allies” to agree to a joint policy toward the murderous prince — nobody believes Khashoggi could have been killed without bin Salman’s consent — and then he spilled the beans. Of course all the major NATO governments have the recordings. They have had them for at least three weeks. They were just dithering over what to do about them and Trudeau decided it was time to give them a push. Good for him, but what exactly can they do about bin Salman’s crime? It almost certainly was bin Salman (as they call him) who ordered the killing. Since his elderly father, King Salman, gave him free rein to run the country less than three years
ago, he has become a one-man regime. Nothing happens without bin Salman’s approval, least of all the murder of a high-profile critic in a foreign country by a 15-strong Saudi hit squad including several members of bin Salman’s personal security team. No Western leader (except, perhaps, Trump) will be seen in public with bin Salman any more, foreign investment in Saudi Arabia this year is the lowest in several decades and the price of oil is falling again. So he has to go, if it’s still possible for anybody in Saudi Arabia to remove him from power. But that’s the big question. The Saudi royal family is no longer a tight, united body that can just decide bin Salman has to go and make it stick. It’s a sprawling array of people, many of whom scarcely know each other. Without the agreement of King Salman, any smaller group within the family that organized a coup against the crown prince would almost certainly fail. So he may go on for a while despite the disaster of his military intervention in Yemen, his pointless, fruitless blockade of Qatar and even this ugly murder. He wouldn’t be the only killer in power. But the bloom is definitely off this particular rose. Gwynne Dyer’s new book is Growing Pains: The Future of Democracy (and Work).

AFN chief wants action on ‘human rights violation’ KRISTY KIRKUP
CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Forced sterilizations of Indigenous women are reprehensible and must immediately be stopped, says Assembly of First Nations National Chief Perry Bellegarde. He said the scope of the problem must also be examined across Canada. “It is wrong, it is immoral, it is a gross violation of human rights and this dehumanizing practice must stop,’’ Bellegarde said in an interview. He also stressed the need for urgent investigation to ensure proper statistics are collected. Bellegarde pointed to a resolution passed by First Nations chiefs this summer at the AFN’s annual general assembly calling for increased awareness, efforts to

stop the practice and support for survivors seeking redress. The national chief’s comments come as Maurice Law, an Indigenous-owned national law firm, and Amnesty International Canada plan to raise the issue at the United Nations Committee Against Torture next week. In its submission to the UN committee, the firm said it is seeking legal reforms to stop the “modern-day forced sterilization of Indigenous women in publicly funded and administered hospitals in Canada.’’ The firm is also leading a proposed class action against all health regions across Saskatchewan, the federal and Saskatchewan governments and individual medical professionals. The lawsuit was launched in 2017 by two affected women in the Saskatoon Health Region who
each claimed $7 million in damages. About 60 women are now part of the lawsuit. Accountability for forced tubal ligations — the severing, burning or tying of the Fallopian tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus — will involve several jurisdictions, Bellegarde said. “It is not just the federal government you have to point fingers at,’’ he said. “You have to point fingers at provincial governments and district health boards because that’s where the money flows, and start getting them to communicate to their doctors and nurses that this has to stop.’’ Alisa Lombard, an associate with Maurice Law, said she has heard from a number of women following an article by the Canadian Press this week detailing reports that forced steriliza-

tion is not just a shameful part of Canadian history, but is still happening. “We’ve heard from various additional women who are reporting having been forcibly sterilized, Indigenous women, and actually non-Indigenous women who are coming forward reporting they have witnessed Indigenous women being pressured into forced sterilization,’’ Lombard said. “Since the veil of silence has been lifted, even just a bit, that courage is really seeping through, which is very encouraging. The clearer the dimensions of the issue become ... it can assist the women in their healing and understanding they are not alone.’’ Francyne Joe, president of the Native Women’s Association, said forced sterilization amounts to

Stewart is now the mayor of Vancouver. “Canadians deserve strong representation at all three levels of government,’’ the letter, dated Nov. 9, says. “In that regard, we are disappointed with your decision in delaying the call of the federal byelection in Burnaby South, leaving constituents we represented without a voice in Ottawa.’’ In late October, opposition leaders also joined

Indigenous women deserve to be respected in the medical system and to be treated with empathy and fairness like any other Canadian, she added. “For this historic act to continue happening in this day and age ... Indigenous women are not feeling safe in Canada,’’ she said. “That needs to change.’’ Ontario Sen. Yvonne Boyer, who co-authored a report on tubal ligation in the Saskatoon Health Region in 2017, said she has heard from many Indigenous women across the country who are seeking help for the trauma they’ve endured. She is supporting a call from Amnesty International Canada for the federal government to appoint a special representative who is Indigenous to examine the scope of the issue nationally.

Four leaders — the Conservatives’ Andrew Scheer, New Democrats’ Singh, Greens’ Elizabeth May and the Bloc Quebecois’ Mario Beaulieu — sent a letter to Trudeau, objecting to his decision to call a byelection in just one of the four ridings. A byelection must be called within six months of an MP leaving a seat open.

All 20 KIJHL teams to play in Kamloops MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League College Showcase will be held from Dec. 27 to Dec. 29 at Memorial Arena and McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Each of the league’s 20 teams will play a pair of regular-season games, with more than 20 Canadian and U.S. university and college scouts expected to attend. “It’s not just your star players getting the opportunity to be seen,” said Kamloops Storm part-owner Barry Dewar, one of the showcase’s organizers. “It’s maybe even the second- or third-line guy who is going to get that exposure for the future.” Dewar is expecting more than 2,000 visitors to the city and is looking for volunteers to help run the event. Email Dewar at dewar@vip.net for more information.
The Storm will play host to the Nelson Leafs on Dec. 27 and Golden Rockets on Dec. 28. Game time is 8 p.m. both nights at Memorial Arena. Dewar, who was handed a one-year suspension on Wednesday for tampering, said representatives from the Chase Heat and Sicamous Eagles are also helping to run the event. “If for some reason my involvement in the showcase changes, they will pick up the slack and take over,” Dewar said. Tickets will be on sale on Dec. 1 at kijhl. ca. Click on the College Showcase tab on the league’s website to see a list of schools expected to send scouts to the event. The Kelowna Chiefs (18-0-1-2) will play host to Kamloops (7-12) on Friday. The Storm will square off against the Chase Heat (4-14-2-0) on Sunday, with game time slated for 5 p.m. at Memorial Arena. “We have a good young team,” Dewar said. “[Coach] Jassi Sangha has done a phenomenal job getting the players ready. “We’ll be right there at the end.”

Dewar questions BC Hockey’s motives after punishment MARTY HASTINGS

BC Hockey has issued punishment following the conclusion of its review of tampering charges levied against Kamloops Storm part-owner Barry Dewar. Dewar is of the opinion BC Hockey’s decision may be retaliation for his involvement in a pending lawsuit against the provincial governing body. Bill Greene, chair of the board for BC Hockey, outlined punishment details in an email to Dewar. They include two fines for the Kamloops Storm, one for each tampering charge, that amount to $10,000, the loss of two player

sets out the guidelines and discipline to be applied in matters where tampering has taken place,” Greene said in the letter. Dewar is ruled to have improperly attempted to recruit two players who were carded with another KIJHL team, the Chase Heat. The process that led to the decision handed down on Wednesday evolved into a convoluted mess involving BC Hockey, the KIJHL and Dewar, with a series of appeals and reviews that indicate confusion on how to deal with the tampering charges. BC Hockey cut the suspension to 90 days and reduced the fine to $1,000 following an earlier appeal from Dewar, but left the door open to further discipline, which
came down Wednesday. Dewar may still have avenues of appeal pursuant to Hockey Canada bylaws. Meanwhile, Dewar is suspicious of BC Hockey’s motives. “I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that at the June AGM of the KIJHL and BC Hockey, a motion was put forward by the members of the KIJHL to take BC Hockey to court,” Dewar said. “I was the one who stood at the front of the room and presented the argument to BC hockey on behalf of our league. “There was a representative also from the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League and Pacific Junior Hockey League.” A BC Hockey rule made full

face masks mandatory at the junior B level in time for the 20182019 season. Dewar said it is the KIJHL’s position that the rule is discriminatory. “It’s not just Barry Dewar,” Dewar said. “All 20 governors agreed that we don’t want face masks in our league and that it’s changing the game of hockey for the worse. “As a result, we’ve filed a lawsuit that is being heard, I believe, in December. It’s my belief, not a fact, that it [the severity of the tampering punishment] may be retribution against my involvement in that action.” BC Hockey CEO Barry Petrachenko has been contacted for comment.

COACH FALLS ON SWORD, BUT PACK HAS HIS BACK Kendra Finch (left) and Abby Spratt of the TRU WolfPack let an errant ball soar out of bounds on Oct. 28 at the Tournament Capital Centre.
MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Head coach Chad Grimm accepted blame for his team’s anemic performance against the hometown Regina Cougars in Canada West volleyball action last Saturday. That 3-0 defeat was on him, he said, noting his TRU WolfPack didn’t show up ready to play. “On Saturday, we were a noshow. We were just flat,” said Grimm, whose charges had a better outing last Friday against the Cougars, but still lost in straight sets. “If I had the magic answer, I would love it. At the end of the day, it’s my job to get us ready to play.” Katie Ludvig, a fledgling second-year player from Kamloops, had a different take at practice on Wednesday, with her teammates preparing for weekend matches against the Winnipeg Wesmen. “We definitely don’t blame Chad,” said Ludvig, who helped the Sa-Hali Sabres to a provincial AAA high school volleyball title in 2015. “We are taking more responsibility for it and I think we can prove to him we’re a better team than that and we can be ready to

for 5 p.m. both nights. UBC Okanagan (0-6) of Kelowna is the only team trailing the Pack in league standings, while Trinity Western of Langley leads the conference at 8-0. Ludvig, who contributed five digs in the Saturday defeat, was part of a cheery group during
Wednesday’s training session, not too bothered by early-season struggles. “We expected it a little bit,” she said. “I don’t think we wanted it to be easy. But we definitely need a good win under out belt to get things going here.” Olga Savenchuk, a 30-year-
old outside hitter from Donetsk, Ukraine, led the Pack on the weekend, recording a team-leading 21 kills. The 6-foot-3 business student’s timely arrival to TRU in time for this season has helped the WolfPack deal with the loss of two of their best players, Jane Nyukhalova, who is pregnant and will miss the season, and Mikayla Funk, who is academically ineligible to play. But their absence, along with the graduation of Rachel Windhorst, will be felt throughout the campaign, as the trio accounted for about 85 per cent of the team’s offence last season, according to Grimm. Expectations and season goals have been adjusted accordingly. “I really do like the group,” Grimm said. “We have to accept that there is going to be some growing pains. We know that. We’ll learn. “Saturday, we didn’t even give ourselves a chance to be in the battle, so I don’t think we learn anything from that case, really, except for don’t do that again.”
TRU rested and ready following long break MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Friday will mark 21 days since the TRU WolfPack men’s volleyball team last played a Canada West match. The scheduling blip followed a three-match winning streak, including victories over the UBC Thunderbirds at the Tournament Capital Centre on Oct. 26 and Oct. 27, and could be seen as a potential momentum stopper. That is not how WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly feels about the three-week break. “It feels like there’s been a bit of a resurgence in the gym,” Hennelly said. “Guys are feeling physically healthy right now.” Tim Edge, a key contributor who has been sidelined with a concussion, has returned to practice and is likely to play this
weekend, when the Pack play host to the Winnipeg Wesmen at the Tournament Capital Centre. First serve is slated for 6:45 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. TRU pushed through a hectic pre-season that included an eastern road trip for matches in Hamilton, Laval and Montreal. The Pack also hosted a 76-team junior tournament. School work was backing up and fatigue was setting in. “For us, it was really good [to have the break],” said Tim Dobbert, a fifth-year outside hitter from Aichelberg, Germany. “It’s perfect for us to take care of our bodies.” The Pack (3-1)
are tied for fourth in Canada West standings, along with Saskatchewan (3-3) and Manitoba (3-3), while Alberta tops the standings at 7-1. Winnipeg (2-2) enters the weekend looking to bounce back from a pair of losses last weekend to visiting Trinity Western (5-1) of Langley. Edge’s return and a refreshed lineup should give the Pack a shot at keeping their perfect 2-0 home record intact, but they will have to limit errors, a challenge considering rust may have formed during the competitive hiatus. “They typically play a tough style of volleyball and tend not to make a lot of mistakes and play really good defence,” Hennelly said. “UBC made a lot of mistakes in our favour, as a young team, at critical times. We can’t expect Winnipeg to do the same thing.”

Dylan Garand is making his case to be the Kamloops Blazers’ goaltender of the future. The 16-year-old netminder from Victoria was outstanding for Canada Red in a 4-3 shootout loss to Sweden in the bronze-medal game at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, which wrapped up last weekend in St. John. Garand turned aside 45 shots and was beaten only once in the shootout. “It’s big for my development,” said Garand, who is back in Kamloops and will travel with the Blazers (6-91-1) for a pair of games against the Cougars (9-8-1-2) in Prince George this weekend. “I learned a lot about what international competition is like, what players from around the world are like. I’m going to use everything I learned moving forward.” The emerging backstop said he would be comfortable starting full-time in the WHL today, but Vegas Golden Knights’ signee Dylan Ferguson is the No. 1 guy in Kamloops. “My confidence is high from that tournament,” Garand said. “I’m looking forward to getting back with the guys. When my time comes, I’m ready to go in.” Garand entered competition for the backup job at training camp with a slight edge on Rayce Ramsay, 17, and Max Palaga, 18, but had to play well to win the crease, as each of the three candidates had strong preseasons. The Blazers’ No. 2 has appeared in five regular-season games, posting
one win, one loss and one shootout loss, along with a .916 save percentage. While Ferguson was away last November on a whirlwind tour of the NHL, Garand, then 15, was twice called up to the Blazers and played in three games, recording his first WHL win against Red Deer, making 31 saves in a first-star performance. Garand’s recent national-team duty gave Ramsay a chance to prove himself in regular-season WHL play. Ferguson was pulled about halfway through a 6-1 loss to Everett on Friday. Ramsay, who had been called up from the junior A Humboldt Broncos, stopped all 14 shots that came his way in relief. Ramsay was pushed into action on Sunday when Ferguson suffered a cut on his blocker hand. He allowed two goals on 15 shots in about 31 minutes of work. Everett won 5-2. Ramsay finished his WHL stint with a .931 save percentage. The Saskatoon product is off to a nice start in Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League play, posting a .923 save percentage in six games with the Broncos. It appears the Blazers have a bright future between the pipes. Ferguson has five wins in 14 appearances this season, to go along with a .897 save percentage. He is expected to start against the Cougars on Saturday, with Kamloops aiming to snap a four-game losing streak. The rematch goes Sunday. Garand will be available if needed. “It was good to play some games,” Garand said of his time with Canada Red. “I haven’t been playing too much here. It was big for me. It can only benefit me going forward.”

Opening day at Sun Peaks won’t compare to last year’s doozy MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Three mountains and nearly all chairlifts were open at Sun Peaks Resort on Nov. 18, 2017, one of the best opening days in resort history. Old Man Winter is a touch late to the party this season, which begins up the hill on Saturday. “This year, the snow has been a little slower to make its way here and temperatures have been a little bit milder,” resort marketing and communications director Christina Antoniak said. “We’re still pleased to have snow coverage at the top. “I believe we’re going to be the only resort in B.C. opening as of this Saturday, but yes, conditions are quite different than they were last year.” Three lifts — Sunburst, Crystal and Elevation — will be churning on Saturday. “At this point, we’re going to be downloading on the Sunburst chair. It’s a limited opening. We’re going to have about 15 trails open.” The resort will announce on Friday which trails will be open on Saturday. “Whether we open one lift or the whole mountain, it’s always like Christmas morning around here. There’s definitely a buzz in the community and in the village,” Antoniak said. Sun Peaks News publisher Brandi Schier echoed Antoniak’s sentiments.
“There is always positive energy in the air this time of year,” said Schier, a Prairie transplant who lives near Sun Peaks. “It could have been a little bit colder, but I don’t think it’s too much to worry about. Things can change very quickly. “Soon, nobody will even remember opening.” Some forecasters are calling for a dry winter in parts of B.C., which may lead to a shortened, less prolific ski season. Read more about that on page A33. “It’s funny,” said Schier, a Thompson Rivers University graduate. “You can spend a lot of time speculating and looking at what the season is going to be like, but, in reality, every season is different. You’ve just got to roll with the punches and hope it will be a snowy year.” Antoniak said the resort’s mountain operations team stays on top of forecasts, both short- and long-term. “Looking further into the future, could these weather patterns be a bit more of an issue for our industry? Yes, potentially,” Antoniak said. “That’s something the industry is definitely keeping an eye on.” This weekend, the best available conditions will be found at the top of Tod Mountain. “That’s where we’ll be focusing,” Antoniak said. “We’ve got a fairly good amount of snow at the alpine level.”

Warmer winters and a decline in snowfall could become the norm for some B.C. ski resorts by the end of the 21st century due to the effects of global warming, according to one professor’s research. At a recent environmental science seminar at Thompson Rivers University, Dr. Michael Pidwirny, an associate professor in environmental and geographical Sciences at UBC Okanagan, presented his research on the adverse effects greenhouse gas emissions are predicted to have on recreational skiing in B.C., including at Sun Peaks. The data was compiled from ClimateBC — a software program that can produce historical data and create forecasts for the 21st century. “It’s basically numerical methods that are used to spatially interpolate the
data from known weather stations,” Pidwirny told KTW, noting the program can estimate what the temperature and precipitation should be between stations and adjust for altitude. At TRU, he presented numbers compiled for Sun Peaks, Whistler, Big White near Kelowna, Cypress in West Vancouver and Mount Washington on Vancouver Island. His research shows Sun Peaks and Big White are expected to see warmer winters, but won’t be hit as hard as the Coast. By the end of the 21st century, those ski hills are expected to see a best-case scenario winter mean temperature of about -5 C and -2 C in the worst case.
The coastal ski resorts of Cypress and Mount Washington under a best-case scenario will likely be too warm to support skiing and snowboarding, with mean temperatures at about 0 C at Mount Washington and 1 C at Cypress. Under the best-case scenario, Whistler’s mean winter temperature will resemble that of Mount Washington’s between the 1980s and 2010s. Pidwirny forecasts the impacts climate change will have under a bestcase scenario — the earth warming by about 2 C from preindustrial greenhouse gas levels — and a worst-case scenario in which greenhouse gas emissions increase exponentially and the world’s temperature increases from 3 C to 5 C by 2100. According to Pidwirny, many climate scientists believe a best-case scenario can be achieved if governments act soon to reduce
emission levels. In term of snowfall, Cypress, Mount Washington and Whistler are all expected to experience significant decreases under both best- and worst-case scenarios by the end of the 21st century, whereas Sun Peaks is expected to see a slight uptick from 1981 to 2010 levels under a best-case scenario and a slight drop under a worstcase scenario, as is Big White. According to the numbers, the mean winter temperature at mid-elevation for the period 1901 to 1930 rose at Sun Peaks from about -9 C to about -6.5 C between 1981 and 2010. Those numbers are similar to those at Big White. For the three coastal ski resorts, the mean winter temperature rose by about one or two degrees from the 1901 to 1930 range and the 1981 to 2010 span, moving from about -4 C to about -2 C between the three of them.

FREE El Niño, blob a concern? BLACK PRESS
It could be a dry winter for B.C., resulting in a shortened ski season, according to a report from AccuWeather. El Niño — a climate cycle that occurs when Pacific Ocean waters are warmer than normal — tends to influence the global weather pattern, particularly during the winter months. “The winter weather pattern is expected to be dominated by a developing El Niño in the equatorial Pacific,” said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Brett Anderson. He said above-normal snowfall is expected for northwestern B.C. and the Yukon as a result of the storm track coming off the Pacific, but that will leave the rest of the province with milder and drier conditions, particularly in the Lower Mainland. While this translates to a healthy start to the winter ski
season, the lack of storms later in the season may cause ski resorts to close earlier than in recent years. “A majority of the snowfall in the western mountains and ski areas will come early in the season before drier weather takes hold,” Anderson said. According to The Weather Network, the return of The Blob — a massive, unusually warm mass of water in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of B.C. — could impact winter conditions. When the blob formed from October 2013 to February 2014, western North America was hit with warmer temperatures and received less snow, while the central and eastern parts of the continent were colder and recorded more snow. But The Weather Network said it is too early to write off a snowy winter on the hills. “We weren’t anticipating an average snowpack during the
chance to showcase the best junior players in the world on Canadian ice is something young fans will remember for a long time,” said Scott Smith, president and COO of Hockey Canada. The 2019 world juniors will run from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Vancouver and Victoria. Kamloops has played host to the 1996 Air Canada Cup (now Telus Cup, the national midget hockey championship), the 2014 4 Nations Cup and the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Championship.

super El Niño of 2015-2016, but the higher elevations managed to overcome the adversity,” the network said in a forecast. “With this El Niño forecast to be weaker, with the core of the warmer waters well west from Peru and Central America (Modoki El Niño), the dominant influence may very well be the sea surface temperatures just west of British Columbia. “The key, as always, will be to see how ridging in the jet stream near the Pacific Coast plays into the winter season and how many atmospheric rivers will usher in extremely high freezing levels. Those types of events can often vapourize the snowpack over higher terrain. But it’s far too early to write off a ski season because we know the B.C. ski season can come in bursts and turn on a dime. Remember, these are the mountains that can produce over 100 centimetres of snowfall in 24 hours, after all.”

David George Minaker February 2, 1960 - November 11, 2018
It is with great sadness our family announces David’s passing after a short, courageous battle with cancer. David was predeceased by his loving parents Richard and Elaine Minaker on November 10, 1983. David is survived by his five siblings Roderick, Brock (Sveta), Gordon, Erin (Allan) Askew, Sean (Linda) his many nieces and nephews, loving cousins and dear friends. David was born in Vancouver, moving to Kamloops at the early age of two. Although David was born with special needs, he marched right along with his brothers and sister following them to baseball and gymnastics and everything else. He attended Marion Schilling, Ralph Bell Elementary and Valleyview Jr. Secondary schools all prior to the school system having education assistants in place. Mom worked tirelessly with David helping him reach significant goals with reading and writing. Dad helped keep a sense of humour which David so enjoyed and both were instrumental in helping David develop his engaging personality and his special way with people. Although David faced many challenges in his life, he always had a genuine interest in how others were doing, a very compassionate and forgiving soul. If you were lucky enough to know him, you would know how kind and gentle a person he was. He always greeted you with a warm, friendly smile and a cheerful hello and a genuine inquiry as to how you are. David’s memory of people and details was quite amazing, easily remembering many fun stories the rest of the family had long forgotten. David loved watching hockey games, movies, singing in the car, going for drives and watching deer but most of all spending time at the lake with his family.
While the price difference for a cremation with NO Service is similar at most funeral homes in Kamloops, First Memorial is proud to have facilities to accommodate all of your needs, whether you choose a Celebration of Life or a full Traditional service. We can do it all at First Memorial. Come talk to us and have a look around. You will be pleasantly surprised. A big thank you to David’s most recent caregivers Patricia Strong and Allan Price and his respite worker Nancydawn Ashberry Gullason. Thank you to Ken and his late wife Margarette Hynes who cared for David for many, many years, you all meant so much to David. Many thanks to the wonderful doctors, particularly Dr. Chale and Dr. Mah, nurses, Marie Jackson, social workers and other health care professionals who gave David wonderful care. David’s CLBC and Vista friends and support workers contributed greatly to David’s happiness and wellbeing. David will live on in our hearts as he leaves us with so many fun memories and we’re pretty confident David would say to you all as he always did “ Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.” Special thanks to the staff and volunteers at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden hospice where David spent his last days with his family by his side.

James Selwyn Jago James S. Jago died on November 8, 2018 in Kamloops. He was born in Hastings, New Zealand, on February 23, 1941 and emigrated to Canada with his wife and family in 1979. Educated at Napier Boys’ High School, he remained a proud alumnus all of his life. In the early 80s, he established his own industrial piping and fabrication company in Vancouver (Challenge Mechanical) and was well known in the field of construction. He was ‘good neighbour Jim’ to many in his local area of Heffley Creek and enjoyed raising purebred Romney sheep on his own small acreage. He treasured the friendships engendered by using his mechanical knowhow in repair and fabrication for anyone who needed it. A longtime “honourary Catholic” at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Heffley Creek, he rejoiced in the friendship and community of that congregation. Being a New Zealander rugby was his game and passion. He played semiprofessional rugby in Hastings and was also a talented cricketer. He loved hunting in his beloved New Zealand hills and was an accomplished rifleman and horseman. James was predeceased by his son Lloyd James and is survived by his loving wife Sarah and daughters Vanessa and Marian.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Desert Gardens Community Centre on Wednesday, November 21, 2018 at 12:30 pm.
His Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, November 19, 2018, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Kamloops.

The family of Thomas Earl MacLeod announces that a wonderful Great-Grandfather, Grandfather, Father and Husband has passed away. On Saturday, October 6, 2018 Earl left us to be with his beloved wife Margie forever more. Thank-you to the Royal Inland 6th Floor staff and everyone at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. Your kind and tender care during Dad’s last days is greatly appreciated. Our Dad was a devout Catholic and his services were exactly as he would have wished for, thank-you to Father Paul, the OLPH congregation and everyone who joined us at the church for making his send-off to heaven so peaceful and “correct” as Earl would have said. The mould was surely broken when Dad was created. He was a fantastic “Old Guy” and “Grampy” to his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. So many memories of the cabin, fishing and stories from Cape Breton will live in them for all their days. He met, then quickly fell in love and married Margie in Cape Breton on May 1, 1954. She captured his heart and soul from their first dance and we know they’re dancing together again, to “Harvest Moon.” Earl and Margie bravely moved their family from Cape Breton to Kamloops in 1969. His work friends and employers from Hasler’s Redi-mix to Weyerhaeuser and his neighbours from Ivy Avenue, will remember a man of stature both physically and in his great sense of humour that was shared with everyone he came in contact with. Earl will be missed and lovingly remembered. Your jobs were done Dad, dance with peace and joy.

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our mom Hilda in the early morning hours of November 8, 2018 at the age of 93. She was predeceased by her husband Edward on August 30, 1997.
She was born in Birmingham, England, one of three children. It was here that she met our dad Edward Brown during the War, marrying on August 25, 1945. After the war she travelled by steamship to Halifax Harbour, settling in Vancouver, BC where they raised their five children. Mom was an avid gardener enjoying her many flower beds and greenhouse while living in Vancouver. She also loved hiking, camping and fishing. Our family has many fond memories of our trips to Nicola Lake. When Mom and Dad retired to Vernon, they enjoyed many a day hiking at Kalamalka Lake Park. Mom was also very artistic, spending time oil painting and drawing. She went on to do volunteer work for Vernon Jubilee Hospital helping with fundraising with knitting and sewing for their craft sales. She later moved to Kamloops residing at Cottonwood Manor. She volunteered her time there for the North Shore Community Centre donating many hand-made items for their functions. She is fondly remembered by her children Margaret (William), Raymond (Susan), Ronald (Donna), Kathleen (Esko), Joanne, eleven grandchildren and many greatgrandchildren. The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to all the doctors, nurses and support staff of Royal Inland Hospital (Emergency Room, 7 North, 5 North) and Ponderosa Lodge for their kindness, caring and support. “Mom, you live on forever in our hearts” At Mom’s request, there will be no service. Our family will gather to celebrate her life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Roderick Kent Duncan
Darlene Gail Martin Darlene Gail Martin passed away peacefully with her family by her side in Kamloops on October 25, 2018, at the age of 71 years.
We lost our larger-than-life father, brother and friend on November 3, 2018.
Darlene was born on February 2, 1947 in Swan River, Manitoba. She married Gordon in 1969, living in Victoria and Nelson before coming to Kamloops in 1980.
Roderick Kent Duncan was born on March 31, 1951, almost an April’s fool, he used to joke. He died suddenly, leaving us all shocked and saddened by the loss of this passionate, colourful, opinionated individual.
She will be dearly missed by her husband Gordon, daughters Cathy (Krista) of Abbotsford, Pamela (Norm) of Kamloops, Carla (Rob) of Kamloops and grandchildren Andrew, Lauren, Ashley, Nolan, Lucas, Erin, Cruz and Nik. The eldest of seven, she leaves her sisters Marlene (Jim), Valerie (Murray), and Donna (John) and brothers Henry (Belinda), Brian (Barb), and Wray, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and many friends. Darlene dedicated her life to her family, always being there for her husband, children and grandchildren. She was actively involved in her daughters’ schools, sports and activities. She worked as a practical nurse, and after raising her girls, returned to work in a local doctor’s office until her retirement. Darlene was a devoted wife, and her and Gordon enjoyed skiing, Blazer games, walking, travel and summers at the lake with their family and friends. Darlene set a tremendous example of kindness and thoughtfulness toward others. She was a role model to her children and grandchildren and she was the love of Gordon’s life. A Memorial Service will be held at Schoening Funeral Home on Sunday, November 25, 2018 at 11:00 am with close friend Reverend Ken Wall (Carla’s father in-law) officiating. Should friends desire, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
In Loving Memory of Marilyn Lumsden
August 18, 1943 November 16, 2016
Gone are the days we used to share But in our hearts you’re always there Never more than a thought away Loved and remembered every day.
Love your family
Rod is survived by his son Shea, his sisters Shelley (Jim) and Tracey (Rob), and his brother Jeff (Val). He was also dearly loved by his partner Maria, his ex-wife Susan and her daughters Alex and Olivia to whom he was a second dad. His long-time friends Ken (Dorian) Smedley and Alexander Watt will also miss their pal. He was predeceased by Sharon “Comfy” Duncan, who enriched his life immeasurably after their marriage in 1991 until her death in 2004. He never quite recovered from the void she left in his world. He was also predeceased by his father Clarence “Dunc” Duncan and his mother Vivian Duncan Davison. He was an awesome son to his mother after both Dunc and then her second husband Henry died unexpectedly. He was there for her in every crisis and was also her great friend. As well, Rod is missed by many nieces, nephews and a myriad of friends. Making and losing friends and then making more friends was a constant
Vera Schwalb It is with great sadness that the family of Vera Schwalb announces her passing after a lengthy illness, on Saturday, November 10, 2018 at the age of 88 years. Vera will be lovingly remembered by her children Wolfgang (Debora) and Barbara. Vera will also be fondly remembered by her daughter-in-law Jill, her two grandchildren Eric (Laura) and Kurtis, her great-grandson Joshua, her sister-in-law Ulla and her nephews Michael (Vera) and Ulrich (Sybille). Vera was predeceased by her husband of 53 years Hans. No service by request. In lieu of flowers, those who so desire may make memorial donations in memory of Vera to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, 110-1525 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario, K1Z 8R9.

G. Michael Sofko July 9, 1935 November 20, 2015
In loving memory of our Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather and Brother. Sofko, Baker, McNeney families and friends.
throughout Rod’s vibrant life. He lived large and he loved to engage loudly in political debate, often to the chagrin of others. If you wish to honour Rod, boycott Trump by avoiding a trip into the United States. Now that would make him happy. Rod loved to philosophize, sing, play guitar, and write, but he also had an amazing grasp of numbers and science. He was a brilliant guy. He loved Macintosh computers and had no patience with anyone who preferred PCs. He spent many hours finding the best deals when friends and family were in the market for a computer. He also loaded the software and persisted in teaching even the least technical of us. This was not fun for him, but he never gave up trying. He was incredibly generous and happiest when he was giving someone a gift. He hated capitalism, but never quit buying. In recent years, Rod greatly enjoyed his RV oasis on Kamloops Lake in the summers and then in the winters, heading off with Maria for travelling adventures. The family would like to thank Craig Arduini who diligently performed CPR after finding Rod unresponsive on the roadside. Thanks as well to the emergency personnel who endured the pouring rain as they worked to save Rod’s life. A Memorial Service will take place on November 17, 2018 at 2:00 pm at Schoening Funeral Service, 514 Seymour St., Kamloops. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
OH GREAT SPIRIT Oh Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers But to be able to fight my greatest enemy — myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset My spirit will come to you without shame.

Ed the Sock heads out on tour to fight ‘the War on Stupid’ Curmudgeonly sock will stop in Kamloops Dec. 3
SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
E
d the Sock is going to war. The surly sock character will soon hit the road for a Canada-wide tour to fight what he calls the War on Stupid. The cigar-smoking puppet, once a star personality on MuchMusic, is going after a wide range of political topics — fake news, culture wars, outrage warriors, social justice warriors, privilege, trolls, the alt-right — in his classic no-apologies style. “When I say something, it’s probably the first time it crossed my mind. It hasn’t been workshopped and focus-grouped or reduced to jargon with sanitized language,” said Steven Kerzner, the man behind Ed the Sock. The multimedia tour, which will also feature interview clips and backstage stories, is in support of some bigger ideas for Kerzner. Namely, the FU Network, which he has called “the spirit of MuchMusic reborn.” “There is nothing that exists on that peer media level in Canada. There’s no place where you can just flip on and no matter what you choose to watch, it’s stuff that will not insult your intelligence — stuff that will amuse you, that will inform you,” he said. Kerzner promises a curated, authentic and informed collection of personalities and entertainment in the lineup of hosts and shows.
“Our slogan is ‘smartass begins with smart,’” he said. Shows planned for the network, or already in production range from the arts to the political, to the nerdy — like Geek Fight, where geeks debate topics like whether TV show The Big Bang Theory is making geekdom mainstream or merely presenting a ghetto of stereotypes. Other shows tackle feminism or men’s issues. And of course, Ed the Sock will feature prominently in several shows, including Fromage: The History of Music Videos and No BS Bio, profiling newsmakers, celebrities, politicians and other “worthy targets.” Political issues have always been a part of Ed the Sock’s character, but never so much the focus before now — and the demise of MuchMusic is part of that. “Politics is the new rock ‘n’ roll,” Kerzner said. “I have always maintained the same politics. On my late night show and on MuchMusic, I was vocally supporting gay rights, gay marriage, gay adoption, back in 2000,” Kerzner said. Ed the Sock’s straight talk delivery of fact and opinion isn’t always met with agreement by his audience of the day — something he attributes to how divisive politics has become. “Nowadays you have to be fully committed to one team or the other. So, when they watch my videos and see one supporting feminism, they’ll say ‘You’re a cuck!’ — which, how can you have self-respect when you sound like a chicken? “And then they’ll watch something where I say ‘There’s no such thing as safe spaces’ or something on white privilege — and they’ll call me a fascist,” he said. It’s those strong reactions that tell Kerzner he’s doing something right. “I’m pretty much exactly where I
want to be, because making people think is something that is very offensive to them these days. And that’s the kind of offensiveness we need more of — the kind that challenges people to think, not the kind that makes them comfortable in their lack of thinking.” Kerzner sees Ed the Sock as an “awesome responsibility” and thinks of himself as Canada’s inner voice that speaks out loud. “People will watch me and say, ‘That’s what I was thinking.’ I have the license to say these things people don’t,” he said. The FU Network isn’t just a place for comedy and politics to intersect, though. The idea goes beyond the shows already in the works. Kerzner said he wants it to be a place where burgeoning entertainers and young creatives can refine their message and hone their skills and learn how to make the most of little resources — something he said MuchMusic excelled at in its heyday. “We also want to create a workplace where the next generation, creatives of all kinds, can come in and be encouraged to put who they are into their work and encouraged to take risks,” he said. Kerzner said he understands why broadcast media is so conservative these days and acknowledged that the environment he emerged in was one that allowed him to take risks, saying that his time on cable access television and MuchMusic was during the Wild West years. “Now the Wild West has been paved over,” he said. The FU Network launch is tentatively planned for February 2019, with about a dozen shows currently in production or planning stages. For more, go online to funetwork.tv. On Dec. 3, Ed the Sock will be at The Blue Grotto, 319 Victoria St., for a 7 p.m. show. Tickets are $20 and available online at kamtix.ca.

South Kamloops students use art to capture impact of climate change KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Viewing the impact of climate change locally is what is behind 14 images created by South Kamloops secondary students that will be featured in a calendar and on postcards as part of a school fundraiser. The 12th annual South Kamloops secondary art department art calendar exhibition and fundraiser will be held in the lobby gallery at Sagebrush Theatre on Thursday, Nov. 22, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The public is welcome to attend. In Embracing Nature’s Change, student artists were encouraged to identify, reflect on and capture the impact of climate change on the local environment and community in wake of two summers of recordsetting wildfires. Students began their artistic journeys with a visit to the Kamloops Museum and Archives.
Through a guided tour by museum educator Keeley Bland, students were introduced to the process of gathering visual information through primary and secondary research of artifacts and photographs in the current exhibition, Ruin & Renewal: Fire in the Interior Plateau. In addition, Kevin Skrepnek, chief fire information officer at the BC Wildfire Service, shared his knowledge and experience on the past two summers of wildfires in the area. Proceeds from the sales of the calendars and postcards will support future visual-arts projects at South Kamloops secondary. The students’ 14 images were selected by a community jury (Keely Bland, museum educator at the Kamloops Museum and Archives; Christy Gauley, SD73 arts education co-ordinator and Walt Kirschner,
South Kamloops principal) from more than 50 student acrylic paintings. Calendars and postcards will be available for purchase in late November at the Kamloops Art Gallery (Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue), The Art We Are Café (246 Victoria St.), Kamloops Museum and Archives (Seymour Street and Second Avenue) and South Kamloops secondary (Ninth Avenue and Munro Street).

arts&entertainment Arnica turns to mentor program as gallery closes its doors kamloopsthisweek.com @kamthisweek
SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
rnica Artist-Run Centre will soon close its gallery doors and focus on a new mentorship program. Previously, the gallery space at the Old Courthouse saw continuous six-week-long shows put on by its member artists. The gallery will wrap up with Arnica’s final show of the season, the annual Members’ Show and Sale, which will run from Nov. 23 to Dec. 22 at the Old Courthouse, 7 West Seymour St. Arnica was first incorporated as a society in 2003 by students from the University College of the Cariboo. In 2008 it became a charity and has paid artists CARFAC fees. CARFAC is a national artists’ representation organization that sets minimum fees artists should be paid for exhibiting their work. The closure of the gallery came about because the organization’s current model was not sustainable, according to gallery administrator Christine Beaton. “We’re still going to be a viable artist-run non-profit society. The gallery doors closing is mostly because the funding cannot support a gallery in the
format we have been running,” Beaton said. Beaton said the gallery, which relies on grants to pay its artists fees for exhibitions, said it would only get 20 to 30 per cent of what it would ask for, and as a result had to limit how much work gallery shows could display. Instead, Arnica will shift its focus to a mentorship program where it will pair emerging artists with established and experienced B.C. artists. “Personally, I think it’ll be a little bit of everything. It will be grant writing, it will be the business side and it will be artistic content and everything — probably even building crates for shipping,” Beaton said.
kamloopsthisweek kamloopsthisweek
So far as Beaton knows, there aren’t any other mentorship opportunities like this one in B.C. “This is hopefully something that will start providing really good, strong opportunities for these graduates,” she said. Mentees will be local artists from Kamloops — those who have graduated within the last three years from TRU’s bachelor of fine arts program. “If we can get this on track and continue on this then we can expand it to include more outlying areas, because not everybody stays in the city where they go to school,” Beaton said. “We have to be limited now, but I really hope we can expand beyond. The program will start with one or two mentees over a 12-week period concluded by an exhibition of the mentee’s work — and possibly the mentor’s, as well. Just because Arnica is closing its gallery doors doesn’t mean it will no longer exhibit work. Beaton said the group is also looking at the possibility of hosting other member exhibitions at “pop-up” locations they can access on-demand.

ALBANY, N.Y. — The man who gunned down John Lennon in 1980 said he feels “more and more shame” every year for his crime. Mark David Chapman told a parole board in August about his remorse during his 10th unsuccessful attempt to win release. A transcript of the hearing was released Thursday by New York prison officials.

The now 63-year-old Chapman was sentenced to 20 years to life in the Wende Correctional Facility in New York. He shot and killed the former Beatle outside his Manhattan apartment on Dec. 8, 1980. Chapman told parole board members that Lennon was “incredible” to him earlier that day when he autographed an album. Chapman said he thinks about that every day. The state Board of Parole denied Chapman’s release in August.
MONTREAL — A prestigious Quebec literary prize has been suspended amid public outcry over the announcement of online giant Amazon as the main sponsor. An organizer of the Prix litteraire des collegiens announced the decision yesterday after members of the public and the literary community denounced the multinational’s involvement.
The five finalists for the 2019 edition of the prize published a joint letter in Le Devoir this week expressing concern over what they called Amazon’s “extreme competition” and its detrimental effect on small booksellers. Authors Karoline Georges, Kevin Lambert, JeanChristophe Rehel, Lula Carballo and Dominique Fortier said Amazon’s involvement runs counter to the prize’s mission of
promoting Quebec literature. A group representing Quebec writers expressed its disappointment at the suspension and called on the Quebec government and the business community to provide the funding needed to keep the prize alive. The prize’s organizers say they will meet with members of the literary community and are ready to relaunch the contest if they receive enough support.

Book review: The Road
B5
kamloopsthisweek kamloopsthisweek
Guest Conductor:
“Once you have read it, it tends to stick with you.”
T
his Pulitzer Prizewinning novel is a decidedly sombre piece of art. If one was prone to depression in the winter months, it might not be the best book to read. But there is little question it is a masterwork. The book features an unending vista of grey skies, grey seas, grey lands and a long grey tunnel, slowly squeezing. Stark and inhospitable, the remnants of civilization are dead and buried beneath a shroud of lifeless ash. No rain falls, unless it is of ash, or is laced with ash. There are few decent human beings left. The bulk of the population has fallen back on savagery as its only recourse. Humanity has suffered a profound devolution and is now a cannibalistic caricature of its former self. This is the dark vision provided by the powerfully emotive author Cormac McCarthy. The author’s impact on recent American literature cannot be overstated, but other books of his are notably more florid. This post-apocalyptic landscape is rendered even more appalling through the author’s use of sparse prose and matter-of-fact description. Yet even amidst this dystopian diaspora, the dramatic decline into
depravity is forestalled by hope. A loving father refuses to sacrifice his humanity on the altar of expediency. Despite the seemingly absolute nature of the fight or flight ethos that is prevalent in the land, he holds to his hope. It is this man’s faith in human potential — as represented by the pure and inherently good character of his son — that drives him forward against the odds. Only this allows him to survive the hardscrabble existence of their daily lives without lowering himself to the bestial tendencies of their fellow travellers on The Road. Powerful and painful, frightening and provocative, this book is a ringing condemnation of the mantra of selfishness our society sometimes celebrates. The ending is deliberately ambiguous and open to different interpretations. This reviewer chooses to believe that it is ultimately redemptive. Whatever other readers choose to endorse is up to them, of course, but it seems unlikely they could forget their reading of this masterpiece. Once you have read it, it tends to stick with you. Jason Wiggins is owner of The Book Place at 248 Third Ave. downtown.

here’s nothing better than getting away with the man in my life and, for the most part, we’re pretty compatible when it comes to travel. We usually agree on the destination and accommodation, but when it comes to the spa thing, I stand (or lie) alone. Brent would rather be sweating over a treadmill than under hot rocks. He would take an Elliptical machine over a eucalyptus steam. Well, on this recent Maui sojourn, and visit to two top-notch spas, my skeptical hubby finally does an about-face (and body) and becomes “lomilomi” (converted). For our first stay, we’re in search of total reprieve, which we find in the heavenly town of Hana. The highway that spans from Kahului to this eastern coast hamlet is not much wider than a country road. Within a two-hour time frame, we veer around 600 curves, creep over 50 one-lane bridges and yield to countless on-comers. Our slender road loops through a feathery rainforest where we’re canopied by banyans, kissed by waterfalls and welcomed by a pot of gold at the end of numerous rainbows. Hana is steeped with just as much history as beauty. It was once home to a thriving sugar plantation and, after business dried up in 1943, the land was purchased by Paul Fagan, a high-falutin’ Californian. After finally reaching our destination resort, we’re informed: “Fagan not only established the present-day working ranch, but also opened Hotel Hana-Maui. Welcome.” The friendly receptionist wears a purple orchid behind one ear and greets us with a fragrant lei and winning smile. Asphalt walkways weave over

As well as a chilly cold plunge and lava rock whirlpool, there are more than a half-dozen treatment rooms. They offer everything from traditional Thai to locally infused therapies. From behind one of the shojistyle screens, I soon discover the true meaning of ecstasy. “How ‘bout joining me?” I say to my dubious better-half when later reading about all the
treatments for couples. “We could go for a little duo decadence.” Brent chuckles at the gesture, checks out the map for the gym and politely passes. Our second and final Maui destination is Kapalua, home of the glitzy Ritz-Carlton. Five golf courses grace this area and a number of tees border the property’s expansive acreage.

and in between are enough posh amenities to appease any Maui castaway. Brent does his daily jaunt while I stretch at pilates. When it’s time for my whole meal pampering deal, his eyebrows rise with interest. “How ‘bout some partnership pleasure?” he says with a chuckle. I can’t believe he’s going to concede. After witnessing my recent rewards of renewal my spa-skeptic husband is ready for some heavenly bliss. Over the next two hours, we succumb to utopian joys while lying side by side. Two therapists work in synchronicity like a pair of well-versed musicians. While personalizing the rainforest rhapsody to meet our specific needs, the harmony abounds. Erica’s hands are proficient but gentle and, while being masked and lomilomi massaged, I drift in and out of trance-land. I figure Brent must be headed to the same place, as moans of merriment and even the occasional snore erupt from his massage cot. We’re both swaddled in blankets like patched-up mummies before another scrumptious application is applied. This time, the delectable aroma is coconut. After being rubbed and rolled by our massage magicians, we eventually resurrect smelling sweeter than a pair of honey bees. Although speechless and wearing a dreamy gaze, Brent doesn’t have to respond — I can see he’s been transformed. After our peppermint pedicure the following morning, we board the plane, where more truth is revealed. For light reading, I carry on a guide book of other Hawaiian Islands. Brent clutches his own collection of magazines. Among it is a copy of Healing Retreats. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent travel article syndicate.

FAITH
WHAT’S IN A NAME? OPEN THE BIBLE
W
e all have a name and all names
have a meaning. Parents usually take great pains to pick the right name for their children because they know it will help define who they are. My parents named me Christopher, which means “Christ bearer.” It’s a reference to the legend that Saint Christopher once carried the Christ child across a swift flowing river. Kempling, my family name, is derived from the Saxon word for soldier (“kemp,” related to champ/champion in modern English). The “ling” ending is a diminutive, like gosling or duckling. So Kempling means “soldier’s son” or “young warrior.” Many people are named from the great men or women of the Bible. Michael, Joel, Nathaniel, Gabriel and Daniel are often used today. You’ll notice that many names in the Bible end in “el.” “El” is one of the Hebrew names of God, although in the Bible it is frequently written in the plural form “Elohim.” Michael, the name of the principal arch-
CHRIS KEMPLING You Gotta Have
FAITH
angel, means “who is like God?” [i.e. no one]. Joel means “Yahweh is God,” Daniel means “God is my judge,” Gabriel means “God is my strong man” and Nathaniel means “gift of God.” I once knew a girl named Shael, who disliked her name because it sounded like shale, a type of rock, and she would sometimes get teased about it. I pointed out that “el” meant God and shea, in Gaelic, means gift. She felt better after she learned her name meant “gift of God.” “El” is also incorporated into the name “Israel,” which means “he struggles with God.” In the Book of Genesis, Jacob, whose 12 sons were the origin of the 12 tribes of Israel, wrestles with a supernatural being all night long. Jacob refuses to let
the “man” go until he gives him a blessing. The man says, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome.” This was a spiritual transformation for Jacob, one that required a new name. The name of God was generally rendered as YHWH in the Hebrew Torah. The four consonants (early Hebrew had no written vowels) were called the tetragrammaton, YHWH was considered so holy it could only be uttered aloud by the high priest in the Holy of the Holies of the Temple once a year. No one knows for certain, but it is generally accepted that YHWH was pronounced “Yahweh.” When Moses asked God whom should he say authorized him to speak on God’s behalf, God answered, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM’ has sent me to you.’” I AM is a reflection of the eternal “presentness” of God — i.e. not bound by time, but with all of the past and all of the future at his command in an immediate “now.”
The name Jehovah is not found in the original text of the Bible. It is a constructed name derived from the habit of the Masoretes, who laboured to copy the Bible from the sixth to the 10th centuries, substituting the word “Adonai” (Lord) instead of YHWH. Some copyists would write the vowels from Adonai (a, o, a) above the word YHWH and, over time, these vowels became associated with YHWH to form Yahovah (or Jehovah as an alternate spelling). The first known written use of the name Jehovah is from a book called The Dagger of Faith by Spanish monk Raymondo Martini in 1278. Jehovah was first used in Tyndale’s English translation of the Bible in 1530 and became commonly used afterward. Jesus actually wasn’t Jesus’ name. Jesus is the Greek version of Yeshua, Joshua or Jehoshua, which means, “the Lord saves” in Hebrew. Joseph was told in a dream to give him that name “because he will save his people from their sins.” The name “Christ” is the Greek word for “anointed one,” but in Hebrew the word is Messiah.
Operation Christmas Child shoebox begins
T
he Operation Christmas Child shoebox collection season has begun. Operation Christmas Child is an annual initiative of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief organization that works in more than 100 countries. Thanks to all the items Canadians put in their shoeboxes and the $10 per box they donate to cover shipping and other program costs, Samaritan’s Purse is able to deliver the boxes to children around the world living in the midst of poverty, disease, war and natural disaster. Last year, Canadians filled more than 615,000 shoeboxes with toys, school supplies and hygiene items. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and distributed almost 157-million shoebox gifts around the globe. Kamloops area residents have annually donated more than 2,000 gift-filled shoeboxes. Boxes can be picked up or dropped off at the B.C. Wildlife Park in east Kamloops, Big Steel Box (1284 Salish Rd.), Flight Centre (410-1210 Summit Dr.), Gord’s Appliance and Mattress Centre (948 Tranquille Rd.), Hub International Insurance (299 Third Ave.), Smith GM (950 Notre Dame Dr.) or the Printing Place (552 Tranquille Rd.) during regular business hours until noon on Friday, Nov. 16.
MURRAY MITCHELL PHOTO Kamloops Alliance Church staff member Michele Sinclair (left) helps out Marie Foisy as she picks up a box to fill at the collection centre on Leigh Road.
Kamloops Alliance Church, at 200 Leigh Rd., is the collection centre locally. The centre will be open on Wednesday, Nov. 14, and Thursday, Nov. 15, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and from Friday, Nov. 16, to Sunday, Nov. 18, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. or by appointment. After the shoebox gifts are collected, they will be sent to Calgary to be inspected and prepared for hand-delivery to children worldwide, using whatever transportation method necessary — sea containers, trucks, trains, airplanes, helicopters, boats, elephants and even dog sleds.
In the Lord’s Prayer, we say, “Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.” The name of God is holy, or hallowed, and deserves to be said only with respect and reverence. The apostle Peter, confronted by the religious rulers of the day, was filled with the Holy Spirit and said of Jesus Christ, “Salvation
is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” That is quite a statement — and one that sets Christianity apart from every other religion on earth. Paul, echoing the prophet Joel in his letter to the Roman church, said, “Everyone who calls on the name of the
Lord will be saved.” The name of God has the power to transform lives. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page. Columns should be between 600 and 800 words in length and can be emailed to editor@ kamloops thisweek.com. Please include a very short bio and a photo.
