A LIBERAL EMBRACE IN KAMLOOPS

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau gives local candidate Terry Lake a hug during a brief visit to Lake’s downtown campaign office on Thursday afternoon. Trudeau’s campaign plane landed in Kamloops as it flew between Victoria and Edmonton on the first full day of the 2019 election campaign. Trudeau was greeted by a cheering crowd of people waving campaign signs. In a short speech to the crowd, Trudeau criticized the Conservatives, framing the election as a choice between maintaining the positive policies of his government versus going back to a Stephen Harper approach to governing.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

The Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo NDP riding association is again looking for a flag bearer after the second candidate stepped down on Wednesday, the day the election campaign officially began.

Riding president Bill Sundhu said Dock Currie, a second-year law student at TRU, was asked by the federal party to step down as candidate due to controversial social media posts from a few years ago.

Currie was announced as the party’s candidate only last week and was filling the void left by Gina Myhill-Jones, the 100 Mile House resident who was acclaimed as NDP candidate this past spring, but who quit in August due to a death in the family.

Glen Sanford, B.C. director of the NDPs federal campaign, described Currie’s comments as not suitable for a candidate in this election.

The comments in question were directed towards “two pro-pipeline activists” two years ago, Currie wrote in a statement, which can be

read online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

He went on to write that his remarks were “flippant and aggressive” and he understands “how they would be a needless distraction to the party and national campaign.”

While he said he regrets and apologizes for the comments, Currie added he disagrees “with both the content and process” that went into the party’s decision asking him to step down.

Currie did not return repeated calls to KTW, but he did email Star Vancouver with comments.

Energy journalist Markham Hislop told Star Vancouver that he and another journalist, Max Fawcett, were engaged with Currie in an online debate about pipelines when Currie allegedly threatened Fawcett with physical violence.

Asked why an apology and/or retraction from Currie did not suffice, Sanford would only say the comments were “problematic.”

“There was some content there that was problematic and that’s the decision that we came to,” Sanford told KTW, adding he will not go in to details regarding the content of the comments.

He said Currie met with the NDP’s federal

director, Melissa Bruno, who spoke with Currie on Monday and asked him to resign.

Sanford said the local riding association did not ask Currie to step down.

Currie was acclaimed as the NDP’s candidate on Sept. 4.

Sanford said the comments came to light after the vetting process had occurred.

He said he does not know how they were brought to the party’s attention, but noted the comments were made “on private channels we weren’t aware of.”

Sanford said the NDP still plans to run a candidate in the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo and believes it will be someone who is a local.

Candidates have until Oct. 1 to file nomination papers to run in the federal election, according to Elections Canada. Voters go to the polls on Oct. 21.

Running for MP in Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo are Kira Cheeseborough (Animal Protection Party), Iain Currie (Green) Ken Finlayson (People’s Party), Peter Kerek (Communist), Terry Lake (Liberal) and Cathy McLeod (Conservative).

Film society, United Way fail in bid for tax breaks JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Film Society (KFS) will face added financial pressure next year without a property tax exemption from city hall, despite the city having plenty of room in its funding cap to approve the request.

“It puts pressure on the rest of our operations,” executive director Dusan Magdolen told KTW. “Hopefully, it won’t be the straw that broke the camel’s back. It puts more pressure on getting attendance and on us getting sponsorships.”

On Tuesday, staff recommended the society be denied a permissive tax exemption — an exemption from property taxes granted to non-profits, hospitals, independent schools and places of worship — because it missed the May 31 application deadline and potentially competes with the Cineplex Odeon in Aberdeen.

Magdolen was at council to defend the society’s application, explaining it missed the deadline because it only took over operation of the downtown Paramount Theatre in May. The theatre is not in direct competition with the Cineplex, Magdolen argued, noting it offers different programming and screens movies passed on by the larger theatre.

The Paramount’s property taxes in 2019 were more than $15,000.

“With trying to make this a viable venture. This is a huge amount of money for us as a society, in trying to keep the Paramount Theatre running,” Magdolen told council.

Council voted 6-1 against staff’s recommendation to deny the KFS the exemption, with Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Sadie Hunter, Dale Bass, Kathy Sinclair, Dieter Dudy and Bill Sarai voting against.

Citing the application deadline, Mike O’Reilly voted in favour of

staff’s rejection recommendation.

Coun. Denis Walsh declared a conflict of interest and Coun.

Arjun Singh was absent, due to Union of BC Municipalities matters.

Staff clarified to council after the vote, however, that the KFS was not then automatically exempt from paying property taxes. In addition to voting against staff’s rejection recommendation, council needed to approve a tax exemption for the film society by way of a motion. However, no motion was presented.

City corporate services director Kathy Humphrey said council’s vote and lack of motion ended with the same result as staff’s rejection recommendation — with the KFS paying property taxes in 2020.

“Basically, they [council] didn’t consider their application and, therefore, it was not approved,” Humphrey said. “They didn’t approve it. Permissive tax exemptions need approval.”

Sinclair spoke out “on principle” against staff’s recommendation.

Asked why she did not then introduce a notice of motion to give the film society the tax break, Sinclair separated the two decisions, citing the need for review in the future, but telling KTW she didn’t feel it was fair to give an exemption to KFS after it missed the application deadline. She said she understands both the city and non-profit perspectives, having worked as executive director for the Kamloops Arts Council.

“No. 1 is the missed deadline,” Sinclair said.

Bass said as a newcomer to council, she thought voting against staff’s rejection recommendation meant the KFS would receive the tax exemption.

However, when asked if she would have made a motion had she known otherwise, Bass would not go that far, also citing deadlines.

Instead, O’Reilly suggested reviewing council’s policy at the

committee level, a motion unanimously supported by council.

The city had plenty of room to approve the request, under its funding cap. The city’s cap for non-profit property tax exemptions is $701,800 for 2020.

Currently approved for next year: $460,652.

Magdolen said the property taxes were included in the society’s $500,000 budget, but noted the budget is an estimate. With a slower summer and lower revenues than budgeted, the society is now hoping its expansion of offering this fall will make up the difference.

Earlier this year, the Kelson Group purchased the Paramount Theatre, at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue, from Landmark Cinemas.

Kelson is leasing the theatre to the KFS, with the lease agreement stating the film society is responsible for paying property taxes.

Asked if council could still make a notice of motion to provide a tax exemption to KFS, the city’s corporate officer said she is unsure.

“We’d have to look at the timelines because bylaws need to be in place by Oct. 31 and there needs to be a gap of at least one meeting between them,” Maria Mazzotta said, noting two weeks without council meetings in October.

“Conceivably, someone could introduce a notice of motion and, if it were to pass, we may or may not have time to prepare the necessary bylaws for consideration.”

Meanwhile, the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo was also denied a property tax exemption, as it is in the process of moving into a new space.

Some of its new space in The Station building on Tranquille Road in North Kamloops will be used or revenue-generating purposes.

Brocklehurst’s Generation Victory Centre Ministries was also denied an exemption as it is not deemed statutorily exempt by BC Assessment.

After two years out of political arena, Lake felt an obligation to answer call MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

erry Lake said he felt an obligation to return to the political arena only two years after leaving the game.

The former Kamloops mayor and erstwhile B.C. Liberal MLA didn’t initially feel that way.

He said he was enjoying retirement from politics when the federal Liberals came looking for him to be the party’s 2019 flag-bearer in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo.

The party sensed the local riding could be won by the Grits following the momentum of the 2015 campaign that fell short of a win, but yielded the most votes the party has ever received in the constituency.

Lake said he was at first reluctant to re-enter politics, but was convinced to do so after discussions with friends and colleagues.

Confident the Liberals will again form government, Lake said he felt the party needed someone

with his experience and name recognition to win in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo.

“I felt like I owed it to the country,” Lake said. “It sounds kind of corny, but I really felt a responsibility not to squander that and to put it to good use so we could have a Liberal MP in our riding.”

As a member of government, Lake said, he could bring more benefits to the region than could an opposition MP, noting his positive relationships with members of the government and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself.

Lake pointed to his time in municipal and provincial politics as evidence he can be part of a team that brings projects to the region, noting expansions at Royal Inland Hospital, Thompson Rivers University and NorKam senior secondary as examples.

Born in England, Lake came to Canada when he was 10.

“The sense of pride in this country has never left me,” he said.

He has called Kamloops home since 1997, when he accepted a teaching position in the animal health

program at what was then the University College of the Cariboo, moving his family from the Lower Mainland, where he had a veterinary practice.

Two years later, he ran for city council, placing ninth.

“That was my only — so far, touch wood — election loss,” Lake said.

In 2002, Lake was elected to council and, in 2005, became mayor of Kamloops.

He set his sights on provincial politics in 2009 and was elected as the B.C. Liberal MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson.

Lake was appointed minister of environment during that term. Following his re-election in 2013, he became health minister.

Choosing to retire from provincial politics ahead of the 2017 election, Lake took a job as vice-president of corporate social responsibility and communications for the Quebec-based cannabis company Hexo Corp., from which he is on leave during the campaign.

If elected MP, Lake said he would focus on the opioid crisis and B.C.’s forestry industry challenges.

Direct to Smelter – Precious Metals Recycling Roadshow returns to Kamloops Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin returns to Kamloops September 18th and 19th. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Brock Activity Centre between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. No appointment is required.

Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin.

“Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter” said Dick.

Barry Dick “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as the general public.” In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices appear low but the weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong.

Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver, coins and paper money while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are graded and set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewellery and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification. Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not.

“If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it is also about information” says Dick. “A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark of what things are worth; we don’t pressure anyone into selling.” Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984.

“Nearly half of the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold. Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce. That prevents a lot of diesel from being burned.” Gold and silver purchased at the show and later melted goes back into the market without incurring that environmental cost.

YEARS AFTER DEATH, TERRY FOX ENDURES

T

erry Fox remains incredibly inspirational.

At 19 years of age, Fox, an athletic young man from Port Coquitlam, lost his right leg to cancer, but not his dreams of running.

Rather than be defeated by what must have seemed a supremely unfair twist of fate, Fox turned his misfortune into the will to fight. Just two years after losing his leg, he started training for what he dubbed his Marathon of Hope, a planned run across Canada to raise money for and awareness of cancer research.

It’s hard to believe today, but the Marathon of Hope started with little fanfare on April 12, 1980, when Fox dipped the artificial leg he would run on into the Atlantic Ocean in St. John’s.

Fox ran through five eastern provinces in a matter of months before hitting Ontario — and the headlines. By then, people had started to become aware of this incredibly brave young man’s dream. Children and adults alike following his trek as he strove to fight his disease not just for himself, but all of those who have come after him.

Today, there is likely not a person in Canada who has not seen footage of Fox’s run, his lopsided gait taking him steadily down lonely stretches of Canadian highway. It is iconic, a part of who we are as a country and a people. Fox was, after all, one of the best of us.

Fox’s cancer forced him to stop running in Thunder Bay in September 1980. On June 28, 1981, Fox died one month short of his 23rd birthday, but not before he saw his dream take off with the establishment of a fundraising run and a telethon that raised $10 million.

Though his legacy has become larger than life, Fox and his story remains at the heart of it all. We’d argue that’s why it remains so meaningful, to this day. It started with the dream and determination, and most importantly, the heart of one man.

This year’s Terry Fox Run will take place on Sunday in Riverside Park.

Registration is at 9 a.m., with the run following at 10 a.m. All the information is online at terryfox.org.

Only a tiny Stonehenge needed to complete farce

I

t’s official — the local NDP is the Spinal Tap of political parties in this year’s federal election.

After a phenomenal campaign in 2015, during which candidate Bill Sundhu attracted more than 21,000 votes to finish second to Conservative Cathy McLeod, the Orange Wave has become the Orange Cave as it loses candidates as often as Spinal Tap lost drummers in the music mockumentary.

Sadly for the New Democrats, turning their effort up to 11 won’t help avert the election day disaster that awaits.

With the federal party still nowhere close to finding candidates for all 338 ridings and with polling showing the party a distant third — neck and neck with the Greens — at best, the situation locally has been as desperate.

Initial candidate Gina MyhillJones of 100 Mile House stepped down in early August due to a death in her family.

This week, her successor, Dock Currie, a second-year law student at TRU, was asked by the national party to step down due to past social media posts, one that allegedly included Currie expressing a desire to break the jaw of an energy journalist/pipeline proponent he had been debating.

This exchange took place about two years ago, but there have been many other candidates in elections past whose political aspirations were torpedoed by social media posts of far older vintage

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS — some with seriously disturbing material, others with comparatively benign content.

I would submit that if every candidate for every level of political office had his or her online history reviewed thoroughly, city halls, legislatures and Parliament would be empty of councillors, MLAs and mayors.

But that is the society in which we live, where even the most innocuous comment or online posting will offend an increasingly sensitive populace that often fights intolerance with its own intolerance for any views that contradict its own.

Meanwhile, Jagmeet Singh of the NDP remains the lone leader of a major political party to not yet visit Kamloops.

Strategically, it makes sense, given this riding does not have a New Democrat candidate and the leader might be better served campaigning in constituencies where victory is a possibility.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has been here three times already, while Kamloops has also been graced by the presence of Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, Green Leader Elizabeth May and People’s Party Leader Maxime Bernier.

On Thursday, Trudeau swung through Kamloops as he travelled between Victoria and Edmonton on the first full day of campaigning.

Unlike in Victoria — where he made an announcement pertaining to first-time homeowners — Trudeau’s stop in Kamloops consisted of him rallying the troops at candidate Terry Lake’s downtown office.

There were plenty of red Team Trudeau/Team Lake signs, plenty of cheering and plenty of sloganeering from the party leader, arguing Canada needs to go forward, not back to the Stephen Harper years.

(Since the writ dropped on Wednesday, one would be forgiven for thinking Harper has returned to lead the Conservatives. Trudeau constantly refers to the former prime minister and cannot seem to remember the name of the other guy, what’s-his-name, the current leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, that fella from Saskatchewan.)

The Election 43 (that’s #elxn43 for those in the Twitterverse) campaign is underway and the next 38 days should be fascinating. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

FILM SOCIETY STANDS BY UNPLANNED DECISION Editor: Re: The letter from Martha Solomon in the Sept. 11 edition of KTW, objecting to the Kamloops Film Society’s decision to screen the film Unplanned at the Paramount Theatre on Sept. 27, Sept. 28 and Sept. 29 (‘Screening film is a bad plan’): In April, the Kamloops Film Society was given the unique opportunity to operate the Paramount Theatre.

Rather than rent space from the former owners — Landmark Canada — for the Thursday film series and annual March Film Festival, the society was able to expand its own programming.

The Kamloops Film Society will screen Unplanned over three nights at the end of the month. Controversy has followed the film wherever it has been screened in North America.

At the same time, the film society was committed to providing a downtown venue for community use.

Since we re-opened the theatre in June, we have shown

society-sponsored films, but also have rented out the facilities to such groups as the Kamloops Brain Injury Association, local filmmaker Russell Walton for the screening of Peaks and Valleys:

The Search for Ryan Shtuka and the Kamloops Komedy Festival.

The society board is committed to meeting community needs beyond the interests of our loyal patrons and is continuing to offer the theatre as a venue for private rentals.

Despite knowing Unplanned is a controversial film and, in the view of many, may be disturbing and hurtful to some — if not most — in our community, the society’s board of directors approved the rental.

Unlike a situation in which hate speech and other illegal activity is involved, which would bar groups from renting the facility, in our view, controversial

material should not be excluded.

We do not feel we should act as censors or judges of individual rights.

In its own programming over the more than 40 years of our existence, the society itself has screened a number of controversial films, some of which I am sure may have disturbed some in our community.

Many others have celebrated diversity and served to empower women, trans and non-binary fellow citizens.

My fellow board members and I stand by our decision.

Tom Friedman chair Kamloops Film Society

AN EXAMPLE OF TYPICAL INTOLERANCE OF THE SO-CALLED TOLERANT Editor: Re: The letter from Martha Solomon in the Sept. 11 edition of KTW (‘Screening film is a bad plan’): It is tragic to continue to see people who voice a defence for the right of people to choose, yet their solution to this is to take away people’s right to choose.

As campaign begins, political pledges follow The 43rd federal election campaign officially began on Wednesday, marking the start of a 41-day battle that will culminate on Oct. 21, when voters go to the polls.

As the writ dropped, the promises from various parties began.

In North York, Ont., Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said his party would make maternity benefits tax-free, a move he said would save parents $4,000 on average.

He said families of all income levels and anyone that pays into employment insurance will be eligible for this new benefit.

“It’s young people — starting their careers and starting their families — who pay the most tax and are hit hardest by government tax increases,” Scheer said.

In Brampton, Ont., NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said his party would expand health care coverage so Medicare — the national, publicly funded health-care system — would also cover dental, eye and mental-health care.

#elxn43 – Oct. 21

Federal Election “When we make the investments in health services like Pharmacare, people can stay healthy and save the system money,” Singh said. “No one should have to be in a $1,500 a day hospital bed because they couldn’t afford a $5 pill.”

In Victoria, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau announced a plan to address the housing sector.

He said a Liberal government would fully implement the first-time home buyer incentive, which provides Canadians

with up to 10 per cent off the purchase price of their first home.

The program would be expanded to the greater Vancouver, Victoria and Toronto regions by allowing homes valued at up to $789,000.

“Many young Canadians dream of owning their first home.,” Trudeau said. “But with rising prices and not enough homes to meet the demand, it’s getting harder and harder to make that dream a reality,” In addition, Trudeau said his party would introduce a national speculation and vacancy tax for non-resident, nonCanadians.

Earlier this month, the Green party said it would address student debt by fully forgiving existing student debt and eliminating tuition fees at universities, colleges and trade schools.

“Everyone should have equal access to post-secondary education and the opportunities it provides regardless of their means,” local Green candidate Iain Currie said.

In all of Canada, there is only one riding in which candidates can spend more during the 41-day election campaign than those in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo.

In the local riding, candidates can spend $139,551, well above the average of about $111,000 for all of the country’s ridings and second-highest in the country behind another B.C. riding, Kootenay-Columbia.

Why can local candidates throw so much cash around? It mostly comes down to population and geography.

First, Elections Canada uses a preliminary list of electors to determine the voting population of a riding. If that number is lower than the national average, the limit is increased.

With 95,347 electors, the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo

riding exceeds the national average per riding of about 75,000.

Next, the riding’s geography is considered.

If the number of electors per square kilometre is less than 10, the limit is increased.

The Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding is 37,758 square kilometres, according to Statistics Canada, which means that with its 95,347 electors, there are approximately 2.5 electors per square kilometre.

Comparatively, according to figures from the 2015 federal election, the nearby riding of Kelowna-Lake Country has 52 electors per square kilometre, the least dense Nunavut riding has 0.008 electors per square kilometre and the most dense Toronto Centre riding has 11,058 electors per square kilometre.

The final adjustment is later made on the day the election is called — in this case, Sept. 11 — when the figure is adjusted for inflation.

Candidates are not notified of the final election expenses limit until one week before election day.

The limit might be higher, but cannot be lower than the preliminary limit set prior to the start of the election.

Political parties, meanwhile, can spend $105,687 in this riding.

Elections Canada said parties that have endorsed a candidate in a riding can spend $0.735 per elector, then multiplied by the inflation adjustment factor.

Party spending limits in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo are the 16th-highest in Canada. Parties can spend the most in Edmonton-Wetaskiwin ($124,695) and the least in Labrador ($21,015).

Elections Canada periodically updates spending amounts.

The figures used in this article are the latest, current to June 4, 2019, and based on a preliminary list of electors.

Lake refutes NDP’s claims With the federal election campaign in full swing, the federal NDP called out local candidate Terry Lake on his time as B.C. health minister as Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau paid a visit to Lake’s downtown campaign office on Thursday afternoon.

The NDP accused Lake of being an advocate of private health care under the Gordon Campbell government because the B.C. Liberal government of the day allowed private clinics to operate in Vancouver.

Following Trudeau’s visit to his office, Lake described the NDP’s claim as “nonsense,” noting Royal Inland Hospital’s expansion — the $85-million clinical services building and the $417-million patient-care tower now under construction — were funded thanks with public money.

We believe in a public health-care system,” Lake said of the federal Liberals.

“Of course, there’s a role — always has been — for private providers, but it’s paid for publicly, And money is never a barrier for people to access health care in Canada,” Lake said.

In the release, the NDP claimed there was an expansion of private health care in B.C. under former B.C. Liberal premiers Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark.

“In fact, under the B.C. Liberals, British Columbia was fined by the federal government for 16 consecutive years for refusing to stop private clinics from charging patients for medically necessary care,” the NDP release stated.

“While Lake was health minister in 20152016, British Columbians paid $16 million to the federal government.”

Since 2017, the Butterfly Room at Royal Inland Hospital has been providing safe space and support for people who have been abused.

But it recently emerged from its cocoon and spread its wings, thanks to the work of local groups who have made the space even more welcoming with a colourful butterfly mural, a splash of butterfly decals and a traditional Secwepemc greeting.

The recent work done to the room was a result of a partnership between Interior Health/ Royal Inland Hospital emergency department, the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre (KSACC) and Big Bear Child and Youth Advocacy Centre.

“It’s just everybody coming together, recognizing that there was a gap and working hard to fill it for, ultimately, our patients,” said Tracy Scott of Interior Health and Big Bear Child and Youth Advocacy Centre vice-president.

The Butterfly Room is a space where medical and forensic exams can be done in privacy, away from the chaos of the rest of the hospital.

Victims can also request the presence of a volunteer from the sexual assault response team, a service provided by the KSACC, who will stay with them through the exam process and provide information on follow-up procedures and justice-related services.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Recent work done in the Butterfly Room was a a result of a partnership between Interior Health/Royal Inland Hospital emergency department, the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre (KSACC) and Big Bear Child and Youth Advocacy Centre.

“The moments after an assault, the hours and days after an assault, can be really traumatic for folks,” said Alix Dolson, co-ordinator for the sexual assault response team.

“We’re really glad to be able to provide people with that emotional support piece and be able to sit with them through this and provide them with ongoing services if they need them.”

There are about 20 volunteers involved in the sexual assault response team program, but the organization is always looking for more.

Since the room is used for victims as young as 13, it was important to create a space that was welcoming and warm.

Tara Ettinger, co-ordinator of the Big Bear Child and Youth Advocacy Centre, said a student

from the Thompson Rivers University visual-arts program was hired.

“We just asked her if she could create a painting for this room that represented hope, healing, a healing journey and just brightness,” Ettinger said.

“And so she came up with that concept of the butterflies leaving the light and everything’s aglow.”

The butterfly imagery is significant beyond simply creating a colourful backdrop for the room.

Butterfly is also a signal used in Interior Health to note a need for sensitivity.

Big Bear Child and Youth Advocacy Centre also recently donated video-conferencing equipment to the child maltreatment clinic to allow for more regional communication.

Mundi building 99-room hotel JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops hotelier is expanding and renovating in Aberdeen to capitalize on conferences.

Ron Mundi, owner of more than a dozen hotels from Kamloops to Edmonton, will construct a $17-million, five-storey Four Points

by Sheraton adjacent to the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, which he owns at 1250 Rogers Way. “Many times, when I have a conference coming, I don’t have enough room,” Mundi told KTW. “So that reason made our mind. Our land size is a seven-acre property. I have extra land on the north side in front of On the Rocks Pub. I thought: new hotel, more upscale and a different unique idea.”

The hotel will be built on land currently used for overflow parking and will include 99 rooms, a 75-seat restaurant, underground parking and executive suites on the top floor geared at high-end clientele.

A rendering shows what the new Four Points by Sheraton hotel next to the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre may look like once it is completed in the spring of 2021.

A development permit was approved by city council on Tuesday and Mundi said he hopes to break ground in March of 2020 and open the hotel in March of 2021.

Mundi purchased the property, formerly the Kamloops Towne Lodge, in 2011 and invested $9 million into the facility.

Meeting space was the focus, he said, with the hotel hosting conferences and eventually needing more space — both for attendees to

stay and to host.

In addition to constructing the new hotel — which Mundi said will still not provide enough room for some of the larger conferences — Mundi is opening theatre space in the Coast up to meetings and conferences. He said the theatre was empty most of the time and there was a shortage of meeting space Mundi anticipates the total value of the property to be in the $50-million range upon completion.

HOLMES IS WHERE THE One thing we all have in common is that we arrived on this Earth with parents.

Perhaps you were raised by the parents from whom you were conceived. Maybe you were adopted and raised by loving parents who became your mom and dad. You may have been raised by a single parent who later married someone who became your stepparent and brought you half-siblings.

All families have unique circumstances. Some of these situations are more challenging than others. Bringing a new partner into the mix can add stress on everyone.

I have some clients who know they do not want to meet someone who has young children as they feel they have been there and done that. Others are accepting of kids who are older and a bit more independent. I think a lot depends on how amicable the situation is between the two people.

One issue many people haven’t considered is getting involved with someone who has parents.

That may sound odd, but so many people focus on children and not many folks consider the status of potential mates with moms and dads.

I have met with many people who have aging parents and not all of them age the same. My mom is 81 and strong, healthy, vibrant

and completely independent.

That could change one day.

Without meaning to sound morbid, that will change some day.

My husband and I have been together for 10 years and we are both in our second relationships.

When we first got together, I was more concerned with combining our 11- and 12-year-old sons and wasn’t even thinking about dealing with aging parents.

I have met with clients in their 70s who have parents in their 90s.

Of course they are involved in their lives, some of them regularly.

If they live on their own, they will need that much more attention and this is something that comes with having a family. It would be my hope that a partner would not only be understanding of this, but also involved and supportive along the way.

ONE OR TWO FOUR POINTS? Asked about the existing Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, which is located just down Rogers Way from Mundi’s property, he said the Sheraton on his property will be the only one operating when the new hotel opens in 2021.

Whether that means a rebrand or closure remains unclear.

KTW reached out to the Four Points by Sheraton and is awaiting a return call.

Quiet wildfire season in B.C. nears an end The 2019 wildfire season has been tame in comparison to the past two summers.

Of note is that, this year, campfires were permitted throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre, with no bans implemented.

According to the BC Wildfire Service, there have been 782 fires this year, with 21,154 hectares burned.

There were nine wildfires of note, eight evacuation alerts and two evacuation orders.

Total cost this year has been $121 million.

In 2018, there were 2,117 fires that burned 1.3-million hectares.

Total cost was $615 million. There were 66 evacuation orders.

Of those 2,117 fires, 25 per cent were humancaused (including trains) and 70 per cent were lightning caused. Five per cent of the fires do not have an affixed cause.

The 10-year average, from 2008 through 2017, is 1,666 fires, with 43 per cent being human caused and 57 per cent being caused by lightning.

Recent years that are similar to the relatively quiet fire season of 2019 include 2016 and 2011.

In 2016 — a year in which there was no campfire ban issued in the Kamloops Fire Centre — there were 1,050 fires covering 100,000 hectares, with a final firefighting bill of $129 million.

In 2011 — another year without a campfire ban —there were 653 fires spanning 12,600 hectares and carrying a firefighting bill of $53.5 million.

IS Explore the dark side

The window of time in one’s life when there is minimal responsibility is limited. Chances are slim of getting into a new relationship that has no issues at all with children, teenagers or parents. If you meet that person you don’t want to live without, that could mean combining, dogs and kids and facing crises together.

You may have to support each other through the loss of a pet, through dealing with a troubled teen or while putting an aging parent into an assisted-living home.

But guess what? That’s life. If you want to meet a life partner, you need to face life’s challenges together. It can be a scary concept to be vulnerable and open your heart up to new love. You can certainly be facing some hard times together and that’s the risk.

Is it worth it? Yes. My husband and I combined a dachshund and a border collie and my two kids with his one child. Our families are along for the ride. We just have to put our seatbelts on and prepare for the bumps in the road.

If you are single and happy and want to meet someone who most likely has parents, contact me by email at holmes@ wheretheheartis.ca and get ready to embrace all the ups and downs life has to offer — together.

Online ‘threat’ leads police to Sa-Hali student A Sa-Hali secondary student who posted a message on the social media app Snapchat, threatening her school, received a visit from Kamloops Mounties this week.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said police were notified on Tuesday that a student

from the school had posted the threat. “ Through investigation, the female student was identified,” Shelkie said. “Officers made contact with the student and her parents at her home, where she admitted to posting the message. The student had not realized

that, what she thought was an innocent play on words, could be deemed as an actual threat.”

Shelkie said police determined the social media post was not a credible threat.

“The male then returned to the house.”

Mounties from Chase and Salmon Arm responded, along with the South East District Emergency Response Team. The suspect, however, fled before police arrived and the gun was not found.

Mounties say they are familiar with the residence.

Kennedy said the house is unoccupied, owned by someone who lives out of town.

He said police are working with BC Community Corrections because some people have been giving their probation officer the house address, unbeknownst to the homeowner.

“We have descriptions of the suspects and, through association of previous files we’ve had at the house, we have a fairly good idea who they are, so now we’re attempting to locate them,” Kennedy said.

The Chase RCMP Detachment is asking that anyone with any information regarding the fire investigation, or any other crime, call the detachment at 250-679-3221.

No one was found at the property, according to an RCMP press release.

Scotch Creek and Celista Fire departments were training in the area and quickly responded to douse the flames and save the structure.

Examination of the fire determined it was purposely set and police are now investigating to determine who may have set the fire.

The home is on the same property where a group of residents visited last Saturday, believing it to be connected with a rash of recent thefts in the area that have occurred in the past month, according to police.

“The RCMP does not condone vigilantism and would recommend the public to leave investigations to the police,”Cpl. Scott Linklater stated in the release.

Chase RCMP Sgt. Barry Kennedy said the group went to the house to confront the occupants and a loud noise, sounding like a gunshot, could be heard from within the home as a man yelled at the group to leave.

Hunter wants better accessibility COUNCILLOR HIGHLIGHTED ACCESSIBILITY AS A PRIORITY IN 2018 ELECTION CAMPAIGN JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor is following through on a campaign promise to make the city more accessible.

Sadie Hunter presented a notice of motion on Tuesday, which will be debated at next week’s council meeting, seeking options and/or business cases for accessibility projects to be included in the 2020 five-year financial plan.

“I’m just looking to make sure there is an intentional allocation of funding,” Hunter told

reporters in council chambers.

Though the city recently increased its active transportation budget, Hunter noted it did not result in an increase in accessibility and inclusivity projects.

She said at the city’s current pace, it could take 25 to 30 years to see bus pads and curb letdowns throughout the city.

“What I’m asking staff for is to come back with some recommendations and business cases for some specific projects, with funding allocation so it is done,” Hunter said.

Asked where the

money will come from, she said that is part of what she will ask staff to investigate.

Hunter highlighted accessibility as a priority during her 2018 municipal election campaign, prior to being elected as a first-term councillor.

“If you have never experienced barriers to mobility or accessing a building, you might not think of it,” she said.

“I don’t think it’s a neglect or anything like that.

“I think there needs to be a voice there, saying ‘What about these things?’ Let’s include these things intentionally, as we move forward.”

Residents’ petition leads to stairway removal JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city will remove a controversial staircase downtown at a cost of $11,000, following a decision on Tuesday by Kamloops council.

The staircase, which connects West Seymour Street and McIntosh Street behind The Mustard Seed, has drawn the ire of residents, who submitted a petition to city hall calling for its removal.

Last year, the city’s bylaws department received 48 calls linked to transients, health and safety, graffiti and alcohol connected to that location.

In additon, there have been calls to police for unwanted persons, loitering and drug use.

More than 100 people signed

the petition.

Council voted 8-0 to remove the staircase. Coun. Arjun Singh was absent, due to duties as president of the Union of BC Municipalities.

Coun. Mike O’Reilly said he struggled with the decision because the city puts money into active transportation. However, he sided with residents.

“Something needs to be done in that area,” O’Reilly said.

The staircase will be removed as part of the West Victoria Street reconstruction project.

Had the city waited until that project was completed, costs of the staircase-removal project would have jumped to $18,000. In addition, the area will be landscaped to prevent loitering.

Adopt a kitten this weekend Petsmart is holding two kitten adoption events this weekend at its store in Aberdeen Village, at 30-1395 Hillside Dr. The events will be held on Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The kittens are all checked by vets,

spayed or neutered, vaccinated and tattooed.

Charlie, a kitten who had the broken hip, will be there. He is all healed up and looking to find a home.

There will also be a rare male calico kitten up for adoption.

Correction In the Sept. 11 edition of KTW, an education story (‘More teachers to be hired at elementary schools’) incorrectly identified the name of a

school receiving a new teacher.

The school is in fact Beattie elementary and not Kamloops School of the Arts.

School District 73 will consider alternative locations for Twin Rivers Education Centre (TREC) students who are being moved from George Hilliard elementary to accommodate Parkcrest elementary students displaced by a fire that levelled their school last week.

On Monday, the Kamloops-Thompson school board unanimously endorsed moving Parkcrest students to George Hilliard, relocating TREC students to a wing at NorKam secondary and sending Four Directions secondary to the United Way’s Tranquille Road location in the interim, while district staff explore placing both alternative programs at the former Happyvale elementary, which is now home to the Big Little Science Centre and two day cares.

The school district initially planned to house TREC fir up to three years at NorKam while Parkcrest elementary is rebuilt, but will now assess placing some students elsewhere on an individual basis after parents raised concerns regarding their children attending a traditional high school setting with which they had previously had issues. “In many cases, these students have some mental-health concerns,� SD73 superintendent Alison Sidow told the school board on Monday. “In many cases, they have been under-served by our system, by

our society and many are disenfranchised from their own families.�

The plan is to have all relocations done in time for the school week of Monday, Sept. 16, with eight portables being sent to NorKam to accommodate the high school’s space needs while TREC occupies space on the second floor of the school across from McArthur Island.

SD73 has seven other sites where programs are run by TREC teachers and, Sidow said, she feels they can find alternative spaces for students who feel uncomfortable attending a standard school. “I have full faith and trust in my staff to make those decisions for those students,�

Sidow told the board, adding that some students and families are comfortable with the NorKam option as it may enable a student to take new courses and/or re-integrate back into that school setting.

While that will be a short-term solution, the district is considering Happyvale as a longer-term option.

Part of staff’s evaluation of Happyvale will be determining if the six-classroom building will have the electrical capacity for the eight portables that would move over from NorKam to accommodate the TREC and Four Directions programs. “In the mid-term, we do need to get a site such as Happyvale, or maybe it’s leased space somewhere, where the [TREC] community can be together,� Sidow said.

It would take a few months to move the programs into the building as the science

centre and day cares need to find new homes and the building requires renovation.

There are 157 students enrolled in TREC at George Hilliard, with about 90 attending full-time, assistant superintendent Bill assistant superintendent Bill Hamblett told KTW. Hamblett noted some of the seven TREC sites may not be appropriate for high school kids, noting SD73’s Street School in Northills Centre, which is geared towards adults, and the First Steps program for expecting mothers as examples.

There are 36 students in the Four Directions program, an alternate learning environment designed to serve secondary students of Aboriginal ancestry who are more likely to succeed in a smaller, more personal and flexible setting.

Initially, only Four Directions was slated to be placed at Happyvale, which is necessitating the relocation of the Big Little Science Centre to a site to be determined. Moving TREC into that space will also require two day cares — L’il Scholars Preschool and Happy Honeybees Child Care — to find new homes.

Assistant superintendent Rob Schoen told the board staff initially wanted to maintain space for the day cares in order to have as little impact as possible on young learners, but that was reconsidered, given the TREC concerns. He said the school district has informed the day cares they may need to move and will help them find other accommodations.

Books need home after fire fallout JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

About a dozen Literacy in Kamloops volunteers have stocked their homes with hundreds of books in the wake of the Parkcrest elementary fire of Sept. 5.

One couple, who look after two of the busier community bookshelves at the Tournament Capital Centre and at the downtown YMCA, are up to their necks in titles.

“I think they took over 500 books home,” Literacy in Kamloops coordinator Fiona Clare told KTW. After about eight years, the nonprofit is being displaced from George Hilliard elementary, where it has stored thousands of books from the annual Heap the Honda event and from other donations that help line two-dozen Bright Red Bookshelves in schools and other venues in Kamloops.

Clare explained the non-profit, which does not have a home base, relies on community partners. It teamed up with the Twin Rivers Education Centre in George Hilliard to store its books. Now, as Parkcrest students move into George Hilliard and TREK students move to NorKam senior secondary, LINK is seeking a new permanent partner and home for its tomes.

“We’ve had probably up to 15,000 books stored here at TREK and then our volunteers come in and pick up books to take them to the

bookshelves,” Clare said. “Now, we have to find a new home or community partner to help us with this program.”

A temporary stop-gap is in the works at Westsyde elementary. The re-opened school has space, at least for now. Clare said, however, the expectation is that the school will be full in the next year or two, meaning the books will again be on the move.

“We’re still looking for a space,” she said.

Literacy in Kamloops promotes literacy in the city via myriad programs, including the Bright Red Book Shelf, the Bright Red Book Bus, Unplug and Play, Parent-Child Mother Goose and a program that allows Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre inmates to record stories and give them to children at home.

Literacy in Kamloops also helps organize the annual Raise a Reader program, which will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 25.

On that day, notable Kamloopsians will fan out across the city, selling copies of KTW — which will include a Raise a Reader section. Raise a Reader Day is a national initiative run through Postmedia Network, with non-Postmedia organizations like Kamloops This Week getting involved.

Other Kamloops-area communities taking part include Barriere, Clearwater, Chase and Logan Lake.

All money raised goes to fund Literacy in Kamloops programs.

Sixth Avenue pedestrians are being letdown without letdowns.

On Tuesday, Kamloops Coun.

Dieter Dudy relayed a concern from a resident about the need for improved accessibility on the downtown street.

“Though the sidewalks exist, the problem is that there aren’t any cuts in them to mitigate the effect of coming off the sidewalk and onto another one, particularly for those people who are reliant on motor scooters and things like that,” Dudy said.

“They find that they’re having to travel down the roadway, rather than the sidewalk itself, because they can’t get their scooter up onto the sidewalk.”

City development director Marvin Kwiatkowski said the city would require letdowns as part of development work in the area.

WILSON, Brandon Charles

DOB: 1992-11-29 Height: 175 cm / 5’09” Weight: 64 kg / 141 lbs Race: Caucasian Hair: Brown | Eyes: Blue Wanted for: Fail to comply

Beyond that, he said, there is limited funding.

City civic operations director Jen Fretz further noted the city’s annual budget to install curb letdowns is $20,000.

“Obviously, it doesn’t go very far each year, but we do work with [People in Motion] to make sure that any priorities that they may have are things that we are addressing,” Fretz said.

“Certainly, we can add things to the list, but we can’t get to everything each year.”

Coun. Sadie Hunter also submitted a notice of motion on Tuesday to potentially include in the city’s five-year-financial plan money specifically geared at accessibilityrelated projects.

That motion will be debated at the next regular council meeting, on Tuesday, Sept. 17.

Kamloops councillor wants labour added to city talks JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor wants the Kamloops and District Labour Council to be added to the list of groups with which the city consults.

“We meet with the business associations, we meet with the chamber, we meet with neighbourhood associations,” Coun. Dale Bass told reporters. “We don’t meet with workers.”

Bass made a notice of motion on Tuesday, requesting the labour council — which represents 13,000 unionized workers from Kamloops to Valemount — be added to the list of organizations with which council engages throughout the year.

“It’s our job to talk to anybody, in any way we can,” Bass said. “So this is just another way to talk to other people. The business association promotes business. They [labour council] promote workers.”

Bass said she does not know why the group had not been engaged to this point, noting it adds a blue collar voice to issues like climate change.

“We need to engage all types of groups,” she said. “Because we don’t know, going forward, whether we’re going to need to adjust contracts, whether we’re going to need to adjust the way people work. We don’t know the future and we should start engaging with them now,” he said.

Still here after 46 years The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972.

The longest serving Chinese restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long.

Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.

The current location at 1800 Tranquille road is the original location and as Cosmos says "We never mess with success".

Bamboo Inn is a 100 seat facility that can also host business, staff, or any function and they have a liquor license.

They also cater to large parties with any dietary requirements. Stop in or call and see what you may have been missing.

"After 46 years, our food and customer service is proof enough that we're doing something right" Cosmo says.

Survey says — ditch time change in the province SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

More than 93 per cent of the 223,273 British Columbians who completed the province’s survey on time observance have indicated they would prefer a move to permanent daylight saving time (DST).

In June, the province launched a survey asking residents whether they want to continue changing their clocks by an hour in the spring and fall or to stick permanently with DST, which would keep the additional hour of evening light year-round.

The survey quickly became the most popular in the province’s history, based on the number of respondents.

“The people of British Columbia have spoken and their collective voice has come through loudly and clearly,” Premier John Horgan said.

The move to eliminate time change was begun by two Kamloops residents: businessman Bob Dieno and Tara Holmes, promotions director at Kamloops This Week. They have cited psychological and medical impacts associated with changing the clocks twice per year.

“I don’t think anybody would have ever predicted it would become the most responded to survey in the history of B.C.,” Dieno said, noting studies and polls conducted prior to the provincial survey indicated 70 to 75 per cent of people were in favour

of remaining on daylight time.

“But 93 per cent — if that doesn’t send a strong message that nobody wants this anymore, not only to this government, but governments everywhere, I don’t know what would,” he said.

With western U.S. states also looking into making changes around daylight saving time, Dieno said the province needs to be a leader and not a follower when it comes to stopping the time change.

“They just need to say ‘Let’s take a stand. Let’s do this.’ And I promise that if we do, others will follow, and they will follow shortly afterwards.”

Desire for a move to permanent DST was consistent throughout the province, with more than 90

per cent of survey respondents in each region indicating their support.

More than half (54 per cent) responded that it was “important” or “very important” for B.C. to be aligned with neighbouring jurisdictions in its time observance practices.

Results from the survey will be considered alongside decisions made by jurisdictions in Canada and the western United States as the province determines the best course of action moving forward.

Lawmakers in Washington, Oregon and California are in various stages of creating or enacting legislation that, pending federal approval, would see those states adopt year-round observance of daylight saving time.

SURVEY DATA • Support for year-round observance of DST was higher than 90 per cent across all industry groups and in all occupational groups, except for students; • Seventy-five per cent of those preferring year-round DST identified health and wellness concerns as a reason for their support; • Fifty-three per cent of respondents noted the benefits of additional daylight during the evening commute in winter, while 39 per cent identified other safety concerns as reasons for their support; • Among those who favoured retaining the biannual time change, balancing daylight hours throughout the year and health and wellness concerns were the reasons most cited.

GLOBAL VIEWS

On climate change, Franzen finally sees the light

J

onathan Franzen has finally seen the light.

Unfortunately, it has blinded him.

The distinguished American novelist and essayist has a piece in the current issue of The New Yorker entitled What If We Stopped Pretending?

Stop pretending that the climate apocalypse is not going to sweep us all away, he means. As he writes: “To prepare for it, we need to admit that we can’t prevent it.”

It’s very elegant, philosophical — Marcus Aurelius for beginners.

Yes, we have wasted 30 years and not cut our global emissions at all.

Yes, we are heading for the “never exceed” average global temperature of +2 C. Yes, that means there will be famines, huge waves of climate refugees and a lot of killing at borders — and then it will get really serious.

So far, I’m with Franzen all the way. In fact, I know exactly how he feels because I got there about a dozen years ago and I felt awful.

I had spent 18 months interviewing everybody you ever heard of in the climate field (and many you haven’t) for a book I was

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH working on.

At the end of it, I had a kind of double vision — not a physical double vision, of course, but overlaid on current reality, I could sort of see the hell that was coming.

That sort of thing can ruin your breakfast, so I manfully set the visions aside and got on with my life.

Maybe Franzen will get over it, too, eventually, but at the moment he thinks we’re doomed and all we can do is little things to slow the apocalypse down a bit and relish the brief time we have left.

“It’s fine to struggle against the constraints of human nature, hoping to mitigate the worst of what’s to come,” he writes.

“But it’s just as important to fight smaller, more local battles that you have some realistic hope of winning. Keep trying to save what you love specifically — a community, an institution, a wild place, a species that’s in trouble — and take heart in your small successes.”

We really shouldn’t be surprised that he thinks like this.

Franzen’s Wikipedia entry (I take my research seriously) says he was heavily influenced by Franz Kafka and Albert Camus, so stylish despair is his default setting.

But it’s not time yet to give up on the big things, like survival.

First of all, change your perspective and stop deploring the human race’s failings. A million years ago, our ancestors were clever apes.

Even 10,000 years ago, they were all hunter-gatherers who had little time or motive to worry about the longer term.

Don’t write us off because we’re still not very good at it.

Now we’re in really deep trouble and all our evolutionary baggage means we’re still having difficulty in acting to avoid disasters that are only a decade or two ahead.

We may be able to rise above it

when the crisis becomes present and palpable, but the procrastination, the disbelief and the delays were inevitable.

In fact, it’s a safe bet that if there are other intelligent species who have recently built highenergy civilizations — and there probably are, given 400-billion stars and two or three times as many planets in this galaxy alone — then they will doubtless be facing similar planetary crises and having to deal with evolutionary baggage of their own.

Any intelligent species is bound to have knuckle-dragging ancestors up its evolutionary tree.

So here we are and it’s going to be tricky. We are almost certainly going to crash through 450 parts per million of carbon dioxide equivalent in the atmosphere in less than 15 years, which in the natural course of events would take us up through +2 C about a decade later.

Welcome to the climate apocalypse.

Unlike Franzen, I do talk to climate scientists and it’s hard to get them to say this on the record.

They don’t want to sow panic.

But if you back them up against a wall and threaten them with a knife, most will admit they

think going beyond 450 ppm is nearly inevitable now — mainly because human politics can’t change fast enough to stop it.

But what the climate scientists all know, and some think might save us, is that 450 ppm and +2 C are not indissolubly linked.

What we need is more time and it is theoretically possible to hold the global temperature down while we work frantically first to get our emissions down, then eliminate them entirely, and finally draw down the excess CO2 that we have already put into the atmosphere.

There are a number of potential methods for doing this, all of them controversial.

The leading proposal at the moment is injecting sulfur dioxide gas into the stratosphere, where there are no living things.

That would reflect a small portion of incoming sunlight and keep the planet below +2 C and its attendant calamities for the time we need.

There are no safe and painless courses left, but there are still choices to be made.

The game is not over.

Women put killer husband on trial in latest WCT play SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

n 1915, George Joseph Smith was hanged for the murder of three women.

But the latest story being staged by Western Canada Theatre is not about Smith.

“Through history we tend to focus on the perpetrators of violent acts — not the victims,” said director James MacDonald. “The victims’ stories often become statistics.”

Those victims were the wives of Smith, and their shared fate, all drowned by the man they had married, is the true-life inspiration behind the supernaturally twisted play.

In The Drowning Girls, three women all come back to life to investigate why their husband cut their lives short.

MacDonald first saw the play as

Dark humour part of storytelling in WCT’s The Drowning Girls From A27

The play also incorporates themes of feminism and social politics, all told with a quirky and dark sense of humour, MacDonald said.

“It’s more of a why-dunit than a whodunit,” MacDonald said.

Although the play is set in early 20th-century England, MacDonald said the play is quite modern, done without accents “except for comic effect here and there” and is fast-paced and dense with a 75-minute runtime.

The trio cast is made up of Morgan Benedict, Genevieve Fleming and Cheyenne Scott.

Local audiences may remember Fleming from WCT’s presentation of A Christmas Carol in 2010.

Elsewhere, Fleming is the artistic producer of a Vancouver indie theatre company called Hardline Productions.

Scott’s most recent WCT performance was in last season’s Children of God, with which she toured across Canada.

Morgan Benedict, seen here over the shoulder of co-star Genevieve Fleming, is a recent Thompson Rivers University graduate who is no stranger to performing in the city.

Her resumé includes past work with Project X Theatre, Chimera Theatre and Tranquille Tunnel Theatre. In The Drowning Girls, she plays Alice, one of the three women married and murdered by George Joseph Smith.

Benedict is a newcomer to WCT, but no stranger to performing in the city. Her past work includes presentations with Project X Theatre, Chimera Theatre and Tranquille Tunnel Theatre.

“I just recently finished school at Thompson Rivers University, so as an emerging actor coming into a show like this, being able to work with actors who have been doing this for so long — and James [MacDonald] who is an excellent mentor and director — I’m learning so much and having so much fun,” she said.

The play might be the first for Western Canada Theatre with a splash zone. The trio will start the show in full bathtubs and, with the play staged in the round, the audience will experience the performers close up.

The Drowning Girls will run at Pavilion Theatre from Sept. 19 to Sept. 28. Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 and online at kamloopslive.ca.

Kids embrace wilderness as part of summer art camps SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

S

ummer art camps at the Kamloops Art Gallery offered a chance for young students to find inspiration in wilderness this year.

Instructors Archie Mitra and Kim Lebel saw four groups of kids, ages five to 12, over a six week period over the summer at the gallery on the corner of Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue.

“We’d go outside almost every day, weather permitting, and for the first day we did drawing outside and looked at where our light source is coming from, where the cast shadow is, and using nature to inspire your artwork,” Lebel said.

Sculpture, ceramics work, printmaking and painting are all part of the curriculum.

In addition to the trips outside, kids are also toured through the gallery itself and learn the terminology of art and the process of creating artwork.

“When it’s all happening you wonder, are they really getting anything out of it? And then you hear about it afterwards,” Lebel

said. “Hearing them use the terminology and realizing things have really resonated with them — that is a highlight.”

Mitra said he grew up with similar opportunities in India, but never got the chance to put his work on display at a gallery.

“I hope if any of them sticks to creating art, this is something they will look back on,” he said.

But Lebel said she wasn’t so fortunate, adding Kamloops is lucky to have programs of this kind, which are not available in some larger centres.

The summer art camp works are on display until Sunday, Sept. 15, in the open gallery at the KAG, 503 Victoria St. “It’s nice just to sit down and create something for no reason, even. And helping them experience that is important even if they don’t take it on as a career — it can always be a part of their lives,” Lebel said.

Next to be featured in the open gallery is work curated from another KAG program, The Lab, created by youth and for youth.

For more information, go online to kag. bc.ca or visit the gallery from Sept. 29 to Dec. 29 during the show.

New Neuropathy Pain Cream Provides Amazing Leg and Foot Relief A cream, not a pill, may be the most effective solution yet for neuropathy pain; active ingredient increases sensation in the legs and feet, relieving burning, tingling and numbness

By Dr. Henry Esber, Ph.D. TORONTO − An exciting clinical use survey study shows that a new neuropathy cream can relieve leg and foot pain in just 15 minutes of applying.

And according to the study participants, burning, tingling, and numbness were the most common symptoms to be relieved.

The cream, called Diabasens, recently developed by scientists in the US and became an instant hit among those suffering with neuropathy. It’s finally available in Canada.

The patented formula works in minutes of contacting the skin, initiating two phenomena’s in the body.

The first phenomenon is known as vasodilation which triggers arteries to expand, improving circulation in the extremities.

The second is called TRPA1 activation and this is what really has people excited as it relieves the pain.

Research Shows Correlation Between Nerve Damage and Sensation Published research shows that neuropathy symptoms arise when the nerves in your legs and feet break down and blood flow is lost to the areas which surround them.

As the nerves begin to die, sensation is lost. This lack of sensation is a major cause of burning, tingling, and numbness.

Remarkably, Diabasens contains one of the few known substances to activate TRPA1, a special sensory pathway right below the skins surface which controls the sensitivity of nerves. It’s these nerves that allow you to feel hot, cold, and touch.

And although this pathway has been known about for years, neither a drug or a pill has been able to target it successfully. That’s why Diabasens is so impressive.

“It all comes down to sensation. When sensation is lost the foot feels constantly asleep. It may also burn and tingle. When sensation is increased, these nagging symptoms often go away”, explains Dr. Henry Esber, one of the scientists behind Diabasens.

“That’s why Diabasens performed so well in our clinical use survey study. It increases sensation and blood flow wherever it’s applied. It’s impressive to say the least”

A Brilliant Technology Most Failed to Consider Until now, many pharma companies have failed to develop a means of TRPA1 activation to fight neuropathy pain. Diabasens is one of the first to take full advantage of this amazing discovery.

“Today’s treatment methods have focused on minimizing discomfort instead of attacking its underlining cause. That’s why millions of adults are still in

excruciating pain every single day and are always battling effects” explains Esber.

“Diabasens is different. Since the most commonly reported symptoms...painful, tingling and numb legs and feet...are caused by lack of sensation of the nerves, we’ve designed the formula increase their sensitivity.“ “And since these nerves are located right below the skin, we’ve chosen to formulate it as a cream. This allows for the ingredients to get to the site faster and without any systemic side effects” he adds.

Study Finds Restoring Sensation the Key to Long Lasting Pain Relief With the conclusion of the human clinical use survey trial, the makers of Diabasens are offering it in Canada and the US. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.

Men and women from all over the country are eager to get their hands on the new cream and according to the results study participants reported, they should be.

In the trial above, participants taking Diabasens as needed experienced pain relief in just 15 minutes after applying! Burning, tingling and numbness were the most commonly reported symptoms to improve.

Even more impressive, when asked if this was the best product they used for their legs and feet, 90% gave a resounding “Yes” with all participants raving they would absolutely recommend it to someone else.

Diabasens is a major breakthrough for neuropathy pain.

Its daily use can result in relief from...

• Pain • Numbness • Tingling • Swelling • Poor Balance

Targets Nerves Right Below the Skins Surface Diabasens is a topical cream that is to be applied directly the legs and feet. It does not require a prescription in the US or Canada.

The active ingredient is extracted from cinnamon bark.

Studies show that neuropathy pain is often caused when peripheral nerves breakdown and blood is unable to circulate into your legs and feet.

As these nerves deteriorate, sensation is lost.

This is why you may not feel hot or cold and your legs and feet may burn, tingle and go numb. Worse, without proper blood flow, tissues and cells in these areas begin to die, causing pain that seems to never go away.

A NEW WEAPON FOR FIGHTING NEUROPATHY PAIN: applied. It’s now being used to relieve burning, tingling, numbness and other kinds of leg and foot pain.

The extract in Diabasens is one of very few compounds that can activate TRPA1, a special sensory pathway that runs through your entire body.

According to published research, activating this pathway increases the sensitivity of nerves, relieving feelings of tingling and numbness in your legs and feet.

According to published research, activating this pathway increases the sensitivity of nerves, relieving feelings of tingling and numbness in your legs and feet.

Supporting ingredients boost blood flow, support cellular health and stimulate the nerves for increased sensation.

Amazing Relief Exactly Where You Need It With daily use, Diabasens users report remarkable improvements in their quality of life and pain levels without of the serious side effects or interactions associated with prescription drugs.

Readers can now enjoy an entirely new level of comfort that’s both safe and affordable.

Imperial Caesarea : King Herod’s Roman city RICK MILLIKAN

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

A

Viking Star Cruise offers fascinating overviews of early Mediterranean civilizations.

One excursion in Israel investigates a prominent Roman port.

Leaving Haifa’s port, our motor coach rolls southward between modern government, business and apartment buildings, past sprawling chemical plants, a large refinery and onto the desolate coastline.

A surprising plantation emerges below a parched hill. “Yes. Those Kibbutzniks were ingenious,” guide Lem notes.

They genetically engineered banana plants to resist root nematodes. Drip irrigation and that white netting cleverly prevent water loss.

Approaching Caesarea, our guide recounts how Rome’s Senate appointed Herod ruler of Judea, the core of modern Israel. Herod became King only after a victorious four-year war and marriage to the hereditary queen.

Still insecure, Herod murdered potential threats, including the queen, their son and other innocent children. His subjects believed it best to be a pig.

Being kosher, Herod spared pigs. Many people actually admired him for building beautiful Caesarea, Jerusalem’s Second Temple and Masada fortress.

Entering the archeological site, our group gathers in an open-air pavilion. Lem tells us about this great imperial city dedicated to Emperor Augustus.

Constructed between 22 and 10 BC, Caesarea became Judea’s largest city, with an estimated 125,000 inhabitants. A 3-D map depicts Caesarea’s urban core featuring familiar Roman structures.

RICK MILLIKAN PHOTO A trip back in time to early Jerusalem awaits the intrepid traveller. Hot and cold baths were enjoyed in Imperial Caesarea’s Public Bathhouse during the time of King Herod near Haifa’s port.

We hear of how its aqueduct conveyed spring water from the foot of Haifa’s Mount Carmel.

Sections of this 10-kilometre aqueduct still stretch along the coast.

A vaulted passageway next takes us inside the city’s reconstructed amphitheater.

Herod stacked tons of quarried stone to forming seats originally accommodating cosmopolitan audiences of 8,000. Of course, Rabbis forbade congregations to attend the pagan events.

Following a 66 AD revolt against Rome, 2,500 Jews were forced to perform here and die battling wild animals.

Now used for evening concerts, 30 restored tiers embrace its stage.

Outside, an inscribed limestone block presents Pontius Pilate’s tribute to Emperor Tiberius.

This confirms Pilate’s existence beyond Biblical references. It’s likely Pilate dwelt here.

On a promontory caressed by the Mediterranean’s cobalt-blue waters, sandstone foundations outline Herod’s enormous palace.

In the centre, lofty marble columns surround its former atrium and gardens.

From a lower cliff, Herod’s pools remain carved into rock ledges, likely used for ritual Jewish baths.

Traces of a hippodrome lie below Herod’s royal residence.

From restored stone bleachers,

we overlook the oval of compacted sand and imagine chariot racers and roaring crowds of toga-clad spectators.

Our guide notes how Rabbis would allow their congregations to attend its races to cheer on charioteers and pray for their survival.

Ahead, red brick bathhouses expose the clay pipes that spouted water into cold and hot pools.

Stone benches line dramatic black and white mosaic floors.

Beyond, pointing out a public latrine trench, Lem recalls how business was conducted and concluded with communal spongesticks.

A former cobblestone street leads us between crumbling

warehouse walls to a mosaic floor clearly identifying the taxman’s office. Herod’s professionals collected heavy taxes from Jewish subjects.

However, we learn this money was often invested in popular civic projects. A sign identifies the nearby floor of a Byzantine Governor’s Palace, reflecting this Empire’s subsequent domination of Judea.

High walls enclose King Herod’s deep-sea marina. Herod imported mega-tons of Italian volcanic ash.

Mixing this with local limestone and sand, his workers produced underwater concrete.

Pouring rubble and this material into wooden boxes, they devised two immense jetties and created a harbour rivaling Cleopatra’s at Alexandria.

Inside a large courtyard, we find other Roman artifacts. Carved garlands decorate one of several marble sarcophagi.

A plaque translates its inscription: no man is immortal. A sculpted torso tops one of three arched pedestals adorning a rectangular pool.

At one time this fountain welcomed merchants with fresh water.

On a lofty knoll, columns, blocks and platforms conjure temples of worship for the imperial citizenry.

Behind a modern bistro, a young cart vendor slices and squeezes pomegranates. “Shalom.

Peace.” he says, broadly smiling.

Pomegranates are special, symbolizing abundance, fertility and Eden’s forbidden apple.

Incredibly, this fruit’s 613 red seeds equal the exact number of the Torah’s commandments.

Like our experience in Caesarea, this fresh juice proves very refreshing.

THE KAMLOOPS STORM HAVE A NEW OWNER, A NEW GM, A NEW COACH AND A NEW LOGO. THE JUNIOR B CLUB IS HOPING A NEW ATTITUDE WILL LEAD THE TEAM BACK TO THE KIJHL ELITE

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Changing narrative is clearly among the Kamloops Storm’s goals for this season.

In July, Quesnel-based businessman Tracy Mero acquired 100 per cent ownership of Parallel Storm Hockey Group, which owns the local junior B club.

Longtime owner Barry Dewar, who put 18 years into the team and enjoyed many winning seasons, is no longer part of the ownership group.

Ownership squabbles, suspensions, fines, poor attendance, losing and spats with the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League and B.C. Hockey made the 20182019 season one of the worst in franchise history.

The Storm have a new GM, Matt Kolle, and a new head coach, Steve Gainey. They are working to improve marketing and online presence.

They want fans to know the team will boast local talent.

Take a tour of the Doug Birks Division and learn of a new name for the Okanagan Division PAGE A34 the club to much better results in the second half of the season, stepped down from the position, citing family and work duties.

“Connecting to the community, having a fun product on the ice, winning, having respectful kids that know how to take care of the fans and the people when they are out in the city— these are things we’re trying to implement,” Gainey said.

The Storm finished fourth in the Doug Birks Division in 2018-2019 with a record of 19-26-1-1 and were swept by the Revelstoke Grizzlies in Round 1 of the playoffs.

Gainey cited a strong crew of returnees and a few key additions when breaking down his roster.

Overage goaltender Ethan PaulinHatch of Fort McMurray is among veterans who will be counted on.

“He’s a heart guy in the room,” Gainey said. “He does a good job at leading and taking care of the young

guys. He’s great between the pipes.”

Paulin-Hatch said the Grizzlies, who posted a record of 42-6-0-1 last season, did not suffer from major turnover in the off-season and will again be a team to beat.

Meanwhile, the 100 Mile House Wranglers are ramping up to host the junior B provincial championship tournament, the Cyclone Taylor Cup, and are expected to be strong.

The Chase Heat also look to be a formidable opponent in the Birks Division.

“It’s going to be a really competitive division, but I think we’re going to be at the top of it,” said PaulinHatch, who played in 41 games last season and posted a .908 save percentage.

“Win the league. That’s the most important thing to me. It’s my last year.”

Therann Kincross, a 20-year-old forward from Victoria, is the Storm’s

top centreman. He racked up 47 points, including 17 goals, in 47 games in 2018-2019.

“We’re looking like a good, skilled, young group of guys,” Kincross said.

“We have a lot of guys who can play up and down the lineup. Strong goaltending. We’re looking pretty good this year.”

Gainey encouraged fans to get to the rink early in the season to catch a glimpse of forward Yewta Plamondon, who played last season for the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

Plamondon, expected to slide in on the wing beside Kincross on the top line, had 40 points in 40 games as a 16-year-old with the Storm in 2017-2018.

“He wants to get back [to junior A],” Gainey said of the Quesnel product. “He’s got some smooth skills that are enjoyable. You can see that pretty quickly when you watch him.”

On defence, two 16-year-olds — Jason Carroll of Kamloops and Brody Johnston of Vanderhoof — have caught Gainey’s eye.

“They have high awareness, physicality and understanding of the game,” Gainey said. “I’m com-

The Storm posted a 2-1 record in the pre-season.

Regular season action begins for Kamloops this Friday, when the Golden Rockets come to town.

Game time is 7 p.m. at Memorial Arena.

Whether the old barn on Victoria Street remains home base for the Storm remains to be seen.

A move back to McArthur Island in time for the 2020-2021 campaign is a possibility.

“I love it here,” Gainey said of Memorial. “I live downtown and this old rink has tonnes of history. Some people in the building would be the only thing that would really change that energy. It’s always fun with more people.

“We have seen that there is a following on the North Shore. I can understand why this group would consider that option of returning that way.

“If we’re able to make things exciting in this building here, then, again, that’s their decision, but I think they’d be fine staying here if things are going well.”

Doug Birks Division preview The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League is split into two conferences — Okanagan-Shuswap and Kootenay — each with two divisions of five teams each.

The OkanaganShuswap Conference houses the Doug Birks and Bill Ohlhausen divisions; the Kootenay Conference is home to the Eddie Mountain and Neil Murdoch divisions.

The top four teams in each division make the playoffs, with the playoff division champions meeting in the conference finals and those winners advancing to the league championship.

The KIJHL champion then advances to the B.C. championship — the Cyclone Taylor Cup — to face the host squad and the champions of the Vancouver Island and Pacific Junior leagues.

The Kamloops Storm are in the Doug Birks

Mulder brings a winning pedigree from Terrace, where he won a Tier 3 provincial title.

Armstrong is a sixfoot-three netminder from White City, Sask.

Division. Here is a preview of the division’s teams, as reported by KIJHL communications manager Emanuel Sequeira.

REVELSTOKE GRIZZLIES Assistant coach Lukas Lomicky takes over the bench from general manager Ryan Parent.

The Grizzlies racked up 42 wins and 85 points last season.

Veteran leadership will come from goalie Noah Desousa, who won 15 games last season and will be the anchor in the back. There will also be Jordan Kohlman and Brenden Vulcano on the back end and forward

Cash Sawchyn.

100 MILE HOUSE WRANGLERS Coach Dale Hladun encouraged mistakes of “effort” during training camp.

The Wranglers will host the 2020 Cyclone Taylor Cup B.C. championship.

Key returnees are Kolby Page, Darian Long and Harley Bootsma, all 20.

Rookies to watch include Garrett Hunter, Quinn Mulder and Caelan Armstrong.

Hunter is a six-footfive defenceman from Parksville, who played in the Notre Dame Academy last season.

SICAMOUS EAGLES First-year coach Tyler Gunn had his sights on players with high compete levels.

The Eagles (17 wins, 42 points last season) will strive to have leadership by committee.

When it comes to rookies, Gunn is curious to see how the players excel coming in from midget.

Owen Spannier, who captained Gunn’s midget team in Lake Country last season, is described as a tremendous kid who has a “great work ethic.”

CHASE HEAT Heach coach Brad Fox is striving to accomplish a culture required to be successful.

The veteran leader-

ship group includes Cam Watson who is considered “probably one of the best two-way players in this league,” according to Fox. Watson is joined by Brett Alexander, Evan Hughes and Breckin Erichuk, who led the Heat last season with 18 goals and 47 points in 40 games.

Trevor Kennedy, 17, is strong, powerful and has an exceptional hockey IQ. Matthew Poole reminds Fox of New York Rangers’ Stanley Cupwinning defenceman Brian Leetch.

“Just the way he plays. His north south, east west, his eyes, his hands, his explosion, he jumps into holes,” Fox said. “He competes hard.

I don’t care if he is small.

He is exciting to have.”

Corson Nordick, whose twin brother, Haden, played last year, a heavy defenceman, who plays hard and goes to the tough areas.

Ohlhausen Division joins KIJHL names The impact Bill Ohlhausen had on the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) has left an impressive legacy — a legacy that sees the KIJHL’s Okanagan Division renamed after him.

“This just caps it all as far as I’m concerned,” says Ohlhausen, who this summer was the recipient of B.C. Hockey’s Diamond Stick award for outstanding service to hockey for 10 or more years.

Ohlhausen and his wife Mary began volunteering with the KIJHL in 1995, and continued until 2018.

BILL OHLHAUSEN He was president since 2002 and played a key role in growing the KIJHL from 12 to 20 teams, including expanding to the Okanagan, beginning with the Osoyoos Rebels in 1996.

With the name change, all four KIJHL divisions are now named after hockey builders: The Okanagan Shuswap Conference is composed of the Doug Birks and Bill Ohlhausen divisions and the Kootenay Conference consists of the Eddie Mountain and Neil Murdoch divisions.

Kamloops mountain biker Catharine Pendrel finished 10th at the World Cup Finals last weekend and 10th overall in the World Cup standings.

The Canadian Olympic team for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Summer Games is likely to include two female cross-country mountain bikers.

Pendrel and Haley Smith are the frontrunners. Emily Batty has an outside chance of unseating either Pendrel or Smith.

The final Olympicqualifying race will be the first 2020 World Cup event, scheduled for next May in the Czech Republic.

Batty will need a top-four finish and to place ahead of Pendrel at that race to bump the Kamloopsian off of the Olympic team.

Prayer and politics — an election cocktail?

T

he writ has dropped, but election fever has been raising political temperatures for some time.

Designated lobbying groups have been at work for months now. A few of them have already published voters’ guide on candidates who would maintain and advance their particular causes.

During the upcoming weeks, however, a point of contact of enormous and eternal significance with the electorate will be missing amid election publicity affairs and glad-handing — that of reliance on divine intervention.

If the word of God is to be believed — which teaches that “the authorities that exist have been established by God” — then it makes sense that the highest authority, namely God almighty, be made at least a consultant and perhaps even an appellant on behalf of the aspirants to Parliament Hill.

Honestly, I have had my candidate and the party picked even before the writ is dropped. Now, as a campaign volunteer, I will work to expedite that person’s victory, releasing my daily prayers in the process.

An injunction of the Bible asks us to pray for national leaders. It urges us to invoke

blessing upon their steps preparatory to the climb.

Aside from the SNCLavalin scandal and the fighting among parties on both sides of the pipeline debate, national spectacles, small and large, have arisen, some of which have been annoying.

Therefore, in the next few weeks, a bit more soul searching before casting our ballots might be helpful in order to check out a candidate’s moral, ethical and spiritual values.

Can Canada raise a sleeping moral majority that is waiting to be released? I believe it can and should.

Is it time to restore spiritual values in public life?

Doing our own things and the resultant spiral of vicious degenerative cycles of brokenness in society emanate from the society’s failure to under-

stand man’s need of God. The right of religious people of all faiths to influence Canada’s public and political process can still slow down, if not prevent, erosion of godly ethics so essential to democracy.

Seeking God’s kingdom and righteousness was a slogan of Jesus earlier in his ministry on Earth.

When He spoke of the kingdom of God, Jesus was not referring to the general sovereignty of God over nature and history, but to that specific rule over His own people which He himself had inaugurated and which begins in anybody’s life when he humbles himself.

It is not clear why Jesus distinguished between His kingdom and righteousness as twin, but separate, objects of priority in our godly quest.

God’s rule is a righteous rule. Therefore, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught us to hunger and thirst for righteousness, to be willing to be persecuted for it and to exhibit a righteousness greater than that of the phony law keepers, namely the Pharisees.

The difference between the two lies in the fact that God’s kingdom exists where He is consciously acknowledged.

To be in His kingdom is synonymous with enjoying His

salvation.

But God’s righteousness is a wider concept than God’s kingdom. It also includes individual and social righteousness.

Because God is righteous, He desires righteousness in every human community, not just in the Christian community.

For some years in the recent past, Christians have been looking to politics and politicians to save Canada.

We thought the right prime minister, the right Parliament and the right Supreme Court judges would stop abortion, strengthen marriages, create safer communities for single mothers and children and ensure religious rights would be respected.

Our motivations were good — we wanted to save lives, homes and our nation.

We saw ourselves as heirs to the Christian political tradition that fought for women’s right to vote, an end human trafficking and all-round welfare for all.

Now, when facing an election, it is time to take stock of both politics and spirituality.

Has our political focus produced the desired results?

Things are hardly better.

Social statistics are largely unchanged. Divorces are increasing. More children are

growing up in single-parent homes or in foster care.

More and more Canadians are living in intractable poverty. Educational achievement is hardly soaring.

We have had great electoral success and marginal political success.

People of goodwill in all faith traditions can disagree about income-splitting, health-care policies or the war of words to solve the Middle East problem.

These disagreements prevent relationships and fellowship of hearts.

We need to spend more time studying the Sermon on the Mount and less time trying to get people elected.

Along with that, let us keep our eyes and hearts open in preparation to choose men and women “who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom…” (Acts 6:3) — the real servants of people who elected them.

ADVICE & INFORMATION

Q: I have now come to terms with my parents not managing in their home. What are some options?

A: A move to a more supportive environment or are your parents adamant about staying in their home? If staying in their home is the choice there are several items to be addressed: 1. Who will be responsible for managing the household operations such as inside and outside maintenance?

2. Who will be responsible for managing in-home caregivers?

3. Who will be available to step in when caregivers are not available at the last minute?

4. Is there a long term care insurance policy in place and what are the benefits?

5. Who will be responsible for transportation/ nutrition/socialization needs?

6. Who will be responsible for all financial matters?

While staying at home sounds appealing, it can be overwhelming considering all that is needed to support this option. Something often overlooked is the possibility of isolation.

There are programs available to assist with staying at home and resources available through BC Seniors websites. If however, you believe a more supportive environment is the best solution, I would be happy to meet with you and/or your parents to discuss options.

Erin Currie is your local Kamloops Senior Living Expert.

Dr. David Geoffrey Hanks December 23, 1963 – August 24, 2019 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David Geoffrey Hanks on August 24, 2019 at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC. He will be lovingly remembered by his beloved wife Hilary, his children Megan, Geoffrey, Matthew and Graeme, his mother Merilyn, his brother Greg (Tracey), his cousin Debbie Okrainetz (Richard), his parents-in-law Samuel and Nancy Yoshida, sister-in-law Naomi Yoshida, brothers-in-law Sean Yoshida (Asae) and Mark Yoshida (Susan) as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family and close friends. He was predeceased by his father Mitchell, in 2004.

David was born in Nelson, BC. His father was in the RCMP so David grew up in several smaller communities including Nelson, Vernon, Ocean Falls, Terrace, Kelowna and Salt Spring Island where his parents eventually retired. His love of learning led him to study at the University of Victoria where he completed a BSc (Honours) in Chemistry and graduated at the top of his class. He then attended medical school at the University of British Columbia, where he met the love of his life, Hilary. They married in 1993, and moved to Ottawa where he completed his general surgery residency. David and Hilary were happy to move back to BC in 1998 when a position became available at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

David was passionate about his work. For 20 years, he practised general surgery with what he referred to as “the most amazing and truly supportive group of colleagues” which he believed he would not have found anywhere else. As a clinical instructor for the UBC Faculty of Medicine, sharing his knowledge by teaching residents and medical students was often the highlight of his day. Always a strong vocal advocate

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

for the Royal Inland Hospital and its services, he dedicated many tireless hours on various committees to making it a better place for the people of Kamloops. The kindness and support from the families and community of people in Kamloops meant so much to David and his family, especially during this past year and a half as he battled cancer.

David lived life to the fullest. Most important to him was spending time with his family. He was always present at his children's activities including music recitals, soccer games and judo. He looked forward to our family reunions every summer at Chesterman Beach, and every winter skiing at Sun Peaks. With many fond memories of fishing as a child, he remained an avid fisherman spending endless hours with his family on the waters off Tofino, on Adams and Horsefly lake, and around the Gulf Islands. He loved reading and learning, and enjoyed talking with close friends on long walks. A very creative person, David was a very enthusiastic and talented woodworker.

David's family is very grateful for the care he received at the Royal Inland hospital and they would like to thank all the doctors, nurses and staff involved in his care.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, September 22, 2019 at 4:00 pm at the Southwest Community Church, 700 Hugh Allen Drive, Kamloops, BC where David listened to many of his children's piano recitals. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation in memory of

Marjorie “Jeanne” McDonald 1933 - 2019 Marjorie “Jeanne” McDonald passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on Tuesday, September 3, 2019 at the Overlander Extended Care Hospital in Kamloops. She is lovingly remembered by her husband Don and her three children Allan (Pam), Jan (Gary) and Brent (Rhonda). Jeanne also leaves her grandchildren Kris Fraser, Alyssa Fraser, Tayla Collings (Mike), Garret McDonald (Sarah), Haley Boldt (Tyler) and Brandon Evanoff. She will also be missed by her great-grandchildren Calla, Charlie and Michelle. Jeanne was born in Prince Rupert. The second of five children born to Roy and Estelle Lancaster, she grew up mostly in Hazelton, where her father was station agent for the CNR. As a young woman, Jeanne continued the family railroading tradition by becoming an office employee for the CNR in Smithers.

Before long, she was noticed by young telegraph operator named Don, and the rest is history. Don and Jeanne remained together for the next 66 years.

Jeanne moved with her young family to several railroad towns; Smithers, Prince George, Edmonton, Winnipeg and finally Kamloops, where the McDonald’s settled down for good in 1972. Jeanne worked happily as a manager in the jewelry department at Sears from 1972-1987. For many years she spent her summer months golfing at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club and her winter months on the ice at the North Kamloops Curling Club. Most of all, mom loved family gatherings, where everyone was welcome, and Sunday dinner was always delicious.

Jeanne was predeceased by her parents Roy and Estelle Lancaster, her brothers Norman and Art, and her sister Beth. She is survived by her sisters Maureen and Marg (Gary) along with numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to sincerely thank the staff at Ponderosa and the Overlander Extended Care Hospital for their many acts of kindness and care during mom’s time there.

Flowers gratefully declined. Memorial donations in Jeanne’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, September 21, 2019 in the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive. Pastor Andrew Picklyk officiating.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Angus MacGregor

Clayton Campbell Clemont

Lorne Donald Jackson

July 23, 1938 - August 24, 2019

October 18, 1997 - August 31, 2019 It is with heavy hearts and great sadness we announce the passing of our son Clayton Clemont on Saturday, August 31, 2019 at the young age of 21.

It is with sadness we announce the sudden passing of Angus Stuart MacGregor on August 24, 2019 at the age of 81 in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Left to mourn this loss are his parents Jordan and Shelly Clemont and his sister Grace.

Angus is survived by his son Graham MacGregor (Sheri Watson), grandchildren Sarah, Erin and Gavin, and his longtime friend Sharon Rhodes, as well as his sister Harriett Dickie and family from Pincher Creek, Alberta.

Clayton is predeceased by his Papa Jim.

Angus was predeceased by his parents Eldon and Mary MacGregor, longtime partner of 40 years, Elly Van Ramele and brother-in-law Ken Dickie.

Angus was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and his teen years were spent in Calgary, Alberta. After high school Angus moved to Edmonton, AB, where he attended University of Alberta, playing football as a running back with the Golden Bears. Following graduation, Angus worked for the Calgary Board of Education as an Elementary school teacher for more than 30 years.

An avid reader himself, Angus took great pride in teaching young minds to love reading and developed an extensive library of children’s books in his classroom. Angus appreciated the outdoors and his summers often included hiking or camping trips that brought him to BC. In fall of 2015, Angus moved to Kamloops to be closer to his son. In recent years, Angus enjoyed watching his son and grandkids at their sports; whether it was soccer, volleyball or latenight hockey, he was frequently there watching on the sidelines. Angus will be remembered for his love of nature and sports (Go Montreal Canadiens!) as well as his amazing ability to retain information, whether it was related to politics, current events, or some small detail like the name of your childhood pet. He will be greatly missed.

A celebration of life will be held with family and friends in Calgary at a later date.

Druscilla “Ann” Skomorski

October 7, 1927 - September 10, 2019

August 5, 1932 – August 12, 2019

Alfred Ferdinand Emil Kretschmer was born on October 7, 1927 to Ferdinand and Theresa Kretschmer in Hotzenplotz, Czechoslovakia.

It is with heavy hearts we said goodbye to our wonderful mother Druscilla “Ann” Skomorski, on August 12, 2019 in Salmon Arm, B.C. Mom was born and raised on the farm in Grandview, Manitoba. She was the fifth child of nine to Archie and Katie Leitch. From an early age she learned the value of hard work and how important family was.

Upon high school graduation, mom moved to Winnipeg, where she worked for the Manitoba Telephone Company. While there she married dad and together they moved around Western Canada. Dad pursued his career with the Bank of Nova Scotia and mom worked at raising her family.

Mom had a great sense of humour and a fierce loyalty to her family.

She was remarkably strong and courageous to the very end. We were blessed she was ours. Mom always put others first, she was a caring, unselfish, compassionate person.

Mom chose to stay at home while we grew up. She volunteered her time at many of our school events, often coming in to help in our classrooms. She was always our biggest fan and supporter.

Our home was always open to family and friends. Mom was an outstanding cook and she spent a lot of time in the kitchen. One of her greatest joys was get togethers with family and friends.

In her younger days she was a wicked ball player and in her later years she enjoyed golf with the ladies at Shuswap Lake Estates. Maybe she didn’t have the best score but she always had the girls laughing. Mom loved to play cards, and she was an avid Bridge player well into her 80’s.

Mom leaves behind her children, Donna (Brian) Rollier and Sandra (Tracy) Rankel, her grandchildren Nicole (Steven) Dolson, Nick Rankel, Miranda (Russell) Taylor and Julie Rollier (Ross), and her great grandchildren Iver, Charlie and Lennon. She also leaves behind her two younger sisters, Gladys Thorsen and Lynda Barnett and the rest of her family in Alberta and Manitoba.

A special thank you to Doctor Heunis and all the care aids and nurses involved with mom’s care, especially near the end.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring, per mom’s wishes, on Saturday May 2, 2020 at 2:00 pm at Elks Hall 30th Street N.E., Salmon Arm, and B.C. Online condolences may be forwarded to the family through Ann’s obituary at www. bowersfuneralservice.com

Alfred left this world to be with the Lord on September 10, 2019 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House.

Alfred was predeceased by his parents, sister Liesselotte and eldest son John. He will be remembered by his loving wife Marie, son Jeff (Michele) Scott, his daughter Lynn (Will) Lombard, his grandchildren Zach, Kimberly, Jackson and Sidney, step-daughters Lynn (Alan) Ellsay, Joni (James) Cathcart and Terri (Bernd) Tischler, and numerous step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Alfred immigrated to Eastern Canada in 1951 and was employed by CN Telecommunications. He later made Kamloops his home and retired after 30 years of service.

Alfred loved swimming and windsurfing. At home in Kamloops you could always find him outside trimming trees, gardening or working on a project in his shed.

Alfred will be deeply missed by all who knew him. The family would like to thank the many caring relatives for their loving support and the staff and volunteers at hospice where he had the most excellent care.

A Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday, September 18, 2019 at 11:30 am at Lord of Life Lutheran Church. 2481 Sunset Drive, Kamloops, BC. Church office number: 250-828-0788.

Should family and friends desire, they can make donations to Lord of Life Lutheran Church or The Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Donald Garnet Glover

Wayne Robert Corbin

November 18, 1948 – September 4, 2019 The family of Don regret to announce his passing on Wednesday, September 4, 2019 after a long battle and complications as a result of Parkinson’s disease.

Don was born in Kelowna to Garnet ‘Gar’ and Mary Geraldine ‘Gerry’ Glover in November 1948 but soon after moved to Kamloops where the family roots are strong and he resided all his life.

Don was with young onset Parkinson’s disease and endured many years of frustration, but, always with humour and his positive nature, not letting it get him down. Sports such as powder skiing at Tod Mountain, now Sun Peaks, including heli-skiing in Blue River, golf, hockey and bike riding were all a life style Don truly enjoyed. Having to give up his camaraderie of senior men’s hockey was discouraging but lead him to hours of roller blading at MacArthur Island to maintain his fitness level he knew was so very important. In addition to golfing with friends and family in his later years which he truly look forward to.

Don’s employment history was solely with the BC Building Corporation crew as a steam engineer starting at Tranquille Sanatorium then moving to the downtown BC government site on Columbia Street. He transitioned to landscaping provincial City of Kamloops facilities and was very proud of the productions he produced. Don’s skills included ‘if you can’t buy it, build it’ mentality and he produced many practical items in addition to his artistic metal and carpentry pieces as an aside.

Survived by his children Jolene and Drew, his sisters and brother Carolann (Brett), Constance, Reg, Debra (Renato) and Lorraine and predeceased by his father Garnet ‘Gar’ and most recently his mother Gerry. He has numerous nieces and nephews who shared in his family’s gatherings and holiday celebrations together when they could do so.

Thanks go to his doctors and the staff at the Kamloops Seniors Village along with those at Overlander Extended Care, his previous care home. Special thanks to Don’s friends who golfed, visited and supported him over the years.

For those who can, donations to the BC Parkinson’s Society in memory of Don and his hopes for improved treatment and potentially a cure would be most appreciated.

The annual Parkinson’s Walk support was especially important to Don through his earlier years.

Dad – you always made us all laugh right along with you. Love you always.

Celebration of life is being held on September 15, 2019 at 6:30 pm at Kamloops Seniors Village. Please bring your Don stories and share with his family and friends.

Wayne Robert Corbin’s big heart stopped and he went on to his heavenly home to be with his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The Lord welcomed him home on Saturday, August 31, 2019, at the age of 70.

Wayne has found peace at last.

In fact, he was very surprised he lived so long!

Celebration of Life

Shirley Ann Juel Plaskett (née Hordal) Ask DRAKE

A very big thank you to all the medical personnel involved in his care!

Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Wayne was born and raised in a small town on BC’s Central Coast called Ocean Falls. He never lost his love for that place and made many trips back there to boat and fish.

He joined Army Cadets in Ocean Falls to help kids learn about the outdoors and then moved to Kamloops (because his wife said so) and continued with it. Cadets was his life!

He leaves behind his wife Moe Danshin, sons Kyle (Natalie), Tyler (Amanda) and grandchildren Kaycee, Tyson, Camryn and Emma; as well as many other family members, friends and neighbours – and a jug of milk!

A Celebration of Wayne’s life will be held on Sunday, September 22, 2019 at 1:00 pm, at the Coast Hotel on Rogers Way; Ballroom ABC. In lieu of cards, gifts or flowers, please consider a donation to the Kamloops Army Cadet Corps or the Legion. Thank you.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Q. Are we entering “death season”?

A Celebration and Remembrance of Shirley's life is being held Saturday, September 14, 2019 at 1:00 pm at Mount Paul United Church, 140 Laburnum Rd. Kamloops, BC. Please join us. !

A. There is no “death season,” as roughly the same number of people die in BC every month of the year. The graph shows a flat line, if you’ll pardon the expression. Weddings, on the other hand, show a definite spike in June, July, August and September. The number of births rise a bit starting in March. Go figure! !

LEPRI, Oliviero “Oliver” June 3, 1940 - September 5, 2019 After a courageous battle with brain cancer, Oliviero Lepri, 79, long-time resident of Ashcroft, passed away peacefully on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2019, surrounded by his loving family.

Oliviero (“Oliver”) is survived by his devoted wife Leonella of 50 years, children Nicoletta (Ted), Rosano (Kylie), Lorenza (Cory), Domenico, grandchildren Oliver and Mia, and many relatives. He was predeceased by his sister Guglielmina, father Domenico and mother Ubaldina. He was a loving father, husband, grandfather, godfather and a friend to everyone.

Oliviero was born June 3, 1940, in Gubbio, Perugia, Italy, to Domenico and Ubaldina Lepri. He was the 4th of 6 children, alongside brothers Salvatore, Italo, sister Maria, and youngest brother Giancarlo.

A builder and an explorer, he left home at the age of 16 to construct buildings and houses as a Master Carpenter Form Builder in Italy, Luxembourg, France, Germany and Libya, just to name a few countries. He married his soulmate Leonella in March 1969, moved to Canada in June 1970 to be close to his “cara sorella” (dear sister) Maria in Lytton, BC and finally moved to Ashcroft, BC in 1975, arriving on Ash Street in 1981, where he lived for his remaining 38 years. He worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway tirelessly for 30 years before retiring as Deputy Roadmaster, Thompson Sub, Maintenance of Way at the end of 1999. CP Rail is where he met countless friends. It was hard to take a trip anywhere without running into someone he knew (“How are things on the Thompson Sub Oliver?!”).

Oliviero loved spending time in his garage. As a master handyman of all he could build or fix anything.

He also loved working in his garden, keeping his yard in immaculate shape and making wine. Oliver really enjoyed having conversations, but especially about current events, politics, Calcio (Forza Italia) and Formula Uno (Forza Ferrari). At his table or in his backyard he would share his thoughts, his produce, his wine and his warmth.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, Sept. 13, at 11am at the Ashcroft HUB (711 Hill Street), presided by Father Dale Normandeau. A light reception will follow. Interment will be at Cache Creek Cemetery, with a graveside service for immediate family only.

The family would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Meghan MacDonald, Dr. Deborah Obu, Dr. Delia Saucic, Dr. Benjamin Mou, Dr. Ryojo Akagami, Dr. Charlotte Dandurand, BC Ambulance, the staff of VGH Neuro Intensive Care unit, RIH 6-North (especially nurse Brandy Kuzyk), Kelowna and Kamloops Cancer Clinics, Ashcroft Home Health, and nurse Greg and all the staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice in Kamloops.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Oliviero’s name can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice in Kamloops and/or the BC Cancer Foundation to support research and advancements in the treatments of Brain Cancer. http://www.kamloopshospice.com/index.php/contribute/donate/ https://bccancerfoundation.com/why-give/research/brain Online condolences may be made at www.tvfh.ca
