The need continues to grow DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Here’s the thing about the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund — it would be so great if we didn’t have to run it every year. It would be a wonderful day when we could say we don’t have to join with our readers, families and friends to raise money to help charities in our community. But the reality is the need continues. And, for most of the five charities we support, the need is growing. Consider the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre (KSACC). Yes, sexual harassment is big news these days, but the folks there have been dealing with not just harassment, but assaults for more than three decades. “Our services are still in as much demand as when we first opened our doors,” said executive director Charlene Eden. “In fact, the demand may be even greater now. We always have a wait list and we cannot keep up with the

demand for our services. That tells me that sexual violence is still prevalent and our service needs to still exist.” The programs KSACC offers are free, which means anyone can access them regardless of income. Eden said that means a key barrier for so many — money for counselling and other services — is taken out of the equation.

COMMUNITY SUPPORTING COMMUNITY Investing in the community to impact change through collaboration and partnerships

After a 13-year absence, the centre has brought back a sexual-assault response team that provides support, information and advocacy to people at Royal Inland Hospital who have been sexually assaulted. “We have worked hard to ensure those that need our service can easily access it,” she said. “It takes huge courage to walk in our door and we do all that we can to make it as easy as possible.” The staff and volunteers at New Life Community Kamloops experience the same reality. “In 1980, when New Life Mission [the agency’s former name] opened its doors, it dealt with mainly alcoholic men,” agency executive director Stan Dueck said. “Today, we see people of all kinds. Men. Women. Old. Young.” Dueck turns to a biblical comment when thinking about the need for his agency: “Jesus said the poor you will always have with you and that is so true.” See HELPING, A10

OD deaths continue to rise DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The BC Coroners Service said 1,103 people died in the first nine months of the year due to suspected illicit drug overdoses. A total of 982 people fatally overdosed in British Columbia in all of 2016. In Kamloops, to the end of September, there had been 33 overdose deaths. The city recorded 43 deaths in all of 2016. There were only seven such deaths in Kamloops in 2014 and 2015. The coroners service said 80 illicit drug deaths in B.C. were recorded in September alone, a 31 per cent increase over the number of death occurring in September 2016 (61). The new numbers show fentanyl has been detected in about 83 per cent of fatal overdoses this year, up 147 per cent over the same period in 2016.

In most cases, the powerful opioid painkiller was combined with other drugs, including cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. The statistics show nine out of every 10 deaths occurred indoors, with 59 per cent in private residences and 30 per cent in other inside locations. Eleven per cent of deaths occurred outside, in vehicles, sidewalks, streets and parks. Through September, Vancouver has recorded the most overdose deaths, with 281, followed by Surrey (133), Kelowna (70), Victoria (63), Nanaimo (38), Burnaby (35), Abbotsford (35) and Kamloops (33). Surrey and Victoria had the highest number of overdose deaths. No deaths were reported at supervised or drug-overdose prevention sites. More men that women died, a trend that has continued

throughout the overdose crisis declared last year by provincial health officer Perry Kendall. September saw a marked decrease in the number of drugoverdose deaths in the Interior Health region, with just five confirmed through the provincial coroners’ office. The four months prior each saw more than 20 deaths confirmed. From January to the end of September, IH recorded 185 deaths, 153 of which were linked to fentanyl. It’s a trend all health authorities experienced in September. While fentanyl was the most-common drug detected in the overdose deaths (64 per cent of deaths involved the drug), also found were cocaine (48 per cent), heroin (33 per cent), methamphetamine (32 per cent), ethyl alcohol (25 per cent), other opioids (19 per cent), other drugs (19 per cent) and methadone (nine per cent).

City looking at adding poppies to street signs honouring war veterans Some other communities have added images of the iconic red flower to signs for streets already named after a war hero JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

he family of a First World War veteran would like to see the universal symbol of remembrance hoisted above city streets. “We fully support it and I think it’s a very nice little thing to do,” Tom Vicars said.

“It’s kind of different and it’s a good way of people remembering all the time, instead of one day a year.” Vicars’ father, Desmond, served in the Great War. Following the lead of other communities across the country, the Kamloops Heritage Commission is working on adding poppies to city street signs that correspond to the names of war veterans. “I want to flesh them [veterans] out again and put them back into the community,” said Jeff Lodge, who volunteers with the commission. “I think that’s where street names could help. Get them off the Cenotaph, where they’re anonymous in a way, at this point. Because families have died and friends have died. Get them back in the community, throughout the community.” Other communities like Toronto and Richmond have adopted similar practises. Kamloops Coun. Denis Walsh, who represented council on the commission before the byelection shook up city committees, supports the idea and said costs would be minimal, save for the minor expense of revinyling signs. “Mr. Lodge has done an incredible amount of volunteer work,” Walsh said. “I don’t see this costing the City of Kamloops taxpayers much money at all.” Lodge has taken on the task of identifying which city streets match names on the Kamloops Cenotaph, researching the street name origins and tracking down families to gauge support. He said he also received permission to use the poppy, which

Mr. Lodge “ has done an

incredible amount of volunteer work. I don’t see this costing the City of Kamloops taxpayers much money at all.

”

— COUN. DENIS WALSH City of Kamloops

DESMOND VICARS is trademarked by the Royal Canadian Legion. Fifty-two streets in Kamloops match names on the Cenotaph, but they won’t all work. “There’s Wilson Street on the North Shore . . . but I don’t believe he was the same Wilson on the Cenotaph,” Lodge said. “It might be a conflict with that family, so they’re not all going to work.” Lodge wants to start with the dozen or so streets that will work, including Bostock Place (Liet. Alexander Hewitt Bostock), Dalgleish Drive (Lieut. Neil Dalgliesh) and Vicars Road (Desmond Vicars). Vicars Road in Valleyview was named for the Vicars family, when the family’s dairy farm — which once spanned as far as Shoppers Drug Mart — was subdivided. Desmond Vicars was the youngest officer to receive the Distinguished Service Order for service during the First World War. The Rocky Mountain Rangers named its armoury on

McGill Road after Tom’s grandfather, John Vicars. Tom still lives on the street and, last year, he and brother Patrick Vicars, as well as their respective partners, travelled to France to retrace their father’s steps and mark the 100th anniversary of Vimy Ridge. “It’s an eye-opener,” Tom said, noting visible bullet marks and “unknown” graves where the iconic Canadian battle took place a century ago. “A whole new appreciation.” The city offers free parking to veterans and memorials include a cairn and the Kamloops Cenotaph in Memorial Park on Battle Street, as well as Memorial Arena, downtown at 740 Victoria St. If poppied street signs are added to the ways in which Kamloops remembers, there’s a problem — not every war hero’s name has yet to be hoisted above city streets. Almost 300 veterans are listed on the Cenotaph, which means 17 per cent could be honoured today without renaming streets — assuming all 52 cases worked, which they don’t. Lodge understands the hurdles and envisions a longterm project with support from developers, who would name future city streets after veterans. That could require amending the city’s street-naming bylaw, he noted, but Walsh said that issue would have to be debated at council. One local developer, who recently purchased Tobiano golf course and is expanding west Aberdeen, likes the idea. Michael Ternier said he

would be open to naming streets after veterans, but added it might be difficult because streets often align with a theme. Aberdeen has a Scottish theme, Ternier noted, with streets named respectively after Braemar (village) and Dunrobin (castle). Newer streets, like Dunbar and Crosshill drives, fit that theme. “I think it would be difficult if they said, ‘This is the only way,’” Ternier said. Depending on how quickly the city develops, it could take some time to commemorate every veteran. Lodge wants to start now, with the first dozen or so streets like Vicars Road. “It’s going to have to be an ongoing thing, for a number of

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: City council’s decision to nix a proposed $100,000 study on parking downtown. There have been numerous studies on parking and parking-related issues in the past decade, including the 2013 Parking Equipment Technology Report, the 2012 Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s Downtown Parking Strategies Report, the 2010 Sustainable Kamloops Plan, the 2009 Lorne Street Traffic and Parking Assessment, the 2007 Kamloops Household Travel Survey and the 2005 Kamloops City Centre Plan. Surely there is enough information in those pages — and others — to tell city officials what it needs to know about parking needs downtown. And, if more information is needed, can it not be done by city staff, rather than contracted to an outside agency at a cost of six figures?

OUR

VIEW

NOT: Delays, delays and more delays in the courtrooms of Kamloops. There is no reason a case like that involving Kristopher Teichrieb should take up to two years (or longer) to come to trial. Teichrieb is the 40-year-old man charged in the June 2016 attack on teenager Jessie Simpson. Teichrieb has been in custody since June 19, 2016. It has been 510 days since his arrest and still a trial will not begin until some point next year. There are many other cases slogging their way through the justice system, whose pipes needs a generous dose of legal Drano. HOT: The soccer pitch as Thompson Rivers University hosts the Canadian university men’s soccer championship at Hillside Stadium. Eight teams, including the host WolfPack, are taking part through the weekend, with the bronze-medal match set for Sunday at 11 a.m. and the championship game hitting the field at 2 p.m. Good news is the mercury will be above freezing during tournament games.

quarter-century ago, Abbotsford had its moment of clarity with respect to drugs and gangs. After repeated denials by the city’s municipal police department that gangs were active in the Fraser Valley city, the truth was laid bare when 18-year-old Kirby Martin was shot and killed in a parking lot of a mall along the city’s main strip, South Fraser Way. His death was followed by acknowledgment from police that gangs were indeed part of life in the city and many community forums followed. Despite the forums and subsequent years of warnings about the dangers of gang life, youth in Abbotsford and beyond continued to become gangsters, with Martin’s Yale gang and the rival Countess gang spawning today’s United Nations and Red Scorpions criminal organizations. Martin was killed in September 1990 and nothing has changed in Abbotsford, which is today known as much for its regular slayings of mostly young men as for its worldfamous raspberries. Has Kamloops had its moment of clarity with respect to gangs and drug-related violence? Under a previous command, the Kamloops RCMP maintained that gangs that infested Kelowna, Vernon and the Lower Mainland had not established roots here, mainly due to intense police pressure. We later learned at least one gang, the Independent Soldiers under Kamloops leader Jayme Russell, had been here for some time. So, with the rash of gunplay in Kamloops in the past two months and shootings stretching into last

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS year, the question is on the lips of many: Is the violence linked to gangs? If so, which ones? If not, what the hell is happening in the Tournament Capital? RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller heard the chatter and held a press conference this week to discuss what appears to many to be a Wild West mentality seizing the streets. He said while many are fighting to control the drug trade, particularly in the wake of the September killing of Red Scorpions co-founder Konaam Shirzad, no gangs have established a foothold in Kamloops. Mueller expressed frustration at the speed at which those arrested are released from custody, while local politicians and others have asked whether there are enough officers stationed in the city. But here’s the stone cold fact: Longer stints in prison and more Mounties will not change what is happening. Stiffer prison sentences and beefed-up police forces have not worked during the decades-long failed war on drugs, so why are we still employing this definition of insanity when watching the bullets fly, the addictions grow and

the dealers getting richer? Sure, more cops may result in more arrests today. And tougher sentences may lead to longer prison terms tomorrow. But that will only create another vacuum so lucrative that people will literally risk their lives trying to fill it, as they have been doing for decades in B.C. and beyond. Prohibition has created wealthy bad guys since the 1920s and, until we realize prohibition is the root problem of the crime and addiction plaguing our society, no amount of uniformed men and women or prison cells will change that. Want to really attempt to stop the carnage? Decriminalize all drugs and start prescribing to users. Begin there and work into the next steps of detox and rehab. Portugal did just that in 2001 as it battled a losing war. From the Cato Institute report of 2009: “By freeing its citizens from the fear of prosecution and imprisonment for drug usage, Portugal has dramatically improved its ability to encourage drug addicts to avail themselves of treatment. The resources that were previously devoted to prosecuting and imprisoning drug addicts are now available to provide treatment programs to addicts.” A 2014 policy paper by the Canadian Centre for Addiction and Mental Health confirmed Portugal has seen a reduction in substance abuse, drug-related harm and illicit drug use by adolescents. The journey will be shaky as hell, but what do we have to lose? Can it get any worse than what we are now facing with our long outdated approach to the issue? editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TAKE TIME TO REMEMBER ON NOV. 11 Editor: Like many, each Nov. 11 I remember the loss our family endured in war. My grandmother’s older brother lies buried in Belgium, killed in action in October 1918. My uncle, a Spitfire pilot, lies in a cemetery in England. But I also have a real treasure

in my grandfather’s war diary from the Battle of the Somme. He was there, at the Battle of FlersCourcelette, on Sept. 15, 1916, when tanks were first used. Here’s his diary entry for that day: “A wonderful new machine was used for the first time today, in the history of the world. “It is a sort of armoured car,

armed with two 4-inch Hotchkiss guns and eight machine guns. The machine is like a flattened out square and has no wheels, just a continuous track. “When the Germans saw fifteen of these machines on our Canadian front, heading our charge, it scared them so stiff that our boys walked right through

them. We captured 300 prisoners and reached our objective of 1,600 yards and 400 yards extra for good measure.” The rest of his diary is a mixture of fascinating tidbits and the horror of war. Please take time to remember this on Nov. 11. Chris Kempling Kamloops

IF COUNCIL HAS SO MUCH MONEY TO BURN . . . Editor: I was delighted to see the proposed $100,000 parking study was defeated — just barely — at

Kamloops council. Does that mean some on council are finally waking up to taxpayers’ concerns regarding wasting

money? Sadly, our new mayor and new council members voted to continue wasting taxpayers money, which is

not a good sign. If council has money to burn, why not try to do something worthwhile by encouraging people

to use public transport? This can be done by providing essential shelters at more bus stops in outly-

ing areas, such as Westsyde, to protect pedestrians from the elements. Sheila Beck Kamloops

FUND STUDY ON BLOATED CITY HALL BUREAUCRACY Editor: A frequent topic of discussion among us seniors is the poor management of tax dollars by city council.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: CITY’S NUISANCE BYLAW SHOULD BE IN EFFECT BY NEXT MONTH:

“Will this bylaw include the Crossroads Inn, where a police car or an ambulance is to be seen on a weekly basis? “It is obvious that drug users live there, I am all for cheap housing for those who need it but, when the RCMP and the ambulance service are called out several times, that tells me there is a big problem. “That whole corner has become a big problem, as has the alleyway behind 7-Eleven and the boarded up building across from there.” — posted by Doreen Harrison

RE: EDITORIAL: THANK A POLICE OFFICER TODAY:

“Too often, policing is a thankless job. These men and women go into the fire when we are running out of it. “The Abbotsford shooting is an example of that. A guy shooting at civilians who wisely run. Police officers respond and one is killed.” — posted by Poleman

From A3

“In my few years here, I have seen some great work in finding housing for people, some people get their lives together and get back on their feet — and yet our homeless count remains about 100 people every year,” Dueck said. “People move away, people die from health issues, overdoses, accidents and even murders, yet our counts remain the same.” Dueck said the agency’s mission is to help each of its clients “become all they can be.” It’s not easy work trying to break the

cycle of poverty and addictions. Dueck calls it endless work because every year there are new faces, people who have fallen into poverty and its related mental-health issues because of events like job loss, divorce or illness.

Amid opioid crisis, private detox option emerges in city DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Charlene Yow has seen how substanceuse health issues have grown through the years. A registered nurse for more than two decades, she has worked in needleexchange programs and on a 20-bed inpatient detox clinic. She has worked with patients on withdrawal management, identifying pathways to health they can follow. Yow knows about the wait lists for agencies and hospitals providing detox services — and the fact that route isn’t right for everyone. It was through her work that she met a patient who inspired her to create Private Medical Detox. Yow was working in Vancouver and met a fourth-year undergraduate student at a post-secondary institution, a woman who also worked at the university — and who was using heroin every day. “She knew she had to stop but she didn’t want to people to know,” Yow said. For many people — high-profile individuals, business owners or people who don’t want to remain on a long wait list — the public system might not be the route to take. Yow returned to Kamloops and, working with doctors Rob Baker and Ruth Farren, set up her service for people 19 or older who don’t want to go to a hospital, treatment centre or detox unit, but do the work to shake their addiction at home.

It’s not for everyone, Yow said. During the first intake, in addition to medical and health questions, a potential patient is assessed for the stability of their daily life. They need to have a setting where they can go through the detox that is safe for them and the medical staff helping them. Questions are asked to determine the substance-use history and any past attempts at withdrawal and the complications that may have come with them. The information is essential, Yow said, noting there are no guidelines to predict who will have serious complications during detox. Once accepted, the patient will meet with others on the medical team to work out the final details — an agreement with the terms and conditions for the services. The fee for the service is discussed, an amount Yow said is much less than the $1,700 daily cost to the health-care system a stay in a hospital entails. On average, detox that takes a patient to a stable condition can take up to seven days But, as with all health issues, the timetable can vary depending on the individual, the degree of illness and their commitment to regaining health. Essentially, detox follows a plan for safe withdrawal from alcohol or opiates. That plan includes 24-hour medical supervision, nursing care and connecting the patient with any necessary support services. Medications are used that can prevent or treat withdrawal symptoms and help the patient stay sober. For opiate with-

drawal, those drugs could include methadone, Suboxone or clonidine. Vital signs and other withdrawal assessments are made, with blood pressure, pulse, respiration and body temperature measured regularly throughout the detox period. Those can also assist in monitoring any pre-existing medical conditions that could be exacerbated by the withdrawal process. Other issues that can crop up during detox include nutrition, hydration and sleep disturbances. Medication and nonmedication interventions can be used to address those situations. Key to the program is after-care. It’s important for the patient to understand withdrawal doesn’t mean the addiction is gone forever, Yow said. “It’s a process. It’s how to live now,” she said. “That means changing things in their life and to understand relapse is part of the program. You can’t really tell them to not use again. They know they can’t, but some will try again and end up back in detox.” • Yow will take people behind the scenes of detox on Tuesday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. at the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, 615 Victoria St., To register for the free session, email pmdkamloops@ gmail.com. Next week is also Addictions Awareness Week in Canada. Theme for the week, sponsored by the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, is Words Matter, focusing on how language stigmatizes substance use and can act as a barrier to recovery.

Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur,

an up-and-coming business looking to grow or an established business looking to sell — if you’re a woman in

business, there’s a B.C. organization that might be able to help you out. On Nov. 23, Danielle Hofer will be at the Kamloops business development summit LinkUp on behalf of the Women’s Enterprise Centre, where she will be on the event’s financing panel to talk about loans available through her organization. Hofer, the organization’s administration, client services and events co-ordinator, said the centre can not only help women decide if entrepreneurship is right for them, but also provide funding and help businesses plan for growth. The centre also provides skills training and access to mentors. Any woman in the province who controls at least 51 per cent of a business is eligible to apply for loans up to $150,000. Last year, the centre disbursed $2.1 million in loans, 73 per cent of which went to recipients who wanted to expand their business. The centre also hosted nearly 1,800 workshop participants last year in the 56 workshops it held across the province. One of this year’s workshops will be right here in the River City. In January, Kamloops will be host to a peer mentoring workshop called Taking the Stage, where participants can learn how to achieve a confident leadership presence in business. “It’s all about helping women identify ways to be more confident in their communication style and to take the business or corporate stage when there’s an opportunity to do so,” Hofer said. For budding women entrepreneurs looking to get off the ground, Hofer advised doing as much research as pos-

sible before diving in. “Look at all the programs available to you. There are so many resources out there,” she said. “Just be open to the process and not starting right away. We will help you get to that ready-to-launch point,” LinkUp: Kamloops Business Development Summit is in its second year and will feature 19 organizations sharing information about their services to local business owners. “What we do is bring as many of the resources that are available to business into one place on one day so business owners can hear from all of them and decide whether they have something to offer,” said Jim Anderson, Venture Kamloops executive director. The one-day event will be broken up into four seminars on financing, provincial and federal support, community support and grant funding, with a keynote address by architect Melissa Higgs in the middle. “The theme we wanted to convey this year is the spirit of collaboration, and there are tons of opportunities for businesses to work together on things, to share ideas — there are all sorts of ways to collaborate, and that’s the message Melissa brings,” Anderson said. In between the seminars and speakers will be tradeshow-style networking breaks where business owners and support organizations can connect directly. The event will take place on Thursday, Nov. 23, at the Coast Kamloops Conference Centre at 1250 Rogers Way in Kamloops. Tickets are available online at www.venturekamloops.com/ link-up.

Police make major bust with links to organized crime Drugs seized, nine arrrests made; suspects linked to mob THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Nine people from southern Ontario with alleged ties to organized crime in the United States have been arrested in a major weapons and drug bust, the RCMP announced Thursday. Authorities seized six kilograms of fentanyl and carfentanil, one kilogram of heroin, more than 20 kilograms of cocaine, more than 250,000 tablets of controlled substances, including methamphetamine, about three million cigarettes and several gaming machines, the force said. RCMP Supt. Chris Leather said the four-year investigation — dubbed Project Otremens — involved the RCMP, Ontario Provincial Police, the Canada Border Services Agency, the FBI, and the municipal police forces of Toronto and Peel and York regions. The nine people were arrested in raids conducted in the

Toronto area, Leather said, and five others are being sought on Canada-wide warrants. RCMP said dealing with the trafficking of fentanyl and carfentanil is a top priority. Fentanyl, an opioid that is 100 times more potent than herion, has been blamed for the growing overdose crisis across Canada and in many American states. “Even more powerful substitutes are beginning to appear,’’ Leather said. “Shipments of carefentanil and W18, which are both 100 times stronger than fentanyl, have recently been seized by police in Canada.’’ Leather said the accused are linked to crime families operating in New York, and several people were arrested there by the FBI for related offences. The FBI has been conducting a parallel but separate investigation, the RCMP said, focusing on members of the Bonanno and Gambino families.

ASK A

The RCMP said the investigation demonstrated the ability of those in organized crime to corrupt people in positions of public trust. Wojciech Grzesiowki of Innisfil, Ont., who is one of the men police say is at large and a “well-known’’ organized crime member, allegedly convinced a Toronto police civilian employee to make “queries’’ of police databases for him and his organization. Erin Maranan, the subject of a 2016 Toronto police investigation into police corruption, now faces 20 counts of breach of trust for database queries, RCMP said in a statement. Leather said the people arrested appeared in a Milton, Ont., court Thursday for bail hearings. They face a combined total of 75 charges, including participating in a criminal organization, conspiracy to import a controlled substance and trafficking firearms.

In no rush on TPP, Poppy PM dismisses reports doughnuts of ‘deal in principle’ spur online TIM HORTONS

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — Canada won’t be pressured into prematurely signing a deal on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday as his Liberal government flatly denied media reports of a “deal in principle’’ on the Pacific Rim trade pact. The 11 remaining TPP economies, including Canada, have been trying to salvage the deal after U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out earlier this year. But Trudeau’s remarks, along with signals from government insiders, suggest the Liberals — who are currently preoccupied with rescuing NAFTA — hope to avoid making any hurried commitments on the treaty during this week’s APEC meetings in Danang. “We’re not going to sign a deal just because we feel pressured into a signing a deal — we’re going to make sure that it’s right for Canada and it’s right for the world,’’ Trudeau said during an armchair discussion in front of 1,200 students at Ton

Duc Thang University in Ho Chi Minh City. “We’re in no rush to do that, so we’re going to take our time and look carefully at the negotiations.’’ Trudeau is scheduled to meet Friday in Danang with his counterparts from the other TPP countries, where they will also take part in the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit. A media report surfaced Thursday citing the Japanese economy minister as saying that the pact’s remaining countries had agreed in principle on a way to proceed with the TPP — a report that was quickly quashed by International Trade Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne. “Despite reports, there is no agreement in principle on TPP,’’ Champagne tweeted. Trudeau, who insisted he’s a strong supporter of free trade as long as it benefits everyone, also gave a lengthy explanation on why the updated TPP should contain more robust protections for culture through exemptions. “Culture is more than just an economic good,’’ he said.

CALGARY — The general manager of the Calgary Poppy Fund and Veterans’ Food Bank says he hopes no one gets in big trouble over poppy-emblazoned doughnuts that were sold at a local Tim Hortons. “It was all good intentions, I understand. Nobody was out to hurt anybody,’’ John Rathwell said Thursday. The doughnuts, with petals made from red sprinkles surrounding a circle of what appears to be jelly, caused a social media stir after an image of them was posted on the popular Calgary Twitter account @Crackmacs. “How incredibly insensitive and short-sighted,’’ one Twitter user responded. Others chimed in to say the move did not sit well and it was not appropriate to cash in on Remembrance Day. The Tim Hortons franchise declined to comment.

Lebanese PM’s fate in doubt amid Saudi-Lebanon escalation ZEINA KARAM BAMMEM MROUE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — President Donald Trump set aside World News his blistering rhetoric in favour of friendly overtures to China on Thursday, trying to flatter his hosts into establishing a more balanced trade relationship and doing more to blunt North Korea’s nuclear ambitions. Winding down his two days in Beijing, Trump suggested the U.S. and China jointly take on the world’s problems. “I believe we can solve almost all of them, and probably all of them,” he said. The Chinese rolled out a lavish welcome for the American president during his stop. Trump returned the kindness, heaping praise on China’s Xi Jinping and predicting the two powers would work around entrenched differences.

BEIRUT — Saudi Arabia on Thursday ordered its citizens out of Lebanon in its first concrete action against the Mediterranean country, while officials in Beirut demanded the immediate return of Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who abruptly announced his resignation last week in a television appearance from the kingdom, where he has been holed up since. The developments were the latest twist in the saga of Hariri, whose fate increasingly resembled a bizarre mysterythriller that has gripped his nation and sent tensions soaring with Saudi Arabia. With the Lebanese govern-

BRIEFS

Pope seeks to defuse Korea tensions VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis is seeking to defuse rising nuclear tensions on the Korean peninsula and to boost support for disarmament with a Vatican conference that will bring together 11 Nobel Peace Prize winners, United Nations and NATO officials, and representatives from a handful of countries with the bomb. For some analysts, Francis’ address at the gathering Friday will provide a welcome break in the heated war of words between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as Trump continues his first trip to Asia as president. The Vatican hopes the conference will do more by further discrediting the Cold War-era idea that atomic weapons serve a purpose for deterrence and global security.

Syria, Russia slammed over weapons THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Syria and its close ally Russia faced harsh criticism on Thursday at a meeting of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons following an investigation that blamed Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime for a sarin attack that killed about 100 people in April. At a closed-doors meeting of the chemical weapons watchdog’s executive council, U.S. representative Kenneth D. Ward said that Russia “continues to deny the truth and, instead, collaborates with the Assad regime in a deplorable attempt to discredit’’ the joint U.N.-OPCW investigation. Russia has denounced the results of the investigation into the attack in the town of Khan Sheikhoun. It also vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution to renew the mandate of the Joint Investigative Mechanism, which expires this month.

May fills cabinet post after resignation LONDON — Prime Minister Theresa May named a strong proponent of Brexit as Britain’s new international development secretary on Thursday, replacing a cabinet minister forced out over unauthorized meetings with Israeli officials. Penny Mordaunt was promoted from the work and pensions department to the job overseeing Britain’s foreign aid as secretary of state for international development, as May was forced to make the second change in days to her fractious Cabinet lineup. Mordaunt’s predecessor, Priti Patel, quit Wednesday after revelations she had held unauthorized meetings with Israeli officials.

ment in limbo, officials in Beirut said they haven’t heard from Hariri since he departed for Saudi Arabia last week. Hariri’s own Future Movement party called for his immediate return home for the “dignity of the nation.’’ In his pre-recorded resignation speech on Saturday, Hariri accused Iran and its Lebanese proxy, the Shiite militant Hezbollah, of meddling in regional affairs and holding Lebanon hostage. The move shattered his year-old coalition government and stunned the Lebanese, including some of Hariri’s aides who had no advance warning that he intended to resign. Beyond a phone call on Saturday informing President Michael Aoun of his resigna-

tion, Hariri has not made contact with Lebanese officials. Aoun has said he would not accept the resignation until Hariri returns to the country and explains the circumstances of his decision to step down. Late Wednesday night, Hariri’s private plane took off from Riyadh and flew back to Beirut — and Lebanese breathlessly awaited his arrival, only to discover he wasn’t on board. The intrigue has thrown the tiny nation in turmoil. It also seemed, ironically, to have united the Lebanese in their resentment of Saudi Arabia’s aggressive stance, which many see as an affront. “How can they hold a prime minister?’’ asked a Hariri supporter in Beirut

who gave only his first name, Abed, saying he feared retaliation for his comments. He said he was at a loss to know what to think, adding that if it turns out that the Saudis were indeed holding Hariri under house arrest “then they have humiliated the whole country by doing this.’’ On Thursday, Hariri’s Future Movement party delivered its sharpest rebuke yet over Hariri’s absence, demanding that he be returned home immediately — the clearest sign so far that it believes he is being held by the Saudis against his will. The Riyadh government, meanwhile, after days of levelling threats against Beirut, ordered all Saudis living in or visiting Lebanon to depart “immediately.’’

The DisGrace in Zimbabwe politics

race Mugabe, second wife of Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, had a moment of awful clarity about her future three years ago. Speaking about Joice Mujuru, the woman who was then vice-president and the elderly president’s likely successor, Grace Mugabe said: “She has been telling people that once Mugabe is gone . . . she will drag me in the streets, with people laughing while my flesh sticks to the tarmac.” It’s doubtful Mujuru said any such thing, but it was revealing about Grace Mugabe’s fears. So she had a word with her husband and Mujuru was no longer vicepresident. She was replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa, who served as Mugabe’s special assistant during the liberation war of the 1970s and had been close to him ever since. Mnangagwa survived an attempted poisoning in August, but now he is gone, too. People began to see him as the heir apparent, so last weekend Grace Mugabe told a rally in Harare, where she said, “The snake must be hit on the head. We must deal with the real snake behind the factions and discord in the party.” On Monday, Mnangagwa was fired in an official statement that accused him of “traits of disloyalty.” It was almost verbatim the same

statement that and expensive was issued when shopping trips Mujuru was disabroad — she missed in 2014.

Am I not Zimbabwean?” And president she will be after Robert Mugabe dies — at least for a week or two. But she has made a lot of enemies in the party and has no real popular support. She will probably have a couple of years to build a political machine of her own because Robert Mugabe is planning to run for president again next year, when he will, of course, win. But he would be 99 years old when his next term expires and he is likely to expire himself well before that. Grace Mugabe is, literally, a bare-knuckle fighter. In 2002, she beat up a journalist who offended her by using a “knuckle-duster of diamond rings,” as one report described it. Just this past September, she assaulted a young South African “model” caught visiting her grown sons, who are both living the high life in Johannesburg. Grace Mugabe won’t go down easily, but she almost certainly will go down. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose columns are published in 45 countries.

BLAZERS TO BID ON 2020 MEMORIAL CUP MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

erhaps the Kamloops Blazers’ return to glory will materialize on the 25th anniversary of their last Memorial Cup

victory. Majority owner Tom Gaglardi and a plethora of dignitaries made it official at Sandman Centre on Thursday: The Blazers are going all out in their bid for the 2020 Memorial Cup. “It’s a massive deal to host a Memorial Cup,” Gaglardi said. “We haven’t seen it in B.C. for a while [2007, Vancouver]. It could be our turn here. There is a bit of a desire, I believe, to see a city the size of Kamloops host. “It’s easy to put the Memorial Cup into big cities, but we always talk about the fact that we don’t want to lose our way. We still have to get back and support the medium-sized cities, as well.” None of the last four WHL hosts for the Memorial Cup were Western Conference teams, which certainly doesn’t hurt the Blazers’ chances. The 2018 tournament will be held in Regina. The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League will host in 2019. The local major-junior club announced the formation of an advisory board in January, a group of business-minded individuals led by Blazers’ president Don Moores and chairman Norm Daley, the bid wizard whose exploits include leading the charge in bringing to Kamloops the 2014 Brier and 2016 World Women’s Hockey Championship. “I like to handicap things and I like to think we’re the frontrunners,” Daley said, noting he has

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Kamloops Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi announced his club is bidding to host the 2020 Memorial Cup

heard rumblings Everett and Victoria may launch opposing bids for 2020. “It’s going to take us four to six months to put this bid together. We want people to know that we’re going to be coming and asking for support.” To host a press conference the magnitude of the one held on Mark Recchi Way on Thursday to announce a bid — and to do it this early — signals the club and the City of Kamloops mean business. Teams have until March to throw hats in the ring. The bidding process will run through next summer, with a decision likely to be made next October. “The advisory board said let’s get after it,” Blazers’ general manager Stu MacGregor said, noting the 1995 Memorial Cup

in Kamloops transformed the tournament into a major national television event. “Let’s be out there front and centre and be the first ones to tell people what our intentions are.” Sandman Centre was a key piece to the Blazers’ successful bid in 1995, then Riverside Coliseum and only three years old. The rink is no longer among the WHL’s best buildings. Announcements on upgrades were made on Thursday, including a new LED lighting system, along with retrofitted boards and glass to improve safety, and loge seating. Daley and Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian made the case that most of the rink-related hard yards have already been gained, a new scoreboard purchased and

infrastructure improved to make national broadcasts possible for the Brier and women’s worlds. “The crews that come through, TSN and CBC, they always remark at how good a shape this arena is for its age,” Daley said. “They can’t believe it’s that old.” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay acknowledged the possibility of a swan-song Memorial Cup victory in 2020 — one that would jettison him into retirement and cement his already iron-clad legacy — has popped into his mind. “That would be a great way to end a coaching career, no doubt about it,” said Hay, 63, who was the head coach in Kamloops for national titles in 1994 and 1995. “I remember seeing the stands full and the ‘Go Blazers Go!’ chant in 1995. You just felt that you were

DiScOVER cHEVROlET’S iNNOVaTiVE liNEup iT’S wORTH waiTiNg iN liNE FOR.

unbeatable. You couldn’t be beat. But there’s lots of time between now and then and there’s going to be other bids.” It was not too early to start asking hypothetical roster questions. Kamloops, which has steadied the ship in 2017-2018 after a horrid 0-9 start, is high on what it has in the cupboard, with its 16- and 17-year-old players. “We like our 15-year-old group, too,” Gaglardi said. “We’ve got a couple good draft years there. We’ve got some older assets now. This season hasn’t started the way we wanted it to. We’ll watch it, manage it. “If you’re preparing for a Memorial Cup, you might manage your hockey club a little differently.” Top of mind for any Blazers’ fan will be what a successful host bid might mean to wrangling the club’s first-round pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, Massimo Rizzo, a blue-chip prospect. Rizzo, who would be 18 in 2020, has not signed with the major-junior squad and is spending his 16-year-old campaign playing for the Penticton Vees in the junior A B.C. Hockey League. “He’s a player that should be playing in the Western Hockey League and I believe he will be,” Gaglardi said. “That’s my personal view.” Added Hay: “We have a good group of 16s and 17s, led by Connor Zary (16). Obviously, Massimo Rizzo would really help that group and that [the Memorial Cup] would be a good perk to look at to come here and help us have success and lead us to a Memorial Cup win.” Remi Rizzo, Massimo’s father, was unable to be reached before deadline on Thursday.

WOODLAND WAITING ON TEAM CANADA DECISION

Saturday November 11 7 pm

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church 5th and Douglas, Kamloops, BC Admission by donation

Kendra Woodland has staked her claim. The 17-year-old goaltender from Kamloops put up commendable numbers between the pipes and won bronze with Team B.C. at the National Women’s Under-18 Hockey Championship in Quebec City on Sunday. B.C. earned a 2-1 victory over Saskatchewan in the bronze-medal game, scoring with about four minutes remaining in a 10-minute 4-on-4 overtime period. “I don’t think I’ve ever skated so fast from one end of the ice to the other,” said Woodland, who will play on scholarship next season with the University of New Brunswick Varsity Reds. “It was a really good feeling to celebrate that.” The national tournament gave Hockey Canada brass one final look on a big stage at the crop of players vying to crack the Canadian roster for the U18 World Women’s Hockey Championship, which runs from Jan. 6 to Jan. 13 in Dmitrov, Russia. Woodland played the most minutes of any goalie at the national championship, posting a 3-1 record, one shutout, a 1.63 goals-against average (GAA) and .928 save percentage. “She’s a really good goaltender,” said Delaney Collins, head coach of the U18 women’s national team. “That’s why she’s under consideration. “She represented her province very well at nationals. I had a chance to work with her in the summer and see her again last week and she did really well.” Collins was hesitant to say too much, as the roster announcement for worlds has not yet been made.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

With a good showing at nationals, Kendra Woodland of Kamloops improved her chances of playing for Team Canada at the under-18 World Women’s Hockey championship, which runs from Jan. 6 to Jan. 13 in Dmitrov, Russia.

Woodland, a Westsyde secondary student, was one of three goalies chosen for Canada’s roster for a three-game series against the U.S. in August in Lake Placid, N.Y., along with Madelyn McArthur of St. Catharines, Ont., and Halle Oswald of Sanford, Man. Getting the call for that series was a good sign for any player trying to wear the Maple Leaf in Russia. Woodland was over the moon about the opportunity to play for Canada against the Stars and Stripes, but never saw the ice. The U.S. swept Canada 3-0. “It was definitely hard to go through at the time, but it was really motivation to just think, ‘You know what, I’m going to show you guys I could have played, I should have played,’” Woodland said on Tuesday during a break from school. “It was my role. It was unfortunate. I hope I’m going to be able to go to Russia.” Collins said Kamloops fans

should not read into Woodland’s absence from the ice during the Canada-U.S. series. “There are a lot of factors that go into decision-making,” Collins said. “I know it was good to have Kendra there.” Canada is expected to bring three goalies to worlds. Collins will face the ire of hockey fans in Kamloops if Woodland is left off the team. McArthur, who played in three games against the U.S. in August, backstopped a dominant Ontario Red team to gold at nationals, posting a 3-0 record, .067 GAA and .973 save percentage. Oswald played in two games for outmatched Manitoba at the Canadian championship, recording a 3.56 GAA and .887 save percentage. But those three goalies were not the only ones being watched by Canadian adjudicators. Logan Angers of Winnipeg, Kate Stuart of Chilliwack and Michelle Thibault of

Sherbrooke, Que., attended a Hockey Canada strength and condition camp in the spring and a selection camp for the CanadaU.S. series before being cut. Of those three, Angers had the best showing at nationals, playing in two games for Manitoba and posting a 2.07 GAA and .926 save percentage. “Everybody is still on the radar,” said Woodland, whose club team is the midget tier 1 boys Thompson Zone Blazers. “Everyone has a chance. “All the goalies that were invited to Hockey Canada are all pretty even. It’s all competition. I just put my mind to it and want to be better every day.” Woodland is not sure when the final decision will be made, but expects it to come down later this month. “It’s all very confidential,” Woodland said, noting she did not speak to Collins in Quebec City. “I just tried to be the best I can be to make the decision easier.”

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

There is no guidebook for what Cassie Gardner is living through. She is basking in all the joys and challenges that come with early motherhood, while dealing with constant reminders her husband is not around to dote on their daughter, Yael James Gardner, who was born on Oct. 31. “I’ve theoretically looked at having my baby, our baby, without Sebastian here, but it’s a totally different thing to be actually doing it,” said Cassie, who lost Sebastian to cancer on March 26. “I feel really well supported by my community and my family and Sebastian’s family, but there is some loneliness that creeps in when you think of what could have been or what it would look like to insert Sebastian into the situation now, especially with a little daughter. He would be a total puddle. So I do feel the loss for her and I.” Sebastian was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in January of 2012 and fought the disease valiantly until his death. The couple, married in 2013, experienced the elation of a cancer-free diagnosis in July 2012 and the terror of its return in January 2013. Sebastian did everything within his means to fight back — chemotherapy, diet changes, a bone marrow transplant and stem-cell treatment — and relied on his Christian faith, family, friends and Cassie for support. Cassie and Sebastian, both of whom played soccer for the TRU WolfPack, decided to try for a baby. “She was very carefully considered,” Cassie said. “We knew the possibilities. We just stopped putting this on hold and went for what we wanted. This isn’t ideal, but it’s a good Option B, I guess.” The couple had a tough time agreeing on a name for their unborn child, but Yael was one they both loved. “It’s Hebrew for mountain goat,” Cassie explained, noting they also liked the way the name sounds. “They can climb frickin’ steep walls and do really hard things. “That’s kind of the mantra right now — we can do hard things together.

On Monday, Nov. 6, at approximately 3 p.m., a woman walked into a North Kamloops liquor store and wandered around for a while. Once she felt no one was looking, she proceeded to pilfer a bottle of liquor. She is white, has dark hair and was wearing a pink top under a grey jacket and black boots. If you recognize this suspect, contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TI{S (8477) or going online to kamloopscrimestoppers.ca.

THEFT OF TOOLS IN DALLAS Seb and Cassie Gardner (top) married in 2013. On Oct. 31, Cassie gave birth to their daughter, Yael James Gardner.

“I feel that with my daughter and I, and with the support of our community, we can do hard things together.” Cassie described Yael as a dreamboat baby and said the likeness to her father is uncanny. “Sometimes I feel like I’m nursing my husband,” she said with a laugh. “She resembles both of us. It’s so cool. I thought I’d have to have a boy to see Sebastian, but that’s definitely not the case.” The family plans to be in Kamloops this week for the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship, which wraps up on Sunday. TRU players wear armbands to honour Seb. “To see people still carrying on his legacy and considering him and finding inspiration from what he went through, it really does buoy me,” Cassie said. “The program has been outstanding. “We’re doing pretty outstandingly. We’ve got some grief and hormonal stuff happening and we have some moments, but mostly things are quite well.”

On Sunday, Nov. 5, at 4:20 a.m., two males broke into a Dallas business. Once inside, the two burglars stole a large amount of work tools and took off in a full size white Chevrolet 3500 four-door crew-cab pickup truck with a flat deck, dually tires, an unknown company logo on the door and lights on top. The thieves took power tools and other tools, all of which were marked with burgundy spray paint. If you know who has these tools with the identifier on them or

if you recognize the vehicle, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your efforts may be rewarded.

FRAUDULENT USE OF A CREDIT CARD On Friday, Nov. 3, a vehicle was broken into and a wallet from inside was taken. Later on that same day, a credit card from the stolen wallet was used at a convenience store in Kamloops by a female. She is white, has dark hair and was wearing a grey and black coat with a shoulder bag. If you know who this suspect is, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Remember, we just want the information, not your name.

Newly crowned middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre says he will discuss his fighting future with the UFC after a planned vacation. Right now his contract has him fighting interim middleweight title-holder Robert Whittaker next. “But a lot of things can happen in MMA. You see things change all the time,’’ St-Pierre told a media conference call Thursday. The 36-year-old from Montreal said he is going on holiday “to forget about fighting.’’ “It’s not my job to think about that, it’s [for] the UFC and my agent. They’re going to talk about it and see what the next move is.’’ The middleweight pecking order changed with the return of St-Pierre, who moved up a weight class to take on Michael Bisping. The 185pound landscape changed even more when St-Pierre, in his first fight in four years, submitted Bisping in the third round of Saturday’s UFC 217 main event at Madison Square Garden. St-Pierre said he wasn’t sure what his future might hold, although he suggested the answer might be coming in a few weeks. He did say he would not hold up the middleweight division. “I don’t plan to hold the title and not defend it . . . I know there’s other guys in M O W S

Penn and Conor McGregor as the only fighters to win UFC titles in two weight classes. The 26-year-old Whittaker (20-4-0) won the interim 185-pound title in June with a unanimous decision over Yoel Romero at UFC 213. Bisping was

injured at the time. St-Pierre (26-2-0) had not fought since making his ninth straight welterweight title defence at UFC 167 on Nov. 16, 2013, when he scored a narrow split decision over Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks. St-Pierre said the big change was that Saturday night he wanted to be under the spotlight. “When I left the sport more than four years ago, I was in a bad place mentally. I was not having fun. I was having fun Saturday, I mean having fun to a certain extent because you get hit in the head . . . I did this because I wanted to, not because I had to.’’ St-Pierre held the conference call because he did not attend the post-fight news conference. He said he had to go to hospital immediately after the fight because he had taken an errant elbow to the back of

the head — which is not legal — in the first round. “When I got hit, I got kind of a flashknockdown a little bit,’’ he said. “I got a very bad inflammation in my neck and I couldn’t really move my head much. Especially at the end when I cooled down after the fight, it was terrible. I couldn’t even tie up my shoes. It was very bad. I didn’t know what it was.’’ “Now it’s still sore, but it got a lot better,’’ he added. “I got treatment on it. I’ll be back 100 per cent pretty soon. St-Pierre rated his performance a ‘B,’ saying he could have done more on the ground against Bisping (318-0). The neck injury didn’t help, he noted. “Michael Bisping did a great job,’’ he said, complimenting the Brit for his footwork and strategy. “The fight was very different than I thought it was going to be from his part.’’

Happy 70 th Anniversary

Blazers’ parttime assistant coach Aaron Keller is from Kamloops, like Hay. He joined his hometown team’s blue line the season following its first Memorial Cup win in 1992. “It sent a huge jolt through our entire locker room,” Keller said. “This will be the first they [the current Blazers] hear of it. “I absolutely do hope that they get a jolt from it and they’re hungry to grow and improve. I would assume every single one of them would

The Memorial Cup bid has potential to end its dormancy. “There’s a lot going for us, with the 25th anniversary and the fact that we have enough of a runway with some of the younger players in the organization that we can be ultra-competitive,” Gaglardi said. “We have a real good chance of winning this thing.”

FAITH

Deacon Stephen, the first martyr of the cross

s we commemorate another Remembrance Day this weekend, our hearts and thoughts rightly go back to the sacrifice the fallen men and women made years ago. In order to jog our memories so that we do not forget, the annual ceremonies have come to defend not wars, but the celebration of freedom from wars and longing for peace. Monuments have been erected all over the world in honour of dead soldiers who still inspire us to lead sacrificial lives and pay unselfish devotion to liberty. There is another monument that offers spiritual freedom to burdened souls everywhere. Its shape is that of a cross. Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Lord Jesus Christ hung there, his body bruised and his arms outstretched. Those who saw the awful scene must have been repelled by it. Yet from that cross an invitation continues to come to poor tired masses who languish in spiritual bondage. The one who suffered there was more than a symbol of lib-

erty. By dying in our ness led to grace and place, he purchased grace led to power. our real freedom The first two, faith from the penalty and and fullness, have to the power of sin. do with a man’s relaIt is his example tionship with God. that inspired the first The second two, Christian “soldier” of grace and power, the cross to lay down have to do with his his life. relationship with His name was people.

in a crisis because of what he is in the ordinary things? We all want to be someone exceptional. But God wants us to be exceptional in the humdrum place. For that we need the fullness of God’s blessing in our daily routines. But even this gracious man Stephen — full of power in the grace of God — escaped nothing of storm. One day he stood up to make his defence before his enemies. They interrupted him, sneered and snarled at him and hurled stones at him. In the midst of it all, he must have felt almost deserted. As the stones crashed round about him, Stephen, still full of the holy spirit, “looked steadfastly up into heaven and he saw . . . Jesus standing at the right hand of the throne in heaven,” as it is recorded on the pages. The Gospels tell us that after his death, Christ was received in heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. But as Stephen was going through literally hell on earth, he looked into the face of his Lord. He saw Jesus standing up to welcome him into the glories

of heaven. In that hour of testing and of trial, God gave to that man a clear vision of Jesus Christ. Thus the first “soldier” of the cross died and was immediately transported to heaven. As the first martyr of the church, Stephen still challenges us today to sacrifice everything for Jesus — even our very lives. By his death, Stephen still echoes the words of the Isaac Watts of the hymn Am I a Soldier of the Cross?, a part of which reads: “Must I be carried to the skies, On flow’ry beds of ease While others fought to win the prize, And sailed thru bloody seas? Sure I must fight if I would reign, Increase my courage, Lord I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy Word.” ryanmitra225@gmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you.

Time speeds on Six years have gone. Lonely is our home without you, Life to me is not the same; All this world would be like Heaven, Just to have you back again.

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 everyday, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again.

Your Loving Wife Forever

You will remain forever in our hearts, Elke, Nicole, Krista, Hayes Sr. and Hayes Jr.

Gautam was a fiercely loving husband and father, a ridiculously doting grandfather and a proud and loyal Kamloopsian. He enthusiastically embraced many of the fine things in life - ice cream, single malt, cute children, good music, bad jokes - and was compassionate and generous to an extreme. He will be keenly missed, and always remembered. In keeping with his wishes, Gautam was cremated privately; no public service or memorial will be held. In lieu of sending flowers, please consider making a donation in his name to the “Iccha/ Wish Fund” of the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends. We will find comfort and peace in our memories of his love for family, art, the outdoors, gardening and travel. He will be fondly remembered for his love of painting with Shayla. A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.

Q. Double Disposition? A. We have an odd law in BC. Upon death, the law says that the body must be “disposed of.” This can be by burial or cremation. But after cremation the executor has control of ‘disposing’ of the ashes (e.g. scatter, bury, place on mantle). Hence, “double disposition!”

TURN AGAIN TO LIFE If I should die and leave you here a while, be not like others sore undone, who keep long vigil by the silent dust. For my sake turn again to life and smile, nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine. Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine and I perchance may therein comfort you.

OH GREAT SPIRIT Oh Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers But to be able to fight my greatest enemy — myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset My spirit will come to you without shame.

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!

South Kamloops secondary art student Erica Van Dok created this colourful piece after digging into the Kamloops Museum and Archives. Van Dok and her classmates created artwork that will be featured in a calendar, with proceeds going to the school’s art program. Other students who contributed include: Lexi Chiba (top right, down), Halle Niemela, Kysia Tindall and Niya Ligtenberg.

Fundraiser calendar filled with student art inspired by Kamloops history DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

very year, Lisa Yamaoka’s art students create works that become a calendar they sell to raise money for their program. This year, the project began with a trip to the Kamloops Museum and

Archives for the South Kamloops secondary students to learn about the importance of local history, key for the calendar theme of Stories That Live in the Present. The students were told to find inspiration from what they learned at the museum that would help them “capture the unique

and richly diverse community voices of the region,” Yamaoka said. Narrowing down the collective works to 14 for the calendar fell to a jury composed of Keely Bland of the museum, School District 73 arts co-ordinator Christian Gauley and South Kamloops secondary vice-principals

Peter Persad and Michelle Mattes. The works are on display in the lobby of Sagebrush Theatre, where a community reception will be held on Monday, Nov. 23, at 6:30 p.m. The art will remain on display to Nov. 28. The calendars and cards also featuring student art are on sale

at the Kamloops Art Gallery, 465 Victoria St., The Art We Are, 246 Victoria St., the museum, 207 Seymour St., and the school, 821 Munro St. Money raised goes into a fund with the B.C. Interior Community Foundation to support other visual-arts programs at the school.

arts&entertainment KTW reporter promotes diversity with new podcast network, audio drama SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops This Week reporter is behind an ominous new podcast on a podcast network she helped found, created out of the need for diversity. Andrea Klassen is one of six people behind the Procyon Podcast Network and the writer and producer for Station to Station, one of the networks first three audio drama podcasts. “We technically call it a horror show, though it’s really more like a creepy conspiracy seasonone X-Files kind of thing,” Klassen said. Created by Alex Yun, the Station to Station podcast follows biochemist Miranda Quan, who is about to embark on a high arctic research cruise. After being out of contact for months, her usual lab partner has now also failed to show up for the cruise and Quan has found a series of concerning recordings and notebooks. As she goes through what her partner has left, she begins to question why he sounds so strange and out of character, why she can’t picture his face and why she can’t remember working with him. Klassen said one theme of the show is about trusting your memory. “What do you trust about yourself when the thing you use as the bedrock of your identity starts to unravel?” Klassen said. In addition to Station to Station, the Procyon Podcast Network also hosts shows The Strange Case of Starship Iris, a sci-fi mystery thriller, and Under Pressure, a slice-of-life show about life aboard an underwater research station set in the near future.

The network was founded by a group of six geographically disconnected people, all of whom are women or noncisgendered. They connect online, using Skype and the team chat app Slack. The group is spread across six time zones and four countries, including Canada, both sides of the Atlantic and Hong Kong. The group of online friends found themselves complaining about some of the audio dramas they were listening to. That complaining session eventually became organized, and the complaints turned into ideas for a series of podcasts. Klassen said the group thought, “Maybe the rest of us should also try doing this.” Less than a week later in October 2016, the group had a Slack channel, a name for their network, a logo and three shows planned. In January, Procyon created a successful crowdfunding campaign through Kickstarter. The network promised “fun, diverse genre fiction podcasts” and set a $5,000 goal. In return, wouldbe listeners and supporters contributed a total of $6,343. The need for diversity in media is one of the reasons the network was founded. “It’s sort of the ethos of the network,” Klassen said. “If you think of any movie that involves gay people, chanc-

es are that at least one of them dies, and the whole point of the movie is that, ‘Oh my god, I’m gay. It’s so sad. I’m so tormented. Life is so hard because society is so terrible!’ — and there’s some value to that, but when that is the only choice you have on Netflix, it really sucks.” Klassen said there’s a need for people to see themselves reflected in the media they consume and that stories about fun space adventures, solving mysteries or falling in love underwater while researching squid (Under Pressure is a little hard to explain, according to Klassen) can fill that gap. “A lot of podcasts are written by dudes — and they’re written by white dudes — by white straight dudes.” She thinks that promise to bring some diversity to the audio drama scene is what appealed to people. “We’re a bunch of women or non-cis people who want to make shows about women or non-cis people, some of whom are queer, many of whom are people of colour, that are also cool, fun genre shows,” Klassen said. Station to Station is now six episodes into its 10-episode first season, with new episodes out every other week. In the future, Klassen said everyone at the network would like to continue with second seasons of their shows and that the dream is to help others start making their own shows. But for now, the mysteries within Station to Station will continue to unravel and there’s still much more for listeners to learn. “There are a few other people out there looking for answers with different agendas,” she teased. “And everybody talks about their feelings a lot, ‘cause that’s my specialty.”

Express yourself in a new way — we’re all creative I am issuing “ you a challenge A

nswering a text in the middle of a conversation. Chewing with your mouth open. The toilet paper being placed over or under. Crooked park jobs. Talking during the movies. What do they all have in common? They are all fairly common pet peeves and, while some of them bother me a little, my biggest issue by far is something completely different. It’s that age-old reply, “Oh, I can’t. I’m not creative.” Mic drop and exit the theatre because it’s usually a conversation ender. It is used as both a way to get out of an invitation or as an excuse to not explore something new. And as hard as it is for me to hear spoken out loud, it’s the thousands of times I know they have said it to themselves that bothers me the most. When we were kids, playing in the sandbox was a chance to explore a new world and create a city we could destroy single-handedly. While eating mashed potatoes, we could build enormous volcanoes just waiting to erupt with a delicious flow of lava. When we told stories about the day, we were inclined to embellish, sometimes a little and sometimes to an almost unbelievable amount. Our signatures may have be done with different coloured pens or feature a flower over an “i”. We were creating all of the time, without even knowing it. And then we grew

MOVEMENT up. And with that, came the belief that creating for the fun of it is now something we are incapable of doing. Or perhaps it simply isn’t as important as catching up on the latest episode of This is Us. Maybe it is prohibitively expensive or time consuming or a million other excuses. I am here to tell you creating just for the sake of exploring a new medium and to challenge yourself is not only something you are fully capable of doing, but there is a lot of evidence to suggest it might just make you more productive, happier and can help you to forge new connections. Even the global leader in just about everything, Google encourages this with their 20 per cent project, which lets engineers on their team spend up to 20% of their work week on projects that interest them. If it’s good enough for Google, then it’s good enough for us. It doesn’t have to be a complicated process either, the definition of creativity from dictionary.com states that it is “the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns,

relationships or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations.” You can take a creative approach to everything from cooking by throwing out the recipe book, to mixing patterns in clothing. The possibilities are truly endless, just use with a word of caution — driving and accounting are terrible places to be creative. I am issuing you a challenge today. Take a few minutes to sketch out the scene in front of you, write a love letter to your cat or come up with a secret handshake with your child. Express yourself in a new way and tap into the enormous wells of creativity we all have inside of us. Share what you did with us at makeshift kamloops@gmail.com and we’ll send you a virtual high five for leaving your comfort zone. Brianne Sheppard is co-owner of Makeshift Kamloops.

DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Music historian Marc Revenson, known professionally as Lil’ Rev, knows music — and, in particular, he knows his instrument, the ukulele. Revenson has praised fellow player. Stuart Fuchs as someone who pushes his instrument “to brave new heights while keeping one foot rooted in a number of time-honoured traditions.” Kamloopsians can decide for themselves when Fuchs performs on Saturday for a concert at the Southwest Community Church, 700 Hugh Allan Dr. The concert is sponsored by the Ukulele Orchestra of Kamloops. Fuchs is also conducting a workshop earlier in the day, but all spots for it sold quickly. Fuchs plays other instruments — guitar, flue and didgeridoo — and brings together meditation and yoga with making music when he conducts his workshops. He was

given a grant from the National Endownment for the Arts for one aspect of his education focus, bringing music to patients at a cancer institute in Buffalo. Dave Brubeck inspired Fuchs when he was just 19 and found himself sitting in on a jam session with the jazz legend. Fuchs describes the experience on his website: “As we played together, I forgot myself entirely. I was listening with such intensity and felt so supported by Dave’s band that something other than myself took over and began to play the music for me. “I had a visceral feeling of being a channel for the music to flow through me. My hands were channeling musical ideas that I couldn’t have played if I had practised them for 10,000 hours!” The concert starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door and the local orchestra will also be accepting donations for the Kamloops Food Bank. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

A very Tuba Christmas DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Businessman and philanthropist Jim Pattison once said he has a lot of respect for tuba players “just carrying that thing around.” Kim Mangan is hoping to find some local musicians who have chosen that particular low-pitched brass instrument who are interested in bringing its tones to Christmas music. For the third year, the Kamloops Music Collective, of which Mangan is executive director, is taking part in the international Tuba Christmas. The orchestra, once pulled together and after some rehearsals, will perform specially arranged holiday music on Dec. 16. The event is

restricted to tuba players, but; those who chose the euphonium are also invited to take part. Rehearsals are at South Kamloops secondary, 821 Munro St., on Dec. 9 at 10 a.m. and Dec. 16, before the official performances, again at the school in the band room at 9:30 a.m. There is a $10 fee to register to perform. The music starts later on Dec. 16, with an 11:30 a.m. performance at Save-On-Foods, 1210 Summit Dr. and at 2:15 p.m. across the road at Sahali Mall. Mangan said past years have seen about 20 musicians take part. The first year Kamloops was involved, some tuba players came up from Kelowna. For more information, email the Tuba Christmas co-ordinator, Sam Levasseur, at sammykyns@live.com.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops’ own Chris Bose was among presenters over the weekend at the Kamloops Writers Festival.

Writers decrypt the process at festival When you put pen to paper (or fingers to the keyboard), for whom are you writing? Writers famous and obscure have pondered that question as they stared at the page. That query was addressed to a quartet of writers at last weekend’s Kamloops Writers Festival and elicited a range of responses

during the opening In Conversation With . . . at the DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel downtown: Patrick Blennerhassett: “I’ll be honest, I just write for myself.” Alix Hawley: “I can’t write if I’m thinking about someone. I write longhand to eliminate the critic on

my shoulder.” Karen Hoffman said she also writes longhand and does not think of any type of reader in particular when penning a novel. She said she enjoys the longhand process because “I become the hand.” Chris Bose: “Leonard Cohen,” was his immediate reply to the ques-

tion before engaging the audience with a tale of how he used to send Cohen poems and ask for tips. Much to Bose’s surprise, Cohen replied on occasion with encouragement. “I had no idea what I was doing,” Bose said. “I was a kid from Kamloops. What was I doing?”

Art in the Dark returns in third year The third annual Art in the Dark fundraiser will be held at Art Knapp Garden Centre on Saturday, Nov. 18. The 19-plus event is a fundraiser for the council’s programming. The evening includes a DJ and dance floor, black-light bodypainting, live

painting, clay work, a cash bar, silent auction and food for sale. A shuttle service will

run between the venue and downtown and Cascades Casino. Tickets are $50,

$40 for students and council members and are available online at kamloopsarts.ca. They can also be bought at the council office in the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St. For a shuttle schedule, go online to kamloopsarts.ca.

Quebec to tax Netflix with or without feds THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Quebec will forge ahead with plans to tax Netflix with or without the support of Ottawa, the province’s finance minister has said in a letter to his federal counterpart. “Our sales taxes have to apply to the realities of the 21st century,’’ Carlos Leitao wrote in the letter dated Tuesday to Bill Morneau. Calling it a matter of “fairness,’’ Leitao said. “Quebec will have no choice but to act alone’’ if the federal government doesn’t budge.

An agreement Ottawa has reached with Netflix allows the U.S. web-streaming giant to forgo paying sales tax by investing $500 million in Canadian productions over the next five years. Leitao says the deal gives Netflix an unfair advantage over Quebec-based companies that offer similar services. Quebec’s position did nothing to sway Morneau.

“We have been clear — our government has no plans to introduce a new tax on middle class Canadians,’’, his spokeswoman, Chloe Luciani-Girouard, wrote in an email Wednesday. “Should [Quebec] determine they want to move forward on imposing a sales tax on Netflix, they can proceed.’’ In Quebec City, Leitao told reporters he doesn’t require Ottawa’s permission to proceed but that he still needed to inform the federal government because the province’s sales tax is harmonized with the federal GST. Leitao said his government

has been given indications by the company it is willing to pay taxes to the province. “[Netflix] is telling us, very honestly and clearly, that they will co-operate,’’ he said. A spokesperson for Netflix said in an email, “Netflix pays all taxes where required by law.’’ Leitao intends to introduce the measure as of 2018. Last month, all Quebec political parties voted unanimously in favour of a motion to ensure the provincial sales tax is quickly imposed on all foreign companies that offer products and services online, notably in the cultural sector.

Downie’s final album tops charts in first week TORONTO — Gord Downie’s deeply personal final album Introduce Yerself climbed to the top of the Canadian charts in its first week. Driven largely by listeners buying copies as opposed to streaming it, the project sold

Aniston, Witherspoon to star in Apple show THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Friends star Jennifer Aniston is coming back to television and she’s partnering with Reese Witherspoon. The Apple streaming service said Wednesday the actresses will star in and produce a behindthe-scenes drama series about a TV morning show. Aniston came to fame as Rachel on the hit NBC comedy Friends, which aired from 1994 to 2004. She then focused on films, including Office Space, Bruce Almighty and Marley & Me. The Oscar-winning Witherspoon (Walk the Line) made a TV splash last season with HBO’s Emmy-winning series Big Little Lies, which she starred in and produced with Nicole Kidman. The new series marks a TV reunion for its stars: Witherspoon made a cameo on Friends, as Aniston’s sister. Landing the buzzed-about project represents a coup for Apple, which said it’s ordered two seasons but didn’t announce the show’s title, release date or whether the shows will be distributed on iTunes or a different platform. The series was described by Apple as “an inside look at the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning, exploring the unique challenges faced by the women [and men] who carry out this daily televised ritual.’’ It will draw on Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV by Brian Stelter, CNN senior media correspondent. The show and Steven Spielberg’s reboot of his Amazing Stories 1980s anthology series are the first two original dramas ordered by Apple.

THE NORMANDY INVASIONS: BAYEAUX AND JUNO BEACH RICK MILLIKAN SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

ormandy’s D-Day landing site becomes the highlight of a Seine River cruise. At Rouen, American shipmates board motor coaches heading to Omaha Beach, interpretative centres and cemeteries. Joining a smaller group of Brits, Aussies and fellow Canadians, we travel to Juno Beach. Stopping first in Bayeaux, we walk through its medieval core to view the famed tapestry. Pointing out its magnificent gothic cathedral, our guide Peter recounts, “the bishop displayed the Bayeaux tapestry to help parishioners understand the invasion of England.” A refurbished 17th-century seminary now exhibits this 70-metre masterpiece. Using audio guides, we study the remarkable needlework chronicling the Norman Conquest. King Edward is shown first promising his English throne to William of Normandy. Panels next depict Edward’s brother-in-law Harold arriving in Normandy to confirm his vow. Subsequent panels illustrate Harold’s return to England, Edward dying and Harold claiming England’s crown for himself. William reacts to this betrayal. We see Norman boats loaded with menat-arms, archers and cavalrymen. The final section portrays the 1066 Battle of Hastings with lurid details, including the fatal arrow shot into Harold’s eye. Arriving at Juno Beach, Peter points out and explains remnants of the Second World War’s crucial battle. Of five concrete German blockhouses, one remains atop a sand dune. All had housed deadly machine guns. Mine explosives lay buried and barriers of barbed wire covered this sandy expanse and fields beyond. An amphibious tank perches on another dune. Such British tanks led the Canadian infantry through Hitler’s Atlantic Wall. A rusted British landing craft, once carrying 36 men, lies derelict along the beach. Far offshore, waves break on crumbling caissons. By sinking these huge concrete chambers and scuttling ships, the Brits constructed an artificial harbour. Generals named it for Winston Churchill, its creator. I visualize my father-in-law, an artilleryman, arriving at Port Winston just after D-Day. After lunching at a village restaurant, we enter Juno Beach Interpretive Centre. A film portrays some of the 14,000 Canadians

who landed on D-Day. “Our soldiers courageously established this beachhead and continued to capture three seaside towns,” the Canadian docent recounts. “Advancing 10 miles, they cut off the Caen-Bayeux highway, seized Caen’s western airport and connected two British beachheads.” Proceeding along the coast, we pay our respects to fallen soldiers at three of the 15 Commonwealth cemeteries. Countless gravestones stand in rows across expansive manicured lawns. Flowers surround each gravesite. Maple leaves, hometowns, ranks and names of each young soldier are etched into gray limestone markers. Most bear large crosses. Traditional visiting stones lie on those displaying the Star of David. Some inscriptions indicate French resistance members, who fought alongside Canadians. Our group places roses on several gravesites. At Pegasus Museum, we learn about the 6th British Airborne’s remarkable D-Day success. “On June 5, British planes towed six Horsa Airspeed gliders . . . and released

them at midnight 15 miles off Normandy’s coast,” guide Marie said. “Navigating just with stopwatches through the dark cloudy night, pilots landed the first three gliders within one hundred and 50-metres of Caen Canal Bridge, their target.” We examine the replicated wooden glider resting on a large lawn. The 27-metre wingspan lifted its 20-metre fuselage, which barely accommodated the two pilots and 28-soldier platoon. Every trooper packed a personal weapon, ammunition and up to nine grenades. Each glider carried a twoinch mortar. Leading us onto the original bridge, Marie continues the story of its capture. “A night guard heard the landing thuds and sought shelter from what he thought was aerial debris. Meanwhile, his regiment of 50 Germans slept nearby. The bridge was easily seized. Three other gliders landed near River Orne Bridge and captured this equally strategic crossing. The six airborne platoons then held both bridges by repulsing a tank, gunboat and infantry counter-attacks. Paratroopers

eventually reinforced their positions. German staff officers refused to wake their Fuhrer to report this allied invasion,” Marie smiles. “And only Hitler could order the advance of their Panzer divisions.” Back in Rouen, shipmates re-board the Viking Rollo and, over dinner, review our eventful day. When talking about the Bayeaux Tapestry, a fellow adds, “William of Normandy was the great-great-greatgrandson of another invader, our riverboat’s namesake!” Others note how Rollo’s Vikings invaded 10th-century France and how King Charles’ peace treaty gave him Normandy. All know the first Duke of Normandy, Rollo rests in Rouen Cathedral. The conversation shifts to D-Day’s insights and highlights. All of us have gained a greater understanding and appreciation of our soldiers’ valour. Their sacrifices will long be honoured on Remembrance Day.
