TRU PROFESSOR SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS David Scheffel found guilty on various charges related to his research into Romani people of Slovakia Thompson Rivers University professor David Scheffel is led away from court in handcuffs after being sentenced in Prešov, Slovakia, to seven years in prison. Scheffel was found guilty on charges of sexual abuse and illegal armament, though the 64-year-old 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.

Kamloops resident and Thompson Rivers University professor David Scheffel, who was facing a raft of charges in Slovakia, has been sentenced to seven years in prison, Slovakian media outlets are reporting. Earlier this week, a Slovakian court in Prešov found Scheffel guilty of sexual abuse and illegal weapon possession — an old unloaded rifle given to him by his father — and struck down charges concerning child pornogrophy, said Ivan Somlai, a friend and colleague of Scheffel’s who has been in contact with his lawyer. “On one hand, the court approved our claim that there was no crime related to child pornography, but on the other hand, the sexual abuse is problematic due to the circumstances under which it allegedly happened,” said Scheffel’s lawyer Daniel Lipšic, as quoted by TV Markíza. Scheffel, who is a permanent resident of Canada, but has Dutch citizenship, maintains his innocence.

He has spent years studying child prostitution in the Roma settlements of eastern Slovakia and believes the charges brought against him are trumped up and an attempt to brand an advocate of the Romani people as their enemy. Somlai said Scheffel and his lawyer have launched an appeal and intend to prepare the appellate brief

once the written decision is handed down by the end of the month. One of the main issues for the defence, Somlai said, is that while the court found the testimonies of minor witnesses credible, there was no opportunity for cross-examination. An article in the Slovak Spectator also noted the judge deciding on the case took into consideration only

the testimonies which had been done without Lipšic’s presence. “They do feel they have an extremely strong reason for a successful appeal,” Somlai said. Having stayed abreast of his friend’s case from Kamloops, Somlai said he hasn’t heard of any assistance coming from the Canadian government, despite having written

various letters to lawmakers, pointing out the assistance permanent residents like Scheffel are afforded. “Absolutely zero,” Somlai said when asked for government’s response. “I think the government is absolutely pre-occupied with China, with Huawei, with Trump — anything other than humanitarian assistance.” Somlai has also expressed frustration with local Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, who he described as being seemingly uninterested in communicating with regard to Scheffel.

Lorne Hamer-Jackson, who had been missing since Saturday night, suddenly walked up to his Brocklehurst home on Tuesday night. His sister, Loni Hamer-Jackson, and others were gathered at his Happyvale Avenue home just before 9 p.m., preparing to embark on another search — the living and dining rooms set up as their command centre, complete with mapping of the city — when Lorne returned. “We looked out the window and, all of a sudden, he was walking into the yard,” Loni said. The family had been searching for three days and were growing concerned as Lorne has no wallet, cell phone, ID or money and less than a half tank of gas in his car. Disoriented and dehydrated, Lorne was met with tearful hugs from relived family members and friends. “We ran out and, obviously, we tackled him. We were all over him. It was so emotional,” Loni said. Lorne appeared confused and not sure why everyone was there, she said. “He was so disoriented,” she said. “He doesn’t know why he left, he doesn’t know where he actually went, he doesn’t remember leaving his vehicle. It’s still a mystery.”

Lorne, a Kamloops resident for 40 years, has mental-health issues for which he takes medication, Loni said, noting he has been struggling with depression and anxiety for a few years. Lorne was last seen on Saturday night and reported missing on Sunday morning when he and his wife’s black Chevy Cobalt were nowhere to be found. His wife noted he wasn’t making sense when she called to check in on him the night before and asked family members to visit him. When he went missing, the family organized a massive search, scouring city streets and areas of the backcountry Lorne was known to frequent. But he ended up being picked up by a Good Samaritan who was driving along Westsyde Road near the McClure Ferry. Loni said Lorne emerged from a ditch and waved the car down. Lorne climbed into the passenger seat and it was apparent to the driver that he was confused and tired, Loni said, noting Lorne knew where he lived. Not knowing he was the subject of the missing persons report, the driver dropped Lorne at his house and left. He later contacted the family upon seeing a news report regarding Lorne’s return. The family is still trying to find the black Chevy Cobalt Lorne was believed to be driving when he disappeared.

Lorne is at Royal Inland Hospital, undergoing testing to determine why he became disorientated and wandered off. Loni said the doctor overseeing Lorne at the hospital told her it’s unusual for a man his age to have been disorientated for that length of time, adding that the medication he takes probably wouldn’t have been responsible. “But, you know, Lorne’s been reaching out for help with his anxiety and depression for a couple of years and the mental-health care in this city so far has really failed him and, in turn, failed the family in a sense because he hasn’t gotten the care he needs,” she said. She said there needs to be more services in town for individuals dealing with these issues. Looking back on a harrowing three days, Loni noted the positive outcome could have instead been terrible. “Being so disorientated, he could have walked over a cliff. He could have fallen in the river,” she said. “It was a very scary situation.” Loni said she thanks the community for all their support during this ordeal. “The outreach and the support and the care and the love and the prayers given from people we know and people we don’t even know is just overwhelming,” she said.

INVITE POLLINATORS TO YOUR GARDEN

PROPERTY TAXES ARE DUE JULY 2

The majority of the insect species we encounter are beneficial or harmless. So, instead of banishing all insects from your garden, make some helpers feel welcome!

Taxes are due by 4:00 pm on July 2, 2019. There are several ways to pay.

Pollinators - Who Are They? Pollinators include native and non-native bees and wasps, flies, moths, butterflies, and some beetles. Their work benefits us daily. They are an essential part of our ecosystem—transferring pollen from plant to plant—so we all need them for food production and the regeneration of our beautiful landscapes. Pollinators - How Can We Help Them? Choose a variety of garden plants that are abundant in pollen and nectar, such as catmint, daisies, lavender, and blackeyed Susans. Provide water and nesting sites (ornamental grasses have nooks and crannies to protect pollinators). Avoid pesticides such as insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides.

Through your bank: online (search for “Kamloops property taxes” payee and use the 10-digit folio number on the notice as the account number), through telephone banking, or in person at your bank. In person at a City facility: • Tournament Capital Centre (TCC), 910 McGill Rd., M–F, 8:00 am–4:00 pm • City Hall, 7 Victoria St. West, M–F, 8:00 am–4:00 pm (due to road work near City Hall, residents are encouraged to pay using alternative methods). In a City drop box at: City Hall (24 hours), the North Shore Community Policing Office (915 7th St., M–F, 8:00 am–noon and 1:00–4:00 pm), and TCC (5:30 am–11:00 pm daily).

Discipline follows antiLGBTQ posts at South Kam Signs with this message were posted inside South Kamloops secondary last week. Three students behind their creation were reprimanded.

MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Anti-LGBTQ signs posted at South Kamloops secondary last week shows that more work needs to be done, but progress is being made, according to School District 73’s principal for inclusive education. Some students printed posters displaying a meme bashing Pride Month — recognized each June — and taped them on walls and mirrors in the Munro Street high school on June 12. Social media posts appear to show one sign was on a bathroom mirror and another on a bulletin board. The text read: “Veterans only get one officially recognized day but gays get a whole month because they are so brave and they do so much for our country.” The signs were noticed by staff and students, reported to administration and removed quickly, said SD73 assistant superintendent Bill Hamblett, speaking on behalf of the school. Hamblett did not know the precise number of signs posted, but said there were several. Three students were reprimanded for posting the signs, Hamblett said, citing privacy reasons in declining to specify what disciplinary action was taken. The students’ actions constituted a breach of the school dis-

trict’s student code of conduct, he said, which can vary from a verbal warning to suspension. “They weren’t fully aware of some of the repercussions it might have for other kids or staff,” Hamblett said. “Not a good decision, but they understood they made a mistake.” Vessy Mochikas, SD73’s principal for inclusive education, said while the incident represents a learning opportunity for those involved, it also demonstrated the tolerance of the students who reported the posters immediately because they knew they were offensive. “Just because the posters went up, I don’t think we can jump to the conclusion that this is a mass feeling out there. I would suggest it’s otherwise,” Mochikas said. “Every student wants to have

a sense of belonging and connection and feel safe at school.” The incident also showed Mochikas the need for continued work in her role supporting teachers in delivering a curriculum that promotes respect and diversity with materials woven into different subject areas. “You don’t stop at 9:45 a.m. and say now we’re going to learn about gender diversity … it might mean that a class is reading a novel where a character is gay or transgender or their are two parents of the same sex,” she said. “The idea is you see the diversity in the world in your curriculum and you realize in many ways you can tell how we might be different, but we’re actually more alike,” she said. “It really promotes understanding, kindness, respect.”

SD73 commits to Vavenby and area The Kamloops-Thompson school board is assuring parents that schools in the North Thompson Valley will remain open this fall despite the pending mill closure in Vavenby. Canfor Corp. will close its sawmill in Vavenby in July, eliminating 178 jobs. The company plans to sell its timber rights to Interfor Corp. for $60 million. The school board has unanimously approved notifying parents that Vavenby and Raft River elementary and Clearwater secondary will be staffed and operating as normal for the 20192020 school year. After that, there’s plenty of uncertainty surrounding the future of those schools, board chair Kathleen Karpuk told KTW. “At that point, we’re going to be monitoring

where our student numbers are,” Karpuk said. “We don’t know if families will remain.” There are 17 students enrolled in the singleteacher Vavenby elementary — three in kindergarten, six in Grade 2, four in Grade 3 and four in Grade 4. There is the possibility of up to eight kindergarten students enrolling in September for the 2019-2020 school year, according to an SD73 report issued before the mill closure was announced. The school board recently approved reconfiguring the elementary school from a K-4 to a K-7 model due to enrolment growth beginning in the 2019-2020 school year. Karpuk said adding Grade 5 is still a go for the fall.

Kamloops firefighters contained a two-hectare blaze near the Cinnamon Ridge recycling area that climbed into the trees south of the site. Kamloops Fire Rescue assistant captain Dan Sutherland said the fire was under control as of about 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The fire was burning dry grass and trees off a dirt road on private land. Cause of the blaze has yet to be determined.

Scheffel has been detained since 2017 From A1

“If she has tried or done anything, it remains a secret,” Somlai said of McLeod. “Considering we are dealing with an EU member country, it is highly improbable that well-briefed representatives of Canada, in various positions, could not provide some useful support.” A call to McLeod for comment regarding the Scheffel verdict yielded a call from a staff member in her office who said McLeod was en route back to Kamloops and wasn’t able to comment without permission from Scheffel’s family. During a townhall meeting at TRU in January, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there isn’t much his government can do in terms of consular support as Scheffel is a Dutch citizen, but noted his officials have been “working very closely with Dutch authorities to make sure he’s getting all the support he can in the situation he’s in right now.” Trudeau, however, did not elaborate as to what that work has entailed. Scheffel has told KTW that while he was in prison, he was visited by the Dutch ambassador to Slovakia, who assured him Dutch authorities were doing everything they can, but that they cannot question Slovak police and judicial procedures since they are required to comply with EU standards. Scheffel said his lawyer met with Heidi Hulin, the Canadian ambassador to the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Scheffel has been detained in Slovakia for nearly two years, having been arrested in November 2017 when he took a flight from Canada to speak with police in Prešov regarding the accusations against him. He was jailed for 10 months before being released on bail last fall, with the condition he wear an ankle monitoring bracelet. Scheffel told KTW his family was able to visit him at Christmas, which brightened his spirits. Scheffel was jailed again earlier this year after allegedly being in contact with a witness, according to Somlai and the Slovakian Spectator article. That article stated that during the trial last summer, a psychologist evaluated the testimonies of several Romani girls, who claimed Scheffel touched them and took their nude photos. The psychologist said the testimonies were trustworthy. Lipšic pointed to the contradictions in their testimonies. Lipšic asked the court to include Scheffel’s recordings with the girls. “They will confirm that fabulation and lies are present in the relevant part of their testimonies,” Lipšic said, as quoted by the private broadcaster TV JOJ. Scheffel has rejected all the accusations, adding mothers of the girls also testified in his favour at one of the last hearings. TRU sent KTW a statement, saying the university administration is aware of and monitoring the situation, but that it is unable to provide further comment due to privacy laws.

Sagebrush repairs to begin, October completion eyed MEANWHILE, THE THEATRE IN THE COAST HOTEL IS BEING TURNED INTO MEETING SPACE jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Sagebrush Theatre has been closed since February. DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE

A&T Project Developments Inc. has been awarded the contract to fix the roof of Sagebrush Theatre. A cracked roof truss was discovered earlier this year, shuttering the 685-seat theatre at 1300 Ninth Ave. and leaving the arts community scrambling to find alternative venues in which to host plays, dance recitals, musical acts and more. The facility adjacent to South Kamloops secondary is owned by the Kamloops-Thompson school district and jointly operated with the City of Kamloops and Western Canada Theatre. It is also home to Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and plays hosts to myriad acts that come through the city. School district communications manager Diana Skoglund said local development company A&T intends to get started on the project next week, with an anticipated completion date of midOctober. By that estimate, the theatre will have been closed for about eight months, having been shut

Theatre’s first production of the season, Dracula: The Bloody Truth, is scheduled to open in Sagebrush Theatre on Oct. 10. Klassen said it is “looking like it is going ahead.” However, timing will be critical because the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen — the venue at which WCT performed two shows (Buddy the Buddy Holly Story and Mom’s the Word: Nest 1/2 Empty) since the Sagebrush closure — will no longer be available come time for the count to hit the stage. The hotel in Aberdeen is undergoing renovations in July that will see its 450-seat theatre transformed into another conference space/ballroom. The last performance in the theatre will be The Abba Show on June 30. “The closure of the Coast Hotel’s theatre does mean that there are no viable alternative performance spaces in the city of Kamloops of more than 300 seats,” Klassen said.

down in mid-February. Western Canada Theatre managing director Evan Klassen said the contract went out for bid at the end of May, following delays with the engineering process. Skoglund said in order to fix the truss, a steel exoskeleton will be built to hold it up. The project’s cost is $900,000, a bill not covered by insurance. “Insurance has said that because there is no external factor for the failure of the truss, it’s not covered,” school district facilities director Art McDonald told KTW. The school district will be on the hook financially, but McDonald said the city has apparently indicated it will partner in

footing some of the bill. “We haven’t had those discussions yet,” he said. Klassen said a few events had been booked at Sagebrush Theatre in September. “Obviously, we’ll work with those clients to either find an alternate home or go down the route of cancellation or postponement,” he said. Kamloops Symphony Orchestra is expected to be affected, in light of a show in late September. The professional symphony has tentatively eyed the Oasis Church in Aberdeen — where it performed after Sagebrush closed — as a continued temporary home. Meanwhile, Western Canada

“Obviously, there’s some churches, there’s other things. As far as a theatrical space for Western Canada Theatre, that space is no longer available to us.” Asked what WCT will do if Sagebrush renovations are delayed, Klassen said the theatre company would look at alternative scheduling or the possibility of moving to Pavilion Theatre east of downtown. He said Dracula: The Bloody Truth will not be cancelled. “But those are not really options that we’re keen to explore,” he said. “We are looking at doing our run in the Sagebrush.” As debate around the performing-arts centre ramps up, Klassen noted a need for both a PAC and Sagebrush Theatre. “There’s more than enough booking interest to justify its continuation even regardless of a performing-arts centre discussion,” he said. “It happens to time out at the same time as all the other things have happened. It definitely underscores that we need that space and we need the Sagebrush.”

FAKE NEWS CAN BE WEEDED OUT

anadians are not that confident in their ability to distinguish between real news and fake news, according to a recent national survey. But perhaps that uncertainty is, at least in part, a good sign. The Canadian Journalism Foundation survey found 40 per cent of people had little to no confidence in their ability to tell the difference between factual and false information in what appear to be media reports. We say “appear to be” because during the last decade, there has been a massive increase in outlets dedicated to making up — well, just about anything. Much of the content put together online is designed, quite deliberately, to induce outrage, disgust or shock. The fact that a significant portion of Canadians are doubtful is understandable. The early versions of these sites were often driven by the drive for profit — they were often self-proclaimed satire sites, but their hunger was simply for millions of clicks, which means advertising revenue. These tactics were later weaponized by the Russian intelligence service to sow dissent. There are a few ways to tell real news from fake. First, if multiple reputable outlets of longstanding are reporting similar stories, it’s probably real. Second, does the story reference sources for its information? Documents, court records, interviews with eye witnesses or officials are one way to recognize real reporting. Third, pick a reputable site and visit it directly. Fake news spreads because your cousin’s friend’s dentist shared a link and you saw it. But you’d be better off picking a reputable news site you trust — and visiting it directly. One final thought: know the difference between fake news (false information deliberately created to deceive) and honest mistakes, which are inadvertent and corrected when the media outlet learns of the errors.

Fuel-filled fabrications

f you have visited the Lower Mainland recently, you may have noticed billboards featuring a photo of Premier John Horgan. You may have noticed the billboards carried a message of gratitude, from the B.C. Liberals to Horgan and the NDP government for their remarkable work in getting gas prices to plummet from record highs only weeks earlier. You may have seen such a billboard of gratitude while driving through Merritt, where the price at the pump plunged to below a buck a litre last week amid a gas war in the Nicola Valley community. And, if you are active on social media, you may have come across many tweets from B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson and his MLAs, aiming praise at Horgan and his New Democrats for the tremendous job the provincial government has done in making gas prices fall so far so fast. If you are a regular visitor to the Lower Mainland and/or a social-media addict, you are probably wondering what the hell I am talking about. You did not see any of the above because none of it exists. None of it exists because the gas prices fell sharply for reasons wholly unconnected to Horgan’s NDP or any other political party. Since this is fact, why, then, did we this past spring endure examples of the above-mentioned scenarios, only with the messages of gratitude replaced by the B.C. Liberals blaming Horgan and the NDP for the rising cost of

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS filling up at the pump? If, as Wilkinson and his MLAs claimed repeatedly, Horgan and the NDP were to blame for the high gas prices, wouldn’t Horgan and the NDP now be credited with the lower prices? Of course, neither claim is true — and making such accusations only serves to further alienate voters already weary of false partisan attacks, like we see too often south of the border. Wilkinson and the Liberals know full well the dramatic spike in gas prices a few weeks ago — prices eclipsed $1.70 per litre in Metro Vancouver — had nothing to do with the provincial government. When prices hit a then-record $1.50 or more per litre under the B.C. Liberal government in 2014, the cost of filling up had nothing to do with that administration. Taxes contribute to the overall price of gas, of course, but taxes have nothing to do with overnight spikes of 20 cents per litre, which we have seen in Kamloops this year.

If taxes are to blame, then Horgan and the NDP are responsible for two cents of the 17.4 cents in provincial taxes paid at the pump (outside Metro Vancouver, where drivers pay an additional 17-cent per litre Translink tax) — in the form of the one-penny carbon tax hikes on April 1, 2018, and April 1, 2019. The carbon tax, one will remember, was created by the B.C. Liberals. The remaining taxes we pay at the pump? Credit the B.C. Liberals from 2001 to 2017 and the various federal governments in Ottawa. This is not about bashing the B.C. Liberals because the NDP was as guilty of inventing false narratives when it was in Opposition. This is not about us versus them, whichever side you are on. It is about calling for all political parties to stop with the false claims, the charade through which most voters can see. It’s a good time for this reminder as another fuel-filled controversy — the re-approved Trans Mountain pipeline expansion — takes centre stage. Remember, as you listen to all sides of this issue, that the project will neither solve our economic woes nor destroy our environment. Like many issues in the political world, the reality will be found somewhere in the middle of the two solitudes. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR BIOSOLIDS BATTLE FAR FROM FINISHED Editor: Re: The June 8 KTW article (‘Court rejects injunction bid from opponents of biosolids project’): The lead into the article takes Justice Dev Dley’s comments on his decision out of context. Dley said the applicants (Turtle Valley residents) have not met the threshold questions and that there is little if any evidence of risk as set out in the evidence. He did not imply there is no risk in biosolid land applications, but that in this case, we, the plantiffs, failed to provide the evidence he believes is required to establish there is a high probability that harm will occur. This distinction is important. The possibility of real harm from applying biosolids to agricultural land at this rate, using this particular method, continues to exist, but we were not able to prove this to the judge’s satisfaction. Thus our application was dismissed. I do not believe this battle is over. There will be other opportunities to demonstrate in a more definitive way that the risks are not just possible, but highly likely. Margaret Fryatt Turtle Valley

BUSINESS AS USUAL IS KILLING US Editor: Even though the B.C. Court of Appeal failed to give the province the right to limit the flow of bitumen through the Trans Mountain pipeline, there is an opportunity for Premier John Horgan to put forward a plan for a revamping of the pipeline’s proposed expansion to make it more acceptable. Currently, it’s a mess. B.C. is committed to pursuing its legal rights to protect the environment. First Nations are committed to legal actions to protect their rights. Alberta is committed to causing as much harm as possible by threatening to turn off the taps of fuel supplies to B.C. through the existing pipeline (but continuing to pump hazardous tarsands bitumen to tankers on the coast). The federal government is coming to realize that it has become the proud owner of a very large and long legal and political migraine headache — and that’s just with the approved expansion. The existing pipeline is in itself an environmental time bomb fast approaching dangerous obsolescence, as it was not even intended to carry corrosive and gritty diluted tarsands bitumen when it began operating in 1953.

B.C. may soon come to the point of realizing this problem as leaks begin and the province is forced to act to unilaterally attempt to shut the pipeline down in self-defence. As well, the obvious lack of appropriate consultation and compensation of First Nations in the construction of the existing smaller pipeline is a national embarrassment that needs to be reconciled. Here is what I propose can be done to change these dynamics: Decommission use of the existing 24-inch pipeline when a new and larger pipeline is brought online. Put into place beforehand a process properly implementing the more safely engineered and larger 36-inch Trans Mountain pipeline. In that process, cap diluted bitumen flows at existing levels. Clearly build into the process an honest respect for B.C. and First Nation rights and needs in a much more even-handed way, prioritizing proper consultation and respectful agreements with all affected First Nations. Rather than permitting the increased capacity of the proposed new and larger pipeline to carry more bitumen, the federal government as the owner has the ability to instead permit only

the increased flow of refined gasoline and other fuels from Alberta to B.C. and other markets, all the while maintaining the existing flow of diluted bitumen. This would eliminate the very sensitive issue of massively increased transport of toxic bitumen through B.C. and coastal waters. At the same time, it would halt Canada’s much larger contribution to the acceleration of the already extreme climate-change disaster unfolding before our eyes here and across the planet. Unlike the current plan, the above proposal actually provides room for various substantial benefits B.C. and First Nations are not now getting. And, not only would Alberta’s existing oil patch jobs be protected, but many additional jobs would be created with pipeline construction and the necessary construction and operation of new refineries. Yes, maintaining a strong economy is necessary, but for God’s sake, isn’t it time to let go of this mindless business as usual mentality and actually do something real to throw water on climate change? Our home is burning. John McNamer Kamloops

MAXIMIZE USE OF ROOF AT ROYAL INLAND HOSPITAL Editor: I have a suggestion to make for the $417-million patient-care tower being added to Royal Inland Hospital. Can organic greenhouses and/ or gardens be included on the rooftop? It would not only supply patients with fresh, healthy foods, but would give some locals much-

needed jobs. We have an excellent horticulture program at Thompson Rivers University and we can hire local to feed local. Would that not be a wonderful thing to do? Other hospitals have done it and it has been very successful. Diane Czyzewski Kamloops

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MAINTAIN A HEALTHY SKEPTICISM AND LOOK AT ALL SIDES “

None of the people who Lettinga looks to for guidance on how to think about climate change could possibly be experts on the subject.

”

Editor: In his letter of June 14 (‘Check reliable sources when researching climate change’), Marten Lettinga claims Dr. Tim Ball is an “anthropogenic climate change denier” and a “retired geography professor, not an expert on climate change.” Lettinga says we should check out the realclimate.org website and listen to Dr. Katharine Hayhoe’s TED Talks. Clearly, Lettinga is under the impression that Hayhoe and the people who contribute to realclimate.org are experts on the subject of climate change and that we should listen to and agree with them because of their expertise.

However, when I checked out realclimate.org, I found that none of the current or former regular contributors has a degree in climate science. There are five mathematicians and physicists, a couple of geoscientists (one with a master of science in geography, geology and mineralogy), a geochemist, a computational ocean chemist, a software engineer and a guy with a bachelor of science in wildlife management and a master of science in plant science. Hayhoe’s degree is in atmospheric science and she teaches political science at Texas Tech University.

Editor: Lots of people enjoyed free minigolf on McArthur Island on Father’s Day. Kudos to the City of Kamloops for seeing the importance of fun, inexpensive family recreation. Doug Butler Kamloops

on how to think about climate change could possibly be experts on the subject. I don’t rely on “experts” to tell me what to think. I maintain a healthy skepticism. I look at all sides of a question, then decide for myself what to think. I suggest everyone else do the same. And a side note to Lettinga — if you have to call someone names and denigrate that person’s education and professional career in order to make your point, your argument isn’t very good.

Now, I have all kinds of respect for the amount of time and energy these people expended to achieve their education. Most of them are PhDs in their fields. Nevertheless, not one of them has actually earned any degree in climate science. So, how did Lettinga come to the conclusion that these people are “climate change experts?” Lettinga strongly suggested that not having a degree in the field of climate science disqualifies one from being an expert on climate change. If so, then none of the people who Lettinga looks to for guidance

Standoff in North Kamloops ends peacefully KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A standoff in North Kamloops this week ended with the suspect giving himself up to police. A heavy Kamloops RCMP presence in North Kamloops on Wednesday morning was in response to a domestic disturbance in which a man had refused to come outside. Police were called at 6 a.m. and, at 8:20 a.m., a man walked out of his home and surrendered to Mounties. More than a dozen police vehicles carrying uniformed, plainclothes and heavily armed officers and police dogs were blocking the intersection of Fortune Drive and Cypress Avenue and were also in the alley north of Cypress and on streets parallel to Fortune, toward the river. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said police responded to a report of a disturbance in a home in the 200block of Cypress Avenue at 6 a.m. on Wednesday. The residence is a duplex two properties east of Fortune, on the south side of Cypress. Shelkie said once officers arrived, a man at the address refused to come outside. Shelkie said the man was the only person in the home, noting there were no firearms inside. Two neighbours told KTW there had been a domestic dispute in the home, but the man let the woman leave the duplex. Shelkie said no nearby homes were evacuated as there was deemed to be no risk to the public. Aside from the entrance to Cypress off Fortune being blocked by police vehicles, traffic continued to flow along Fortune, just metres from the standoff.

Forestry workers ratify five-year contract MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Forestry workers have ratified a new fiveyear contract amidst various closures and layoffs at area sawmills. The agreement is for five years, with about two per cent increases every year, retroactive

to July 1, 2018. It was approved by United Steelworkers Local 1-417, which represents workers in Kamloops, by a margin of 84 per cent. Locals for the Kamloops, Kelowna and Cranbrook areas were given a final offer from the Interior Forest Labour Relations

Association (IFLRA). Though the offer wasn’t signed off on by the union’s provincial bargaining committee, it was put to membership for a vote. The new contract will expire on June 30, 2023. Multiple forestry companies have announced closures

and layoffs recently, citing a lack of timber supply, high log costs and weakening lumber markets in the decisions. West Fraser will permanently close its Chasm sawmill north of Clinton, eliminating 176 jobs, and cut a shift from its 100 Mile House mill in the third quarter

of 2019, affecting 34 employees. That news followed an announcement from Canfor earlier this month that it will shutter its Vavenby mill, east of Clearwater and about 90 minutes north of Kamloops, costing 178 people their jobs. In May, Aspen Planers announced it was cutting 50 employees from its Merritt operation. In a bargaining update announcing the new contract, USW 1-417 president Marty

Gibbons said union leaders are working with government and industry to find solutions to the “tremendous pressures our members and B.C.’s Interior forest industry are facing during this difficult time.” Gibbons did not immediately respond to KTW for comment. USW Local 1-417 represents forestry workers in areas including Kamloops, Clearwater, Salmon Arm, Merritt and Clinton.

Weapons find leads to arrests Two Kamloops residents were arrested in the early-morning hours of Wednesday after police allegedly found numerous weapons in a vehicle. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said an officer performed a routine traffic stop on Seymour Street downtown at 2 a.m. “When the officer approached the vehicle, he saw a Taser and a hunting knife near the centre console of the vehicle,” Shelkie said, noting the man and woman inside of the vehicle were arrested without incident and the vehicle was searched subsequent to the arrest. According to police, found in the vehicle were two Tasers, two cans of bear spray, two machetes, a collapsible baton, a hatchet and numerous knives. A 45-year-old woman was released with a future court date. A 50-yearold man was taken into custody to appear before a judge. He is facing possible charges of possession of a weapon while prohibited, possession of a dangerous weapon and possession of a weapon with no licence.

City joins TNRD in Recycle BC expansion bid JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops council will send a resolution to the Union of BC Municipalities convention this September, with the aim of convincing Recycle BC to expand to allow institutional, commercial and industrial recycling. Coun. Kathy Sinclair made the motion on Tuesday, following news Recycle BC would not allow municipalities to add on the service. Recycle BC has arrangements with a small number of depots in the province, but as of May 2019 stopped allowing municipalities to opt in to the program. The ThompsonNicola Regional District board passed a similar motion last week, which Sinclair said is complementary in terms of lob-

bying the province. “To me, it keeps the heat on at the political level,” she said. Council voted unanimously to pass the motion. Council is also requesting meetings at the convention this fall with numerous ministers on a wide sweeping number of local issues, including: • Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth, on the use of city jails and the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, in addition to a sobering centre; • Attorney General David Eby, on the BCLC headquarters replacement, CFO position to be posted in Kamloops and vacant land northwest of BCLC for future use and beautification; • Minister of Finance Carole James, on cannabis revenue sharing; • Minister of Forests,

Tk’emlups takes on its language Tk’emlups te Secwépemc continues to take steps toward revitalizing its traditional language, Secwepemctsin. TTS language co-ordinator Ted Gottfriedson said the band has created a language department, with new positions created specifically to work at revitalizing and preserving the language. “We’re having some movement happening within our buildings,” Gottfriedson said. “Once that clears up, we can go all out — hire people and have this thing move forward.” A limited number of people know Secwepemctsin and Gottfriedson said about 25 people are currently learning. The other initiative in the planning stages is to make Secwepemctsin the official language of the band. That will require everyone in the band office to be able to introduce themselves in the language. Additionally, bilingual salutations will be included in all band emails. The band’s official swearing-in of council is already done in Secwepemctsin. The initiative would not force employees of businesses on the reserve to speak the language. Gottfriedson said the initiative, which is expected through a band council resolution, will help to further promote the language. “We need to bring it [Secwepemctsin] back into places where traditionally it hasn’t been,” he said.

council, explaining it had about 2,000 supporters locally in a global effort to lobby the federal government to include clean air, water and healthy food as human rights in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Council voted 6-3 to refer a decision to support the campaign back to the committee. Voting in favour were Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Sadie Hunter, Mike O’Reilly, Kathy Sinclair, Dieter Dudy and Bill Sarai. Opposed were councillors Dale Bass, Arjun Singh and Denis Walsh. Singh pushed council to support a modified version of the declaration, which would be largely aspirational in order to show support to the local campaign. He said the rights are not exclusive of economic interests. “This is us joining a larger movement to sort of say we’re part of some-

thing that’s bigger than ourselves,” Singh said. Christian, however, expressed concern about mixed messages. He noted the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion approval that same day — which David Suzuki opposed — and suggested instead of approving parts of the declaration, the sustainability committee analyze the information. Sarai said the city is already doing a number of things outlined in the campaign. “I’m just sort of confused why we’ve got to endorse something that we’re all elected to do,” he said. The matter will go to the city’s sustainability committee next week. The committee already discussed the issue at its last meeting, when it decided to invite the group to council to appear as a delegation for more information.

Singh wants city to aim for 1.5 C A city councillor wants the city to align itself with global standards to limit greenhouse gas emissions and set out a series of actions to do so. Arjun Singh presented a notice of motion on Tuesday setting out a strategic goal aligning with global efforts to maintain a 1.5 C temperature increase. That number was set out in the Paris Agreement. Singh told KTW the initiative would send a clear signal to the community that council is working toward a globally recognized goal. The notice of motion, to be on the June 25 council agenda, also mandates that staff create a series of actions that would help the city achieve that target. “The climate’s not going to be very forgiving if we don’t meet those goals,” Singh said, noting the city has not met past climate action goals. He called the issue of climate change a challenge, but said it is top of mind for residents and stressed the need for continued community dialogue. Should that 1.5 C target be set, Singh said council would then have to work to meet the goal through resourcing and monitoring. He favours a clear strategy over initiatives that pop up more sporadically, such as when someone goes to a climate conference or otherwise.

Four graduate students at Thompson Rivers University will share in scholarships valued at $60,000. They are the first at TRU to receive support through the BC Graduate Scholarship Fund, a new program announced by the provincial government last year, with funds administered by universities. The merit-based awards, valued at $15,000 each, are research-focused, with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Three of the award recipients — Joseph Chisholm, Robline Forsythe and Claudine Pageau — are in the master of science in environmental science program, while the fourth, Shannon Mendt, is in the master of education program. “These scholarships are an invaluable support to graduate students who are taking research and innovative thinking to higher levels. That opens the door to all kinds of potential in terms of discoveries and leadership,” TRU president and vice-chancellor Brett Fairbairn said. “Provincial recognition and financial support for TRU’s growing graduate programming is both timely and highly appreciated,” said Will GarrettPetts, TRU’s associate vice-president of research and graduate studies. Recipient Medt said it is a great honour to have her hard work and dedication for research recognized. “The financial support this award provides will allow me to fully focus on my research in a way that would not otherwise be possible,” she said. Recipient Forsythe said the award has allowed her to zero in on her thesis research during the last two semesters. “I am grateful for this freedom. It has afforded me the opportunity to meaningfully engage in other campus research projects, significantly contributing to a more immersive graduate student experience,” she said. Recipient Pageau added: “Receiving the BC Graduate Scholarship is a huge honour. It shows that my research is important and matters. A scholarship like this one also has a big impact in my life since it helps me to pay for my tuition fees and relieves me from financial stress so I can concentrate full time on my masters.” TRU offers six graduate degree programs, with approximately 500 students enrolled. The new scholarships are part of $12-million announced last year by the provincial government to support 800 awards of $15,000 each through 2021. TRU is one of 10 post-secondary institutions benefiting from the scholarship fund, receiving a total allotment of $180,000 to support graduate students.

Similarly to when philanthropist and businessman Ron Fawcett appeared before council in January to share his vision for resurrecting plans for a performingarts centre, council chambers were packed on Tuesday as elected representatives heard from the group for the first time. Ron Fawcett told council he and wife Rae continue to be dedicated to supporting this project, with hopes of the arts centre opening in the fall of 2023 if all goes well. His 80th birthday is coming up, he joked, and he’d like to be at the centre’s opening. “That’s if everything goes well,” he said. He stressed the project is a personal one, not business related, and underlined the need in light of recent Sagebrush Theatre problems, which has left the facility shuttered due to roof truss problems and

Kamloops council on Tuesday heard from a new society that has formed to promote the Kamloops Centre for the Arts, a $70-million idea for the downtown core. The group of volunteers represents a crosssection of the community, from tourism to arts and industry. It includes: Tyson Andrykew (Sandman Signature Kamloops Hotel), Brenda Aynsley (United Way), Barbara Berger (City of Kamloops), Dennis Clare (Domtar), Fiona Chan (Business Development Bank of Canada), Margaret Chrumka (Kamloops Art Gallery), Alisa Coquet (RIH Foundation), Paul Dagg (Interior Health), Kathy Humphreys (Kamloops Symphony Orchestra), James MacDonald (Western Canada Theatre), Marilyn McLean and Daniela

arts groups who rely on the building scrambling for performance space in churches and other buildings. Fawcett said if approved this fall, further design work could take another 18 months, followed by construction. The proposed arts centre would rise on the city-owned parking lot, downtown at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue. As part of his pitch, Fawcett has purchased an adjacent property — worth between $8 million and $10 million — for use as offices and storage space for the arts centre. Aynsley, longtime executive director for the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo who took a leadership opportunity in Vancouver, said as a resident of Kamloops for nearly four decades, the community needs a PAC. She attended the Fawcett’s pitch in January and said there was a buzz in the community.

“I sense that Kamloops is on the cusp of so many great things,” Aynsley said. The society will work with arts groups and the community to advance the project, with six tasks identified: developing a new business case, communications strategy, enlisting community support through a membership drive, provide input into design of the project, land application approval and fundraising. Asked if taxpayers will be off the hook financially, she could not say. “We just know that for a project this size, there always be a need to fundraise,” Aynsley said. “That’s one of the things I do bring, is fundraising experience. “ Coun. Arjun Singh, tressed the importance of looking to reduce public subsidy. Mayor Ken Christian said he has received feedback from the community, running about two-to-one in favour of

the idea so far. He encouraged the

group to get moving on memberships, so that

the community may buy into the idea.

Brock students’ sights are set for maiden voyage of dugout canoe MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

lex Kozak has never undertaken a school project anything like the one he has painstakingly laboured on this year. The 13-year-old is one of 19 Brocklehurst middle school students who will have a unique experience this Friday as the fruits of their labour over the school year is set to launch on Little Shuswap Lake. The Grade 8 traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) class of 19 students has been carving a Cottonwood tree into a dugout canoe with Secwépemc carver Frank Marchand, in an effort to learn the traditional skill. Teacher Brenda Celesta said the project is one of a kind in School District 73 and meant to tie in the history of local First Nations with a large hands-on project. Between October and April, students carved out the log, using only hand tools. It is now fully formed and ready for the maiden voyage. “At the beginning of the year, it stared as just a log and now it’s a canoe and we’re floating it,” Kozak said, noting it was a lot of hard work. “To see that get launched, it’s really an honour — to have seen what they did hundreds of years ago to travel from

place to place,” he said. Launching from Quaaout Lodge beach on Friday, students will take turns operating the threeperson canoe, for which they also made their own ores.

Celesta found that the students were interested in the hands-on work and appreciated learning outside the traditional classroom model. “They’re super excited to have this canoe launch

The Law Society of British Columbia seeks lawyers and members of the public who are not lawyers to serve on its hearing panels. The Law Society regulates the legal profession in the public interest by ensuring that the people of BC are served by lawyers who meet high standards of learning, competence and professional conduct. Law Society hearing panels hear cases related to allegations of discipline violations and incompetence by lawyers. Panels also conduct hearings on the character and fitness of applicants for enrolment in the admission program and for call and admission as new lawyers. Review boards hear appeals from hearing panel decisions. For details and to submit an application, visit www.lawsociety.bc.ca (“News”), or contact tribunals@lsbc.org.

because of all the hard work they’ve done,” she said. “They have put all of their energy into this project.” On days the class wasn’t carving with Marchand and learning from his lifetime of experience, they were studying Canadian and local Indigenous history.

They also learned about local plants that served as food and medicines to the Secwepemc and how science is using them today. The students also wrote Haikus and learned about the history of the dugout canoe. Cottonwood canoes were part of the Secwépemc traditional culture and also used by Voyageurs and early settlers in the territory. The students have named the canoe Two Bears, which will be put on display at the school beginning in the fall. Celesta said the class is a mix of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students and, while there has been cross-cultural learning, the project has also helped awakened Indigenous students’ awareness of their culture. As a Secwépemc woman, Celesta said she loves how the curriculum has evolved over her 17-year career to enable a project like this one. “We can mark our place in terms of the importance of our history, the importance of our knowledge,” she said. In a press release, Mike Bowden, district principal of Aboriginal Education, said “not only are students learning in an authentic way and engaging in all content areas, they are also building the capacity to take action in a project that is meaningful to them and their future skills.” The school is hoping to secure three more logs for canoe projects during the next school year.

Sunday drive going electric at TRU JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

An electric vehicle show at Thompson Rivers University this Sunday aims to educate residents about the benefits of plugging in before hitting the road. The free event in the Campus Activity Centre’s Grand Hall, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., is being hosted by the BC Sustainable Energy Association and TRU’s sustainability office. Cheryl Kabloona, chair of the local chapter of the BC Sustainable Energy Association, said electric vehicles require less maintenance than gaspowered cars and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, she said, government rebate programs are making the vehicles more affordable. “We’re trying to show people that it’s possible to live in a low carbon way,” she said. Kabloona said cost of the technology is decreasing, with an entry-level electric vehicle listed now at about $30,000. Additionally, federal and provincial government rebates of $5,000 each decrease that price tag, as does a “turn in your junker car” program that is worth another $6,000. Sunday’s event will include several speakers who will discuss electric vehicles. The day will include firsthand experience from electric vehicle owners, discussions on how to operate them and information on rebates and dealerships selling the vehicles. Electric vehicles will be on hand, including the Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, Teslas, the Hyundai Ioniq and BMW i3. To attend Sunday’s electric vehicle show at TRU, register online at eventbrite.ca.

WORLD NEWS & GLOBAL VIEWS

Conservative Leader Scheer unveils climate plan MIA RABSON

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said his climate plan will be “Canada’s best chance’’ to hit its targets under the Paris Agreement and that it can happen without a carbon tax. Scheer outlined his climate policy in the backyard of a private home in rural Chelsea, Que., on Wednesday, not far from where flooding linked to climate change hit for the second time in three years this spring. Flies and mosquitoes swarmed and a handful of protesters gathered on the gravel road in front of the property. “Conservatives fundamentally believe that you cannot tax your way to a cleaner environment,’’ Scheer said. “Instead, the answer lies in technology.’’ The environment, and climate change in particular, are garnering the most atten-

tion ever heading into a federal campaign as Canadians in all parts of the country are dealing with more frequent forest fires, droughts, floods and storms. The Conservative plan does not specify how much any of its 55 elements would cut emissions and suggests Canada’s path to meeting the targets would include using Canadian products to reduce emissions in other countries. “Greenhouse-gas emissions do not recognize borders,’’ Scheer said. “Nor are the impacts of climate change proportional to any one country’s emissions. Whether emissions are reduced in Canada or in China, the scientific impact on global climate change is the exact same.’’ His platform, dubbed A Real Plan to Protect Our Environment, looks at introducing a capital cost allowance for industries that show they are reducing emissions in other countries. Scheer specifically mentioned using

Canadian liquefied natural gas to replace coal as a source of electricity and exporting more Canadian aluminum, which he said is made with fewer emissions than aluminum in other countries. Canada’s commitment under the Paris Agreement is to cut emissions to 70 per cent of what they were in 2005 before 2030. Canada needs to get to 513-million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year to hit that target. In 2017, the most recent year for which statistics have been compiled, Canada’s emissions were 716-million tonnes. There is an allowance in the Paris accord for “co-operative mechanisms,’’ which allow for reductions in one country to be counted toward the targets of another country as long as both countries agree. The rules for that allowance have not yet been set and the intention was for it to be used for countries to strengthen their targets beyond the original Paris commitments.

The targets in the Paris accord are not legally binding, however, so there is no monetary penalty if Canada misses them. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod backed her leader’s plan. “I’m proud of our Conservative plan because it will put Canada where we need to be,” she said. “It will balance the need to fight climate change by lowering global emissions with our core promise of leaving more money in Canadians’ pockets and helping them get ahead.” Canada’s existing climate plan under the Liberal government leaves the country about 80-million tonnes shy of its Paris targets in 2030. The national price on carbon, set at $20 a tonne this year, rising to $50 a tonne by 2022, will reduce emissions between 50-million and 60-million tonnes a year, an Environment Canada analysis says. If elected, Scheer said he will scrap the carbon tax.

Conservative MP Warawa dies of pancreatic cancer Conservative MP Mark Warawa has died after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year. The 69-year-old politician represented the riding of Langley-Aldergrove. He was an Abbotsford councillor before entering federal politics. Warawa’s family issued a statement on his Facebook page with a final message to constituents, saying it was an incredible honour to serve his community since being elected in 2004. Warawa was a devout Christian and his family said his

“new address is in heaven. Mark hopes that one day he will see you in heaven, too.” Warawa died “peacefully with his loving wife by his side’’ at Langley Hospice, his office said in a separate statement, adding it was deeply saddened to announce his death “after a brief, but valiant, battle with cancer.’’ The House of Commons suspended its morning schedule on Thursday. A framed photograph and white flowers sat on Warawa’s desk. In April, Warawa announced his diagnosis. In May, he

made an emotional farewell to the House of Commons, urging parliamentarians “to love one another, to encourage each other, because God loves us.’’ He also used the speech to speak about the need to improve palliative care. Statistics show between 70 and 84 per cent of Canadians have no access to specialized health care at the end of life, Warawa said, adding the number is “tragic.’’ Warawa had been married to his wife Diane for 46 years and had five children and 10 grandchildren. — Canadian Press

The passing of Egypt’s Morsi was a death foretold

gypt’s first and last democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi, died this past Monday, lying on the floor of the courtroom, where the state was trying him on yet more charges. He was already serving several life sentences. It was probably a heart attack, but according to witnesses, authorities left him lying there for 20 minutes before medical help arrived. Morsi was only 67, but he was not in good health. He had both diabetes and liver disease, but was not getting proper treatment for those illnesses: a British parliamentary group that investigated his situation at his family’s request last year concluded that without urgent medical assistance, the damage to his health could be “permanent and possibly terminal.” Well, it was. Morsi was held in solitary confinement for six years and saw his family just three times. His living conditions were such that the United Nations Human rights office has called for a “prompt, impartial, thorough and transparent investigation” into his death. Fair enough, but he is only one

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH of thousands of Egyptians who have been murdered or tortured by the military regime that overthrew him in 2013. Morsi was not a very good president. He was a narrow, stubborn man who governed solely in the interests of his own Muslim Brotherhood party and its Islamic priorities. He behaved like this even though he had barely scraped into the presidency with the votes of many who, though secular in their views and values, feared that otherwise the candidate of the old regime would win. They fully shared Morsi’s desire to uproot the secular deep state that had ruled Egypt through three military dictators and six decades, but they had not signed

up for an Islamist constitution instead. So they started demonstrating against Morsi and, only a year after he was elected, they cheered when the military stepped in and overthrew him, like so many turkeys voting for Christmas. Morsi and his party behaved badly, the secular pro-democracy activists were no wiser and they have both paid a high price in blood and misery for their mistakes. Is there any particular reason to highlight the fact and manner of Morsi’s passing? Yes, because it creates an opportunity to consider what might have happened if he had not been overthrown. Morsi would probably still be alive because he would have been getting good medical care, but he would no longer be in power. His four-year presidential term would have expired in 2016 and he would not have won a second term. Whoever won the first election after long-ruling dictator Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in 2011 was winning a poisoned chalice, for the Egyptian economy was already on the rocks when the protests began. In fact, that’s why they started — and the long period of protest-

ing and politicking that followed meant nobody even started thinking about the economy again until early 2013. The whole of Morsi’s first presidential term, had he served it out, would have been spent struggling to pull the economy out of the ditch. In the course of that, he would have had to impose all sorts of austerity measures that would have hurt the people who were his core voters — the pious poor. And half of them wouldn’t have voted for him next time. The whole tragedy of 2013, which ended up with Gen. Abdel El-Sisi’s snipers killing more than 1,000 unarmed protesters in Rabaa and Nahda Squares in Cairo and wounding at least 4,000 others — a massacre perhaps as bad as Tiananmen Square — was completely unnecessary. People more experienced with democracy would have known that Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood rule would both be rejected in the 2016 elections. All they had to do was wait it out and let the voters sort it out next time. That’s what Americans who deplore Donald Trump are doing right now, but they have more than two centuries of democratic government under their belt.

Being only human, the voters may choose to make the same mistake again, of course. If they do, there will be another chance to fix things the next time around. As long as the decisions are not completely irrevocable, they can eventually be reversed — and you get to keep your democracy. If Morsi had not been overthrown, Egypt — the largest Arab country, with one-third of the world’s Arabic-speaking people — would still be a democracy. Other Arab countries like Algeria and Sudan, where they are trying to make democracy happen today, would have a powerful supporter in Egypt, not a sworn enemy. Syria would probably still have suffered a civil war, and so might Yemen, but the ultra-conservative monarchies of the Gulf would no longer dominate the Arab world with their money. Nobody can question the courage of the young men and women who overthrew the Egyptian dictatorship in 2011, but they were too ready to dispense with democracy at the first sign of trouble.

Big city band based on small town experience Brothers making good on music dream SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

om van Deursen grew up jumping around the basement of his home in Meadow Creek, a sparsely populated community at the northern tip of Kootenay Lake, deep in the B.C. Interior. He was imitating his musical idols — Ben Kowalewicz, Mick Jagger, Jack White — for stage performances he would begin doing 10 years later. Van Deursen started playing guitar at age 11 and his brother and fellow bandmate Derek, nine at the time, began playing drums. The two made for a “fuzzy rock duo of pre-teens” along the lines of Jack White or the Black Keys, according to van Deursen. Their first performances were to 60 to 70 people in the gym of their high school in Kaslo, a small town in its own right, an hour-long school bus ride away. The band has since grown far beyond those gym walls, based on the two brothers’ dreams of starting an anthemic rock band inspired by who the two grew up listening to, bands like Billy Talent, Supertramp and Alexisonfire, among others. Van Deursen graduated and moved away first, leaving to Vancouver and eventually playing guitar as part of The Boom Booms,

an East Van rock band. Once his brother joined him and The Boom Booms slowed down some, the two started taking Small Town Artillery more seriously, adding bandmates Carson Webber, Mike Kayser and Nathan Barrett — and occasionally more, up to eight members, including a horn section. A key part of Small Town Artillery’s success thus far has been its live shows. Van Deursen recalled that when he was 17, his uncle gave him some advice, saying a band first has to find its groove and then work on its stage performance. “No way, man,” van Deursen remembers saying to his uncle, insisting the opposite was true. “He said, ‘No, you’re wrong.’ And I was wrong. But approaching shows where it’s energy first, music second — we did that for years, and the shows were crappy, but we made up for it by being very exuberant,” he said. Now, van Deursen said the band is stocked with seasoned players and although “the groove has really landed,” there is still a mentality that performance comes first, making for shows high in both energy and quality. That energy is backed by van Deursen’s small-town philosophy and his experience going from Kaslo, population 968, to Vancouver.

THERE’S TROUBLE IN RIVERTOWN Rivertown/A29

Small Town Artillery will play a show at The Blue Grotto on Thursday, June 27.

“In a small town, you’ve got a butcher, a baker and a candlestick maker — or really, loggers and hippies, who are against logging — and because they live in such a small environment and have to see each other every day, they are encouraged to get along and treat each other with honesty, empathy and understanding,” he said. “Whereas in the city, I think with the anonymity of living in a place

with millions of people, you can behave differently, because likely you will never see the same person again.” Van Deursen said even though he now lives in Vancouver, his own life philosophy remains rooted in his Meadow Creek upbringing. “You have to ask yourself what role you can play, how you can be empathetic and listen. That’s the artillery of a small town, and it

totally permeates our personalities, and I think our music, too,” he said. Small Town Artillery will perform at The Blue Grotto, 319 Victoria St., on Thursday, June 27. They will be joined by two bands van Deursen heartily endorsed: Wooden Horsemen, out of Vancouver, and Kamloops band Thunderchild. Tickets are $10 in advance, available online at ticketor.com/thebluegrotto, or $15 at the door.

YouTuber will tackle Reubin’s biggest sandwich CHRISTOPHER FOULDS EDITOR editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

n eight years, more than 150 people have opened their mouths to the challenge. In all that time, only four brave and hungry souls have succeeded. This Sunday, a world-famous professional eater will exercise his mandibles as he attempts to become just the fifth patron to enter Reubin’s Diner in North Kamloops and finish the famous and intimidating Reubinator sandwich. The man of the hour is Randy Santel, the self-proclaimed “record holder of worldwide food challenge wins.” Santel is expected to be at Reubin’s Diner, 204 Tranquille Rd., between 3 p.m.. and 6 p.m., with his camera crew in tow as he films the challenge for his immensely popular YouTube channel, which has more than 760,000 followers. Santel’s channel features videos of him criss-crossing the world as he tackles various food challenges — generally trying to eat a massive amount of food within an allotted time. Succeed and he eats for free and becomes a legend in the eatery; fail and he is out of pocket. The Reubinator is perhaps Kamloops’ most intimidating sand-

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Reubin’s Diner owner Mike Ward will welcome YouTuber Randy Santel on Sunday to take on The Reubinator, a meaty 8.5-pound behemoth of a sandwich.

wich creation. It weighs more than many newborns, registering 8.5 pounds on the scale, 7.5 pounds of which are various types of meat. Its full ingredients: ham, pastrami bacon, pulled pork, pork tenderloin, fried eggs, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, tomato, pickles and mayonnaise between two hefty slabs of medium rye bread. If Santel can eat the sandwich within an hour, he gets a free meal, his name added to the Wall of Fame and a chance to create an epony-

mous menu item. If Santel fails, he will be $47 poorer. After watching videos of Santel scarfing down massive meals around the globe, Reubin’s Diner owner Mike Ward is quite confident Santel will be adding his name to the diner’s Wall of Fame. “This guy is going to destroy that sandwich,” Ward said. “But it should be interesting. We want people to come and have some fun with this.” Santel’s most recent triumph

occurred on May 29, when he took on the Mission Impossible Challenge at Chicago’s Safehouse restaurant. The challenge was to finish 15 burger patties layered with cheese, two pounds of cheese curds and a 51-ounce mug of beer within one hour. It had never been done until Santel sat down and devoured it all in less than 27 minutes. It was Santel’s 600th food challenge victory. The last diner to finish the Reubinator was pilot Eric Fraser,

who wandered into Reubin’s from Kamloops Airport on May 4 to challenge the sandwich. He succeeded and set a record, polishing off the meal in 23 minutes. Reubin’s also has a challenge specifically aimed at female diners. The $37 Sarah Connor is a sandwich housing 4.5 pounds of meat. Five diners have tried to eat it within an hour and all five have failed. Ward’s advice for those attempting to defeat the Reubinator? “Wear stretchy pants.”

Rivertown Players season cut in half by funding shortfall SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

ach year, the Rivertown Players take to Kamloops parks to perform theatre shows for kids, but this year, a funding shortfall means a shorter season for the three-student crew. The Kamloops Arts Council, which runs the program, said a “significant cut” means the

players will only be performing through July. “The funding from the Canada Summer Job grants has been scaled back and unfortunately, this year it’s such a drastic cut that we were only able to employ the three students for eight weeks,” KAC executive director Terri Hadwin said. In the past, the program has employed three students for four

months of work, with two months of show preparations, where students produce the shows and make props and sets, and two months of performances. Hadwin, still new to her KAC executive position, said she hopes next year she will be able to seek out alternative sources of funding to keep the program running at its former capacity. But the show must go on, and

the students are making the best of it. Des Geddes, a returning performer on the Rivertown team — the only one, this year — will be joined by newcomers and fellow Thompson Rivers University theatre students Jane Harestad and Brendan Law. Geddes has found herself in somewhat of a leadership role this year, being the veteran, and

said she and the crew have found a balance between her guiding their way and them bringing their own ideas to the table. This year, shows include tales of wizards, superheroes and knights. “It’s all very mystical and exciting,” she said. A complete schedule of performances is due out early next week.

Salmon barbecue to accompany Hot Nite If ribs aren’t your thing, maybe try the salmon. The Thompson River Salmon BBQ Festival and Competition is coming to downtown Kamloops alongside Hot Nite in the City, which will run this year from Aug. 9 to Aug. 11. On Saturday, Aug. 10, the parking lot of the Plaza Hotel just off Victoria Street will become a salmon barbecue cook-off venue. Five or six contestants will compete in two categories for prizes and a people’s choice award will also be given out.

For a small fee, event organizers said spectators will get a chance to taste a variety of barbecued salmon samples to pick a favourite. The event is based on the Great Fraser River Salmon BBQ, which takes place annually in Hope. Details are still being finalized for the event, but competitor spots are still available and chefs and restaurant owners are encouraged to apply, and to do so, should contact organizer Ron Johnson at ron@hotlicks.ca.

HOLMES IS WHERE THE There are some things in life that you just can’t replace with new ones. For me, one of those items is a ball glove. I had the same one for many years. The older it got, the better it performed. (I wish I could say that about my knees.) My ball glove was so old that the name and phone number I had written on it had worn off, so the day I lost it, I knew I would never slide my hand into that comfortable mitt again. I bought a new glove, which was stiff, cold and unfamiliar. I discovered interesting ways one can break in a ball glove. Some people rub oil all over the glove, then place the ball directly in the pocket and wrap string tightly around the mitt to hold it in place for a few days. Others take a mallet, lay the glove down and give it a good solid beating, which sounds a bit extreme. One thing I learned about breaking in the glove was that it takes patience. When I went on the cattle drive many years ago, I listened to a man talk about how he had broken in his horse. Some treats and encouragement seemed to

do the trick and, within three weeks, the horse was ready to ride. I know running shoes don’t take as long to break in, but I certainly know better than going to Runners Sole, buying brand new runners and doing a marathon the very next day. Some things take time — including meeting new people. My new glove felt so strange for a while. If I missed a ball, I certainly wasn’t going to toss the glove aside and get a different one for the next game, thinking that one would perform better. I have to remind myself it’s a new glove and to give it some time. Some men and women who have been widowed or divorced after being with

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

INSIDE VOICE

the same person for many, many years tend to compare the new potential match to their previous partner. Of course you are always going to remember the familiar partner with whom you spent so much time, but you need to be patient and focus on getting to know this new partner, as they may have some amazing attributes that your former spouse didn’t. For those of you who want to wear a different glove for every game, the chances of finding the right one may pass you by if you don’t have the patience to give one glove a chance. My suggestion is to not discount someone so quickly in the first inning, as they might be the one who not only takes you through a double-header, but is there for a lifetime supply of peanuts and Cracker Jack. If you aren’t sure about your first match, try some oil and string, but leave the mallet alone. If you are happy and single and looking to get to first base, contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis. ca and we will see if we can get you a home run.

arts&entertainment When it comes to DIY, just do it A

few weeks back I came home with a nice stack of pre-loved vinyl and decided it was time to finally set up our record player. We’ve been in our house for nearly four years, working on renovations and fresh paint, while smaller tasks continued to find themselves relegated to the bottom of the to-do list. When you can connect wirelessly to a bluetooth speaker and access any song with a tap on your cellphone screen, setting up a stereo system never really reaches priority status, until you find Bread’s Guitar Man on vinyl and want to give it a listen. As I was chaotically stripping a piece of speaker wire, impatiently wanting the system set up right now, I realized I had no idea what I was doing. I’d never stripped wire before and it had been years since I’d last set everything up. Needing a little guidance, I grabbed my phone and watched a two-minute video on YouTube. I still struggled, if I’m honest, but I muddled through and now I can throw on a record whenever the mood hits. What I took away from this is the impatient part of me in the process. I’ve never been particularly good at waiting and if I had a motto it would be “get it done.” I feel better when I’m doing something, making progress and checking things off my to-do list. Yet so often when I’m working in the shop I overhear ladies

CALLI DUNCAN Maker

MOVEMENT say they’re waiting on a partner, friend, or spouse to put something up at home. “I need my husband to install those shelves before I buy more plants…” I’ve been there and I’ve had enough of waiting, so I’m making an effort to tackle more new DIY projects outside my comfort zone. As for putting up shelves, after a couple mishaps I’m now the proud owner of a stud finder and level which have really improved my shelf-hanging game. One of the most fascinating things about living in this era of technology is the amount of information we have at our fingertips. Whatever you want to learn — from how to prune rose bushes to how to make chimichurri (or how to strip a speaker wire) — the directions are online. In the past week alone I’ve looked up all these things and

more, and while some are easier to master on the first try than others (chimichurri turned out great), trying new things always feels good. Summer is a great time to try something you’ve never done before or acquire a new skill. Whether you just want to get creative in your spare time or get some major projects tackled around the house, I guarantee you’ll feel empowered after, and likely extremely frustrated right before that. Myself, I’m planning to tackle a few new projects this summer that I’ve never done before, including painting the exterior of our house, replacing my dining room light fixture (with guidance this first time) and testing as many recipes from Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat as I can. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to wade into the shallow end of DIY, or are growing impatient waiting for something to be done around the house, let this be your call to action. Start small, do your research, don’t be afraid to ask questions or ask for help if you hit a snag and keep safety in mind. If you find yourself out and about, pop into the shop and let us know what you’re up to. We love chatting about DIY, seeing your progress, and cheering you on. You’ve got this.

Faith on Fire

une 9 was Pentecost Sunday, the one day of the year on which Christians celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit. The word pentecost means “fiftieth,” representing the 50 days after Easter. It is always celebrated on the seventh Sunday after Easter Sunday. Jesus assured his disciples that he would send “a helper” to be with them after he physically left them. The Greek word used is “paraclete,” meaning “one who comes alongside.” He says, “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counsellor to be with you forever — the Spirit of truth … But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything that I have said to you.” This last phrase is what Christians believe is evidence the Holy Spirit inspired the Gospel writers to write all we read in the New Testament — for all scripture is Godbreathed, an inspiration of the Holy Spirit. In the Christian faith, the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. It is an unfathomable mystery how God can be three, yet still be one. But are not all things possible for God? That is what faith is — to believe what God said, even if we don’t completely understand how it can be so. One explanation made sense for me. We know the sun, the fiery star that is at the centre of our solar system, is 93 million miles away physically. That glowing orb is like God the Father — distant, yet very real. We see the sun virtually every day, rising in the east, setting in the west. It seems close, close enough to touch if we reach out our hands. That is like Jesus, God the Son. It is the visible evidence of that

You Gotta Have

FAITH

distant star. And, if we look to the sun, we feel its warmth and enjoy its light, even with our eyes closed. That is like God the Spirit. If our own father goes on a trip, we know he is far away. But if he takes the time to Skype us, we can see his face and hear his voice, comforting us and guiding us if we need counsel. The Holy Spirit is like that, as the very breath of God. Jesus said, “When the Counsellor comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment … he will guide you into all truth.” The role of the Holy Spirit, therefore, is absolutely critical in God’s plan for everyone’s salvation. Indeed, Jesus says in his Great Commission, his final instructions to his disciples, “Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” When a person makes the choice to accept Christ as their personal Saviour and then follows through in baptism, these are the words used to identify them as a Christ-follower. The Holy Spirit is distinctive entity, yet an integral part of the very nature of God. The Holy Spirit is evident all through scripture, from the very first paragraph of Genesis. We read, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. Now the Earth was formless and empty, darkness

was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirt of God was hovering over the waters.” The Holy Spirit was actively involved in the creation of everything. All of the prophets of God were given their messages through the Holy Spirit. It is how they spoke prophecies of things to come and knew things impossible for them to know through visions and dreams. The Book of Isaiah, for example, is a collection of visions inspired by the Holy Spirit. As Jesus promised, the Holy Spirit arrived on Pentecost. The account is found in the Bible, in the second chapter of the Book of Acts: “When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.” This phenomena, speaking in tongues (glossolalia) was significant because these uneducated Galileans were declaring the words of God in the native languages of the many foreign Jews and converts who were gathered in Jerusalem for the Festival of Weeks. This day was the day that Christianity began its spread around the known world. Frankly, Pentecost should be as important as Christmas because, without it, and the flame of the Holy Spirit, there would be no Christianity. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

Behind the scenes of London’s grandest stages CHRIS MCBEATH

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

f discovering the secrets and superstitions of some of London’s grandest stages is a mouthwatering temptation, then the West End is where it’s at. There’s a ghost or two in London’s oldest, continuously running theatre — Theatre Royal in Drury Lane. Actor Charles Macken still nudges actors to recall forgotten lines, and watch for the man in grey — Row D, Royal Circle. But should you miss them, there’s still plenty to fuel the imagination. When Charles II established Theatre Royal on Drury Lane (1660s), it marked the end to the Puritan era during which “sinful” theatre was banned as a way of retaining church attendance. The theatre quickly became a leader of its day. It was the first to introduce safety curtains against an interior lit by thousands of candles; ironically the first burned down. It allowed women to play female roles — and the reverse. Dan Leno invented the role of Panto Dame at Drury Lane. Unfortunately, he was incontinent so would douse his costume with oil of lavender, the scent of which still wafts across the stage on occasion, in ghostly fashion. Among the many unique features are two royal entrances and two royal boxes, thus preventing King George III and his wayward son, the Prince of Wales, from feuding in public. Most intriguing, though, are the underground tunnels. One led to the pub where Nel Gwyn (Charles II’s mistress) plied her trade, while the other went down to the docks. Sailors would travel it to work for extra money as backstage

crew, to “fly the flats” and “hoist the rigging” — nautical terms that are still used in theatre today. And please, never whistle in a theatre. Since sailors communicated to one another by whistling across the ship’s deck, they naturally used it to cue scenery changes. A wayward whistle could well prompt ghosts of former crews to drop a stage weight unexpectedly. Or so goes the superstition. Lavishly elegant in style, story and history, the Royal Opera House is one the busiest performance spaces in London. Home to the Royal Opera and Royal Ballet that run side-byside productions year round, this backstage tour reveals an understated appreciation for the two most strenuous disciplines in the performing arts. To accommodate this symbiotic relationship, the stage

250-374-0831

250 Lansdowne Street 800-667-9552 BC Reg #178

wellsgraytours.com

is changed no less than four times in any 24-hour period. Complete sets and floors are exchanged within minutes enabling each discipline to rehearse and/or perform a repertoire of two ballets and two operas every day. Colour-coded corridors help navigate the maze of working areas spread over three acres in and around Covent Garden — blue for stage, red for production, yellow for music and so on. Head for the fourth floor and you’ll be watching dancers practising their arabesques — a special privilege. Every turn in this tour reveals another curiosity such as the mirrors in Queen Victoria’s Royal Box positioned to reflect the performance to the Ladies in Waiting who sat facing the Queen, not the stage. Ticket tip? Because the auditorium is not carpeted, the

sound in the sky-high seats is better than in the stalls. Built in 1904 to be the biggest, brashest, most talked about playhouse in London, London Coliseum doesn’t disappoint. Originally larger than Drury Lane (which originally held 4,000 patrons on six levels), this Romanesque-styled building was set to impress from its exterior façade (look for loin clothed young men carved into the cornices), and its revolving dome, to an interior of mosaic tile floors and ceilings. At one time, there was even an aquarium in the middle and running the height of the stairwell. As for the variety shows themselves, it seems that imagination was the only limit. Nowhere else could you see a derby with live horses racing against a rotating stage, or

a real cricket match between Middlesex and Surrey to bring a bit of summer to the winter. The tour includes all manner of colourful anecdotes about the building’s many incarnations, including with its current occupant, the English National Opera. Unlike the Royal Opera House nearby, the Coliseum’s space is so excruciatingly tight that sets are broken down, sometimes nightly, and stored in trucks parked behind the theatre. Hottest tip? If a show is sold out, try for one of the side boxes. Their proximity to the stage and orchestra is unparalleled and more than make up for the partially restricted views.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Head coach Shaun Clouston (left), general manager Matt Bardsley and associate coach Darryl Sydor spoke to media inside the Kamloops Blazers’ dressing room on Wednesday.

Blazers get it right with coaching stable

o, the part-owner of a WHL team applies to be the head coach of his own squad, but doesn’t get the gig. Darryl Sydor instead accepts the associate coach position to flank Shaun Clouston, the wily veteran who becomes the zillionth head coach since the Tom Gaglardi ownership group bought the Kamloops Blazers prior to the 2007-2008 campaign. Scenarios in which this goes wrong are possible to envision, but I doubt it will fail. They got it right this time. Sydor cares for the players, the organization and his family, the latter now united at home in Kamloops. The former NHL great’s time will come. Meanwhile, there are worse places to be than working in your own backyard, surrounded by those closest, while learning from the winningest head coach in Medicine Hat Tigers’ history.

MARTY HASTINGS

The Tattle of

HASTINGS

The two-time Stanley Cup champion and former NHL assistant coach will also have plenty to offer to Clouston, who, in Blazers’ terminology, recently retired from his positions as head coach and GM of the Tigers. The new man in charge was a breath of fresh air at a press conference on Wednesday inside the Blazers’ dressing room, speaking candidly about his

abrupt exodus from the place he called home for 16 seasons. Clouston likened his firing to a punch in the gut. The pain was still lingering on his face. I’m guessing his first instinct was to answer with a haymaker, but as he explained, he learned from poorly handling a similar situation with the Tri-City Americans in 2002-2003 and is opting to turn the page graciously. Revenge will be up for grabs in early November when GM/ head coach Willie Desjardins and the Tigers come to town. Clouston said, at this point, he feels that clash will just be another game on the schedule. It won’t be. GM Matt Bardsley was recently hired last June when the Blazers announced Serge Lajoie would be head coach. My belief is Bardsley had more autonomy in the hiring process this time around. Clouston is his guy.

Clashing personalities could wreck the partnership and nothing but time will prove how well Clouston and Sydor get along, but it’s clear they want the same thing — to develop young hockey players and win games. They’re committed to making that happen. Together. Well-functioning dressing rooms often feature an assistant coach who plays the good cop, someone players can spill to or joke with when the bad-cop head coach is wielding his nightstick. In Sydor’s often icy stare I don’t exactly see Paul Blart Mall Cop, but I don’t yet know him well enough to pass judgment on his personality behind closed doors and I’m told there is more Starsky and Hutch to his Law and Order than revealed in that glare. Plus, there’s Chris Murray, the Blazers’ part-time assistant coach who can play that role perfectly. He’s good police.

And Colin (Toledo) Robinson, whose contract extension was announced on Thursday, is chief of that department. The Blazers have had eight head coaches (Guy Charron twice), three of whom were fired mid-season and replaced by an interim bench boss, since the Gaglardi group took over. Once Clouston debuts, 10 coaches, including interims, have will have run the bench in 13 seasons. The 51-year-old Viking, Alta., product and his family are moving to the Tournament Capital, where Clouston’s wife plans to finish her nursing degree. Clouston said he can see his clan being here for seven or eight years. Sydor might have to go elsewhere if things go that well. But the future is not the focus, for now. Task No. 1 is forging relationships with each other and the players. Training camp begins in two months.

Learning through losing can be a necessary, arduous and, at times, deflating process. The Kamloops RiverDogs entered the 2019 B.C. Baseball College Prep League campaign knowing their inexperienced and often outmatched club would take lumps, but morale remains intact. “We had a tough start to the season with our schedule, playing the top two teams right away, but we played some good games in there and now we’re coming to a more weaker part of our schedule and finishing .500 is still a possibility if we put a good win streak together,” first-year RiverDogs’ head coach Mark Orr said. The Dogs — about half of whom are in their first year of midget AAA ball, with three returnees from 2018 — have one month remaining in the regular season, time they would like to use to improve their

the Richmond Chuckers. The RiverDogs and Chuckers are scheduled to play twice on Saturday, with game times set for 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., and twice on Sunday, at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

League standings: Cloverdale Nationals (24-5), Chilliwack Cougars (21-5), Kelowna Sun Devils (1612), Ridge Meadows Royals (16-15), Tri Cities Thunder (11-12), Richmond (1115), Kamloops (8-18) and

expansion team still looking for its first victory. “That gets kids excited and they know that playoffs is the only thing that matters at this point, as long as we’re peaking at the right time,” Orr said. Round 1 of the postseason will feature four best-of-three series — 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5 — with winners advancing to a final-four tournament. “If we could move into fifth or sixth, we could make the final four on August long weekend,” Orr said. Running into Cloverdale or Chilliwack in the first round would likely mean a quick exit for the Dogs, who have been ousted in Round 1 each year since the College Prep League was established in 2016. “It’s gone pretty much as I expected,” Orr said. “It’s been kind of up and down. We put some good games together, then we turn around and put some notso-good games together. “It definitely shows our age, but there are good things to come.”

Arlene was born in Vancouver, BC on October 24, 1944 to Ken and Elva Maynard. She was a very loving and compassionate person. One of her biggest concerns was that her children were happy. She lived at Lejune Manor for a number of years and made many dear friends. For the first few years at Lejune Manor she composed the monthly newsletter which was published in the Senior Connector. The past four and a half years she lived at Pine Grove Care Centre where she was very happy and enjoyed her large family. Her family would like to give special thanks to Kathy and Keith Boughton, Dr. Howie and the nurses, care aides and staff at Pine Grove Care Centre for their compassionate care. She will forever be missed and loved.

A loving heart, a beautiful spirit….. these are the things that last forever.

Neil was predeceased by his son Brian, brothers Pete, Johnny, Abe, Julius, Bill, George and sister Ann.

Forever on our minds and always missed!

In his career Neil was a heavy duty mechanic. He was a member of Summit Drive Baptist Church. He was an amazing grandpa, loving husband and father.

Barbe’s first home was Darfield and she went from the Interior to the Coast, finally settling in the Prairies. From BC Forestry to the Bank of Montreal, she worked almost every job imaginable; collecting knowledge, stories and friends at every turn.

Tim Cook offers a history of working in funeral service as a funeral director and embalmer for over 24 years. Tim’s favourite past times includes spending time with family and friends along with fishing and time at the lake. Tim was born in Saskatchewan and has spent the last 48 years in Kamloops, which has allowed him to develop a large network of friends and a great sense of community.

Patricia (Patti) Ann McDougall (Lowe)

August 16, 1959 – June 17, 2019 (forever 59)

It is with unbelievable sadness we announce the passing of Patti McDougall. Patti is survived by her children Mel (Chris), Edwyn and Phil (Janie) and husband Ron, grandchildren Dryden and Wesley, mother Diana and mother-in-law Dot, brothers Bill and Barry, her sister and brother-in-law Therese and Brian (Lucile) and her nieces and nephews Jeremy, Corinne, Emily and Nicolas as well as her ex sister-in-law Jackie Berkey and nieces Erin and Leah.

Patti was born in Princeton, moved to Texada, Ashcroft, Prince Rupert, Maple Ridge, Salmon Arm and finally Kamloops. It was in Salmon Arm she found her calling (and passion) working with the special needs, she especially was proud working with a deaf/blind client (Tim) and helped open his world (and ours). Patti was always a fierce champion of the underdog and because she had a story, she knew many of those people less fortunate had a story too. She had the biggest heart of anyone I knew. She enjoyed camping with her lifelong friends and her beautiful backyard and greenhouse. Her biggest pride and passion were her children Mel, Edwyn and Phil, she got the most pride and happiness being a mom.

The Angel on Your Shoulder

BY JACKIE HUSTON LENA, WISCONSIN

There’s an angel on your shoulder

Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow

Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears,

Standing faithfully by your side.

In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right.

In lieu of flowers, please do something nice for someone less fortunate (without casting judgment). Celebration of Life will be held at Cottonwood Manor, 730 Cottonwood Drive, Kamloops, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm on Saturday, July 13, 2019. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

And keeps you in her care.

She will be missed…

Today, Tomorrow and Always

Q. Do you take fingerprints?

The family would like to extend a huge thank you to Dr. Chahal for all her great care and support.

She died peacefully at home surrounded by friends and family.

For your thoughtfulness and everything you’ve done to make our life together such a happy loving one.

Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Ed had a great passion for fishing, hunting and gardening. He enjoyed going to Blazer games and was a longtime season ticket holder, but the greatest joy he had was seeing his grandchildren playing hockey, soccer, lacrosse and cheering them on all the while calling out the referees. Ed also really enjoyed his coffee time with “the boys” at A&W.

Patti was predeceased by her brother Bobby, brother-in-law Ian and her father-in-law Jack.

I Love You

Drake Smith, MSW

Ed was born in Kamloops on December 26, 1930 and lived his entire life here. He was a longtime employee at PBD for 46 years. He truly loved his job and made many friends along the way that really made an impact on him.
