A hole in the fence affords a view of the tee area on Hole No. 2 at the McArthur Island Golf Course. Flooding this past spring led to owner Bill Bilton closing the track for the season. Whether the course opens next year remains to be seen.

The owner of the McArthur Island Golf Course said he may consider other uses for the leased property based on discussions with the city. The golf course at the west end of McArthur Island closed in the spring following high water that wreaked havoc on the facility, said owner Bill Bilton, who holds a long-term lease on the city-owned property. “We got terribly flooded this year,” Bilton told KTW. “It’s pretty well dried up . . . It knocked the hell out of the course.” Bilton said he had a crew out this week cutting grass, but the nine-hole short course will not reopen before winter. Flood damage was the worst he’s seen at the

course, despite other years with higher river levels. Bilton, a property developer who also owns The Dunes at Kamloops Golf Course, said the links on McArthur Island may reopen in spring, but he is open to other plans in conjunction with the city. A city official said the lease has at least two decades before expiry. “Between now and then [next spring], I’ll sit down with the city,” Bilton said. “There could be other options they’d allow.” Byron McCorkell, the city’s director of parks, recreation and cultural services, said the original plan for McArthur Island deemed it as a multi-feature park. “Mr. Bilton came in during the ‘80s and presented to the city an opportunity for a community recreation feature,” McCorkell said.

“And that required a long lease.” McCorkell said there is no immediate desire by the city to look at other uses, but noted it is open to conversation. Bilton said his lease is restricted to a nine-hole course and mini-golf — and nothing else. “If I wanted to do an RV park — I can’t do it,” he said. “Boy, would it make a good RV park.” Other ideas include an 18-hole pitch and putt or just turning the fairways and greens into a park area without sports fields. “Everyone doesn’t play soccer or golf,” Bilton said, adding he will take direction from the city when the two sides meet over the winter. In August 2007, the city paid Bilton $1 million for the clubhouse (now home to the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association headquarters) and driving range (which was converted to soccer fields).

Mounties have arrested a suspect in connection to the Sept. 7 mugging of an Australian tourist in the downtown core. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the arrest took place on Wednesday afternoon, six days after the robbery and only hours after police released photos of the suspect, taken from security footage captured downtown moments after the mugging. Shelkie said numerous tips were sent in to police after the photos were sent to media. Charles Andrew Douglass, a 37-yearold Kamloops man, is charged with robbery and remains in custody pending a Sept. 21 bail hearing. The mugging occurred at 7:25 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 7, when the tourist was walking near Lansdowne Street and Third Avenue. A man ran by and yanked the purse from her arm. A bystander gave chase, but the suspect got away. The purse and its contents were found a short distance away, with the wallet missing. While the tourist was not injured, she was shaken up, according to police.

More candidates’ views on municipal taxation Taxation has always been a hot-button issue in Kamloops. With property tax increases an annual reality, many homeowners are feeling the crunch. Some residents have called for a tax decrease and at least one mayoral candidate is campaigning on a zero tax increase platform. This week, taxation is the byelection issue on which KTW is focusing. The story outlining the issue ran in Tuesday’s paper and is online at kamloopsthisweek. com, under the Kamloops Byelection tab. Today, we list the views on the issue from the final grouping of councillor candidates. Views of all candidates can be read online. JEANNE MARR “A zero percent tax increase may be feasible and definitely a goal to strive for; however, in order to attain and achieve this goal every year, there are services that will suffer or cut. “The concept of ‘you get what you pay for’ rings true here and, unfortunately, there are increased obligations for municipal government from senior government to bear the cost of services, such as social agencies, affordable housing and health care. “Municipalities also need to maintain basic infrastructure while facing the pressure of keeping taxation low. We need to continue to look at efficiencies within the budget; there are areas in every budget where excess spending happens. These are public funds and they should be treated as such.” BILL SARAI “Anyone who promises a zero per cent tax freeze is simply sending smoke and mirror signals. “We are legally committed to pay the city staff wage increases, including their raises, which include our local RCMP detachment staff and building maintenance. There are also set increases in our firefighters’ new collective agreement. We have aging infrastructure throughout the city that needs upgrading. “To say we can just freeze taxes for the next couple of years will result in taxpayers paying twice or three times as much in the long term to catch up. “My platform is to collectively address each city department and determine if there are any opportunities of us supplying a service at the current level or better for a lower cost. I am totally against a steady 2.5 per cent tax increase every year, however. “Attracting more businesses

Mayoral candidates talk taxes Page A10 and professionals (i.e. doctors and specialist, wineries and green energy) will, hopefully, result in them opening up their shops here and contributing new streams of tax revenue while creating jobs.” JIM MICHALS “The question really should be: Are we getting best value from our tax dollar? The answer is no. “Kelowna has a lower mill rate, but a higher residential base and some argue better and more amenities. The bedroom communities around Kamloops have a higher mill rate than Kamloops, but we compare fairly with other comparable sized B.C. cities with similar services. “Any council can freeze taxes, but you are guaranteed a status quo or diminishing development future plagued by high maintenance and operating costs. Only a strong strategic plan and economic plan can improve the scope and value of our municipal services. This is done with realizing efficiencies and increasing business and commercial revenue that comes to the city as tax.” GERALD WATSON “I am in favour of a core review/process audit. “We need a top to bottom review of the services the city provides, at what levels and at what costs. There are always ways to improve what we do and how we do it. “I doubt a zero per cent tax increase can be achieved without a cut in service levels, but that should be the starting goal in every budget cycle. Our tax levels should be tied directly to service levels and I have the impression there has been a disconnect (increasing taxes and decreasing service levels).” BRAD SERL “I don’t think a zero per cent tax increase is realistic, unless Kamloopsians are willing to accept a cut in services, which I certainly am not. “A tax increase that matches the rate of inflation (1.2 per cent for this year) is far more realistic. The costs associated with two of the city’s largest line items

(solid-waste management and parks and recreation) aren’t going to stay flat and the city must pay these costs. “Another problem I have with a zero per cent tax increase policy is that it’s saving money now, only to spend it later. Our infrastructure must be maintained and if we decide to not increase taxes this year and cut costs on such maintenance, that will saddle next year’s taxpayers with higher taxes to make up for the proposed shortfall in this year’s revenue. “If Kamloops wants to become known for innovation and to retain and attract entrepreneurs, doctors and the skilled workforce graduating from TRU, we must invest more, not less, in infrastructure and services.” KATHY SINCLAIR “As a non-profit leader, I’m quite familiar with zero-based budgeting and I would bring that sense of fiscal responsibility to the council table. “That said, why do we see property tax increases? Because there’s a cost to maintaining current services and adding new ones. In the city’s case, the reason for increases include contractual obligations for firefighting, policing and staffing, as well as debt servicing. “Contracts can’t be easily changed, but perhaps the city could accelerate debt payments to avoid both large tax increases and reductions in services, and other revenue sources could be gained. “We may not love paying taxes, but I think what we really dislike is not feeling we’re getting value from paying them. “Are the reasons for property tax increases being communicated effectively? What would give us the sense that we were getting value? “The City of Calgary froze tax increases in 2016. The resulting budget shortfall was covered by a $22.5 million withdrawal from reserves. To me, this is not an effective long-term solution.” KEVIN KRUEGER “I believe that no government should operate on an expectation of increasing taxes annually, but only increase them if very necessary. “It is better to increase opportunities so that there is a growing number of taxpayers earning rising incomes. “Government should always be striving for efficiencies; improving services through innovation and good management.”

The smartphone debate in Kamloops classrooms Broad district policy generally leaves discretion on devices in hands of principals and teachers TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

aren Bates is no luddite. The Valleyview secondary teacher actually considers herself something of a technophile. “I have the latest phone, I use my phone all the time, I’m on Twitter,” she told KTW. “I use Google Classroom, I’ve been to Google Classroom conferences, I like technology. I just haven’t found that phones are very useful in my classroom setting.” So Bates, who teaches foods and psychology, made use of an emerging technology to tackle an emerging issue — students and smartphones. She took $200 of her own money and bought a class set of Yondr, a device marketed largely toward concert venues, comedy clubs and movie theatres to prevent unauthorized filming of shows. Each Yondr pouch — Bates

has 30 of them — holds one cellphone and locks magnetically. Only Bates has the power to unlock the pouches at the end of class. The phone and pouch stay with the student, meaning the device is never really confiscated, just disabled and locked away. “It seems to work really well,” she said, noting she uses Yondr as a remedy and not a rule. “They’ve been explained the system, they

know it’s coming. In whole, it works really well.” But Bates is not necessarily in the majority. According to KamloopsThompson school district principals, high school students are generally free to use their smartphones in school — so long as

they’re being productive. The district’s policy is broad, leaving discretion in the hands of principals. More often than not, that authority is passed down one step further to teachers. “In our school, we give individual teachers their own discretion when it comes to devices,”

said Thomas Dinsdale, principal at Westsyde secondary. “Going back a few years, the rule was, basically, ‘Don’t bring your phone out — ever.’ But we’re at a point now where they’re actually pretty useful. Most schools, ours included, have Wi-Fi that we provide for students.

“If it’s just a simple looking up information, some teachers will say, ‘Yeah, go ahead,’ as long as they’re using the devices appropriately.” It’s a similar story at South Kamloops secondary. “We have a policy here that, basically, electronic devices are permitted during instructional time at the discretion of the teacher for educational reasons,” Walt Kirschner, SKSS’s principal, told KTW. “What we’ve been trying to impress is the educational benefits that can come [with the use of smartphones], especially with the new curriculum.” A school district in the Lower Mainland has recently amended its technology policy to outlaw access to social media sites on school Wi-Fi. The move by the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows school district took effect when classes resumed earlier this month. The Kamloops-Thompson school district’s policy on smartphones and social media is intentionally broad, according to the district’s spokesman, because the issue is so wideranging. “There can be value in allowing students access to their social media on their electronic devices,” Robert Koopmans told KTW. “But social media is such a broad issue. It’s something that, so far, the schools have managed on their own.” The local teachers’ union president said it’s a bit of an old-school-versus-new-school standoff, but not necessarily one that’s being waged between

As a private school, St. Ann’s Academy is not part of the Kamloops-Thompson school district and is not bound by any of its policies, including those on electronic devices. The venerable downtown school has had in place for four years a strict policy banning cellphones during the school day. “They cannot bring their phones to class,” principal Shawn Chisholm told KTW. “They can bring them to school, but after the first bell at 8:30, they can’t use their phone until dismissal at 3 o’clock.” Chisholm said students are free to use their devices during breaks — just not inside the school. He said response to the policy when it first came into effect wasn’t great, but students have come around. “I think initially when there’s a change, there was kind of a negative response,” he said. “But the students get it.” Chisholm said the policy was enacted because cellphones had become a common distraction in

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The reaction of the community upon news that a beloved figure on Kamloops streets may have had his shopping cart seized by authorities. It turned out the social-media buzz was a bit light on facts as Michael O’Shea still has the cart that contains his worldly belongings. But police have cracked down on those who steal shopping carts, as businesses are victimized, which naturally led to O’Shea fearing he might be targeted. When word spread, numerous people responded to a fundraiser organized by Elie Hanna, owner of Frenchies Poutinerie, raising enough money to get a custom-made cart for O’Shea. If nothing else, the issue has demonstrated the generosity of Kamloopsians.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: The opioid epidemic in B.C. and across Canada, which continues to get worse despite attempts by authorities to save lives. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, an average of 16 people a day were hospitalized in 2016-2017, while hospitals across the country registered 5,670 admissions related to significant opioid poisoning in 2016-2017, up from 3,344 in 2007-2008. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, Kelowna had the highest rate of hospitalizations due to opioid poisoning in 2016-2017, with a rate of 36.3 per 100,000 population. The data mirrors bad news provided by monthly updates out of Victoria, with last year’s record number of deaths — 914 — expected to be surpassed, and perhaps doubled, this year. Despite mobile supervised drug-use RVs, the fact remains most deaths occur in private residences. Education is key, but are users even listening?

Little integrity left to protect

uring the past summer of political uncertainty in B.C., there was a lot of earnest talk about protecting the integrity of the Speaker of the legislative assembly. The legislature website describes the role this way: “The Speaker is neutral, responsible for making sure that all MLAs, no matter what party they belong to, are treated fairly and impartially.” This claim has taken a beating this year, notably on March 16, in the last question period before the spring election. NDP Leader John Horgan was pressing then-premier Christy Clark on huge corporate donations to the B.C. Liberal Party, amid loud and ugly heckling, even by B.C.’s coarse standards. B.C. Liberal MLA Linda Reid’s weak performance as Speaker was ending that day and she apparently gave up even the pretence of neutrality. Reid admonished “members on both sides” to behave and, in a move that should have got him expelled, Horgan turned on her. “Members on both sides?” he snapped. “What are you talking about? They’re braying like donkeys and we’re quiet.” Horgan was right. A small thing, but it illustrates the state of the people’s house today. Which brings me to the new Speaker, suddenly independent Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas. After the B.C. Liberal Party cancelled his membership last

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA weekend, Plecas granted a softball interview to a Vancouver newspaper. He allowed that he secretly negotiated a deal to become Speaker and help prop up the NDP-Green alliance so the people can have stable government. What a guy. Plecas is a central figure in the post-election drama. Elected in 2013 by his party’s brand, he had no hope of making Clark’s cabinet, dominated as it was by Fraser Valley veterans Mike de Jong, Rich Coleman and Mary Polak. As Speaker, Plecas gets a $50,000 raise to a cabinet minister’s salary. Plecas was repeatedly wooed by the NDP and Greens during the summer to take the Speaker job, and give their precarious minority one more vote. This would, of course, provide vital assistance to the new government to undo 16 years of B.C. Liberal policy, so Plecas rejected it as an unthinkable betrayal of the party and voters who supported him. And rightly so. At a party retreat in Penticton after the B.C. Liberal govern-

ment was defeated, Plecas threatened to sit as an independent if Clark stayed on as leader. Apparently looking for an excuse to exit, Clark not only quit the leadership on the spot, she vacated her Kelowna West seat too. That’s two valuable gifts for the NDP-Greens from two unlikely sources. NDP house leader Mike Farnworth handled talks with Plecas. He’s a hero to his party and didn’t dirty his hands in the process. It was Plecas who misled his party and constituents to cover his tracks. And so this is how Plecas begins his term as the symbol of fairness and integrity. Interim B.C. Liberal leader Coleman, himself a chronic, bullying abuser of legislature debate rules, was asked if he could respect Plecas in his new role. “I respect the position, but not him,” he replied. Green Leader Andrew Weaver’s contribution to all this was to gloat and to misrepresent Plecas’s action as some sort of noble gesture to work collaboratively across party lines. He accused the B.C. Liberals of “acting like high school students” because they didn’t applaud Plecas for his betrayal. A recall campaign in Abbotsford South is already gathering steam. It remains to be seen if Plecas will last the two years he needs to collect his suddenly enriched MLA pension. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WE NEED FEWER SERVICES WILL NOT HELP TO KEEP DOCTORS Editor: Re: (‘RIH preparing for construction,’ Sept. 12): I don’t know if rehab specialist Dr. Jill Calder would leave Kamloops if the proposed Ajax mine were to proceed. I do know she opposes the project and is a moving spirit in the Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment Society’s opposition to the mine. It would be a pity to lose Calder and her husband, Dr. Bob Walter of Royal Inland Hospital’s department of medical imaging. We don’t have enough doctors in Kamloops. We can’t afford such losses.

Editor: The ongoing homelessness situation seems to be on everyone’s mind lately, with the RCMP last month asking for help in addressing the issue. It’s been interesting to read others viewpoints on the situation. I agree with Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller that Mounties cannot arrest their way out of this situation. Some have suggested the issue is due to Kamloops offering too many services for homeless and others may blame Interior Health’s mobile supervised drug-use RV, but I disagree. Removing the mobile supervised drug-use unit won’t stop needles from littering the streets, nor will drug use suddenly end.

It will continue on as always and we will find more needles in public places and more overdose deaths in the statistics. As for the idea that providing fewer services will help, that doesn’t make sense. Homelessness doesn’t end if services are cut off. Many people fall into homelessness for numerous reasons and, without services, they would just line the streets with no place to sleep. How does this solve the problem? A recent KTW editorial made a good point by saying we should be looking at solutions from our neighbours to the east, in Medicine Hat. Since 2015, the Alberta city has officially been free from chronic homelessness not by cutting services, but by actually having adequate

services to help, with the main goal of housing first. Of the thousand or so in the program, it has had an 81 per cent success rate in getting people back on their feet. It has also seen declining costs in terms of crime, health care and child-welfare services. The best way to save taxpayers’ dollars is to get these people back into society so they don’t take up jail cells, court time and health-care services. We could also, possibly, end the need for a taxpayer-funded mobile supervised drug-use unit. The city should look at meeting with a delegation from Medicine Hat to determine how such a program can be implemented here. Thomas Schiff Kamloops

BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING DOWNTOWN KTW reader Tanya Berkhout says the city should look at using the former Kamloops Daily News property as a site to house people who need roofs over their heads.

Editor: As an action-focused strategy on affordable housing, why not build a complex on the old Kamloops Daily News property downtown? It would provide access to local parks, transit, medical and hospital care, library, immigrant services and bring more life to our downtown community. Even if it isn’t a moneymaking endeavour, it seems more utilitarian than a parking lot. Taya Berkhout Kamloops

REGISTRATION KAMLOOPSHOSPICE HOSPICE REGISTRATIONBY BY DONATION DONATION KAMLOOPS

From tax breaks for tiny houses to a tax freeze in 2018, Kamloops’ mayoral candidates don’t all agree on how the city should manage its money in their one-year terms. Glenn Hilke wants to look at issues of tax fairness in the city, noting lower income families and homes of lower value can feel the shift more dramatically when taxes or home assessments rise. “I would be interested to see a review of the property tax system and see if there’s a fairness in it, or if it needs to be modified and adjusted in relation to the value of people’s homes,” he said, suggesting properties under a certain value might pay a lower rate than homes worth more. Hilke also wants to launch taxation pilot projects, where homeowners who add legal suites, carriage houses or other affordable housing get a tax freeze for a few years or some other incentive. “If they can help to make housing affordable, we could look at giving them tax breaks for doing their part to offset the housing crisis that we have,” he said. Todd Mcleod wants to rule out any big-picture projects, such as an arts centre, a stance he shares with candidate Stuart Holland. Instead, Mcleod wants to see the city focus on its roads and sidewalks. “The input that I’ve received from a lot of people is that the state of our roads — there’s a lot of pot holes, there’s a lot of communities concerned about pedestrian safety and sidewalks,” he said. Mcleod wants other city departments to find efficiencies, so those savings can be put to

road projects. “If it’s a matter of needing more money, then I’m hoping council would be willing to look at more money. I’m sure the public would want our infrastructure repaired,” he said. Holland also has sidewalks on his mind. As mayor, his goal would be to put a sidewalk in front of every home in the city. Holland would also like to see any tax increases kept as low as possible, which he suggested could be done by bringing all outside consulting work in-house. “We have an engineering department that knows how to draft blueprints. We bring that work in-house and we bring costs down,” he said.

KAMLOOPS BYELECTION 2017 Saturday, Sept. 30

Holland also suggested the city remove four to five feet of sidewalk on either side of Victoria Street and install angled parking, saying that could help expand the downtown tax base Bill McQuarrie, whose promise of a zero per cent tax hike next year launched his campaign, gave KTW some suggestions for where he might look to find savings in the 2018 budget. “Last year, we collected an extra million dollars on the recycling [due to a contract with Recycle BC]— it was $1.2 million in fact, in addition to the utility service fees we collected,” he said. “So there’s a million right there.” Also in his crosshairs is a public

art installation at the Lansdowne Street parkade, which the city has budgeted at $125,000, but which McQuarrie claims could cost up to $500,000 with installation. He also wants to review the city’s outside contracts to determine if they are including escalation clauses above the rate of inflation. Asked whether that would include city staff — who have received raises of two and 2.5 per cent in some years of the city’s current contract — McQuarrie hopes to find “common ground” with workers if elected through the end of the contract in 2019. While other candidate have talked about trying to stick to the rate of inflation, Ken Christian said that approach doesn’t acknowledge that costs facing the city aren’t hewing to the Consumer Price Index. “We have some contract obligations, particularly an RCMP one that’s come due, and others that are above the rate of inflation,” he said. “And we have to pay those bills. The rate of increase for insurance next year, ICBC costs, is going to be astronomical. We have to pay that bill.” Christian does not believe other candidates will find as many easy efficiencies as they expect to at city hall, noting the city has already taken steps, such as renegotiating its phone bills to bring costs down and changing its approach to purchasing. He said council should be cautious of creating new staff positions and not approve every request made at the podium if it wishes to keep costs down. Candidate Micheal McKenzie did not respond to multiple requests for comment from KTW.

This logging truck crashed and burned following a collision on the Trans-Canada Highway, west of Chase, on Thursday morning. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries reported after the truck collided with a Honda Civic.

Fiery crash closes Highway 1 Two drivers walked away from a fiery collision on the TransCanada Highway Thursday morning near Chase. Chase RCMP Cpl. Scott Linklater said police received a report of a collision on the highway about four kilometres west of Chase shortly before 6 a.m. Linklater said the investigation found a westbound Honda Civic and eastbound logging truck “struck sides. “As a result, the driver of the Civic lost control of his vehicle and it rolled into a field on the south side of the highway,” Linklater said. “The logging truck entered the south side ditch, rolled onto its side striking a hydro pole and breaking the power lines.” The truck caught fire, but both drivers were out of their vehicles and walking after the collision. They were transported to Royal Inland Hospital as a precaution. Linklater said neither speed nor alcohol appear to be factors. The accident closed the highway for a period of time and remains under investigation.

year and international student enrolment is trending in the same direction. A memo by assistant superintendent Rob Schoen to superintendent Alison Sidow, presented at Monday’s school board meeting, reviewed the district’s international student

enrolment numbers and goals. This year, School District 73 has 172 international students in seven schools from 17 countries, the highest number to date, as reported in the memo. The district’s goal is to accommodate 300 international students. That number was set

by retired superintendent Duane Sutherland in the most recent review of International Education. The memo also reviewed historical information about the program. In 1998, the district had just 20 international students. The program grew to 85

students by 2004, but saw no growth until 2010, when staffing changes led to better marketing and growth of the program. The majority of international students are coming to SD73 from China, followed by students from Brazil, Japan, Germany and Mexico.

The Kamloops Wholesale Sports store will shut its doors after its parent company announced Thursday it is winding down all its retail outlets. United Farmers of Alberta Co-operative Ltd. (UFA) announced it will begin “the orderly wind down and eventual closure of its 12 retail locations in the four western Canadian provinces.” The Kamloops Wholesale Sports location opened a decade ago on Notre Dame Road in Southgate.

It is the largest retail outlet in Kamloops of its kind, selling camping, fishing and hunting equipment. A call to the Kamloops store Thursday went voicemail, with a message that a “liquidation of up to 30 per cent” is scheduled. The company said inventory sales will begin Friday and will be managed through inventory management speciality company Gordon Brothers. “There were numerous external factors that led to this decision, including an

increasingly competitive environment, the continued shift to online purchases and an overall slowing of consumer discretionary spending as a whole, including the outdoor industry,” UFA president and CEO Carol Kitchen said. “The orderly wind down of Wholesale Sports will allow UFA to focus on its core business of agriculture and petroleum.” The liquidation that starts Friday will continue to Dec. 28. It is shutting down its online store immediately.

Prosecutors won’t appeal rejection of high-risk label for Schoenborn He killed his three children in Merritt in 2008 THE CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — British Columbia’s Crown prosecutors’ office says it will not file an appeal of a judge’s decision rejecting a high-risk designation for a man who killed his three children. Allan Schoenborn was convicted of the first-degree murders of his daughter and two sons in February 2010, but a judge ruled he was not criminally responsible on account of a mental disorder. A review board ruled in 2015 that Schoenborn should have escorted access outside of the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital where he’s being held in Port Coquitlam, and the prosecution service announced it had applied to have him designated a highrisk accused.

ALLAN SCHOENBORN

A B.C. Supreme Court judge decided last month that Schoenborn didn’t fit the criteria for the high-risk label, and while the killings were brutal, they were committed because of the man’s delusional state. The prosecutors’ office said

in a news release that after a thorough review it has determined there is no legal basis for an appeal. The office said Schoenborn hasn’t yet been permitted to go on escorted outings, his detention will continue to be reviewed, and the Crown will appear at the review hearings to advocate for the public interest. In April 2008, Schoenborn killed his three children — 10-year-old Kaitlynne, eightyear-old Max and five-year-old Cordon — in the Merritt home they shared with their mother, Darcie Clark. The slain children were found by Clark when she returned home. Schoenborn fled to the hills outside Merritt, where he was eventually captured by a rancher a week later.

Jurors in Kelowna were into their second full day of deliberations Thursday following the second murder trial of Peter Beckett, the former New Zealand politician accused of killing his wife on a B.C. vacation more than seven years ago. Peter Beckett is charged with murder in connection to the death of his wife, Laura Letts, on Aug. 18, 2010. She drowned in Upper Arrow Lake, south of Revelstoke. Following a months-long trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops last year, Beckett’s jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision after more than a week of deliberations. His second trial began late last month. Jurors in Kelowna began deliberations at about 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday.

he last time North Korean nuclear weapons might have been headed off by diplomacy was 15 or 20 years ago, when there was a deal freezing North Korean work on nuclear weapons, followed by an agreement stopping the country’s work on long-range ballistic missiles. If they had been negotiated with the same attention to detail that was given to the recent deal that has frozen Iran’s nuclear program for 10 years, maybe North Korea’s quest for nuclear-tipped ICBMs could have been stopped for good. Or maybe not, since North Korea has always wanted an effective deterrent to the permanent U.S. nuclear threat. At any rate, both the nuclear and the missile deals with North Korea failed after a couple of years. Pyongyang and Washington were equally to blame for the break-downs, resorting to tit-for-tat retaliation for various perceived breaches of the deal by the other side. But it was the United States that had more to lose, since it faced no nuclear threat from North Korea unless the deals were abandoned and North Korea’s weapons research went ahead. What we have seen recently — two ICBM tests in July, another one last month and what was

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH almost certainly North Korea’s first test of a thermonuclear weapon (hydrogen bomb) — is the inevitable result of the failure then. It took a lot of time and effort to get Pyongyang’s bomb and missile programs to this point, and it seems clear Kim Jong-un’s regime decided the safest way to test the new weapons and vehicles was all at once. He’s right. Stringing the tests out over a couple of years might have given the country’s enemies time to organize a complete trade embargo against North Korea or maybe even some form of attack. The safer course was to bunch the tests up, get the outraged reactions over fast, then hope the whole issue will fade into the background. North Korea is entirely surrounded by Chinese, Russian and Japanese territory, so any long-range tests are bound to pass over one of those countries. Pyongyang chose

Japan because it is a U.S. ally. But even its ICBM test on Aug. 30, when the Japanese government ordered its citizens in parts of Hokkaido into the shelters, did not enter Japanese airspace. The missile crossed Japan at a sub-orbital altitude and the Japanese authorities knew it would as soon as the boost phase ended. The pictures of allegedly panic-stricken Japanese civilians in shelters were propaganda meant to serve Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s project for remilitarizing Japan. There is no good military option available to the United States and its allies in the current crisis, even though President Donald Trump says, “We’ll see.” A direct U.S. attack on North Korea using only conventional weapons would not get all of North Korea’s nukes, which are hidden in hardened underground sites or moved around by night on mobile launchers. It would also call down fire and fury on Seoul from 10,000 North Korean artillery pieces and short-range rockets. A U.S. nuclear attack would probably still not get all of Kim’s nukes as North Korea is the hardest intelligence target in the world. Pyongyang may already be able to reach the United States with one or two ICBMs carrying thermonuclear warheads — and it can cer-

tainly reach all of South Korea and Japan. The political options for the United States and its Asian allies are equally constrained. Trump’s talk of stopping U.S. trade with any country that trades with North Korea is really aimed at China (which already operates selective embargoes on various North Korean exports). But cutting U.S. trade with China would cause immense disruption to the American economy and it’s unlikely that Trump would actually do it. We are currently in the dangerous phase where people (or at least some people) are convinced that there must be something they can do to make the problem go away. The only excuse for radical action now would be a conviction that Kim is a crazy man who will use his nuclear weapons to launch an unprovoked attack on the United States, even though it would certainly lead to his own death and that of his entire regime. If you truly believe that, then the right course of action is an all-out nuclear attack on North Korea right now. Otherwise, start dialling back your rhetoric because you are eventually going to have to accept that North Korea now has a usable nuclear deterrent. You can live with that because it’s better than fighting a nuclear war.

U.S. wants sunset clause added to new NAFTA ALEXANDER PANETTA

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — The United States is seeking to insert a so-called sunset clause into a new North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a controversial proposal that would automatically terminate the agreement after five years unless all three member countries agree to extend it. That proposal has prompted swift resistance.

Canadian and Mexican officials brushed it off almost as soon as it was proposed Thursday, calling it a bad idea that would create economic instability and scare businesses away from long-term investments. The priority was announced earlier in the day by U.S. President Donald Trump’s commerce secretary. Wilbur Ross confirmed the United States will seek some automatic-termination clause to ensure the agreement can be regularly re-evaluated and improved.

“It would force a systematic reexamination,’’ Ross told a forum organized by the website Politico. “You’d have a forum for trying to fix things.’’ Ross said U.S. trade czar Robert Lighthizer agrees it’s a good idea, but conceded it is unclear whether Canada and Mexico, the other NAFTA countries, would accept the proposal. He said he wants a deal by the end of the year and would rather not terminate the agreement as Trump has threatened to do. Ross said it will become harder

to get a deal after this year for four reasons: Next year, the U.S. fasttrack law needs to be re-affirmed in Congress, the U.S. has congressional elections, Mexico has presidential elections and Canada has provincial elections. The president is serious when he threatens to cancel NAFTA, Ross added. “It’s a very real thing,’’ he said. “But it is not the preferred option.’’ The U.S. ambassadors of Canada and Mexico both appeared on the same stage

shortly after Ross exited Thursday. Both rejected the idea, saying the business community in all three countries would never accept it. Canada’s David MacNaughton said sunset clauses are usually associated with things you intend to end — not with something like a trade agreement, whose inherent point is to project long-term predictability. If the same five-year sunset idea were applied to marriages, the divorce rate would be far higher, MacNaughton joked.

Policy: U.S. will not defend Canada from attack Under current U.S. policy, the American military has been directed not to defend Canada in the event it is targeted in a ballistic missile attack, according to the latter country’s top officer at the North American Aerospace Defence Command. “We’re being told in Colorado Springs that the extant U.S. policy is not to defend Canada,’’ said Lt.-Gen. Pierre St-Amand, deputy commander of Colorado-based Norad. “That is the policy that’s stated to us. So that’s the fact that I can bring to the table.’’ St-Amand delivered that revelation

Thursday during an appearance before the House of Commons defence committee, which is studying the extent to which Canada is ready for an attack by North Korea. The study comes after several provocative nuclear and ballistic missile tests by North Korea, which have stoked fears Canada could end up in the middle of a confrontation between the U.S. and the socalled hermit kingdom. Those tests have also resurrected questions over whether Canada should join the U.S. ballistic missile defence shield, which

You’ve Written a Will…

it famously opted out of in 2005 following a divisive national debate. St-Amand said Canadian and U.S. military personnel at Norad headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo., work side-by-side detecting potential airborne threats to North America. But Canada would have no role in deciding what to do if North Korea or any other country fired a missile at North America, he said. Canadian military personnel would instead be forced to sit on the sidelines and watch as U.S. officials decided how to act. The general did acknowledge U.S. offi-

cials could ultimately decide to intervene if a missile was heading toward Canada, but that the decision would likely be made in “the heat of the moment.’’ St-Amand’s comments appeared to confirm the worst fears of many people who believe it is time for Canada to join the U.S. ballistic missile defence shield. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seemed to all but close the door on joining ballistic missile defence last month when he said Canada’s position is “not going to be changed any time soon.’’ — The Canadian Press

Chemical oceanographer Jay Cullen of the University of Victoria has monitored levels of contamination from radioactive isotopes, used in cancer therapies and medical imaging, since the meltdown of three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in 2011 following a tsunami triggered by an earthquake. “We’re confident in saying that the levels that we see now in our part of the Pacific from Fukushima are below those levels that represent a significant health risk either to the Pacific Ocean or to human beings in Canada or the west coast of North America,’’ said Cullen, who is one of nine international authors of a study published last week on the findings in Environmental Science and Technology.

“We haven’t been able to detect changes in the amount of these artificial isotopes that are in our Pacific salmon and steelhead trout or shellfish that we’ve collected all up and down the coast,’’ he said. Contamination levels were about onetenth of what was seen in the north Pacific in the late 1950s and 1960s before the ban of above-ground nuclear weapons testing, primarily by the United States and the former Soviet Union, Cullen said. “Now what we see are levels that are similar to what we had in our part of the Pacific back in the 1970s,’’ he said, adding those did not approach amounts believed to be harmful. He said scientists now know most of the radioactive contamination reached offshore British Columbia in 2015 and 2016, as predicted by ocean circula-

tion models. Citizen scientists have helped collect monthly samples of sea water and annually gather fish and shellfish samples for analysis, he said. Cullen also leads a network called Fukushima InFORM, or Integrated Fukushima Ocean Radionuclide Monitoring. The network monitors marine radioactivity at distances up to 1,500 kilometres off the coast of British Columbia and brings together Canadian and American scientists, health experts and non-governmental organizations. “A Canadian monitoring program for the sampling and analysis of seawater for Fukushima radioactivity was initiated shortly after the accident and in the U.S., crowdfunding and ships of opportunity were used to monitor the progress and arrival

of Fukushima plume along the coast,’’ the study said. Contamination levels decay over time and will continue dropping along the coast of B.C., Cullen said, adding further studies will be done until 2019. Radiation guidelines are set by Health Canada’s Radiation Protection Bureau. “The levels of radioactive contamination that we measured off British Columbia right now, they’re about a factor of 1,000 lower than the levels that are permissible in our drinking water that don’t lead to health problems for Canadians who drink average amounts of water over a year,’’ Cullen said. Contamination levels detected in the north Pacific are thousands of times lower than what was found off Fukushima after the disaster, Cullen said.

n our opinion, September is the best month for hiking. It’s often sunny, usually bug-free and not as busy, especially mid-week, when the kids are back in school. From our White Rock deck, Mount Baker juts up like a frosted pinnacle and prompts us to dust off our packs, poles and boots. Although not the highest Cascade peak, it’s definitely the iciest. No doubt, that’s why the Lummi Indians coined it Koma Kulshan, meaning, “The Great White Watcher.” In our earlier years, we’d tried a few of Baker’s more challenging routes: the steep switchbacks of Church Mountain, the craggy ascent up Goat Trail and the heartthumping heights of Heliotrope Ridge. During every thigh-burning ascent, we were privy to eyepopping rewards, from flower-clad

meadows to panoramic views. Now, years later, my quads aren’t quite as peppy about doing the pitch. Thank heavens Ptarmigan Ridge offers us the best of both worlds — awesome vistas without as much grunt work. But even though there’s a little less elevation gain, this hike isn’t exactly a walk in the park. It can be sketchy in parts and, depending on the annual snowfall, may be still draped in some of the slippery white stuff. A National Forest pass is mandatory to park anywhere in the Mount Baker recreation area and, after leaving the Glacier Public Service Center, we travel eastward and upward, 1,676 metres (5,500 feet) to Artist Point. This is where our SUV gets a well-deserved break and our legs take over. Access to the trailhead is in the parking lot’s northwest corner. On this sunny Sunday morning, it’s not hard to find. “It seems like Grand Central,”

Brent says as we follow the crowd, “But it’ll thin out once we get going.” My hubby has hoofed enough popular hills in the past to know. As soon as we head away from this bustling hub, the strand of nomads fans out over Mother Nature’s wonderland like ants at a picnic. Our pencil-thin pathway traverses the base of Table Mountain and, though the steady incline isn’t strenuous, my eyes are fixated on the route ahead. Primarily, this is so I can safely maneuver the roots and rocks underfoot. Secondly, it helps steady my vertigo on this trail that hovers high above Swift Creek and Rainbow Valley. But every so often, I just have to take a moment and look around. And this isn’t a tactic to slow my raging pulse. Beyond the talus slope and yawning gorge is a vista over which even Heidi would drool. Majestic Mount Shuksan domi-

nates the backdrop of this picturepostcard setting. I’m awestruck by its magnitude and mesmerized by its beauty. But, just ahead, there’s a lot more visual overload in store and, if I want to see it, I have to keep on trekking. At the three-kilometre mark, we come to a junction, where the Chain Lakes Trail divides. Many hikers take this low road that descends 152 metres (500 feet) to a few lakes, then elevates to Herman’s Saddle at 244 metres (800 feet), where the snow cone of Baker beautifies the backdrop. But we manage to get even closer. As if spellbound, like mice of the pied piper, we head for the high road, a route that eventually leads to the base of this icy apex. Along the way, our trail is flanked by a riot of wildflowers: flaming paintbrush, partridge foot and alpine spirea.

blueberries are perfect for snacking on — especially by the namesake ptarmigan birds who populate the area. We elevate to higher ground, gingerly cross snowy patches and steer clear of gaping cracks and crevices. With each step, we get closer to that alluring landmark. We pass the 1,768-metre (5,800foot) mark and come to the base of the Coleman Pinnacle. But there’s no need to scale this steep-pitched summit. We’ve got what we’ve come here for. While setting up our picnic at Camp Kiser, we can’t take our eyes off it. It seems to be within our reach and is more captivating than ever. There, in all its full-blown beauty is the glistening gem, the crown jewel, the snowy mountain that we can see from our deck in White Rock — beautiful and breathtaking Baker. travelwriterstales.com

FAITH

Telling the story — as art, music and narrative

“

The shortest way to a person’s heart is through a story,” goes an old Hebrew saying. It’s nice to know ancient wisdom and contemporary research all point to the same reality. If you want to talk about technology or economics or science, assemble your data and refine your logic into a punchy PowerPoint presentation — and you’re a winner. Stick to things you can count and classify. But if you want to talk to people’s core values, to their ethics, to their sense of justice, to the faith that moves them, tell stories. Humans are storytelling animals. Anthropologists argue that the skill that most separates humans from other primates is speech —

RALPH MILTON

You gotta have

FAITH

and we use that skill most effectively to tell each other stories. Our stories provide the framework of our culture. They tell us who we are. Some years ago, I gave a seminar on communications to a group of advertising executives in an office tower on Madison Avenue in New York City. “Jesus, aside from everything else he may have been, was a highly skilled communicator,” I said, reading

skepticism on every face. “He told stories. He made up stories called parables. We’re still telling those stories in every language of the world 2,000 years later. The stories you tell have the life expectancy of your advertising budget.” Stories are like jokes. If you have to explain them, they’re dead. Christians of all kinds make the same mistake of over-analyzing and explaining those Jesus stories, as well as all the grand sagas of the Hebrews we find in the Old Testament. A story is a living thing. Dissect it and you kill it. The other mistake we make is in taking ourselves too seriously. Those of us who have been around for many decades know that if you want to

hear divine laughter, tell God your plans. Another way to generate God’s laughter is to explain your theology or your method of Bible study. The power and strength of all great religious traditions is carried in their stories, their sagas, their worship. Bible study, theological discourse and careful analysis is crucial and can keep us from slipping into the cultural swamp. In the life of faith, it has a necessary, but supporting role. If it takes over, it squeezes out the lifegiving juice. It offers a recipe when what we need is food. It offers a stone when what is needed is bread. If we don’t listen deeply to the stories, our faith will be arid. A shell of practise without passion. A lifeless structure of rhetoric and ritual.

That’s why a bunch of us are going to get together to spend a day listening to those fine old stories, allowing our souls to marinate in those tales and discover how those stories connect with our own personal stories. There won’t be any preaching or teaching or analyzing — just stories, as art, as music, as poetry and as narrative. We’ll let those stories have their way with us. And it will be fun. Ralph Milton is one of the storytellers at StoryFEST, which takes place on Saturday, Sept. 23, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Kamloops United Church, at St. Paul Street and Fourth Avenue downtown. Admission is $10 and includes lunch. To reserve a spot, call the church at 250-372-2050.

Telling tales StoryFEST which takes place on Saturday, Sept. 23, at Kamloops United Church, offers a spiritual shot-in-the-arm, focusing on evocative Bible stories and personal faith experiences. The festival in Kamloops is one of three taking place in the Thompson-Okanagan. Summerland United Church will host an event on Oct. 28 and First United Church in Kelowna will be storytelling central on Nov. 25. The events will feature professional storytellers, musicians and artists for a full day of story-telling, singing and faith sharing. The festivals will be filmed to create nine video programs that will be used in study groups across the country and throughout the English-speaking world.

KMHA eyeing Storm purchase MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

arry Dewar is not shopping the Kamloops Storm, but that doesn’t mean he won’t sell the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League franchise. And the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association is interested in buying the junior B team. “I’m 64. Eventually, I have to look for a succession plan,” Dewar said. “I’ve been doing this for 17 years. There will be a time when I have to let it go. “They want to buy my team. [KMHA president] Jon Pankuch has made a couple of overtures toward doing that, but we never came to an agreement. Under the right terms and conditions, I can see that happening. Money is a big part, but it’s not just about price. It’s about making sure the foundation is there.” Dewar wants to see the team remain viable in Kamloops, but expressed concerns about selling it to the KMHA. “If it just becomes another offshoot of minor hockey, do outof-town kids get the opportunity to play for the Storm? I fear that they wouldn’t, although I don’t know the KMHA’s plans,” Dewar said. “I have full confidence in Jon Pankuch, but what happens next AGM for Kamloops minor hockey? Do they vote Jon out and bring in some radical that wants to build a team for his son? “To some degree, this is my legacy and I want it to be successful.” Pankuch said talks with Dewar have been ongoing for more than two years. The deal is not dead.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Ethan Paulin-Hatch makes a save for the Kamloops Storm last Saturday at Memorial Arena. Off the ice, Storm owner Barry Dewar is entertaining offers for his junior B hockey franchise.

“Is it next season or two seasons away? I can’t say that,” said Pankuch, who is vacationing in Croatia. “It’s up and down. One day I sit with him and he’s very positive. Next time, he doesn’t want to talk about it. The ball is in his court. “There are a lot of things we could do with that team that could be exciting for KMHA and I think it’s a team that could be supported on its own, without taking on expenses and really not costing the association any money.” Pankuch said the team would likely not be competitive if it were made up entirely of KMHA players. “Do I see it as a place where it could be 50 to 75 per cent [Kamloops players]? There’s no doubt in my mind,” Pankuch said.

“But we still have to run it as a business and do what’s best for the team to have success. We’d have to bring kids in to make it competitive. We need to put bums in the seats.” Pankuch does not see the radical-son scenario materializing. “The team would be safe in Kamloops,” Pankuch said. “We could structure it in a separate society, with me committing to three to five years. There are lots of things you can do to ensure the legacy stays in place that can be written up in the contract. “Sometimes, he’s got concerns that maybe aren’t necessarily valid, but you have to walk through that with conversations.” Pankuch sees opportunity for development of local players who may need to grow in the junior B

ranks before moving on — and the same goes for coaches. Conversation about selling the Storm came about when Dewar was asked about potential relocation to Quesnel. Matt Kolle, who last season put forth a failed proposal for KIJHL expansion in Quesnel, was hired by Dewar in May to be the Storm’s assistant general manager. Kamloops will play six of its home games in the Cariboo city this season. Dewar understands optics might lead to assumptions — and he does want to see teams in Quesnel and Williams Lake — but relocation of the Storm is not his plan. “It’s my opinion the league would never allow the Kamloops Storm to move to Quesnel,” he

said. “There’s money involved with new franchises. They’re not going to want to go there, to Quesnel, and not get some money for it. A relocation fee is like $5,000. An expansion fee is about $125,000. That goes to league.” Dewar said he was disgusted with how the KIJHL dealt with Kolle’s proposal for a team in Quesnel, with member teams voting overwhelmingly against expansion in January. So miffed was Dewar that he tried to split the league, a halfhearted effort borne of anger. He proposed a league consisting of the 10 Okanagan-Shuswap Conference teams — Kamloops, 100 Mile House, Chase, Sicamous, Revelstoke, North Okanagan, Kelowna, Summerland, Osoyoos and Princeton — along with Williams Lake and Quesnel. The Kootenay Conference’s 10 squads — Columbia Valley, Creston Valley, Fernie, Golden, Kimberley, Beaver Valley, Castlegar, Grand Forks, Nelson and Spokane — were not invited. “I got my back up. I spearheaded that last year because I thought our league was doing things incorrectly,” Dewar said. “I had teams that said they would come. Have we moved in a different direction? Not yet. Do I love my league? Yes. I love the KIJHL, but sometimes we get bogged down in internal squabbles because maybe we’re too big.” Dewar suggested Kolle join the Storm to learn the ins and outs of running a junior B squad and become more of a presence around the league, a strategy that could make it more difficult to refuse his next expansion proposal.

Australian coach Bills to pay off at tennis centre MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Kamloops Tennis Centre tennis director Kelly Hubbard (right) shares a laugh with Kristie Bills, the recently hired assistant coach from Adelaide, Australia, who is looking forward to her tenure with the club.

Aid from Adelaide has arrived at the Kamloops Tennis Centre. Kristie Bills, 28, has been hired by tennis director Kelly Hubbard to take on an assistant coaching role, giving him much-needed help at 758 Front St. “I liked her personality, desire and passion for coaching,” said Hubbard, who was teaching a Tennis Canada instructors’ course in Kelowna when Bills made an impression on him. “We are delighted to have Kristie on our coaching staff.” Bills moved to Vancouver from Adelaide, Australia, about two-and-a-half years ago. “I needed more out of my life,” said Bills, who played high-level tennis competitively down under until injury derailed her career. “I needed the mountains. I needed a life change and decided to pack up my life in Australia and move across the world.” Bills worked at CTV in Vancouver

before moving to Kelowna, but decided to set up shop in the Tournament Capital after conversations with Hubbard and a trip to see the city. She will take on many responsibilities at the club, including teaching beginner classes, drill sessions, private lessons and group lessons, along with helping out with social events. Hubbard, who has built a successful junior program at the KTC, will also call on Bills to help him with high-performance programming. “I love all types,” said Bills, who signed a two-year contract. “I love the fiveyears-olds and all the way up to the 80-year-

olds. They all inspire me in completely different ways. You can play at any age and get enjoyment out of it.”

Youth movement

Hubbard’s work with junior players seems to be producing results. Four Kamloops products are ranked provincially in their age groups. Jenny Klenner is ranked fifth among under-14 girls and won an under-16 tournament in Cowichan. Paige Grice is ranked 15th in the under-14 category. Justin Friesen is ranked 19th in his age division and Thomas Friesen, ranked 25th, won an under-14 tournament in Surrey.

Pankuch: Ball in Dewar’s court for Storm sale From A23

“I bet you he spent at least 100 hours on the proposal,” Dewar said. “It was so professional and so well done. He did a remarkable job and the league basically turned him down without even looking at the work he put together. Matt has a great business plan for Quesnel and it will work. They want an expansion team and I want to help them get there.” Rob Sandrock championed the failed Williams Lake bid. Kolle wrangled Quesnelbased sponsorship to help cover Dewar’s cost of playing six 2017-2018 home games in the Gold Pan City. Dewar said dates were chosen for games in Quesnel on which the Storm would have been competing against the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers or other events in the city. “I did a press conference in Quesnel to say, ‘If you guys want a team here, you’re going to have to fill the barn and show people that it works,” Dewar said. “In my mind, if we want

BARRY DEWAR

Summerland to go up there, Quesnel would have to help them financially. We have to prove to the league the money is there and I think it is.” There is no interlocking schedule in the KIJHL. Only in the league championship do teams from the Kootenay and Okanagan-Shuswap conferences finally meet. Dewar said he is tiring of the disconnect between teams in the opposing conferences, citing different business models and a lack of communication.

“The way we’re going about things is archaic,” Dewar said. “I am the marketing committee. I got a deal done with Subway. I sent an email to league teams in July to confirm it. As of [Aug. 31], five teams hadn’t responded, four of them from the east side [Kootenay Conference]. The KIJHL has a president, Bill Ohlhausen, but no commissioner. “We need a commis-

sioner, not just a president,” Dewar said. “The president is a really nice man, but he’s an order taker. We need someone more like [B.C. Hockey League commissioner] John Grisdale or [WHL commissioner] Ron Robison that is an active participant with the franchises.” Dewar said he loves the Storm and is proud of how many players the organization catapults to higher levels of hockey.

Running the team has brought great joy to Dewar, but it seems the toll of unrest is wearing on him. Poor attendance, which has continued since the team moved to Memorial Arena from McArthur Island prior to the 2016-2017 campaign, likely isn’t easing stress. “Dealing with the young men can be very rewarding,” Dewar said. “It can also be very trying. It’s a fun way to try and fill your day, but you don’t make any money at it. Your quote in the paper the other day was “sparse crowd.” Well, how do I get more people in the seats? We had 8,000 people following us on Facebook the other night. How many in the building? One-hundredand-fifty. “It frustrates me at 64 because I just don’t understand the new way of doing things.” Pankuch has ideas to boost attendance, some of which revolve around running a junior B team comprised mostly of local players.

“We have the largest association in the province with 1,400 kids,” Pankuch said. “That’s 2,800 parents and 2,800 grandparents. “There are lots of things you can do with allowing minor hockey kids to come and watch. It’s going to take time, but I definitely think we can do it.” Discussions with Dewar are ongoing, Pankuch said, noting the KMHA board would still have to buy into the purchase. “With nine people sitting at a table talking about funds, things can go sideways, but I don’t see it being an issue,” Pankuch said. “It’s up to Barry at this point. A lot of the stalling has been on Barry’s end, whether it’s price or leaving a legacy and not knowing what’s going to happen with KMHA after I leave.”

Evan Mutrie is a former Kamloops Bronco who writes for KTW during football season.

Westshore Rebels of Langford last weekend. Offensive production was sub-par again, as the score at the end of the first half was 17–0 for the Rebels. Showers didn’t help the Broncos passing game, but neither did multiple dropped passes, nor turnovers. They also gave up eight sacks — Kamloops quarterbacks have been sacked 30 times this season — and protection up front continues to be a problem. On a positive note, the Broncos’ running B A S H

game was productive, accounting for 200 yards, and quarterback Colby Henkel was productive when upright. The Broncos’ special-teams unit had one of its better outings. Bryce Couture, who had been struggling with short punts, was able to set up the Broncos with better field position and Landon Munk was 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts. Every game this season seems to be a tale of two halves and it seems Kamloops struggles to put together four quarters of solid football. If they can’t make it happen this weekend, they may be playing for pride down the stretch.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

GRIDIRON JAMBOREE

This bold thief entered a downtown liquor store on Saturday, Sept. 9. The suspect walked around the store for a short time, he waited until the staff were busy with other customers. The male grabbed a 24 pack of Budweiser cans of beer and ran out of the store. It appears he was alone and the store clerk saw him running by himself down the street. This suspect is described as First Nations, late 20s, 5’ 8’’ tall, medium build, wearing a hard hoodie, a white ball cap with a blue logo on it. If you know this person, please contact Crime Stoppers you will remain anonymous and will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

The South Kamloops Titans’ offensive line carves out a hole for the ball carrier against the Rutland Voodoo at a junior high school football jamboree event at Westsyde secondary on Wednesday. The Titans will play host to a senior football exhibition game on Friday at South Kamloops secondary. Game time is 2 p.m.

Ferguson posts shutout Kamloops Blazers’ goaltender Dylan Ferguson made an impression on Vegas Golden Knights’ brass in California. The 19-year-old netminder from Lantzville posted a 34-save shutout against the Los Angeles Kings in a rookie exhibition game

on Wednesday. Ferguson joined the Golden Knights for main camp in Las Vegas on Thursday, but is expected to be back in Kamloops next week before the Blazers open the WHL regular season against the Rockets in Kelowna on Sept. 22. Luc Smith, at camp

with the New York Rangers, Garrett Pilon (Washington Capitals) and Ondrej Vala (Dallas Stars) are also expected to return to Kamloops before the WHL season begins. Kamloops will wrap its pre-season with a game against the Cougars in Prince George on Friday.

Seahawks prepare for 49ers TIM BOOTH

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — In recent seasons, Pete Carroll found himself in production meetings with John Lynch as the television commentator for those games, sharing information about the opponent that week and the foundations of his football philosophy. Carroll certainly didn’t expect that sharing those kinds of details could come back to have an adverse effect someday — except when Lynch took the job as the general manager of Seattle’s division rival, the San Francisco 49ers. “He was in-depth beyond where most guys go. He wanted to know why and what were you thinking. Those kinds of things,’’ Carroll said of those production meetings. “I didn’t really put it together. I thought he’d be doing Monday Night Football or something. . . . He was adding up his background and reservoir of information at the time. It makes sense it came out to get him a GM job.’’ Lynch may some day be able to use some of Carroll’s wisdom in reconstructing the 49ers. For now, San Francisco is in another rebuild as it heads north to face Carroll’s Seahawks on Sunday.

Eventually, Lynch may succeed in making San Francisco a contender again, but the opener showed just how far the 49ers have to go in a 23-3 loss to Carolina. They will be trying to show improvement against one of the best defences in the league. “I don’t think I can compliment them enough,’’ San Francisco QB Brian Hoyer said. “I think it’s a great combination of scheme and players.’’ Seattle does have its issues to solve that were highlighted in the opening loss at Green Bay. The offensive line continues to be the biggest concern, as it was overwhelmed by Green Bay’s defensive front, leaving quarterback Russell Wilson to scramble for safety and disrupting the Seahawks offence. Take away Wilson’s 40 yards rushing on two scrambles and a 30-yard run from rookie Chris Carson, and the Seahawks rushed for just 20 yards on 15 carries. For a team that continues to say its offence is predicated by the run, those numbers aren’t acceptable. “Everyone has to be on the same page on offence for every play to work. Most of the time it was just one guy, one block and that’s what kind of killed the play,’’ Seattle guard Luke Joeckel said.

Brady talks concussions JIMMY GOLEN

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady doesn’t worry about concussions and considers them part of playing football, the New England Patriots quarterback said in a television interview to be broadcast this weekend. “I’m not oblivious to them,’’ Brady tells CBS Sunday Morning. “I mean, I understand the risks that, you know, come with the physical nature of our game.’’ Brady’s wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, had said in a May interview that the quarterback has had unreported concussions and she worried about his long-term health. A joint NFL and players union investigation found this week there was no evidence Brady or the team failed to follow the league’s policies or procedures on concussions. A five-time Super Bowl champion and two-time league MVP, Brady had one of his best seasons ever last year at the age of 39. After missing the first

four games to serve his “Deflategate’’ suspension, he threw for 3,554 yards and 28 touchdowns with only two interceptions, leading the Patriots to their fifth NFL title by rallying them from a 25-point deficit to the first overtime victory in Super Bowl history. The network said co-host Norah O’Donnell interviewed Brady multiple times, both at his suburban Boston home and at his TB12 Sports Therapy Center near the Patriots’ stadium. Now 40, Brady repeated his desire to continue playing until he is 45 — something no non-kicker has done in modern NFL history. “I do want to go out on my terms,’’ he said. “I do want go

out playing my best.’’ The NFL has struggled to come to terms with the danger of concussions and the lifetime health risks they pose. The league this year agreed to pay as much as $1 billion to former players who have been diagnosed with post-concussion symptoms that could include the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The NFL has also created game-day procedures in an attempt to identify concussions when they happen and keep concussed players from returning to the game. In light of a recent study that found CTE in the brains of 110 of the 111 former NFL players that were studied, O’Donnell asked Brady what he thought the effect would be on the league. “I don’t know what the future is going to look like, you know, and I’m not going to pretend to predict it,’’ Brady said. “And I’m going to do everything I can to take care of my body in advance of the, you know, of the hits that I’m going to take on Sunday.’’

Who will play on McDavid’s wing? DEAN BENNETT

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers opened training camp Thursday with franchise forwards Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl locked up to long-term contracts — but with questions on who will play alongside them. “The right [wing], in my opinion, is the wild card position on our team right now,’’ head coach Todd McLellan said as players reported for medical tests at Rogers Place. McDavid is pencilled in with his usual left-wing partner, Patrick Maroon, on the top line. Draisaitl will remain with Milan Lucic on his left side on the second line. But after that, it’s not so clear. Newcomer Ryan Strome, acquired in the off-season for Jordan Eberle, is tabbed to play on McDavid’s right side

when the players hit the ice Friday. Winger Anton Slepyshev won’t skate immediately as he continues rehabilitation for an ankle injury. Sophomore Drake Caggiula will move up as the second-line rightwinger in training camp. But McLellan said if things don’t pan out, he could try Draisaitl on McDavid’s wing, as was done with success last season. Milan Lucic could even move back alongside McDavid, as he did at the start of last year. Third-line centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins could move to the wing, although McLellan said that’s doubtful. Strome has experience at centre in junior. “There are moving parts,’’ said McLellan. “Those pieces are moving all the time in my opinion and they still need to be sorted out.’’

ONE FINAL GIFT Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Why are the ashes sealed with a disk?

Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. DJ Kramer

A. As soon as Murray arrives at the crematorium in Kamloops, he receives a stainless steel disk. It has a number on it, and it follows Murray through the entire process. It ensures you that those are actually Murray’s ashes you’re receiving. ! !

Obituaries & In Memoriam John Plowman August 1, 1925 - August 30, 2017 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Plowman. He is survived by his beloved wife of 68 years Rita, daughters Christine and Hilary, sister Jean and grandchildren Laura (Ryan), Steve (Megan), Trevor (Christya), Kayleigh (Matt) and great-grandchildren Jaxon, Eloise, Abigail and many loving relatives in England. John was born on August 1, 1925 in Leicester, England. John’s education started at Wyggeston Boys’ School, Leicester and later at Pangborne Nautical College. In 1939, he became a King’s Scout. During World War II he served in the Merchant Navy as an apprentice officer, sailing to many countries around the world. After the war he joined Leicester City Police. It was during this time that John met his soulmate Rita and they were married on January 8, 1949. In 1952, John, Rita and their two year old daughter Christine emigrated to Canada where John joined the Vancouver City Police. Another daughter Hilary, was born in 1953. John enjoyed playing soccer and curling with the Police teams. As the children grew up, the family enjoyed many happy holidays around BC and down to California. Being a dedicated father, John attended many of his daughters’ school and sports activities. A change of career came in 1969 when the family moved to Chilliwack and John became an Official Court Reporter for the BC Government, retiring in 1988. John and Rita loved to travel to the United Kingdom and Europe. John was a life member of Chilliwack Player’s Guild where he enjoyed many facets of theatre. In 1993, John and Rita moved to Kamloops and became active members of St. Paul’s Cathedral congregation. Retirement allowed John more time to enjoy his many interests such as sailing, tennis, travelling and community theatre. He spent many cherished hours with his family. John was a charter member of Valley Squadron (Canadian Power and Sail Squadron) where he taught safe boating for many years and became a life member. Tireless hours were spent volunteering with Canadian Cancer Society, Thompson Valley Orchestra Board, Canadian Red Cross and B.C.G.R.E.U. Executive. In lieu of flowers and if desired, a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated. A Celebration of Life will be held at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, 360 Nicola St, Kamloops on Sunday, September 24, 2017 at 2:00 pm. Reception to follow. Condolences may be expressed at www.DrakeCremation.com

Donald Edwin Clough 16 October 1959 – 20 August 2017

In Loving Memory of

It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of Don Clough after a long and courageous battle with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Son, brother, uncle and friend Don was loved very much by his family and we will miss him terribly. We hope you will join us in remembering him as we do: a quick wit, a desire to always learn and a fierce devotion to his family and friends. Don spent a lengthy career in technology working in the community at both Royal Inland Hospital and Thompson Rivers University. Along with his beloved friends Tom and Stel as well as extended family, grieving are Don’s mother Lillian Clough, his sisters Wendy Popoff and Eileen Skinner, brothers-in-law Tom Skinner and Bob Popoff, his six nieces and nephews Dan (Peter), Doug (Ildiko), Greg (Tammy), Tanya (Wes) and Nicholas (Angela) as well as many great nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his father Edwin Clough. We hope you will join us for a reception as we Celebrate Don’s Life on Saturday, September 16, 2017 at the Hilton Doubletree from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, 393 St. Paul Street, Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, donations are gratefully accepted to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

Jim Donchi

October 8, 1932 - Seotember 18, 2016

God saw you getting tired. The cure was not to be So He wrapped you in His loving Arms And whispered: “Come with Me”. You suffered much in silence. Your spirit did not bend. You faced your pain with courage Until the very end. You tried so hard to stay with us. Your fight was all in vain. God took you to His loving home And freed you from all pain.

Forever in our hearts Your Loving Family

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living,

In the hearts of those she touched, AWARD WINNING For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

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

TRU prof’s Peace Pledge to be read during U.N. International Day of Peace events in Toronto SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

e knows it’s a bit of a long shot, but screenwriter George M. Johnson is determined to get his latest work onto the silver screen. Peace Pledge tells the story of the pacifist movement in 1930s Britain. The story is told through John, a disillusioned First World War veteran of Johnson’s creation, and Dick Sheppard, the real life Anglican priest who founded the Peace Pledge Union, a pacifist organization that opposes war and promotes peace. Sheppard was the vicar of St. Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square in London. He founded the group in 1934 and called on men to send postcards pledging never to support the coming war. Sheppard’s work was often controversial at a time when the defense of Britain was paramount. “He wrote a letter to Hitler and Mussolini asking whether he could come to their countries and talk to their people about peace there,” Johnson told KTW. “People thought that

was ludicrous and he got a lot of flack for that. Officials in the church were embarrassed, and they thought Christians should fight along with everyone else.” The fictional John, challenged by Sheppard to take up the cause, reluctantly becomes a pacifist and helps the priest in his work, eventually losing friends and family as he stands by his new beliefs at a time when they are wildly unpopular. The story follows John, who after Sheppard’s death in 1937, continues to spread a message of peace during wartime. The play was a recent winner in the feature screenplay category at the Wildsound screenwriting competition, and a part of the prize was that Johnson’s screenplay would be read by actors in a table reading. Soon, Johnson will have his screenplay read again, this time as part of the U.N. International Day of Peace events in Toronto on Sept. 21. Johnson, who teaches screenwriting in Thompson Rivers University’s English department, first started writing for the stage in 2007, and for the screen in 2011.

“I’ve got three screenplays now — two that are pretty much polished,” he said. Johnson also wrote the stage play Mockus, which showed in Kamloops earlier this year, and The Wonder, which in 2012 was a finalist in the British Independent Film Festival Screenplay Competition and a semi-finalist in the FirstGlance screenplay competition in Los Angeles. Although Johnson considers getting the screenplay made into a film a longshot because of how expensive it would be to shoot a historical drama in downtown London, he hope there’s someone out there who wants to tell a story of peace and pacifism and get that message across. “I think the film is meant to make people think about pacifism as an alternative, and try to show

people that pacifism is not passive,” Johnson said. “People think it’s just about sitting down and ignoring a war or something — it’s not. The film shows you have to fight for what you believe in and against war.” Johnson thinks that message, and other themes in the story, are particularly relevant today. “I think we’re seeing a rise of warmongering again,” he said. “Governments are spending a lot more money on armaments since Donald Trump came into office. He’s kind of bullied other countries into increasing their war expenditures.”

People think it’s [pacifism] “just about sitting down and

ignoring the war or something — it’s not. The film shows you have to fight for what you believe in and against war.

”

— George M. Johnson, Kamloops screenwriter

George M. Johnson, a Kamloops screenwriter and professor at Thompson Rivers University, also wrote the stage play Mockus, which was shown by Chimera Theatre earlier this year.

Kamloops writer’s personal story longlisted for CBC nonfiction prize, but cut from shortlist FROZEN SOULS A TALE OF ‘CULTURE SHOCK’ , STEMMING FROM HUNTER’S EXPERIENCE MOVING FROM SQUAMISH TO CHETWYND IN NORTHEASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen Sadie Hunter moved to Chetwynd from Squamish as a child, it was a culture shock. Picking up and moving to the small rural community in northeastern B.C. meant leaving her friends behind on the Coast, attending a new school, adjusting to a community with different social dynamics and weathering harsh Canadian winters: -40 C with a windchill. Hunter called the move at age 11 an “extreme experience” that helped her discover her identity and recognize her values. “It was quite the culture shock,” Hunter told KTW. “The isolating experience, not only moving to a small town away from all of your family and friends at that age, but any remote community can be isolating itself, especially at winter time.” Hunter said education was different in Chetwynd, a community on the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with a population of 3,100 people, and opportunities were less available. “You really had to be motivated to move forward in life,” she said. “It was a contrast where I knew the difference.” Hunter spent about a decade there before picking up and moving to Kamloops to raise her son. She didn’t know anyone in the

ANITA ASHTON PHOTO Kamloops writer Sadie Hunter penned Frozen Souls, which was selected as one of 29 stories on a longlist for the CBC Nonfiction Prize. The story did not make the top five shortlist.

It was something that was top of mind “and it’s been something that people are talking about more. It inspired me to tell about my own experience.

”

— SADIE HUNTER, Kamloops writer

Tournament Capital. “I didn’t want him to grow up in the same

environment,” Hunter said. “I wanted to give him opportunities.”

This extremely personal story is in part the subject of a non-fic-

tion essay called Frozen Souls, which Hunter submitted to the CBC Nonfiction Prize literary award in February, challenging herself to enter a writing competition for the first time. The story focuses on her experience in Chetwynd, which she said is relevant amid media coverage of adolescent suicides in rural, predominantly aboriginal, communities. “It was something that was top of mind and it’s been something people are talking about more,” Hunter said. “It inspired me to tell about my own experience.” Asked about putting herself out there — sharing a personal story to be judged — Hunter called it both “therapeutic and terrifying.” The Thompson Rivers University fundraiser has science and journalism degrees and spent a short time as editor of The Omega student newspaper. She has freelanced in the past, but doesn’t usually write for herself. “I don’t have the head space,” she said. “That was one of the biggest challenges was intentionally creating that space.” To her surprise, Hunter was longlisted among 29 people, cho-

sen from about 1,400 entries from across the country. Frozen Souls didn’t make the five-story shortlist, which means Hunter won’t have a chance to win $6,000 from the Canada Council for the Arts, attend a 10-day writing residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and be published on multiple platforms. Is she disappointed? “I submitted it thinking I wouldn’t see it again,” Hunter said. “I just kind of did it for the experience.” She plans to enter again, perhaps exploring different categories. While CBC released a couple of paragraphs of Hunter’s piece, which is available online, she is unsure where she will publish Frozen Souls in its entirety at this time. “It might be something I end up posting on my personal Facebook page for those who are interested,” she said. The top five shortlist for the prize includes stories about finding first love and losing loved ones.

Archie Vs. Predator pits red-headed comic book icon against movie monster VERDICT? ‘SOUNDS RIDICULOUS’ BUT ‘ENTERTAINING READ’

don’t know what to tell you about this one — but here we go: Archie Vs. Predator. That’s right, we’re talking about a comic book about the classic, family friendly, redheaded, all American, teenage comic book icon battling the deadly, intergalactic alien, claw faced, trophy hunting, movie monster. The Predator battled Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1980s, Danny Glover in the 1990s, and Adrien Brody in the 2000s. Obviously Brody is the odd man out in that group, a little underwhelming compared to the action movie resume of Schwarzenegger, and even Glover who has the Lethal Weapon movies under his belt — but I assure you Brody’s Predators is pretty good. It’s at least better than those two stinker Alien Vs. Predator movies, which should have been a licence to print money but somehow amazingly almost tanked both franchises. If you didn’t think it could get any worse than Alien Resurrection, try those two AVP movies. Or the new Alien Covenant. That movie stunk, too. Archie vs. Predator is at least better than those four movies. It is overall a solid and entertaining read, and the pairing isn’t as offbase as you might think. I mean it sounds ridiculous, but this isn’t the first time Archie did a crazy crossover like this. The early 1990s saw an Archie Meets The Punisher comic. Seriously. On a normal day, Archie spends most of his time trying to pick between Betty and Veronica, and the Punisher spends most of his time murdering criminals in cold blood. Archie has a band, Punisher has guns.

NICK KLIE

Comic

KAM

Lots and lots of guns. Legend has it, this comic started as a joke about the most ridiculous crossover they could think of and everyone involved actually thought it would sell. It did. It sold really well, in fact. So Archie battling the Predator isn’t as nonsense as you might initially think. Well, it kind of still is, but you get the idea. I think at this point, we should have an Archie Vs. The Terminator crossover. The Terminator can travel back through time to save Archie, because Archie is the father of the leader of the human resistance in the future, but the

Terminator doesn’t know if the mother is Betty or Veronica. The comic would be all about getting Archie to get both girls pregnant. All the while, another more powerful and advanced Terminator is trying to kill Archie. This evil Terminator could team up with Archie’s rival, Reggie. See? This stuff writes itself. Why am I giving these great ideas away for free in the paper? Sure, this idea might be a little crass, but it can’t be any worse than the new Archie TV series, Riverdale, where underage Archie is having sex with his teacher, Ms. Grundy. That would be Archie Vs. Sexual

Predator, which is not the same as the comic we’re talking about. The actual Archie Vs. Predator is a riot. It’s drawn in the classic Archie comic style, which is obviously normal for the Archie side of the book, but makes for a really weird and funny Predator side of the book. The same thing goes for the plot, it’s the Predator dropped into the campy and innocent world of Archie. Well, at least until all the killing and death starts. Spoiler alert: some of the gang takes the dirt nap and it isn’t pretty. This comic is more like a dirty pleasure for Archie fans and is also filled with Predator movie inside jokes, but I wouldn’t recommend it for kids. Unless you let them watch the Predator movies, then knock yourselves out. Nick Klie is manager of High Octane Comics For more, visit 250-Third Ave. or call 250-377-8444.

Margaret Atwood Margaret on growing Atwood prominence on growing in Trump prominence era in TORONTO — Margaret Atwood isn’t celebrating the idea that the election of U.S. President Donald Trump has added a new level of resonance to her work. The Canadian literary star is at the Toronto International Film Festival promoting the new CBC/Netflix miniseries Alias Grace, an adaptation of her 1996 novel about a poor Irish immigrant convicted of killing her employers in 1843. The show comes on the heels of another series inspired by an Atwood book, the dystopian saga The Handmaid’s Tale, about a totalitarian theocracy that makes women property of the state and forces some to bear children for infertile couples.
