City seeks the power of sewage SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Can flowing sewage generate electricity? That’s what the City of Kamloops wants to know. The city plans to hire a consultant to help determine if it is technically and economically feasible to build a tiny hydroelectric project on one of the city’s busiest sewer lines. City of Kamloops utilities engineer Liam Baker said the city has identified a major sewer line running down Summit Drive near Thompson Rivers University as a potential location for the project,. Baker said Kamloops is wellsuited for this type of project because a large number of sewer lines run downhill, noting the location near TRU was the obvious choice because it’s in a steep area of town. That line, which is 60

centimetres in diameter and sees a peak flow of 231 litres of sewage per second, has a population of 25,000 contributing to it. “There’s a fair amount of potential energy in the main with the constant flow of sewage,” Baker said. As for how much power the sewage-spinning generator might produce, Baker said it would likely be in the order of hundreds of kilowatts. “It’s a relatively modest amount of energy in the scheme of things,” he said. “It’s not going to power the city or anything, but it may provide enough electricity that the capital investment is outweighed by how much we can make off the energy.” The city plans to sell the power it generates to BC Hydro. The idea of using sewage flow to generate electricity isn’t a new

one, even for the province, but Kamloops’ version might be. Fort St. John has a similar microhydro project, but its generator relies on the flow of treated sewage, which has a predictable consistency and chemical makeup. Baker said the city’s version would instead use raw sewage, which is another reason why a study must first be done. “That’s one of the areas that we’re focused on, is whether the technology exists to either screen out some of the material in the raw sewage or whether that becomes problematic,” he said. The feasibility study, which is expected to cost $50,000, will be funded through the city’s Climate Action Fund, which in turn is funded by the provincial government. Baker said the city plans to start the project on Nov. 3 and will complete it by March 2018.

Arrests after chase A man and a woman are in custody following a highway police chase that ended in Valleyview on Thursday afternoon after Mounties deployed a spike belt. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the incident began when Vernon Mounties called Kamloops police about a stolen vehicle. Police deflated at least one of the vehicle’s tires with a spike belt on Highway 1 near Lafarge, but the driver kept going. After exiting on Summit Drive, Shelkie said, the vehicle was driven down Columbia Street and back onto the highway. Police were able to stop the car on Highway 1 near Vicars Road. A rifle and a handgun were seized from inside the vehicle, Shelkie said.

Duncan to be honoured at weekend kidney walk ‘She’s an amazing lady — really, such a giving, loving, wonderful person,’ says the man to whom she donated kidney TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

LEFT OUT OF A WILL? Has your spouse or parent recently died leaving you little or nothing in his or her Will?

t was Christmastime 2013, and Lloyd Garner and his wife, Gen, had just brought their three adopted children — ages four, five and six — home from Lithuania. Home was Bridge Lake, 150 kilometres north of Kamloops, and the going was good — for just about a year, anyway. Late in 2014, Garner said, he began feeling lethargic. “I just started having low energy,” he told KTW. “By February, I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep. I took time off work. In June, I resigned from my job and my wife and I prayed about it.” In July 2015, doctors diagnosed Garner, now 54, with kidney failure and he was put on a donor wait list that could have taken anywhere between 12 months and 10 years. Enter Susan Duncan. The erstwhile Kamloops Daily News city editor, now a communications staffer with Interior Health, met Garner’s wife through work. Gen is employed in human resources at the health authority and Duncan profiled the Garner family in an internal IHA newsletter after they adopted their three Lithuanian children. “I just heard through the grapevine that her and her husband were adopting three kids from Lithuania, and I thought, ‘What a cool story,’” Duncan said. “They were going to adopt one child, then the people in Lithuania said, ‘We’ve got these three siblings — would you consider three?’” The Garners, of course, did not say no. Fast-forward about 18 months; Duncan, by chance, was on an elevator at Royal Inland Hospital with Gen, who was carrying a blanket.

Losing a parent or spouse can be devastating, and you may ﬁnd yourself in a situation where his or her estate has left you with far less than you were expecting, or to which you may be entitled. In B.C., when a parent or spouse dies, you have a narrow window of time to challenge a Will and if a court ﬁnds that the deceased hasn’t made adequate provision for you, it has the ability to change the Will. But, if you fail to bring a claim within the time limits, you will not be able to challenge the Will.

Lloyd Garner received a new kidney from Susan Duncan last year. The father of three adopted children said his energy is slowly returning. Duncan is being honoured at this weekend’s Kamloops Kidney Walk.

IF YOU GO The Kamloops Kidney Walk takes place on Sunday at McDonald Park, with registration beginning at 10 a.m. and the walk starting an hour later. It is an opportunity for those impacted by kidney disease to raise awareness.

“I asked her why she had a blanket,” Duncan said. “She said it was for Lloyd. She said he was on dialysis. She said, ‘Oh yeah, he’s downstairs, come and meet him.’” Duncan obliged and met briefly with Garner. “It was quick — maybe three minutes,” she said. “Then I was leaving and I said, ‘Let me know if I can do anything for you, short of giving you a kidney.’ “He said, ‘I’m A-positive.’ I said, ‘Oh God, I’m A-positive.’ So I went back to him and said, ‘Well, I better get tested.’” That took about 10 months, Duncan said, but she was eventually deemed a match. Surgery took place last summer. Duncan said she was in and out in a matter of a few days. Garner’s recovery is taking a bit longer, which is normal, but

the progress is undeniable. “I’m able to interact more and play with my children,” he said of the three Lithuanian adoptees, who are now eight, nine and 10. “My energy is slowly coming back.” Duncan is being honoured this weekend at the Kamloops Kidney Walk — the first organ donor to be recognized at the annual event. Garner and his family are travelling to Kamloops for the walk from their new home in Salmon Arm. He said he is excited to see Duncan honoured. “That is absolutely fantastic and so well-deserved,” Garner said. “She’s an amazing lady — really, such a giving, loving, wonderful person. “She’s the one that saved my life. She gave me my life back.” Duncan, meanwhile, has been deflecting praise. “I feel kind of embarrassed,” she said. “The last thing I want is for people to say, ‘Oh, wow, how great are you to give this kidney?’ Really, how great are the Garners for taking this family in? “It was so sad to me that Lloyd couldn’t be a full, active dad.”

Abbotsford is too big, Vernon is too small — but the City of Kamloops is just the right size for a federal partnership that funds housing-first projects each year. Since 2012, the city has been administering Ottawa’s Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) a program that provides money for homelessness initiatives. Money is distributed under the guidance of local non-profits and a “lived experience” committee of residents who have been or are struggling with homelessness. By 2019, when the five-year HPS contract ends, local organizations will have seen about $5 million flow their way from Ottawa. Housing-first strategies require organizations to provide shelter for people as a first step on the road to recovery. While a person with a drug or alcohol addiction might be barred from other housing pro-

grams, housing-first strategies say that person needs a place to stay initially — and then they can be provided with services to deal with addictions and mentalhealth and other issues. Jen Casorso, social and community development supervisor for the city, said Kamloops is one of only about 60 communities across the country receiving the funds, which are restricted by population size. Natalie Serl, who administers the funds, said ASK Wellness is a groups that benefits from the funding. “When they deliver a housing-first model, they really provide the supports to the people living in their suites,” Serl said. “They do check-ins with them, they help them get to their appointments. They know they’re safe in their home and they’re able to re-house if there are issues going on where they’re at.”

The program has also started funding a housing manager for Lii Michif Otipemisiwak Family and Community Services, because it provides support services as part of its youth housing program. A smaller portion of the funds can also be used for life skills training and other non-housingfirst programs. Serl said the program can provide capital funding, but is often used to support day-to-day operations. “A lot of agencies may be able to get capital funding to start something, but we can provide the ongoing supports,” she said. Casorso said a community housing strategy her department is launching will help prepare the city as it looks to renew its HPS contract in the next few years. She said the city is also hoping to strengthen its housing partnerships with, and cash flow from, Victoria.

Candidates’ views on housing The issue of homelessness and affordable housing continues to be at the forefront of discussions in Kamloops, with social-service agencies overwhelmed with tending to he needs of those without a place to live. The original story outlining the issue — which features an interview with Medicine Hat Mayor Ted Clugston, whose city’s approach to tackling homelessness has resonated across the continent — is online at kamloopsthisweek.com, under the Kamloops Byelection tab. Candidates’ views on this topic appeared in all three print editions of KTW this week and are also online.

KATHY SINCLAIR Housing is considered affordable when it consumes less than 30 per cent of household income. The city developed a comprehensive affordable housing developers package in 2014 (available online), yet demand still isn’t keeping up with current needs, let alone projected growth. More housing is needed for buyers, renters and agencies seeking housing for their clients. Numerous incentives for developers are already available at the municipal level, including a $150,000 grant, development cost charge exemptions and expedited applications. Some of the more recent examples of affordable housing projects are seniors’ housing (Mayfair, Riverbend and Golden Vista). Why aren’t more developers taking advantage of the supports already in place? Co-ordination with

KAMLOOPS BYELECTION 2017 Saturday, Sept. 30

#Kampaign17 provincial and federal governments may be one factor. I believe we need to step things up and get developers and home builders back to the table. We have a housing crisis; it’s time to take action. GERALD WATSON Efforts to avoid urban sprawl and reduce the cost per household for civic services are at least partially responsible for the increase in the cost of housing over the last 20 years — in Kamloops and, even more acutely, in larger urban centres. When the planning authority (in our case, the city) favours infill and greater density and subtly discourages new subdivisions on the periphery of town (by frontloading costs, for example), it

is more economical for the city to provide services to existing and new units in the area where greater density is desired. However, the tradeoff is that building lots become harder to come by, construction of new units becomes more expensive and, by extension, the final product becomes more expensive. No one wants to see unregulated urban sprawl, but one positive step the city could take is make it easier and less costly to get new building and building lots online. JESSE BOCHEK With the one per cent vacancy rate and the average rent at $859, affordable housing is a concern for all of us. I’d be surprised to find someone who

doesn’t care about it. To combat these issues, we can take a look at where the city allows basement suites and expand that beyond those areas. As long as you’re willing to build the right space, you should be allowed to rent out a part of your home. Giving tax incentives to those who keep their rent low would tie into that. Secondly, tiered microhousing is a bulletproof model that would suit our mid- to low-income population well. As I’ve made it a priority in my campaign, the housingfirst initiative (noquestions-asked housing for homeless and at-risk people) is a proven system that saves taxpayers money and, most importantly, saves lives. This comes down to three things: zoning that accommodates, utilizing empty spaces and working with higher levels of government to make it happen.

Vote for Jeanne Marr for City Councillor

I believe that no one knows a city better than the people who reside there. The residents of Kamloops have always had a strong and diverse voice and I want to listen to that voice and carry it forward. Although we live in a wonderful community there are always areas that we need to focus on and improve. I want to focus on developing more jobs in technology without compromising our industrial jobs, which are the bedrock of our city. We have a world-class university and we want to retain these students in Kamloops by providing jobs and supporting mentorship programs so they can work to their full potential. We also want to attract others by creating a liveable city. Small business, combined, makes up Kamloops’ largest employer. We need to support these businesses to ensure they can sustain themselves and grow. As a city of approximately 90,000 people and growing, I want to ensure that our tax dollars are being spent efficiently and responsibly. I firmly believe that we, as a city, are only as strong as our most vulnerable. Presently we have an increasing homeless population, a growing senior population requiring care and access to services, along with struggling young families. I believe our city needs to support and expand the services we provide with the goal to make them viable and sustainable.

Devastating diagnosis for man with terminal prognosis SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man who was found to have a rare, aggressive brain tumour has received another devastating diagnosis — a second tumour on the other side of his brain. Darrin Yusishen was diagnosed with glioblastoma on July 20 and underwent surgery to remove the mass a week later. Since then, he’s been recovering and undergoing radiation and chemotherapy. Making the family’s situation even more difficult was the fact Yusishen and wife Tammy typically spend much of their time caring for their 12-year-old daughter Bella, who has a genetic disorder called Cornelia de Lange syndrome and requires constant care. Yusishen’s sister Crystal Maloney said doctors were first concerned when they saw some shadowing on the left side of his brain. His removed tumour was on the right side. The new cancer, gliomatosis, is inoperable, and Maloney isn’t sure what impact this exceedingly rare combination of cancers will have on Yusishen’s already terminal prognosis. “Doctors are telling us that they don’t know what the prognosis is for this. It clearly changes the prognosis, but we don’t really know what that means,” she said. Yusishen began radiation and chemotherapy a week ago and he has his family by his side. The family’s two grandmothers are looking after the couple’s two kids in Kamloops while Tammy and Yusishen’s siblings are with him when they can be. This is a family that knows the hardships of being struck with devastating rare conditions. In addition to their daughter Bella, whose genetic condition affects between just one in 10,000 and one in 50,000 births, Yusishen’s father also had Pick’s disease, a rare degenerative brain disease that causes dementia to rapidly progress. He died in 2010, two years after receiving the diagnosis, and nearly seven years after the onset of symptoms. “It’s really hard to process the injustice of having

this level of hardship — the burden of these things occurring in our family,” Maloney said. “The injustice of any one of these things happening to a person — it’s so heavy. But when you combine all of these diagnoses, you wonder why. How can you not wonder why?” Yusishen’s story of late revolves around the hardest of luck. Professionally, however, he worked in an industry focused on good luck.

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

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

HOT: The interest in civic politics, from those seeking office to those who will decide who enters that office. The Kamloops byelection will be held on Saturday, Sept. 30, and the number of candidates (27) vying for a total of three seats is impressive. Also impressive was the fact that, in this age of instant tweets and Facebook posts, more than 200 people took time from their busy weeknight lives to attend a media-sponsored all-candidates forum at Sagebrush Theatre this week. And we hear advance voting numbers are healthy (final advance voting day is Wednesday, Sept. 27, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Heritage House in Riverside Park), so we can be optimistic voter turnout on Sept. 30 will surpass the expected abysmal rate of 10 to 12 per cent.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: News from the retail front, which has impacted people employed in Kamloops. As Sears prepares to close its department store in Aberdeen Mall, we are dealing with word from Wholesale Sports that every store in the Western Canada chain, including the Notre Dame outlet, will close. Also on the bubble is Toys “R” Us, with the Canadian and American arms of the company seeking bankruptcy protection amid crushing debt. The toy giant intends to keep its stores open during the process — including the Columbia Square location in Kamloops — but such news can only add to the stress of retail employees everywhere. Online shopping may be available at the click of a mouse, but it is the antithesis of the definition of “community.” Do some good and make your next purchase while walking into a brick-and-mortar store in the Tournament Capital.

Fore-lorn on Mac Isle

hen it is watered, fertilized and landscaped just right, there is no finer place to be on a warm summer’s day than smack in the middle of the McArthur Island Golf Course. Low handicaps, mulligan mavens or golfers as green as well-tended fairways — the gem of a course tucked away on the west end of the island is an oasis for myriad skill levels. That is, it was an oasis of sorts until excessive spring flooding and forest fires conspired this year to wash and cough out the golfing season on Mac Isle even before it began. And, after KTW spoke with course owner Bill Bilton, who leases the land from the city, I fear we may have all played our last round by the river — and that would be a damn shame, but something that has become familiar in Kamloops. I was walking around McArthur Island two weekends ago when I noticed the course was looking as shabby as a thrift store blazer. There were holes ripped in the wire fence, cut open by vandals. There were yellow fairways, weed-strewn tee boxes and greens that were anything but. We knew the course was damaged by spring flooding and we knew there were some evacuees camped out in the area as smoke and wildfire evacuees permeated the city. But we assumed, once both had receded, that some expert groundskeeping would return to golfers the jewel that sits in the

MUSINGS middle of Kamloops. Alas, that will not happen this year and it may not happen — period. While I hold out hope saner minds prevail, I fear we may have no more good walks spoiled among the deer and marmots as we drive, pitch, chip and putt our way through a natural splendour that magically erases any sign — visual or auditory — a city of 95,000 is humming along nearby. Losing the Mac Isle golf course would be a travesty, considering what has replaced recreational facilities that formerly called the island home. There was once a cool little BMX track right next to the golf course. It was demolished by the city and became a . . . parking lot. There was once a valuable community centre right next to McArthur Island’s arena complex. It was called the McArthur Island Youth Centre and was home to many groups, including the 204 Black Maria cadets, the Boys & Girls Club of Kamloops and various youth and seniors’ groups. It was demolished by the city and became a . . . parking lot. (There was also a venerable

building downtown that once housed an iconic department store and a respected daily newspaper. It was demolished by the city and became a . . . well, you know.) We are known as the Tournament Capital of Canada, and rightly so. Mac Isle has a lot of soccer and baseball fields. The TCC/Hillside Stadium complex at TRU is world-class. We have more arenas than many cities twice our size. But we shouldn’t be so quick to allow facilities to die or consider death as an option. Aberdeen Hills Golf Course could have been saved. The aforementioned facilities on McArthur Island could have been utilized as something other than fossilfuel hosts. The McDonald Park neighbourhood saw its outdoor pool torn out and a promise of a wading pool broken. And only the tenacity of Westsyde residents saved that community from watching its beloved pool and fitness complex venture into the recreation hereafter. We need the McArthur Island Golf Course to return to its sententious splendour, if only to offer a visual break to the neverending rows of soccer fields, a group of which robbed Mac Isle of its driving range a decade ago, with the city paying Bilton a million bucks for the right to amputate the course. In his interview with KTW, Bilton, who runs a first-class golf course at The Dunes at Kamloops, mused about the Mac Isle golf course land’s viability as an RV park. More parking? Shhh — the city might be listening. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PHYSIATRISTS HARD TO RECRUIT Editor: I want to clear up a bit of confusion created by an article in the Sept. 12 edition of KTW (‘RIH preparing for construction of $417M patient-care tower’). I was asked to serve as a last-minute fill-in speaker at my Rotary Club’s weekly luncheon on Sept. 11, due to a cancellation by our invited speaker. I gladly accepted and gave an informal update about the new patient-care tower and new doctors who were just recruited. I was not aware that there was a journalist in the room until I finished talking and answering questions. He did not identify himself. He left quickly at the end of the talk without speaking with me directly or confirming anything I said. In my presentation, I spoke about the hardship of recruiting a physiatrist. I erroneously said we could lose our tertiary-care status if we

lost our current physiatrist, Dr. Jill Calder. Actually, it would be our level 2 trauma centre that would be challenged. I did not say Calder was leaving, but that she might be looking to retire in the near future. Interior Health has been trying for years, with some difficulty, to recruit a new physiatrist as they are not in abundance. As CEO of the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, my role is to ensure our hospital is well equipped, which in turn helps the hospital recruit and retain the best medical team possible to care for our community. I did not intend to cause any angst that doctors are leaving. The focus of my talk was on the successful recruitment of many new physicians. I hope this clears up the confusion caused by my impromptu talk. Heidi Coleman CEO Royal Inland Hospital Foundation

Promote reading like dietary fibre ROBIN BRUNET

SPECIAL TO KTW

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

“

Print is dead” was the famous cry of academics who predicted the digital age would do away with traditional forms of reading. While tablets, smart phones and other devices have proven them largely correct, a growing number of studies has illustrated the shortcomings in learning that the phenomenon has caused. In June of this year, the Canadian Paediatric Society took a more reasoned stance. In a position statement titled “Screen time and young children: promoting health and development in a digital world,” the organization cited the potential benefits of exposure to digital media in children under five years old. Taking into account studies showing that children three to five years old in Canada spend an average of two hours daily in front of screens, the society stated that well-designed, age-appropriate television programs with specific educational goals “can provide an additional route to early language and literacy for children. Quality programming also fosters aspects of cognitive development, including positive racial attitudes and

imaginative play.” The society added: “Early evidence suggests that interactive media, specifically applications that involve contingent responses from an adult, can help children retain taught information. “This responsiveness, when coupled with ageappropriate content, timing and intensity of action can teach new words to 24-month-olds.” According to the society’s research, there is evidence interactive “learn-to-read” apps and e-books can build early literacy by providing practice with letters, phonics and word recognition. Intent on providing a balanced view, the society also noted the drawbacks of digital media exposure, namely that prolonged TV viewing has been associated with “lower cognitive abilities, especially related to shortterm memory, early reading and math skills, and language development.” The society concluded its dissertation by recommending there should be no screen time for children under two years old and one hour daily for those two to five. It also recommended

“avoiding screens for at least one hour before bedtime, given the potential for melatonin-suppressing effects.” Another report, published in May on the Frontiers in Psychology website, explored how parent-toddler behaviour and language differ when reading electronic and print picture books. Patricia Ganea, of the University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, and co-author Gabrielle Strouse, found that electronic reading could be a supportive early literacy activity for toddlers, because “children paid more attention, displayed more positive affect and made themselves more available when reading the electronic than the traditional print versions of the books” during a study of 152 children from Toronto and surrounding areas. Also, “children correctly chose a previously unfamiliar animal labelled in the book more often when they had read the electronic than the traditional print book.” However, the authors concede that “increased engagement does not always translate into increased learning,” and that more studies are required to determine the benefits and hazards of new media. Keith Stanovich, Canada research chair of applied cognitive science at the University of Toronto, is bothered by some assumptions of

screen-based learning. He says “distractions such as texting and simultaneous things to do on the screen will ensure that no deep reading takes place: that’s why book reading is best for deep reading. The idea that children looking at screens are taking in, at a deep level, information from many different streams is a falsehood.” Stanovich explains true learning requires sustained attention and analytic thought; however, “the visual salience of screens in the life of our students, and even more importantly their attentional appeal, can lead to a type of habitual shallow processing.” Stanovich suggests parents think of the issue in terms of nutrition: “We need both fat and fibre in our diets, but fat doesn’t need a cheerleader, whereas fibre does. “Cheerleading for more screen learning among our students is like cheerleading for people to eat more sugar and fat.” He also calls upon educators to promote print reading like a dietary fibre. “They need to explicitly represent it and model it, because it fosters the type to processing that our students — being cognitive misers — won’t naturally do.” • Raise-a-Reader day, Sept. 26, will include various notable Kamloopsiansraising money by selling copies of KTW across the city.

United Way kicks off fundraising campaign The Thompson Nicola Cariboo United Way is twothirds of the way to its threeyear goal of raising $6.5 million. The organization held its annual campaign launch breakfast on Thursday. Communications director Geralyn Alain said the local

United Way is hoping to raise about $2.1 million in the coming 12 months. The organization is in the third year of a three-year campaign with a cumulative target of $6.5-million. “To date, we’re at $4.4 million,” she said. “Our main focus this year

is to hit that goal so we can improve lives in our communities.” New this year is a campaign called United Way Superheroes, in which the organization recognizes members of the community who have gone above and beyond. The first superhero hon-

ouree, announced Thursday, is Jim McCarthy, a retired Highland Valley Copper employee who was instrumental in fundraising efforts over the years by employees at the mine. Superheroes can be nominated online at unitedwaytnc. ca.

I couldn’t live without our Arctic Spa hot tub! It was definitely the best choice we made when we remodeled our back deck. The benefits of owning one greatly out weigh any of the myths that they are too much work to take care of. The knowledgeable and friendly staff at the Edmonton location can answer any questions you have and show you how low maintenance their tubs actually are! Great job

We have owned our hot tub for over five years and love it! We have always had great service from the guys who come to our house as well as when we go into the store for supplies. We like the serviceability of Arctic Spas due to their design and also because it is easy to upgrade our present tub whenever we feel we want to. Recently we were talking to Bill about going to the salt water system and he thoroughly explained exactly what would be required to do so. Thanks

WE TAKE TRADE-INS!

We pay top dollar for trade ins! Get money for your old hot tub and we will deliver your new one at the same time as we remove the old one!

FLU SEASON IS HERE

I would like to talk to you about Flu season so you can make a decision about the Flu shot for you and your family. I would also like to provide other things you can do to protect yourself and your family. At present based on strong scientific evidences I recommend getting the flu shot.

hands to reduce the spread of germs are good practices. If you are sick with flu, stay home from work or school to prevent spreading flu to others. Also boosting your immune system with adequate sleep, eating healthy and exercise can help to prevent the flu and/or shorten the duration of flu. Why do vaccinated individuals sometimes get flu? It takes about 2 weeks after vaccination to develop antibodies. It is possible They may have been exposed to flu virus shortly before vaccination or maybe were exposed during that 2 week period . It is possible they was exposed to a virus not included in the seasonal vaccine. It is possible we maybe exposed to a virus that is not included in the seasonal vaccine. Protection with vaccination is different among population, and depends on age and health of the individual getting vaccinated. Usually flu vaccine works best with healthy younger adults and older children .Older population and people with certain chronic conditions may develop less immunity after vaccination. These individuals still should get vaccinated because it is the best way to protect against flu infection. Where can I get a flu vaccine? Flu vaccines are available at Pharmacies, doctor and nurse practitioner’s offices, clinics , health departments,employers,schools and many more. When can I get my flu vaccine in Kamloops? Pharmacies must send their order to interior health by September 19 and usually receive their order by the end of September or beginning of October.

Healing walk begins Friday A healing walk for survivors of Canada’s residential school system will leave Kamloops for Merritt on Friday morning. The Upper Nicola Indian Band is hosting the Calling our Spirits Back healing walk from the former Kamloops Indian Residential School on the Tk’emlups reserve to the Upper Nicola communities at Quilchena and Spaxomin (Douglas Lake). The journey will include Upper Nicola community members, and their families, who are survivors or intergenerational survivors of residential schools, walking, running, canoeing or riding on horseback. Others who have been impacted directly or indirectly by residential schools are invited to join in part or for the entire journey. Hand drummers are invited to drum at designated locations along the way. The walk will leave the former Kamloops Indian Residential School at 9 a.m., with participants walking north on Highway 5 North, south on Mount Paul Way, across the Red Bridge and into Pioneer Park. The walk will then head to the courthouse on Columbia Street, up Columbia Street and on to Highway 5A in Aberdeen. Participants will then take that highway down to Quilchena, which is just north of Merritt. The walk will be done over two days, with an overnight

stop at Trapp Lake. Ceremonies will be held at each of the communities to welcome home the spirits of those who attended residential school. Support workers will be on hand throughout the event to help residential school survivors physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually along the way. Between 1874 and 1996, Aboriginal children across Canada were taken away from families and communities and forced into residential schools under a government policy to assimilate Indigenous people. In B.C., 22 residential schools mandated by the federal government were operated by the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian. Methodist and United churches of Canada. In the 1920s, attendance at residential schools by children ages seven to 15, was made mandatory by law and families who did not comply were threatened with fines or even imprisonment. The Kamloops Indian School was closed in 1978 after the National Indian Brotherhood formally ended federal government control over First Nations education. It has been repurposed and today the former schoolgrounds house a number of organizations, including the Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc band office, a bandoperated school, a museum/heritage park and a powwow arbour.

Petition now in Ottawa CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod will present to the House of Commons the largest physical petition she’s ever delivered — 30,000 signatures, all on paper and filling a suitcase. The petition asks the federal government to identify end-of-life and hospice care as medically necessary service under the Canada Health Act. It was gathered by the Kamloops Catholic Women’s Defence league. The paper petition largely has signatures from within the riding, although there are also a minority of names from outside KamloopsThompson-Cariboo “It’s filed in a suitcase

I brought to Ottawa,” she told KTW. The petition must be certified by clerks of the Commons. After it is presented by McLeod in the House of Commons, the federal government is duty-bound to respond. The Conservative MP said she agrees with the idea behind the petition. “Essentially, what they’re saying is our hospice in Kamloops, Marjorie Willoughby House, was originally funded totally privately,” McLeod said. “Ultimately, Interior Health provided support. They’re saying palliative care in the hospice is as important as services in the hospital. “They have a legitimate point.” McLeod said she typically presents four to five petitions a year.

Clarification A Sept. 19 column by Dale Bass includes a reference to a Facebook exchange between councillor candidate Kevin Krueger and Barb Nederpel, president of the Kamloops and District Labour Council. Nederpel asked online why Krueger “stormed out” of the council’s Sept. 14 all-candidates forum and Bass, in her column, wrote: “So far, no explanation on Krueger’s ‘elect me’ Facebook page.” Krueger did reply on another Facebook thread, where he denied the accusation and noted he simply left the meeting. Video of the meeting, posted online by the council, appears to validate Krueger’s take on the event.

CRIMES OF THE WEEK THIEVES TARGET GARAGES A number of city garages have been burglarized recently, with the value of the items taken in two incidents exceeding $23,000. In each case, garage doors were forced open and a number of items were taken. In one residence, a 65-inch Samsung TV was taken; on another, thieves walked away with two inflatable paddle boards, three mountain bikes and a laptop computer. Thieves are watching where items are stored. Take the extra time to lock these valuable items securely, even in the garage. This is where good neighbours watch out for each other as a bigscreen TV and three mountain bikes would be noticed being taken down the street or loaded into a vehicle. If you have any information on these break and enters or the whereabouts of any of these items, contact Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-TIPS (8477).

ACTIVE FRAUDSTER AT WORK Kamloops Mounties and a local trucking company need the public’s help in finding this suspect. This suspect ended up with the company’s credit card information and has been using it not only in Kamloops, but across the country. Over the last couple of months, the suspect has racked up more than $5,300 in fuel and other charges. The credit card has now been found, but the information is still active and charges

are still being registered. This suspect is described as a black male in his early 40s. Although some of his face is covered by his hat in the attached photo, someone may recognize this person.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used a speech to the United Nations on Thursday to probe a source of national shame: The historic struggles of Canada’s Indigenous peoples. He spoke of forced migration and forced family separation in residential schools, which he said left a devastating legacy on reserves to this day. He said Canada came to exist without the consent and participation of the Indigenous populations who had lived there for millenniums. “For Indigenous Peoples in Canada, the experience was mostly one of humiliation, neglect and abuse,’’ he said. It was the major theme of his address, which did not gloss over the country’s failures and even referred to the international condemnation they have drawn. But he also looked ahead to at a series of solutions: better infrastructure on reserves, better housing, signing of the UN Declaration on Indigenous Peoples and a dismantling of the old Indian Affairs department.

“Canada remains a work in progress,’’ he said. “For all the mistakes we’ve made, we remain hopeful.’’ Trudeau used these examples to bolster his main point here at the UN this week: That Canada is ready to take on complex challenges, at home and abroad, and deserves a seat on the Security Council. The rest of the speech focused on climate change, international trade rules aimed at helping workers and his controversial tax reform which he cited as an example of his middleclass-friendly policies. Trudeau drew applause when he promised to keep supporting the international climate-change treaty. “There is no country on the planet that can walk away from the challenge and reality of climate change.’’ he said. He also promised to stick to his efforts to empower women and girls. The prime minister’s reference to his tax plans drew a Twitter rebuke from Conservative MP Garnett Genuis. “Unbelievable.” Genuis tweeted. “Trudeau praising his terrible small business tax grab during UN speech. Save that for home at the very least.’’

SEEKING TO RECYCLE THESE THIEVES Back on Sunday, August 13, two people burglarized the Thompson-Nicola Regional District’s recycling depot in Heffley Creek. This thieves cut through a fence and, once inside the compound, took a couple of car batteries and some small appliances. The value of the items stolen is not great, but there is a cost to repair the damage to the fence. Surveillance photos attached are not of the best quality, but officials are hoping someone recognizes the culprits. There are photos on the Crime Stoppers web page

that show the suspects better. One suspect is a white male in his late 20s, with short dark hair. At the time, was wearing a dark tank top. The second suspect appears to be a short white female who wore pants with large holes in the front. Both suspects were wearing headlamps Anybody with information on the identity of the thieves can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8467 (TIPS). You will remain anonymous and will never have to go to court or give a statement.

Earthquake in Mexico kills 245

ASIA

Temblor injures more than 2,000

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY — A high-ranking navy official said Thursday there is no missing child at a collapsed Mexico City school that had become a focus of rescue efforts following this week’s deadly magnitude 7.1 earthquake, though an adult still may be alive in the rubble. Navy Assistant Secretary Angel Enrique Sarmiento said that while there are blood traces and other signs suggesting that someone is alive, all the school’s children have been accounted for. “We have done an accounting with school officials and we are certain that all the children either died, unfortunately, are in hospitals or are safe at their homes,’’ Sarmiento said. The attention of many in Mexico and abroad had been drawn to the plight of a girl identified only as Frida Sofia, who was said to have been located alive under the pancaked school

building and became a symbol for the hopes of thousands of rescuers working around the clock in search of quake survivors. Multiple rescuers at the school site spoke of the girl, with some saying she had reported five more children alive in the same space. Yet no family members had emerged while rescue efforts continued, and some officials had begun to say her identity was not clear. Tuesday’s magnitude 7.1 quake killed at least 245 people in central Mexico and injured over 2,000. That included at least 21 children and five adults at the Enrique Rebsamen school in southern Mexico City. Earlier Thursday, the navy announced it had recovered the body of a school worker from the school. Rescuers removed dirt and debris bucketful by bucketful and passed a scanner over the rubble of the school every hour to search for heat signatures.

China says talks ‘only way out’ for North Korea THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. — China says negotiations offer the “only way out’’ of the standoff over North Korea’s nuclear program. Foreign Minister Wang Yi said there should be no new nuclear state on either side of the divided Korean Peninsula. He urged North Korea not to go further in a “dangerous direction.’’ Wang also called for the U.S. to honour its commitments and for all parties to ease tensions and meet each other halfway. “There’s still hope for peace,” he said. Wang was speaking Thursday at the annual gathering of world leaders at the UN, where North Korea’s recent rapid pace of nuclear and missile tests has drawn international condemnation. Aid-for-disarmament talks have been in limbo for years.

a few seconds, staring at the big back-lit red screen with the word ‘Launch’ on it,” he told the BBC’s Russian Service in a 2013 interview. “I had all the data [suggesting that there was a U.S. missile attack underway] . . . All I had to do was to reach for the phone to raise the direct line to our top commander – but I couldn’t move.” Petrov couldn’t move because his screen was giving him reports from a Soviet spy satellite that five American Minuteman missiles had been launched at the Soviet Union. In the tense international atmosphere of September 1983, Soviet military doctrine was “launch on warning” and send a full retaliatory strike against the United States even before American nuclear weapons start to explode over Soviet missile silos and cities. It was only three weeks since a Soviet

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH fighter had shot down a Korean Air Lines flight and killed all 269 people aboard, including a U.S. Congressman. Six months before that, U.S. President Ronald Reagan had called the Soviet Union an “evil empire” and called for a rollback strategy that would “write the final pages of the history of the Soviet Union.” The Soviet leadership was genuinely frightened and had a view of Reagan not unlike that which the U.S. govern-

ment has today of North Korean leader Kim Jongun. The Soviets feared a surprise attack designed to destroy all of its nuclear missiles and bombers on the ground and had moved to “launch on warning” mode. If Petrov reported what his screen was telling him, the machinery of Armageddon could have started moving swiftly. But Petrov didn’t report it. It was a new system and it could be making a mistake. Besides, he knew you only get one chance at a surprise attack, so logic says you should launch all your missiles at once — more than 1,000 of them in the case of the United States. Launching just five would be beyond stupid. So he waited — for 23 eternal minutes — to see if the Soviet Union’s ground radars also picked up the incoming missiles as they descended toward their targets. They didn’t.

“I realized that nothing had happened,” Petrov said. “If there had been a real strike, then I would already know about it. It was such a relief.” He was an ordinary man who did one extraordinary thing in his life, but think of the courage it took to ignore his orders, trust his judgment and risk exposing his country to a surprise American nuclear attack. Think of what went through his mind in those 23 minutes. He was a hero. No good deed goes unpunished, so Petrov was officially reprimanded for failing to describe the incident in his logbook. He was initially praised by his commanding officer for doing the right thing, but then it was realized that if he was rewarded, the senior people responsible for the system that produced the error would be punished. So he was sidelined,

retired early and subsequently had a nervous breakdown. And the system error? The satellite had spotted a rare alignment of sunlight, reflected from the cloudtops over the U.S. Minuteman fields, that resembled missile launch tracks to its simple-minded imagereading device. There were several similar incidents during the Cold War — a U.S. over-the-horizon radar once reported moonrise as a mass missile launch — but this was the only one that happened when the relevant side was in launch-on-warning mode. Given how full of bugs the missile-detection programs of those days were, it’s remarkable that the U.S. and the Soviet Union got through 40 years of the Cold War unharmed. Full credit to the professionals on both sides who understood how grave the consequences would be if they got it wrong, and always relied on their own intelligence and experience when confronted with terrifying data from their machines. Full credit also to the leaders who stayed calm and never actually threatened each other. Occasionally they declared the other side doomed by history — Nikita Khrushchev’s famous “we will bury you” comment in 1956 and Reagan’s “write the final pages of [Soviet] history” speech of 1983 — but they were always talking about the other side’s economic and political defeat, not its nuclear annihilation. Things are bit different now. Kim’s lunatic threat to “sink” Japan and reduce the U.S. to “ashes and darkness” with his handful of nuclear weapons, like U.S. President Donald Trump’s all-too credible threat to “totally destroy North Korea” go far beyond the language that was used during the Cold War. It would be reassuring to know the professional military on both sides, at least, are as responsible and grown-up now as they were then. Alas, we don’t even know that. gwynnedyer.com

IN AWE OF ORCAS KAROLINE CULLEN SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

t’s a quiet summer morning on Galiano Island and I am comfortably ensconced on a deck chair. Song birds flit back and forth between their feeder and the bird bath. A deer slowly munches its way along the hillside, passing through sunbeams filtered by Garry oaks and arbutus trees. I relish the calm as I sip my tea and scan the waters of Active Pass with binoculars. It looks empty, but then I look again. There is a long plume of mist hanging in the air. Then I spot a second one. Then another spouts up. Those “spoofs” are the mist from whales’ exhalations and can only mean one thing: orcas are approaching. My tea is forgotten. My pulse races. I grab my camera and, with my husband in tow, scamper down our cliffside path to the water’s edge to eagerly await their arrival. Will they, as they have done in the past, come within a metre of where we stand? The approaching whales are most often

a pod from the southern resident killer whales, a highly endangered population of fewer than 80 orcas. They are formidable and magnificent creatures at the top of the ocean’s food chain. Their main food is salmon, which differentiates them from transient killer whales that eat marine animals like seals. Both species are powerful and fast, with a complex matriarchal society. Offspring stay with their mother’s pod their entire lives except when males visit other pods to breed. They can live up to 80 or 100 years. Today, they seem playful and exhibit a multitude of whale behaviours. They breach, spy hop, cartwheel and tail slap. A five- or six-ton whale rockets almost all the way out of the water and then lands on its side with a tremendous bang and huge splash. More quietly, a mother and calf swim in tandem, almost touching. As the orcas come closer to the rocky point upon which I stand, I can hear their breathing sounds. Forceful exhales send up misty sprays and then they are underwater. It is hard to tell where they will surface but they are getting closer. Suddenly, we are startled by a large

male surfacing right by our feet. Its dorsal fin stands almost two metres tall and Gary gets sprayed with some of its breath. Several other whales swim by just under the surface, their distinctive black and white markings readily visible. They are looking for fish in the kelp beds. Another whale swims on its back and repeatedly slaps its tail like a drummer keeping time. The sounds from the slaps resonate across the water. When seen from here, there is no mistaking their massive size, grace and power. They have come so close. I am happy that watching them from shore does not contribute to the many environmental stresses the orcas face such as reduced salmon stocks, toxic chemicals in the ocean and underwater noise pollution. Fortunately other locations for shorebased whale watching are mapped courtesy of an organization called The Whale Trail. Its mission is to “inspire appreciation and stewardship of whales and our marine environment by establishing a network of viewing sites.” Ex-software developer Donna Sandstrom has a self-professed “orca

Distinctive signs featuring a spy-hopping orca dot many a trail along the Salish Sea and down the Pacific Coast. On Galiano, the gentle slope of Bellhouse Park offers ready access to views of Active Pass and Georgia Strait. The Whale Trails at Mary Anne Point and Matthew’s Beach wind toward the shoreline through a forest of arbutus, cedar and fir trees. While one can never tell when the orcas will appear, the hikes are still worthwhile as there might be eagles and kingfishers, seals and sea lions and a wide assortment of sea birds to see. Far too soon the orcas swim out of our sight and their breathing sounds fade. Reluctantly, we turn away from the quiet waters and slowly climb back up the cliff to our deck.

Blazers open season in Kelowna First of home-andhome with rematch slated for Saturday at Sandman Centre The pre-season is officially over. The Kamloops Blazers and Kelowna Rockets will meet at Prospera Place in the Little Apple on Friday night, signalling the start of the Western Hockey League regular season for both B.C. Division clubs. The last meaningful game the Blazers played, on April 2, was against the Rockets, a 4-2 loss at Sandman Centre in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series. Kelowna took five games to bounce Portland in the second round before falling to eventual league champion Seattle in the conference final. The Rockets finished five points ahead of the Blazers last season. On Saturday, the two teams will be in the Tournament Capital for Part 2 of a home-and-home season opener. Home-opener festivities get underway at 5:30 p.m. on the Sandman Centre plaza with a barbecue sponsored by Kal-Tire and Safeway. A bouncy castle and facepainting will also be on hand. The first 4,000 fans into the building will receive a pair of sunglasses courtesy Vision-Pro, as well as a T-shirt. The Blazers are asking fans to wear white to the game. Puck drop for both games is slated for 7 p.m.

Broncos host Sun at Hillside on Saturday Broncos finish out of BCFC playoff picture in back-to-back seasons; Okanagan rolling again The Kamloops Broncos have suffered through another disappointing season, with the playoffs out of reach for the second straight season. At 1-6, the B.C. Football Conference squad has three games remaining in the 2017 season, with two of those contests at home at Hillside Stadium, where large crowds have remained despite on-field struggles. The Broncos will be in action on Saturday night when the league’s best team comes to town for a 6 p.m. kickoff. The venerable powerhouse Okanagan Sun of Kelowna are 6-0-1 entering this weekend’s game, having outscored their opponents 278-84. This will be the second and final meeting between the two teams, the traditional have and have-nots of junior football. On Aug. 5 in Kelowna, the Sun blanked the Broncos 36-0, although the score was much closer at the half — 10-0. While Kamloops could not get its ground game going in that

summer battle, mustering only 33 yards, the team did find some success in the air. The Broncos’ quarterback Colby Henkel threw for 126 yards, with Timothy Solypa the main target, hauling in three catches for 57 yards. On defence, Kamloops allowed the Sun to accumulate 486 yards on offence, but did register 51 tackles, with Jonas Haeni and Justin Haverkamp leading the way with seven each. The Broncos enter Saturday’s game with a solid effort in Langley last weekend fresh in mind. Kamloops dropped a 27-21 decision to the Rams and held a 7-0 lead in the first quarter when a fumble inside Langley’s fiveyard line turned the ball over, leading to a drive that tied the game. Both clubs combined for more than 900 yards in offence. END ZONE — Entering this weekend’s slate of games in the six-team league, Okanagan is atop the standings at 6-0-1, followed by Westshore (6-1), Langley (4-3), Vancouver Island

(3-3-1), Kamloops (1-6) and Chilliwack (0-7) . . . Following this weekend’s game, Kamloops will host Vancouver Island at Hillside on Saturday, Sept, 30, for a 6 p.m. contest. The Broncos will finish the season on Saturday, Oct. 1, in Chilliwack to face the Huskers. Kamloops’ only win of the season was on July 29 against Chilliwack, 41-8 at Hillside Stadium, in the first game of the season . . .

T-Birds’ GM has modest hopes for repeat Canucks put THE CANADIAN PRESS

SEATTLE — Seattle Thunderbirds’ general manager Russ Farwell is definitely not boasting about his team’s chances of repeating as Western Hockey League champions.

“We are at the start of a new cycle with our team,’’ said Farwell, whose club won its first WHL title last spring. “I can’t say we’re putting everything into trying to repeat.’’ Like many of his counterparts, Farwell is dealing with a coaching change, player

movement and adversity heading into Friday’s start of the regular season. Matt O’Dette takes over the T-Birds’ coaching duties from Steve Konowalchuk, who became an assistant with the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks. O’Dette was promoted to

head coach after three seasons as an assistant in Seattle. But while O’Dette provides some continuity behind the bench, the Thunderbirds may have a shortfall of it on the ice, with multiple veterans expected to stick with their respective NHL clubs.

on a show, but drop exhibition game in China ‘We came here actually for Kobe Bryant,’ fan tells reporter JUSTIN BERGMAN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SHANGHAI — In the first NHL preseason game played in China, the Los Angeles Kings used a third-period scoring spurt to put away the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 on Thursday. The teams gave the raucous Shanghai crowd a fast-paced, physical introduction to the NHL, combining for 17 penalties and several powerplay opportunities. Tanner Pearson scored twice for the Kings and Alec Martinez and Jeff Carter each had a goal and an assist. “Obviously, you wanted to put on a show for the fans here and they got to see some goals, too,’’ said Vancouver forward Sven Baertschi, who scored the Canucks’ first goal. The NHL offered a primer that featured team mascots before the game. An announcer came onto the ice to explain the finer points of the game as Fin — Vancouver’s killer whale — and Bailey — Los Angeles’ lion — mimicked infractions such as charging, crosschecking, tripping and hooking. A golden Chinese dragon came out next, held aloft on poles by seven skaters. A group of Chinese kids in hockey uniforms joined the NHL players during the Chinese national anthem. Even if hockey is relatively unknown in China and the rules remain somewhat of a mystery, the crowd certainly appreciated the speed and collisions of the sport. Every shot on goal was met with a loud cheer and each hard check against the boards was met with a collective “Oooh” or “Aaah.” Team allegiances were generally lacking during the game, with the exception of the Canadian flags in the audience. Spectator Inge Zhang, who was wearing a Miami Heat jersey with pink letters, admitted being more a fan of basketball than hockey. A media co-operation manager for the Shanghai Sharks basketball team, she was excited because she’d heard Kobe Bryant might make an appearance. “So we came here actually for Kobe Bryant,’’ she said while her friend laughed. “But I love this sport, too.’’ S I L O S P U L S A R C R Y C R O W

Lessons from fires, flooding and earthquakes

n B.C., it’s been fire — most of it caused by nature, but some manmade. In the U.S., it’s been flooding that brought severe suffering. Not to forget the giant earthquakes that shook up Mexico and brought deaths and loss of properties. It’s been an overwhelming summer season of disasters — and it’s still not all-clear. Compared to saying tearful goodbyes to many homes and properties, most British Columbians had to endure only smokerelated discomforts and ailments. In some ways, it is easier for me to address human needs than to process such disasters theologically — to find the reasons for suffering and death. Questions that gnaw at my soul include: “Why all this meaningless madness of epic propor-

tions? Is God telling us — our nation, our world — something specific? Are these the beginning of the end?” I wish I knew the final and definite answers, but that requires me to be God Himself. Having been relieved of that privilege and responsibility, my nextbest option is to seek answers in His final and definite revelation, the Bible. Nature can be wobbly, infected and terrorized by Satan. But, then, Satan has

already been thrown down from heaven in eternity and toppled on earth in history. Natural disasters are not all “acts of God,” as the insurance industry would sometimes have us believe. They could just as easily be “acts of Satan.” We can underestimate Satan’s power, but anything he does is under the determinative control of God. God’s common grace keeps the Earth from complete destruction. The triumph of Lord Jesus over all principalities and powers at the cross (Colossians 2:15) prevents it from obliteration. Satan, through natural disaster and other activities, attempts to tear into the earth. Humanity’s only eternal security and earthly sustenance at the present is the triune God. One day, after sin refills God’s nostrils and He removes His people

from earth, this planet of ours will destruct. Satan’s present version of natural disasters is an approved-for-allaudiences preview of what will happen when divine mercy is removed. Until then, the Earth is suspended between the poles in cosmic warfare. Satan persists in evil activities, having obtained, like in Job’s case, clearance from God to afflict the Earth. During the specialized period of divine terror, however, God’s wrath will be unleashed on human sin. When God’s plans for this worm Earth are done, the sovereign creator will create the new earth — one totally attached to Him. What does natural evil tell us about humanity?

failing to exercise control of the elements. Revelation 16:21 says “gigantic hailstones, weighing about 100 pounds each, fell from heaven on people, but they blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, since it was so horrendous.” Christians can function as watchmen, warning people of future disaster and respectfully pleading for the apathetic to awaken and the defiant to become compliant to God’s terms for human salvation (Ezekiel 33:1-6). Yet natural disasters can showcase human resilience and perseverance. Fire evacuees staying for weeks in shelters has been involuntary, but it forged a determination that would, in the long run, assist further in facing precarious life issues. In fulfilment of the God-given mandate to rule nature (Genesis 1:26,27; Psalm 8), we can

flourish precisely where we have endured calamities. At other times, natural disasters induce reflection and repentance. At the face of disaster, whether man-made (Luke 13:1-3) or by natural causes (Luke 13:4) — the Tower fell probably due to an earthquake — we must repent and evidence fruit of it (Luke 13:6-9). Let us then repent, for eternity is infinitely more important than Earth, relationships are infinitely more so than our tasks and life definitely more than raiment. ryanmitra225@ gmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

40 days of peaceful prayerful vigiL Choose Life Sept. 27 – Nov. 5, 2017 Choose Life 40 Day Prayer Vigil is a focused campaign with a vision to access God’s power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil. Want to end abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide? The first thing to do is pray. Prayer is at the centre of Choose Life 40 Day Prayer Vigil. During each campaign, we are calling on people of faith to fall on their knees before the Lord, asking Him to hear our plea and heal our land. ( 2 Chronicles 7:14). For more information go to www.40daysforlife.com The 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities … and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ’s resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge.

Natural disasters call for humility before God and remind believers to find their security in Him (Psalm 46:1-3). Natural disasters may bring out the best in compassion and community. The whole world unites for search and rescue, recovery, aid and relief efforts with unselfish abandon and generosity, as has been witnessed recently in B.C. through massive volunteer efforts and financial contributions. On the other hand, natural disasters also provoke mankind’s resistance and defiance of God. Unable to predict and without lasting hope, humanity rebels against God, charging Him for

Patrick George Sutherland

Celebration of Life For

Patrick George Sutherland passed away at the age of 67 in Fort St. John on Saturday, September 9, 2017 after a lengthy and courageous battle with illness. The words “courageous battle” actually applied to Pat because he fought with everything he had during his war against terminal illness. Pat was born in Red Deer on May 7, 1950 and was immediately taken with the great outdoors that surrounded Red Deer and area. Pat left Red Deer to join the RCMP when he was 19 and served most of his police career in BC’s toughest northern detachments. Pat eventually became an investigator for WorkSafe BC and moved up the ladder until his retirement in 2008. Following his retirement, Pat worked as a safety consultant in Alberta and in BC. Pat loved fishing and hunting, but his greatest affection was reserved for his three boys and their families over the years. Pat was predeceased by his parents Ed and Doris, brother Stu, sister Shona, brother Bruce and brother-in-law Al (Shirley) Puzey. He is survived by his wife Lois, sons Braden (Christina), Wade (Lydia) and Darren (Miki), a growing collection of grandchildren that were a huge part of his life. Pat is survived by his siblings Shirley, Jim, Jerry, Roseanne, Kathy and Don. Additionally, he is survived by his sisters-inlaw Michelle (Don) and Anna (Bruce), brother-in-law Greg Chury, brother-in-law Ken (Shona) Heales and mother-inlaw Lona Hirtz. Pat is also survived by many nephews and nieces who played a big role in his life. A Celebration of Pat’s Life will take place (in typical Pat fashion) with a pig roast to be held in Fort St. John, BC on October 8, 2017 at 1:00 pm.

Oliver Gannon and Bill Coon make up Two Much Guitar, which is coming to Kamloops to perform a show at Kamloops United Church on Sept. 30.

or Oliver Gannon, there can never really be too much guitar. The Juno Awardwinning jazz guitarist remembers playing a minimum of seven gigs a week in the 1970s, when he first moved to Vancouver. Back then, there were several places to play and listen to jazz music in the Lower Mainland — but times have changed. “There are fantastic players in Vancouver,” Gannon said. “In my opinion, there aren’t enough places for them to play.” Gannon attributes everything from stricter drinking laws and advancements in home entertainment to parking issues for the changing landscape. Asked if listeners’ appetite for the genre have changed, Gannon said: “We used to complain in the ‘70s that it wasn’t as good as the ‘60s. It’s never as good as it used to be.” Gannon, nonetheless, has enjoyed a storied career playing jazz guitar. Calling himself a late bloomer, he bought his first guitar at age 18, while study-

ing engineering. He then opted for music school and moved to Vancouver. From there, he performed at jazz festivals in Switzerland, the United States and Russia, collaborated with renowned musicians and won a Juno Award for best jazz album alongside colleague tenor saxophonist Fraser McPherson in 1982. In 2003, Gannon was named jazz guitarist of the year by the Canadian Jazz Awards. “I’ve actually been working since 1965,” he told KTW. In reflecting upon his career, Gannon noted the change in the business and said he is doing about two gigs weekly. He counts himself lucky to have travelled but added it gets tiring. In his 70s, he battles with tendonitis but still enjoys playing guitar and doesn’t see a day when he’ll give it up completely. “I just do the gigs I want to and play with the players I want to play with,” he said. Among those players are Bill Coon and Darren Radtke, who will perform with Gannon as Two Much Guitar in Kamloops on Sept. 30 at Kamloops United Church,

421 St. Paul St. Like Gannon, Coon is a respected jazz guitarist, nominated for a Juno and also named guitarist of the year at the National Jazz Awards (2009). Gannon met Coon at the Alma Street Cafe, when he had just come to Vancouver in the 1990s. “The first time I played with Bill it was just as easy as falling off a log and it’s been like that ever since,” Gannon said. They don’t require much rehearsing with their experience and Gannon said their connection comes down to knowing their instruments. “You might be playing a typical chord progression played that way,” Gannon said. “If Bill hears me play a slight variation, he’s able to pick up on that.” Gannon said Radtke is a guitar player performing bass, with solos “at least as interesting as Bill’s and mine.” Gannon is unsure who will be performing on drums with the group. Tickets are $24 including tax and fees and can be purchased from Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or kamloopslive.ca.

Authors launch book on social justice in Kamloops Food security, Occupy Kamloops among initiatives documented JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

n Monday, local authors will release a new book documenting historical social justice initiatives in Kamloops. Retired TRU assistant professor and social worker Trish Archibald was the brainchild behind Building Community in Kamloops: Social Justice in Action. “Sometimes, the history of how we got to today gets lost. So it’s [the book] really for people who are doing the work, to understand the work that’s been done in the past, that they’re not starting from scratch,” Archibald told KTW. “There’s that old saying, if we don’t know our history, we tend to get stuck in it and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it.” Building Community in Kamloops has seven chapters focussed on different social justice topics such as food security, social housing and special needs education. Stories in the book provide context to local resources such as the Kamloops Handydart, partnerships like Changing the Face of Poverty and centres such as the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism. It all stems back to social justice — not charities, which are different in that they respond to immediate needs and rely on donations, Archibald said. Social justice, instead, provides services regardless of ability or desire of donors and strives to change laws and legislation to

KTW FILE PHOTO Stemming from the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City, Occupy Kamloops was a protest for equality in 2011 at Spirit Square in North Kamloops (above). The social justice initiative is featured in the new book Building Community in Kamloops: Social Justice in Action (below), which will be launched on Monday.

meet goals of making society more inclusive. For example, Archibald called the food bank a “Band-Aid solution” and noted the importance of the Kamloops Food Policy Council, which was pioneered by Laura Kalina to ensure Kamloopsians have access to healthy food and that the city could survive if the Coquihalla were to shut down. “It’s [the food bank] not a long-term solution,” Archibald said. Each chapter was written by different local authors, who were all approached by Archibald. David Charbonneau, a retired TRU electronics teacher and former faculty association president who is currently a columnist for CFJC Today, was one such person. He wrote about the 2011 Occupy Kamloops movement.

There’s the old saying, if we “don’t know our history, we tend to get stuck in it and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it.

”

— TRISH ARCHIBALD, Kamloops author and social worker

Stemming from the larger Occupy Wall Street in New York City, a group of as many as two dozen protesters camped in tents over a period of one month at Spirit Square in North Kamloops. Charbonneau at the time frequented the former Cowboy Coffee across the street from the square, which is now home to Red Beard Cafe. He said protesters used the cafe’s bathrooms and he was involved “only in the periphery.”

The Occupy Kamloops chapter draws on Charbonneau’s observations and interactions with participants, media and social media reports, among other sources. He called Occupy Kamloops a “remarkable moment” that brought the community together. “People were donating pizzas. People were bringing pots of stew at night,” Charbonneau said. “And it was non-partisan in that Safeway was volunteering food, unions were giving support. There was really a sense that something

could be done.” The chapter provides a glimpse into the protest six years ago, but also reflects on the movement’s legacy. Among goals, were a more balanced distribution of income and reduced influence of corporations on politics. Charbonneau conceded expectations were high and trying to achieve those goals in Kamloops may have been a “letdown”, but he said the movement created awareness about inequality between the rich and poor, the top one per cent and the other 99. “That movement,

although it was a brief spark, it generated a lot of interest in the whole notion of inequality,” Charbonneau said. “The whole notion that the country should be distributed amongst everyone. That’s the definition of social justice.” He noted a byproduct from Occupy Kamloops was First Nations peoples informing protesters that the public land on which they were occupying was in fact unceded land. “It was sort of an occupy within an occupy,” Charbonneau said. Building Community in Kamloops is 129 pages and took four years from the author recruiting and writing stages until the book was self-published. Charbonneau’s artwork was used for the front and back covers. Other authors included: Sheila Nelson, Jennifer Murphy, Sheila Park, Rose Soneff and Tracy Hoot. Archibald was also involved with two books written for the Kamloops Resource Centre: Not Just a Tea Party: Celebrating Women’s Contributions to Community Life and One Action at a Time: Women’s Untold Stories II, which chronicled the stories of women who helped shape the community. A book launch for Building Community in Kamloops is on Monday, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., at the Smorgasbord Deli on Victoria Street and Seventh Avenue in downtown Kamloops. The book is $20 and can be purchased at the launch or from Archibald by emailing tarchibald@tru.ca.

Still here after 45 years The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972. The longest serving restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long. Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.

The current location at 1800 Tranquille road is the original location and as Cosmos says "We never mess with success". Bamboo Inn is a 100 seat facility that can also host business, staff, or any function and they have a liquor license. They also cater to large parties with any dietary requirements. Stop in or call and see what you may have been missing. "After 45 years, our food and customer service is proof enough that we're doing something right" Cosmo says.

Culture under microscope until TPP finalized

he Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is still being negotiated by the remaining 10 countries in the trade deal. Much has been said about the economic effects the deal will have on Canada, but the cultural issues have rarely been talked about. At issue is the effect the TPP will have on Canadian content (CanCon) laws and our country’s ability to protect it’s own culture from outside cultural influences. But, what the TPP will affect and how it will affect it is not clear. Canadian internet law expert Michael Geist is concerned the TPP will lock in Canadian content quotas at their existing levels (40 per cent for most radio and TV stations). Through the agreement, Canada will

EDIT be able to protect and maintain existing measures that affect culture and their industries and their ability to support and create Canadian artistic expression, but exempts discriminatory requirements and financial contributions for cultural development and any measures to restrict online foreign content. Geist takes this to mean the government of Canada wouldn’t have a right to increase Canadian content laws

after the TPP comes into affect. Furthermore, he said the TPP restricts Canada’s right to tax foreign cable and TV channels or force them to add Canadian content to their Canadian feeds. Such a law would allow other countries to sue Canada through the TPP over protecting Canadian content laws. However, Canadian communications and cultural policy expert Peter Grant disagrees. He feels the most important word in the deal is “discriminatory.” Grant said the law protects Canadian culture and allows Canada to set its own policies on culture. What makes it problematic is a discriminatory law, one that punishes arbitrarily. He argues taxes can be levied and requirements enforced if the law is enforced unilat-

erally, regardless of the country of origin. The taxes would only be discriminatory if applied on a case-bycase basis. Grant said Canada has always protected its culture in trade negotiations, as they have in past trade deals such as NAFTA, since cultural products are seen as “services” and not “goods”, which are legally different from one another. However, this hasn’t stopped organizations outside Canada to try to dismantle our cultural laws. The U.S.-based International Intellectual Property Alliance, which represents many U.S.-based media companies, has been lobbying TPP deal-makers to pressure Canada to change their cultural laws. The Canadian Music Publishers Association (CMPA) have been working to

protect Canada’s ability to make it’s own music and believes undermining CanCon rules would hamper Canadian musicians. Other organizations in Canada like the Council of Canadians and OpenMedia have criticized the TPP for essentially “criminalizing” some uses of the internet, such as artist mashups and imposition of harsh fines on intellectual property. With the U.S. pulling out of the TPP, nothing remains certain about the future of the deal and Canadian culture will surely be under the microscope until the deal is finalized.

TORONTO — When Margaret Atwood took the stage with the team from The Handmaid’s Tale at the end of Sunday’s Emmy Awards, Mike Hamm cheered on the CanLit legend from his Halifax home while the Los Angeles audience gave her a standing ovation. The manager of Bookmark II bookstore in Halifax is a “huge” fan of the Torontobased author and has recently seen a “phenomenal” spike in sales of Atwood’s 1985 dystopian novel that inspired the series that won eight Emmys, including best drama. “I think we’ll see a definite sales surge with the Emmy win,’’ Hamm said. “I’ve been a lifelong fan. I’ve read everything that she’s written. They were thanking her from the stage and I was thinking, ‘Oh, she’s got to be in the audience,’ and it was very nice to see her get up on the stage with them.’’ Booksellers say it’s not unusual for an older novel to make such a huge comeback — The Great Gatsby, for instance, has surged to the top of bestseller lists with various adaptations — but it doesn’t often happen with a Canadian title. Many say The

Handmaid’s Tale, which streamed on Hulu in the U.S. and aired on Bravo in Canada, is relevant today because of its added resonance in the Trump era. With its look at a totalitarian theocracy that makes women property of the state, it speaks to current concerns about women’s rights, although Atwood has been quick to point out the series was in production well before U.S. President Donald Trump was elected. “It shows us that books speak far beyond their moment in time,’’ celebrated Canadian author Madeleine Thien, who won last year’s Scotiabank Giller Prize, said after announcing this year’s long list in St. John’s. “I feel like The Handmaid’s Tale is so pertinent right now,’’ added fellow acclaimed Canadian novelist Lisa Moore.

Giller Prize long list released THE CANADIAN PRESS

ST. JOHN’S — Rachel Cusk’s novel Transit and Eden Robinson’s Son of a Trickster are among the contenders for this year’s Scotiabank Giller Prize. Madeleine Thien, last year’s winner, announced the long list at a ceremony in St. John’s, N.L. The prize awards $100,000 to the winner and $10,000 to the other finalists. Transit (HarperCollins Publishers Ltd) and Son of a Trickster (Alfred A. Knopf Canada) were among 12 titles chosen from a field of 112 books. The five-member jury described a collection that “gave the impression of a world in transition: searching inward as much as outward, wary but engaged.” A short list will be announced on Oct. 2 and the winner will be announced at a televised gala in Toronto on Nov. 20. The jury panel included Canadian writers Anita Rau Badami, Andre Alexis and Lynn Coady, along with British writer Richard Beard and U.S. writer Nathan Englander. “As with any year, there were trends, themes that ran through any number of books: the plight

of the marginalized, the ongoing influence of history on the present, the way it feels to grow up in our country, the way the world looks to the psychologically damaged,’’ the jury said in a release. “But 2017 was also a year of outliers, of books that were eccentric, challenging or thrillingly strange, books that took us to amusing or disturbing places.” Also making the longlist: • David Chariandy for Brother (McClelland & Stewart), • David Demchuk for The Bone Mother, (ChiZine Publications), • Joel Thomas Hynes for We’ll All Be Burnt in Our Beds Some Night (HarperPerennial, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers Ltd), • Andree A. Michaud for Boundary, translated by Donald Winkler (Biblioasis International Translation Series), • Josip Novakovich for Tumbleweed (Esplanade Books/ Vehicule Press), • Ed O’Loughlin for Minds of Winter (House of Anansi Press), • Zoey Leigh Peterson for Next Year, For Sure (Doubleday Canada), • Michael Redhill for Bellevue

Square (Doubleday Canada), • Deborah Willis for The Dark and Other Love Stories (Hamish Hamilton Canada), • Michelle Winters for I Am a Truck (Invisible Publishing). Last year, Thien, a Vancouverborn, Montreal-based author was honoured for Do Not Say We Have Nothing, which is set in China before, during and after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. The prestigious award was established by Jack Rabinovitch in 1994, the year after the death of his wife Doris Giller. Rabinovitch died last month at the age of 87. At his funeral, former interim Liberal leader and Ontario NDP premier Bob Rae recalled their longtime friendship, which spanned more than 25 years. Rae said he came to know the beloved businessman as a philanthropist and lover of the arts, passions that led to the creation of a lasting literary legacy with the celebrated Giller Prize. “It has coincided with the explosion of Canadian literary talent in the past three decades and has without a doubt helped Canadian writers and the publishing industry immeasurably,” Rae said in his eulogy.
