And, they’re not always women. Sometimes they are men being abused. Sometimes they are children who have been abused or have seen abuse happen. Often, victims are malnourished and the agency staff provides them with food. At other times, they may arrive with children in tow, so there’s a supply of toys and a special room where they can play. Eden said some of the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund money the KSACC will receive is earmarked for snacks and toys, two services that often help the client relax and begin to heal. It’s important to involve the male population in programming and counselling, Eden said, because in the case of women living with some kind of abuse, it’s often the man in her life perpetrating it. Ignoring the men, she noted, “is just ignoring 50 per cent of the equation.” All too often, the victim who does ask for help comes in feeling they created the problem. “It’s my fault. I’m to blame,” Eden said of the words she hears. “We try to help them find their voice and their empowerment. “We give them the opportunity to shift their own story about themselves and break that cycle.”

Charlene Eden knew there were people in Kamloops who would never walk into an agency and ask for help. The executive director of the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre (KSACC) said she can understand why there would be reluctance. It’s why one of the priorities for Eden when she took over the position earlier this year was to have an outreach program to send out counsellors to meet with people where they feel comfortable. Since they started doing that, she said, the number of people who have asked for help to recover from abuse has increased. It’s not easy to get funding for that kind of programming, Eden said, but it’s vital if the agency is going to help stop the cycles of violence and abuse in families and other relationships. The KSACC works with women, men, youth and children — its client range spans from three-year-olds to people in their 70s, she said — and, while the name points just to one kind of abuse, clients can be experiencing physical violence, criminal harassment and battering.

tea, sale Teller gambled away trust Christmas on Saturday afternoon CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Thompson Rivers University business student used his authorization as a bank teller to steal nearly $17,000 from his employer to spend at a local casino. David Hammond pleaded guilty in provincial court to theft over $5,000 and will be forced to repay the money while staying out of casinos for the next six months. Calling it a “considerable breach of trust,” Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo
“I don’t know where my head was.”
—DAVID HAMMOND
said Hammond made 16 withdrawals over about a six-week period beginning in September of 2014. He did so by creating an unauthorized overdraft on his chequing account. “He thought about paying it back once he made some money gambling,” Caputo said. Hammond had been on the job about three months. The 27-year-old told
judge Chris Cleaveley he took a year off from school, but wants to return. “I don’t know where my head was,” he told the sentencing judge. Hammond said he does not drink nor take drugs. He told the Crown he recognizes gambling is “toxic,” but he enjoys the social side of going to the casino. “Case law is people who do this [steal from an employer] go
to jail,” Cleaveley told him. But, the judge added, the lack of a criminal record, remorse and Hammond’s overall desire to work and stay in physical shape must be considered. He gave him a sixmonth conditional sentence and an evening curfew, along with six more months of probation, the terms of which include he not visit any casinos. Cleaveley also imposed a restitution order requiring Hammond to repay the $17,000 he stole from the bank.

ARE YOU INJURED BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE? Most people associate “personal injury” with motor vehicle accidents. While many personal injuries do indeed stem from motor vehicle accidents, Personal Injury Law covers much more. It can also include physical and mental injury, wrongful death caused from slipping or tripping accidents, assault, sexual assault or defective products.
Driver played chicken on meth CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
High on crystal meth, a 46-year-old driver first played chicken with cars attempting to cross the Thompson River at Lafarge Bridge. A Kamloops provincial courtroom was told yesterday that David Moen later fled the scene on Oct. 27, driving to a home on Shuswap Road. Once at the house, he walked inside and told the owner, “You’ve got a crazy person on your hands.” Moen then went out of the house and tried to torch the homeowner’s pickup, Crown prosecutor Michael Wong said, noting Moen was also clutching a knife while on the rural property. Wong outlined the scenario at a sentencing hearing, with
WORKER IN RIH WITH CRITICAL INJURIES AFTER FALL
judge Chris Cleaveley calling it a “truly bizarre and very serious” incident. Wong said events started at about 5 p.m. that day when a number of motorists reported to police a pickup at the intersection and on the bridge was driving at them and stopping, what Wong called a game of chicken. What they did not know is Moen was high on meth — so intoxicated he barely reacted when bitten by a police dog while being arrested. Wong said when police took him into custody, Moen was barely intelligible. Moen pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, uttering threats, being unlawfully in a house and arson. “Do I regret what I did? Moen told Cleaveley. “Yes. “Do I remember much of it? No.”
Defence lawyer Jay Michi said Moen has had a lifelong struggle with alcohol. After his father died from cancer, Michi said, Moen had a few drinks — starting him on a destructive path of booze and drugs. The death was followed by the end of a relationship for the construction safety worker. “At that point, Mr. Moen said he cracked and had a nervous breakdown,” Michi said. Moen has no criminal record. Cleaveley accepted a joint submission from defence and Crown for a two-month jail sentence. Moen has been in custody since the incident, leaving him with about 75 days remaining in his sentence after credit for time served. Moen was also handed a one-year driving ban, along with 18 months of probation.

eville Flanagan has spent years volunteering with Developing World Connections, but his most memorable venture might be sitting at the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro with his son and grandson in January. They are among almost 20 Kamloopsians preparing for the 70-kilometre trek that will take them 19,400 feet above sea level. Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest mountain in Africa and the volunteers have dedicated their time, bodies and mindset to
reaching the summit. “How often are you going to be able to do that?” said Graydon Flanagan, whose 18-year-old son, Chet, completes the family trio spanning three generations. It’s not only the trip of a lifetime, but a fundraiser for global projects organized by Developing World Connections (DWC), the Kamloops-based agency that recruits volunteers for initiatives that address poverty and social justice in developing countries. Through the Mount Kilimanjaro challenge, it aims to raise $100,000, primarily in support of children’s education in Sierra Leone.
In 2013, the agency committed to building a school in the slum community of George Brook to provide education to more than 150 children. “Kids, at the time, were learning in a dilapidated tin shack on a dirt floor with no windows,” said DWC executive director Joshua Molsberry. “So, [it was] the type of project DWC really believed in and wanted to get behind.” The Ebola epidemic has since prevented DWC from sending volunteers to West Africa and has left more than 12,000 children orphaned in Sierra Leone, according to British charity Street Child.

SUSPECT USES STOLEN CREDIT CARD
Developing World Connections has arranged the Kilimanjaro climb as a fundraiser to help raise money to complete constructions of schools in Kroo Bay (above) and George Brook in the Sierra Leone capital of Freetown. Once they are finished, kids will no longer attend school in tin shacks.
On Thursday, October 15th a vehicle was broken into on Orcrest Road and a number of items were taken, including a wallet which contained personal identification and credit cards. A suspect was seen on video surveillance trying to use the card at a local business. The card showed up as stolen to the staff and the suspect fled the area and could not be located. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, mid 40’s, wearing a dark coloured jacket and a dark ball cap. It is unknown if this suspect broke into the vehicle but he was still in possession of a stolen credit card which is an offence under the Criminal Code. If you know who this person is or have any information on the theft, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will never have to go to court or give a statement.

In lieu of manpower, DWC is committing proceeds from the challenge to fund the completion of the school in George Brook and another in Kroo Bay, both within the capital city of Freetown. THE CLIMB Neville has volunteered in close to 15 countries and the response never changes. “You build a stick house for a family of eight and they think they’ve died and gone to heaven,” he said. “Even though those people are happy and wonderful to work with and they are generous, we can see we are helping them, taking small strides compared to what we do here.” Chet has grown up watching his grandparents travel the world, donating their time and love to the less fortunate. He has yearned to do the same. “I was raised in a type of lifestyle, I’ve always wanted to give back,” he said. “Just the whole experience of being with my grandfather and my dad and the trip being for such a good cause, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” They will be taking 50 pounds each of dried packaged food to an orphanage near Tanzania before ascending the mountain, arriving on Jan. 6 and spending eight days on the dormant volcano. To prepare, they have been hiking regularly — in Kenna Cartwright Park and on Cinnamon Ridge and Mt. Peter. While Kilimanjaro is not a technically challenging climb, altitude sickness is the primary concern. They will spend less than an hour at the peak. The hiking schedule was designed to give everyone a fair chance at acclimatizing to the thin air. SECOND CHANCES Jennifer Crawford has had doubts about her ability to hike Mount Kilimanjaro, but believes if the same situation presents itself twice, perhaps it was meant to be. She had the opportunity to take the trip 10 years ago and had to pass it up, but not this time around.
“The pieces just seemed to fall in place for me,” she said. Crawford was keen on the experience and, once she learned the destination of the funds, felt further dedicated to the cause. Approximately 46-million African children have never set foot in a classroom, according to the United Nations. “I have a really strong belief system around education as a way to make global change,” Crawford said. “When I look at the difference between developed countries and under-developed countries, a really large part of that is a lack of universal education — and one climb isn’t going to educate all the school kids in Sierra Leone, but you start where you start.” Each climber has an obligation to fundraise or donate $3,500, but Crawford also set a personal fundraising goal of $19,400 — for the elevation she will reach. By mid-November, she was halfway to her goal, with two months left to collect. “Just to share that euphoria, I’m really excited about — reaching the summit and watching the sunrise over the Serengeti on top of the tallest mountain in Africa, just to be up there and see the world at my feet.” GLOBAL EFFORTS Though education is the priority, funds raised through the challenge will also support other DWC initiatives. Molsberry pointed to a project in Guatemala, where they are installing energy-efficient stoves in households living below the poverty line; in Peru, where they are constructing classrooms and community centres; and in India, where they are building large irrigation structures that trap monsoon rain, enabling farmers to produce multiple crops per year. It seemed fitting, Molsberry said, to conquer the tallest mountain on a continent where DWC has sent many of its 2,000 volunteers, in the name of creating a global community.
COOPER’S IN WESTSYDE BROKE INTO Early Sunday morning on November 2nd, suspects broke into the Westsyde Cooper’s Grocery Store and departed prior to the police arrival. The suspects smashed out the front door and went to the ATM machine. Cooper’s has a good alarm system
that no doubt scared off these thieves. The suspects did attempt to break into the ATM machine but were unsuccessful and fled the store. This is a somewhat isolated area but there are people who live nearby who may have seen the suspects or a vehicle
leaving the area. This is your opportunity to do the right thing and call the police, if you want to remain anonymous, please contact Crime Stoppers only your information will be used never your name.
2 SUSPECTS CAUGHT ON VIDEO SURVEILLANCE On Wednesday, November 18th at approximately 8:30 pm, two suspects were caught on video surveillance at an apartment complex at 1900 Tranquille Rd. For whatever reason one of the two suspects smashed the glass entry door of the complex. It is unclear who caused the damage but both are involved in some way or another. The police would like to identify these two suspects,
so restitution can be made to the apartment complex and may even have a date with the court system. Suspect #1 is a Caucasian male late 20’s, scar on his cheek right side, he was wearing a dark hoodie with white writing on it. Suspect # 2 is a Caucasian female, late 20’s long dark hair, wearing a grey hoodie with black writing on the front.
If you know any of these suspects please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon their arrest.

VIEWPOINT
KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:
HOT: The decision four years ago by the City of Kamloops to change the way it buys goods. Since it went to a centralized system of purchasing across all departments, the city will have realized savings of $5.1 million by the end of this year. Longer-term contracts have helped get those savings, which are not insignificant. Kudos to city staff for sharpening their pencils on behalf of taxpayers. NOT: Whomever was responsible for the diesel spill in North Kamloops earlier this week. While quick work by Kamloops firefighters managed to minimize the amount of fuel that made its way into the North Thompson River off Schubert Drive, the fact the source of the spill has not been located is troubling. There is a slim chance those who caused the spill are unaware they did so. Then there is the possibility someone is aware they caused the spill — deliberately or accidentally — and have chosen to remain quiet. If the latter is the case, may that person find an oily taste in their next mouthful of seafood.
OUR
VIEW
HOT: Sa-Hali secondary senior Kashlee Taylor-Proulx, whose decision to jokingly ask Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to be her prom date has become an Internet sensation. Kashlee posted a photo with the request and the viral effect began. The photo can be viewed online at kamloopsthisweek.com. So far, the prime minister has not given an answer.

Voting early, voting often?
I
awoke on Saturday, Nov. 7, mulling a plan to test the civic-election process. What measures are in place to prevent someone like me from casting multiple votes in the performing-arts centre referendum? I spoke to a few people about this issue and nobody knew the precise method the city used to track votes and to ensure someone like me could not abuse the system and vote early and often. As we found out this week via a worthy effort of Coun. Denis Walsh, there is, apparently, nothing in place to ensure one person does not cast multiple ballots. The revelation came amid a puzzling 5-4 vote that defeated Walsh’s motion to conduct a post-election audit to test city electronic voting machines for accuracy. Noting reports of votingmachine tampering in other countries, Walsh suggested the city hand count randomly selected ballots from the Nov. 7 referendum to confirm the machines are working as designed. It seemed like a logical request to me, one with no apparent downside and one that, as Walsh argued, would build public confidence in the voting process in the face of stories from other countries about voting-machine tampering. There was a peculiar response from city staff in that there is a question whether such a post-vote count would be legal, with corporate officer Cindy Kennedy saying the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
Newsroom
MUSINGS Development has advised the city to get an opinion on the legality of counting ballots immediately after an election. A quick reading of the Community Charter would seem to indicate the issue is not addressed in the document. Walsh was correct in wondering why the province cannot definitively tell the city whether conducting such an audit is legal. After all, it is the province that governs local elections. As to why such a count to double-check accuracy would carry with it a question of legality baffles me. Then again, government often baffles many. All of which brings me back to my planned referendum-day experiment. If the city does not review ballots to ensure everything is on the up and up — voting machines working, voters casting no more than one ballot, etc. — what is to stop someone from voting twice, three times, four times or more? I walked into three voting places and asked that very ques-
tion of three scrutineers. Their collective response? A shrug. In order to vote in the Nov. 7 performing-arts centre referendum, one had to show identification with photo and address. One also had to sign their name. That’s it. And, with voters not tied to specific locations, there were 15 voting stations from which to choose. With no review of ballots following the referendum, could I have voted more than once without getting caught? Based on what we learned this week via Walsh’s failed motion, I certainly could have. If it remains that easy in 2015 to commit electoral fraud with scant chance of being caught, perhaps it is time to get with the times. The Union of B.C. Municipalities voted in September to petition Victoria to introduce some form of Internet voting in the 2018 civic elections. Internet voting has been conducted elsewhere in Canada — including in Halifax, Peterborough and Markham, Ont. — and, while voter turnout numbers varies, the fact each voter was assigned a specific voter PIN eliminates the multiple-voting scenario I pondered on Nov. 7. Even today, there is really no way of knowing whether I cast one ballot, two ballots or no ballots — and that is ridiculous. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WARM START MAINTAINING THE ROAD THANKS Editor: During my daily four-mile walk this week, I had just crossed the railway tracks at Ord and McLean. The wind was really blowing and it was quite cold. To my surprise, a car pulled up beside me and a lady insisted on giving me a scarf to fend off the wind. I tried to refuse it, but she insisted. Thanks, kind lady, it did make a difference. Pat Nolan Kamloops
MORE THANKS Editor: Many thanks for coverage of our Operation Christmas Child project again this year. With support from the media, businesses, churches, organizations and families, we received 2,503 shoebox gifts ready to make their way around the world to children in need. Hallie MacDonald logistics co-ordinator, Operation Christmas Child, Kamloops
Editor: I am writing to voice my concerns and disgust with the condition of Heffley Louis Creek Road. This road has been very poorly maintained this year. Argo usually comes out to grade the road in preparation for the winter season. That was not done this year, leaving the road nearly impassible. The road is riddled with potholes. I will admit the first two kilometres the company tried to salvage
after the first snowfall is the best section of the road; however, it does not make up for the other nine kilometres Argo is contracted to maintain. We are now into our second snowfall. There were no plows or graders clearing the road two days after the snow fell. The road is heavily travelled by Sun Peaks residents, commuters and logging crews. On one recent morning, I saw two vehicles spin out on separate hills
and multiple drivers struggling to safely pass oncoming traffic due to unplowed roads. There is no room on the edges of the road to safely pull away from the centre of the road to allow for traffic to pass. This has left the stretch a single-lane obstacle course. Something needs to be done. This road needs to be properly maintained. Jamie Johnson Heffley Creek
SLOW DOWN AND SAVE US ALL THE GRIEF Editor: Re: KTW’s editorial of Nov. 24 (‘Slow down, respect winter’): If only drivers would follow your simple and well-stated editorial on winter driving. It is ridiculous that
the people who chose to ignore weather conditions, and refuse to adjust their driving to those conditions, cause the carnage they do on our roads and highways. The excuse regardless of how fast they are going
is: “I hit a patch of ice and lost control.” There are no consequences for their actions and we pay to repair or replace their vehicles. And people wonder why ICBC needs to raise rates.
To all the inconsiderate drivers out there, I hope that it’s only increased insurance premiums we have to pay for — and not our lives. Jim Norman Logan Lake

SALMON RUN CHALLENGE SWIMS IN SUCCESS Editor: Thank you, Kamloops, for supporting the Kamloops Food Bank by giving to our church’s annual Salmon Run Challenge. We asked residents to give extra tuna, salmon and other canned fish products to the food bank in the months of September and October. It was to coincide with children needing brain food (omega 3’s in fish), with the start of another school year and with the annual Adams
River salmon run. This is the fifth year that Plura Hills United Church has issued the challenge. Once again, it has been successful. The Kamloops Food Bank thanks you. Plura Hills United Church thanks you. And the students with the protein-packed lunches thank you. Donna Greenlay Kamloops

DIETER DUDY REFLECTS ON HIS FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE
A quiet confidence on city council Dieter Dudy is the only true new face on city council and is looking to make himself heard more often.
ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
For the past year, Coun. Dieter Dudy has stayed quiet more often than not. Since winning a seat on Kamloops city council with the third-highest number of votes (bested only by returning councillors Ken Christian and Arjun Singh) in November of 2014, Dudy has been one of council’s least quoted members, sometimes speaking no more than a few sentences during the course of a council meeting. “I was purposely quiet because I wanted to learn and not necessarily say something
Downtown is...

DAVE EAGLES/KTW
that was going to end up in print the next day and make me look foolish,” Dudy told KTW. But, after a year of listening, the city’s only completely new face on council said he’s looking to make himself heard more often — to a point. “You may have noticed there are a number of people around that table who speak all the time,” Dudy said. “And, more often than not, they’ll have said something I was going to say. So, I see no point in repeating it . . . There’s no point in me raising my hand just so
someone can hear my voice. “I’m not that vain.” There’s also a portion of city business to which he can’t speak at all — and it’s been the biggest disappointment of the term so far. An organic farmer by trade, Dudy said conflict of interest laws have virtually shut him out of agricultural and foodrelated matters at city hall, where it could be argued he has a financial stake in whatever decisions are made. When council debated and approved the city’s urban agriculture
plan — which could lead to allowances for urban hens and homebased agricultural businesses — Dudy recused himself. Land matters that must be sent to the Agricultural Land Commission also send him out of chambers. It’s an issue he’s still grappling with as council heads into the second year of its four-year term. “I could do more as a private person,” he said. Dudy first captured public attention four years ago as an underdog challenger who
nearly toppled Mayor Peter Milobar. But, when it came time to run in 2014, Dudy aimed a little lower — and doesn’t regret it. “I thought that I had a fairly good handle on what was going on in my city,” he said of the 2011 mayoral campaign. “And nothing could be further from the truth. I had no idea what I was getting myself into.” Getting a grip on the business of the city wasn’t easy, he said — a common observation from Kamloops’ firsttimers. In doing so, he’s developed more respect for his one-time opponent. “I have really grown to appreciate our mayor,” he said. “He is an extremely capable, intelligent man.”

Petersen making most of second chance ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The WolfPack are helping Greg Petersen close the book on what might have been. A swimmer for the Thompson Rivers varsity team, Petersen will be one of the school’s three athletes competing at the Canada West Swimming Championships in Vancouver this weekend. In just his first season with the WolfPack, Petersen is getting the opportunity to chase the university swimming career that almost got away. “That was actually the plan — I was going to, initially, be a university swimmer,” Petersen told KTW. “I was a really bad
student in high school, though, so I didn’t really have the marks to go to the universities I wanted to. I had SFU, UBC and the University of New Brunswick all scouting me at the time.” So, when his time at Sa-Hali secondary ended, Petersen decided instead to focus on school, saying goodbye to the varsity career that might have been. It was only once TRU started its swim program that university swimming again became a possibility for the Kamloops native. Already a student at the university, Petersen watched from afar as the program got off the ground. Now, in his fourth and final year, he decided it was

time to get back in the pool. The road to the Canada West championships have been anything but easy, though. “It was really tough, initially,” he said. “About the first three, four weeks, it was super painful, hard to keep up with everybody else at practice. “Overall, really tiring.” Though he was still swimming as a lifeguard and had begun preparation months in advance of the Canada West season, the competitive world had changed in the four years following Petersen’s time with the Kamloops Classic Swimming club. He wasn’t used to swimming between 35 and 40 kilometres a week as he is now, sharing the pool with world-class
athletes like Classics Colin Gilbert and Megan Dalke. Even the rules of his specialty — the breaststroke — had changed. “Basically, it was a pretty big shock to him, coming in and going with these guys, because the level that their training at nowadays, day-in and day-out, is significantly better than where Greg had finished,” said WolfPack head coach Brad Dalke. “It will be really investing to see where he’s at. He looks better every day.” Petersen will compete in the 50-metre, 100m and 200m breaststrokes, as well as the 50m freestyle at the Canada West championships, which are being held at the University of British Columbia this weekend. He — along with fel-
low WolfPack swimmers Jagdeesh Uppal and Taylor Carmichael, who will also be at the event — will be aiming to qualify for finals or consolation finals in all of his races. He’s also hoping he can qualify for the Canadian Interuniversity Sport Swimming Championships, which will be held in Quebec City in February. Either way, he’ll leave TRU this spring thankful to have had the opportunity to write another chapter in his competitive swimming career. “Hop back in, see if I can get the senior national times that I couldn’t get before and close that book, I guess,” Petersen said. “I won’t regret it then, I guess you’d say.”

Chalmers eyes Vanier Cup finale KAMLOOPS NATIVE TO WRAP UP CAREER WITH T-BIRDS IN QUEBEC CITY ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
No one imagined the UBC Thunderbirds would be playing for the Vanier Cup in 2015. It’s hard to imagine it was even on Grady Chalmers’ radar. “It has been a pretty surreal experience so far, going from beating Calgary in the conference championship game a couple weeks ago and then out to St. FX in Nova Scotia, another big win there,” Chalmers, a defensive back for the Thunderbirds, told KTW. The ArcelorMittal Vanier Cup, presented by Promutuel Assurance, kicks off at 10 a.m. tomorrow in Quebec City. “Considering that we were 2-6, last place in the conference last year, to come in with a pretty similar group of athletes, to get to the point where we are now is pretty unbelievable.” For the Kamloops native, it’s quite the way to wrap up his university career. Chalmers, a graduate of Valleyview secondary and four year-veteran of the Kamloops Broncos football club, is closing in on the final game of his second year with the Thunderbirds and, with it, the end of his amateur football career. The 24-year-old is hoping he can hang up his helmet in return for a national title. “I think just the chance to play in a game like this is something that everybody who plays football in this country dreams about — I think it’s just about the biggest stage that most people will ever get to play on,” he

said. “The opportunity to do that is pretty special. “This will probably be my last game of football either way. So, it’s kind of a good culmination of a long career and a lot of ups and downs. I think this game will be either the highest high or the lowest low, so, hopefully, we come out on the right end of that.” Standing in the Thunderbirds’ road to the university football crown are the Montreal Carabins, the defending Vanier Cup champions, coached by former Edmonton Eskimos head coach and general manager Danny Maciocia. The only person
to ever win both the Grey Cup and Vanier Cup as a head coach, Maciocia is eyeing another accolade as he vies to become just the fifth bench boss to lead a program to back-toback CIS titles. On the other side of the field will be Blake Nill, who, in his first season as head coach of the Thunderbirds, has brought UBC within one win of a national title for the first time since 1997. He has twice won the Vanier Cup as a head coach — 2001 and 2002 with the Saint Mary’s Huskies — and is now eyeing his third title, this time with the Thunderbirds. “He’s incredible,”
Chalmers said of Nill. “He brings a ton of passion and emotion to this team. Again, like I said, to take a group of athletes that didn’t do so hot last year to where were are now, within one win of a national championship, I think that speaks a lot about the kind of character he has.” Montreal, like UBC, finished the regular season at 6-2 before winning on the road in the Dunsmore Cup and Mitchell Bowl to earn their berth in the Vanier Cup. UBC, too, is facing its third week of road action, having defeated hometown Calgary in the Hardy Cup and St. FX in the Uteck Bowl.
Though they’re playing in Montreal’s home province, UBC will likely have a few sympathizers in the crowd tomorrow, with the game hosted at the 12,800-seat TELUS-Université Laval Stadium, home of perennial CIS powerhouse, the Laval Rouge et Or. Montreal defeated rival Laval 18-16 in the Dunsmore Cup, putting to bed any chance of the Rouge et Or playing in front of a hometown crowd for their ninth national title. “Obviously, people in Quebec City really love their team — that’s the University of Laval,” Chalmers said. w“Montreal is their biggest rival, so we’ve actually had a lot of support from people in the city — they’re pulling for us to pull off the win against their rival. “But, we know Montreal’s a pretty short drive away, so I’m sure there will be a lot of their fans at the game. It will be a tough environment, but I think we’ll be ready for it.” No. 6 UBC enters the Vanier Cup as the underdog to No. 4 Montreal, but it’s a situation they’ve been in before — they were a longshot to be No. 1 Calgary in the Canada West final. When things kick off tomorrow, Chalmers and company are hoping to surprise the nation as they have all season. “We’re excited,” he said. “They’re a tough team, they’re really well coached, a lot of great athletes over there, but we’ve got some pretty strong athletes on our side, too. “So, we’re excited for the challenge, to go up against these guys.”

Classics headed to U.S. Nationals ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Next week, Colin Gilbert will be sharing a pool with Michael Phelps. Gilbert and fellow Kamloops Classic Swimming club team member Megan Dalke will be in Federal Way, Wash., from Dec. 3 to Dec. 5, competing at USA Swimming’s 2015 AT&T Winter National Championships. It’s an event Classics head coach Brad Dalke said is almost unrivalled in the swimming world. “There’s a couple meets that are bigger, in terms of prestige, but in terms of depth, U.S. Nationals is the best meet in the entire world,” he said, noting in 2014, Phelps attended U.S. Nationals rather than the World Championships and put up two times that would have won gold in the Qatar event. “It’s a huge stepping stone,
really, in terms of getting them ready for our Canadian trials,” he continued. “You go to this meet, this is kind of like, not the pinnacle, because you’ve got all this international swimming that is still, hopefully, going to be happening, but in terms of the level of competition it doesn’t get any better than that.” Gilbert will be swimming the 200-metre, 400m and 1,500m freestyles, as well as the 200m butterfly in Federal Way. Megan Dalke will swim the 400m individual medley and the 400m freestyle. “It’s going to be, literally, the best people in the world there — you’ve got Michael Phelps, pretty much the whole U.S. National team, a couple Canadian National team members coming. You’ve got legends, too — I believe [Australian swimmer] Grant Hackett is going there,” Gilbert said. “They show what world-class swimming is like. I’ve always
looked up to Michael Phelps . . . it’s going to be awesome to actually see his under-waters, his turns. He’s literally the fastest person in the world, so to see that first person is going to be awesome.” It’s difficult to qualify for U.S. Nationals. While Megan Dalke has at least five time standards for Canadian Trials, she only has two for U.S. Nationals. The goal is for the Classics to swim personal-best times at the event — anything over and above that would be a bonus. Gilbert said making a final would be the ultimate goal. More than anything, though, the Federal Way event is a learning experience for Gilbert and Dalke, one that their coach hopes will leave them better prepared for Canadian Olympic Trials in April. “When we go back to the Canadian trials, the hope is they’re way more settled and prepared to really stand up and put in a great performance,” he said.

Esks’ defence may get headlines, but Redblacks no slouches NEIL DAVIDSON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
WINNIPEG — The fledgling Redblacks have wasted little time branding their defence. Ottawa’s defensive linemen and linebackers are dubbed Capital Punishment. The defensive secondary is known as D Block. “There is definitely the same swagger, but we go about things a little bit differently than D Block does,’’ explained 6-foot-2 251-pound defensive lineman Shawn Lemon. “Capital Punishment is a little more hands-on,’’ he added with a menacing smile. While the Edmonton Eskimos and head coach Chris Jones, a defensive guru, have occupied most of the defensive spotlight going into Sunday’s Grey Cup, the Redblacks have their own defensive chops. Overseeing the Ottawa defence on the sidelines — with help from head coach Rick Campbell — is veteran co-ordinator Mark Nelson. Nelson, a Nick Nolte lookalike complete with gravelly voice, is old-school football through and through. “An old, tough-ball coach type
of guy,’’ said linebacker Damaso Munoz. “He’s a great coach, man, and I’m happy to play for him.’’ His late father, offensive tackle Roger Nelson, is on the Eskimos Wall of Honour. He played 13 seasons for Edmonton between 1954 and 1967, was named the league’s Most Outstanding Lineman in 1959 and was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1985. Mark Nelson made his CFL debut in 1980 with Calgary, playing six seasons as linebacker and fullback before retiring in 1987 with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. His oldest son, Kyle Nelson, is a long snapper for the San Francisco 49ers. Campbell brought Mark Nelson to Ottawa. They met in 2006 and worked together in Winnipeg and Edmonton. “The players believe in him,’’ said Campbell. “He was a player and gets what it’s like being a player, interacts well with them.’’ Nelson, who manages to come across as a craggy but youthful 59 year-old, is equally complimentary about his

Sunday, Nov. 29 Edmonton Eskimos vs. Ottawa Redblacks 3 p.m. Investors Group Field Winnipeg, Man. 44-year-old boss. “Not very often have I heard a coach just talking to his players and at the end the players start clapping,’’ he said. Campbell’s forte as an assistant coach was defence and special teams although he has worked with the offence. “Football is his speciality . . . he has an unbelievable football mind,’’ said Nelson. “I don’t like to compare him to his father, but Hugh Campbell was always ahead of people and Rick Campbell is the same way,’’ he added.
“He’s ahead of everybody.’’ Nelson plays down his own contribution. “I always tell people I’ve never really worked,” he said. “I played and, then, when I couldn’t fool them any more that I could play good, I thought, ‘Well shoot I’ll coach.’ I’ve been fooling them since.’’ Nelson, a native of Edmonton who won Grey Cups as an assistant coach in 1993 with the Eskimos and 1996 with the Argonauts, said the Ottawa defence is more than the sum of its parts. “We’re slowly getting better,’’ he said. “We may not be the best in everything but as a unit we really play hard — and play for each other, as corny as that sounds.’’ Nelson’s resume reads like a bus route. He estimates there have been 16 stops. Home is now Ottawa, although the family has a base in Tulsa, Okla. “I’ve moved a little bit,’’ he acknowledged with a chuckle. “I was always told when they chase you out of town, make it look like you’re leading like a parade.’’ Nelson said some of his defence’s statistical pluses are
simply due to the good play of the offence or special teams, allowing his charges to rest. Ottawa led the league in sacks (62) and was No. 1 against the rush (70.8 yards a game allowed). No team was stingier than the Redblacks when it came to net yards offence allowed (297.6 yards a game). Edmonton allowed the fewest points (341) and was No. 1 in pass defence (245.2 yards a game). Lemon is unimpressed. “I know our defence is better than theirs,’’ he said matter-offactly. “I’ll take the group of DBs we have over theirs any day. I’ll take the group of linebackers we have any day. And I’ll most definitely take our D-line over them every day.’’ The Eskimos led the league in total yards allowed per game (321.8), with the Redblacks second (322.8). “They have a yard over us,’’ said Munoz, a Rutgers alumnus who plays bigger than his listing of 5-foot-11 and 219 pounds. “It’s going to be a tough match. It’s going to be about a yard type of game.’’

In Loving Memory Of EDWARD WINSTON DANCE November 28, 1941 – October 23, 2001
She grew up on a farm in Orion, in Southern Alberta, in her 20’s, during WWII and with only one female colleague she travelled to the unknown Ivory Coast because she heard Jesus calling her to serve the people there. At great personal cost and extraordinary risk she dedicated everything to vulnerable people. For 52 years she served faithfully: foregoing a family of her own, pulling infected teeth from villagers mouths, teaching Sunday school, putting young men through college though living hand to mouth herself, killing snakes, delivering babies and much more, all for the glory of God. She believe all lives were equally valuable and gave everything to love unreservedly. “As you did it to of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me” had no outclause for her and we’ll always be humble by her example. She was loved dearly by her seven siblings and their spouses, nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews. We will miss her and always remember her with great love and admiration.
TO ALL PARENTS ... By Edgar Guest “I’ll lend you for a little time A child of Mine” He said, “For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
A father gives you life, A Dad gives you love. A father feeds you, A Dad nourishes you. You can talk to your father, But you can pour out your heart to your Dad. A Dad is gentle, but not weak, Strong, but not harsh. Sometimes he’s your buddy, Sometimes he’s your boss. There’s one thing he will always be and that’s your Dad.
I’ve looked the wide world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you.
Remembering and celebrating you on the day you were born Dad Instead of the day we lost you.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness. We’ll love him while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay.
You were so many things to so many people, But to me you were my Hero!
Love Melody, Laurel and Cris (and families)
Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain, Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run.
And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

Michael passed away following a valiant battle with cancer. He was born in Fernie, BC and with his family they moved to Vancouver in 1953. He worked with his father on the construction of the Granville St. bridge, and made umbrellas at Vancouver Umbrella Factory before attending Vancouver Vocational School to complete his journeyman machinist certificate in 1959. In 1966 he received his B.Ed (Secondary) from UBC. His greatest joy was seeing the success of his students as they progressed through their lives and careers. As a resident of Rivershore Estates and Golf Links, Michael took on the job of Volunteer Fire Chief for twelve years. Music was a huge passion of Michael’s. He learned the violin at age 9 and then went on to play the clarinet. He was a member of the Kamloops Rube Band for 48 years. The last 15 winters have been spent playing with various music groups in Mesa, Arizona. Michael is survived by his wife of 58 years Carole, son Leslie of Whitehorse, son Gary (Kim) of Maple Ridge, grandson Michael of Vancouver, granddaughter Krystal (Clayton Baker) and great-granddaughter Alexandra Maria of Whitehorse, sister Pauline (Bill McNeney) of Squamish and many cousins and friends who will miss him. Special thanks to the Paramedics, Emergency and ICU staff of Royal Inland Hospital for their tender loving care. The support of friends and neighbours has been much appreciated. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.

Mary was blessed in September to share a week with her two sisters Ella and Alice and her brother Joe. Their last group hug will be cherished by her siblings forever. Mary was born and raised in Saskatchewan. As a young woman she trained as a LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) and soon met the love of her life, Fred Johnson, as a patient in the Saskatoon Hospital. They married on Wednesday, June 6, 1956 and soon moved out to Edmonton, Clinton and Ashcroft. They lived happily together for the last 43 years in Logan Lake. Mary loved spending precious time with her family and friends, working in her vegetable garden and planting flowers around her home. She was a strong, courageous woman who treated everyone with kindness. A service to honour Mary will take place on Saturday, November 28, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at the Logan Lake Community Church. This will be followed by a tea to celebrate the life of this wonderful lady.

Dorothy was an amazing person; mother, grandmother, wife and friend. Dorothy loved decades of travelling to visit family and friends, camping and fishing, swimming in the summers and skiing in the winters. She loved all of nature; birds and flowers, plants and animals, lakes and mountains. More than anything, Dorothy loved her family and friends and to laugh and have fun. She lived life to the fullest and looked at the world through rose coloured glasses.

Patricia Fraser of Kamloops, B.C. passed away on Sunday,
October 25, 2015 at the age of 88. Born in Vancouver, B.C. on December 22, 1926 to James and Janet Fraser and later raised in Kamloops, B.C. Pat was an only child who enjoyed baking with her mother and watching sports on television with her father. She loved her Vancouver Canucks. She also spent a great deal of time helping her parents weed the beautiful flower gardens at their Valleyview Drive home. After her parents passed away Pat continued living in her home for several years with the help of “her man”, friend and neighbor Dave Hierlihy. Karen thought it was cute that she would get jealous of anyone else taking his attention away from her. When Pat went from the walker into a wheelchair she had to move to the Overlander Residential Care Home. A friend of Dave’s, Louise, set up a puzzle room for her there. She spent many hours putting puzzles together. All that visited her and many that were going by would stop to say hello and put in a piece or two. She also took pride in helping out by folding towels. She was well looked after and loved by the staff at Overlander, as well as many people who came to know her by visiting there. The Hierlihy’s tried to make her life as happy and full as they could. She enjoyed their children, family and friends. She often talked about Karen’s mother Joyce. When visiting Joyce she would make her cinnamon buns. The day Joyce left to go home to Saskatchewan she got up at 4 o’clock in the morning to make buns for Pat before she left. Pat never forgot that and couldn’t believe that someone would do something like that for her. Pat especially loved it when the grandchildren came along. She loved holding the babies and had many precious pictures with them. Many thanks to doctors, nurses and staff at The Overlander Residential Care Home for the love and care while she was there. Thank you to all who visited Pat and spent time with her to pass her days. A special thank you to Louise Linfield, Sandra Kelsey and Linda Hiles, special friends of Pat’s. Thank you to Schoening Funeral Service and Hillside Cemetery for your services. “Those hearts that we have treasured, those lives that we have shared, those loves that walked beside us, those friends for whom we’ve cared, their blessing rests upon us, their life is memory, their suffering is over, their spirits are set free”
Pat, we will miss you, say hello to Dave. Love Karen, Darin, Andria & families.

A: When facing a life ending illness (e.g. terminal cancer) most people in Kamloops say they’d prefer to die at home. If this situation applies to you or someone you care for, visit the doctor. Ask about the “planned home death” form. A copy goes to the funeral home. When the death occurs at home, rather than call for an ambulance you simply call the funeral home.

LOCAL NEWS INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS PART 3 OF 3
What if they want to stay? After graduation, some international students want to remain in Canada — and it can get complicated CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS:
N
iggling doubt buzzed at the edge of Hyun Yang’s mind as he drove toward the United States border at Osoyoos. He’d been in Canada a decade, moving here from South Korea with a plan to learn English and study at a Western university — a prestigious education that would look good back home and meet with the approval of his mother, a single parent who was prepared to sacrifice for her children. His English? “Maybe I could say ‘Hi’, ‘Thank you’, ‘Good’, ‘I’m fine,’” Yang said. In those 10 years at Thompson Rivers University — first studying English as a second language, then moving to accounting before settling on a business degree in human-resource management — he had become a fluent speaker. Yang also worked selling cellphones as he attended school. After graduation in 2010, he obtained a two-year work permit and received a year-long extension. During those three years, Yang (who goes by the Anglicized first name Sean) worked his way up at a local sushi restaurant, starting as a delivery driver and eventually managing the eatery. But, as he drove to the border to enter a no-man’s land intended for immigrants to officially land and be handed their permanent resident status, he wondered if a bureaucrat in Ottawa had ticked a box telling him to pack up and leave the country within a week. “I didn’t have a back-up plan,” Yang said.
T H E I M PAC T O F T R U WO R L D
GETTING IN IS TOUGH Hamza Hasan is two years behind Yang. And, in that brief period of time, the prospects of immigrating to Canada have shifted for ambitious graduates of TRU who want to stay in the country to eventually become citizens. “They [students] approach us and ask the question: ‘How do I get my permanent resident status?’” said Kamloops lawyer Nick Weiser, who specializes in immigration law. “It’s a disappointing answer. Getting into Canada is very difficult, despite what people hear.” Hassan recently travelled Western Canada, showing his parents, Pakistani nationals who live in Dubai, sites that included Banff, Jasper and Victoria. The School of Journalism graduate is awaiting word on obtaining a three-year work permit he hopes will gain him the points he needs in the federal system to become a permanent resident. Yang, who now works at RBC as a mutual-fund advisor — in addition to an outside sales job —
is too materialistic “toDubai me. B.C. is mountains
and rivers — it’s paradise here. — HAMZA HASAN,

took a similar path. But, changes introduced by the former Conservative government, in part to deal with controversy over fast-food giants and other corporations using foreign workers as a cheap pool of labour to suppress wages, have made it more difficult to stay in Canada. Yang has now achieved
permanent-resident status. At the border, following his applications, medical and criminal record checks from Korea, he was given the news he could stay in Canada.
TWO ROUTES, CHANGES For foreign nationals like Hasan, there are two ways to remain in Canada:
through Citizenship and Immigration Canada or through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). One of those doors, the PNP program, was frozen for months as the provincial government sought to change its selection system due to an overload of qualified applications brought on when the federal program became more difficult. According to a recent Toronto Star article, fewer than one in 10 applicants to Canada’s Express Entry program is successful. “It [Express Entry] is very tough. “Processing times are very long,” Weiser said.

“They’ve got an education. “You’ve got a good talent pool — they’re skilled, they’ve learned one of the official languages,” he said. “Wouldn’t that be ideal for immigration?” The provincial Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training declined a request for an interview on changes to its program. It sent a statement saying the changes were made “to better align the program with B.C.’s labour market and economic-development priorities.”

iversity at Thompson Rivers University is not limited to the
classroom. It can also be found on the court. Of the 172 athletes on WolfPack rosters for the 2015-2016 season, 16 of them are international student-athletes, with 12 countries represented — Ukraine, Antigua, the U.S., Norway, Germany, Spain, France, Kenya, Mongolia, China, Denmark and Mexico. “Some of the international student-athletes are absolutely outstanding, such as Iuliia Pakhomenko from Ukraine, who is a star on the women’s volleyball team,” said Adrian Conradi, TRU World’s associate director of international student services. TRU World provides $100,000 per year in scholarship money to the athletics department for international recruits. Each international athlete chosen to receive a scholarship is typically given $5,000 per semester, which covers roughly 75 per cent of their tuition and fees, according to Ken Olynyk, TRU’s director of athletics and recreation. There are additional methods of generating funding used to lure out-ofcountry talent, an example being the annual WolfPack Scholarship Breakfast. How scholarship money is divvied up between the WolfPack programs is determined by Olynyk’s department. “We consult with the coaches beforehand in regard to who may be recruited and look at that accordingly,” Olynyk said.
KTW FILE PHOTO Iuliia Pakhomenko left Ukraine in 2012. She’s spent the last two CIS seasons suiting up for the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s volleyball team.
“The CIS [Canadian Interuniversity Sport] programs we have receive the very first consideration in regard to international awards.” TRU has eight CIS programs — men’s and women’s soccer, basketball and volleyball squads, along with the swimming and cross-country running teams. There are CIS-enforced limitations on how many international students are allowed on some teams — basketball teams are restricted to three nonCanadian players and volleyball teams may have a maximum of two.
He just told me it was a good school “and a dedicated team.”
— PHILIP ÖZARI, Danish TRU volleyball recruit
Restrictions have not been placed on the number of non-Canadians permitted on the soccer, swimming and cross-country running teams. The WolfPack baseball program — which features two players from the U.S. — toils in the Canadian College Baseball Conference ranks and is the only remaining non-CIS sport at TRU. TRU Athletics and Recreation facility co-ordinator Jon Shepard com-
piled a list of international athletes who have competed at the Kamloops postsecondary institution since 2005, when the University College of the Cariboo Sun Demons became the TRU WolfPack. He counted 89. India, Poland, Sweden, Brazil, Egypt, Libya, Botswana, Jamaica, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Austria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Belize, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Monaco, Japan and
Australia are among the countries that have been represented, in addition to the nations this season’s crop of athletes call home. They each take different roads to the Tournament Capital. Some email highlightreel tapes to coaches, word of mouth from former WolfPack players and coaches overseas often leads to new recruits and establishing pipelines to certain countries also produces top talent for TRU. When Philip Özari, a 6-foot-4 outside hitter from Birkerød, Denmark, joined the WolfPack in 2012, he became the fifth Danish recruit to play men’s volleyball at TRU, joining Martin Korsbak Madsen, Martin Ølgaard Stenderup, Stine Bleeg Christiansen and Lykke Degne. Madsen was influential in Özari’s decision to make the move. “He just told me it was a good school and a dedi-
cated team,” Özari said. “He told me some general stuff about the players and the coach. The scholarship money was important, too.” Much of the credit for drawing those Danes to Kamloops belongs to WolfPack women’s volleyball head coach Chad Grimm, who spent four seasons playing and coaching in the Scandanavian country. “When you see a video, it’s hard to truly tell what type of player you’re getting,” WolfPack men’s volleyball bench boss Pat Hennelly said. “You can’t talk about character and those types of things. Chad has connections throughout Europe, so talking to the junior national head coach and the head of Danish volleyball, you can get a sense of what type of person they are.” See SOME, A22

Lahana Ghosh moved to Kamloops with her boyfriend in search of a better life in a better country. It wasn’t until she got here that she realized a better life meant letting go of the man she thought she loved. “I was in an abusive relationship,” Ghosh, 25, told KTW. “He used to cheat on me . . . he used to hit me.” She kept herself busy working two jobs, going to school full-time and joining the Thompson Rivers University Students’ Union (TRUSU). She helped organize events like These Hands Don’t Hurt Women, aimed at ending violence against women. “I was like, ‘My boyfriend is standing right next to me and he’s taking the pledge, but he actually hits me,’” Ghosh said. She met Paige Bernard, TRUSU’s women’s representative, and was empowered to break off the only relationship she’d ever had after eight years. “I don’t even think she [Bernard] knows it,” she said. “It’s because of her.” Ghosh said women’s abuse is widespread in India — something “people don’t talk about” — and hopes to inspire other students at TRU in similar circumstances to have “courage.” Ghosh has since graduated with her postbaccalaureate diploma in marketing and recently took a job as a product co-ordinator at Boathouse. She’s also found love again, this time with a TRU student from Blue River named Kalub Avila, whom she met while working at KFC. They live together and have two cats. She’s more open, she said, and they have fun together — exploring B.C.’s lakes, going for walks and having picnics. “He just lets me be,” she said. “I can wear whatever I want, I can do whatever I want, I can pretty much say whatever I want and he doesn’t judge me at all. “Can you imagine how elevating it is when someone realizes that, ‘Oh, I can do these things now?’”

Every week, Vicky Smith makes her way out to Thompson Rivers University’s sign on McGill Road, a flag in hand. Four poles fly standards above the sign — Canada’s, British Columbia’s, the flag of the Tk’emlúps Indian Band and, on this day, the blue cross on white of Finland. Smith changes the fourth banner each week, the symbols and colours representing the home nation of another member of TRU’s international student population. “It lets the student feel good to see their country’s flag flying,” said Smith, a secretary at TRU World. Each semester, Smith receives a list of students at TRU and their nationalities. She goes alphabetically through the countries, flying a new flag on the school’s sign each week.
Five others spend a month on each of the five poles in front of TRU’s International Building. Another pole, this one behind the International Building, is home to what is known as the guest flag, in honour of the numerous speakers, academics and VIPs who visit the Kamloops campus each year. Most years, visitors from China and Japan are so numerous their banners fly on this pole rather on the other poles around campus. Smith usually makes it through the complete list of countries over the course of a semester. Nepal had been the one exception in recent years — its flag is difficult to get — but a TRU World staff member brought three standards back from the South Asian nation in the summer. “It just shows that we’re honouring their country, that they came,” Smith said. “It’s about respect for the students’ countries.”

When Baihua Chadwick talks about the future of Thompson Rivers University’s international program, her word of choice is “transforming.” The CEO of TRU World expects the program to continue to grow at the steady rate it has in past years — about two per cent between 2013 and 2014 — but with a focus on finding students for degree programs the university wouldn’t have the numbers to run if it relied only on Canadian students. “I don’t want to use the word ‘growing’,” Chadwick said. “Growing implies mostly the size. I think the program will become stronger, more diversified and, yes, grow in size as well. But, our emphasis is more on managing the growth.” Chadwick said the university used targeted recruitment a few years ago, when it wanted to launch an on-campus master of education program — until then offered only as a part-time program. Recruiting international students gave the school enough demand to launch the course, which continues to run full-time. More than 80 countries are already represented on the TRU campus and Chadwick said the public should expect to see more diversity at the school in the coming years. While China, Nigeria, Russia, Ukraine and India will continue to bring in large numbers of students — with the contingent of Indian students in particular continuing to grow — Chadwick said TRU’s team of promoters will be looking to bring in more students from Vietnam, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and African countries beyond Nigeria. She also believes TRU could see a growth in popularity in the Philippines. Once TRU World’s marketing team focuses on a new locale, Chadwick said it takes about three years before students from that country start showing up in Kamloops on a regular basis.

cess under the PNP,” it stated. Weiser said bureaucrats with Citizenship and Immigration Canada pick from as many as 10,000 applicants through a website. If applicants aren’t drawn initially, chances won’t get any better down the road. It’s also more difficult to get a temporary work permit, which now requires a labourmarket impact assessment from a prospective employer stating no qualified Canadian can be found for the work.
Would Yang have been able to get that letter for his first job after graduation as a delivery driver? “Immigration is not straightforward anymore,” acknowledged Yang, who has friends from school and outside attempting to stay in Canada. “Even for me, it took about two years.”

He is also hoping for the reopening of the Provincial Nominee Program. “Dubai is too materialistic to me,” he said of returning to the Middle Eastern city where his parents live and where he received most of his schooling before coming to Canada. “B.C. is mountains and rivers — it’s paradise here.”

Some international athletes stay in Kamloops From page A20
There have been cases of international students participating in walk-on tryouts and cracking WolfPack rosters, but those instances are not common. “It is rare for a walk-on to make it, just because they will typically only come if they are receiving a scholarship, and walk-ons are already here, so they would have the means to pay the international fees themselves,” Grimm said. Tuition for an international student-athlete earning 12 credits per semester is about $17,000, roughly three times the cost of domestic tuition. In some cases, international athletes receive less than $5,000 per semester in scholarship money and some do not receive any. Many work to make ends meet, including Pakhomenko, who is paid to conduct WolfPack athletics camps during the summer and picks up odd jobs throughout the year. All the extra effort is worthwhile, she said. “I had a culture shock, at first, because everything is way nicer here and it’s easy to get whatever you want, and people are different, more polite and approachable,” said Pakhomenko, who left Ukraine in 2012 and is pursuing a masters in business administration. “I love it.

if I wasn’t an athlete and a student. “I think my life would be so boring.” Not every international import’s story is one of success.
Özari and the WolfPack men’s volleyball program never meshed and he opted not to return after two seasons. He is one of many international WolfPack student-
athletes who didn’t quite find a home in Kamloops. Fitting into a new culture while balancing school and sports is no small task. Many of the Pack’s international student-athlete
graduates do remain in Kamloops after graduation, including Behlul Yavasgel of Turkey and Robin Schoebel of France, both former members of TRU’s men’s volleyball team.
“Schoebel bought a house here and Behlül is engaged to be married in the summer,” Hennelly told KTW. “They came here to change their lives.”

Vancouver-based musical comedy trio Terry is coming to Kamloops for a show tonight at The Dirty Jersey. Above, the group is in bald caps while performing the song Bald, a track from its debut album Eponymous Release.
Vulgarity that’s easy on the ears JESSICA WALLACE

W
hen Colin Lamb’s gardening clients ask him about music, he tells a white lie. He admits to playing in a band but, instead, sluffs it off by saying things like, “Oh, it’s folk music.� The reality is he sings songs with titles like Sister Banger and lyrics like “Darling, I don’t want to be your friend if we’re not bangin’.� “I try to avoid the specifics,� the comic musician told KTW in a phone interview from Vancouver. Lamb did make a go at folk before fronting the comedy band Terry and called the
pursuit a “sad tale.� “I was trying to write music for years and it was pretty bad,� he said. “I used to get booed quite regularly.� Then, he began writing funny songs and hooked up with bassist Chris McNight and drummer Trevor Sather, formerly of the rock band Tasty Animals. “Now, people laugh,� Lamb said. The group is performing tonight at The Dirty Jersey, expanding its performances through B.C. since its first album Eponymous Release, which debuted in January. With musical humour, the options are limitless, Lamb said. It can mean a variety of genres, from rock to country or reggae, and leeway when it comes to crude topics — dressing it up and making it easy on the ears. “When you put on the clown shoes, people can for-

give a little bit of vulgarity,� Lamb said. He once received a complaint from a venue owner, however, about a song called Don’t Be a Rapist. He ended up handing if off to the female music comic, Shirley Gnome, who will also be performing as a special guest at the Kamloops show. “I’m not out to upset people,� Lamb said. When asked if the band’s songs are true stories, Lamb said he wouldn’t name names but would neither classify the lyrics as fiction. Lamb called the show

Kashlee Taylor-Proulx, a Grade 12 student at Sa-Hali secondary, recently split from her boyfriend — right about the time she bought her prom dress for grad celebrations next spring. So, facing such a dilemma, the bright 17-year-old did what any politically astute teenage girl would do — she asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to be her prom date via this photo posted on her Facebook page. Her joke has gone, as they say, viral, with multiple media mentions and more than 12,000 “likes” on Facebook. As of yesterday, Kashlee had not heard from our heartthrob prime minister, who has been busy this week meeting with Queen Elizabeth in London as he makes his way to Paris for climate-change talks next week.

They’re going to Miss her TERESA DARES PASSES THE AMBASSADOR SOCIETY TORCH JESSICA KLYMCHUK
STAFF REPORTER
jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com
When she talks about the young girls who have passed through her life, one would think she was talking about children of her own. Teresa Dares fondly reminisces of some who have graduated medical school and grins ear to ear at the thought of the first baby, born last year. “I’m proud of my girls,” she said. After almost 10 years, Dares is retiring as president of the Kamloops Ambassador Society, the non-profit agency that crowns Miss Kamloops and ambassador princesses. The alumni network is something of a family to Dares and her roots in the program are maternal. Both of her daughters were Logan Lake ambassadors. “I just saw the confidence that it gave her and how she grew in the years,” Dares said, speaking of her eldest. “I didn’t think my second
daughter would do it, but she did and the change in her, as well as the confidence that it creates in the young girls, is amazing.” Dares has been conscious about modernizing Miss Kamloops since she took over as president in 2006. Providing networking opportunities were high on her priority list, as was offering classes the girls might not have access to otherwise. She was keen to introduce participants to Kamloops business leaders and have community professionals involved in facilitating courses. Dares removed the talent portion of the competition in an effort to continue to diminish the misconception the program is a beauty pageant. “I think talent is old-fashioned — just my opinion,” she said. “That doesn’t make an ambassador, whether you can sing or dance.” She recognizes ambassador programs are becoming increasingly outdated. B.C. is the only province to
offer them and what used to be 75 programs across the country is now 24, which is why Dares hopes organizers will continue to promote education, volunteerism and networking as the driving forces behind Miss Kamloops. “I wish it weren’t outdated and I don’t think it should be outdated because people don’t realize it is not what they think it is,” she said. “It’s not a beauty pageant. “You know, what 16-year old isn’t beautiful? But, it’s got nothing to do with that and I don’t know how else to promote it.” Dare is leaving the program in good hands, with incoming president Acacia Schmietenknop, a past Miss Kamloops Dares has mentored since 2008. “It’s one of my proudest moments,” she said. “It’s time. You get to the point where you need to have some changes and some new ideas.” Miss Kamloops is now looking for participants for its 2016 program. For more information, go online to misskamloops.com.
▾ MYTH: Gangs have formal organization and structure: Reality: By and large, few youth gangs evolve into adult criminal organizations and most gangs are loosely structured, with transient membership and easily breached codes of loyalty. With many gang members being arrested or murdered, membership is usually in a constant state of flux with internal competition for leadership roles.

SEDONA SAND DUNE ADVENTURES LAUREN KRAMER
FOR TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES
travelwriterstales.com
“
Whatever you do, please don’t write about vortex or new age stuff!” I was standing in a Sedona supermarket chatting to a local in line at the checkout and had just disclosed I was a travel writer when she delivered this earnest request. The ‘vortex stuff’ was nonsense, she said — a real estate ploy way out of control. Her warning: Avoid the vortex at all costs. I had come to this city of 10,000 to check out the red rocks for which it is famous and quickly learned I was one of some two-million visitors who arrive into town each year for precisely the same reason. Some go hiking up and around the red rocks, others choose mountain biking, helicopter flights or jeep tours on the dusty roads. But, there’s also a good number who are only too happy to partake in the ‘new age stuff’ I’d been
warned of, an industry spawned from the notion vortexes or spiritual energy points cluster around Sedona, enhancing prayer and meditation. Vortex tour brochures touted everything from spiritual growth and selfimprovement to yoga and transformative personal experiences. But, you either believe in that stuff or you don’t and, since I don’t, I headed out on a bumpy pink jeep tour for a better view of the monolithic red stones that have made Sedona a tourism magnet. It’s no exaggeration to say they truly are magnificent. The first time you glimpse them, heading toward Sedona on Highway 179, you could easily be forgiven for distracted driving. You round a corner and there they are: striking, massive, dignified and unmistakably fiery red. I learned these are sand dunes rising up to 6,592 feet in the sky. The rocks get their blazing hue from hematite, a reddish form of iron oxide deposited as water seeped through layers of ancient sandstone,

millions of years ago. Time has carved multi-layered spirals, hills, buttes and camelback shapes into the sandstone. The dunes extend their arms into the sky as if gesturing heavenward, creating a vivid backdrop that can’t help but startle and amaze you. With our jeep bumping over rocky terrain in the Coconino National Forest, minutes from Sedona’s bustling retail strip, our guide pointed out agave plants, prickly pear cactus and Arizona cypress trees. Though it may look dry and arid, Red Rock country is biologically rich, with a range of
plant communities that support a huge variety of wildlife, from herds of javelina to fox and coyote, bears, elk, badgers and roadrunners. For archaeologists the land is a living museum, littered with fragments from the past, including pottery shards dating back to the Sinagua people who resided in the area until 1400 AD. Later, I hit the highway for Flagstaff to try Flagstaff Extreme, an adventure treetop experience. I was scared when I strapped on a harness and climbed ladders into the upper reaches of a Ponderosa pine tree forest. But, after a few

minutes of navigating through the forest using innovatively constructed swings, ziplines and bridges, my confidence soared. The wind was blowing through the treetops as I banished my fear of falling and focused instead on balance, confidence and trust in the safety equipment. After completing each of the five levels of adventure, an exhilarating wave of achievement washed over me, propelling me forward. On my final day in Arizona, I joined Mary McDowall for an ATV tour a half-hour from Sedona in Prescott

National Forest. The owner of Arizona Offroad Tours took our group 40 kilometres into the hilly Verde Valley, pointing out desert willows, manzanita, hollies and other desert shrubs along the way. “This is one of the most beautiful parts of the state,” she said, gesturing at the millionacre forest around us and the mountain plateaus in the distance. Clambering on the spanking new ATVs, we powered up a dirt road, then took a sharp turn and zoomed noisily along a meandering, dry creek bed created by the swirling waters

of flash floods during monsoon season. It was a striking contrast to the boutiques and gift shops we’d been browsing a day earlier in Sedona. McDowall agreed. “You go to Sedona, you’re going to see Ferraris,” she said with a shrug. “It’s touristy. But, if you’re an outdoor person, this is the place for you, because there’s nature everywhere.”

FAITH
Preparing for the Advent season in toto
S
tarting with the first Sunday in Advent this weekend, the world will once again draw nearer to the birth of Christ. As we look at the past 2,000 years, the words of St. Paul — “When the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son.” (Gal. 4:4) — seem a bit hollow these days. Was humanity ready and waiting for the coming down of the Messiah back then? Are they even now? When we look at what goes on around Christmas, many get sicker and sicker. The money-mad selfindulgence, often in the name of Christ’s birth, does anything but bring glory to him. In most Christmas celebrations, Christ has become a joke of the fancied season. Most of the world is not into honouring Jesus. Around the season

FAITH
of the first Christmas, the gospels declare, the gaping and the curious crowds were waiting in expectation. They would wait with gawking eyes for anyone who could work a cheap miracle or give them bread without toil — or security without sweat. But, aside from them and what they represented, humanity, in some universal sense, was not waiting for the flaming of his Advent feet. What of our own day? If 20 centuries were
too soon, what reason have we to feel it would be any different today or that his coming would be more opportune? If we were to take this question to the world of politics, business, international relations or even to the modern home, we would encounter people who claim that, in order to survive, a person must not only be physically strong and fit, but must always look out to be No. 1. The New Testament gospels that feature “walking the second mile” or “the house built upon a rock” seem unconventional and innocuous in a world that appears to believe in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Surely, we would be forced to discount this 21st century as the least feasible time and declare: Jesus came too soon, this Christ of peace. People (were) are
not ready for him yet. We would be tempted to add it was too soon to teach people that the road to humility is the way to spiritual leadership, power and victory. Too soon to convince that self-renunciation is the way to lasting success and moral maturity. Too soon to advise belligerent nations that enslavement of others is treachery against the sanctity of the human soul and deserves the vengeance of God. However, we still have the words of Paul that, at the right time, God sent forth His Son. And, at that time, wherever Jesus went or whenever he appeared, apart from some irresponsible and wavering crowds, there were invariably those poor and spiritually beleaguered folks who were “all waiting for him” (Luke 8:40). It was surely the fullness of time for God to
become incarnate. How providentially the external conditions and circumstances helped in the preparation for the zero hour in the spiritual destiny of the human race. For about 100 years before Jesus came, the known world had been merely a loose aggregation of warring states and tail ends of decaying empires. Then, Rome took over and, under Pax Romana, rivalry and discord gave way to unity and peace. Freedom to move without passports or fear sped the early messengers of Christ, bearing the good news to the farthest frontiers. How could Jesus’ coming be any more opportune than in such circumstances? What, then, did the people and nations wait for in connection with the coming of Jesus? What difference has the glorious advent of
the Lord made in the story of the human race? A biblical analysis of these questions would yield at least three practical answers: In the incarnation of Christ, God has become real to people. The Hebrews, of course, knew God was for real. Yet, there was the deep-seated feeling that God was in heaven and man was on earth. The Creator and His creatures were far apart. With God at hand in the person of Christ, each believer had something to live for. Life became real and meaningful and great because, even at the cost of death itself, men would go on living for Him. Because God had become more real to men in Jesus Christ, loneliness has been taken out of their faith. I am sure many feel religion is a lonely business in this century.
It is so much easier to be one of a jolly, irreligious crowd than to be dubbed a killjoy. But with God’s Son in him, a person can stand against the world and overcome it. Again the world is drawing near to the birth of Christ. Amidst the overload of fun and celebrations, it is easy to forget that though Christmas is the beginning of the Christian history, it goes on much further. According to ancient liturgies, the mystery of faith is: “Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ shall come again.” Will Advent 2015 be for us the dawn of a new day? It would, if we pray sincerely with the hymn writer Emily Elliot: “O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for Thee.” ryanmitra225@ gmail.com

HELP BLANKET THE CITY Urban Barn is holding its fourth annual Blanket the Country in Warmth campaign, which continues to Dec. 6. For every $5 in-store donation, the outlet at 1210 Summit Dr. at the Columbia Place Shopping Centre will provide a new fleece blanket to Emerald Centre, a co-ed shelter run by the Kamloops branch of the
Canadian Mental Health Association on West Victoria Street. The goal nationally is to donate 13,000 blankets. The store is open Mondays to Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
QUILTING AT THE BIG GAME The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Quilting Group will be holding a raffle for a quilt made by the team. The group and the quilt will be at the Tuesday, Dec. 1 Kamloops Blazers/Kootenay Ice game at Sandman Centre. All proceeds will go to the quilting group to raise money for fabric and new sewing machines as mem-
bers are now using machines from 1960s. Amy Detaeye is a fourth-year social-work student at Thompson Rivers University. Detaeye and her peers are working with the CMHA Quilting Group as part of a social justice project. She said a purpose of the project is to raise awareness of the CMHA and its quilting group.

WORD SCRAMBLE
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Christmas Shopping in Now playing on the North Shore Theatre lovers have two stellar productions from which to choose. Kamloops Players Society continues its performance of Harvey at the Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille Rd. Harvey is, of course, the Pulitzer Prizewinning play featuring Elwood P. Dowd, an affable man who claims to have an unseen (and presumably imaginary) friend Harvey — whom Elwood describes as a six-foot,
three-and-one-half-inch tall pooka resembling an anthropomorphic rabbit. Harvey hits the stage tonight at 8 p.m. and tomorrow at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. For ticket information, go online to kamloopsplayers.com. • The Class Act Theatre Society, in partnership with Centre for Seniors Information Kamloops, presents The Gift of the Magi at the Brock Centre Theatre, 9B-1800 Tranquille Rod, on Friday, Dec. 4, and Friday, Dec. 1. Show times are at 7:30 p.m. and tickets can be found online at kamloopslive.ca.
Christmas open house The North Shore Business Improvement Association is inviting one and all to its Christmas open house.

Ending Youth Homelessness
Youth homelessness in Kamloops is a substantial issue. We estimate over 290 hidden homeless and 20 absolute homeless youth in this region, between the ages of 14 and 24, at any given time. The A Way Home Committee was created to prevent, reduce, end youth homelessness and is a multi-sector group of individuals who represent social service organizations, businesses, government agencies, foster parents, landlords, and the justice system. This is a group bonded through the common goals of ending chronic and episodic homelessness for all youth in our city and enhancing the engagement of community partners across sectors to benefit services to youth. The ‘cause’ of youth homelessness is complex and certainly not chosen by anybody. We recognize that housing is not enough—but a home is crucial and has to come first. A Way Home’s Housing Action team is called the “Kamloops Youth Housing First Wrapforce”, which is an innovative solution that coordinates existing resources to end youth homelessness. Through the A Way Home’s Housing Action team, housing comes with the supports that youth identify as needed and necessary, such as addiction services, mental health counselling, cultural supports, education, employment support, lifeskills, etc. There are no time limits placed on youth to stay in their housing units or to receive support—other than the encouragement to reach their goals. We draw on the success of places like Medicine Hat, Alberta (as a community, they have eliminated homelessness) and agree that we have a responsibility as a community to protect the dignity and humanity of all citizens; particularly our children and young adults. The Mayor of Medicine Hat, Ted Clugston, states: “It costs $20,000 a year to house someone. If they’re on the street, it can cost up to $100,000 a year.” While we continue to work with the municipal, provincial and federal governments to address youth homelessness—the young people on the street can’t wait for the ‘grant to come through’ or for their suffering to become visible to the ‘right’ people. They are homeless now. With the vision and resources provided by Kelly Fawcett and Jason Fawcett from Kelson Group Property Management, young people are able to establish long-term, sustainable housing. We have also had overwhelming support from other landlords in our community. Subway, Home Depot (Orange Door Project), and Kamloops Honda have demonstrated how the business community can assist through financial contributions to eliminate the gap between the cost of rent, and the amount young people can afford. This partnership between businesses, landlords, and the A Way Home committee is creating sustainable, supported units of housing in our community for youth who would otherwise be at a high risk for homelessness, which substantially increases their risk of homelessness as adults.. Youth who experience homelessness is a complex, systemic issue that requires a systemic solution. While government participation is essential, this is not the sole responsibility of government. We are demonstrating what is possible when the barriers between sectors soften, and we can advance the engagement of community partners in system planning and implementation. We are the community that raises a child.
