COMING IN FROM THE COLD TODD SULLIVAN

STAFF REPORTER

todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

Winter-like weather has arrived in Kamloops, with temperatures dropping to the negative double digits this week.

For many of us, that’s an annoyance. We need to bundle up, fight with the ice coating our windshields and invest in some gloves.

However, for people living on the street, the plunge in temperatures is much more than an annoyance — it can be a matter of life or death.

Unfortunately, they have fewer shelter options available to them right now as the Out of the Cold winter shelter continues to look for a new home.

Out of the Cold had for years operated downtown out of St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, but the church is no longer available for shelter use.

Though a couple of possible sites are being looked at, new executive

director Lena Cimmarrusti is asking anyone who might have a lead on space to reach out to Out of the Cold.

“We have some options,” she said.

“It’s more difficult than you would think to get a place that’s not only available, but we don’t have any money. We have a very small budget.

It’s based completely on donations.

So it’s difficult to find somewhere we can afford.”

Until the organization is able to find a location, there will be fewer beds available to those without homes during the coldest months of the year.

And the struggles they are facing this year means donations to the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund are more important than ever.

“We may need the money to pay for space,” Cimmarrusti said. “St. Paul’s gave us the space for free, so we may need to pay rent where we end up.

“We’re also looking at potentially being open more, so that would also

cost more money. We’d need more staff hours, we’d need more food — everything.”

Between the current lack of a home and the potential financial burden of a new one, Out of the Cold is looking for support from the public.

At the moment, Cimmarrusti said financial help in the form of donations would be most beneficial, while volunteers are always welcome.

“We will definitely need more volunteers, especially if we’re going to go for more than two nights,” she said.

“We need people who are willing to come and stay in the evenings.

We need set-up crews. We need teardown crews. We need people to help serve meals and we also need people that are willing to stay up with our staff overnight because we can’t just have one staff person by themselves.”

Those interested in helping can contact Cimmarrusti by email at ootckamloops@gmail.com or by phone at 250-299-6699.

GIVE LESS WASTE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON The holidays can generate an extraordinary amount of waste. Gift giving, entertaining, decorations, cards, wrapping paper, and more—it all adds up. There are many ways you can reduce waste, including the following: • Give experiences and wellness instead of "stuff ". Memories last much longer than things.

• Treat guests to reusable tableware instead of single-use items. Serving guests with real dishes, utensils, and napkins creates less waste and adds a personal touch.

• Plan meals to avoid food waste. Freeze leftovers to make dishes such as stew and turkey soup.

• Send love in an email instead of a card, reuse cards from prior years as gift tags, or send the same card back to the original sender and turn it into a fun tradition.

• Wrap wisely and use reusable bags or cloth to wrap gifts instead of paper.

Zofia Cisowski dies in Poland

MOTHER OF ROBERT DZIEKANSKI, THE MAN WHO DIED AFTER BEING TASERED BY POLICE AT VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN 2007, WAS 73 YEARS OLD

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

LOOK FOR OUR GREAT DEALS ON PAGES A14-A15 #105-5170 DALLAS DR., KAMLOOPS | 250-573-1193

EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

The mother of Robert Dziekanski, the Polish man who died after being Tasered by RCMP officers at Vancouver International Airport in 2007, has died.

Zofia Cisowski died on Nov. 18 in Gilwice, Poland, during her annual visit to her home country.

She was 73.

Jurek Baltakis, a friend of Cisowski’s in Kamloops, said Cisowski maintained an apartment in the Polish city and would visit each year. Her brother, Zdzieslaw Dziekanski, lives in Poland with his family.

Baltakis said Cisowski had kept an apartment in Gilwice and would stay there during her visits.

“A neighbour saw the lights in her apartment were on all night and sent a son to check on her,” Baltakis said.

Baltakis said Cisowski had suffered a stroke and was found on the floor of her apartment, unconscious. She was taken to hospital, where she regained consciousness before suffering a fatal second stroke on Nov. 18.

Cisowski was thrust into the spotlight on Oct. 14, 2007, when she drove from Kamloops to Vancouver International Airport to pick up her son, Robert, who was moving to Canada to be with his mother.

The 40-year-old, who did not speak English spent 10 hours wandering the international arrivals

area, unaware that his mom was in the public waiting area. He was frustrated following those 10 hours and the previous 14 hours of flights and could not find somebody to help him.

An agitated Dziekanski was holding a stapler when he was approached by four Mounties, with cellphone video shot by a passerby showing Dziekanski was immediately Tasered five times as officers took him to the ground. Dziekanski died within minutes of cardiac arrest.

The cellphone video contradicted much of what RCMP officials had said about the incident.

The Braidwood Inquiry in 2010 concluded the RCMP officers were not justified in using the Taser and that the officers later deliberately misrepresented their actions to investigators.

All four Mounties were charged with perjury as a result of the Braidwood Inquiry.

Eventually, Const. Kwesi Millington was sentenced to 30

months in jail and Cpl. Benjamin Robinson was handed a two-year term behind bars. Constables Gerry Rundel and Bill Bentley were acquitted.

In 2012, an opera based on the death of Dziekanski premiered in Halifax and had its debut in the United States this past September when it opened the Thompson Street Opera Company’s season in Chicago. In Kamloops, the Robert Dziekanski Memorial Scholarship was created at Thompson Rivers University.

Cisowski immigrated to Canada from Poland in 1999 and initially lived in Logan Lake, where she was married. She later moved to Kamloops, where she became involved in the city’s small Polish community, of which Baltakis is an active member.

“It’s so sad,” Baltakis said, referring to Cisowski’s death and the anguish she endured since her son’s death 12 years ago.

Cisowski’s funeral will be held on Friday in Pieszyce, Poland.

“2” is the Magic Number Did you know: if you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you have two years from the accident date to start an action. Otherwise, your claim will lapse and you won’t recover for your injuries.

Accident victims sometimes believe their injuries are not serious enough to start a claim. However, injuries often remain over time and the “old you” doesn’t come back. If your recovery has plateaued, it’s time to consider your options.

If you’ve been injured in an accident in the past two years, contact our Personal Injury Team for a free consultation.

Even if you have engaged ICBC in discussions, you should consult with a lawyer.

The family of a Kamloops woman who was injured when her vehicle struck a moose en route to Edmonton is thanking supporters of its GoFundMe page for a rapid response.

Tara Bouvette, 25, was driving to Edmonton on Nov. 22 to visit friends when her vehicle collided with the animal along Highway 16 just outside of the Alberta capital, her sister-in-law, Samantha Bouvette, told KTW. According to Samantha, Tara was airlifted to the University of Alberta Hospital, where she was rushed into surgery. She has 41 staples in her skull, sustained a fracture at the base of her skull and was left with more than 14 facial fractures, as well as a major cut by the corner of her right eye.

Tara is in critical condition and still requires more facial surgery to fix those fractures, Samantha said.

“She has some shortterm memory loss at this point that may or may not come back, as well trouble with her vision,” Samantha said.

“Pretty much all of her injuries were to her head and face.”

Tara’s two siblings and mother made impromptu travel plans to be by her side,

Tara Gauvette (above) was driving to Edmonton on Nov. 22 when her vehicle collided with a moose on Highway 16 near Edmonton. Gauvette was last reported to be in critical condition in University of Alberta Hospital, with the force of the impact tearing the roof from her car. Hair from the animal, which was killed in the incident, can be seen on the windshield pillars.

with mom Shelley and older brother Chris — Samantha’s husband — flying to Edmonton from Kamloops the day after the crash at a cost of $800 each. Tara’s older sister, Ashley, a single mother with three kids, flew in from Fort Nelson.

Donations from the GoFundMe page aim to help the family offset the cost of plane tickets, accommodations and other unexpected expenses, particularly for Shelley, who has been shouldering the expenses and intends to stay by her daughter’s side in Edmonton until Tara can be transferred

closer to home.

“As a mother myself, I can’t imagine going through what she’s going through,” Samantha said.

The family started the online fundraiser this past Tuesday.

The goal was $2,500 and that was met just four hours after the page went live. As of Thursday, the fundraiser had accumulated close to $9,000.

“It means a lot because this is such an unexpected tragedy,” Samantha said, adding the donations show how helpful a small city like Kamloops can be during a time of need.

Samantha noted the funds help because while ICBC will cover some costs related to Tara’s rehabilitation, it is unclear if it will be enough compared to what she will ultimately need.

Photos of the crash, which occurred at about 6 p.m., show the roof of Tara’s vehicle was torn off.

According to Samantha, the friends Tara was going to visit in Edmonton had been tracking her trip through an app when they noticed the beacon wasn’t moving and she wasn’t returning messages.

“They drove to the location the phone was giving off and they found her car in pieces and there was a moose dead on the side of the road,” Samantha said, noting by the time they arrived, emergency crews had already been dispatched and Tara had been airlifted to hospital.

They then contacted Shelley and she managed to locate the hospital to which Tara had been taken.

“A lot of people don’t actually survive that crash,” Samantha said.

“She’s doing incredible considering the circumstances.”

To donate to the cause, go online to gofundme.com and search “Tara Bouvette.”

Raids included Hells Angel associate’s business KIM BOLAN

VANCOUVER SUN

A Kamloops gardening store owned by a close associate of a slain Hells Angels’ member was raided on Tuesday by anti-gang police as part of a drug trafficking investigation.

Kamloops RCMP and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit said the searches were conducted on the Sunshine Gardens Superstore in the 1700block of Kelly Douglas Road in Valleyview, as well as at two residences — one in the 100-block of Knollwood Drive in Valleyview and the other in the 1000block of Kinross Place in Aberdeen.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said two men — ages 50 and 24 — were arrested, but have been released while the investigation continues.

Shelkie said police seized “over $350,000 in Canadian currency, substantial amounts of illicit drugs including what is believed to be cocaine, methamphetamine, fen-

tanyl and marijuana, a 40 calibre handgun with ammunition and various items relating to drug trafficking.”

Corporate records show Sunshine Gardens Greenhouse is owned by Zale Coty, a close associate of Hells Angel Chad Wilson, who was gunned down in November 2018.

The 50-year-old Coty incorporated the business in 2000 and is the sole director, according to the B.C. Corporate Registry.

Sunshine Garden’s website boasts “over 6,000 square feet of hydroponics, nutrients and equipment to serve all of your indoor and outdoor growing needs!

We’re one of the fastest growing hydroponics and gardening suppliers and you’ll find many highperformance products that you may not find anywhere else.”

Coty is also a member of the Okanagan’s Throttle Locker biker gang, which police have identified as a support club of the Hells Angels.

Dog killed in hit and run KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops Mounties are looking for the driver of a Ford pickup truck who hit and killed a dog on the Tk’emlups te Sécwépemc reserve on Tuesday, Nov. 26.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the hit and run occurred at 12:15 p.m. on a portion of a private driveway in the 1000-block of Chief Louie Way. “The owner of the dog saw the suspect vehicle fully cross the centre line before hitting the dog at the top of his driveway,” Shelkie said. “After hitting the dog, the vehicle stopped briefly, then headed west.”

The dog belonged to Morning-Star Peters, who posted about the death on Facebook.

“The man stopped for a minute, saw he hit our dog and left when my husband came out the door,” Peters said. “He was going over 100 km/h, on his phone. We assume this was on purpose as he was on the complete other side of the road.”

Peters said her puppy weighed 53 pounds and that the truck may have some damage on its front end.

“We are extremely saddened by the loss of our fur baby, but it could have been anyone or anything this man hit,” Peters said. “We need people that drive like him off the road.”

The driver is a white man between 45 and 50 years of age. He was wearing a black hat and sunglasses and appeared to be clean-shaven. He was driving a newer, white Ford F150 crew cab with a black tonneau cover.

The vehicle may have had black pinstriping down the side.

Anybody with information on the incident is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

down on Wednesday afternoon, he regularly posted photos of himself attending events with the Hells Angels, including a pig roast at the Surrey clubhouse of Wilson’s Hardside chapter.

He also lamented the Nov. 18, 2018, murder of Wilson, whose body was found under the Golden Ears Bridge in Maple Ridge. No one has yet been charged in the slaying, which happened nine months before

another Hardside Hells Angel — Suminder (Allie) Grewal — was gunned down in South Surrey this past August.

Two Edmonton men have been charged in connection with Grewal’s murder.

Land title records show Coty also owns a property at 173 Knollwood Dr. — the same block where police executed one of the warrants. He purchased the Knollwood property,

currently assessed at $410,000, in March of 2017. He also owns two other properties — one in Tappen, east of Kamloops in the Shuswap and assessed at $1.23 million, and another one on Inskip Road in Westsyde assessed at $339,000.

Cody’s only convictions in B.C. are for two instances of driving when his licence was suspended in 2007 and 2017, according to the B.C. online court database.

In the coming days, police will be setting up Counter Attack road blocks and, as in years past, we will all note our surprise that so many people continue to drive while having a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit.

True, it is the season when alcohol starts flowing freely and people partake in some Christmas cheer, which is why Operation Red Nose exists.

Police have pointed out that more than half of impaired driving crashes happen on the weekend. Another statistic from the provincial government shows that alcohol-related fatal crashes were down 50 per cent in 2018 from 2010.

The main difference is that 2018 included the immediate roadside prohibition program. Its goal had been a 35 per cent reduction.

In terms of how many people in B.C. have received various driving prohibitions from police so far in 2019, the numbers are low compared to previous years, sitting at 12,791 through September.

Comparatively, the last three years have all seen between 21,000 and 24,000 driving prohibitions issued.

We expect those numbers will rise as impaired-driving blitzes increase.

But we can all prove that prognostication wrong by simply not drinking and driving. Call a cab. Call a friend. Call Operation Red Nose. And, soon (please hurry up, B.C. NDP), you will be able to call a ride-hailing service.

By choosing not to drink and drive this Christmas season, not only will the community thank you, you’ll be doing the best thing you can do for yourself.

Regulation redux in B.C.

P

remier John Horgan’s NDP government is going full tilt against oil companies, passing legislation to require companies to hand over import, pricing and supply data to the B.C. Utilities Commission.

The legislation is eerily similar to a move to regulate fuel prices more than 80 years ago by Liberal premier Duff Pattullo.

While Horgan may be unfamiliar with that move in the depths of the Great Depression, it is worthwhile noting that Pattullo’s bid to regulate retail and wholesale fuel prices ended very badly for him.

His two-term government failed to win a majority government in the next election in 1941.

His own party deposed him so a coalition government of Liberals and Conservatives could take over under former finance minister John Hart.

Pattullo attributed the loss, at least partially, to the battle with Big Oil, writing to a friend, as quoted in Martin Robin’s Pillars of Profit: “This antagonized some very powerful interests. From that day to this, a constant campaign has been waged against me personally.”

The prime motivation for this latter-day assault on oil companies is the successful campaign the NDP mounted in the 2017 election to make life more affordable for British Columbians.

Service Plan premiums (the final bills are now in the mail) and get rid of tolls on two bridges in the Lower Mainland were enough to give the party extra seats in Surrey, Delta, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

It’s having more challenges controlling higher ICBC premiums, caused by the “raging dumpster fire” that shows no sign of easing up.

The shockingly high price of gas in the spring months (it jumped to more than $1.70 per litre in Vancouver) promoted Horgan to ask the B.C. Utilities Commission to investigate.

The commission could find no rational explanation for about 10 to 13 cents of the per litre price, leading to the latest legislation.

Of course, there are many factors in B.C.’s high gas prices Taxes are one — in particular the carbon tax (which the NDP has raised) and the TransLink fuel tax in the Metro Vancouver region.

Another factor is transporta-

tion. There are just two small oil refineries in B.C., one in Burnaby and one in Prince George, so most fuel sold here is refined in Edmonton or Washington state.

Fuel prices seem to remain stubbornly high in many places, particularly more remote areas.

Recently, Squamish residents mounted a protest against high prices in their community, which is just outside Metro Vancouver.

Powell River residents also say prices there remain stubbornly high. This may at least partially due to reduced competition and the fact two ferry rides are needed for fuel to be delivered to the community.

The government wants to move rapidly to carbon-free transportation (it has a goal of banning the sale of new gaspowered vehicles by 2040), but the reality is most people require gasoline or diesel fuel to power their vehicles.

Horgan’s government may be on to something, but it should also consider that fuel prices in Quebec and the Atlantic provinces, which regulate gas prices, are sometimes among the highest in Canada.

This is despite the fact Canada’s largest oil refinery is Irving Oil in Saint John.

Mixing oil and politics can become messy.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PIPELINE PROBE NEEDED IN CITY

KEEP YOUR TIRES OFF THE LINES Editor: Re: Frank Lang’s letter of Nov. 20 (‘New paint needed on highways’): As a journeyman painter, I am also interested in the fading road lines.

In short, Ottawa follows California in mandating water-based line paint. It wears out because it is less durable than the old Xylene paint and drivers seem intent on riding on it.

Water-based paint is supposed to be more environmentally friendly, but making everything water- soluble just adds to the amount of pollution we can pump into our rivers.

The old paint was a closed loop, so nothing entered our waterways unless someone was dumb enough to pour it down the sink.

Now we have (convenient) products that are far too easy to flush down the drain. I never wash roller sleeves. Instead, I just wrap them in cling film and use again, then discard, as it takes about 40 litres of water to clean one.

Since the new road paint products are not as resistant to wear as the old ones, do us all a favour and keep your tires off them.

Ken Wells Kamloops

Editor: We believe Kamloops council needs to take a leadership role in bringing about greater understanding of the current condition and future safety of the existing 66-year-old, 24-inch Trans Mountain pipeline as it passes through the area.

We submit that there is a large and unacknowledged danger from a leak or leaks from this outdated and possibly obsolete pipeline. We ask council to become engaged in further educating the public about any and all risks, followed by appropriate action to protect residents and the environment to the highest degree possible.

Keystone pipeline’s recent 1.4-millionlitre spill of Alberta tar sands-diluted bitumen in North Dakota contaminated two hectares, 10 times more land

than initial reports estimated.

In previous communications with councillors, we were told that what has happened with Keystone is not relevant to the Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs through the city’s residential areas and crosses waterways. If this is the actual position of council, we find it to be unacceptable and alarming.

The two pipelines are similar in that both carry diluted bitumen from Alberta tar sands. However, Keystone was built in 2011 and is logically much better engineered, constructed and monitored under modern standards — yet it still managed to leak 1.4-million litres before detection and shutdown took place. Remember, Trans Mountain was built in 1953 and was not even intended at the time to be used for

transporting the more acidic, caustic and toxic diluted bitumen. It was intended to transport standard petroleum products.

It is our belief there is a potential disaster scenario for Kamloops residents with the existing obsolete and outdated Trans Mountain pipeline and it is a situation that cannot be ignored.

We request council undertake a thorough examination of risks to residential areas and waterways in Kamloops, including specific detailed history of all leaks and any company concerns with the existing pipeline. We trust council will then take necessary actions to ensure Kamloops residents and waterways are protected to the highest possible degree now and in the future .

KAMLOOPS HERITAGE SOCIETY ‘VERY DISAPPOINTED’ IN CITY’S ATTITUDE JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Heritage Society is not going down without a fight.

On Tuesday, society members took advantage of the public inquiries portion of a Kamloops council meeting to once again express frustration over the city’s planned takeover next year of St. Andrews, the city’s oldest public building.

The decision was part of a city review of service agreements.

On Tuesday, society members demanded answers about the way in which the facility downtown at Seymour Street and Second Avenue will be run in the future, including costs to taxpayers and quality of service to those renting the heritagedesignated former church.

For example, if the building is to be run similarly to other city facilities, will staff set up a wedding, as has been the case in the past? Two events have apparently already been canceled, council heard.

“We’re very disappointed in your attitude and actions,” society secretary Bernice Mitchell told council.

However, the city maintains all events booked will be honoured and it appears the municipality has been trying to extend an olive branch as the public squabble continues, in trying to work with the society on a transition plan and preserve cultural items in the building, which are apparently for sale.

On Tuesday, Mayor Ken Christian revealed that the city has been reaching out to the society to negotiate a transition plan, which includes keeping on the society’s staff member and building caretaker, Melody Formanski. Christian told the society the city wants to do right by Formanski, who has been instrumental in persevering the heritage building, and has “no intention of firing people.”

The society has apparently not responded to the city.

“We have written to your society and you refuse to acknowledge that we have

written,” Christian said.

Disagreement, however, extends beyond the issue of future operation of St. Andrews.

The two parties are also butting heads on the lease conditions.

The society said the city is responsible for maintaining the facility, but the city argues the opposite After the council meeting, the city issued a press release, which stated: “The existing lease with the Kamloops Heritage Society outlines that the operation, maintenance and repair of St. Andrews on the Square are the responsibility of the society. In exchange, the society keeps 100 per cent of the revenue generated by facility bookings.”

Furthermore, it states revenue generated by the society is not enough to cover operations and maintenance of the building, leading to council’s decision to assume management of the facility.

Regular maintenance and repair includes hardwood floors, the HVAC system, exte-

rior and interior paint, roofing and stained-glass windows.

The city’s proposed transition plan spans 22 months.

The city will assume responsibility for operations, maintenance and repairs effective March 1, 2020, and the society will continue to collect revenues for bookings until Dec. 31, 2021.

The city will also pay the society $20 per hour to help with events and the group can use the facility for three hours per month, at no cost, to hold society meetings during that time.

The society said it will continue its online petition to maintain operation of the building.

In the meantime, the city noted the group is selling contents of the building, some of which have cultural significance.

The society has told KTW that contents it owns in St. Andrews will leave with the society, but council was told on Tuesday the society will not go so far as to sell the stainedglass windows.

Coming in from the cold to broach budget with the city SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was a night of civic engagement — at least for those who weren’t at Sandman Centre to watch the Blazers play or cozily bundled up at home in the face of freezing temperatures.

In all, about 70 people attended Wednesday nights public budget meeting on McArthur Island, with ideas offered on how the city should spend its citizens’ dough.

One way the city put its ear to the ground was with a sticky note board — and it got an earful.

Ideas ranged from the inventive — city-wide Wi-Fi or gravity-driven power generation — to the austere — selling off the Tournament Capital Centre or reducing the number of city staffers.

Other suggestions were common refrains or more middleof-the-road — add transit to the airport, relocate the downtown CP railyard, improve traffic safety, add more class-based recreation activities and more actively develop the city’s industrial land base, to name a few.

(And some were downright tongue-in-cheek — “Bigger sticky notes.”)

Aberdeen resident Tony Ryan spotted the meeting notice in Kamloops This Week and decided to drop by without any particular issue in mind. He has lived in Kamloops for 20 years

“

You look at our projections of $67 or $100 increase and I think that’s manageable, as long as we’re getting value for it.

”

— Kamloops resident TONY RYAN

and prefers its tax situation to his previous hometown, where he was paying much higher property taxes.

“You look at our projections of $67 or $100 increase and I think that’s manageable, as long as we’re getting value for it,” he said.

Ryan said he is happy with how his money is being spent, except when it goes to beautification projects.

“I am not the world’s biggest fan of flowers,” he noted.

As for where he thought the city could improve?

“I think there’s some simple changes we can make on roads. Just changing the way we get on, mostly the highway approaches,” he said.

“And I think we need a performing-arts centre. I supported it last time around and I think

this is a better proposal. It can’t be all be about curling rinks and arenas and baseball diamonds.”

Although the proposed arts centre was not up for discussion, as it is not part of the budget process, the city did provide a table in the back of the room where people could ask questions and chat with communications staff.

Bryan Strome came to the meeting to discuss ongoing issues in his neighbourhood of Sagebrush (South Kamloops).

Most notably, he is worried about congestion along Sixth Avenue, Fraser Street and Ninth Avenue. He was able to voice those concerns, but is concerned that they are landing on deaf ears.

“They’re aware of it, but they keep putting in projects in the Ninth Avenue/Fraser Street area. It’s getting congested,” he said.

Mayor Ken Christian said he was pleased with the quality of discussion and said he had spoken with about 15 people.

Issues he encountered included concerns from seniors on a fixed income now facing tax increases (which he called “a very valid point”), additional recreation services, transit and how the city’s various sectors share the collective tax burden.

Christian said the more immediately solvable issues — like a cadet hall or more pickleball courts — will be addressed in February at the supplemental budget item meeting.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 6:30 PM Tuesday December 3, 2019 Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality Council gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing at Cahilty Hotel & Suites, 3220 Village Way, Sun Peaks, BC, to consider proposed Bylaw Nos. 0143, 2019 and 0144, 2019.

A car recently stolen from a residential driveway after it was left idling to warm up has Kamloops Mounties warning drivers to not leave vehicles running and unattended.

This theft is the only report of a running, unlocked vehicle being stolen Kamloops RCMP have received this month, Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW. During the colder months, however, police tend to see more

of these type of thefts occurring as residents warm up their vehicles or leave them running as they pop into a store.

Personal information and garage door openers can often be found in a vehicle, which Shelkie warned can give thieves access to homes.

According to section 191 of the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act, “a motor vehicle must be equipped with a lock or other device to prevent the

unauthorized use of the motor vehicle” and “a driver must not permit a motor vehicle to stand unattended or parked unless the driver has locked it or made it secure in a manner that prevents its unauthorized use.”

Those contravening that section of the law — which appears to refer to vehicles unlocked and not running — face a fine of $81.

Shelkie said the owner of the stolen vehicle wasn’t fined.

Probe finds AggregateIQ violated privacy laws SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Victoria-based data analytics company once engaged by a Kamloops MLA has been found to have violated Canada’s privacy laws by engaging in micro-targeted political advertising without consent.

By using and disclosing the personal information of millions of voters, AggregateIQ failed to meet its obligations under Canadian privacy laws, according to the results of a joint investigation conducted by the B.C. and federal privacy commissioners.

The investigation concerned AIQ’s involvement in political campaigns around the world, including work in pro-Brexit campaigns in the United Kingdom and U.S. political campaigns.

In B.C., AIQ’s wrongdoings also included work with a provincial political party, candidates in the 2017 provincial election, a municipal slate in the 2018 local elections and a candidate for the leadership of a provincial party.

That leadership candidate was KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Todd Stone, who in a bid to win the B.C. Liberal party leadership, had 1,349 prospective party members disqualified from voting.

The privacy commissioners’ findings note that in working on B.C. campaigns, AggregateIQ

either “took no measures to verify that there was appropriate consent it could rely on or, … relied on consent that was not sufficient to cover all of AIQ’s activities.”

Stone said AIQ only provided “very basic website and social media services” during his 2018 leadership campaign and said he has not had dealings with the firm since.

“I was not aware then and I’m not aware today of any wrongdoing with respect to any of the services they provided to us,” he told KTW, adding nobody from either the provincial or federal privacy commissioner offices had contacted him regarding the investigation.

But Stone said AIQ did make a “poor judgment call” when it created a list of fake email addresses to be associated with the 1,349 members who were later be disqualified by B.C. Liberal party officials during the party’s leadership race.

Asked if AIQ provided his campaign with any micro-targeting advertising or communication services, Stone said, “Not that I’m aware of.”

When AIQ was first criticized for its links to Cambridge Analytica, Stone defended his use of the company and said he stands by that defence.

“The company did the work we asked of them and they did it very well,” he said.

“I can’t comment on what a company does with other clients outside

the province or the country. All I can speak to is what they did for us.”

AIQ created a customer relationship management tool called Ripon for a SCL Elections Ltd., the parent company of disgraced data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica.

The tool collected and stored “vast amounts” of voter data that included psychographic profiles, ethnicity and religion, political donation history, birth dates, email addresses, magazine subscriptions, association memberships, inferred incomes, home ownership information and vehicle ownership details, according to the OIPC report.

“Individuals would not have expected that their personal information would be disclosed to Facebook for the purpose of delivering political advertising.

Nor would they have expected their information to be analyzed for the purposes of identifying people with similar characteristics,” the report reads.

During a press conference in Vancouver on Tuesday, Daniel Therrien, Canada’s privacy commissioner, and Michael McEvoy, B.C.’s privacy commissioner, both reiterated the investigation focused on AIQ, not its clients.

The commissioners recommended, and AIQ agreed, to implement measures to ensure it obtains valid consent in the future and that it

delete all personal information that is no longer needed for legal or business purposes.

Jeff Silvester, chief operating officer for AggregateIQ, said the company has fully cooperated with the com-

missioners, and also tried to help them and their staff understand how privacy rules can operate in real life.

Canadian and British Columbia laws provide for a company in B.C. to rely on the consent

obtained by their clients in whatever jurisdiction they operate, he said.

AggregateIQ did that, Silvester said, but the commissioners did not agree the consent was “meaningful enough.’’

Had it not been for the

AggregateIQ’s involvement as a B.C. company, the actions would not have been deemed unlawful, he said.

“Our clients were doing nothing wrong,” he said.

Parkades free on Saturdays into summer 2020 JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Parking at two downtown parkades will remain free on Saturdays, at least for now.

On Tuesday, Coun.

Mike O’Reilly made a motion to delay charging fees on Saturdays at the Lansdowne and Seymour street parkades once the city assumes management of them in the new year.

Since 1975, the Kamloops Downtown Parking Corporation had been operating the city-owned parking structures.

City community and protective services director Byron McCorkell told KTW charging on Saturdays would bring the parkades in line with the rest of city downtown parking, including lots at Heritage House at Riverside Park and at the former Kamloops Daily News property, which the city purchased from Glacier Media in 2014.

Adding pay parking in the parkades on Saturdays would also net the city between $62,000 and $78,000 per year in parking revenues, money that would go toward future

parking equipment needs, such as kiosks, gates or repairs.

O’Reilly, however, said the increase should align with a citywide parking management plan, which is expected to be completed July 2020.

“It makes sense for us to do it at one time,” he said.

Council agreed, with the motion to defer passing by a vote of 8-1. Only Mayor Ken Christian was opposed, arguing parkades will see changes in the new year that need to be funded.

The Seymour and Lansdowne parkades will be changing from a kiosk-attendant system to an automatic-gated setup.

McCorkell said that, under the current management group, the parkades have a maintenance reserve that is utilized.

As for the parking management plan, he said the city is currently working with a consultant.

The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association and business community will be consulted in the new year about needs and concerns, with a draft expected in June and the plan to be ratified

Q: HOW MUCH DOES THE CITY SPEND ON PARKING ENFORCEMENT AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COLLECT IN ANNUAL REVENUES? A: According to the city’s finance department, the city’s three-year average in revenues collected for on-street parking in Kamloops, from 2015 to 2018, was $1.6 million per year.

Parking enforcement — which includes officers, maintaining equipment and signage — is $1.4 million. The balance goes into a reserve, which is spent on maintaining or purchasing equipment. As of Jan. 1, the city’s parking reserve balance was $345,000.

the following month.

In supporting the deferral, Coun. Arjun Singh said he does not

wish to delay the issue again next summer, with council continually kicking the issue

down the path.

Council also elected to defer the issue of parking rate increases

downtown, awaiting the parking management plan.

“Every successful

downtown has a parking problem because it’s successful,” Singh said.

be finalized next year, may detail need for a parkade in the next five to 10 years.

He said the issue with downtown parking is not with those who come to shop or for entertainment; it’s with employees.

“If that is the case, then a parkade is really about long-term parking, it’s not about onehour short-term parking,” McCorkell said.

While other communities have an abundance of underground parking, that is not the case in downtown Kamloops.

Asked if the city could require buildings to include parking for employees, McCorkell said zoning in the 1960s allowed buildings to be constructed without parking in order to maximize square footage.

The business community later came forward, noting a shortage of 500 stalls, 380 of which were built.

“As we move forward now, we do have a situation where we have lots of parking downtown, but we do have demand issues in some areas, which the traffic plan showed,” McCorkell said.

He said one solution is putting a premium on parking in areas of highest demand.

He added it is cheaper to park downtown than it is to take a bus.

from city hall.

The 5,400-seat Sandman Centre was built with 300 stalls and the objective was to have vehicles use street parking and parkades and get people to come downtown.

“The theory has always been a 10-minute walk to a Blazer game is not to be unexpected,” McCorkell said.

“So, now you come to a performing-arts centre, why would we go away from that?

There was at the previous iteration of this discussion in the community about the need for a parkade downtown.

“That was hotly contested in that the community did not necessarily agree that there needed to be a parkade. The theatre, in and of itself, we’re looking at no differently than Sandman.

“If you go to an event there, we would encourage you to go down and park downtown, in the parkades or wherever.”

As for what happens on a night when both a hockey game and theatre show are held, McCorkell said with more than 5,000 private and public parking stalls downtown, there is a lot of parking downtown, noting not every person attending the events will be driving.

There are many families at this time of year who need a little extra help to have a memorable and positive holiday season — and the Salvation Army is doing what it can with its Adopt-A-Family program.

Unfortunately, there are still about 10 families the Salvation Army is hoping to pair up with donors.

“People struggle to pay their regular bills on a monthly basis,” said Capt. Kelly Fifield, core officer at Salvation Army Kamloops, noting the additional costs associated with the holiday season can create a struggle.

“Our hope and our goal in this program is to be able to support them with Christmas so it doesn’t have to be a burden on them.”

Families have applied to the Salvation Army to receive a Christmas hamper — either a food hamper providing dinner for singles and couples or a hamper with food and gifts for a family with children.

Parents have included a wish list for their children so donors know what types of gifts to consider.

Meals are provided through a $60 gift card to the family’s preferred grocery store. Fifield explained that because of cultural and religious dietary requirements, gift cards are a better choice than simply buying ingredients for Christmas dinner.

She also noted that not everyone has access to a deep freeze to store a turkey until it’s time to be prepared.

Those donating gifts for the children of these families are asked to keep the value of presents to a maximum of $125 per child. Fifield recommends purchasing a

primary gift and a smaller secondary gift, with perhaps a sweater or another clothing item added to the list.

Donors are asked to not wrap gifts.

“It allows the parents to wrap the gift,” she said, which allows moms and dads to feel more connected to the experience and know in advance what their children will be receiving on Christmas morning.

Fifield said the limit on gift purchases is implemented to ensure money is most effectively spread through the community and acts as a reminder that Christmas is about more than excess.

“Christmas is about family,” she said.

“Christmas is about coming together and it’s a wonderful thing when there can be a couple of gifts under the tree on Christmas morning.”

An online reporting tool was rolled out on Nov. 20, allowing Kamloops residents to report minor crime with the click of a mouse.

After seven days, 10 incidents were reported online: four instances of mischief and two each for lost property, theft from a motor vehicle and theft under $5,000.

Over the same period, Kamloops Mounties received

a total of 823 complaints, 94 of which could have been reported online.

“So far, we have not experienced any problems with the program, technically or otherwise,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said.

Police are asking for the public’s help in finding a man last seen at his home on Saturday, Nov. 23.

Rohel, who is believed to have gang ties, has been in custody since Oct. 18, when he was arrested on an unrelated murder charge.

Troy Gold, active in the city’s drug trade, was reported missing in October 2018. His remains were later found in the Lac du Bois area north of Kamloops.

Last month, police arrested Rohel, Nathan Townsend, Jayden Eustache, Sean Scurt and John Daviss.

Each man is charged with second-degree murder in connection with Gold’s death.

Gold’s murder was the first in a series of bloody gang-related incidents in Kamloops spanning a five-month period.

On Jan. 23 of this year, two men were shot to death outside separate Kamloops hotels. On Feb. 15, two people were shot in a Brocklehurst apartment.

One of them died, while another suffered gunshot wounds to the face.

Holiday Services Today!

Keep your natural tree fresh this year Natural Christmas tree aficionados love the authenticity such trees provide during the holiday season.

Natural trees also provide a unique aroma that can make holiday celebrations feel more homey.

When purchasing natural trees, holiday celebrants, especially those who like to buy their trees in early December, may be concerned about keeping their trees fresh throughout the holiday season.

The following tips can help trees last until the final present is unwrapped and the last of the eggnog has been consumed: • Buy a freshly cut tree. Whenever possible, celebrants should cut their own trees.

This ensures the tree they bring home is fresh, increasing the chances it will remain so throughout the season. Trees that appear to be dried out or those that shed needles when touched should be avoided.

• Protect trees on the way home. The Tree Care Industry Association advises consumers to protect their Christmas trees as they transport them home.

Wrap the tree in a plastic wrap so it makes it home damage-free. A damaged tree might not make it through the holiday season.

• Cut pre-cut trees before leaving the lot.

Pre-cut trees can make it through the holiday season looking their best, but buyers should request that employees cut as much as two inches off the bottom of the tree before leaving the lot.

Once trees are cut, sap begins to seal their base, making it hard for them to absorb water.

By requesting that between one and two inches be removed from the bottom of the tree at the time of purchase, buyers are ensuring their trees will be able to absorb the water they’ll need to make it through the season when they get home.

• Place the tree in water the moment you get home. To prevent the base of the tree from drying out, place it in water the moment you get home.

Freshly cut trees may initially need the water in their tree stands filled in the morning and then again in the evening. As the season progresses, trees likely won’t need their stands filled more than once per day.

• Place the tree away from heat sources.

Placing trees away from heat sources, such as radiators, fireplaces, heating vents, and lights, reduces the likelihood that trees will dry out and also reduces the risk of fire.

Australia: Taking in an outback experience MARGARET DEEFHOLTS

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

I

t is a balmy December night and Australia’s sky is a thicket of stars — the Southern Cross seemingly at arm’s reach.

A marmalade moon has risen over a cluster of gum trees.

In a clearing before me, an enormous campfire crackles, spitting pinpoints of light into the darkness.

I am in New South Wales, visiting a tiny town on the fringe of the Blue Mountains.

It would seem as though the entire population has turned out tonight, their children romping hand-in-hand around a bonfire.

Teenagers huddle in groups around the fringes. Adults, ranging from 30-something couples to seniors, gather to clap their hands to the rhythm of a band on a small stage.

A lone crooner belts out country and western ballads, a few Christmas carols and gospel music as the audience joins in.

It’s a big, happy party — Aussie-style.

It’s not quite what I had expected to find. I had come to this event after spotting an advertisement in a local newspaper; I was expecting to see an aboriginal music and dance festival — a corroboree.

It’s an event seldom staged in an urban setting and one I am curious to see.

As the evening progresses, Elvis impersonators give way to amateur talent from the audience and I grow restive.

I think to myself, maybe the word “corroboree” has been used in a broad generic sense to denote an Australian community celebration.

Then, the stage lights dim and go out completely. Kids

TOURISM AUSTRALIA PHOTO Dancers perform during a corroboree, an event where Australian aboriginals interact with the Dreamtime through dance, music and costume. Their bodies are painted in different ways and they wear various adornments, special for the occasion.

settle down with their parents and the night, apart from a light breeze rustling among trees, is silent, expectant. The lone sound is the distant call of a night bird and the whine of a mosquito chasing my ear.

Light from a bonfire throws the circle of faces into relief. The thrum of a didgeridoo — whum, whum, whum, wah — pausewhum, whum whum, wah… swells across the darkness.

Figures emerge, feet stamping in rhythm.

At first, they appear as black silhouettes against orange

flames and then, as they draw nearer, I see more clearly — faces dotted mask-like in white chalk, torsos decorated with circular designs and hand imprints, orange loin-cloths and string fringes tied around their legs.

This is an aboriginal hunting ritual. The men move slowly in rhythm, joining in a circle around an iguana — a large lizard that inhabits the Australian bush.

The “iguana man” moves on his belly, creeping forward, retreating apprehensively, his

movements smooth and reptilian. Hunters crouch, waving their staves and boomerangs and uttering high-pitched calls of encouragement to one another.

The rhythm accelerates and, suddenly, it is over.

The iguana, pierced, lies dead as hunters leap, then crouch, knocking their knees together in a jubilant dance.

The audience goes wild.

A woman next to me explains that in aborigine dream world mythology, the iguana is regarded with respect because it brings

sustenance to their people living in the arid outback.

I want to ask where I can verify her story, but my attention is drawn again to the clearing.

This time, the dance troupe, now impersonating a flock of emus, delicately picks its way around the flicker of firelight.

Hands clasped behind their backs, their elbows akimbo, the dancers flap their “wings” and occasionally raise an arm, Z-like before their faces, capturing the pecking movement of a bird’s head. The crowd claps in rhythm to the drone of the didgeridoo.

A young boy is irrestibly drawn into their midst. Not missing a step, the dancers surround him, urging on his efforts to imitate them.

For the next hour, I am drawn into a different world — a world of myth and spiritual rituals, a world as simple and as complex as the creation of Earth and its creatures, a world of tribal loyalty, rivalry, initiation rites and survival in the raw Australian outback.

There are no words, no songs, no explanations during this performance. Only the movement of lithe bodies, facial expressions, gestures and whoops of joy or sorrow enacted in shadow play against the flames and primordial glitter of stars.

My absorption in the performance is so intense that I have blotted out the audience on the fringes.

It is only when the final act brings a roar of applause and dancers wave their spears above their heads that I find myself reminded I am part of this urban audience — spectators to a staged show.

Seaside reflections shared with students TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

hen he was 17, Brian Rockvam, inspired by memories of summers spent at the family cabin on the Sunshine Coast, decided to put those thoughts and feelings down on paper as a poem.

Eight years later, that poem is now a book, Seaside Summer, which has been published

by FriesenPress in Victoria.

“It kind of just sat on the back burner for awhile,” Rockvam said. “And then this year I hooked up with FriesenPress in Victoria and found an illustrator. “Then it just took off from there.”

When Rockvam first crafted the poem, he had no plans to do anything more with it and was content to file it away and carry on with his life. It was his mother who felt there could be more to the poem.

“My mom had always thought that it was a lot better than I thought it was,” Rockvam said. “I looked at it again after all these years and thought, ‘This was something people would actually like and relate to.’”

Students at Westmount elementary, where Rockvam read his poem on Thursday, seemed to agree. Many showed their appreciation for the visiting author by telling him how much they enjoyed his book. When Rockvam asked how many students were interested in writing or drawing, the response was loud.

Though Rockvam is hoping to visit other

schools in the district, Westmount is his first and is a natural fit.

“My mom used to teach there and she has a few teacher friends that are still there,” he said. “Just through social media, they showed an interest. That got kicked off that way.”

Rockvam acknowledged the talented work of illustrator Emily Bourke of Victoria, noting the solid collaboration despite never meeting in person.

“The way she portrayed it was just the way that I imagined it,” he said of her illustrations.

“It wasn’t like a foreign person who did this that I don’t know. It felt like, through her work, I knew her.”

Rockvam doesn’t have any writing projects nearing completion, but does want to continue working in his craft. While he is not opposed to creating another children’s book, his end goal is to publish a novel or poetry collection.

“I actually never really saw myself as being a children’s author,” Rockvam said. “It was always novels or poetry.”

NO NEED TO BUILD A DECK

Keyforge/A28

For now, the readership is represented by those he met on Thursday, the pre-teen crowd with an interest in writing and illustrating.

And that was part of the reason for Rockvam’s visit — to introduce students to the idea that anyone can be an author, that there are writers in their city who can visit them at their school or bump into them on the street, that one day, perhaps a 17-year-old version of themselves will put pen to paper and begin the creation of their own book.

Film society eyes challenges ahead at Paramount SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

om Friedman’s 10th year with the Kamloops Film Society will be an interesting one.

At the society’s annual general meeting held Monday, he spoke to about a dozen fellow cinephiles in attendance.

“When we all met last year, no one could have predicted that we’d be sitting in our own theatre here tonight,” he said.

Friedman was speaking from home turf — the Paramount Theatre acquired in April by the Kelson Group, who purchased the property and named the

society its operator.

The society set a goal to secure a reliable venue in 2016 and now that it has acquired one, it’s facing up against a new reality.

“It’s not going to be easy. It’s full of challenges,” Friedman said.

Part of those challenges include adjusting to a new operating schedule. Before, the society welcomed patrons for its Thursday film series and for its festival typically held for about 10 days in March each year.

Now, it has quickly scaled up from two days a week to five days a week, and eyes are on even further expansion — when the time is right.

KFS executive director and theatre manager Dusan Magdolen said the society’s situation before and its situation now is like comparing apples to camels. Now, the society has more to concern itself with: rentals, concession, utilities, salaries and ongoing building maintenance.

While the Paramount has provided a home for KFS, it has also created some financial vulnerabilities. The theatre was built in 1955 and an additional theatre was added in 1977. Combined, the two seat an audience of about 770.

“We’re dealing with a boiler from the 1950s and the reality is,

the life of that boiler is limited,” he said.

The boiler would be one major expense. Projection equipment would be another — and about $14,000 was already spent on maintaining that equipment.

Complicating the maintenance issue is that the society’s financials are now completely up in the air, with a host of new line items hitting the budget this year and newfound revenue and expenses.

“This was frustrating for us in general, taking over midway through a fiscal year. There’s no way we can judge. That’s been a real challenge,” Friedman said.

One change that may help ease the society’s access to funds is its bid for charitable status.

Friedman said the application was made in October and he’s confident it will succeed.

“If we have charitable status, we can give donors a tax writeoff, and that’s a really big plus.

We have very generous people in the community, but the tax write-off means a lot,” he said.

In terms of day-to-day operations, Magdolen said not much will change as far as the audience is concerned, except maybe a new ticketing kiosk in the lobby and the addition of one or two new staff in the new year, if finances allow.

Buzz for local book signing KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

L

ocal author Elaine Sedgman will be at Chapters on Sunday to sign a copy of her children’s book, A Bee Named BOB. The 14-page book is Sedgman’s first and she also provided its illustrations.

It was born out of her passion for pollinators and her desire to tell the story of a lesser known bee — Osmia lignaria, sometimes known as a mason bee or a blue orchard bee — BOB, for short.

“Honey bees get the most attention, for sure,” she told KTW in May. “When people think of a bee, they think of a honey bee or bumblebee — or a wasp and getting stung.”

Instead, Sedgman wanted to focus on a bee that was native to North America, so she chose

Osmia lignaria.

The book is intended for kids ages 8 to 10 and was developed based on presentations Sedgman did years ago to local teachers about the importance of pollinators.

Her interest in the species grew from local bee studies, which she participated in as a citizen scientist, organizing workshops and doing pollinator counts on behalf of the Thompson Shuswap Master Gardeners in conjunction with researchers at Thompson Rivers University.

The event will take place at 1 p.m. on Dec. 1 at Kamloops Chapters, 1395 Hillside Dr. In addition to signing her book, Sedgman will also be ready to discuss bee condos and creating ideal environments for pollinators.

No need to build a deck with Keyforge

J

umping into a card game can be a daunting task.

Some games require a significant amount of time building the best deck possible, and a large amount of money to either buy booster packs or the single cards you want.

Keyforge avoids those issues.

Keyforge is a unique card game created by Richard Garfield (yes, the same man who created Magic: The Gathering) and is published

by Fantasy Flight Games.

In Keyforge, you take the role of an Archon, a mystical being of immense power fighting for control of The Crucible (the world where Keyforge takes place).

To play, all you need is two 36-card Archon decks, tokens and of course an opponent.

The goal is to be the first player to forge three keys. To do this, you must collect the resource of The Crucible, Aember. When you collect six Aember tokens you can forge a key on your next turn.

Do this two more times and victory is yours.

To help you succeed, you will play artifacts, actions and creatures from your deck. Not only can creatures fight for you, but they have the ability to reap Aember, which adds Aember to your pool, used to forge keys.

Because Keyforge is about collecting Aember rather than crushing your opponent, it feels more like a game of tug-of-war rather

HAYES STOLAR

COMIC KAM

than a race to the finish line.

I call this unique card game because every single deck ever printed for Keyforge is 100 per cent unique.

Unlike most card games, in Keyforge there is no deck building.

When you open up a new Archon deck, the deck you get is what you have to use. Each Archon deck has a unique combination of 36 cards, a unique name (my personal favourite that I own is named ‘The Tracker that Trains Sorrow‘) and a unique design on the back so that you don’t mix up

any of your cards (and it also looks super cool).

This is possible thanks to a computer algorithm that Fantasy Flight Games developed that makes sure no two decks are ever the same. The company claims that with the current pool of cards, there exists 104 quadrillion possible decks.

Keyforge thematically has a little something for everyone.

Archon decks are built from 36 cards, 12 cards of three different “houses.”

Currently, there are nine houses in Keyforge, with more on the way, and each has a distinct theme and play style.

For example, house Shadow consists of dark elf assassins that steal Aember from your opponent or poison their creatures.

And then there is house Sanctum, consisting of heavily armoured cyber knights with laser swords who excel at healing and protecting your Aember from your opponent. There is also house Mars, consisting of Martians and other alien creatures, clearly inspired from War of the Worlds or Mars Attacks.

Keyforge is an easily accessible and unique card game experience that you will want to play over and over to learn what secrets The Crucible holds.

Hayes Stolar can be found behind the counter at High Octane Comics. For more, visit 250 Third Ave. or call 250-377-8444.

Storm catching wind?

Kamloops Storm goaltender Jakob Drapeau cracked last week’s edition of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League three stars.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

For a brief moment, the Kamloops Storm dragged themselves out of the Doug Birks Division basement.

They earned two victories on the road last weekend — 3-2 over Spokane (11-12-0-2) on Friday and 6-4 over the Castlegar Rebels (6-12-0-0) on Saturday — to inch ahead of the Sicamous Eagles.

Sicamous has since caught Kamloops and the teams are tied for last place in the division, but the Storm have shifted focus to catching the

100 Mile House Wranglers.

“We’ve been champing at it to find some momentum all year,” Storm head coach Steve Gainey told KTW. “It’s been an interesting battle of why and why nots.

“We’ve tried to stay positive, even through some real challenging times. We’re hoping last weekend is enough to get us in

that place where we start to turn the corner and become the team we’ve expected to be for most of this year.”

Birks Division standings: Revelstoke (33 points), Chase (30 points), 100 Mile (27 points), Sicamous (17 points) and Kamloops (17 points). The top four teams qualify for the postseason.

Gainey cited improving special teams, noting signs last weekend suggest both the power-play and penalty-killing units are starting to meld.

The Storm scored three goals on five power-play attempts and successfully killed eight of nine

opposition power plays.

Kamloops has the 19th-ranked power play and 14th-ranked penalty kill in the 20-team Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

“Our penalty kill has been strong for a few weeks, but it hasn’t been paying off quite yet for us,” Gainey said. “It was good on the weekend and our power play finally clicked.

“I think we’re going to start to see a few more wins, with shaving a few off the PK and picking up a few on the power play.

“It might just be enough to get us past those one-goal games we’ve been having.”

Storm goaltender Jakob Drapeau was named the league’s third star of the week for the period ending last Sunday.

The Prince George product stopped 54 of 60 shots, posting a .900 save percentage and 3.00 goals-against average.

Kamloops will play the Posse (10-10-1-2) in Princeton on Friday.

The Wranglers will be in the Tournament Capital on Sunday.

Game time is 5 p.m. at Memorial Arena.

“Now we turn our sights up to the team just above us, 100 Mile, and we get to play them this Sunday, so we’re excited about that,” Gainey said.

The Kamloops Blazers on Wednesday traded 19-year-old defenceman Luke Zazula to the TriCity Americans in exchange for a second- and third-round pick in the 2021 WHL Bantam Draft.

“With our defence corps, with our young guys, and even Inaki Baragano (18) being a rookie and Ethan Brandwood (17), we felt we needed to give them some ice time and, for Luke, for him to get the quality minutes he’d like to get, I’m not sure it would be able to happen here consistently,” said Blazers’ gen-

eral manager Matt Bardsley, noting Tri-City was looking for someone to help out on its power play.

Kamloops selected Zazula in Round 4 of the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft. He racked up eight goals and 50 points in 168 games with the club.

Bardsley spoke to the value of the acquired draft picks.

“This year, we have a first, a second, three thirds and two fourths,” he said, referencing the 2020 bantam draft. “Next year, we have a first, two seconds, two thirds … it gives us flexibility if we need to make another move.

“They are going to help us in the short term or the long term.”

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW TRU WolfPack forward Anton Bilous played the hero last Saturday at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Big-shot Bilous, WolfPack to host Huskies at TCC MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Anton Bilous backed himself.

He missed the first shot, so he jacked up another one.

The TRU WolfPack fifthyear forward from Cherkassy, Ukraine, made good on No. 2, a three-point dagger with less than 40 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of a Canada West men’s basketball tilt against the UNBC Timberwolves of Prince George last Saturday at the TCC. TRU held strong on defence, Richard Mageto connected on two free throws and the Pack won 82-77.

“He’s got the green light to shoot that shot,” WolfPack head coach Scott Clark told KTW. “We have a ranking on our team. They have to shoot 200 threes in order to move up one spot. He’s at the top. And he’s a fifth-year guy.”

Bilous was flanked by talented teammate Rojhae Colbert, but chose to keep in the 2-on-1 situation.

“I saw Rojhae, one of our best rebounders, under the bas-

ket and the guy was closing out to me,” Bilous said. “I thought, if I miss, he’ll get the rebound, but I missed short and was fortunate to grab the rebound.

“Either Joe [Davis] or Mike [Rouault] set a really good screen. I thought it was the best look we would get, so I shot it.”

Fans erupted when it dropped.

“It feels good, but it was all about those three stops at the end of the game,” Bilous said.

“That was the differential.”

The Timberwolves edged the WolfPack 78-76 the night before.

“We got TRU last night,” said Timberwolves’ guard Tyrell Laing, who made a clutch threepointer of his own to put the visitors up 74-71 on Saturday.

“They came out pretty hungry tonight.”

Bilous answered Laing’s rainbow with his own thing of beauty from beyond the arc to tie the game at 75-75.

UNBC pulled ahead 77-75, but 6-foot-5 TRU guard Tyus De Vries froze his man and calmly drained a mid-range jumper to level the score and set the stage for Bilous’ heroics.

“It feels good to contribute,”

De Vries said. “Anton is going to get a lot of the credit and he deserves it. That was a big shot.

“We’ve lost two games by two points this season and it sucks.

To close out a game and win by five is really good.”

If Clark had his way, talk after the game would be focused on a stout defensive performance.

“The problem is we gave up 77,” he said. “If the guys will play better defensively, it takes the pressure off of your offence.”

Bilous shouldered a good portion of that pressure, finishing the contest with a teamhigh 17 points, and helped push his squad’s record to 6-2.

UNBC dropped to 4-4.

“We wanted to get two, of course, but on the road in Canada West, it’s tough to come in and sweep a team, especially one the calibre of TRU,” said Laing, who recorded a gamehigh 28 points.

The WolfPack will play host to the Saskatchewan Huskies (5-1) this weekend at the TCC. Game time is 5 p.m. on Friday. The rematch is slated for 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Canada drops in CONCACAF rankings NEIL DAVIDSON

CANADIAN PRESS

As expected, Canada has dropped out of the top six of CONCACAF countries in the latest FIFA rankings.

The 73rd-ranked Canadians, who slipped four spots in the November numbers, will hope to gain ranking points during the next two international windows to catch No. 69 El Salvador and shorten their World Cup qualifying road. But it will be a tough task and the Canadians will need help to catch their Central American rival.

The top six teams in CONCACAF come the June rankings will move into the Hex, the most direct World Cup qualifying route out of the region. The Hex round will send three teams from CONCACAF, which covers North and Central America

and the Caribbean, to Qatar in 2022.

Teams ranked seventh through 35th in the region will have to fight it out in a separate qualifying bracket with the last team standing moving on to face the fourth-placed Hex team to determine who advances to an intercontinental World Cup qualifying playoff.

The latest rankings have El Salvador (1,346 points, up 10) sixth among CONCACAF countries while Canada (1,331 points, down eight) is seventh.

No. 80 Curacao, just behind Canada among CONCACAF countries, dropped 10 points to 1,313 as it fell four places.

Canada will have to win its friendly matches and hope El Salvador loses.

Canada moved up six spots to No. 69 — good for sixth spot in CONCACAF — in the October rankings after a historic 2-0 win

over the U.S. on Oct. 15 in Toronto. But the Americans rallied for a 4-1 victory in the Nov. 15 rematch in Orlando, and then won League A Group A by defeating Cuba 4-0.

While the Canadians stumbled, El Salvador blanked the Dominican Republic 2-0 and Montserrat 1-0 — thanks to a 91stminute goal — to win League B Group B. El Salvador won five of its six CONCACAF Nations League outings.

“We’ve got to be optimistic ... We’ve left it to the gods, the football gods, to some degree,’’ Canada coach John Herdman said after the U.S. loss.

“We’re going to have to make our luck maybe in the March FIFA window and then in the June window. I mean that’s reality, to pick up the FIFA rankings points,’’ he added.

Canada can play two matches in each

international window, with some geographical restrictions. It can also schedule matches outside the FIFA windows, but such games are worth half the ranking points and it will be harder to get clubs to release players.

Mexico, at No. 11, is the top-ranked CONCACAF team, followed by the 22ndranked Americans, No. 46 Costa Rica, No. 48 Jamaica and No. 62 Honduras.

All five should be assured of their spot in the Hex, with El Salvador looking to stave off Canada and join them. With 1,377 points, Honduras is 29 points ahead of El Salvador and 46 ahead of Canada.

Belgium will end the year atop the rank-

ings after winning all 10 of its games in 2019.

Retaining its year-end No. 1 spot, Belgium extended its lead over World Cup champion France going into a fourmonth break for the top national teams.

Brazil, England and Uruguay fill out the top five. World Cup runner-up Croatia is No. 6, trading places with European champion Portugal at No. 7.

Spain, Argentina and Colombia complete the top 10.

Senegal is Africa’s top team at No. 20. No. 28 Japan replaces Iran as Asia’s highest ranked team.

World Cup host Qatar moved up two spots to No. 55 after winning its latest qualifying game for the 2023 Asian Cup.

T

his past October I toured with the Rocky Mountain Rangers through Belgium and France.

We visited a variety of battlefields, cemeteries, and monuments to honour our fallen members and “own” our regimental history.

As I stood on the soil that witnessed terrible carnage and incredible heroism, I was overcome with gratitude for those men and women who answered the call to serve their nation.

While these battles happened over 100 years ago, I felt a connection between their sacrifices and my own present-day freedoms.

Connecting sacrifice with freedom is at the heart of the Christian faith, in particular, the Christian understanding of Jesus’ death.

While some people understand Jesus’ death as simply the unfortunate consequence of challenging the powerful, most Christians see Jesus’ death as more purposeful.

Jesus’ death is sometimes spoken of as God’s victory over “sin, death, and the devil.” Elsewhere it is understood as the righteous taking the place of the unrighteous, the innocent taking the place of the guilty. We commonly speak of Jesus ‘“dying for you and me.”

Understanding Jesus to be “taking our place” involves a few important assumptions. It assumes humanity has done wrong, it assumes God demands justice and

T

it assumes someone could make restitution and right all this wrong.

It is not hard to see that humanity has committed many wrongs.

In the past few decades, we’ve witnessed all sorts of crimes against humanity around the globe. In our own country, the Canadian government has acknowledged injustices on our soil, including the internment of Japanese Canadians and the creation of residential schools.

It is not hard to see where humanity has done wrong. We are particularly adept at noting the sins of our neighbours. We hear a story about a distracted driver flattening a pedestrian and we are furious.

Seeing our errors and mistakes is perhaps a little more difficult. We continue to text while we are driving until we are called out by our kids or pulled over by the police.

Weekend jail for trafficking MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops woman who sold small amounts of heroin laced with fentanyl to undercover police officers on two occasions in 2017 has been ordered to spend weekends incarcerated in cells at the RCMP’s detachment on Battle Street.

Anne-Marie Weisbeck, 54, was sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to one count of trafficking in a controlled substance.

Court heard Weisbeck found herself on police radar in the summer of 2017 after an informant turned over her name and phone number to the RCMP. Undercover Mounties called Weisbeck on Sept. 22, 2017, and said they were looking to score.

In a meeting near McArthur Island, Weisbeck sold the undercover investigators a “point of down” — one-tenth of a gram of heroin — for $20. Tests later

showed the substance contained fentanyl.

The next day, undercover officers called Weisbeck and arranged another meeting. There, officers purchased another point of heroin mixed with fentanyl and a fifth of a gram of methamphetamine.

Justice Len Marchand sentenced Weisbeck to a 90 days in jail, to be served every weekend beginning this Saturday. She also received 36 months of probation.

In sentencing Weisbeck, Marchand noted the fact she took responsibility for her actions by pleading guilty, expressed remorse, has reduced her own drug use and is maintaining fulltime employment.

Aggravating factors included the length of time Weisbeck had been selling drugs, the fact she ran a dial-a-dope operation and, whether she realized it or not, she was trafficking fentanyl, which is at the centre of the opioid crisis in Canada.

“She put her need to pay her

bills ahead of the lives of addicts,” Marchand said, noting Weisbeck should have been been aware of the risk the drugs could have been cut with the potent opioid.

Marchand said time behind bars was required, viewing the 90-day intermittent sentence in a holding cell at the police detachment as equivalent to a longer sentence served in a prison, while enabling Weisbeck to maintain her employment and seek additional help with her substanceuse recovery.

“In my view, supporting Weisbeck’s recovery will best protect public safety in the long run,” Marchand said.

The Crown had sought 19 months in jail, whereas Weisbeck’s defence counsel asked for a suspended sentence with the 36 months of probation.

In addition to the 90 days of jail time, Weisbeck was ordered to submit a sample of her DNA to a national criminal database and will be bound by a 10-year firearms prohibition.

B.C.’s top court to allow challenge KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

B.C.’s top court will allow a Kamloops killer to consult a lawyer after legal aid denied his application for a free appeal.

The B.C. Court of Appeal assigned a lawyer to work with Stephen Fraser, who was convicted last December of seconddegree murder in connection with the 2017 stabbing death

of Cody Foster.

Foster was found dead in a trailer in an RV park near the BC Wildlife Park in east Kamloops.

Fraser claimed at trial to have been acting in self-defence, but failed to sway a jury.

Fraser maintains his innocence and filed an appeal claiming prosecutors misled the jury during trial by describing Foster as being in a “vulnerable”

state due to an alarmingly high blood-alcohol level of .278.

B.C. Court of Appeal Justice John Hunter ruled on Wednesday that Fraser should have the right to review grounds of appeal with a lawyer, despite his application for legal aid being denied.

Hunter also ruled that Fraser can reset his application for appeal after talking to a lawyer.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Theresa Ediger

Grant Wayne St. Marie

On November 22, 2019, our beloved Theresa was taken home to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Grant Wayne St. Marie passed away on November 4, 2019 with his wife by his side.

He was predeceased by his mom Frances and dad Patrick. Grant was born on April 8, 1947 in Edson, Alberta.

We had her to love for so many years and she leaves behind a legacy of a life lived well for God, for all her family and friends to remember her by.

He is survived by his wife Noreen, sons Troy (Lisa), Trever (Trena), daughter Tanya, grandchildren Dexter (Taylia), Hayley (Colton), Lachanda, Faith and Amber (Jeremy), greatgrandchildren Santana, Karma, Sophia, Jayden and Taylor.

He also leaves behind his sister Patricia (Don), nephews Stephen and Michael, many other nieces and nephews, along with an abundance of good friends that were like extended family.

He worked in BC. and Alberta as a heavy duty mechanic. He worked on the Coquihalla from start to finish, where he met and married Noreen.

Grant and Noreen married in August 1989, then in September 1989 Grant moved to Dease Lake to work for the highways department, a year later Noreen and Tanya followed. After retiring he was a volunteer fireman, ambulance driver and guard for both Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek RCMP. He also drove part-time, driving the mail truck to Watson Lake, Telegraph Creek and Iskut.

Grant was always there if you needed a ride or help with your vehicle.

He will be missed by all that knew him.

A Division of Service Corporation International (Canada) ULC.

Dave Lumsden

She was always hospitable in so many ways, she loved having visitors and would help others whenever she could as long as she was able bodied to do so.

Theresa (Melita) Lehn, was born in the Southern Ukraine on July 26, 1925 and immigrated to Canada with her family in 1926, settling in Saskatchewan where her family farmed.

She met and married our father Jacob in 1946, and remained in Saskatchewan where all five of their children were born. In 1966, they moved to Oliver, BC where they worked in Taxidermy and in 1971 moved to Kamloops to establish Tru-Life Taxidermy on their own and made many friendships through the business and their church fellowship.

Our mom was hard working and joyful because she knew God’s blessings in her life and she was so loveable!

When our father went home to be with the Lord, mom moved to Ponderosa Apartments where she enjoyed many happy years making new friends and being visited by old friends.

Due to a decline in her health in 2018, she moved to The Hamlets in Westsyde where she was embraced by the residents and staff she got to know there and we thank you all for that!

Our family would like to thank Dr. Ritenburg and Dr. Cribb, for your kind and compassionate care of our mother, the Interior Health Care Aids, the hospital staff on 7-North and 4-North and in her final hours on this earth those at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for your respectful and tender care of her. She truly appreciated everything that you did for her.

She was predeceased by her husband of 56 years Jacob, one grandson, three brothers, five sisters and her mother and father.

Her children left behind to remember her are: Edwin (Sally) Ediger, Eileen (Gerry) Lorentzen, Ruth (Ron) Popma, Daniel (Anna) Ediger, Carolyn (Al) Jordi, her sixteen grandchildren and fourteen greatgrandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Jacob (Elizabeth) Lehn.

A Celebration of Theresa’s Life will be held at Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC on Monday, December 9, 2019 at 2:30 pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you donate to a charity of your choice in her memory.

While the price difference for a cremation with NO Service is similar at most funeral homes in Kamloops, First Memorial is proud to have facilities to accommodate all of your needs, whether you choose a Celebration of Life or a full Traditional service. We can do it all at First Memorial.

Come talk to us and have a look around. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Zofia Cisowski It is with great sadness we share that Zofia Cisowski suddenly passed away on November 18, 2019 in Gliwice on her trip to Poland. She was 73 years old.

Zofia was born in Kuchary, Poland on September 13, 1946, the daughter of Maria and Leonard Dziekanski. She is survived by her brother Zdzieslaw Dziekanski, his wife Teresa and her niece Katarzyna.

Zofia immigrated to Canada in 1999 and settled in Logan Lake where she got married. Eventually, she found her way to Kamloops, where she enjoyed her life being an active member of her church and other communities (including the Polish – Canadian community).

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dave Lumsden “Grumpa” on November 14, 2019 at 71 years of age.

Her life revolved around her family whom she loved so dearly and when you had to leave, she would always say, “come again sometime”!

In 2007, she sponsored her son Robert Dziekanski.

Unfortunately, their reunion in Canada was cut short. On October 14, 2007, due to the unfortunate circumstances and unjustified RCMP intervention, Robert died at the Vancouver Airport.

Missing him dearly, Dave is survived by his loving wife of 50 years Gail and his children Sean (Christin) and Jessica. Dave will also be fondly remembered by his granddaughters Kailey and Lauren, by his brothers Ronnie (Beryl), John (Liz) and by his sisters Betty and Laurine. Dave was recently predeceased by his sister Patricia.

Thanks to Zofia’s advocacy for justice, the policy of Taser use by RCMP has been modified, resulting in fewer deaths.

He will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him

Rest in peace. Spoczywaj w pokoju wiecznym.

In the memory of her son the Robert Dziekanski Scholarship has been created at Thompson Rivers University.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

The tears of grief Have washed away The clouds of sorrow, And vision now is clarified I miss you still, But see you new In light of joy And smile at your remembrance.

Q. Is it true you can’t bury an urn in the winter?

!

A. Cemeteries make up their own rules.

Some won’t bury urns from October to April. Others will, but charge extra.

Some do it all year, and the fee’s the same. !

Drake DrakeCremation Cremation !

Zofia’s funeral will be held in Pieszyce, Poland on Friday, November 29, 2019.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Betty Jane (Myers) Cleroux Betty Jane (Myers) Cleroux was born on November 26, 1946 in Kansas City, Missouri. She lived in two places in her life: Rainy Lake-Fort Frances, Ontario and Kamloops, BC. She died from cancer in Hospice House eleven days before her 73rd birthday, her loving husband was by her side.

Betty was an amazing woman; wise, fun and inspiring.

She was raised in the Northwestern Ontario wilderness, homeschooled until high school. She graduated high school in Harrisonville, Missouri. She was scheduled to enroll in the U.S. Air Force, but that was not in the cards; she met the love of her life Phil Cleroux, while working as a waitress in Fort Frances and they married a short time later. She is survived by her husband of 53 years Phil Cleroux, daughter Mary MacDonald (Neil), son Jay Cleroux (Barb), six grandchildren Ben, Abbey, Jacob, Noah, Meghan and Alec and two dogs the “great golden one” Max and the grand-puppy Finn.

She is predeceased by her son William, her parents Bill and Mary Myers, her brother Billy Myers and sister-inlaw Madeleine Lindberg.

She and Phil moved from Fort Frances to Kamloops in October, 1973. She worked at a few places, but mostly stayed home to raise her children, which she did with an ardent passion and an unwavering belief in the sanctity of the job. Early on she satisfied her hunger for learning and helping others through various roles in the Catholic Church. She and Phil were heavily involved in the early years of St. John Vianney parish.

She completed the Human Service Worker program at Cariboo College and then earned her degree in Childcare from the University of Victoria beginning a long and satisfying career working as a counsellor with youth and adults. Through her twenty years or so in this field, she touched many lives and made many friends.

Her gift was in her ability to connect deeply with people, be authentic and ask curious questions. She didn’t dwell much on small talk and had an uncanny ability to get right to the good stuff in conversation.

People were drawn to her.

In 1992, she and Phil continued their love of the outdoors by buying a cabin at Sabiston Lake. They spent many happy years there until they decided to trade a cabin for an RV when they retired.

They travelled extensively through Mexico and the U.S., making many long-lasting friends through RVing.

In 2010, they bought a home in Buckeye, Arizona and spent the winters there, until they finally sold in 2018.

Phil and Betty lived their lives side by side, laughing, travelling, gardening, walking dogs and celebrating family occasions. It is hard to imagine one without the other. Her “Garden of Eden” in the backyard of her house will be where we remember her the most.

Every time the squirrels, birds, deer, bear, coyotes and garden snakes move through, we’ll think of her and smile. When the owl hoots, we’ll know it is her saying, “I love you.”

Pennies

From

Heaven I found a penny today,

Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found.

“Found” pennies come from heaven,

Rest in peace, mom. We’ll see you in a while.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Mavis Hollman and the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House for their love, care and attention. There are not enough words to express our gratitude.

That’s what my Grandpa told me

& CREMATION SERVICES

Make a smile out of your frown

He said angels toss them down;

So don’t pass by that penny,

There will be no service at this time, but donations in Betty’s name to Kamloops Hospice or the SPCA, would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, how I loved that story.

When you’re feeling blue

He said when an angel misses you,

It may be a penny from heaven

They toss a penny down

That an angel tossed to you.
