The
A3
Gangster killed in Richmond was at scene of Shirzad murder in Kamloops Ibrahim Ibrahim, found dead on Tuesday, was one of two men with Red Scorpions founder Konaam Shirzad when he was gunned down last month outside his home TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A gangster murdered in the Lower Mainland this week was one of two men walking alongside one of the founders of a notoriously violent B.C. drug gang when he was gunned down outside his Kamloops home three weeks ago, KTW has learned. Ibrahim Amjad Ibrahim, 30, was found shot to death in Richmond’s Garden City Park early Tuesday morning. Police have confirmed Ibrahim was with Konaam Shirzad when the 34-year-old was ambushed and shot to death in Kamloops last month. Another associate who was with Shirzad and Ibrahim suffered a gunshot wound to the ankle and was treated at Royal Inland Hospital. Shirzad, who owned the Heavy Metal Gym in Kamloops, was one of three founders of the Red Scorpions, the gang behind the 2007 Surrey Six slayings. Police have identified Ibrahim as a gang associate. He was one of five men identified by Mounties in July as part of a warning to the public. At the time, investigators warned citizens to stay away from the men because they had been targeted in shootings. Kamloops RCMP continue to investigate Shirzad’s murder. He was gunned down outside his Hudson’s Bay Trail home in the Guerin Creek subdivision just before 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 21. Investigators have released clips of surveillance video showing two men approaching Shirzad’s home and then fleeing about 15 minutes later in a stolen Honda Civic, which was later found burning on a residential cul de sac in Sahali.
KTW FILE PHOTO
The body of Konaam Shirzad, one of the founders of the Red Scorpions drug gang, was wheeled away from the crime scene outside his Guerin Creek home after he was ambushed and shot to death on Sept. 21. Ibrahim Ibrahim, one of two people with Shirzad when he was shot, was gunned down in Richmond this week. His body was found on Tuesday. The other person with Shirzad and Ibrahim, who has not been identified publicly, was shot in the ankle.
Two witnesses told KTW they heard a number of gunshots followed by a man screaming, “No! No! No!” Another neighbour said he was IBRAHIM approached by a police officer the morning of the murder and asked about a BMW, believed to belong to Shirzad, parked across the street. The Red Scorpions gang was founded in the early-2000s by Shirzad, Michael Le and Matthew Johnston. Le served three years in prison
GHOST TRAIN
after pleading guilty to conspiracy charges for his role in the Surrey Six slayings. The 32-yearold plotted the hit of a rival SHIRZAD drug dealer that turned into the deadliest gangland massacre in B.C. history, with two innocent passerbys executed along with four gang members in a highrise condo unit. Prosecutors dropped a charge of first-degree murder in exchange for Le’s plea. Court heard Le and Jamie Bacon plot-

ted the slaying after Cory Lal, a rival drug dealer, refused to pay a $100,000 tax to the Red Scorpions. Johnston is serving a life sentence for first-degree murder after he was convicted in 2014 for his role in the Surrey Six plot, while Bacon’s charges of murder and conspiracy remain before the courts. Shirzad had a lengthy criminal record himself. In 2005, he was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison after ordering a hit from behind bars. He had also served time for attempted murder and various weapons offences.

Christian brings experience, basketball metaphors to office ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
W
hen Ken Christian first entered local politics, election nights were slower. In place of electronic results that can be tabulated and displayed at City Hall in less than an hour, there was AM radio and, at the Christian home, a big chalkboard on which the candidate and his friends and family crunched their own numbers. “Those were the elections where we didn’t really know if he was going to get in or not, because he was so new to being a politician,” said daughter Taryn Christian, 23, who grew up with election night as a family tradition. “It’s so different now because it happens so fast.” To city hall watchers who may know him best as a selfproclaimed lover of municipal infrastructure — “I am water and sewer guy,” his campaign website states proudly — the image of the city’s newest mayor doing math on a home blackboard isn’t far-fetched. But family and colleagues suggest there’s a more whimsical side to Christian as well. “He’s probably a little more easygoing and carefree than people might see with that kind of health inspector, scientific mind persona,” said former mayor, now Liberal MLA, Peter Milobar. “I think he’ll be a good fit with the mayor’s chair, with the vibe of Kamloops.” Taryn said her friends don’t see that disciplined, structured side. The youngest of three children said her dad is better known for his love of making up lyrics to Top 40 songs and creating rhymes. “All my friends have nicknames and he just sort of rhymes,” Taryn said. “He walks into the house and starts rhyming.” Raised on a farm in Winfield, now known as Lake Country, Christian graduated from BCIT with an environmental health diploma in 1974 and headed to the Ashcroft area as a health inspector, before a departmental vacancy brought him to Kamloops in 1977. The city was originally meant to be a stop on the way to bigger and better things, but Christian said he quickly fell in love with what it had to offer — and meeting his wife of 31 years, Brenda, who worked in administration for what was then the South Central Health Unit didn’t hurt. “It’s the people that are here
I think he’ll be a good fit “with the mayor’s chair, with the vibe of Kamloops. ”

and the people that I was working with in the public health unit, and the nurses and other health officers and some of the friendships you make, and the fact that it was affordable — I was able to buy a house,” he said. “It worked out really good.” In the 1990s, a school trustee who worked with Christian advised him she was stepping down from the board and encouraged him to take a shot at running, as his eldest son Nic (now 29) was about to enter the school system. In 1993, he campaigned in and won his first election, and would spend 18 years on the School District 73 board, a number of those as chair. “He’s a very good bureaucrat — that sounds negative, but he’s a very good process person,” said trustee Denise Harper, who served with Christian from 1993 to 2002 and again in his final trustee term in 2008. “Ken had a wicked sense of humour and I certainly enjoyed that. He’s such a level guy, not prone to outbursts, quite thoughtful and he was quite focused on the good governance of the school district.” That’s not to say things always ran smoothly. In her final term before leaving in 2002, Harper said several board members proved a challenge for fellow trustees and could be combative to whoever was in the leader’s seat. “Once, he set down his gavel, picked up his briefcase and walked to the other end of the table,” Harper remembered, returning only when he and others had cooled off. “The individual with whom Ken had been discussing things said, ‘Well, I didn’t expect that outcome.’” With all three of his children either graduated or in their final year of schooling, Christian said it was Milobar who suggested he make the leap to city council in 2011. “Even in those days many people said run for mayor,” Brenda said. “But Ken likes to have a really good understanding of things and he thought the way of doing that is being a councillor first.” Milobar, who was mayor for both of Christian’s council terms,
said he’s expecting the role to be a good fit, if one with an ample learning curve. “It’s not necessarily a job for everybody. It’s long hours, it can get very stressful at times,” Milobar said, noting a thick skin is also required. Those who spoke to KTW said they weren’t surprised to see Christian go for the city’s top job, though Taryn said it’s not something she would have foreseen back in his trustee days. “It was always just the next level,” she said. “He was on the school board, then he was the chairman, then he wanted to engage in municipal politics and he went to that step.” Beyond his fondness for municipal infrastructure, Christian’s interests include hiking, golfing and basketball, a sport he refereed for about 30 years, and which all three of his children played. (City Hall watchers may also have noticed basketball metaphors sometimes creep into interviews and debates around the council table.) March Madness is a particular highlight in the Christian household — for sartorial as well as sport reasons. “He has almost every T-shirt for every university,” Brenda said. “So, when the playoffs are on, when March Madness is going on, even if he’s by himself he’ll run upstairs. If Gonzaga’s playing, he’s got his Zags shirt on and, if Carolina’s playing, he runs upstairs and he might have a favourite of the two so he’ll throw his T-shirt on.” NCAA playoffs may not be the only madness this spring. With only a year until the 2018 general election, Milobar notes Christian will likely encounter the pre-election silly season a few months into his run. With the countdown already on, Christian said he’s eager to get started, on Monday night at 7 p.m. at the Sandman Centre, when he and councillors-elect Kathy Sinclair and Ray Dhaliwal are sworn in. “It’s much different but I’m very excited about it all,” he said, adding he’s spending some half days at City Hall this week to get up to speed. “I’m ready to hit the ground running next week.”
For many people, work is a major component of their lives. In fact, many people identify themselves by what they do. But, when someone is fired from their job, it can be both a financial and emotional blow. Ayla Salyn Lawyer

Stuart Wood to house homeless this winter The shuttered elementary school’s gymnasium will be used as a temporary shelter with 40 to 50 beds
ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Stuart Wood school is going back into use for a while. The city announced Thursday that B.C. Housing will fund a winter shelter in the shuttered elementary school’s gymnasium as of Nov. 1, staffed by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Kamloops branch. Interim mayor Arjun Singh said the shelter will include 40 to
50 beds and provide at least two meals each day in the city’s coldest months. Singh said the shelter will provide immediate relief for the city’s homeless population but is only one of several solutions the city is pursuing, which also include temporary modular housing projects with the provincial government, as well as longer-term affordable housing. Christa Mullaly, executive director of the local CMHA
branch, said the shelter was first planned as an extreme-weather response model, but is moving to an all-winter service that is easier for both people on the street and those serving them. “It’s really hard for folks to know when it’s activated and when it’s not when your threshold is zero. If it’s cold out, it’s cold,” she said, adding a winter shelter is easier to plan for and staff. Mullaly said people in need will continue to come to Emerald
Centre on West Victoria Street first and will be sent to Stuart Wood if no beds are available there. “What we’ve experienced over the last number of months is we don’t have any beds,” said Mullaly, but staff will keep in touch in case beds open up in the regular shelter and people can be moved back over. CMHA will also bring in showers and larger washroom facilities. Singh said it’s likely a temporary wall will block off access to other
parts of the school while the shelter is in place. Singh said discussions on the school’s long-term future, which include a potential home for the Kamloops Museum and Archives, remain ongoing. The city also announced it is actively looking for locations to build a temporary rapid-rehousing project, using modular units pioneered in Vancouver. See SHELTER, A12

The unrelenting number of deaths in Kamloops and across the province will lead B.C.’s new government to provide synthetic heroin to addicts, predicts a community outreach official. The B.C. Coroners Service released statistics Thursday showing deaths from drug overdose, principally from fentanyl, continues unabated. In August, nearly four people a day died from illicit drug overdose. In Kamloops, 32 people have died to the end of August. That is putting the city on track toward a similar total of 43 deaths here last year. Bob Hughes, executive director of ASK Wellness, noted the numbers are a small sample size and susceptible to large increases. “Last November was the worst month of the More inside year,” he said. City adding 75 new The deaths come needle bins/A12 despite a supervised consumption mobile vehicle introduced in the city this year as well as widespread use of naloxone kits used to revive those who have overdosed. One unintended consequence of naloxone is to “allow people to ride to the edge,” Hughes said. “They’re able to have their friend revive them.” Provincewide, 58 per cent of overdose deaths occurred in private residences. Hughes said recent musings of health officials indicate an openness under B.C.’s new government to providing synthetic heroin to addicts. A trial in Vancouver found providing hydromorphone to a hardcore group of addicts saved lives and reduced crimes by addicts who steal to fund their habit. Hughes predicts it will be introduced across B.C. as early as next year. B.C., at the forefront of the fentanyl crisis, would be the only North American jurisdiction to do so. “It cuts to the chase,” he said. “We’re going to give it to people who have crossed thresholds.” While those thresholds of addiction would have to be clearly set out, Hughes acknowledged officials might have concerns about opening that door. “They think they’ll step into a trickle but it will be a torrent,” he said.

LOCAL NEWS KAMLOOPS PROVINCIAL COURT
Former NHL enforcer Poeschek has trial date set TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A former National Hockey League enforcer who missed court earlier this year is expected to stand trial in December on allegations of breaching probation and failing to appear. Rudy Poeschek’s trial on the breach charge had been scheduled to take place in Kamloops provincial court on June 2, but he was a no show and a warrant was issued. He was subsequently arrested and re-released, now facing an additional charge of failing to appear in court. A trial has been scheduled for Dec. 7. Poeschek, 50, has told KTW his memory is failing him. He said the breach charge was laid after he forgot about a meeting with his probation officer. He also said he nearly forgot to show up to a previous court date last year. Poeschek is one of a number of former NHL players suing the league, alleging officials there
year, had CTE. It has also been found in the brains of dozens of former professional football players and multiple hockey players. Poeschek was an enforcer in the NHL over parts of 12 seasons. He was selected by the New York Rangers in the 12th round of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft while playing junior hockey for his hometown Kamloops Blazers. After a playing career that ended in 2001, Poeschek was arrested eight times while living in Tampa, Fla., culminating in a March 13, 2005, demolition derby in his upscale neighbourhood that landed him behind bars. He moved with his family to Kamloops after his release from a Florida jail. Poeschek was on probation as part of a sentence he received after pleading guilty to a string of criminal charges — one count of assault and three of driving while prohibited — in 2015. He was jailed 45 days and placed on an 18-month probation term.
knew of the dangers posed by repeated head injuries. In a series published in KTW in 2015, a Boston-based neurosurgeon suggested Poeschek may be suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain disease found to have afflicted many former hockey and football players. Dr. Robert Cantu described CTE as being similar to Alzheimer’s disease. He said it can affect impulse control and memory. “It’s essentially caused by rattling your brain around in your head — a lot,” he told KTW. CTE played a prominent role in a lawsuit filed by former National Football League players against that league. In that case, the two sides reached a settlement in 2015 believed to have been worth more than US$1 billion. CTE can only be diagnosed after death. Researchers confirmed this week that Ty Pozzobon, the Merritt bull-rider who killed himself earlier this

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 anticipation as we now await the decision on the proposed Ajax mine. We have endured years of debate, studies, open houses and meetings on the copper and gold mine KGHM wants to build south of Aberdeen. We have seen the community divided on the issue as the pro-Ajax and anti-Ajax sides stated their cases. The last public comment period ended this week and the fate of the project now rests with three people: B.C. Minister of Environment George Heyman, B.C. Minister of Energy and Mines Michelle Mungall and federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. For the mine to become a reality, the project requires the approval of both the provincial NDP and federal Liberal governments.
OUR
VIEW
NOT: The latest execution in the ongoing gang wars in British Columbia — this one with a Kamloops connection. On Tuesday, noted gangster Ibrahim Amjad Ibrahim was found shot to death in a park in Richmond. Just last month, Ibrahim was walking with Konaam Shirzad and another man on Hudson’s Bay Trail when two killers ambushed the trio. Shirzad, co-founder of the Red Scorpions gang, was killed and another man was shot in the ankle. Ibrahim escaped that attack unscathed, only to die less than three weeks later. Don’t be surprised to see more killings in the days to come. HOT: Startup Kamloops, which has been named a finalist for the 2017 Startup Community of the Year Award by Startup Canada, the national social enterprise supporting entrepreneurs across Canada. The winner will be announced on Oct. 19 in Ottawa.

Stone, Libs need to renew
I
t was in the thick of the spring 2013 provincial election and fledgling candidate Todd Stone was in my office, sitting across from me and very respectfully disagreeing with a column I had written about him, then-NDP leader Adrian Dix and a visit the latter made to Thompson Rivers University. The details are not important, but what struck me that day was how passionate Stone was, how one could almost see his body and mind vibrating with his belief that he was absolutely 100 per cent correct in the debate. I recognized the demeanour and frustration as I have worn it often when parrying with readers on the merits of various news stories. It was the first time we had met, we agreed to disagree and Stone and the B.C. Liberals — at that time written off by every political pundit in B.C. (including me) — shocked all by emerging victorious on election night, May 14, 2013. It was during that campaign, after speaking with Stone a few times and seeing him in his element — addressing crowds large and small — that I remarked to more than a few people he could very well be the next leader of the party and a future premier. He has a way with voters, a magnetism tempered by a nonslick delivery that delivers a genuine earnestness. That persona was on full display Tuesday night at Thompson Rivers University as Stone spoke to dozens of supporters on the day he launched his bid for the party leadership. I believe Stone is genuine,
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
Newsroom
MUSINGS that he believes in what he says and that what he says is what he believes is best for the province. I don’t believe that is true of all politicians. I don’t believe the party leader Stone is hoping to succeed, Christy Clark, was equally genuine, nor that she believed in everything she said to voters. I think many voters felt likewise, which is why she is no longer in politics. If Stone is as genuine as he appears to be to me, he will need to follow through on the candid (some would say eye-opening) statements he made in Surrey and Kamloops on Tuesday while kicking off his leadership campaign. Stone said he wants to “renew” the coalition that is the B.C. Liberal Party — which would be the same right-ofcentre coalition that was Social Credit, though the KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA’s initial foray into politics was with Gordon Wilson’s B.C. Liberal Party, a different beast from today’s provincial Grits. “As the last election showed, far too many voters felt we didn’t
speak for them,” Stone said in Surrey. “And, frankly, in some cases, they were right.” Such introspection is refreshing and one wonders how many times Stone and other cabinet ministers had to bite their tongues and maintain a teamfirst unity during the past four years. If Stone is truly committed to renewing the party, however, some might question his decision to invite as campaign cochair Peter Fassbender, a former cabinet minister with a somewhat controversial political history as MLA and school trustee, and as media director Stephen Smart, who was chief spin doctor for Clark in her final year as premier. Some critics might view such team members as evidence of the same old, rather than examples of renewal. More importantly, Stone has stated his desire to listen to those who felt ignored by the Clark Liberals; about implementing policies to help families who are increasingly strained financially; about focusing on support for those living with mental-health issues; about devising a way to build clean, green industry that complements traditional, lessthan-green resource projects; and about solving the opioid overdose crisis. How he specifically plans to do all which was not accomplished by the previous Liberal government could be the question whose answer opens — or closes — the door to the leader’s office. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DON’T BELIEVE THE FEAR-MONGERING ON PR Editor: Well, the ink has barely dried on the proposed legislation for next year’s referendum on proportional representation (PR) and the fear-mongering has already begun. Todd Stone and Peter Milobar, our Liberal MLAs, recently made comments expressing concerns that have little basis in reality. In fact, B.C.’s 2018 referendum to adopt PR represents a historic opportunity to jettison firstpast-the-post (FPTP), a flawed and outdated system that routinely distorts the will of voters. By inflating the seat count of the largest party, FPTP usually hands majority governments to parties that the majority of voters cast ballots against. What’s more, small differences in voter preferences are magnified at election time to give us pendulum swings from right to left and back again, with each change in power seeing one government undo the work of its predecessor, creating uncertainty for investors and a dysfunctional policy environment over the long term. British Columbia can do better. Under PR, the ratio of MLAs to voters would
remain the same and no one is proposing any change there. However, since the largest parties would no longer be over-represented, there would be more room for alternate viewpoints. No one party has all the answers and collaboration produces better governance. Studies of voting systems around the world have confirmed this simple fact. Most advanced countries around the world use PR; Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. are the last holdouts. Contrary to what our MLAs are saying, PR would not diminish rural representation as rural voters will get more of what they voted for. When all votes count equally, a far higher percentage of citizens end up with representatives who actually align with their policies. For the Interior, that means we would still elect plenty of B.C. Liberals, but they would be joined by MLAs from other parties that also receive high support. The tradition of one party being given carte blanche and the wishes of all other voters being ignored would end. It’s fairer to those on the left and right edges of the spectrum.
No wonder the B.C. Liberals are nervous. This is the first time the referendum deck isn’t stacked against PR. So, get used to the fearmongering because there is bound to be much more of it. I urge voters to consider the source. The simple fact is FPTP has worked really well for the B.C. Liberals to run the show. Naturally, they want to keep it that way. It’s the only thing that keeps them in power when less than half the voters in the province actually support them. Sharing power and having to learn a less adversarial style of getting things done will be tough for the B.C. Liberals at first, but I have no doubt they will figure it out. We can then all benefit from a system in which policy has to represent the will of a true majority of voters. Less crazy swings back and forth, more thoughtful legislation and voters having representatives who align with their own priorities — sounds good to me. Gisela Ruckert Kamloops
ALMIGHTY PROFIT GOAL LEAVES CONSUMER RILED Editor: As I wandered through the now-doomed Wholesale Sports the other day, trying to find any of the 40 per cent off items the store claimed to be clearing out, I couldn’t help but postulate that, even now, this store was engaging in the very practice that brought it to its demise — that of gouging the very customers that support the store in the name of profit. This is not a diatribe against that company per se; if someone wants to buy a $24 egg carton that could be purchased for $6
elsewhere — and here I note the longevity of one Kamloops business that “is not your average dummy” – they have that right. But I hope most consumers in Kamloops don’t feel that way. I’ll tell you how they do feel: overtaxed, overcharged and insulted by businesses that aren’t really driven by improving Kamloops as a community. They merely have an eye on their own bottom line and are bent on fooling people without regard for their lives. If it takes a 400 per cent markup to achieve a quick
profit, so be it. Wrong. Even businesses that claim to be making a contribution to the community aren’t exactly pricing in a fair manner. As I sat in a nearly empty Sandman Centre, watching our local hockey team lose, I recall the justification for raising the ticket prices back when the team was winning. After all, it’s better hockey now, right? That logic doesn’t seem to apply when the opposite occurs. Would a $10 ticket break the hockey club? It might attract more people to the games.
If a business wants to locate here, it should undergo close and careful scrutiny of its business practices, including its expectations for profit at the expense of the citizenry. I hope our new mayor and council keep the failure of Wholesale Sports in mind as we welcome the next business here. As it so happens, a certain yoga apparel company that engages in the same practice as the departed might take note. Michael A Chambers Kamloops

CHBA members asked to back Stone JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
One day after announcing his bid for the B.C. Liberal leadership, Todd Stone spoke to a packed room of Canadian Home Builders Association (CHBA) members at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen. On Wednesday night, Stone echoed his ideas for the party and province — emphasizing a strong economy, but also a need to reconnect with voters after Christy Clark’s Liberals failed to regain power in the May 9 election. Stone criticized the Green-NDP alliance, saying it has “cooked up a plan” behind closed doors to change the electoral system and kill jobs. He said losing projects, such as the liquefied natural-gas project in Prince Rupert, does not inspire future investment in the province. “There is a lot on the line for all of your businesses,” Stone said. While Stone’s talk sounded like a pitch for premier, he was more likely speaking to the choir. CHBA officer manager Rose Choy said Stone spoke at the behest of several members. CHBA member Jim Thompson introduced

City increasing number of needle bins from six to 81
Move comes after consultation with Interior Health Authority ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
KTW FILE PHOTO
The Stuart Wood school gymnasium will be used as a temporary winter homeless shelter beginning Nov. 1.
Shelter will have ‘zero’ impact on surrounding community, Singh says From A6
The province plans to install 2,000 of the units, which can go from planning to opening in six months, by the end of 2019. “There’s some land that might be available from other partners and there’s some city land as well that might come into play. We haven’t figured that out yet,” Singh said. Locations on both the North and South shores are being con-
sidered for Kamloops locations. Singh said the goal is to have housing services that allow residents to receive addictions and mental-health treatments or other support services they may require once they’ve been safely housed. “We are certainly going to make sure that these locations are very well managed,” he said. “The [negative] impact they would have, in my mind, needs to be zero on the community. It has to have a positive impact.”
Another 75 needle-disposal bins are coming to washrooms in the city’s public parks and buildings. Social and community development supervisor Jen Casorso said the bin placements were worked out in consultation with Interior Health Authority and parks and facilities staff who are responsible for keeping those areas clean. Installation began this week. “Predominantly they’re in key areas along the Rivers Trail and in the valley area,” she said. The bins will be installed in single- and multi-stall washrooms. In the case of the latter, bins will be installed in several stalls, as well as near the garbage bin. Casorso said Interior Health found intravenous-drug users prefer disposal bins inside bathroom stalls when possible. The city already has six needledisposal bins installed, with locations including the Riverside and Pioneer parks washrooms. Casorso said they are being used and the city is seeing a decrease in discarded needles in those areas. She added the bins are secured

City of Kamloops officials are hoping the addition of 75 new needle disposal bins will help keep them out of parks and green spaces.
onto the wall on brackets that can’t be removed. “We don’t have to worry about children pulling boxes off the walls or that kind of tampering and staff are cleaning those facilities regularly, so there will be ongoing
monitoring,” she said. However, not all the bins will be accessible for long, as many parks washrooms close for the winter. Casorso said the city is also looking at outdoor disposal-unit options.

Trudeau turns attention to Canadians held captive Mexico as NAFTA tensions rise by Taliban-linked ‘HORRIBLE ORDEAL’
group released THE CANADIAN PRESS
ISLAMABAD — A Canadian man, his American wife and their three young children have been released after being held captive for five years by a network with ties to the Taliban, U.S. and Pakistani officials said Thursday. U.S. officials say Pakistan secured the release of Joshua Boyle and his wife Caitlan Coleman, who were abducted five years ago while travelling in Afghanistan and had been held by the Haqqani network. Coleman was pregnant when she was captured. The couple had three children while in captivity, and all have been freed, U.S. officials said. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said the government was “greatly relieved’’ that Boyle and his family had been released and are safe. “Joshua, Caitlan, their children and the Boyle and Coleman fami-

lies have endured a horrible ordeal over the past five years,” she said in a statement. “We stand ready to support them as they begin their healing journey.” “Canada has been actively engaged with the governments of the United States, Afghanistan and Pakistan and we thank them for their efforts, which have resulted in the release of Joshua, Caitlan and their children.’’ U.S. President Donald Trump also commented on the family’s release, saying, “yesterday, the United States government, working in conjunction with the Government of Pakistan, secured the release of the Boyle-Coleman family from captivity in Pakistan. Today they are free.’’ As of Thursday morning, however, the family’s precise whereabouts were unclear and it was not immediately known when they would return to North America.
THE CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — Justin Trudeau departed the U.S. capital for Mexico City on Thursday, leaving behind one country with mixed feelings about the North American Free Trade Agreement and landing squarely in another. The prime minister finally acknowledged Wednesday the possibility of North America without NAFTA after a day of Washington meetings that included pointed pessimism from U.S. President Donald Trump about the fate of trilateral trade pact. Prior to sitting down with Trudeau, Trump said it would be fine if NAFTA was just terminated, although members of Congress expressed hope earlier in the day it could be reworked. A similar tension appears to exist in Mexico, where President Enrique Pena Nieto has pledged to defend the deal, but some of his senior leadership appear to be laying groundwork for it to fail.
The country’s foreign relations secretary said this week it would not be a big deal for Mexico to just walk away from the talks, and that Mexico won’t accept “limited, managed trade’’ — an apparent reference to demands for higher U.S. and regional content rules on products like auto parts. Meanwhile, a veteran Mexican diplomat has expressed fears about the possibility that NAFTA could be ditched in favour of bilateral agreements, an issue raised by Trump as well. “Some of us in Mexico think that on several occasions our Canadian friends have come close to throwing us under the bus,’’ said Arturo Sarukhan, the former Mexican ambassador to the U.S., said at a NAFTA-related event hosted by a Washington law firm on Wednesday. “How do we Mexicans ensure [our] Canadian friends stay focused on a trilateral approach?’’ Trudeau was asked whether a bilateral deal with Mexico could be in the cards should the trilat-
eral talks fail. He said he knows there are other paths that could be pursued, and they’ll be followed if necessary. For now, he remains optimistic. “I continue to believe in NAFTA; I continue to believe that as a continent working together in complementary ways is better for our citizens and better for economic growth, and allows us to compete on a stronger footing with the global economy,’’ Trudeau said. “So saying, we are ready for anything and we will continue to work diligently to protect Canadian interests, to stand up for jobs, and look for opportunities for Canadian business and citizens of all of our friends and neighbour countries to do well.’’ A lone bugle blast signalled the start of Trudeau’s arrival in Mexico City, where an honour guard stood at the ready to welcome him and his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, for a full afternoon of events.
Finding home at Kamloops seniors Village Kamloops Seniors Village was the first home Bep and her family toured, and after seeing the suite for the first time, a decision was made right on the spot.
Bep said the seniors home always prepares a menu of nutritious, balanced meals, taking into consideration special diets.
“This is it, this is where I want to be,” Marv had exclaimed.
“They always have lots of salad and lots of fruit, and it’s very important, I think, in my diet to have lots of fruit and they seem to do that,” said Bep.
“[Our kids] picked us up, and the beds were made and the pictures were hung – it was just like coming home,” said Bep. Offering Independent Living, Assisted Living and Complex Care options, Kamloops Seniors Village offers different levels of care to accommodate every resident. Residents can choose from studio suites, one bedroom or two bedroom suites. Bep said seeing her suite was one of the biggest draws of the initial resident tour. “It’s just been painted and has new carpeting. It’s very spacious, it’s got two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a balcony,” said Bep. She also added that her north-facing apartment boasts a spectacular view of the North Thompson River.
Resident Elisabeth (Bep) Crawford maintains a healthy dose of fruit in her daily fashion diet. Eighty-nine-year-old Elisabeth “Bep” Crawford has been a resident at Kamloops Seniors Village for almost a year and a half now. When her and her late husband, Marvin (“Marv” for short), moved in almost a year and a half ago, Bep said the choice was clear from the start. “I had said to my daughter… ‘you know, I’m getting kind of tired.’ My health wasn’t as good,” explained Bep. “Next thing I know she said, ‘Mom, I’m making an appointment for a tour of Seniors Village.’”
A normal week for Bep at Kamloops Seniors Village includes lots of exercise. “Usually I keep busy in the morning. We get exercises three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and sometimes I go to yoga on Thursday as well,” said Bep. During the day, residents are provided with an assortment of entertainment and recreational activities to fill their day. From movies, to Scrabble and carpet bowling games, to discussion groups and trivia, residents have plenty of options to choose how they want to spend the afternoon.

Concern in Washington over Trump’s Iran plans THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Several congressional Democrats who split with U.S. President Barack Obama to oppose the nuclear agreement with Iran are now urging President Donald Trump to uphold the international accord, arguing that robust enforcement is the best way to counter Tehran’s malign behaviour in the Middle East. The reversal underscores deep concerns among lawmakers that Trump will inform Congress in the coming days that the landmark
2015 agreement with Iran is contrary to America’s national security interests. That declaration could lead to an unraveling of the sevennation pact and leave the United States, not Iran, as the country that balked at honouring its commitments. Rep. Eliot Engel, who voted against the agreement two years ago, said at a hearing Wednesday U.S. interests are best served by keeping the deal and aggressively policing the agreement to ensure Iran doesn’t violate the terms. Engel, the top Democrat on the
Foreign Affairs Committee, said unwinding the agreement would send a dangerous signal to allies and adversaries alike. The U.S. will need to work with Britain, France and Germany — all parties to the Iran nuclear pact — to fix its flaws and those countries need to know that the U.S. is a reliable partner, according to Engel. North Korea’s leaders, meanwhile, would have little incentive to negotiate a nuclear disarmament if they see the Iran deal collapse, he said.

agreement briefed congressional Democrats later Wednesday on the merits of the international accord. Former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Wendy Sherman, the former undersecretary of state for political affairs, along with European ambassadors met behind closed doors with lawmakers. Under the 2015 deal, Tehran agreed to roll back its nuclear program in exchange for relief from wide-ranging oil, trade and financial sanctions.

BRUSSELS — Brexit talks have made little progress, the European Union’s chief negotiator said Thursday, meaning they cannot yet be broadened beyond the terms of Britain’s exit to include key issues like future trade relations. Michel Barnier said that despite the “constructive spirit’’ shown in this week’s fifth round of talks, “we haven’t made any great steps forward.’’ On the question of how much Britain has to pay to settle its financial commitments, he said: “We have reached a state of deadlock, which is disturbing.’’ Barnier said he would not be able to recommend to EU leaders meeting next week that “sufficient progress’’ has been made to broaden the talks to future EU-British relations, including trade. The leaders meet for two days in Brussels starting on Oct. 19 and, with time short to seal a deal, it had been hoped they would agree to widen the talks. The EU says this can only happen when there has been progress on the issues of the financial settlement, the rights of citizens affected by Brexit and the status of the Northern Ireland-Ireland border. Many businesses are worried that Britain could leave the EU without a trade deal in place, which would mean tariffs on exports from both sides, reams of red tape and chaos at ports. The pound fell Thursday on news of the slow progress, trading 0.6 per cent lower at US$1.3142. Britain says its exit terms are closely intertwined with those on future relations like trade and must be discussed together. “I hope the member states will see the progress we have made and take a step forward’’ next week, British Brexit envoy David Davis told reporters. “We would like them to give Michel the means to broaden the negotiations. It’s up to them whether they do it. Clearly I think it’s in the interests of the United Kingdom and the European Union that they do,’’ Davis said. Despite the lack of progress, Barnier said the two would work to achieve “sufficient progress’’ in time for a subsequent meeting of EU leaders in December. About one-third of the negotiating time has already elapsed.
“We need to work with allies and partners on a shared agenda that holds the regime in Iran accountable, not dividing America from our closest friends across the globe,’’ Engel said. Notably, the committee’s top Republican, Rep. Ed Royce, said the U.S. should adhere to the deal. “As flawed as the deal is, I believe we must now enforce the hell out of it,’’ said the California lawmaker. Former Obama administration officials who played central roles in brokering the Iran nuclear

‘Guys don’t really seem to care right now’ BLAZERS’ DISASTROUS START WORSENS WITH POOR EFFORT IN DEFEAT MARTY HASTINGS

he couldn’t have been older than six or seven. The young girl’s voice echoed through silent Sandman Centre for 30 seconds that seemed like an hour, turning the sounds of sticks clattering and skates carving into instrumental backing — “Go Blazers Go! Go Blazers Go! Go Blazers Go! Go Blazers Go!” the solo refrain continued.
The house choir was given the night off on Wednesday, muzzled fans with nothing about which to sing, plastered to their seats in a storied rink in a storied hockey town, their home building reduced to a mausoleum. But the young girl, a solo act who knew the floor was hers, kept on going, likely not grasping the gravity of her team’s impending 0-9 record, chanting in support of her Kamloops Blazers with a beautiful blind faith, willing them to turn it around. She may be among the few
who believe they can bounce back from this franchise-worst start to a WHL season, especially after the effort put forth in a 4-2 loss to the Calgary Hitmen, who entered the contest on a five-game losing streak that included a 7-1 defeat on Tuesday night in Prince George. Calgary showed no signs of bus legs and Kamloops didn’t look like a team desperate to stop a humiliating skid. The Hitmen outshot the Blazers 56-32. “Guys don’t really seem like they care right now,” said Blazers’

forward Quinn Benjafield, whose third-period marker proved meaningless. “It’s not a good thing at all. We need to care a lot more.” Luc Smith was not among the Blazers who didn’t “really seem to care” on Wednesday and the 19-year-old forward from Stony Plain, Alta., is painfully aware of the place in history this team is carving for itself. “If we don’t come out and compete and have urgency and want to win every battle, this could continue,” said Smith, who scored the Blazers’ first goal. “We’re going
through the motions right now. It’s as simple as that. We’re not competing to win.” Benjafield is struggling to see light at the end of the tunnel. “After tonight, it’s pretty hard to see, but something to build off of would be last game, when the shots were 35-15 for us,” Benjafield said, referencing a 4-3 loss to Seattle at Sandman Centre on Sunday. “If we’re letting a team get 15 shots, we’re going to win that game, if our goalie plays a good game.” See HAY, A19

DO YOU KNOW THIS SHOPLIFTER? This suspect probably thought he got away with this theft from Princess Auto in Valleyview. Back on Monday, Aug. 18, the man entered the store a took his time walking around. He selected a plasma cutter and walked to the front of the store, where he put the item down. When the front counter staff got busy with other customers, the suspect causally walked out of the store with the plasma cutter. The thief may have walked away with the stolen item, but his face was captured on the store’s video security system. There are two photos — one showing the shoplifter holding the plasma cutter and walking to the front of the store and the another (shown on this KTW page) of the man entering the store. The thief is white and in his early 30s. He has short dark hair and was wearing dark clothing and a ball cap backwards. Call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) if you know this person. You will never have to go to court or give a statement.

CREDIT CARD FRAUD On Wednesday, Sept. 13, a man entered two different Kamloops gas station convenience stores and used a credit card that had been stolen from a vehicle. It is unknown if the man broke into the vehicle or bought the stolen credit card, but he was in possession of stolen property. The credit card stolen from a wallet in the vehicle must have had the “tap” function activated as goods were purchased without the need to enter a personal identification number (PIN).
The “tap” function should be discussed with your bank or credit card company to determine if it worth having attached to your card. If you should lose your credit card, you could become a victim of crime. This suspect is white, in his mid-20s and has short, light-coloured short hair. When he used the stolen credit card, he was wearing a red hoodie. If you know this person, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477). Only your information will be used, never your name.
THIEF CAUGHT ON CAMERA On Friday Sept. 6, a man was caught on the video surveillance security system in the underground parking lot of the Sandman Signature Hotel across from Riverside park. He was seen on the camera checking out a number of vehicles before stopping by one vehicle’s driver’s door. The suspect then broke into the car and took a couple of small items. Damage to the car will be far more expense to fix than the actual value of the items that were stolen.
The suspect was seen dragging what looks like a black and silver hockey bag with wheels on it as he made his way to the exit. He is white, in his 20s and heavy-set. He was wearing a grey and blue sweater at the time of the theft. If you know who this person, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). You could receive a cash reward upon his arrest.

John Old is concerned the batting cage at Charles Anderson Park is unsafe and wants to see it reconstructed. The city plans to install safety netting.
Old wants cage made anew MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
J
ohn Old likened the batting cage behind the east diamond at Charles Anderson Stadium to a death trap. “I’m just an 80-yearold man who wants to live a little longer,” Old said with a laugh. “This here, if people use it, they’re going to be subjected possibly to an accident and it could be severe.” Old complained to the City of Kamloops this summer. When action had not been taken after more than a month, he called KTW. He showed up to Charles Anderson with a ball and bat last week to make his point, ripping a few line drives that careened off exposed metal posts inside the cage. “The cage is put on the outside of the posts instead of the other way around,” Old said. “It ricochets all over the place in here.”
Shawn Cook, senior parks operation supervisor for the city, said on Tuesday the problem will be addressed next spring before baseball season. “We’ll put in a netting system, so you hit the net, not the fence or the pole,” Cook said. “We just re-did some on Mac Island a couple of years ago. It’ll be similar to that.” Cook said the city will likely lock the cage in the meantime. Old said the netting fix will remedy the safety problem, but create a usage issue. “They’ll have to lock the cage and someone will always have to get a key if they want to use it,” Old said, noting the netting would be prone to vandalism if the cage wasn’t locked. “During the week, early in the morning in the summer when it’s hot, I go in there for half an hour. It would be practical. I’d need a key.” Old wants to see the problem fixed differently. “There’s no material
cost to put it [the caging] on the inside of the posts,” he said. “I think it was an error when it was installed.” There is a battingpractice screen inside the cage, but it does not protect pitchers from balls that may bounce off posts located behind it. Chris Godfrey, 32, was competing in a Comox Valley Slopitch League game in Courtenay on Aug. 19 when a throw from the shortstop struck him in the head. He collapsed and later died in hospital. Old said he does not want to see anything remotely similar to that happen in Kamloops, noting the door to the cage is not usually locked and is easily accessed by adults and children alike. “When I was pitching, I got hit myself on the side of the face and thought, ‘This is an accident waiting to happen,’” Old said.

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.

ALTUVE, ASTROS READY FOR YANKEES KRISTIE RIEKEN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Local money for local good.
HOUSTON — Jose Altuve hit .346 to win the American League batting title for the second straight year before batting .533 in the ALDS to help the Houston Astros eliminate the Boston Red Sox. As Houston prepares to host the New York Yankees on Friday night in Game 1 of its first league championship series since 2005, Altuve’s teammates and coaches say what’s better than his gaudy numbers is his approach: No matter how great
his stats are, he always believes he can do better. “He has four hits and he’s like: ‘Carlos I never had a fivehit game before, let me try to get the fifth hit,’’’ star shortstop Carlos Correa said. “He’s always striving for more. And that’s what I’ve learned from him that makes me better every, single day.’’ Altuve isn’t sure why he’s always had that mindset. It could stem from years ago when many doubted that someone who is only 5-foot-6 could make it in the majors. But he won’t admit that now.
“That’s the way I am,’’ he said when asked about his drive. “I just want to keep getting better . . . if I can get better to keep helping my team I am going to be happy to do it.’’ The Astros went 5-2 this year against the Yankees, who rallied from a 2-0 deficit and beat Cleveland 5-2 Wednesday night in Game 5 of the ALDS. The All-Star second baseman insists that he isn’t thinking about any of the numbers that he’s put up so far. “The five-whatever I hit last series is already gone,’’ he said. “It doesn’t count for this series.”

United entering key stretch STEVE DOUGLAS
THE CANADIAN PRESS
MANCHESTER, England — Exploiting a kind early-season schedule, Manchester United has shown attacking flair under Jose Mourinho by scoring four goals in six of its 11 games. It’s time to find out if that positive approach is here to stay now the fixtures are stiffening for the team. Among its next four games in the English Premier League, United faces Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea — sides which will be likely contenders for the title and Champions League qualification. A visit to fierce rival Liverpool is first up on Saturday, meaning
a return to the scene of probably United’s most negative and defensive performance last season. It was a classic containing game plan by Mourinho and it made for an underwhelming 0-0 draw at Anfield. Some labelled it a betrayal of United’s attacking heritage, especially on the back of three consecutive offseasons of heavy spending. Mourinho couldn’t really care less, relishing the fact his side stifled what he called, somewhat tongue in cheek, “the last wonder of the world in attacking football.’’ In away games against the Premier League top five (Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal) last season,

United collected two points and scored just once. In his second season at United and having stamped more of his authority on the team, Mourinho has many wondering whether he’ll take a more positive outlook into games against his big rivals. That’s why Saturday’s derby — widely regarded as the most illustrious game on the English soccer calendar — has another level of intrigue. “Do I like to go to Anfield? Yes, I love it. Do I like to play against Liverpool? Yes,’’ said Mourinho, who has won 11 of his 25 games against Liverpool as a manager. “I like amazing stadiums, the best opponents, but the preparation is not different. It’s just a match.’’

LOCAL NEWS
Face and fate of obscurantic, deficient leadership
L
eadership crises are on the increase in every sphere of society — educational, government, administration and political. Such crises are also found in the Church. True leadership, even when it is practised by the most mature and emotionally stable person, always exacts a toll on the individual. Jesus Christ seemed to have had this thought in mind when he said: “If you really want to find your life, you must lose it” (Luke 9:24). It is true any worthwhile accomplishment has a price tag on it. The issue is reduced to one basic question: How much are we really willing to pay in hard work and sweat, in patience, in faith and in endurance to obtain it? Brickbats hit leaders from every angle. Casualties result because of unguarded sources. Criticism is a great price paid by leaders. If one cannot handle criticism, it means, essentially, the person is emotionally immature. This defect would show up and impede the individual’s and the group’s progress toward

FAITH
the common goal. Every leader can expect some of it. The mature leader is able to handle this and makes the needed personal adjustments and corrections. They are then able to reflect that the criticism has led them to deeper selfexamination. Over the course of my ministry experience, I have seen pastors come and go abruptly, leaving behind leaderless churches. Loneliness, fatigue, rejection, sense of competition, abuse of power and other factors have led to empty pulpits. The willingness to be alone in the service of others is nerveinspiring, but quite challenging. A true leader promotes interests, values and goals of others. At the same time,
the effective leader must strive to fulfil their own potential and goals without being absorbed into the “constituency.” This could leave them somewhere in between because they must identify with and be isolated from people. Someone has said the world is run by tired men. There is some substance in the statement. A wise leader would try to find a balance, a change of pace to reduce stress. If a person burns out, their influence and contribution decrease. Proper health care, rest and balance would help a leader to maintain their ability to persist. A leader must
be prepared to recognize the toll upon them emotionally and physically. A Christian leader must also be ready to pay the price of personal rejection. There is always the strong possibility that, somewhere, they may be maligned for their faith or of their Christian perspective on issues. Jesus had to walk
the same path: “He came unto his own, but they received him not” (John 1:11). At times, the leader must be able to resist praise. They must have courage to be willing to stand up against the spirit of the age. They should put the praise of God above the praise of men. They know that “the fear of man lays a snare” (Proverbs 29:25).

The verdict or judgment of men does not change their standard if it is truly God and people-oriented. Still another peril of leadership is the effect of competition. There is a price for leaders to pay if they suffer from a “competition anxiety” that takes the form of fear of failure or the fear of success. On the other hand, power has become accepted as the basic characteristic of leadership in the long history of mankind. In any organization, including Christian groups, when a person is given authority, he or she is in a legitimate position to exercise control and influence. For some, this is ego-building and may lead to autocracy. It is a peril and there is a price to pay to keep from falling prey to this insidious temptation. Popularity also affects a leader’s per-

formance. Feelings of infallibility and indispensability can decrease their effectiveness. The myth of indispensability is often perpetuated by the best intentioned people. Frequently, organizations face this with their older leaders who become progressively less able with age to assess their contributions objectively. They drag their heels and either hinder or retard growth and development. We might be able to think of other ways in which a true leader must be ready to pay a price if they are to retain a responsible position. When all is said and done, when they are willing to pay the sacrifices necessary for success, their span of service will be marked by high quality and excellence. ryanmitra225@ gmail.com

Obituaries & In Memoriam Miranda Elayne Kuss If you love something, love it completely, cherish it, say it, but most importantly show it. Life is finite and fragile and just because something is there one day, it might not be the next.
In Loving Memory of Leslie Muir
March 17, 1913 - October 3, 2017
October 13, 2017
It is with great sadness we share the passing of Marjorie Frances Watt on October 3, 2017.
Miranda Elayne Kuss was born on September 6, 1989 in Kamloops, BC and resided there until May 2012 when her dreams and aspirations took her to Fox Creek, AB. She passed away on September 20, 2017 in Valleyview, AB after a very courageous and determined battle with cancer at the age of 28 years. From the time she was a child, the warmth of her smile, the laughter in her eyes, her quick wit, her smile, her bold determination and her strength of character endeared her to many. Miranda’s gifts of perception, common sense, organization and perseverance enabled her to successfully meet the challenges she faced, either in her volunteer position with Victim Services or with her job as Parks and Recreation Coordinator for Fox Creek. Her sense of community spirit led her to build public garden boxes, organize art shows, instruct Can Skate classes for kids, organize community events and volunteer with the RCMP. Miranda’s warmth and sensitivity, touched many and brought smiles to all she crossed paths with, both professionally and personally. Miranda leaves behind her soulmate and partner in crime Calvenn Lanktree, his family Bill and Dena Lanktree, Serah and Tyrell Small and the extended family of the Haynes’s and Lanktree’s. She leaves behind her mother Rebecca Kuss, as well as her family and friends from BC and Saskatchewan. A Memorial Service will be held in April 2018. Memorial donations may be made to Kamloops RCMP Victim Services. Condolences may be sent by visiting www.oliversfuneralhome.com
In Loving Memory of Guy Franklin Bilodeau
December 19, 1937- October 13, 2016
Remember Me: To the living I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated, But to the happy, I am at peace. And to the faithful, I have never left. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard. So as you stand upon a shore, Gazing at a beautiful sea, remember me. Remember me in your heart, Your thoughts, your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed. For if you always think of me, I will never be gone. Always Loved Never Forgotten Forever Missed
Your loving wife Joyce Your loving son John Your loving daughter Cathy
Grampa My Grampa showed me what it means to be tough, he loaded me with confidence, and taught me to give to those less fortunate. He never stopped growing and showing us its never too late to change for the better. My Grampa is the backbone to the person that I am today. I love you Guy Bilodeau. You have made lasting memories in my heart and I will continue to tell your story for all my life. I love you G.P.I xoxoxo
Your loving granddaughter, Rebecca
Marjorie Frances Watt (Frances Harris)
Also known as Frances Harris, she is a well-known painter of Western Canadian landscapes and her work has been collected internationally. Frances is survived by her five children Bruce (Elaine), Kitty (Jeff), Alexander (Susan), Bill (Carolyn) and James, eleven granchildren and ten greatgrandchildren. Frances was predeceased by her husband Alex in 1997. Those special memories will always bring a smile If only I could have you back for just a little while Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do You always meant so very much and always will do too The fact you’re no longer here will always cause me pain but you’re forever in my heart until we meet again.
A celebration of her extraordinary life and art will be held at a later date. More biographical information can be found at www.lloydgallery.com.
Love you Baby Sister and Miss you and your smile so much Dad and Kathie, Tom, Lindsay and Ryan
A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim
Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

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!

SOMETHING SINISTRE IN SIGHT AT SAHALI MALL Vance Schneider (left) and Lori Barber get in the Halloween spirit in advance of Cirque Sinistre. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

New Halloween event combines haunted house, theatre, maze JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER

C
ircuses have shuttered, leaving the clowns with no place to go. They’ll be on the loose at Sahali Mall this Halloween. Lori Barber, who has worked at Halloween Alley and on haunted houses in past years, and Vance Schneider of Laughing Stock Theatre Society are behind Cirque Sinistre. Schneider said it fills a need for a large, centralized Halloween event in Kamloops. “Giving it some thought, that’s why we came up with this,” he said. A three-ring circus will take over the Sahali Mall parking lot near Tumblweed Toys, along with a twisted wooden maze and haunted carny arcade. The arcade isn’t for playing though, instead offering horrific sights like eyeballs in a deep fryer. “They get some theatre, they get some scare and they get the details at the end,” Barber said. About 25 volunteers will improvise inside the wooden maze, with scary moments planned to guide people through. It’s more controlled than the average corn maze. Cirque Sinistre is adult-oriented and may frighten children. But a spooked-down afternoon on Saturday, Oct. 28, will offer kids a
tiny haunted house by Nielson Tiny Holmes. “They’re doing it all decorated for Halloween,” Barber said. “The kids can come trick or treat at their door . . . There’s going to be a little pumpkin patch on their sun deck.” On that day, kids can also walk through the circus without scary characters popping out at them. In all, about 60 volunteers will make Cirque Sinistre possible in the event’s first year and several positions still need filling. “We need people to do all kinds of things,” Barber said. “Man the popcorn machine, the cotton candy machine, cloud control, ticket booth. You name it, there’s lots.” Food trucks, cotton candy, hot dogs and popcorn will be on hand. Partial proceeds will go to New Life Community Kamloops and the Red Cross in support of B.C. wildfire evacuees. Cirque Sinistre runs Oct. 22 to Oct. 31, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The Oct. 28 kids’ matinee is from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $15 or $12 for kids ages 14 and younger and seniors ages 60 and older, available from the Laughing Stock Theatre Society box office, online at thelaughingstock.ca/ ticket-pricing.
Post-Padova
Laughing Stock Theatre Society has been operating out of
Tranquille Farm Fresh in recent years, helping with the corn maze and leasing space to store and build theatre props and sets. The society is hunting for a new space. Laughing Stock had to relocate as Tranquille Farm Fresh is looking at a new development on the property. This year, a corn maze will not be offered on the grounds, which historically housed a tuberculosis sanatorium. In past years, two mazes have been offered in the same area west of Kamloops, with Tranquille Farm Fresh being the farther location. Tranquille Farm Fresh’s Annete McLeod would not speak to anything related to the development, but said the move away from the corn maze came after five years. “We’re on to bigger and better things,” she said. Instead, it will host Dr. Padova’s Halloween Carnival from Oct. 26 to Oct. 28, a murder mystery in collaboration with Chimera Theatre Production. Watch future editions of KTW for a story on that new Halloween event.

One Bad Son back in Kamloops on heels of new album KTW caught up with lead singer Shane Volk by
phone from his family farm and talked Thanksgiving, rock ‘n’ roll and gaining international exposure amidst Trump’s America JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
It was the calm before the storm. The Canadian rock band One Bad Son releases its fifth studio album Friday, before embarking next week on a months-long Canadian tour promoting the new music. After that, the hope is to push international markets. When KTW reached the band’s lead singer, Shane Volk, he was out at his family’s farm near Kindersley, Sask., a couple of hours west of Saskatoon, for Thanksgiving — a breath of air at the place he grew up before plenty of work that lies ahead. “Out in the middle of nowhere,” Volk, who lives in Calgary, said. “It’s nice.” The band’s last album was released in 2014 and they’ve been
writing ever since. Add on a year for recording and the record has been “a long time coming,” Volk said. While Volk loves every aspect of making music, including writing and recording, he prefers performing. “That’s what the whole thing builds up to,” he said. One Bad Son fans in Kamloops won’t have seen live tracks from Made in the Name of Rock and Roll before the Oct. 22 show at the Blue Grotto and Volk is excited to take the new material on the road. He said One Bad Son’s writing has improved with every record and renowned Canadian producer Gavin Brown worked with the band this time around. Brown has also worked with Three Days Grace, Billy Talent, Metric and the Tragically Hip. “Bringing him on board took the record to the next level,” Volk said. “It’s definitely a progression.” Beyond the writing and producing, Volk said the band has also found its identity. “This time around, I think we know who we are . . . . ” Volk said. “We’ve just become a very nonapologetic rock ‘n’ roll band.”
Drummer Kurt Dahl (left), guitarist Adam Hicks, vocalist Shane Volk and bassist Steve Adams make up the Canadian rock band One Bad Son, which is performing in Kamloops on Sunday, Oct. 22.
He said it’s difficult starting out, changing music to match what’s popular and not knowing where a band fits. “Led Zeppelin, Sound Garden — those bands never apologize for being rock ‘n’ roll bands,” Volk said. “We just embraced it and went with it.” The Kamloops show is just one of many in coming months for One Bad Son, with a tour that wraps up in Saskatoon just before Christmas. Volk called the band “grassroots” and said the band will be travelling in a big van with a trailer. It’ll be not only a chance to promote the new album, but also an opportunity to see how new bassist, Steve Adams, fits into the equation. “If he can’t handle two months in the van, he won’t cut it,” Volk said with a laugh. Volk and One Bad Son have played in Kamloops on multiple occasions
and Volk said he is excited to return. “We’ve got a really good following,” he said. After the Canadian tour, Volk said the band will look to international markets — but not necessarily down south. “Touring the States is tough,” he said. “The border — with the current leadership in that country — getting over the border isn’t as easy as it used to be.” That isn’t the case in Europe, he added, which Volk knows from the band’s first time over the pond promoting the last album. “There’s a huge rock scene in Europe,” Volk said. “Germany was amazing . . . . Rock fans are rock fans no matter where you go in the world.” They plan to head that way again, but not before their show in the River City. “We’re so excited to get back to Kamloops,” Volk said. “Thanks to everybody that’s supported us there and waited for us to come back.” The Kamloops show is $15. Doors open at 8 p.m., at 319 Victoria St. The 19-plus concert will include special guests Whale and the Wolf.

Creating outside your comfort zone New KTW columnist navigates the maker movement
S
ewing is not my thing. As a creative person, I love nothing more than making something out of raw materials, inspiration and a little guidance, courtesy of the internet. As co-owner of a business built on creativity, it’s my job to tackle new projects and come up with ideas for cool DIY workshops. As a perfectionist, I’d love nothing more than to master every creative pursuit out there — sewing included. But as a gal, sitting before my sewing machine, I’m a ball of frustration and profanity. To me, sewing is finicky. It’s tedious and trying and has resulted in drapes too narrow, a shower curtain too short and, in Grade 8 home economics, the cutest pyjama pants two sizes too small that had to be given away. Hard as I try, I often forget any success at the machine and remember only the sewing fails. It’s the reason I hang out at the fabric store, admiring the beautiful patterns, colours and textures, but rarely buy anything; my sewing machine stays stored away, only seeing daylight once or so a year. My infrequent sewing projects often start in the birthplace of most ill-conceived ideas — Pinterest.
With all the wonderful “reasons to create, perfection

MOVEMENT After spotting a particularly beautiful, trendy and extremely expensive throw pillow, duvet cover or shower curtain, I find myself ordering metres of fabric online, drunk with confidence. Weeks later, when the fabric arrives, it takes up residence on my dining room table, mocking me until I haul out the sewing machine and hatchet something together. Last week offered one such occasion. I sat before my sewing machine, having recently returned from vacation with a few metres of fabric and a plan: a tablecloth. A simple rectangle with hemmed edges. Easy, right? While hemming edges is well within my sewing abilities, I failed to realize I have never before worked with this type of thick woven fabric. As I laid out the fabric, I took stock of the badly frayed edges.
isn’t on the list; life as a maker is so much more enjoyable when you overlook all the ways you could fail and just dive in.
”
Loose threads hung everywhere, just begging to be tugged on, and I feared I’d lose half my material with one wrong move. Worried about making a mistake, but unwilling to give up just yet, I sewed on, pinning and pressing and tucking raw edges under the machine’s presser foot until a finished table cloth emerged. The edges a bit uneven, the stitching a bit wonky, the corners less-than perfect — but a tablecloth nonetheless. If you stand back and admire it from the living room, it actually looks really great. When it was finished, I did something different — I left my sewing machine out, ready for another project. With this under my belt, I felt ready to take on the envelope-style pillow covers I’ve been putting off for awhile. After that, who knows? Maybe a new tree skirt, just in time for the holidays? Since opening Makeshift in 2016, I’ve taken on more creative
projects than ever before. Each time focusing on the destination — a new completed project under my belt — but also the creative journey of learning, trying new and sometimes scary projects, making mistakes, honing my skills and giving up on perfection. Join me, as I share my experience from the centre of the maker movement, in this new monthly column in KTW. With all the wonderful reasons to create, perfection isn’t on the list; life as a maker is so much more enjoyable when you overlook all the ways you could fail and just dive in. Completing this sewing project only made me marginally better. Calli Duncan is co-owner of Makeshift Kamloops design collective.

They’re just contenders, said Horsdal — better known as Valdy — musicians vying for the stage and for an audience to listen to them perform. “We’re not like Kate’s husband, what’s his name? You know. Prince William. He’s The Contender,” Horsdal said with a laugh. “Gary and I, we’re just contenders, just like others who do what we do, although, at our age, we’ve got 117 years of experience and we’re still good at what we’re doing.” Horsdal, who turned 72 last month, and Fjellgaard, who hit eight decades in August, are heading out on their annual tour of the Interior as Contenders. This year, they’ve got some company for the six gigs, one of which will be at Sagebrush Theatre on Friday, Nov. 3.

Although he’s still just learning it, he said he might bring his banjo out to play, too. The Hopkins are known for their rootsy, country and bluegrass music, which includes plenty of original material. Horsdal and Fjellgaard have been
touring as Contenders for 16 years. They now also share stars on the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame. Horsdal was named to it a decade ago and Fjellgaard was honoured last month. Their stars on Granville Street are across from each other. The two will take turns performing alone during the show, as always, and come together for some tunes, as well.

a song he wrote earlier this year and debuted on Canada Day in Victoria “on the legislature lawn — the NDP legislature lawn — with a choir of 100 children.” It’s a song about the legacy being left to the younger generation, Horsdal said. “It’s their future and it’s their request we look after it,” he said. “The children are saying, ‘We don’t get it [the world] till you’re through. We are the future’.” Although it’s just two minutes long, it’s got a rap section in it, Horsdal said, something he’s done for other songs, but conceding, “it’s not a plentiful tool in my chest.” The tour starts on Halloween at Lorenzo’s Cafe in Ashton Creek and wraps up on Nov. 5 in Oliver. The Hopkins are every show but the opening night. While they’ve been doing the tour for years and performing for decades more, Horsdal said they’re not old. “I’m older,” he explained. “Old is an attitude. Older is an inevitable.” Tickets are $30 and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Questions of who knew arise amid Weinstein allegations
Hollywood producer loses wife, job, honorary degree as case against him continues building JACK COYLE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
NEW YORK — As the grim scope of Harvey Weinstein’s alleged sexual abuse has continued to expand, attention is turning to the question of who knew about the film’s mogul’s behaviour. A key and potentially volatile component of Tuesday’s New Yorker expose was the claim that “a culture of complicity’’ has existed at both The Weinstein Co. and his previous film company, the Walt Disney-owned Miramax. “Numerous people throughout the companies [were] fully aware of his behaviour but either abetting it or looking the other way,’’ the magazine reported. Further scrutiny has followed the contention that Weinstein’s conduct was “an open secret’’ in Hollywood. Focus has turned to not just the workplace environ-
HARVEY WEINSTEIN: Accused of harassing, assaulting actresses.
ments Weinstein operated in, but the stars who may have had some knowledge of Weinstein’s alleged behaviour but who failed to raise any alarms. Ben Affleck was called out Tuesday by alleged victim Rose McGowan. In a tweet, the actress accused Affleck of lying after issuing a statement that he was “saddened and angry’’ about the Weinstein revelations. “GODDAMNIT! I TOLD HIM TO STOP
DOING THAT’ you said that to my face,’’ McGowan wrote on Tuesday. “The press conf I was made to go to after assault. You lie.’’ Actress Hilarie Burton also renewed an earlier allegation that Affleck groped her during a visit to MTV’s TRL, which she was hosting in 2003. A Twitter user recalled the incident, noting ‘everyone forgot.’’ Burton replied, “I didn’t forget.” Affleck tweeted an apology on Wednesday: “I acted inappropriately toward Ms. Burton and I sincerely apologize.” The ongoing fallout poses potentially severe legal issues for the companies involved. The Weinstein Co., which fired its cochairman on Sunday, has moved to continue forward with plans to change its name. In a statement Tuesday, the Weinstein Co. board of directors
strongly denied that it knew about Weinstein’s behaviour. “These alleged actions are antithetical to human decency. These allegations come as an utter surprise to the board. Any suggestion that the board had knowledge of this conduct is false,’’ the four-member board said in a statement. “We are committed to assisting with our full energies in all criminal or other investigations of these alleged acts, while pursuing justice for the victims and a full and independent investigation of our own.’’ The board, however, includes Weinstein’s brother, Bob, the company’s other cochairman. And several board members earlier resigned in the wake of the initial allegations of sexual harassment. That report, published last week by the New York Times, also

detailed hundreds of thousands of dollars in alleged settlements. It’s not known if Weinstein made the payments personally or if either The Weinstein Co. or Miramax did. Legal experts are skeptical The Weinstein Co. could have been unaware given the volume of allegations. “Given all the information that’s coming out now, I would find it highly implausible that the board was not aware,” said Angela Reddock-Wright, an attorney specializing in employment and labour law who has represented businesses in harassment suits. “There are just too many allegations here. Unless there were settlements paid out by Weinstein from his own personal money, settlements over a certain dollar value would have presumably been approved by the
board of directors.’’ Representatives for both companies didn’t respond to questions. On Tuesday, Michael Eisner, who was Disney’s chief executive during Harvey Weinstein’s tenure at Miramax, said he “had no idea he was capable of these horrible actions.’’ Disney purchased Miramax in 1993; the Weinstein brothers departed in 2005 to create the Weinstein Co. “Fired [the] Weinsteins because they were irresponsible, and Harvey was an incorrigible bully,” said Eisner on Twitter. Disney’s current chief, Bob Iger, also responded in a statement: “Harvey Weinstein’s reported behaviour is abhorrent and unacceptable, and it has no place in our society,” Iger said. Representatives for Weinstein did not return messages.
Three women accused Weinstein of raping them, The New Yorker reported Tuesday, including the Italian actress and filmmaker Asia Argento and a woman, Lucia Evans, who was an aspiring actress in college when he allegedly sexually assaulted her at Miramax’s Manhattan offices in 2004. The magazine also cited a third, unnamed accuser. A growing number of actresses, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Roseanna Arquette, have also made allegations of sexual harassment. The New Yorker quoted Weinstein representative Sallie Hofmeister responding that “any allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein.” Weinstein earlier apologized “for the way I’ve behaved with colleagues in the past.’’

DOWN UNDER IN KURANDA
RIDING THE RAILS ON LAND AND SKY

I
’m peoplewatching at Freshwater Station, a small railway junction a few miles away from Cairns in Queensland, Australia. The 35-degree temperature and humidity isn’t relieved by a breeze and the adjoining restaurant behind me is doing a roaring business in icecream and lemonade sales. Like the crowds of Japanese tourists milling around the station, I’m eager to board the small train which will chug me uphill through the Barron River Valley to the little town of Kuranda. According to the displays in the small museum adjacent to the station, the discovery of gold was the impetus for the development of this railway that was completed in 1891. It was no mean feat as the crew had to clear the way using their bare hands, primitive tools (by our standards today) and sheer determination to carve out 15 tunnels and engineer 98 sharp curves along rocky terrain and steep inclines. Apart from the hazardous nature of the work, mishandled explosives, snake bites, brawls, accidents and the unhealthy jungle swamp environment brought death and dis-
Board a train or the Skyrail (above) to view stunning sights, such as the Barron Valley waterfall (left). For more photos from this Travel Writers’ Tales adventure, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. MARGARET DEEFHOLTS PHOTOS

ease in their wake and an estimated 32 men died in the process of construction. The train pulls in right on time and the first part of the journey takes us through dense tropical jungle foliage. An excitable woman near me cranes out of the window and exclaims in wonder at sheer drops off the side of the track and
at the sight of the train turning caterpillarlike along high trestle bridges. Panoramic views of the towns far below in the valley flash by, the houses like toy blocks spilling across the plains. “Look, look!” my companion urges, pointing out a couple of dramatic waterfalls to me.
One is like a broad chiffon scarf tossed over the rocky hillside; the other a thin white pencil streak against dark cliffs. Kuranda is a quaint little town. It is a five-minute gentle uphill walk from the station to the main shopping area, with a flag-stoned sidewalk winding under the avenue’s shady trees. I have time before the next stage of my journey, to dawdle by stalls selling local hand made soap, perfumery, jewelry, summer cotton dresses and inexpensive souvenirs. The sunny morning is filled with the sound of bird calls and the amiable chatter of visitors. Along with a group of tourists, I embark
on the next stage of my trip — a ride through the jungle on an amphibious Army Duck vehicle. It takes off, lumbering and lurching drunkenly over the undulating rainforest pathways, creaking and groaning down the slopes and grunting as it maneuvers its awkward ascent of hillocks. The jungle growth presses close to the sides and the smell of vegetation and damp earth, thick and fetid, permeates everything. Our very knowledgeable commentator/driver pauses to point out rare plants and trees that are indigenous to Queensland, and he also shows us a poisonous plant with broad leaves which when
touched even lightly causes intense pain that can endure for a year or more. Nobody volunteers to put this information to the test. The final leg of this Kuranda trip turns out to be the biggest thrill of all. I climb aboard a green Skyrail cabin as it swings into place on a turnstile. I’m alone in the glass-walled car and as it takes off, the ground falls away and the car settles itself with a little hiccup along the steel cable. A vertiginous small drop and then a sharp rise above the dense jungle with trees looking like clumps of broccoli heads and the distant horizon a streak of bright blue sky. Above me, pillows of clouds throw drifting shadows across the landscape. The steel bands of
cable in front of me swoop up and over hills and down into valleys and I am filled with a sense of childlike exhilaration. There are two stops along the way — Red Peak and Barron Falls — where I get out to stretch my legs and stroll the elevated boardwalks. The entire journey covers 7.5 kilometres and the last 15 minutes of the 90-minute ride, brings me over a panorama of flat fields and houses. Cars, like small crawling bugs, move along threads of highway. My bus is waiting at the terminal, and I’m back down to earth both figuratively and literally, as we head into Cairns and the Sheridan hotel — my home away from home. travelwriterstales.com
