The curling rink in the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre will undergo a transformation this weekend as volunteers with the Kamloops Aurora Rotary Club prepare to house 32 horses from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride. The ride will take place in Kamloops on Tuesday and Wednesday outside on McArthur Island and Rotary member Stephen Karpuk said the public can expect some pure Canadiana — as well as impressive displays of horse riding. Dressed in their iconic red serge uniforms, RCMP members who have served at least two years will present choreographed drills. According to Mounties, the ride has been in existence since 1876, when it was developed by the North-West Mounted Police to entertain local communities and give trainees a break from the monotony

of regular riding training. “You just come away blown away,” Karpuk said. “Man and horse or woman and horse being able to co-ordinate and do something — it’s like Snowbirds on the ground, doing all sorts of really cool things.” In addition to the event itself, which requires tickets, members of the public can access the event grounds for free from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Outside of show hours, people can visit horses in the stables, meet RCMP members, check out a selection of food trucks and browse community vendors. Following the show, riders will also be available for audience questions and photographs. “I think it’s a good way for people to let go some of the stress we’ve had with the smoke and evacuees and some of the tensions we’ve had and just come out and relax and enjoy,” Karpuk said. Money raised from ticket sales will go to a

help number of local charities. Karpuk said specific groups are still being discussed, but money will be earmarked for initiatives such as the Starfish Backpack program, which provides children in need with food to eat on weekends, when school meal programs are not available, and A Way Home, which works with youth aging out of foster care. Shows begin Tuesday and Wednesday at 6 p.m. and run for 45 minutes. Seating is available for up to 3,000 people, with first-come, first-serve bleacher spots. Those arriving later are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs. Tickets are $20 per adult, $50 for a family pack and $17 for seniors and students. Children under five are admitted free. To purchase tickets, go online to auroramusicalride.com or visit Flavours of India (610 Columbia St. W.), the Horse Barn (517 Mt. Paul Way), Kamloops Insurance (#220450 Lansdowne St.) or Fortune Health Foods (750 Fortune Dr.)

DO I REALLY NEED A WILL? Doesn’t my spouse just get everything anyway (since we co-own everything together)? That might work, as long as you die first. In that case your spouse would keep all your jointly owned assets. But once there’s only one spouse alive, that spouse needs a Will to pass on their assets. And, since we never know who’s going to die first, that means both spouses need their own Wills.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Grass now covers the site of the former outdoor pool in McDonald Park on the North Shore. The pool was removed last year, with a spray park and wading pool announced for the area at the top of this photo. While the spray park is open, the wading pool will likely remain a plan on paper only, due to cost concerns.

New rules drain wading pool dreams in McDonald Park ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jesse Johnston is still waiting to wade. “It’s the end of summer and they said it was going to be put in this year,” the North Shore parent said of a wading pool city council approved for McDonald Park more than a year ago. While the spray park built to replace the park’s old swimming pool has been up and running since last July, the wading component is still missing — and city staff and Coun. Tina Lange both told KTW it likely will not be completed. That has Johnston feeling lied to. He said the wading pool wasn’t a perfect replacement to residents who were unhappy when the pool was torn out, but helped soothe the sting. Now, he said, it feels like a ruse. “It was never in the cards,” Johnston said. “It was just to get the pool closed.” Lange said that’s not true, but noted when councillors agreed to a wading pool and spray park plan at McDonald Park, they did not realize a number of new hurdles had come into effect due to new regulations from the province. “It certainly was to be done, and that was the plan, but we did that in a very short time-

“

It would be a very costly venture to go there, I think, for the sake of a wading pool.

”

— TINA LANGE, Kamloops councillor

line,” Lange said. “We wanted to have it there. We were taking away their pool, we wanted it in time for summer and it was approaching quickly. So nobody got a firm quote. We didn’t realize it would have to be fenced or we would need staff there.” The spray park was part of a broader package of pool repairs and closures on the North Shore, agreed to after it was revealed Westsyde Pool needed millions of dollars in unexpected repairs due to the failure of its vintage vapour barrier. According to parks director Byron McCorkell, the city had planned to use a depression at the base of the spray park as a wading pool and has pipes in place to hook up a chlorination system. But he said such a system would be costly, noting other requirements — including fencing — don’t work well with what’s already in place in the park. McCorkell put the cost of

adding a wading pool, which he said might need to be built as a separate structure next to the existing spray park, at $500,000 or more, which was out of the department’s budget for the year. New wading pool requirements also call for the pool to be staffed consistently during hours of use, adding to the budget. “It’s going to be a considerable amount of money and it didn’t fit into last year’s budget. “And basically that’s where it sits right now,” McCorkell said. Council has the option to get a better cost estimate and add the project to its supplementary budget list for next year, but has not yet debated whether it’s worth moving ahead on the project. Lange said that discussion will probably come after two new councillors and a mayor are sworn in following the Sept. 30 byelection. But she doesn’t feel the wading pool is the best value for the money. “It would be a very costly venture to go there, I think, for the sake of a wading pool,” she said. McCorkell said the park appears to be successful as is. “The park is working very well and it seems to have added the features we wanted in the community and been well-received,” he said.

There are other reasons you need a Will. Even if you die without a penny to your name, you need an Executor to make funeral arrangements and to look after the winding up your affairs after you die, like filing your last tax return - Canada Revenue Agency needs to see a Will, to confirm there is an appointed Executor to process the tax return.

Woman says it was a ‘blessing’ no one hurt in semi hit and run An Alberta woman is hoping a witness can help her track down the driver of a semi-truck involved in an alleged hit-andrun collision on the Coquihalla last weekend. Jackie Carmichael told KTW she was driving home to Jasper from the Lower Mainland on Sunday

when she got a flat tire and pulled over just after 1 p.m.. Carmichael said she was with her two children, ages 11 and 13, stopped well on the shoulder about 30 kilometres south of Merritt. “We were waiting for BCAA to change the flat,” she said. “We were outside of

the vehicle, which is a blessing.” Carmichael said a semi crashed into her SUV and kept going. “He stopped at the top of the hill,” she said, describing the back of the trailer as silver or grey. “The fellow did get out. But then he got back in his vehicle and left.”

Carmichael said she reported the incident to Merritt RCMP and believes other drivers would have witnessed the crash. “They haven’t found the person,” she said. “But there was a lot of traffic that day.” Anyone with information is asked to call Merritt RCMP at 250378-4262.

DUI probe after collision A 37-year-old Kamloops man was lucky to escape serious injury when he was struck by a pickup truck and thrown several metres before landing on asphalt. The collision occurred at about 10:15 p.m. on Wednesday at Tranquille Road and 12th Street on the North Shore, with the investigation leading to police recommending drunk-driving charges be laid against the driver of the truck.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Edward Preto said the driver of a white Ford F250 pickup truck was turning left from 12th Street onto Tranquille Road and struck the man, who was was crossing Tranquille northbound in the crosswalk. “The pedestrian was thrown several metres by the impact and suffered cuts and bruises,” Preto said, noting the victim was taken to Royal Inland Hospital with

non-life-threatening injuries. Preto said the pedestrian was wearing dark-coloured clothing and was reported to have had earbuds in his ears. The 27-year-old Kamloops man driving the truck remained on scene and spoke to police. He was taken to the RCMP’s Battle Street detachment for breathalyzer tests, the results of which led police to recommend charges to Crown.

More wildlife fencing on way Ten kilometres of wildlife fencing will soon be added to the Coquihalla Highway south of Merritt. “Wildlife on our highways present a potential hazard to motorists and can catch drivers off guard,” Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Claire Trevena said. “Increasing the length of exclusion fencing along some of our busier routes, such as the Coquihalla, will keep our wildlife populations — and motorists — safe.” The fencing will connect to existing under-

passes and will allow animals to pass across the highway’s path safely. The new fencing will add to the existing 160 kilometres of fencing along the highway. All told, B.C. has 500 kilometres of wildlife-exclusion fencing. The province is also piloting two new wildlife detection systems on Highway 3 near Elko and Sparwood, which flash warnings to drivers if a large animal is approaching the roadway. Work on the Coquihalla fencing is expected to begin in the fall.

RUSTY CLARK PHOTOS/FACEBOOK

These photos of B.C. Wildfire Service firefighters standing around a campfire at Adams Lake during a provincewide campfire ban in July spurred much online reaction, with many condemning the firefighters and others defending the crew.

Fines for campfire firefighters Three members of the B.C. Wildfire Service have been reprimanded after they violated a provincewide campfire ban in July. A photo of the firefighters enjoying their campfire on Adams Lake near Chase last month was posted on Facebook, going viral and garnering much criticism.

The wildfire service has since investigated and officials said Wednesday one member has been fined $1,150, with warnings issued to three employees. Photos of the firefighters beside their campfire were posted on Facebook and were shared more than 600 times 12 hours after it was posted.

Rusty Clark took the initial photos and posted them to Facebook, asking residents to help him report the wildfire crew. “Can somebody please report these idiots for me please!” Clark wrote. “They’re at Gordon Bay on Adams Lake with a big campfire thinking that it’s OK. “Our own firefighters?”

Kamloops This Week is owned by Thompson River Publications Partnership Limited

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: Kamloops teacher Sheila Johnson, who is headed to a remote First Nations community in northern Ontario, where she will teach for at least two years. The Deer Lake First Nation is located approximately 600 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay, Ont., and is only accessible by air or ice road. The chance to head to northern Ontario was provided by Teach for Canada, an organization that works with First Nations to recruit, prepare and support teachers in remote communities. Without a doubt, both the kids and Johnson will learn a lot in the next 24 months.

OUR

NOT: The cretins roaming the North Shore at night, inflicting wanton damage to vehicles parked along streets. As reported this week in KTW, Kamloops Mounties are looking for the vandals who, over two nights, broke into several vehicles and, for no reason whatsoever, slashed numerous tires. If and when they are caught, the culprits’ sentence should include mandatory detailing for one year of every vehicle they targeted.

VIEW

HOT: Interest in the Sept. 30 Kamloops byelection. With deadline to file nomination papers at the end of the day on Friday, the number of people seeking the mayor’s chair (four) has already equalled the number of candidates in the 2014 general civic election. And the number of candidates (20) seeking two councillor seats is creeping up to the number of candidates in 2014, when 28 people sought the eight council seats.

Where, exactly, do you live?

ince arriving in Kamloops 12 years ago, I have worked in a few different areas of town — without the address of the newspaper ever changing. Kamloops This Week has been located at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. since I arrived in 2005, but where 1365B Dalhousie Dr. rests amid the city’s various neighbourhoods depends on one’s perspective — official city maps be damned. When I arrived, I was told I’d be working in Sahali, despite the fact Sahali ends a good halfkilometre east, at Columbia Street. At one time, a push to have the area around Thompson Rivers University called University District led to some lumping our building into that quadrant. We are, after all, a stone’s throw or two from TRU. Of course, KTW sits in what is officially known as Southgate, though only city mapmakers seem to know this. For some reason, Southgate has never caught on with the public as an easily identifiable area. It does cover a huge area, from Columbia Street between McGill Road and Highway 1 all the way down to the west end of McGill, but the areas within its boundaries are invariably erroneously referred to as “Sahali,” “University District” or, simply, the “McGill industrial area.” Further confusing our geographically challenged citizens is a push from a new group to rename the area above down-

MUSINGS town as Uptown. The area would encompass Southgate and parts of lower Sahali. Would Uptown catch on as a popular way to describe the vast commercial area now referred to as being “up the hill” by many a resident north of the river? Time will tell. There does exist a Sagebrush Neighbourhood Association, composed of residents living in what is unofficially known as South Kamloops (the area bounded by Columbia Street, Highway 1, Royal Inland Hospital and Battle Street). The group wants the area to be called Sagebrush, not South Kamloops, although officially it is neither — it is a part of City Centre, which encompasses the greater downtown area. What we call various areas of town has led to many debates in the newsroom. For years, we referred to all the land on the north side of the river as the North Shore, with the North Shore containing the distinct neighbourhoods of

Brocklehurst, North Kamloops and Batchelor Heights (and, sometimes, Westsyde). Turns out we were wrong. Officially, that entire area is North Kamloops, with the North Shore being a defined area between the Thompson River and Ord Road and the North Thompson River and 12th Street. According to City of Kamloops maps, there are 25 clearly defined neighbourhoods among our 300 square kilometres, from Rayleigh to Barnhartvale to Mount Dufferin to Noble Creek to Tranquille to Rose Hill to the West End to Tranquille. And with all those areas, there are some head scratchers. We all know where Pineview Valley is, but it is, apparently, part of Aberdeen and not its own neighbourhood. And Aberdeen Mall is not even in Aberdeen; it sits in Dufferin (officially Mount Dufferin, according to city maps). I used to live in Aberdeen, with no confusion arising. However, I have moved and my new home address has not made my life any clearer, geographically. I live in Batchelor Heights, but our street is so far in from Batchelor Hills Drive that we are a few kilometres into, and above, Westsyde. I now say I live in Upper Westsyde — it gives my neighbourhood a Big Apple feel. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ARE FIRES NOT MEAT BIRDS ARE FREE RANGE FOUGHT FROM BEGINNING? Editor: An open letter to Kamloops Fire Centre: I would be happy to learn about the way of thinking of our politicians and professionals on how it works when a fire appears. My question is: Why is a small fire left to its nature and allowed to spread and grow into a huge state, especially amid conditions that help fires grow — sunny, hot and dry weather for weeks? I would like to know why is a fire not fought right at the time when it is still manageable? Why are not all available people brought in to fight it when it is possible to extinguish the fire completely? Why is it let go to such proportions that it gets out of control? If such help was there from the beginning, when the fire was small, it would have saved plenty of animals, properties, functional land and timber. Why were the mighty Vancouver Island (Sproat Lake) water bombers not called in? I could not believe my eyes when I read the report from Kamloops Fire Centre in a July edition of KTW — 120 firefighters for 6,150 hectares. Simple calculation gives you one firefighter for 51 hectares. Are we going to spend the rest of this summer indoors or be choked with smoke outdoors, where there is a high risk of all kinds of diseases? Who is responsible and accountable for this? Vera Durst Logan Lake

Editor: Food companies that offer deceptive advertising to get you to buy their products really annoy me. I sometimes spend more money to buy products that promise to contribute to my health so I’ll be healthy and live longer. I think it’s pretty dirty that big corporations would take advantage of this inclination to suggest their products are healthier when they are not. Regularly, I’ve noticed a poultry supplier advertising that its animals are free-range and humanely treated. There is strong implication

that the company stands out from the competition in this regard and should be praised for its contribution to raising the standards for poultry welfare and for creating healthier food. In fact, meat poultry in Canada is all free-range — freerange chickens are raised in large barns with some access to the outdoors — and there is nothing special or particularly healthy or good (for the chickens or consumer) about that corporation’s chicken factory. Chickens still don’t see the light of day, they still have a limited diet and they are still

jammed together in a big building. I think the corporation is hoping consumers will confuse the plight of laying hens with that of meat birds. Most laying hens live their lives in cages. A few farmers raise uncaged laying hens and it costs more to do so, so they charge more for their eggs. Suggesting they are special because their meat birds are uncaged is strawman fallacy. It is unfair for the consumer and unfair for the birds. Tom Puittinen Kamloops

do? If he came up with a zero per cent tax hike budget, then it really is not that difficult, is it?

SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

As a change in the weather continues to roll in, the B.C. Wildfire Service is concerned about what effect it will have on fires across the province. Wind gusts as high as 80 km/h were expected Thursday afternoon. That wind can have a considerable impact on fires in the region. Although the Elephant Hill wildfire northwest of Kamloops hasn’t changed significantly in size, much of it is still burning aggressively within “unburned islands of fuel” found inside the perimeter, according to chief fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek. The blaze north of Cache Creek has burned an estimated 166,000 hectares. Up against it are 413 firefighters, 17 helicopters and 108 pieces of heavy equipment — plus the support of the Kamloops air tanker base. While the cooler weather — and some rain — might offer some relief, the uncertainty of it all means fire crews have no reason to relax just yet. “We’ll see what this wind

The Elephant Hill wildfire began near Ashcroft in early July, with the Boston Flats Trailer Court, sitting between Ashcroft and Cache Creek, one of its first victims. The fire has scarred 166,000 hectares and continues to burn.

does in further contributing to that activity, but this also looks like an area that could receive a bit of rain,” Skrepnek said. The situation is similar around the rest of the province. The record-setting 467,000-hectare Plateau fire burning in the Cariboo is showing little activity, but still burning within its massive perimeter. It’s not just the wind causing uncertainty. Lightning over the past 24 hours is responsible for starting 20 new fires across the prov-

ince, mostly in the southeast region of B.C. — compare that to slower days the province has recently seen, when new fire starts were typically around five per day. So, what will it take to put an end to this fire season? “Real significant rain,” according to Skrepnek. That deluge isn’t in the forecast for Kamloops, or for the Cariboo, where temperatures are expected to cool slightly, but the landscape will remain dry.

Collision sends three to hospital An early morning accident Thursday on Highway 5 North sent three to hospital. Kamloops RCMP said the crash occurred on Highway 5 North at River Street at about 5:50 a.m., when a Honda Civic travelling north attempted to

make a U-turn after missing an exit. The driver of a pickup truck behind the car was unable to stop in time and hit the Honda. Two occupants of the car and the sole occupant of the pickup truck were sent to hos-

pital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Honda was issued a violation ticket for failing to keep right. Debris was cleared and the highway was fully reopened within two hours of the crash.

‘Industry voice’ eyes council Caroline King created the Support Ajax mine Facebook group, but notes her support for the proposed mine is not unconditonal.

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A leader of the city’s pro-Ajax mine force says she is running for a spot on city council to bring a “voice for industry” to Kamloops City Hall. “I’m just tired of the whole vibe we get that only part of the city is represented,” said Caroline King, creator of the 8,000-plusmember Support Ajax Facebook group. King said her issue is council’s opposition to the mine, which it overwhelmingly voted to oppose this summer. “If you’re an antiAjax person, you get a voice on council,” King said. “But if you’re not, you get essentially set aside like you’re somehow misinformed or just not up to their

level of knowledge.” King argued council should have left the issue of the copper and gold mine proposed south of Aberdeen to higher levels of government that have final decision-making power.

“It’s OK to voice your concerns. I think a good opposition is a good thing. It keeps people honest,” she said. “But I think there’s a certain line when you protest something

that’s beyond your jurisdiction, I think that speaks to one side of an issue and not both sides.” King said her support for the mine isn’t unconditional, noting the Facebook group was originally set up to support the environmental review process Ajax is undergoing. However, King believes concerns around health risks related to the mine’s dust production and other factors are likely overblown, a view formed from her family’s participation in the mining industry. King said miners who work in the

Kamloops area aren’t falling ill in large numbers, despite being at the centre of such operations. “I just don’t see it, based on the evidence we have at hand,” she said. Beyond the mine issue, King, who is a care-aide specializing in palliative and special-needs work, wants to explore more options to deal with homelessness and drug-addiction issues on Kamloops streets. King suggests the city might try to connect industry with non-profits to increase funding for needed services. The mayor’s chair and two councillor seats will be filled in the Sept. 30 byelection. Nominations close at 4 p.m. on Friday.

Schmidt says city needs to be thinking local ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A candidate for Kamloops city council says the city needs to look at buying local when it awards construction projects. “I’d like to try and see the money stay in Kamloops,” said Tracy Schmidt, one of 20 candidates in the running for two council seats in the Sept. 20 byelection. “If we hire local, then we can try and keep everything within the city and I think everybody would benefit right now,” she said. “Right now, the Daily News building, that contract is out to somebody in Alberta and that’s not really keeping our money within Kamloops.” While there are various trade agreements — such as the New West Partnership between B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba — which require municipalities

Tracy Schmidt pointed to construction project contracts and homelessness as issues that have prompted her to enter the byelection race.

to allow companies from outside the city to bid on projects over certain dollar thresholds without bias as to location, Schmidt believes the city needs to look for hidden costs that may not be apparent in bids from outside companies. “Sometimes when those people get onto the job, there’s added

expenses,” she said. Schmidt, who worked at an auto dealership and has been a full-time mother and school and sports team volunteer, also wants to look into homelessness-reduction strategies. She recently learned about Medicine Hat, the Alberta city that has

recieved much media attention for claims it has virtually eliminated homelessness. “I’d like to look into that and see if that’s something that Kamloops can promote and encourage people off the street and to be part of society with jobs and that,” Schmidt said. “Because I think it’s just going to get worse and it’s very sad to see.” As to what council’s role would be in such a program, Schmidt said it might take the form of encouraging landlords to increase affordability, among other options. “There’s lots of buildings that aren’t at full capacity and maybe giving lower rental and stuff, and even encouraging them to get out and get jobs, and if they need the life skills, teach those life skills to them,” she said. “People that are on the street, that might

The Canada Games Pool is staying open through Labour Day this year, as the city’s air quality remains in flux. The pool typically shutters for two weeks prior to the Labour Day long weekend, but this year it will close for only two days — for cleaning and maintenance on Sept. 3 and due to the statutory holiday on Sept. 4. The pool’s regular shutdown will now take place in December, with exact dates announced when they are confirmed. “We are happy to be able to hold off on regular maintenance until later this yar to ensure that Kamloops residents and visitors can access indoor activities,” parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said.

not be their choice, so if we could get them feeling confident and get them counselling and stuff to get back into society, we could help with

something like that.” Schmidt said counselling might be provided on contract through New Life Community Kamloops or other

non-profit groups. She said she wants to look further into what Medicine Hat is doing before offering more specific policy ideas.

WASHINGTON — As softwood negotiations with the United States languish, the Canadian government said it’s readying itself for the next phase of the lumber fight, which has historically been a necessary step in resolving this recurring dispute: litigation. Canada’s ambassador to Washington said the two governments have been working hard to get a deal and will continue to do so, but with U.S. industry resistant to an agreement, he said the Canadian side is prepared to fight in court. “We’re going to try really hard in the next little while to get a fair and balanced agreement with the United States,’’ David MacNaughton said Thursday at an event attended by provincial representatives. “If that is not possible, we have all agreed that we will take all necessary steps to litigate this matter until we get a fair arrangement as we have in the past.’’ It wouldn’t be the first time. The issue has regularly gone to court over the decades. The irony this time is that the fight would likely be playing out in dispute-resolution panels under NAFTA’s Chapter 19 — at the very moment U.S. negotiators are asking Canada to end Chapter 19. That’s one reason both countries worked to get a softwood deal before NAFTA talks began this month — but ultimately failed. MacNaughton laid blame upon the American lumber industry, which he accused of spreading false information and stymying an agreement. The industry is a player in these

talks: part of any deal would require it to forsake trade actions for the duration of the agreement. The historical pattern of the softwood dispute involves the U.S. industry launching complaints over what it calls unfair subsidies, the U.S. authorities imposing tariffs and the issue dragging out for year through court fights. MacNaughton said the American lumber lobby is falsely telling people two things: that Canada hasn’t agreed on a cap and that the provinces are split on the details of a deal. “That’s simply not true,’’ the ambassador said. He has already told the Canadian Press that Canada has agreed to cap its exports to about 30 per cent of the U.S. market. He said the only thing Canada is asking for is the ability to expand that cap when the market is so hot the U.S. cannot supply the other 70 per cent. He said it’s unfair to punish Canadian companies, then increase imports from Russia. In fact, in the first half of this year, U.S. imports of softwood from Germany have grown tenfold as import duties have increased the cost of Canadian wood. Representing B.C. was David Emerson, who has grappled with this irritant for years, as a lumber executive and also as a one-time federal cabinet minister. He said he has realized over time that the U.S. lumber industry talks about the need for reform in Canada, but doesn’t really care about that. He suggested they have an interest in prolonging these disputes — not only do tariffs drive up the price of lumber, but U.S. companies have also cashed in by collecting hundreds of millions from the duties imposed.

OTTAWA — Sen. Mike Duffy is suing the Senate and the RCMP for the way they handled accusations about his expenses. Duffy filed a claim in Ontario Superior Court on Thursday, seeking millions of dollars in damages and compensation for loss of income and benefits. The claim alleges his suspension by the Senate was unconstitutional and that the RCMP were negligent in their investigation.

In a statement, Duffy said he and his family suffered stress and serious financial damage and that his lawsuit is as much about the future as it is about the past.

the Senate. The senators suspended him without pay for almost two years and the RCMP charged him with 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery. In April of last year, Duffy was acquitted on all counts. Ontario Court Justice Charles Vaillancourt said Duffy’s actions weren’t criminal, even if they raised eyebrows. Soon after, Duffy returned to Parliament Hill.

Teacher fends off racial attack WINNIPEG — A Calgary teacher says a man who claimed to be a Nazi launched racist verbal attacks at her for wearing her hijab during a visit to Manitoba this summer. Kaniz Fatima said she was with relatives on July 2 in Pinawa, about 95 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg. They were driving around looking for scenic spots and asked a man in a parking lot for directions. Fatima said the man became abusive and told her he was a Nazi, then ordered her to take off her hijab and go back to

her country. Two women who were passing by heard the exchange and told the man Fatima had just as much right to be in Canada as he did. Fatima, who came to Canada in 2009 from Bangladesh, posted video of the encounter on social media this week and said women who wear hijabs need to be prepared for such comments. In the video, the man can be heard telling Fatima: “I’m a Nazi. Do you know what a Nazi is? Take your head towel off in this country.’’

The teacher calls him a racist and tells him she can dress any way she wants, but the man tells her: “It [the hijab] supports Muslims.”Moments later, he says: “Go back to your country.’’ “This is my country,’’ Fatima replies. “No, it’s not,’’ the man says. Fatima said she was shocked and scared for herself and her family, but added there was no physical confrontation. RCMP say they did not receive any complaint and are not actively investigating. — Canadian Press

An elementary teachers’ union in Ontario has issued a call to remove the name of Canada’s first prime minister from schools in the province. The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario said it wants Sir John A. MacDonald’s name pulled because of what it calls his role as the “architect of genocide against Indigenous Peoples.’’ Macdonald was prime minister during the time the federal government approved the first residential schools in the country. The call comes as a number of other figures from Canadian history have recently been scrutinized. Here are five such cases: • Hector-Louis Langevin Until recently, the Prime Minister’s offices were housed in a building known as the Langevin Block, named after Hector-Louis Langevin, a father of Confederation and an architect of the residential school system. The name of the building was changed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in light of Langevin’s legacy: as minister of public works, Langevin argued that a separate school system for Indigenous youth was needed to assimilate them into Canadian culture. Several Indigenous MPs had asked for the name of the building to be changed last February and, in June, their request was granted. The building is now called the Office of the Prime Minister and the Privy Council. • Egerton Ryerson Ontario’s public-education system owes its beginnings to Egerton Ryerson, but he is also believed to have helped shape residential school policy through his ideas on education for Indigenous children. An Indigenous students’ group and the Ryerson Students’ Union have called for Toronto’s Ryerson University to change its name out of respect for residential school survivors. The groups have also called for the removal of a statue of Ryerson

that stands on campus. The university has acknowledged Ryerson’s ideas contributed to the residential school system, but it hasn’t changed its name or removed the statue. • Edward Cornwallis As governor of Nova Scotia, Edward Cornwallis founded Halifax in 1749. A bronze status in his honour stands in one of the city’s parks. But Cornwallis is also known for levying a “bounty’’ on the scalps of Mi’kmaq people after an attack on European colonists in the area. Mi’kmaq groups have long argued the statue should be removed and have called his actions a form of genocide against Indigenous peoples. Members of the Nova Scotia Assembly of Mi’kmaq Chiefs agree that the statue should come down. • Matthew Begbie Judge Matthew Begbie’s statue once stood outside the Law Society of British Columbia. The former judge was known for ordering the hanging of six War Chiefs of the Tsilhqot’in Nation in 1864 for murder. Chief Joe Alphonse of the Tsilhqot’in Nation said the chiefs were defending their territory and traditional way of life against a foreign aggressor — colonial Europeans. The Law Society announced in April that it would remove the statue, calling it a negative symbol of the province’s colonial past. But Begbie’s name still adorns several public spaces in B.C. • Paul de Chomedey An engraving on a Bank of Montreal building in Montreal’s Place D’Armes square notes Paul de Chomedey, sieur de Maisonneuve, killed an Iroquois chief with his bare hands in 1644. It sits just across the street from de Chomedey’s statue, a popular tourist attraction in the city. The engraving has sparked anger from an Indigenous high school teacher, who told the Canadian Press that another marker should be mounted to emphasize the chief was defending his territory. A spokeswoman has said the bank will remove the engraving, pending approval from the Quebec government.

Americans seeking enforcement of U.S. judgment COLIN PERKEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canadian lawyers acting for the widow of an American special forces soldier have filed an application in Alberta — essentially duplicating one filed earlier in Ontario — seeking enforcement of a massive U.S. damages award against former Guantanamo Bay detainee Omar Khadr. The claim calls on the Court of Queen’s Bench to recognize the judgment from Utah and to issue a “corresponding’’ judgment in the amount of $173.88 million — the Canadian value of the US$132.1million American award made in June 2015. “Given that Canada has substantially similar legislation in relation to civil actions for victims of terrorism, it is entirely consistent with the fundamental public policy of Canada to enforce the U.S. judgment,’’ the notice states. “There are no defences to enforcement and recognition that operate in favour of the defendant in this case.’’ According to the

notice, bringing the Alberta action in parallel with the Ontario case is proper “given the territorial limitations of the respective judgment-enforcement regimes.’’ Calgary-based lawyer Dan Gilborn refused to discuss the proceedings on Thursday, saying his office was not authorized to comment. While the Alberta action was filed in early July amid word the federal government was paying Khadr $10.5 million to settle a civil lawsuit, the lawyers acting for the Americans said they were having trouble serving notice on him. “We have thus far been unable to locate Mr. Khadr for personal service, although we are aware that he has been residing in Edmonton, Alta., for much of the past two years,’’ Gilborn wrote on Aug. 14 in a letter to Khadr’s lawyers, a copy of which was obtained by the Canadian Press. One of Khadr’s Edmonton-based lawyers, Nate Whitling, said on Thursday it would be a waste of time and money to try two identical actions at once.

Khadr pleaded guilty to throwing a grenade that killed Speer in Afghanistan in 2002 — when Khadr was 15 — but has since said his confession was a way to get out of Guantanamo Bay.

“It’s two duplicative actions and there’s no point in proceeding with both of them,’’ Whitling said from Edmonton. He added that the Alberta action had been filed too late. Both actions — the Ontario one was filed June 8 — are on behalf of relatives of U.S. special forces Sgt. Chris Speer, who was killed in Afghanistan in July 2002. Speer had been part of a massive American assault on an insurgent compound, where Khadr, then 15 years

The applications — like the uncontested civil suit in Utah — lean heavily on Khadr’s guilty plea before a widely discredited military commission in Guantanamo Bay in 2010 to having thrown the grenades that killed Speer and blinded

Morris. Khadr later said his confession to five purported war crimes was his only way to get out of the infamous prison and to return to Canada. Khadr, 30, who was recently married, has been on bail in Edmonton for the past two years pending his appeal in the U.S. of his commission convictions. The Americans failed last month to get an injunc-

tion freezing Khadr’s assets — including the $10.5-million sources said the federal government paid him — pending the outcome of the Ontario enforcement action. However, in previous Ontario filings, Whitling argued against enforcement of the Utah judgment given its reliance on the military commission. Canadian courts are statute barred from enforcing for-

eign judgments that offend Canada’s public policy, he noted, and the Supreme Court of Canada has found the Guantanamo system contrary to Canadians’ concept of justice. “Officials at the highest levels of the Canadian government have already stated . . . that [Khadr’s] detention and prosecution in GTMO offended our most basic values and principles,’’ Whitling said in court filings.

GLOBAL VIEWS

THE ENDLESS WAR IN AFGHANISTAN

n 2010, Barack Obama’s vicepresident, Joe Biden, vowed that the United States would be “totally out” of Afghanistan “come hell or high water, by 2014.” In 2014, Obama said he would leave about 8,000 U.S. troops there after all and made an agreement with the new Afghan president, Ashraf Ghani, that extended their stay “until the end of 2024 and beyond.” U.S. President Donald Trump wasn’t having any of that. Back in 2013, he tweeted, “Our troops are being killed by the Afghanis we train and we waste billions there. Nonsense! Rebuild the USA.” But it looks like the generals have now got to him with what passes for military wisdom. On Monday, Trump announced he would be sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan — probably about 4,000 —

WATCH and that they would stay as long as necessary. He has a clever new strategy, too: “We are not nation-building again. We are killing terrorists.” (I bet George W. Bush and Obama wish they had thought of that.) There is a strong temptation at this point to haul out the hoary old line: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Trump is, indeed, proposing to do the same old things again,

ostensibly in the hope of achieving different results. Peak U.S. troop strength in Afghanistan was 100,000 in 2010 and 2011. If that did not deliver victory then, how likely is it that boosting U.S. troop numbers from 8,500 to 12,500 will do it now? Neither the Soviet Union nor the British empire at the height of their power were able to overcome Afghan resistance to a foreign military presence. We now have 16 years of evidence that the United States cannot do it, either. Both the British and the Russians were able to maintain a military presence in the country as long as they were willing to take the casualties that involved, but in neither case did the regimes they installed long survive their departure. Whatever their merits, those regimes were fatally tainted by their foreign sponsorship.

SPONSORED CONTENT Valentine’s Weekend at

The United States now finds itself in precisely the same situation. Ghani’s government is certainly not the worst Afghanistan has had to endure, but it lacks legitimacy in the eyes of Afghan nationalists because it depends on foreign troops and foreign money. Since those foreign troops dwindled from 140,000 in 2011 (including non-American troops from a dozen other Western countries) to only 13,400 now, the Afghan government has lost control of about 40 per cent of the country. And the process is accelerating: one-third of that territory was lost in just the past year. Helmand province, which Western troops took from the Taliban from 2006 to 2010 at the cost of almost 600 lives, is almost entirely back under Taliban control — and Uruzgan and Kandahar provinces are next.

Holmes Is WHere THe Is it just me, or have you noticed lately that everyone is busy! I guarantee if you stop to talk to someone on the street and you ask them how they are doing, the response is “slammed” or “swamped” or “hair straight back.” Do you remember the old days when someone rang the doorbell and your whole family was excited? My mom used to invite spontaneous guests in for drinks and snacks and we would all gather around the table to visit. Now, heaven forbid should our land line — if you still have one — ring, or there is a knock on our door. We fall silent and even turn down the lights and not move for fear we may actually have to greet someone. It’s not that this generation is any less friendly, but our days are long and full — and due to our attachment to our devices it feels like our brains never shut off.

Even the capital, Kabul, for so long a bubble of safety, is now regularly targeted by suicide bombers: at least 150 killed in a massive blast in May, 20 more at a funeral in June and 35 more in a bus bombing in July. So, what would happen if the foreign troops all left and the Taliban became the government again, as it was from 1996 to 2001? Would the country become a breeding ground for terrorism? Would more plots like the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks be hatched there? Probably not. The Taliban is essentially a nationalist group. Its extremely conservative take on Islam was not seen as a problem by Washington when the Taliban was fighting the Russians and most rural Afghan males do not see it as a problem now. (Nobody asks the women.) Most urban, educated Afghans are terrified

of the Taliban’s return, of course, but they are a small fraction of the population. Many foreigners see the Taliban as the least bad alternative to the U.S.-backed regime. As Zamir Kabulov, the Russian special envoy to Afghanistan, said in early 2016: “Taliban interests objectively coincide with ours.” What he meant was the Taliban is not interested in foreign affairs at all. The Taliban does not dream of a world Islamic empire; it just wants to run Afghanistan. Indeed, the Taliban is the main military rival to the jihadis of Islamic State and al-Qaeda, who are trying to establish a foothold in the country— and, by and large, they are winning those little private wars. But what about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks? There is good reason to suspect Osama bin Laden and his mostly Arab companions of

al-Qaeda, then guests of the Taliban, did not warn their hosts before they carried out that atrocity, since it would clearly lead to a U.S. invasion and the overthrow of the Taliban regime. Obviously, few of these considerations will have occurred to Trump, but does that mean he really thinks he can win in Afghanistan? Not necessarily. Maybe, like Obama, Trump has simply decided he doesn’t want the inevitable collapse of the Western-backed regime in Afghanistan to happen on his watch. He’s just committing enough American troops to the country to kick it down the road a bit. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose columns are published in 45 countries.

NATURE, ADVENTURE BECKON IN COSTA RICA A two-day river rafting trip on the Pacuare River offers great opportunities to experience Costa Rica’s famous eco-tourism, learn about the country’s indigenous people and spot wildlife in natural habitat.

LAUREN KRAMER

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

his travel story comes with a caution: if you’re visiting Costa Rica for any reason other than its nature, don’t bother. Don’t come for the food, which is easily forgettable. The most popular dishes are gallo pinto, which is riceand-beans, and fried pork skins known as chicharrones. While local Costa Ricans love this food, visitors might well be mystified by its appeal. Don’t come for the driving conditions either, as the winding back roads leading to the coastlines and volcanic regions inland can be perilous, with bathtub-sized potholes and no streetlights out of the city. But if you’re coming for the natural beauty of this small Central American country, you won’t leave disappointed. A tropical jungle filled with lush palms, massive ferns, strangler fig trees and unexpected bursts of bright heliconia, it’s a scene straight out of a Tarzan movie, complete with howler monkeys swinging shyly from the drooping vines and sloths cradled sleepily in tree branches.

A quarter of the country’s landmass is protected from development and its verdant beauty is nothing short of spellbinding. We were grateful to leave the dense bustle of San Jose, Costa Rica’s capital and a city unremarkable but for a handful of colonialstyle architectural buildings easily seen from a bus on the way out of town. Our destination was the Pacuare River, two hours east, where we had signed up for a whitewater river rafting adventure, one of the hallmark tourism experiences in Costa Rica. Over the course of two days , we travelled

30 kilometres over class three and four rapids, spending a night at an eco-lodge where we were hushed to sleep by the thrum of rushing water. The rafting was thrilling, with adrenaline-pumping rapids around every bend and, between them, a few serene, calmer stretches where we could hop overboard. With one hand on the raft, drifted gently in the soft current, watching the iridescent turquoise wings of blue morpho butterflies as they flitted across the river. By early afternoon, we reached the eco-lodge, a series of rustic treehouse-style

rooms located on the river bluffs. Once we swapped wet clothes for dry, there were hikes we could venture on, but it was prudent to exercise caution, our guide Jonny warned us. “There are snakes around here and they get active this time of day,” he said. “Just a few days ago, I killed a very poisonous one outside the dining hall.” As evening fell, we gathered at candlelit tables in the thatched dining hall for dinner with other travellers. The air was thick with moisture, the jungle was shrouded in misty clouds and a steady rain made the palm fronds

glisten in the fading light. It felt magical spending a night on the river bank, surrounded by tropical jungle and just a two-hour hike from the Cabecar Indians, the closest isolated indigenous community. “We have an arrangement with them,” Jonny explained. “They allow us to stop along the river and prepare meals for our rafting guests, but if there’s any food left over, we leave it for them.” A day later, we were back on the dusty Costa Rican roads headed for Arenal, a massive volcano we reached but never saw due to heavy cloud cover.

daring had disappeared. It refused to reappear at the first jump and, instead of rappelling down a 50-metre (165-foot) waterfall, I hiked the shortcut on a rain-drenched, muddy, slippery path that was anything but fun. “You do baby waterfall,” our guide instructed — and I acquiesced with relief. At just 12 metres (40 feet), the “baby” sounded a whole lot more manageable. Suspended by ropes, I slipped cautiously off the rock face, getting a close-up view at the sheer rock face. A waterfall cascaded over my safety helmet, sending icy chills down my spine, but halfway down, I had the sense to looked around, stunned. I had a bird’s-eye view of the jungle, one ordinarily seen only by the large-beaked toucans, howler monkeys and sloths — and it was spectacular.

FAITH

The meaning and purpose of ‘knowledge’

ith the backtoschool/ college season in mind, a preparatory lesson on good and real knowledge might be conducive to the students of next academic year. Few words are as important in the Bible as “knowledge,” which occurs more than 200 times in the New Testament. The Greek equivalents are gnosis (knowledge) and ginosko (I know). The root word in Greek is reflected in the basic English word “know” (which is simply an English form of the root word gnos). More clearly, this root is seen in such words as “ignorance” (not knowing, as in “agnostic”), like one who claims God is unknowable. It has its corollary in “Gnosticism,” meaning a heresy which taught that one is saved by knowledge alone. Most of the English meanings of knowledge are reflected in history of this Greek word. The ancient Greeks used the word to describe recognition, to know something or someone by sight. Later, it came to mean “experience.”

NARYAN MITRA

FAITH

Finally, it was used specifically for knowledge and experience in sexual contexts. To be precise, of the 221 uses of the word in the New Testament, about 82 references are found in Apostle John’s writings alone. Several levels of learning are involved in use of this word: • The introduction to knowledge — coming to know something or someone. Jesus told his disciples that they had the ability to know mysteries concerning his kingdom (Mt.13:11). Those who believe in Christ also come to know the ultimate truth who is none other than Jesus himself (John 8:32; 14:6). Believers can also enter into a knowledge of love. But there are some things which they cannot know this side of glory, one of them being God’s time

schedule (Acts 1:6,7). This introductory aspect also pertains to personal knowledge. Jesus knew his disciples inside out. He also has intimate inside knowledge of all present-day believers. • This biblical knowledge involves understanding. Believers are enabled to understand parables which Jesus taught, in a way which the world cannot understand. By contrast, the world could not comprehend the nature and the role of Christ in God’s plan. Therefore, they slew him (1 Cor. 2:8). For the same reason, vast majority of people do not believe because they cannot understand who the Lord is (Heb.3:10). Understanding goes beyond the introductory concept of coming to know something or someone. • The final aspect of the meaning of knowledge is realization of experiential knowledge. When a woman, suffering from bleeding for some 12 years touched the robe of Jesus, she knew that she was healed (Mk.5:29). In the same incident, Jesus experienced that power had gone from him to her (Lk.8:46).

God alone gives. The poet George Herbert saw this clearly when he penned this line: “Knowledge is folly except grace guide it.” The same insight moved John Bunyan, who concluded: “There is knowledge and knowledge. Knowledge that resteth in bare speculation of things, and knowledge that is accompanied with grace of faith and love, which puts a man upon doing even will of God from heart.” And Blaise Pascal said: “Things human must be known to be loved; things divine must be loved to be known.” This truth was put in simple terms by Charles Ogilvie on the elementary nature of Christian truth: “A child in a Sunday School can know more about God than all you can find in all the analects of Confucius.”

foolishness of a person who “knows the world and does not know himself.” Alexander Pope felt that self-knowledge was most important when he wrote: “Know then thy self, presume not God to scan.” The American humorist Will Rogers spoke of the limit of human knowledge when he quipped: “We know lots of things we didn’t use to know, but we don’t know any way to prevent them happening.” In Wind in the Willows, Scottish author Kenneth Grahame also spoke of man’s limitations when he wrote: “Clever men at Oxford/know all that there is to be knowed/but they none of them know one half as much/as intelligent Mr.Toad.” But beyond human knowledge is the knowledge which

After the feeding of 5,000 people, Jesus was pressed by the mob. They sought to make him King because he had provided food for them. Jesus knew this and realized that they followed him for wrong motives. Knowledge relates to faith. A believer knows what he believes. The spiritual model of knowledge is the Lord himself who knows everything, even the thoughts of people. In the New Testament, knowledge embraces everything from man’s imperfect perception to God’s complete comprehension. Knowledge is as important in literature as it is in the Bible. The Greek writer Juvenal unleashed a whirlwind of ideas when he said “know thy self.” The French writer John Fontaine decried

MAXIMILIAN

JOSEPH MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

aximilian Joseph answered the question with an edge, insisting his given name was not to be shortened in the newspaper. It’s Maximilian, not Max — and get used to hearing it. “My dad just wanted a big, iconic name, something that everyone would remember, and Maximilian just happened to be that,” said Joseph, the Broncos’ first-year receiver who has swashbuckled his way into the end zone twice this season, both times on dazzling special teams returns. “I want it to be a statement. I want my game to be as big as my name.” Joseph’s name was bandied about in rookie-ofthe-year chatter before he set foot on a B.C. Football Conference field, a pressureinducing bull’s-eye he wore with pride “Personally, I liked it,” said Joseph, 19. “That came from hard work, on the field and off. It added pressure, but I think I can handle it.” The hype was warranted. In a heartbreaking Week 3 loss to the Westshore Rebels of Langford at Hillside Stadium, the Langley secondary product returned a missed field goal attempt 109 yards for a touchdown, returned four punts for 28 yards and two kickoffs for 57 yards. He was named the league’s special teams player of the week. Prior to an embarrassing second-half implosion on Vancouver Island last weekend, the Broncos were hanging with the powerhouse Raiders, thanks in part to

more Maximilian magic. He totalled 103 yards on four punt returns and brought one of them to the house in the first quarter. “My favourite thing is probably running down the sidelines and hearing the crowd roar,” said Joseph, whose eyes lit up when talking about returning kicks. “Like, I live for that. I love getting the fans hyped and I like seeing blocks develop, big blocks that literally lead me into the end zone. “I love that and congratulating my team on the blocks because a touchdown is not just me, it’s the whole team.” Landing Joseph was a coup for the Broncos, who have never won a playoff game and would not have been the favourites in the Maximilian sweepstakes. He was recruited by most, if not all, of the BCFC teams after a standout season playing for the North Langley Kodiaks under head coach Chad Henderson in the midget Vancouver Mainland Football League. “It had a huge part to do with the coaching staff and the trainers,” said Joseph, who committed to the Broncos after spring camp in May. “They’ve taken care of me. And the boys who were here last year, they made it feel like it was family here.” After a convincing 41-8 victory over the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack in Week 1, Joseph must have been feeling great about his decision. How does he feel now that the Broncos are on a three-game losing streak? “Like I’ve already said, in the second half of the season, we’re going to shock some people,” Joseph said. “I’m 100 per cent with this team.”

Kamloops Broncos’ danger man Maximilian Joseph hurdles downed players at Hillside Stadium.

Kamloops and the Langley Rams are bringing matching 1-3 records into their Week 5 matchup, scheduled for 6 p.m. on Saturday at Hillside. The top four teams in the BCFC qualify for the post-season. The Broncos and Rams are tied for fourth place with six games each remaining. The Okanagan Sun of Kelowna are atop the standings at 4-0. The Raiders and Rebels, who boast matching 3-1 records, are tied for second place. Kamloops will be hardpressed to beat the topthree teams, so winning games against the Rams

and Huskers (0-4) is of paramount importance. “We’re telling the kids it’s almost a mini-playoff game,” Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka said. “If we win this game, we set ourselves up in pretty good position to get into the playoffs.” If fans get to Hillside early enough on Saturday, they may catch a glimpse of Joseph grooving with headphones on, but they might be surprised at his choice of pump-up music, if it can even be called that. “I’m an old school boy. I like Boyz II Men, a little soft music, some Miguel, 2 Chainz and then Usher is always a big guy,” Joseph

declared proudly. “It’s the calm before the storm. I like to get focused and that gets me into the zone.” Yamaoka won’t care if he listens to Kim Jong Un doing karaoke with Dennis Rodman, so long as it helps him perform on the football field, but the head coach warned the rookie wideout isn’t fully in tune with the offence just yet. Joseph has caught six passes for 53 yards and has eight carries for 46 yards after four weeks of play. There is still plenty of time for his numbers to catch up with his grandiose name, said Yamaoka, noting Joseph is still a rookie learn-

ing to play junior football, warming to a new offence and unfamiliar teammates. The fledgling pass catcher is aiming to break out against the Rams. “I’m from Langley, so I’ve got to play big against these guys,” Joseph said. “Mentally, I feel like the team is ready for it. We’ve been preparing with film and keying on finishing every play 110 per cent. “We’re gonna put on a game, man. This is huge for us. Come out and support the local team. We’re going to put on some big plays, some big hits and some big runs. I can guarantee you that.”

WolfPack aiming to build on unbeaten pre-season MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Unbeaten in exhibition play, the TRU WolfPack men’s soccer team is showing promise ahead of what might be its most important season in program history. TRU is playing host to the U Sports men’s soccer championship in November and head

coach John Antulov is not interested in being a throw-in host team, lambs for the slaughter. The WolfPack, who had two wins and four draws in pre-season play, will get their first taste of regular-season Canada West action this weekend in Prince George, with the UNBC Timberwolves playing host to matches against TRU on

Saturday and Sunday. “The great part was that we got a lot of players into the lineup to take a look at them and we gradually got better as the exhibition season went along,” Antulov said. “We have a good group here and it will be very difficult to choose the 22 players who will travel with us this weekend.” TRU racked up 11 goals and allowed

seven in six pre-season matches and did so while testing unproven talent. “We know that Ryan [Glanville], Justin [Donaldson] and Mitch [Popadynetz] will get it going,” Antulov said. “They didn’t play a lot in the exhibition season as we wanted to take a look at everyone. I am very confident that we will get a lot of balance from our

offence this season.” The WolfPack’s home opener at Hillside Stadium will be held on Sept. 2, when the Victoria Vikes come to town. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m.. TRU will play host to the UBC Thunderbirds on Sept. 3, with game time set for 2 p.m. at Hillside. — with files from TRU sports information

TRU women to wait for home opener The Thompson Rivers WolfPack women’s soccer team’s home opener at Hillside Stadium has been delayed. TRU, originally scheduled to play host to the MacEwan Griffins of Edmonton on Sept. 9 and UNBC Timberwolves of Prince George on Sept. 10, will instead be on the road that weekend. The WolfPack will square off against UNBC in Prince George on Sept. 8 and MacEwan in Edmonton on Sept. 10. TRU was originally slated to play UNBC in Prince George and MacEwan in Edmonton in late October. Schedule organizers were reportedly worried about wildfire smoke in Kamloops in early September and the possibility of snow in Prince George in October, so the switch was made. TRU will hold its home opener on Sept. 23, when the UBC Thunderbirds come to town. Game time is noon at Hillside. The WolfPack women are off to a rocky preseason start, with shutout defeats coming against Capilano, UNBC and MacEwan, and a 2-1 loss to Douglas College on Wednesday. The Pack will finish the exhibition season this weekend in Washington state with matches against Pacific Lutheran College and Saint Martin’s University.

Wishart, who starred with the Valleyview Vikings in high school and played junior football with the Okanagan Sun in Kelowna, had one reception for 12 yards and recorded one tackle. UBC raced out to a 30-0 lead in the first half, led by quarterback Michael O’Connor, who was 23-for-25 for 280 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Wishart’s tackle came in the first quarter when he brought down Tak Landry, who had just intercepted an O’Connor pass. Alberta made a game of it in the second half, with the T-Birds resting many of their starters. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

“Hearing aids made a real difference to my life.” Chris McNeil’s hearing loss was beginning to affect him at work. He was worried he’d never hear well again. Thanks to Miracle-Ear, he was back to better hearing in no time at all. Chris McNeil noticed his hearing had changed following his time served in the military. Over time, he found problems with his hearing were beginning to affect his social life. “It was awful,” he says, “I’d be in a pub talking to my friends and I couldn’t hear a word they were saying. I was getting really desperate.” He also found that it was affecting his career as a bus driver. “People were getting on the bus and you talk to the bus driver’s right hand side, which is my bad ear, so I wasn’t hearing what they were saying. The background noise of the bus itself made it almost impossible to understand anyone – it was very frustrating for me.” It wasn’t until last year that Chris decided to go to Miracle-Ear. “My hearing specialist was brilliant, really approachable, and thorough,” he says. The hearing specialist gave him a free, in-depth hearing test to identify his particular needs. “She showed me all the options available to me, and then once I’d picked a hearing aid, she talked me through why it would make a difference,” Chris says. He was particularly thrilled with the expert care he received. “Everyone in the clinic was helpful, and it was fantastic to have such a great level of service,” he says. On the lifetime aftercare, he remarked, “If I ever have a problem and need to drop in, nothing’s ever too much trouble. They really are very good and have made my life so much easier.” Since having his Miracle-Ear hearing aid, Chris’ hearing has gone so much better, and he’s finding it much easier to hear the passengers on his bus. His better quality hearing has allowed Chris to get back to the things he enjoys doing the most. “I’ve been doing more driving and walking, my wife and I are spending more quality time together, and it’s been great watching more sports on the TV,” he says with a smile. For Chris, the decision to go to Miracle-Ear transformed his life so much that he’s been

recommending them to his work colleagues. “I’d say to anyone who’s thinking of getting a hearing test with Miracle-Ear, ‘do it!’” he laughs. “I just wish I’d gone years before – it’s made a real difference to my life.”

Raonic’s woes continue McGregor bets rolling in TIM DAHLBERG

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canada’s Milos Raonic announced in an Instagram post on Wednesday night that he has withdrawn from the US Open tennis tournament with a left wrist injury. Raonic, who grew up in Thornhill, Ont., said he tried everything in his power to rehabilitate in time. “The pain is too great and, in consultation with my doctors, I am left with no option but to withdraw from the event,’’ he said in the lengthy post. The 26-year-old said he has been dealing with the injury for weeks and has a painful condition. Raonic added he “underwent a procedure to remove portions of the bone that have been causing the discomfort and preventing me from being able to play the way I normally can.’’ Raonic said missing a “truly special’’ event like the US Open is difficult. “I am crushed to miss this event and a chance to play in front of the fantastic New York crowd, but I truly had no other options,’’

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Milos Raonic withdrew from the US Open due to injury.

he continued in the post. “I am already back in the gym starting my rehabilitation, and hope to be recovered and back on the court in a matter of a few weeks. “I look forward to rejoining the tour healthier and stronger and finishing the 2017 year in proper form.’’ The 11th-ranked player in the world was forced to withdraw from the Western & Southern Open last week. Raonic lost 6-4, 6-4 to Adrian Mannarino of France in the second round of the Rogers Cup in Montreal earlier this month. He said after the match that the wrist injury had flared up.

Raonic reached the fourth round of the US Open in three consecutive years from 2012 to 2014, his best results at the final Grand Slam of the season. The US Open starts Monday. Raonic joins 12-time major champion Novak Djokovic, 2016 US Open champion Stan Wawrinka and 2014 finalist Kei Nishikori in missing the tournament because of injuries. Also sitting out the action at Flushing Meadows: 23-time major champion Serena Williams, who is pregnant, and two-time Australian Open winner Victoria Azarenka, who is dealing with a custody case

involving her baby son. Canada’s Denis Shapovalov defeated Portugal’s Gastao Elias 6-3, 7-5 in secondround play Thursday at the US Open qualification tournament. The 18-year-old from Richmond Hill, Ont., will play his third-round match Friday against either Jan Satral of the Czech Republic or American Mackenzie McDonald. The 69th-ranked Shapovalov is seeded second in the qualifying draw after his breakout performance at the Rogers Cup in Montreal. He defeated Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin del Potro en route to a semifinal appearance.

ANSWERS TO THE CROSSWORD ON PAGE A34

LAS VEGAS — Conor McGregor is making a lot of wise guys nervous in this gambling city. Should he somehow manage to knock out Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the early rounds Saturday night, the city’s bookmakers would lose millions of dollars in the biggest single event loss in the history of sports betting. McGregor fans have flooded sports books with $100 bills backing the mixed martial arts fighter, and even a late surge of money on Mayweather might not be enough to balance the books. “I’m OK now,’’ said William Hill oddsmaker Nick Bogdanovich. “But you might want to have a heart monitor on me when the bell rings and Conor starts throwing wild lefts.’’ Bogdanovich said his chain of sports books will suffer multimillion dollar losses — their worst ever — should McGregor win the fight in any fashion. If he wins early as he has promised, the losses would be even worse. The big bettors are putting their money on Mayweather, who is 49-0 as a pro. But so many McGregor fans are betting small amounts that the betting slips at William Hill were 18-1 in the Irish fighter’s favour.

“This isn’t professional money, just the regular Joe,’’ Bogdanovich said. “The butcher and the barber are putting their $100 on McGregor and it’s added up.’’ They’re backing a longshot, hoping that the payoff will be huge. “There’s plenty of money on a guy who has never been in a boxing ring,’’ said Jimmy Vaccaro, oddsmaker at the South Point resort. “It’s uncharted waters and that’s what makes it so interesting.’’ Vaccaro said his sports book stood to lose about $400,000 on a McGregor win, but that was balanced off a bit by a bettor who put $100,000 Wednesday night on Mayweather. His book also took an $880,000 bet on Mayweather earlier that would pay off just $160,000 if he wins. MGM Resorts oddsmaker Jay Rood said the sheer volume of McGregor bets is overwhelming the big Mayweather bet. Rood said his books have taken 6,700 bets on McGregor and only 300 on Mayweather. The average bet on McGregor is $125, while the average for Mayweather is $4,000. Even if McGregor wins and the sports books lose big, all is not lost. “We don’t mind a large decision on a big spectacle like this,’’ Bogdanovich said. “It gets people in our books.’’

Garry Hook

Gary Lawson March 30, 1943 – August 13, 2017 It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my husband and best friend, Gary Lawson. Losing his battle with cancer, he passed away peacefully in my arms. Gary was born on March 30, 1943 to Albert and Kathleen Lawson, in Lethbridge, AB. He moved to Vancouver, BC at age 5, where he did his schooling. At age 18, he joined the 2nd Batallion, Queen’s Own Rifles, Currey Barracks, Calgary. He served overseas as a Peace Keeper. Upon returning home, he trained for auto and then heavy duty mechanics, working in the Vancouver area. In 1993, his work as a heavy duty mechanic brought him to Kamloops. Here he met his soul mate, Elizabeth “Lee” Frocklage, and gained his “family I dreamed of having”. He had a love of the outdoors, passion for hunting, fishing, backroad touring and a great joy of dancing. Gary had been a Member of the Legion BR. 52 and Kamloops Eagles until his fight with cancer left him no strength to participate in these organizations. Gary is predeceased by both his parents. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife Lee and step-daughters Denise (Dean) Trumbley, Tanya Frocklage (Todd MacRae), sister Kay (Reno) Orsato, brother David (Judy) Lawson. He will be fondly remembered by in-laws Carroll and Ted Scott, Isabel Sawich, Marie Turner, Robert Bigham and many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gary’s memory to the BC Wildlife Confederation or BC Cancer Agency.

It didn’t matter what endeavour he attempted, he was successful through hard work and dedication. He was a very loyal and trustworthy friend, so anyone that knew Garry always think of him as living in the hearts of the so many people he touched. As we all know, nothing loved is ever lost and Garry was always loved so very much. Special thanks to Dr. Howie for being our doctor and such a special person. Thank you to Dana Levere for bringing Garry to Ridgeview which became our home for almost three years. Thank you to Shawn for being so special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the staff and caregivers at Ridgeview for the care Garry received. Thank you for all the calls from so many people and thank you to Janet and Steve at Save On Foods for all your caring. Thank you Kim at Alternatives for the care you took of my husband through this journey. Thank you to my so dear friend Marti for the love and support. Thank you to my family for all the visits and phone calls of love. A special thank you to such a dear friend Marv Kempston. Funeral Services to be announced at a later date by daughter Shereen Hook.

Clarence Lavern Anderson March 25, 1930 - August 19, 2017

A kind, honest and hard working man, Clarence passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 19, 2017, from complications related to Parkinson’s disease. He is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years Nancy, his three stepchildren Kim Canary (Al Hatton), Pam Shack (Brian) and Wayne Canary; his five grandchildren Will, Aaron, David, Sheida and Roksana; his four great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends. He was predeceased by his stepson Brian Canary and his four older sisters Beatrice, Florence, Helen and Marian. Clarence loved his family and felt he was a lucky man. He enjoyed spending time with all his children and grandchildren and the many family members who always stopped in to visit. Born in Danskin (Burns Lake), BC to Magnus and Agnes Anderson, Clarence was the youngest of five children. He started work logging as a teenager and later became a welder and heavy duty mechanic in Burns Lake. He was a talented carpenter and could build and fix anything. He built their house at François Lake and was always working on projects for the house or the Sons of Norway. He loved music and playing the accordion, curling, a game of crib and crossword puzzles. He spent many weekends camping and fishing and always had a garden. He especially enjoyed a beer with family and friends. Clarence was very fond of animals and if people wish, a donation to the S.P.C.A. would be appreciated in lieu of flowers. A Service will be held on Saturday, September 16, 2017 at Mayfair Manor, 755 Mayfair Street, Kamloops from 1:00-4:00 pm.

AMALIE GUNHOLD On Thursday, August 17, 2017 Amalie (Ami) Gunhold (Berndl) passed away peacefully at Ridgeview Lodge in Kamloops at the age of 106 years. Ami was born October 24, 1910 in Munich, Germany and at the age of 19, she immigrated to Canada in January 1930 with her family to join her father who had come a year earlier. Arriving in Montreal she travelled to Lethbridge, AB and later to Raymond, AB. Shortly after, she relocated to Calgary and in 1957 moved to Penticton and later to Kamloops in 1998. She always enjoyed good health, the love of her family, and had many good friends and good times. Many thanks and much appreciation to the workers and friends who attended her home care needs, from High Country Health Care and took the time to visit with her, and thanks also to the staff at Ridgeview Lodge whose concern and care for her well being this past year was exceptional. She will be lovingly remembered by her son Alf (Doña) Cook, grandchildren Cambi Cook (Nathan) Labrie and Gavin Cook, great grandchildren Logan, Amalie, Aidan and Chloe Labrie all of Kamloops; step-daughters Shirley Gunhold of Calgary and Margaret (Eric) Lepoidevin of Scarborough, Ontario, niece Eleanor Mahoney of Calgary and nephew Ron Neidermayer of Bisbee, Arizona.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory Of

Trixie Bellos February 9, 1925 August 27, 2016

Our Mom, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. Always remembered with love and many fond memories. Your Family XOXO

Hans K. Jensen November 20, 1934 – August 21, 2017 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Father and Papa on August 21, 2017, at the age of 82. He is survived by his daughters Donna (Rick) and Diane, grandchildren Ashley, Leanne, Matthew and Ryan, as well as his brother Erik (Hilda). He is predeceased by his loving wife Elizabeth of 56 years, parents Hansine and Kristian and brother Poul. Hans was born in Skovey, Denmark on November 20, 1934. At 15 years old he started his four-year apprenticeship as a mason. Upon graduation with top honours he then joined the army for 12 months, after which he worked as a mason in Norway. Thereafter, he visited London and immigrated to Calgary by boat in 1954. Although he did not speak English upon arrival, he quickly learned the language. Four years after arriving in Calgary, Hans met the love of his life Betty, and they were married April 18, 1959. Their family began with the arrival of their first child Donna, born on October 22, 1960 and they welcomed their second child Diane on September 27, 1964.

Hans built his first home in 1961 in Calgary; however, a promising job opportunity moved the family to Kamloops in 1964. Three years later, in 1967, Hans completed building their family home, which he and his wife lived in for 50 years. Hans was well-known and highly respected in the community for his masonry skills and expertise. He co-owned two companies Bilt-Rite Masonry and Bettnel Masonry – before retiring in 2002. During retirement he was able to dedicate more of his free time pursuing other passions such as fishing, hunting, camping, snowmobiling, golfing and bowling. His greatest passion, however, was his family and many friends. He touched the lives of anyone who was lucky enough to know him. We would like to give special thanks to the ambulance attendants, emergency staff, nurses of 7N (Heather, Rachel, Megan, Amanda) and physicians (Dr. Cribb, Dr. Montgomery, Dr. Varma) for their exemplary care during such a difficult time for our family. Prayers will be held on Sunday, August 27, 2017 at 7:00 pm at OLPH Church, followed by the Funeral Mass on Monday, August 28, 2017 at 11:00 am with reception to follow in the Parish Centre. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations be made to the R.I.H. Foundation. Condolences may be expressed online at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

To say Rob loved railroading would be an understatement. Soon after Rob retired from CN at the young age of 48, he realized retirement wasn’t his cup of coffee. With a nudge from Marilyn, he returned to railroading and worked with both the short-line railroad, KPR, and more extensively with CPR, where he continued to work until the ripe age of 67. Sadly, Rob’s vision of his second retirement did not materialize and on September 24, 2015, our lives forever changed when he was diagnosed with ALS. Rob fought this horrific disease with immense courage and strength. Rob passed away with his family by his bedside on August 16, 2017.

John grew up in Rayleigh, BC and started working as a young man at Balco Mill (Tolko) in 1963. He met his lifelong partner, Donna and they married in Quesnel on May 16, 1970. John retired in 2008. He loved the outdoors, farming and most of all, his family. As per John’s request, a Pot Luck dinner and Celebration of Life will take place at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 26, 2017, at the Barriere Fall Fair Hall. Rather than flowers, the family would most appreciate a donation to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House in Kamloops. Condolences may be sent to DrakeCremation.com

Doreen Chalmers (nee Richmond) It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Doreen Chalmers on July 22, 2017 in Kamloops, BC.

1948 - 2017

Rob’s other passions included golf, hockey and fishing, which he loved dearly. Rob instilled the same passion for hockey and golf in his son Aaron and was a dedicated minor hockey league coach in the early years and golf companion in the later years.

1947 – 2017 After a ten year battle with cancer, John Kibble of Barriere, BC, passed away at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House in Kamloops, BC, on August 19, 2017. He was 70 years of age. Born in North Vancouver, BC on January 7, 1947, John is survived by his wife Donna, children Wes (Maureen), Charlie, Rod (Sonja), Susan, Brenda (Rick), Doreen and Glenn; grandchildren Evan, Audrey, Benton, Grace, Madison, Elissa, Blake, Rayanna, Shelby, Lauranna, Phenix, Vaunder and Mayla; two greatgrandchildren Daylan and Harvey; sister Pat Stroesser (Leo); brothers Don Kibble (Mo) and Colin Johnson (Margaret). John was predeceased by his father and mother George and Irene Kibble.

Robert Keating With heavy hearts we say goodbye to our husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Rob Keating. Rob was born in Saskatoon, SK on June 2, 1948. As a young man, Rob began work on the railroads, a career and lifelong passion that shaped his life and took him from Saskatoon to Jasper, AB to Kamloops, BC. While living in Jasper, Rob met the love of his life, his “sweetie” Marilyn. In addition to Marilyn’s daughter Kori, their family grew with the arrival of Terri and the twins, Heather and Aaron. Seeking warmer weather, Rob and Marilyn moved their young family to Kamloops.

John William Kibble

Rob will be greatly missed by his wife of 36 years, Marilyn, his children Kori (Mike Howard), Terri (Derek Deneef), Heather (Brad Patenaude), Aaron (Carmen), his granddaughters “little princesses”, Zoe and Olivia and grandsons “princes”, Braxton, Dexter and Ben, his brothers Peter (Marilyn), Wayne (Kathy) and Doug (Karen) and his broader family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Gus and Helen. The family would like to thank Dr. Stefanuik, Dr. Calder, ICU, The Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, as well as the many caregivers for their support during this difficult time. Condolences are welcome on the Drake Cremation & Funeral Services website www.norththompsonfuneral.com/ obituaries/ In lieu of flowers, the Keating family requests that you consider donating to the ALS Society of BC or the Kamloops Hospice. Rob’s Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, September 3, 2017, at 1:00 pm at the Coast Hotel (1250 Rogers Way, Kamloops, BC).

Doreen was born in Calgary, AB on June 13, 1940, and was the second of three children. After her father enlisted in the service she moved with her mother and older brother to live with her grandparents at their family farm at Tappen, BC. In 1944 her father was discharged after being wounded, and the family then moved to Kelowna where Doreen completed her schooling. Doreen lived somewhat briefly in a number of cities, Trail, Salmon Arm, Vancouver and finally back to Kelowna in 1971 where she began working at Orchard Park Shopping Centre. She worked there until 1981 when she moved to Kamloops and began managing the Thompson Park Shopping Centre, and retired from there in 2005. In her retirement Doreen was an avid bowler and a member of the local Kennel Club. Doreen was very involved with her family, offering her love and support to her daughter, her three grandsons and her nephew. She also offered her support to others that she met, assisting them in many ways. She maintained a long term relationship with Wayne Ongman spanning over 40 years, and in later years offered him her support during his illness. Doreen is survived by her daughter Debbie, and husband Vern Fraser of Edmonton, her grandsons Justin Coles of Edmonton, Jordan Coles and partner Kirrah of Kelowna, and Christopher Chabaylo and wife Courtney and their children Greyson and Maddox of Fredericton, NB, a brother and sister-in-law Bob and Jan Richmond of Kelowna and various cousins, nieces and nephews. Doreen was predeceased by her mother Estelle (Bobbie) Richmond in 1977, father Bob in 1980, sister June Richmond in 1989 and her nephew, (June’s son) David Richmond in 2015. A Celebration of Doreen’s Life will be held in Kamloops on Saturday, September 30, 2017 at 1:00 pm at the Parkside Lounge in the Sandman Centre. Donations in her memory may be made to the SPCA. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

FACE TIME Artist Megan St. Michael’s interesting world is on display at Kamloops Arts Council’s main gallery inside the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 Seymour St. W. You can catch a glimpse of the folk that are regular visitors of Megan’s paintbrush through her sculptures and canvases. The show, What Lies Beneath: Elementals and Ancestors runs to Friday, Sept. 1.

Local author’s second novel is a ‘90s coming-of-age tale JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University English professor often tells her students to write what they know. “I say write about places you know, don’t write about New York City,” Karen Hofmann told KTW. “You’ve never been.” Trying to write about places like New York or London can lead to sounding like copycat and Hofmann said there is opportunity in writing stories about lesser know places like Interior B.C.

WHO SHE’S READING In the shadow of the United States, Hofmann says it can be challenging for writers to become commercially successful in Canada. That said, there are many great Canadian writers. She recommends checking out works by Alice Munro, Michael Winter, Lisa Moore and Margaret Atwood. primarily during a six-month sabbatical in 2015, as part of her research position at the university. It is being published by NeWest Press, the Canadian independent literary publishing house that published Hofmann’s first book and has already tapped a col-

She also won third place in a contest by the Canadian writing magazine Prairie Fire. “For me, it’s setting a goal and saying I’m going to enter this contest and then it makes me finish something,” Hofmann said. “Otherwise, sometimes my writing really gets pushed to the bottom of the pile.” What is Going to Happen Next will be available at Chapters, 1395 Hillside Dr., the university bookstore and on Amazon.

hen Death Note begins, we learn that Seattle teenager Light Turner has a crush on a cheerleader at his high school. So when these two would-be lovebirds finally talk for the first time and really open up to each other, Turner has to be honest: “It’s going to sound a little crazy,’’ he tells her, “but I have a death god.’’ Well, not to be too judgy, but, yeah, that actually does sound a little crazy. Even so, our hero manages to get his companion intrigued and not make a swift exit to calculus. If you don’t have your own death god, you might also want to check out Death Note — until you tap out about threequarters in and run off to calculus. The film, a live-action adaptation of the popular Japanese manga-turned-anime, is about a supernatural notebook that gives the owner the power to kill anyone they like. All they have to do is write the name of someone while picturing his or her face. (There are dozens more rules, of course, but who bothers to really read instruction booklets anyway?) The book, which appears liter-

He has the chilling, unhinged voice of Willem Dafoe, which makes him extra creepy. (Forget apples, Dafoe’s gnawing on the scenery). The original manga — conceived and written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata — has already been turned into a 12-volume book series, a TV series and even a stage musical, among other properties. This time, it’s directed by Adam Wingard and the story has been moved to Seattle. The hero (Light Yagami) is now a super-bright, loner (Light Turner), played by Nat Wolff, trying to keep some sort of acting realism in a film that gets gradually unmoored from reality (as

Netflix’s Death Note is the latest film hit with so-called “whitewashing” claims.

Turner teams up with the cheerleader (Margaret Qualley, who is pretty terrific as she unwinds her inner crazy) to mete out final punishments, first to high school bullies, then going wider to terrorists, drug dealers, serial molesters and gang members. “We can change the world,’’ they claim, giddy after 400 deaths. Not everyone is happy with the sudden slayings of the world’s worst people, especially Turner’s cop dad and a mysterious and

quirky freelance detective (Lakeith Stanfield, whose unsubtle performance has unfortunately been inspired a little too much by comics). They go hunting for whoever is putting them out of business. The reason Death Note is so popular is that it raises tough philosophical questions — Who deserves death? How do you determine guilt? What crime calls out for instant karma? Put aside the demon, and those questions are timely in an era of drone strikes and debates over collateral damage.

But this thriller-inclined version of Death Note doesn’t dwell enough on such questions and instead becomes increasingly strained by its own insanity and clogged by clunky dialogue. Taking its time to establish characters, it then rushes headlong into a montage of bodies piling up, a cat-andmouse chase, stunts worthy of 007 and ends as a twisted love affair with shades of Macbeth. It’s tried to cram in too much and be too many things. Aside from great visual effects, basic stuff gets weird, like a swarm of FBI agents who are tracking a crucial suspect not bothering to listen in or trace his cellphone. These same top-notch feds also get confused by who exactly is wearing a top hat. The film’s use of cheesy songs by Air Supply and Berlin doesn’t help, either. Netflix has faced criticism for the Westernization — or “whitewashing’’ — of the original material, only a few months after Paramount Pictures suffered a flop with its Ghost in the Shell with Scarlett Johansson, who stepped into another cherished Japanese title. But the biggest problem with Death Note is maybe that the filmmakers this time simply didn’t get enough notes — or too many.

Wahlberg tops list of highest grossing actors

Morgan Freeman will be honoured at the SAG award show in January.

Morgan Freeman to receive lifetime honour from SAG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Morgan Freeman will receive the SAG Life Achievement Award at next year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony. The actors union announced this week that Freeman will accept its highest honour on Jan. 21, 2018. The 80-year-old Freeman has already received lifetime achievement prizes from the American Film Institute and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, among many other acting accolades. He has been

nominated five times for an Academy Award and won for his performance in 2004’s Million Dollar Baby. Freeman’s voice is among the most recognizable in entertainment. He has narrated many documentaries and lent his voice to the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Previous SAG Life Achievement Award recipients include Carol Burnett, Betty White, Elizabeth Taylor, Sidney Poitier, George Burns and James Earl Jones.

Dwayne Johnson, Adam Sandler also among top earners THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Transformers: The Last Knight star Mark Wahlberg has outmuscled Dwayne Johnson to become Hollywood’s highest-paid actor in the past year with a transforming income of $68 million, according to Forbes magazine. The former rapper known as Marky Mark beat out Baywatch star Johnson, with $65 million, and Johnson’s The Fate of the Furious co-star Vin Diesel, worth $54.5 million The rest of the top five includes Adam Sandler, flush with a Netflix deal, at No. 4 with $50.5 million and Jackie Chan with $49 million. The top 10 actors banked a cumulative $488.5 million — nearly three times the $172.5 million combined total of the 10 top-earning women. All the data is from between June 1, 2016, and June 1, 2017, before fees and taxes.

Mars meets wrestling source of ‘Bruno’ name JOE MANDAK

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH — Bruno Mars has met the man he’s nicknamed after: former pro wrestling champion Bruno Sammartino. The two met this week when the pop singing sensation’s 24K Magic World Tour stopped in Pittsburgh. Sammartino heard through friends that Mars, born Peter Gene Hernandez, was nicknamed “Bruno’’ by his father because he was a “chunky’’ baby. The wrestling legend — now 81 — was about 275 pounds in his prime and the favourite wrestler of Mars’ father. Sammartino told The Associated Press that he didn’t know much about Mars before the meeting, but came away “extremely impressed.’’

“I hope he’s like that in everyday life. He was the most humble, nicest guy,’’ Sammartino said. “He couldn’t have been more respectful.’’ Sammartino jokingly gave Mars a picture of himself in his wrestling “prime’’ to prove he was more muscular than chunky, and a replica of his championship belt from what was then known as the WorldWide Wrestling Federation. The group is now known as World Wrestling Entertainment, or WWE. Mars posted a picture of the meeting on Instagram saying, “I was nicknamed after this professional wrestler Bruno Sammartino. Tonight in Pittsburgh I had the honour of meeting him!’’ Mars, 31, told the website

RapUP in a May 2010 interview that his dad nicknamed him for the wrestler. “Bruno is after Bruno Sammartino, who was this big fat wrestler. I guess I was this chunky little baby, so my dad used to call me that as a nickname,’’ Mars said. “The Mars came up just because I felt like I didn’t have no pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I’m out of this world, so I was like, ‘I guess I’m from Mars.’’’ Sammartino said Mars got curious enough about his career to check out clips of him in YouTube. He told Sammartino that he planned to chat with his father about the meeting. “He told me, ‘You know, I called my dad and told him I was going to meet with you today and he was so excited,’’ Sammartino said.
