FIERY LOAD

A large burning pile of garbage in downtown Kamloops on Thursday morning drew the interest of onlookers and the response of at least two Kamloops Fire Rescue trucks. A garbage truck driver making the rounds in the downtown core noticed his load was on fire. To save the truck, and himself, the driver steered his truck into the empty east parking lot of Value Village — at Seymour Street and Fifth Avenue — and dumped the hot garbage on the ground. Fire crews arrived at about 8:30 a.m. and doused the flames. There were no injuries and no structures were damaged. More photos are online at kamloops thisweek.com.

If adopted, the new system would be in place for the next provincial election in 2021. “Proportional representation means coalition governments . . . It’s unlikely one party in proportional representation would get more than 50 per cent of the vote,” Cook said. Milobar said British Columbians are already expressing frustration with today’s NDP-Green coalition. “No one has a clue about the direction of government,” he said. “It makes it unstable from an investment point of view.” Premier John Horgan said the province’s current electoral system is unfair. “I believe you shouldn’t get all of the power with less than 50 per cent of the votes,’’ Horgan said, noting in the past five B.C. elections, only one political party formed government after receiving more than 50 per cent of votes. Details of a public consultation process will be announced in the coming weeks and will result in a report that includes a recommendation of the questions to be put on the ballot. The legislation is structured so a ballot with more than one question could be accommodated.

SOLAR GAIN Due to the cost of providing hydro service at Juniper West Park, a solar solution was installed to power the irrigation system. Known in the RV world as the “Weekender”, the system from Carmanah Technologies converts 12-volt battery power to 120 volts to supply the irrigation controller, and a battery is used for storage. The battery will be removed during the winter and reinstalled in the spring. A standard pole and base were used with a custom-ordered aluminum mounting plate to hold the panel at the correct angle on the pole. The total cost was less than $17,000, including labour, and the solar solution not incur hydro charges. As the original estimate to provide hydro service was $30,000, using a solar solution has resulted in a savings of approximately $13,000.

Record-setting donation for Thompson Rivers University Chairman of Chinese private school cuts $5-million cheque DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The founder of a network of international schools in China has given Thompson Rivers University the largest donation in its history. Sherman Jen has donated $5 million, which will be used to fund scholarships, research labs and equipment. Jen is founder, chairman and co-CEO of Maple Leaf Educational Systems. He founded the first Maple Leaf International School in 1995 and has built a network of schools in China using the B.C. curriculum. Last year, TRU and Jen announced plans to open Maple Leaf’s first Canadian high school at the university. In September 2016, 59 students in grades 10 to 12 arrived to attend the high school on the TRU campus, studying a B.C. and Chinese curriculum. The students and their teachers occupy a few rooms on the second floor of the Old Main building on campus. The students also have dormitory residences. That agreement anticipates building a private boarding school for the students on the campus as part of the TRU university village plan. Maple Leaf Educational Systems is China’s largest private school system and was certified to provide B.C. curriculum by the province’s Ministry of Education in 1998. The TRU school is the first Maple Leaf has built in Canada. Maple Leaf also has a school at Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Richmond campus. Jen’s donation to TRU breaks down as follows: • $1.5 million for the Dr. Sherman Jen Research Innovation Fund, to support research in the Faculty of Science and the School of Education; • $1.5 million for the Dr. Sherman Jen High Fidelity Simulation Centre, which uses computer-driven high-fidelity mannequins to engage students and faculty in innovative health teaching and research methods not possible using real patients; • $500,000 for the Dr. Sherman Jen Instrumentation Lab, a virtual venue for the next generation of instrumentation professionals;

SHAREHOLDER DISPUTES OVER THE FAMIY BUSINESS Are you a shareholder in a family business or private company? Life may be simple while the founders are alive, but when the company is being passed to the next generation, disputes often arise. Disputes frequently arise after the death of a shareholder when: • new owners of voting shares appoint a new Board of Directors (new management); • shares are passed to the beneficiaries of the deceased shareholder's Will, which means that the other surviving shareholders now have to be in business with the beneficiaries; or

• the beneficiaries (who received their shares under the Will) who hold preference shares tender them for redemption, putting financial pressure on the company to liquidate assets to pay the redemption price.

Sherman Jen (left), the founder, chairman and CEO of Maple Leaf Educational Systems, has donated $5 million to Thompson Rivers University. Maple Leaf is the company behind a Chinese private school that has been operating on TRU’s campus since 2016. He presented university president Alan Shaver with a cheque at an announcement event on Thursday.

• $500,000 for the Dr. Sherman Jen Innovation Competition Prize Endowment, which will fund prizes and support student participants in innovation competitions in areas like science, leadership and business and trades. • $1 million for the Dr. Sherman Jen Student Scholarship Endowment, to support scholarships in science, trades and technology, law, education, social work and the master of education. In making the announcement to a standing-room-only crowd in the Irving K. Barber Centre, Jen said TRU “may not be a big university, but it has big vision.” TRU president Alan Shaver thanked Jen for his donation, which he said has “recalibrated philanthropy” at the university and will create new opportunities for student success and innovative capital development. Shaver said he wanted “to acknowledge the efforts of the late Christopher Seguin, our friend and former vice-president advancement, who was

so instrumental in crafting this donation.” Shaver singled out the innovation competition endowment in particular, which will help students taking part in academic competitions. “Only Christopher Seguin would have thought of that,” Shaver said of the late vicepresident advancement. Seguin, who died last month, worked with Jen for months to create the donation and decide where the money would be designated. Shaver also highlighted the simulation centre, noting nursing dean Donna Murnaghan was smiling at the thought of it being created “in our new nursing building.” Earlier this year, the university announced it received funding that will go toward construction of the nursing and population health building on campus. The innovation lab will be located in the new Industrial Training and Technology Centre, which was announced last year. It is now under construction.

Court of Appeal found the sentence “demonstrably unfit,” but declined to significantly alter it six months into Currie’s probation. Five drug couriers involved in the operation were handed sentences of house arrest. Police used wiretaps to unravel dealings of the gang. At the time, police said the network had ties to the notorious United Nations gang. Police launched an investigation into Crawford, who went by the name “Dicky” on the wiretaps, in February 2012. Between April and October of that year, undercover officers made 20 buys from Crawford’s dealers, the largest being $5,000 for three ounces.

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 massive donation to Thompson Rivers University by Sheldon Jen, founder of a network of international schools in China. The $5-million donation is the largest in the university’s history and will be used to fund scholarships, research labs and equipment. Jen is founder, chairman and co-CEO of Maple Leaf Educational Systems. He founded the first Maple Leaf International School in 1995 and has built a network of schools in China using the B.C. curriculum. Last year, Maple Leaf opened its first high school in Canada, with 59 students in grades 10 to 12 studying on the TRU campus. NOT: Discussions between the City of Kamloops and Ajax mine proponent KGHM on a communitybenefits agreement. The city announced earlier this year it had reached a deal with KGHM that would see the company pay the municipality $3.8 million per year to cover various costs the city must absorb if the mine proceeds. However, KGHM has now told the city it does not want to undertake talks to finalize the deal until permits are issued. The provincial and federal governments are expected to render a decision on KGHM’s application next month.

OUR

VIEW

HOT (OR NOT, DEPENDING ON YOUR VIEW): The proposed dome over Hillside Stadium. The city is looking at the feasibility of erecting a massive, air-supported dome to cover the field and 400-metre track during the colder fall and winter months. University sports teams and users of the track may be in favour, but based on the explosion of dissent by commenters online at kamloopsthisweek.com — many of whom argue money should instead be spent on urgent social issues — the dome is dividing Kamloopsians.

Westsyde centre a gem

ometimes one can fail to see the forest for the trees — or, in my case, the additions from the deletions. Two weeks ago, I used this space to ramble on about the very real possibility the last ball had been rolled into a cup at the little track that was McArthur Island Golf Course (yes, the course is still there, but I refer to it in the past tense because flooding this past spring precluded it from opening this season and shabby fencing and yellow fairways may foretell a sad ending). While waxing eloquent about playing the course when it was in sterling shape, I noted how disappointing losing the course would be, especially if it was to become yet another nature area or, God forbid, an RV park. While lamenting the possibility, I referenced the loss on McArthur Island of a youth centre building and a BMX track (both replaced by parking stalls) and in nearby McDonald Park of the neighbourhood’s outdoor pool. They are all losses felt by the neighbourhood, but a call from a city staffer to point out some omissions on my part should be highlighted. Yes, the McArthur Island Youth Centre was demolished, but some of the tenants have found better homes — the 204 Black Maria cadets in a refurbished former Westsyde elementary and the Boys and Girls Club in the John Tod Community Centre, a crucial addition to the North Kamloops area that also includes the North Shore YMCA.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS And, the city staffer added, don’t forget the constrained BMX track on Mac Isle was replaced by a much more modern facility on Ord Road. All of these projects, I was reminded, were funded in some way by the city. So, while I would urge the city and McArthur Island Golf Course owner Bill Bilton to find a way to keep that course open, I duly note the city staffer’s points and offer kudos to the city for finding new life after removing longstanding venues (the verdict on McDonald Park remains reserved, pending a final decision by the city on following through with a commitment to replace the demolished outdoor pool with a spray park and a wading park. Only the former has been built). This is a roundabout way of saluting another city facility that has been reborn — the Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre. Having lived in Aberdeen for the first 11 years of my time in Kamloops, there was never an occasion for me to step into the Westsyde facility. Having moved across the river

last year, the upgraded venue is close enough to have become my regular exercise stop and I cannot stop raving about the place. It is bright — much brighter than before the $3-million renovations were done, I am told by regulars there. Parking is the opposite of the TCC, which means there is parking, and plenty of it. The pool water feels warmer than the liquid in the Canada Games Aquatic Centre and the fitness rooms — two good-sized areas containing aerobic equipment and weights, respectively — are clean and never busy enough to create waiting lists at machines. When the city was debating whether to spend the money to upgrade the centre or close the pool and convert the entire space to a gym/community centre, much was made about the need for Westsyde residents to step up and use the place to justify its annual taxpayer subsidy. When I walk in the doors every second day, I see plenty of kids and seniors in the pool and a few people in the fitness rooms. The facility was closed for more than two years and only reopened last month, so it is much too early to determine whether the upgrades have led to an increase in use. Here’s hoping area residents respond to the improvements and increase the number of visits to the centre — even if they make a beeline to the pool and leave me all alone in the fitness centre. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BYELECTION WAS A REFERENDUM ON AJAX Editor: The results of the Sept. 30 byelection really do show the City of Kamloops does not need a referendum on the Ajax mine proposal. The two mayoralty candidates who openly supported the proposed copper and gold

mine south of Aberdeen — Stu Holland and Todd McLeod — finished a very distant third and fourth behind the first- and second-place candidates — Ken Christian and Bill McQuarrie, respectively, who openly opposed the mine. And Carol King, a councillor

candidate whose ads focused on her overwhelming and undeniable support Ajax, finished ninth in a field of 21. If support by Kamloopsians for Ajax was truly there, we would have a mayor and councillors clearly in favour of Ajax. Instead, the top vote-getters in

both the mayoral and councillor races do not support Ajax. The Ajax “referendum” has spoken loudly and clearly against the proposed mine. Bill Hadgkiss and Jim Wentworth Kamloops

INTERIOR CONSUMERS WILL WAIT FOR BLACKWELL of Blackwell Dairy milk, regardless of how long it takes for the rebuild to be completed. Our boys’ first taste of bottled milk was Blackwell Dairy from sippy cups. They can thank Blackwell for their able bones, now 11 and 12 years strong. The first community run we did as a family was hosted by Blackwell Dairy in the pastoral hills of Barnhartvale.

The company helped to nurture our love for being active together, both as a family and a community. Our first glimpse of milk production was on a pre-school tour of the Blackwell farm. An expanded respect for cows and an appreciation for the value of all-thingslocal was born on that day. Blackwell has delivered cold milk to more

than 100 kids at our local elementary school for (at least) the past seven years, offering a brain boost midday when they need it the most. As time passes, I have come to count on Blackwell milk to assuage thoughts about bone density and calcium quotas. Any member of our family could do a taste test and pick Blackwell Dairy milk 10 out of 10 times.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING JESSIE Editor: I would like to thank the Kamloops Players, who raised money for my son, Jessie, as he continues to recover from injuries suffered in an attack in June 2016. Everything is much

They bottle a special magic and no other milk has hit the mark. Will Interior consumers be there when the Blackwell Dairy label is back on the grocery store shelf? Absolutely. Blackwell provided for so many of us when we needed it most. And we will be there for Blackwell. Tamara Vukusic Kamloops

Accused seen as role model ALAN DAVIDSON AWAITING VERDICT IN SEXUAL-ASSAULT TRIAL CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of the men who testified against a man on trial for sexually touching seven boys said Alan Davidson “was everything I wanted to be when I grew up.” Prosector Alexandra Janse argued at the close of a B.C. Supreme Court trial in Kamloops that Davidson should be convicted on all seven counts of sexually touching boys in Clearwater in the late 1970s and early 80s. At that time, Davidson was an auxiliary Mountie, as well as a baseball and hockey coach who travelled on sports and camping trips. The issue of a position of trust is important in the trial because about half the men who

testified — now in their 50s — were 14 or slightly older at the time. The age of consent at that time was 14 years. There is a publication ban protecting their identity. Janse said under today’s laws, there can be no consent to a person in authority — a teacher or coach, for example. But prior to 1983, a position of trust was just one of a number of factors that went into consideration of consent. In some incidents, Janse said, the position of trust was clear. That included a young man who testified being small and picked on. He looked up to Davidson as a role model. His parents allowed Davidson, who was in his early 20s, to take him on a fishing trip.

He so wanted to impress Davidson that he practised for days in preparation. As in other instances, the man testified Davidson sexually touched him while on the trip. In another instance, a grandmother of one of the victims kept a photo album of Davidson. When the sexual touching occurred, that victim testified — in what would become a common refrain during testimony — “I was shocked, scared. I didn’t say anything.” None of the boys resisted, but described being frozen or confused. All of the men were

contacted by RCMP three years ago after a complainant came forward. Davidson, 62, also faces criminal charges relating to alleged incidents in Saskatchewan, where he later served as a Mountie. Janse said all the men, ages 13 to 16 at the time, were naive and had no sexual experience. Defence lawyer John Gustafston argued there is doubt about Davidson’s position of authority and, in many cases, there was consent by the boys who did not fight back or resist. “None of them really see him as an authority figure. To the extent he’s something to do

with the police, he’s described as a keystone cop or rental cop or someone ‘who made sure we didn’t get an impaired’ — not much of an authority figure,” Gustafston said. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan is scheduled to make a decision at a later date. Donegan earlier ruled a videotaped confession made by Davidson to police in 2014 could be used as evidence. That confession came after police asked Davidson about his own abuse suffered as a child. “I f-----’ abused them,” he told police. “That’s the end of the story and you can’t turn the clock back.”

Change over those tires If you are planning a weekend trip on the Coquihalla Highway or Okanagan Connector, make sure your vehicle has winter tires installed. Winter tire regulations came into effect on Oct. 1, with drivers required to have winter tires on their vehicles if they are travelling on designated highways around the province. Those designated routes include the Coquihalla and the Okanagan Connector. “People may experience sunny and warm conditions when they set out, but run into heavy rain, snow or sleet along the way,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Claire Trevena. “That’s why it’s important to ensure your vehicle is properly equipped with snow tires with the mountain snowflake or mud and snow symbol, along with good solid treads.” In B.C., winter tires are defined as those labelled with either the mountain snowflake symbol or the mud and snow (M+S) symbol. The symbol is located on the sidewall of the tire. Winter tires must be in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 millimetres.

Did you know?

• Drivers who don’t have the proper winter tires on their vehicle on designated routes can receive a fine of $121. • Drivers who don’t have the minimum tread depth on their tires (3.5 millimetres) on the designated routes can receive a fine of $109.

ADVICE & INFORMATION

With Thanksgiving just around the corner there is no better time to talk about being thankful. Often people who are going through a difficult time or who are experiencing health challenges say it is difficult to be thankful or grateful. Experts will tell you that if you do not live a life of gratitude this is exactly when you should adopt this practice. When we find little things to be grateful for, even in the face of adversity, statistics show improvement in our overall mental and physical health. People who regularly practise gratitude have a more positive outlook on life and are more optimistic. Optimistic people are generally happier and more satisfied with their lives. Optimistic people manage and cope with stress or health challenges better. Some psychology experts have found grateful people are less likely to experience physical challenges associated with anxiety and depression including increased blood pressure or the likelihood of a stroke. Gratitude may also benefit those who are on the receiving end of your appreciation. Gratitude offers positive reinforcement that encourages people to continue helping others. Practice gratitude in daily life by saying thank you often. Simply thanking people is becoming a lost art. Look for situations to thank people and then do it. List the things you are thankful for. This is especially helpful if you are feeling discouraged. Make a point to add to the list weekly or better yet, daily. Finding things to be grateful for shows you how meaningful your life really is. Adopt a different perspective so that you learn to appreciate the kindness and little deeds of others. Gratitude not only changes your life, it changes the lives of others as well!

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Trans Canada’s decision to cancel the Energy East pipeline project exposed deep divisions across the political landscape Thursday, highlighting the ever present clash between energy development and environmental protection. The premiers of Alberta and New Brunswick expressed disappointment over the decision, while the Opposition Conservatives blasted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government for “disas trous’’ energy policies they blame for lost jobs and investment. Quebec politicians, along with Indigenous and environmental groups, welcomed the project’s demise, branding it as a har binger of the inevitable death of fossil fuels and a reminder of the need for further green energy development.

The political impli cations for the federal Liberals, who are trying to strike a difficult bal ance between energy and the environment, were mixed. Where charges of environmen tal negligence followed the approvals of the Trans Mountain and Line 3 projects, this time the government was savaged for being soft on jobs and eco nomic growth. The Liberals are defending jobs while protecting the environ ment, Trudeau insisted during question period, but added “the mar ket conditions have changed fundamen tally’’ since the pipeline was proposed, includ ing a steep drop in oil prices. Energy Minister Jim Carr defended the government by citing the green lights for Trans Mountain and Line 3 and insisting the TransCanada decision was a “business deci sion’’ influenced by the state of commodity prices.

Trans Mountain and Line 3 together represent more than $11.6 billion in invest ment that will support “thousands’’ of jobs, Carr said. He rejected the argument that the Liberals’ changes to the regulatory framework played a role. “Our government would have used the same process to evalu ate the Energy East pipeline project,’’ he said. “Nothing has changed in the govern ment’s decisionmaking process.’’ Deputy Conservative Leader Lisa Raitt blamed the decision on Carr’s boss. “Today is the result of the disastrous energy policies promoted by Justin Trudeau and his failure to champion the Canadian energy sec tor,’’ Raitt said. New Liberal regu lations on Canadian energy projects have forced companies to adhere to standards not enforced in other coun tries, giving exporters in Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Algeria a

competitive advantage, she said. “Justin Trudeau claims to support the middle class, but the truth is that the very people that the prime minister is claiming to help are the people most hurt by his mis guided policies,” Raitt said. Carr shrugged off Raitt’s criticism, say ing there are signs of growth in the energy sector despite “market challenges’’ posed by sagging oil prices. “Canada is open for business. We offer a stable and predictable investment climate, worldclass energy reserves, proximity to global markets, a skilled workforce and enabling services and technol ogy,” he said. Supporters say Energy East was necessary to expand Alberta’s markets and decrease its depen dency on shipments to the United States. Detractors raised ques tions about the poten tial environmental impact. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley acknowl edged the decision was driven by a variety of factors, but added the result was bad news not only for her oilrich province, but for the country.

Attack leaves costly wake for uninsured CALGARY — Hudson Mack doesn’t know the cost of his Victoriabased son’s intensive medical care after being shot Sunday at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas, only that he is sure it’s already “catastrophic.’’ Like many who make a short trip to the U.S., Mack’s 21yearold son Sheldon didn’t buy travel health insur ance before crossing the border and is now facing the potential of a staggering medical bill after the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history left him with gunshot wounds that required major surgery. “It’s a lesson to Canadians to not cross the border without coverage,’’ Mack said. Thanks to a patchwork of funds for victims of vio lent crime, however, Mack said at least they might not have to worry about the hospital bills, on top of the emotional toll the family is facing. “Emotionally, it’s been hellish,’’ Mack said. “We didn’t know what we were going to find when we got down here. So this has been terrible for Sheldon, a hor rible thing for him, and a very difficult thing for us.’’ Mack said he’s been told Nevada has a fund for vic tims of violent crime who don’t have insurance, while the FBI’s mass casualty unit may help him get Sheldon home, which he’s hoping will happen as soon as this weekend. The Canadian consulate is also helping, with the potential to tap into a government program that provides financial assistance for Canadians victimized abroad, though the program is capped at $10,000 and doesn’t cover lost wages. Friends have also set up an online crowdfunding page at GoFundMe to help with Sheldon’s recovery, as have friends of several other Canadians injured in the attack. Canadian travel health insurance policies gener ally have at least a million dollars of coverage, said Will McAleer, president of Canada’s Travel Health Insurance Association. Once contacted, insurance companies will contact next of kin, coordinate with doctors and hospitals and manage care and flights home, so it’s important to have insurance, and your insurance card ready. However, Canadians shouldn’t expect much sup port from their provincial coverage, where the daily coverage ranges from between $50 and $400.

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ylan Ferguson was not made available to media following his Kamloops Blazers’ 6-2 loss to the Prince George Cougars at Sandman Centre on Wednesday. Instead, goaltending coach Dan De Palma stood in to answer questions, clearly trying to protect a 19-year-old hockey player whose emotional state is being affected by a poor start to the WHL season. “We don’t always peel the layers as things happen,” De Palma said. “It’s our job now to dig in a little bit deeper to see how he’s doing emotionally and personally. “He’s a character kid and he’s going to be fine.” Kamloops dropped to 0-6 with the defeat, equalling the franchise-worst start it had in 20152016. The B.C. Division-leading Victoria Royals (5-0) will be in town on Friday, with game time set for 7 p.m. Ferguson was pulled in the second period after allowing six goals on 22 shots and replaced by 17-year-old Kamloops product Max Palaga, who stopped all 20 shots that came his way. By no means was the loss all on Ferguson. Kamloops, a young team finding out the hard way what it takes to win, again started slow, was soft around its own net, got into penalty trouble and was outworked by a hungrier Cougars’ team. But Ferguson’s status as the goaltender filling Connor Ingram’s shoes, trying to make the crease his own in the wake of one of the franchise’s all-time greats, means the spotlight is on him, especially given his recently inked NHL contract. Perhaps the whirlwind of going from relatively unknown backup goaltender, to NHL draftee, to Vegas Golden Knights signee, to starting WHL goaltender under

Goaltender Dylan Ferguson and the Kamloops Blazers fell 6-2 to the Prince George Cougars at Sandman Centre on Wednesday. Kamloops is 0-6 and in danger of starting the season with what would be a franchise-worst seven straight losses.

the microscope of a hockey-mad fan base in less than a year is finally catching up to him. Maybe he’s just not seeing the puck well, having the type of slump that has plagued goaltenders since pads have been strapped to legs and pelted with rubber. Whatever the case may be, and fans won’t know exactly what’s going on in his mind until they hear from him, there is nobody who wants Blazers’ goaltending to improve more than Ferguson. Here’s the great thing for the 6-foot-2, 195-pound netminder from Lantzville: He might have the perfect coach in his corner to help him through the early-season morose. De Palma was there when Ingram and the Blazers started the season 0-6 in 2015-2016. The then-18-year-old backstop from Imperial, Sask., had a save per-

centage of .883 after six games. He ended up setting a franchise-record save percentage mark of .922 that season. When Ingram touched down in Kamloops after the most trying, pressure-packed month of his career, looking downtrodden and wishing things had gone better with Team Canada at the 2017 World Junior Hockey Championship, De Palma met him at the airport and counselled him on the ride back to his billet’s house. Ingram went on to break his own Blazers’ save percentage record that season and sign with the Tampa Bay Lightning. In an interview conducted seconds after his final WHL game, Ingram sung his goaltending coach’s praises, speaking to his value in both the mental and technical aspects of the game. The Blazers need their

goalie whisperer now. Ferguson is 0-5 with a save percentage of .828 and a goalsagainst average of 6.54. He took a puck off the chest in the first period on Wednesday and batted it into his own net. Even a casual observer can tell he’s not on his game, but there’s a reason Ferguson was drafted and signed. De Palma is confident Ferguson will find the form that led to his foray up scouts’ rankings last season. “We’ve been through it before and we understand how to get through it,” De Palma said. “Right now, this is on me to help Dylan and battle through what clearly isn’t a good time. We’ll go back to the drawing board and simplify his game.” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said Palaga’s strong effort on Wednesday has left him with a

decision to make on who to start between the pipes on Friday, but he isn’t expecting Ferguson’s funk to last. “He’s the guy to backstop this team. Dan has got a proven history with working with goalies,” Hay said. “Dylan’s got to take a deep breath, go in there and do the things that make him successful. “Danny will get back to work with him and we’ll try to work through it.” EXTRA FRAME: Attendance at Sandman Centre on Wednesday was 3,637 . . . Joel Lakusta, Kody McDonald (2), Aaron Boyd, Nikita Popugaev and Josh Maser scored goals for Prince George . . . Connor Zary, with his first WHL goal, and Nic Holowko scored for Kamloops . . . Cougars’ netminder Tavin Grant, formerly of the junior B Kamloops Storm, stopped 17 shots in victory.

BREAK AND ENTER TO A SHED In the early-morning hours of of Wednesday Sept. 27, a suspect climbed over a fence at the Home Hardware store on Halston Avenue. The suspect then forced open a shed on the property and stole a number of items in boxes. They were of little value, but the suspect threw the boxes over the fence and took all of the boxes. His getaway vehicle was somewhat unique — a bicycle pulling a small trailer. There is no doubt the thief is a local person who uses that mode of transportation all the time. Halston Avenue is busy most of the day and night and someone may have seen this person on the bike with the trailer. Please watch for this person late at night. If he is seen near a commercial building, call the police right away at 250-828-3000. Officers will respond and determine why this person is in the area. If you have any information about this theft or may know who this person is, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). You could receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

THEFT OF FUEL During the last couple of months, diesel and gasoline have been stolen from various locations throughout Kamloops and the surrounding area. There have been a number of reports of fuel being stolen from construction sites and commercial properties and there is no doubt more incidents have taken place, but have not been reported. Some time overnight on Saturday, Sept. 15, a large amount of fuel was taken from a construction site on Hudson’s Ridge Boulevard, above the Summit Connector. A fence was cut and the suspects had full access to a

number of vehicles and fuel tanks. The suspects would have needed a large truck and container to remove all of the fuel, with more than $12,000 worth of the commodity stolen. It is possible this could have been used for personal use, but it is more likely that the fuel was sold. Owners of such sites need to take the time to secure fuel tanks and vehicles so thieves cannot add to their ill-gotten gains. If you have any information about the missing fuel, please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). You will never have to go to court nor give a statement.

DO NOT BECOME VICTIM Thieves have been busy throughout Kamloops, with thefts from vehicles reported in various locations. The suspects broke into the vehicles, taking loose change, sunglasses, gift cards, DVDs, wallets — anything that can be resold. This is another reminder to remove anything of value in your vehicle. Do not become a victim. Such thieves will usually scout an area before the thefts to

see what can be taken. If you see any suspicious vehicles or people, contact the police at 250-828-3000 and they will attend to determine why the people are in the area.

Angie Rose is hard at work growing the armwrestling community in Kamloops.

Rose riding strong arm to string of recent successes SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops arm wrestler Angie Rose is riding high on her recent wins, following a busy summer competing in world championships and a tough head-to-head super match. Back in June, Rose stepped onto the world stage in Las Vegas and took first place for her left arm in the middleweight 129- to 148-pound division, and second place in right arm, in the World Armwrestling League (WAL) 2017 championships. “Oh, that was exciting. That was huge,” she recalled. Rose, 49, was a major competitor in the 1990s, as well, winning the 1994 World Wristwrestling Championships in Petaluma, Calif. She said she took time away from the sport to raise her kids, and also took up barrel racing. In recent years here in the Tournament Capital, she’s been an organizer for the sport and back to competing aggressively. On Sept. 16, she went up against Macy Armstrong in Alabama. Armstrong, a record-holding U.S. powerlifter, was an impressive looking foe to Rose. “She’s about 180 on a light day and she’s a world title holder for the deadlift and bench press. She benches 295 and deadlifts 500,” Rose said. Rose went forward knowing she was risking injury competing outside of her weight class, but pulled over a win in the Alabama super match. In April, she hosted a WAL tourna-

ment here in Kamloops sponsored by its venue, On The Rocks Pub and Grill. “I’ve been wanting to have a tournament since I moved here. One day, I just thought, if I’m going to do it, I’ve got to grab the bull by the horns and get out there and just get something going.” The tournament featured Ron Bath, known as a living legend in the arm wrestling world. Rose invited Bath knowing he’d attract attention, and by her measure, it worked. “I had so many people come out of the woodwork, locally, that I had no idea arm wrestled. It was fantastic. The crowd loved it.” By helping grow the local scene, it also helps Rose stay competitive, although typically she still has to travel to Alberta or the States to find competitors. She runs the Facebook group Kamloops Armwrestling, which helps organize practices and events, and invites anyone interested in the sport to contact her. In terms of her own career, Rose will continue to go wherever she has to in order to defend her title. Under the World Armwrestling League, Rose is ranked No. 1 for her left and No. 6 for her right. With her recent success, Rose is eager for what’s coming next. She has upcoming events planned in Vancouver, Seattle and Florida, competing in the Professional Armwrestling League. “I haven’t looked back. I’m having the time of my life.”

Olynyk talks retirement, legacy at TRU MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ken Olynyk will step down as director of athletics and recreation at Thompson Rivers University in December, leaving a position he has held since 2003. When the school gained university status in 2005, Olynyk began to oversee a major transition in athletics, the task of bringing a host of teams playing in college leagues into the big time — the Canadian Interuniversity Sport ranks, now known as U Sports. Today, the men’s and women’s WolfPack soccer, basketball, volleyball, swim and crosscountry running teams compete in U Sports. “That would be a big part of it, if you say legacy, that I’m leaving behind, is that we are entrenched in U Sports,” said Olynyk, 65. “We’ve proven that we compete at this level and we compete well. “It’s a good time to step away and let someone else direct it and take TRU in a direction that, hopefully, we’ve set a good base for. Hopefully, they concentrate on trying to be the very best that we can be.” Ken and wife Arlene

have three children: eldest daughter Jesse, completing her law degree at TRU, NBA star son Kelly and youngest daughter Maya, who plays basketball for the Saskatchewan Huskies. “We’ve devoted a lot of time to our kids and our work,” Olynyk said. “Some of the time now is going to be devoted to us and continuing to grow as a family.” And, yes, there will be vacations to Miami to watch Kelly play with the Heat. There are aspects of the job Olynyk will likely not miss, such as dealing with fallout from WolfPack baseball brawls and the women’s

volleyball squad posting 37 straight losses, but he said handling those events come part and parcel with the job. What he really won’t miss is balancing budgets and attending thousands of meetings. “The battle, as everyone battles at every university, and especially here, is budgets are always a big concern, and trying to make budgets match what you’re trying to do and trying to compete at the highest level and still have the support financially.” The WolfPack have occasionally achieved U Sports success on the national stage, most notably when the men’s

volleyball team won bronze at the Canadian championship in 2008 and the men’s basketball team advanced to the U Sports Final Four in 2016. Pat Hennelly is head coach of the TRU men’s volleyball team. “Ken did a great job of setting out a budget and plan for success when he first started, centred around encouraging recruiting and giving us a budget to fly kids in and for us to

get out across Canada and spread the word,” Hennelly said. “It’s one of the main reasons we’re more successful than Fraser Valley, UBC Okanagan and UNBC, the smaller schools like Lethbridge that came in [to U Sports] around the same time as us. We’ve managed to get to nationals and medal and be more competitive in a lot of sports. That’s a testament to Ken and his vision.” Hennelly and the rest of the TRU coaches will be interested (to say the least) to find out who will replace Olynyk. “I’m excited and nervous because I have a high comfort level with Ken,” Hennelly said. “Money is always an issue. Any new ideas with that are welcome. As a coach, I like to coach. We’re forced to fundraise and do other things.” TRU’s vice-president of administration and finance, Matt Milovick, is expected to lead the selection process. “Ken is a pillar of this university,” Milovick said. “He’s larger than

life. He’s been instrumental in taking the WolfPack to a new level. “We can compete nationally because of his mentorship.” Peter Soberlak, a faculty member at TRU and well-known Kamloops athlete and sports consultant, has confirmed his interest in the job. Curtis Atkinson, associate director of sport for Canada West, told KTW the job opening has piqued his interest. “I know both of those gentlemen,” Milovick said, noting he wouldn’t be surprised to see 30 or 40 applications. “If they throw their application in, good for them. “It’s going to be fierce a competition.” KTW will have more on the candidates on Tuesday. The outgoing athletic director, who has offered to play a role in the transition, said he has very few regrets. “Our membership in Canada West took awhile,” Olynyk said, noting he wanted to oversee the U Sports national men’s soccer championship in

November before leaving. “There were some other things we could have done better. “You always think you can do more, but at the same time, and I tell people all the time, you have to smell the roses along the way and appreciate the things you have accomplished — scholarships, helping fundraising, helping teams be better. “The program has come a long way. I don’t think it’s where it can be, but it’s on its way.” Olynyk, who plans to rekindle his love of skiing when he retires, said he will miss most the camaraderie of working with student-athletes, WolfPack coaches, TRU staff and executives in Canada West and U Sports. “That’s who we do this for, the studentathletes, for them to become better and leave as great contributors to sport, to our society and to the city,” Olynyk said. “That’s what makes me happiest and what I’m going to miss the most, seeing the smiling faces when I come to work.”

Extremism creates fear, which in turn gives rise to racial intolerance, leaving Canadians angry and confused. The religion of Islam is at the very core of this controversy today. We as Canadians deserve a clear look at what this religion has to say about the conditions at hand.

Boeser, Virtanen in lineup Newton’s comments JOSHUA CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Brock Boeser spent some nervous days in his hotel room, wondering if he had done enough in training camp and pre-season to stick with the Vancouver Canucks. Jake Virtanen only realized he made the team after seeing the hockey bag of the player he was battling for a spot packed and ready to be shipped off to the minors. Boeser, 20, and Virtanen, 21, are both on the rebuilding Canucks’ opening night roster, but it’s only the

first step in what the young wingers hope will be long a journey. “Just because I made the team doesn’t mean I’m going to stay here,’’ said Boeser. “I’ve got to keep coming to practice and working my hardest and making the most of my opportunities during games.’’ “This is where the real work begins,’’ added Virtanen. “It gets harder from here. You’ve really got to show what you have to bring to the table.” Hometown Vancouver will open its season against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. Game time is 7 p.m.

Strasburg to pitch tonight THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — Stephen Strasburg will start Game 1 of the NL Division Series for the Washington Nationals against the Chicago Cubs on Friday night. Manager Dusty Baker named Strasburg his Game 1 starter before his team’s workout Thursday. He says the Nationals haven’t decided about Games 2 or 3. Baker says the decision hinges on the status of ace Max Scherzer, who

has been dealing with a hamstring injury. Scherzer threw on flat ground in the outfield for almost 15 minutes Wednesday and Baker says the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner is set to throw a bullpen session later in the day. Baker knows that going with Scherzer in Game 2 would allow him to come back for a potential Game 5 on full rest but says “the health of Max is No. 1.’’ Left-hander Gio Gonzalez is the other logical choice for Game 2.

insulting to women MAIJA KAPPLER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Women who cover sports no longer have to contend with the overt hostility they faced some 40 years ago, but a condescending comment this week by an NFL quarterback to a female reporter is a sign that sexism is still a problem in the industry, says a Concordia University journalism professor who broke the gender barrier in the 1970s. Linda Kay, who was the first female sports reporter at the San Diego Evening Tribune, says conditions have improved significantly for women in sports media since she cut her teeth, which is why she was surprised to hear Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers mock a female reporter when she asked a question about the routes taken by receiver Devin Funchess. “It’s funny to hear a female talk about . . . routes,’’ Newton said during a news conference Wednesday. “It’s funny.’’ Reporter Jourdan Rodrigue

said in a statement she was “dismayed by his response, which not only belittled me but countless other women before me and beside me who work in similar jobs.’’ “It’s always one step forward, two steps back,’’ Kay said in a phone interview Thursday. “I started in the late 70s, early 80s, and that’s the kind of reaction I got then.’’ Kay said the culture of sports reporting can be less welcoming to women than other fields. “When I was a general assignment reporter, I was very well accepted by everyone in the newsroom,’’ she said. “But when I went into sports, there were men who would not speak to me.’’ She recalled the paper’s sports department as a hostile and antagonistic environment where she had little or no support from her colleagues. “The first few years when women entered the field . . . it was almost a sabotage situation,’’ she said. “They didn’t want you to succeed.’’ In the 1980s, Kay moved to

the Chicago Tribune, where she was also the first woman in the newsroom to cover sports. Her colleagues there were much more supportive, she said, but that attitude didn’t always extend to the athletes she covered. Jane O’Hara, who became the first female sports editor at major Canadian daily when she took the helm at the Ottawa Sun, said she was encouraged by the fact that no one laughed along with Newton at Wednesday’s news conference. “(Newton’s) sly little comment was meant to demean Jourdan, as though the word, the concept, the understanding of ‘routes’ was so far above her, so above what women could possibly understand it was amusing to him,’’ O’Hara said via email. “What a fool.’’ Mike O’Shea, head coach of the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers, called Newton’s comments “baffling.’’ “Obviously, we don’t agree with his comments,’’ he said. “There’s no place for that in sport anymore.’’

Obituaries & In Memoriam Carmela Comazzetto With much sadness we announce the passing of Carmela on Monday, October 2, 2017 at the age of 88. Carmela was born on October 27, 1928 in Caerano S. Marco, Italy. She came to Canada in 1960 with her son to join her husband. For many years she worked as a cook in several Kamloops restaurants including Harold’s and The Versatile Truck Centre. She was a member of the Little Flower Society and her faith meant a great deal to her. She loved to cook and bake for her family of which she made the greatest risotto and buns. Gardening and tending to her flowers gave her much joy. She also was an avid Blazers fan. She is survived by her son Mario (Denise) and grandchildren Ryan (Michelle) and Stacy (Trevor), her great-grandchildren Juliet, Leo, Lia and Lexi who gave her so much happiness. Also to cherish her memory are her siblings Ermelinda and Giovanni (Rita) of Italy, Maria of India, sisters-in-law Antoinetta and Amelia and brother-in-law Ciro. She was predeceased by her husband Gino, brothers Giuseppe, Graziano and Luigi and sisters Matilde, Gina and Giuzepina and numerous loved nieces and nephews. Thanks to the staff of Kamloops Seniors Village and Gemstone Care Centre for their care of Carmela over the past year and a half, especially Dr. Wynne for his kindness and compassion. Prayers will be recited in Sacred Heart Cathedral on Friday, October 6, 2017 at 7:00 pm, followed by the Funeral Mass on Saturday, October 7, 2017 at 11:00 am. For those who wish, a donation to the RIH Foundation or the BC Alzheimer’s Association in Carmela’s memory would be most appreciated.

Stanley Allen Woodburn It is with broken hearts we regretfully announce the passing of Stanley Allen Woodburn on September 30, 2017 at the age of 81 after a battle for several years with a lung disease. Stan will be forever missed and lovingly remembered by his family, daughter Lorraine (Roger) Luce, daughter Tracy (Laurie) Friesen, son Patrick (Tanya) Woodburn, grandchildren Allison (Tim) Rutley, Koren (Steve) Rutley, Nicole (Josh) Friesen, James (Liss) Friesen, Shannara Woodburn, Louie (Melissa) Luce, Derek (Evelyn) Luce and numerous great-grandchildren which he enjoyed spending time with when he could and watching them grow into the amazing people they are. He is survived by his brother Doug (Gladys) Woodburn, his ex-wife Joyce (Sisson) who continued to be his friend until the end, as well as many nieces and nephews. He will also be missed by and remembered by many close friends who also became his extended family. He is predeceased by his wife Audrey Irene Woodburn, his mother and father Alfred and Nora Woodburn and other members of his extended family. Stan started his life in Vancouver, BC where he was raised until such time his family moved to the interior and settled in Cache Creek. There he worked on the dairy farm, until his family started running the Shell station in Cache Creek and he worked there until such time he decided to join the Navy. He spent a few years in the Navy until he decided to get out in 1960. He then worked as an electrician, did various other jobs until he finally settled on his career as an automotive mechanic in 1970 all the while, raising his family. He later divorced and remarried his second wife (Irene) and settled in Ellensburg where he became the step-father to her children and spent time enjoying many grandchildren there as well. While there one of his most precious enjoyments was the time spent

with their many Dachshunds and his rose beds. He moved back to Canada in the mid’90s, where he lived with his wife until her passing in 2005 in 100 Mile. He then moved down to the Chase area where he spent several years, until he was forced to move to the Kamloops area due to health reasons. Stan was not only an amazing father, grandfather, great-grandfather but he was a great mechanic and was always willing to help someone when they had car troubles. He rebuilt an old Ford pickup with his son Pat, as well as a Chev with his grandson James. Memories they will cherish forever. He loved his Antiques, Christmas baking, gardening (especially his roses and flower beds) and his Dachshunds. Many of us have great memories of hunting with him and can laugh today knowing that he was the only person we know who still had buck fever after all his years striving for the big one, his moose had to be in a swamp and then came the call out to whoever could help him get it out. We Love You DAD!!! and even though we are all sad today we know that you are in a better place and spending time with CHACHA…… A Celebration of Life will be held at Ridgepoint on Primrose Court, Kamloops, BC on Saturday, October 7, 2017 at 1:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Lung Association or a charity of your choice. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

Q. Does Murray need to be embalmed?

It’s been a year but it only seems like yesterday. The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, One side filled with the heartache, the other died with you. I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is a heartache that never goes away.

Sadly missed by Mom and Family

There will be a Celebration of Life for Douglas Wilson on Saturday, October 7, 2017 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Thompson Rivers University, Campus Activity Center, Mountain Room. !

FAITH

Christian — heal thyself

esus commanded his followers to “make disciples” (Matt. 28:19, NRSV throughout). However, most Christians are not good at this and many live their entire lives without ever leading anyone to conversion. How, then, can Christians ever hope to fill their churches? I have the answer: start healing people. Does that sound unreasonable? Why should it? Scripture claims God heals “all” our diseases (Exod. 15:26; Pss. 41:3; 103:3). It says Jesus went around “curing every disease” and predicted “the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these” (Matt: 4:23; John 14:12). Moreover, Jesus specifically commanded his followers to “cure the sick” and even “raise the dead” (Matt. 10:8). He said, “everyone who asks receives” and repeatedly promised “anything” we might ask for would be granted (Matt. 7:8; 18:19; John 14:13-14; 16:23-24). Does anyone actually believe any of these

MICHAEL FENEMORE

You Gotta Have

FAITH

unequivocal guarantees? The Bible claims believers were being added in “great numbers” because when the sick came for healing, “they were all cured” (Acts 5:1416). The biblical solution is guaranteed. Conversions will explode when you start healing people. According to Paul, some Christians should be endowed with “gifts of healing” (1 Cor. 12:9). So, where are they? James said, “the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up” and “pray for one another, so that you may be healed” (Jas. 5:15-16). Christians constantly pray for the sick, but sadly, the results are abysmal. I have never heard

of anyone receiving a healing anything like the dramatic instantaneous miracles described in the Bible, at least, not one I could verify. Occasionally, somebody will experience an unexpected remission and immediately a chorus of “Praise the Lord!” arises. However, the same infrequent unexplainable reversals occur among those for whom nobody prayed. Notwithstanding such realities, the ability of Christians to put a positive spin on just about anything is truly breathtaking. Recently, a local prayer group was praying for an unfortunate lady in danger of losing her left calf, a battle she ultimately lost. Amazingly, the subsequent group email message actually claimed a victory, encouraging members to “praise God that all went well with her amputation.” An amputation represents the utter failure of every last promise of healing in the Bible. However, Christians blinded by mind-boggling denial are incapable of recognizing such an inconvenient truth. In terms of healing,

Christianity has proved itself completely impotent. It’s no wonder people are not attracted to churches. Why waste your time sitting in church every week if all you’re going to get is the same misery everyone else suffers? You may as well sleep in on Sunday mornings. A Christian might respond, “Ah, but we have salvation!” Really? Why would any rational person believe the Bible’s promise of salvation when its promises of healing appear to mean absolutely nothing? Clearly, Christianity is a man-made religion. It promises miracles, but can’t deliver. Ditto Judaism. The author of Genesis predicted Abraham’s descendants would become a blessed nation whose enemies would be cursed. (See Gen. 12:2-3.) The reality is the “chosen people” have been slaughtered by their ene-

downright cruel for Christians to be teasing unfortunate disease victims with false hopes of dramatic recoveries. I suffer from my own painful chronic condition and was recently forced to retire. I would love to meet a Christian with a gift of healing. If I were to experience an undeniable miracle, I would be delighted to submit the story for publication in this column. If eating my words is the price of relief, I’ll take it. However, I’m not getting my hopes up, nor do I expect to hear about “great numbers” of new

mies as much or more than any other people. They have been horribly persecuted and forcibly ejected from numerous countries over the last three millennia. Then there’s the “elephant in the room.” Dare I ask: where was God during the Holocaust? Like deceptive media ads, numerous Bible passages promise phenomenal results that never materialize. To hold out the possibility of a supernatural healing is clearly misleading, considering the lack of empirical evidence for such miracles. Frankly, I think it’s

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

Doing Life Together!

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.

Happy

You could choose a daily, personal prayer schedule for the 40 Days; if so please pray for: ~ an end to abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide ~ wisdom for the federal government in dealing positively with life issues. ~ pregnant women (and their family members) in distress ~ unborn babies under threat of abortion ~ those who are vulnerable due to their disabilities, aging, illnesses ~ conscience rights for all medical personnel Or, consider organizing a prayer vigil within your church community. For more information, guidelines and prayer-helps, phone 778-220-5584. Or, if you wish, Sacred Heart Cathedral will be open for prayer starting September 27 until November 5, 3 – 6 pm.

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!

WCT EXPLORES MILLION DOLLAR MOMENT IN MUSIC HISTORY DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

raig Waye loves Million Dollar Quartet in its entirety, but there’s one moment that truly resonates with him. The play, which opens on Saturday, Oct. 14 at Sagebrush Theatre, is the story of that one moment in time when musical legends Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis were together in Sun Records studio for a recording session. Waye, the play’s music director, said he is truly touched when the iconic quartet sings Peace in the Valley. He’s loathe to reveal what leads to them singing the gospel song, but acknowledges when the play has been performed in the past and that scene arrives, “you can hear a pin drop.” The New Brunswickborn musician and actor knows the play well. He’s acted in it and played the music. As a bassist, early in an 11-week run, his hands had blood blisters and calluses from slapping and picking on the strings and bass body to recreate that rockabilly sound. Krazy Glue and time healed the hands; nothing plastered over his love of the music. The play is a natural fit for Waye, who grew up in Miramichi with a mom who loved Presley and a dad who

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Rehearsing a scene from the Western Canada Theatre production of Million Dollar Quartet is Elliot Loran as Jerry Lee Lewis (left), bass player Alexander Ward as Brother Jay, Kris Ruston as Fluke, Edward Murphy as Carl Perkins, Matt Cage as Elvis Presley and Maxwell Theodore Lebeuf as Johnny Cash (not pictured).

loved Cash. Everyone loved The Beatles and all that music was the soundtrack to his early years. It led to Waye learning the bass, guitar, drums and many folk instruments well. He plays piano and keyboard to a level he describes as passable and can sing. Add in a move to Toronto to study acting and his career path was set. Waye acted in the Western Canada Theatre production of Ring of Fire earlier this year, but has also been involved in a long list of plays

driven as much by story as by music, including The Buddy Holly Story, The Wedding Singer, Twist and Shout and Forever Plaid. While the difference may be minor, Waye said Million Dollar Quartet is unique from a production like Mamma Mia because the music’s role is not to happen “when speaking is not enough anymore.” He said it doesn’t rely on actors bursting into song. “It’s more about being with each other as colleagues and as

rivals on the stage,” he said, brought together on Dec. 4, 1956, in what became a jam session. Perkins was supposed to be recording his next record. Sam Phillips, who owned Sun Records, brought in the then-unknown Lewis to play the Wurlitzer Spinet for the session. Cash went to listen to the session and Presley was also in the house at the time. The main characters are all debuting with WCT. Julien Arnold has the role of Phillips, a record producer credited for launching

Presley’s career and fuelling the development of rock and roll. Matt Cage takes on Presley ; he has recreated The King often, including as the featured Elvis performer in Las Vegas recently at a tribute to the singer/ actor. Maxwell Theodore Lebeuf is Cash, a role he has performed in the past year. He’s also been Will in Oklahoma and Roger in RENT. Elliott Loran is Lewis. Born in Victoria, his resume includes most major theatres in the country, including Stratford Festival,

The Citadel, the Arts Club and Theatre Passe Muraille. He won the Toronto Theatre Critics and BroadwayWorld Toronto awards for his performers as Rick in Ride the Cyclone. Edward Murphy is Perkins. A Torontobased singer-songwriter, he has also scored films and won the Western Idol competition in 2007 in Ontario. Added to the mix for this run are local musicians Kris Ruston and Alexander Ward, who play respectively Fluke and Brother Jay. They make up

the rhythm section for the music. Waye said bringing new musicians in “makes things equally difficult and easy.” He said the four with so many performances together under their belts have a wealth of knowledge and familiarity with the material, while the new musicians tend to bring their own ideas into the mix. As for Ruston and Ward, he said “they are really knocking it out of the park.” Rounding out the cast is Meaghan Chenosky as Dyanne, playing Presley’s girlfriend. She’s from London, Ont., studied acting at the University of British Columbia and won a Jessie Richardson Award for best supporting actress for her role as Dottie in Killer Joe. The play opens for previews on Thursday, Oct. 12 and Friday, Oct. 13, with the grand opening on Oct. 14. That evening there will be a reception in the lobby after the play. On Wednesday, Oct. 18, WCT artistic director James MacDonald will be at Sagebrush Theatre at 6:30 p.m. for a question and answer session on the play, which he is directing. Cast members will remain after the play to also talk with audience members. It continues to Oct. 21. Tickets are at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or kamloopslive.ca.

SAMPLE THE MUSIC AT KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM.

va Wild makes a crown for every show. The Regina musician gives them away and asks women to make their own unique headware. The idea stems from the 18-year-old singer songwriter’s song Queen, which was inspired by the beauty of women and all of the “different things that we do.” “I created this project reflecting on groups of women in my life,” she said. “It displays this beauty of women . . . I can express my fantasy or actuality of being a queen because they support me.” Wild said she is a queen when she eats an entire cake,

“and that’s fine.” She said she is a queen without makeup — and with it — and when she performs on stage. “It’s empowerment for the things that you do,” she said. Wild will wear her crown — whatever it may be on that particular day — when she comes to Kamloops for a show at The Art We Are on Oct. 21. The young musician first picked up a guitar to accompany her unique voice and began performing at age 14. The naturally shy teenager said music has pushed her outside of her comfort zone, teaching her to talk to strangers and gain confidence playing at bars — which, she

said, as a young female “can be kind of intimidating.” She has used her youth to stand on the shoulders of giants, finding guidance from established musicians and learning how to promote herself and book gigs. “Figuring out how much do you charge your music for, all those things,” Wild said. After releasing her first album at age 16 with funding from Creative Saskatchewan, Wild said she is in the process of finding funding for her next project. She has many songs already from which to choose and is aiming for a 2019 release. — Jessica Wallace, KTW

DANCE GROUP IN THE SWING OF THINGS

KSO opens Lindy hop dancers host October workshop, aims to expand reach in city chamber ON THE D-FLOOR series JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen Justin Mufford went to Grande Prairie a couple of summers ago, he stumbled on a swing dance community. It was there he learned the lindy hop, a style of swing dancing borne in Harlem, New York circa the late 1920s, early 1930s. Mufford especially appreciated the culture of the dance, which was started by African Americans, but also how partners connect and how easy it is to catch onto the steps. “I fell in love with it right away,” Mufford told KTW. When he moved back to Kamloops, however, Mufford was disappointed to learn there was no such community in the River City. He noted an international push to make the dance popular again after it fizzled out with the Second World War and emergence of rock and roll. These days, Seoul, Korea apparently has a vibrant lindy hop scene and Mufford dreamt of Saturday nights on the dance floor. “I really wanted that to be a big thing in Kamloops,” he said. Upon finding an old TRUSU Swing Dance club Facebook page, that had been operated by students who had since left the school, Mufford resurrected the club. He became the president, teaching

lindy hop and growing a community of dancers that regularly takes over Akimbo Dance Studio in downtown Kamloops. “There were no teachers who could teach it,” Mufford said. “We

kind of started from scratch.” A couple years later, 30 to 40 dancers meet for twice monthly social dances and 10 and 15 people turn up for beginner, intermediate and intermediate-plus level lessons, which

run for nine weeks in fall, spring and winter months. The community has doubled each year since it began. As Mufford fosters a swing dance community, he plans to move it permanently off-campus in November. He said he is shutting down the club to open a non-profit society because the university affiliation sometimes discourages people from taking part, despite the events being open to everyone. “It’s [non-profit society] more inclusive to the wider community of Kamloops,” Mufford said. That official transition will come after a lindy hop workshop in October. Cool Autumn Swing is from Oct. 20 to Oct. 22, described as “fun and engaging” for new and experienced dancers. It includes workshops, history sessions, social dances and a catered dinner party. Registration is available for dropin or the whole weekend.

his week, we’re looking at Marvel’s recent relaunch of the X-men franchise in the trade paperback X-men Gold Volume 1, Back to Basics. It is a well-chosen title, as Marvel’s X-men franchise has been juggled and rebooted numerous times with varying successes for nearly as long as Fox has been making X-men movies. This new book features familiar X-men characters with their classic struggle in the Marvel universe — outcast heroes trying to make the world a safer place for humans and mutants alike, while working through their own personal relationships. This is about as back to basics as you can get for the X-men. The story follows events unfolded after the Death of X and Inhumans vs. X-men miniseries, a pair of stories that focused on twin Terrigen gas clouds floating around Earth. Exposure to these fictional clouds would develop the latent inhu-

man gene in a normal person if it were present, but was deadly to any mutant who bears the X gene. This led to conflict between the Inhumans and the X-men, generating heavy public fear and property damage in the story. The newly reformed X-men cast led by Kitty Pryde includes Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Wolverine (Old Man Logan version) and Prestige (Rachel Grey). The team’s first conflict is with the alien Terrax. After defeating him, the X-men learn they have a long road ahead of them rebuilding a reputation and trust

with the public. A politician named Lydia Nance is a mutant racist and stirs the old anti-mutant agenda. To make matters worse, a newly formed Brotherhood of Evil Mutants attacks the United Nations building, kidnaps the mayor and threatens to execute him. The second half of the book revolves around the mutant thief Gambit, who is hired to acquire a mysterious vial from a technology company. It turns out Gambit has stolen highly advanced nanites, miniature evolving and selfrepairing machines. After Gambit learns his employer is Olivia Trask, he makes the

worst possible error in trying to destroy the technology. The Trask family is responsible for creating the artificially intelligent mutant hunting robots called Sentinels. Gambit’s attempt to destroy the nanites releases them into a computer network loaded with Sentinel A.I. software, inadvertently creating a new form of Sentinel that is a cloud of nanite machines. Reaching out to the X-men, they have to work fast to find a way to stop this new threat. It has evolved and is hunting mutants and humans alike. A great start to this new but classic take on the X-men, it’s definitely been too long since we have seen the team having fun playing baseball.

Serge Mazerand is a B.C. pianist and author who is bringing his Playing by Heart and Beyond show to Kamloops on Oct. 22. He is performing at St. Andrew’s on the Square.

Book, concert promote healing through music The premise is we are “made of music.”

erge Mazerand began playing piano at a young age, but quit as a teenager, when his ego and hormones took over, he said. The Frenchman pictured himself dating beautiful women, travelling to exotic places and becoming a businessman, which he went on to do for more than 30 years. He did that until he had enough — quitting his job, the fancy perfumes and exotic travel and immigrating to Canada. “Although I had a lot of fun, almost anything a man could wish for, I was hollow,” the author and pianist told KTW from his home in Smithers. Upon moving to Canada, he opened a floating salmon fishing resort before realizing he had plunged himself into the same lifestyle he had fled, one in which he frequently entertained guests, drank too much and was often stressed. So he quit all that, too, and moved into a log house on the river in Smithers, a place where he returned to the piano, decades later. “After a hiatus of

more than 30 years, really,” Mazerand said. The music he began playing was not the classical style he studied as a youngster — this was different. It was stream of consciousness, simple melodies that calmed him down, brought forward his emotions — even bringing him to tears — and helped him realize the healing powers of music. “I started a process of healing,” Mazerand said. That recognition led to multiple CDs and wanting to share his a-ha moment with the world, so the pianist wrote — jotting down notes and forming ideas that seemed to snowball. The result is Mazerand’s first book, 7 Keys to Serenity. “This book really demanded to come out,” he said. One idea outlined in the book uses the musical alphabet. For example, the key of A stands for aware-

ness, while C is for creativity, D is discipline and E is energy. “When we play those [keys] in synergy together, they will allow us to produce a great internal melody or symphony,” Mazerand said. He called the book a “musical metaphor” that “applies to ourself so neatly.” “The premise is we are made of music,” he said. Mazerand is coming to Kamloops to play and offer an opportunity for healing. He said the concert, dubbed Playing by Heart and Beyond, is a catalyst for anyone who needs to reconnect with themselves. He noted, however, music is simply one stage of any healing process. “Most people who have issues need to go much further than that,” Mazerand said. When Mazerand performs at St. Andrew’s on the Square on Saturday, Oct. 21, the piano will be set up in the middle of the room instead of on a stage, with Mazerand surrounded by the

audience. The concert is a fundraiser for the Red Cross, but the amount to be donated will depend on how many people attend, with initial money going to cover costs of putting on the show. If it sells out, Mazerand said 50 per cent of the proceeds will go to the organization that supports emergency relief efforts. “If we only have 20 people, there’s not much I can do,” he said. Tickets can be purchased for $20 online at eventbrite.ca/e/ playing-by-heartbeyond-healing-pianoconcert-in-kamloopstickets-36801887436. Mazerand is hosting a book signing at Chapters on Sunday, Oct. 22, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 7 Keys to Serenity is available there and also online at amazon.ca. Mazerand will also be participating in the Interior Wellness Festival. For more information, go online to keystoserenity.com/ book.

Trying to take in all Armenia has to offer IRENE BUTLER

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

epublic Square has a beauty that touches one’s soul. The hues of serene pink to soft orange of 19th century edifices in locally-mined stone called tuff take on a different persona with the rising sun, in mid-day’s bold light, and during evening shadows. This square is my spectacular debut to Yerevan, Armenia’s capital, which rests in a valley with the Hrazdan River winding through it. But, more city sites are on hold as Mount Ararat beckons, the traditional landing place of Noah’s Ark after the Biblical flood. A taxi takes us 30 kilometres south of Yerevan where we summon stamina to climb the steps to the seventh century Khor Virap Monastery. From this viewpoint, our eyes affix on the 5,137-metre snowcapped Mount Ararat across the Turkish border. Once located in Armenia, this Biblical mount came under Turkish control during the 1920 Turkish-Armenian War. Expeditions for ark relics have gone on for centuries and, although discoveries of petrified wood have not been validated as arc remnants, it is surreal to gaze upon this legendary mountain. Back in Yerevan, a must see is the State Museum of Armenian History. The prized artifact is a 5,500-year-old shoe — the oldest leather shoe in the world. Found in a cave in 2008, the exceptional preservation was due to the drygrass-stuffed shoes being encased in layers of sheep dung. I envision the wearer tightening the leather laces crossing on top of this moccasin-type shoe, and stepping out for some purpose during the Copper Age. Other show-stoppers are

Bronze Age chariots and wagons discovered when the water level of the country’s Lake Sevan was reduced, revealing an extensive cemetery. The largest chariot has solid oak wheels, and flexible branches forming a semicircular roof. My love of archeology is well satiated. “This could only be a Fernando Botero,” I exclaim as we near the cheerful fat cat sculpture — and it is. More of this Colombian’s work, along with works of other internationally and locally renowned sculptors dot gardens fronting the Cafesjian Center for the Arts. I relate to the complex also going by The Cascades as we climb the 572 outer steps of the museum structure. The steps are interspersed by platform levels with fountains and more impressive sculptures, and from which

we access the inner contemporary art collection. Our next site is the 23-metrehigh statue of Mother Armenia, a massive sword held defensively in front of her. She replaced a Stalin statue in 1967, yet her plaza home appears Soviet-classic with old tanks and aircraft. “Are we still in Armenia?” I ask Miriam, our guide, at the sight of Greco-Roman colonnades of Garni Temple, our first stop on a day-trip. We are. As we climb the steps to the temple’s inner sanctum, Miriam explains, “Garni was dedicated to the pagan sun god during Hellenistic times. Later it became a summer home for the country’s royalty, until destroyed in a 1679 earthquake. Reconstruction took place mid-20th century.” We next arrive at the canyon setting of Geghard Monastery.

My heart thumps in the shadowy cave church where pilgrims fill vessels with holy water from the same spring as Gregory the Illuminator when he founded the monastery in the 4th century. Some churches within the complex are entirely dug into the cliff rocks, from small sizes to large elaborate structures. The main free-standing church was built in 1215. On the monastery grounds tantalizing scents waft from tables where ladies sell baked goods side-by-side with religious items. “My husband would never forgive me if I left without gata,” Miriam chuckles while purchasing two helpings of Armenian sweet bread with walnut filling. To our delight, on the drive back to Yerevan, she divvies up one for us.

Another day a taxi transports us to freshwater and fish-rich Lake Sevan, perched 1,900 metres above sea level. The town of Sevan bustles with activity as we make our way past souvenir stalls and up the long flight of steps to a monastery with a panoramic view of the deepblue lake. On the way down a seller cleverly holds up a moonstone necklace so it picks up the light just right – so, of course, it comes away with me. Each evening, before settling into our cozy hotel room, we make our way back to Republic Square to join the flood of people perched on ledges and benches around the lit-up fountains. Our visit to Armenia was a whirlwind of historical, cultural riches and friendly locals — all now tucked in memories.
