Provinces to discuss issue on Thursday Transportation Minister Claire Trevena and her counterparts in other Western provinces will talk on Thursday about what to do as a result of Greyhound reducing its service in Canada to a few routes in Ontario and Quebec. Trevena said her ministry is also talking to other bus companies in B.C. to determine what interest there is — and what capacity exists — to fill the gap that will result from the Oct. 31 shutdown of all Greyhound routes in Western Canada, aside from one run between Vancouver and Seattle.

JESSICA WALLACE/KTW Phillip Cote and four-year-old son Ash Sukerov rely on Greyhound every three months to reunite. Cote has shared custody with his former partner, who lives in Kamloops. Turn to page A4 to hear how Greyhound’s decision to shut down routes will affect him and other customers.
John Ranta drove a Greyhound bus for 35 years — and he’s not surprised the company has announced it is leaving every province except Ontario and Quebec. The mayor of Cache Creek and chair of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District said when the routes are shut down on Oct. 31, he won’t be surprised to see other entrepreneurs step up to fill the void, an expectation Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian shares. The company announced on Monday that it is ending its passenger bus and freight services in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and cancelling all but one route in B.C. — a U.S.-run service between Vancouver and Seattle. Christian said while smaller communities in the Prairies, northern B.C. and perhaps the Kootenays may suffer from Greyhound’s decision, Kamloops is well located as a hub from where new carriers might create businesses going to Merritt or into the Okanagan. Christian said he is disappointed for the Greyhound employees in Kamloops whose jobs will end in about three months. “In the long run, Greyhound’s heart wasn’t in it and this could make way for new carriers to start up,” he said. Ranta said one aspect of Greyhound’s business that has been
impacted by new companies is in moving freight. He said the company failed to keep up with changing technology, “putting little pieces of paper in the hands of drivers” rather than developing an efficient online tracking system. “I could see it happening,” he said of his time with Greyhound before retiring in 2007. “And they didn’t do anything.” He said he was concerned about the viability of the company when he retired, opting to cash out his pension plan rather than leaving it with Greyhound. Ranta also put some blame on communities that have let other businesses and organizations enter the people-moving business, ranging from buses taking people to health clinics in other cities to ride-sharing programs. Last December, when Greyhound applied to the province’s passenger transportation board for route reductions approval, it said it had lost $70 million in the previous six years and ridership had dropped by 46 per cent in B.C. The company said routes are expensive to operate and it was being impacted by competition for passengers from ride-share programs, airlines, personal vehicles and government-funded bus and rail lines. Greyhound Canada senior vice-president Stuart Kendrick told the Canadian Press the decision to shut down service “is regretful and we sympathize with the fact that many small towns are going to lose service.

“But simply put, the issue that we have seen is the routes in rural parts of Canada — specifically Western Canada — are just not sustainable anymore,” Kendrick said 415 people will be out of work as a result of the decision, which he estimates will impact roughly two-million consumers. The company is blaming a 41 per cent decline in ridership since 2010, persistent competition from subsidized national and inter-regional passenger transportation services, the growth of new low-cost airlines, regulatory constraints and the continued growth of car ownership. Declining ridership is the primary culprit, said Kendrick, who called the combination of declining ridership and increasing costs an “ongoing spiral” that’s making it impossible for the company to continue operations. He said the company has raised its concerns with provincial and federal officials over the years and

elling alone — a woman,” she said. Another European traveller, who asked that his name not be included in the story, noted transportation systems abroad are more evolved. “I was thinking, do you have Uber? I need to call a taxi. In B.C., you don’t have Uber. When I was looking for this, I thought, ‘Oh my God, there’s no Uber,’ ” he said Other people at the station included a set of grandparents who had just said goodbye to their visiting granddaughter (who doesn’t have a driver’s licence) and a family fed up with various modes of transportation. Vancouver resident Kelly Shaw hasn’t been able to drive since she was in a car accident. She thinks the government needs to look at possible ways in which to intervene.

wanted to ensure both levels of government were “fully aware” of the situation. Greyhound Canada has long advocated for a community funding model to allow any private carrier to bid on essential rural services, he added. Kendrick said Greyhound Canada will continue to push Ottawa to look at improving transport in northern communities. Greyhound Canada applied to provincial regulators last year to discontinue routes in northern B.C. from Prince George to Prince Rupert because of declining ridership. Those cancellations went into effect June 1. It also got the nod to reduce service from Kamloops to various communities. The issue of adequate transportation came up repeatedly during the ongoing inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, since one of the affected routes included the notorious stretch of Highway 16 in B.C. known as the Highway of Tears, where a number of women have gone missing.

The company is blaming a 41 per cent decline in ridership since 2010, persistent competition from subsidized national and interregional passenger transportation services, the growth of new lowcost airlines, regulatory constraints and the continued growth of car ownership.

Greyhound passengers in the company’s Kamloops depot on Laval Crescent were surprised by news of the closure shortly after it was announced on Monday. When KTW arrived, the lobby was bustling, with a lineup of passengers ready to board a bus to Prince George. Thirteen seats were available aboard the 50-passenger vehicle. Greyhound passenger Phillip Cote said the cuts will “drastically” affect him. Vision issues prevent him from obtaining a driver’s licence and he said flying is too expensive. Cote travels by Greyhound from Prince George every three months to pick up his four-year-old son, Ash Sukerov. “Split custody with my son,” he said. “He lives with my ex. My ex-wife. We’re hoping to live in the same town in the future.” Asked what he will do without the service, Cote said he will likely try to get a ride with family or off Craigslist and expects more people will be forced to hitchhike. Greyhound announced on Monday that it is ending its passenger bus and freight services

Kamloops council quintet urges voters to choose PR JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
TODAY’S FLYERS
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
*Selected distribution
Five city councillors are urging Kamloops residents to vote for a new provincial electoral system when voters across B.C. take park in a referendum this fall on proportional representation. Councillors Arjun Singh, Dieter Dudy, Tina Lange, Denis Walsh and Donovan Cavers have signed a letter endorsing proportional representation over the current first-past-thepost system of voting. The letter notes the alternative voting system “reflects the diversity of views that exist in society” and will allow more “stable and productive provincial policy decisions.” “I signed it because I feel really strongly that we need to change our system,” Walsh said. Singh said proportional representation more closely aligns with the way council operates — more voices compared to a “winner takes all system” under first-past-the-post. “People have a chance to elect people that more closely represent how they feel about things,” he said. “A good, functioning council does sort of mirror what can happen in pro-rep at a provincial or federal level.” Neither Walsh nor Singh could recall a time when Kamloops city councillors took a stance in the form of a signed letter on provincial referendum issues. “This is probably the first time when we’ve got together and had a letter of endorsement from council members,” Walsh said. Voters in B.C. cast ballots in 2005 and 2009 on the proposed single-transferable vote system via referendums held alongside general elections. Voters have twice before taken part in provincewide mail-in referendums: in 2011 for the harmonized sales tax and in 2002 for the First Nations treaty process.

A good, functioning council “does sort of mirror what can happen in pro-rep at a provincial or federal level.
”
— Kamloops Coun. ARJUN SINGH
I do not believe you should “use your status and title as an elected individual to influence matters outside your jurisdiction or purview.
”
— Kamloops Mayor KEN CHRISTIAN
Singh was involved with Fair Vote Kamloops during the 2009 referendum. The five councillors who have signed the letter endorsing proportional representation wanted to make clear, however, that council as a whole has not taken a stance. “We have experience as individual councillors and, as a group, we thought we would put it out,” Singh said. “This is not an endorsed letter from the council or from the city. This is a letter signed by five city councillors.” Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Ray Dhaliwal, Kathy Sinclair and Pat Wallace did not sign the letter. Christian told KTW via email he did not sign the letter for two reasons — the issue is outside the jurisdiction of city council and he does not want to “pander” to the Green party as a result of the coalition government. “I do not believe you should use your status and title as an elected individual to influence matters outside your jurisdiction or purview,” he said. Christian also said adding seats to the legislative assembly “will not
make government more efficient, effective nor accountable. It will only cost more.” Sinclair said she didn’t sign the letter because it is not within the jurisdiction of her role as a city councillor. “It sends a message that city council has taken a position,” she said. While Sinclair would not take a stance as a city councillor, she said as an individual she supports proportional representation in some form. Wallace said she did not feel comfortable giving her personal opinion on the matter to voters, though she does not slight colleagues for offering theirs. “It’s absolutely their right,” she said. “But for me, I just wouldn’t be comfortable doing it.” B.C. residents will vote via mail-in ballot from Oct. 22 to Nov. 30. Voters will choose in a first question whether they would like to keep the current first-past-the-post system. A second question, which offers three forms of proportional representation, will come into play if the majority choose to switch.

TCC locker thief to be sentenced TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man admitted on Monday his role in more than a halfdozen thefts from lockers at the Tournament Capital Centre dating back to last fall. Alfred James Sauls Chouinard pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court to charges stemming from seven thefts and related property offences, all of them connected to incidents involving lockers at the city-owned fitness facility on the campus of Thompson Rivers University. The 22-year-old was arrested on June 22. The thefts from lockers occurred in October and November of 2017 and in January, February, March, May and June of this year. Chouinard was released from custody on Monday following his guilty pleas. He is scheduled to return to court on Aug. 20 to set a date for sentencing. Chouinard, who does not have a criminal record, has asked to be sentenced in First Nations Court.

Casino strike enters its second week MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Cascades Casino employees in Kam loops continue to sol dier on along the pick et line as their union is back at the negotiating table this week. More than 200 local workers are on strike, rotating groups of picketers putting in fourhour shifts out side the casino as the labour disruption car ries on into its second week. “The elements have definitely been a chal lenge. We’ve had some pretty wacky weather so far,” said Cameron Smith, a first cook at Match Eatery, who had been on the picket line
for eight days as of Monday. The strike at casinos in Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton began on June 29. Renewed talks began this week between the BC Government Employees’ Union (BCGEU) and Gateway Casinos — which owns the four casinos behind picket lines. BCGEU president Stephanie Smith said the union has submit ted a “slightly modi fied wage proposal,” noting the bargaining committee is waiting to hear back from the employer. Smith wouldn’t go into details regarding what that modified proposal looks like.
Gateway spokes woman Tanya Gabara did not offer any details of how negotia tions are proceeding this week, but did say via email the company wants to get its union ized employees back to work and is commit ted to working toward a mutually agreeable contract. Prior to the strike, Gateway issued a statement noting the union is asking for an average 62 per cent wage increase across the board, which it described as “not rea sonable for any busi ness.” In response, Smith has said those are the types of increases needed to bring its employees’ pay more
in line with industry standards. Smith visited the picket line in Kamloops on Monday and described spirits as “good. “And, as a matter of fact, the more time they spend together, the stronger they’re getting in terms of their resolve,” she said. Azia Mears, a server at Match Eatery, said that while she doesn’t plan to work at the casino all her life, she’s out on the picket line to support her fellow workers. Cameron Smith, who has a wife, a young child at home and a mortgage, said he is prepared to remain on the picket line. “I’m set to do this indefinitely,” he said, adding it’s up to the company to decide how long the strike lasts. Smith said many employees are better off on the picket line as the union’s strike pay is covering most of their wages and their benefits. Wages remain the key sticking point between the union and the company. Smith claimed the company is looking at minimal increases of five to 20cent raises, arguing the 62 per cent increase the union is seeking isn’t as steep an increase as it seems because it only gets employees up to a liv able wage. BCGEU staff nego tiator Chad McQuarrie has said most of the union’s workers make

minimum wage or just above it, noting the union wants to see workers in Kamloops and the Okanagan be paid in line with what casino workers earn in the Lower Mainland. Smith said wage increases have been lacking for himself and his fellow employees, noting he has only seen a 50cent raise in the three years he has worked at Cascades, putting his current hourly wage at about $16.50. Some people who have been working at the casino for 20 years (since it was located downtown under the Lake City moniker) are not making much
more than when they started and will be earning minimum wage once the prov ince implements its new increases, he said. In June, the provin cial government raised the minimum wage to $12.65. It will be $15.20 by June of 2021. “You’ll get an 18yearold kid coming in off the street making the same amount as somebody who’s been here for 20 years,” Smith said. Mears, who makes the minimum $11.40 an hour as a server, said she hasn’t had a raise in the three years she’s worked at the casino except for last month’s minimum
wage increase. The company has said its employees also make good tips on top of their wages, but Mears said it’s hit and miss. “Summertime is definitely when you make the most money and throughout the rest of the year you don’t make that much,” she said, not ing a server will also share four per cent of their tips with kitchen and bar staff. She said most servers in the casino don’t receive benefits because they don’t receive more than 30 hours of work per week.

Strikers tell of tense moments on the picket line MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The head of the BCGEU is asking motorists to refrain from bumping into striking workers outside Cascade Casino. Union president Stephanie Smith was in Kamloops on Monday, when she heard reports of casino patrons hitting picketers with their vehicles as they attempt to enter the casino on Versatile Drive. Smith said the police have been notified of the incidents. One employee, who did not wish to give his name, told KTW a vehicle was driven over his foot and hit his knee as its driver went through the picket line a few days ago. Match Eatery server Azia Mears recently took a video of a white truck leaving the property and driving up to the picket line, braking quickly inches before a picketer. Mears said such incidents have led to some strikers fearful of being hit while carrying signs. She also said there have been some rude customers crossing the picket line.
“Some people just shout at us, like ‘F— you’ and ‘You already get paid too much,’” Mears said. Police received two reports of picketers being bumped by vehicles on July 6 and July 8, but there were conflicting reports from witnesses and those involved, so it’s inconclusive if anyone was actually struck, RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW. She said there was no report of anybody having their foot run over, nor were there any reported injuries. Striking employees could be seen pacing back and forth across the two entrances to the casino on Monday — a tactic used to dissuade motorists from crossing their picket line. Smith said as long as members are walking, they are considered pedestrians and have the right of way. “No one is blockading, stopping in front of cars, putting their hands up and not allowing people to go,” she said. “They are in constant motion, which is perfectly within their rights.” Cameron Smith, a cook at Match Eatery, said many of the
people who are crossing the line tend to be from out of town. “We get a few angry ones, we get people flipping us off and driving past, a lot of people revving their engines and stuff like that,” Cameron Smith said, noting he hasn’t witnessed anyone being hit by vehicles and he’s been on site most days. He said strikers are not trying to block people from entering the casino, but are trying to get their point across that it is an active picket line and they would prefer if people didn’t cross it. Gateway Casinos spokesperson Tanya Gabara replied to KTW via email, asking that those on the picket line remember customers have a right to visit the casino if they choose and requesting that picketers respect their right to do so without impediment or harassment. About 10 vehicles could be seen in the casino parking lot at about 11 a.m. on Monday morning, many of which belonged to Cascades management, according to Cameron Smith. He said there
seems to have been a noticeable decline in business at the casino since the strike began. Gabara did not respond to a KTW question as to the state of business in the casinos. Last week, Cascade Encore Rewards members were sent coupons offering them $25 a day of free slot pay and a free buffet voucher during the first week of the strike. Mears said there have been some people who crossed the picket line that said they were only going in to take advantage of the promotion. Bryce Herman, director of marketing for Chances Gaming Centre on the North Shore, said, anecdotally, the Halston Avenue venue has seen an increase in the volume of customers, noting the parking lot has appeared full at times when it’s usually empty. He said more Chances employees have been getting additional shifts. Cameron Smith said he and his fellow picketers have contemplated making signs directing people to Chances and promoting its specials.
MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW The parking lot at Cascades is emptier than during pre-strike days.

GREYHOUND LEAVES A CRUCIAL VOID
G
reyhound’s decision to shut down in Western Canada — save for a shuttle between Vancouver and Seattle — will obviously impact people who need it the most. Those without a vehicle, those who cannot drive and those who cannot afford more expensive alternatives on rail and in the air will need to find other ways to get from city to city come November. To justify its imminent departure from B.C. and Western Canada, Greyhound is claiming its ridership is down by 41 per cent, arguing it can no longer subsidize a loss of $35,000 per day, or $70 million over six years. Concerns raised by readers on KTW’s Facebook page about the cuts indicated that clients going for treatment will be impacted, while others commented feeling empathy for people who rely on buses and don’t own a vehicle. The story has been among the most-commented on posts on our website at kamloopsthisweek.com and on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Some readers offered a “good riddance” to a company they felt had long ago packed it in and was offering substandard service for some time. Others said they are truly concerned about how they are going to get from Kamloops to other communities, particularly in the winter. And there were those who called on the government and/or private sector to step in and fill the crucial transportation gap that will be created by Greyhound’s departure. The provincial government has already said it is talking to private transportation companies about the feasibility of some of them filling the empty routes. And ride-sharing companies are looking to stake their claims in the larger centres outside of the Lower Mainland. There will be ways to get there from here — but the method and mode of transport, like all else in society, will continue to evolve.

Let’s market the people
E
arly in my career here at KTW, for reasons only the then-editor could have possibly come up with, I was sent to a city hall meeting. On the agenda was a presentation by Peter Mutrie, who was at the time the head of the North Shore Business Improvement Association, He came to council to present a petition containing the names of more than 2,200 people who wanted improved streetlights on the Tranquille corridor. He wanted basic stuff, like consistent lights with enough candle power to illuminate the entire area, not the antiquated ones that had been bracing the street since the 1950s. This seemed strange to me, a vital commercial area and key part of the city having to petition to get what would be pro forma in other cities. Mutrie explained when we spoke recently that, when he first pitched the project, he was hit with “the standard argument — costs too much.” That story popped back into my head when the NSBIA announced plans to rebrand the area as The Shore. I wondered why. To me, “the shore” is that stretch of land that runs along a body of water. My friend said the word “shore” makes her think of a beach. What Mutrie was saying way back when — during the time the NSBIA eventually prevailed and got the updated lighting — is that the North Shore is a vast community filled with historical pride

LEVEL and interconnectivity. This is not seen only through the infrastructure, but via families, through shared school experiences and, yes, by battling to diminish the disdain some people felt when they thought of the area. I get that. I lived most of my life on “the east side” of my Ontario hometown, where the amenities were fewer, the socioeconomic lifestyle was lower, where we were mostly blue-collar or poor families and where there was more crime. Heck, there was a motorcycle clubhouse a couple of blocks from my home — although they were quiet about their existence and, in fact, kept crime down in my immediate neighbourhood. In the end, though, I wondered how two words — “The Shore” would boost the image, both self- and global, of our North Shore. To build a sense of community, you need to engage people, something that area has done at least since we moved here. There were projects that, at
the time, seemed to be simply beautification attempts. There were flower pots along Tranquille Road, murals and new coats of paint on buildings sprucing up the area. But, as Mutrie explained, the value of these things were that they focused on people and, once engaged, community continued to grow. Perhaps that’s the way to build on what is already a vibrant community. Rather than words and slogans, we need projects that bring people together. Maybe promote an adopt-a-block plan with some sort of recognition built in, much like the South Shore has done with its painted flower pots. Perhaps the NSBIA should talk to the city again about closing off Tranquille Road for a day for a people- and business-focused festival, similar to what happens on Victoria Street every summer. Make it just a day so as not to disrupt bus service substantially. There are people out there who are making a bigger mark on the vibrancy of the North Shore. Joshua Knaak has followed the lead of Stefen Reid and is building housing there. Mitchell Forgie is his own steamroller of positivity and engagement. They exemplify the potential that exists on the North Shore. I understand marketing. It’s a key component in communicating. But the best marketing of an area is the people who are that community. But this time, it just feels like busy work that ignores the real potential of the area. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
LET’S LOOSEN RULES ON SECONDARY SUITES Editor: Re: (‘Councillor calls for Legal suites in all single-family homes,’ July 4): There are few vacancies in Kamloops and the rents are at record highs. The gap between incomes and rent grows wider each year. City planners will tell you a vibrant city runs on the work and volunteer hours of a full range of people with a wide range of skills, knowledge and experience. Entry-level jobs pay little and are essential to the economy of the city. All those entry-level people need a place to live and there are few such places in Kamloops. Many are priced out of their
range. A city councillor has suggested a way to address this gap. Kathy Sinclair has opened the debate on loosening restrictions and simplifying approval of in-house suites. Many cities have done this. Their goal and ours is to get low-income people housed and able to be productive and to work and contribute here. This approach is practical, realistic and good for community building. It ensures that in-house suites are safe. It builds density so we all save money on infrastructure. It provides extra income for first-time homebuyers who may be stretching in order to realize
their ownership dream. Concern has been expressed that the suites in houses may increase parking pressure on streets if tenants bring their vehicles into neighbourhoods. As long as we are a vehiclefocused city, those vehicles will be somewhere. Yet this lowincome group is the most likely to, in fact, not own a vehicle. Meanwhile, transit system expansion continues. As a transit user, I find it excellent already. I applaud the increased service on the way. With time, fewer Kamloops residents, whether renters or owners, will require vehicles. Transit will serve their needs efficiently without the cost of owning a vehicle. Also, it won’t
be long before car-sharing, group-owned,self-driving vehicles become part of our city. Our economy, our lifestyle and our city’s vibrancy are dependant on the people who do low-paying jobs. Let’s not become like Vancouver, where employers cannot fill positions because potential employees cannot find an affordable place to live. Let’s give them a place to live and give homeowners a chance to earn some extra cash. That looks like win-win to me. Let’s support this sensible solution. Margaret Archibald Kamloops

but prosecutors last year filed a new indictment alleging seconddegree murder — a move that was made null with Monday’s court appearance. “Our family isn’t very happy about it, especially hearing different things from people,” Ila Watson, the deceased’s wife, told following Monday’s court appearance. “It’s very upsetting for us. I don’t know. … It’s just been hard to take. You hope that justice will take place, but it seems like the system is messed up. But it’s out of our hands. There’s nothing we can do. Our loss is our loss.” Swann’s five-day trial in front of a B.C. Supreme Court judge sitting alone is scheduled to begin on Jan. 21, 2019.
Murder trial start date delayed TIM PETRUK

A Fraser Valley man facing a first-degree murder charge in connection with the 2016 death of a woman in a Kamloops motel has had his trial date delayed. David Albert Miller, 57, is accused of killing Debra Novacluse,
a 52-year-old woman who was found dead in a suite in the Super 8 motel on Hugh Allan Drive in Aberdeen on Aug. 27, 2016. Miller, who has been in custody since his arrest a few weeks after Novacluse’s death, had been scheduled to stand trial before a Kamloops jury in January 2019. In B.C. Supreme Court on
Monday, a judge was told Miller’s new lawyer has requested a preliminary inquiry in provincial court — a hearing that had been previously waived. In return for the hearing, Miller’s lawyer agreed to forego any delay applications stemming from the later trial date. Both Miller and Novacluse were visit-
ing Kamloops from Abbotsford when she was killed. Police said at the time it was a targeted attack. Miller was later arrested in Ontario and returned by police to B.C. His five-day preliminary inquiry is slated to begin on Jan. 21, 2019, in Kamloops provincial court.
Fine levied after crash killed friend A grandmother who was at nearly two times the legal bloodalcohol limit (0.159) to drive when she caused a wreck that killed her friend in 2014 has been fined $2,000 and banned from driving for a year. Carla Rose Grinder, 48, was

When suicide makes the news headlines JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER

Resources are available
Thompson Rivers University lecturer and suicide bereavement counsellor Rebecca Sanford said getting through an immediate crisis period greatly reduces the risk of suicide. Sanford has started a suicide-bereavement group in Kamloops. She said it is common to experience guilt, blame, a sense of responsibility, a sense of rejection and abandonment after somebody dies by suicide. “The group is a really amazing place for people to come together, people who get it,” Sanford said. It will continue on the second and fourth Mondays of the month from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St. To attend, contact Sanford by calling 250-574-7664 or emailing rsanford@tru.ca. CALL FOR HELP A 24/7 national suicide resource — which offers phone, text and chat options — is available by calling at 1-833-456-4566 or going online to crisisservicescanada.ca. It is available to anyone, including those who wish to call on behalf of someone else. CALL THE CENTRE In Kamloops, the Kamloops Mental Health and Substance Use Centre is located at 200-235 Lansdowne St. It is available for drop-in with or without a referral from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and until 8 p.m. on Thursdays. Reach staff by calling 250-377-6500 or 250-3770088 after hours. It is closed on weekends and statutory holidays. MORE HELP IS AVAILABLE For additional resources on suicide prevention and bereavement, go online to suicideprevention.ca.
hen Kate Spade died by suicide last month, some media outlets included in their news coverage the colour of the scarf used in her death. It was a curious detail that raises larger questions about the media’s role in balancing the public’s right to know with potentially harmful impacts. Thompson Rivers University lecturer and suicide-bereavement counsellor Rebecca Sanford followed media coverage as suicide dominated the news cycle in recent weeks. In addition to the fashion designer’s death on June 5, chef and storyteller Anthony Bourdain took his own life three days after. A report was also released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control detailing increased suicide in that country. In the age of information, KTW wondered whether such highly publicized suicides can have an impact on society. The short answer? Yes. But it’s more complicated. Whether those implications are positive or negative depends on the reporting. On one hand, responsible coverage — stories that educate, include resources, avoid sensationalism and don’t describe in detail methods or places — can destigmatize suicide and help people at risk. One study, Sanford noted, linked stories that offered alternative coping methods to reduced suicide rates. The so-called “Papageno effect” is named after a character in Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute. Papageno contemplated suicide, but did not go through with it after being reminded of an alternative. Hearing about suicide opens the door of possibility for people already at risk, Sanford said. It is a myth, however, to suggest media can plant the idea into the minds of someone not already vulnerable to suicide. Another scientific theory called the “Werther effect” — also known as suicide contagion or the copycat effect — shows some media coverage can have dangerous implications. The theory dates back to the 18th-century novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, which was written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
After the book was released, suicide increased across Europe and the book was banned as a result. The 2017 World Health Organization’s guide for print, broadcast and digital media — Preventing Suicide: A Resource for Media Professionals — notes more than 100 investigations conducted into imitative suicides. “Systematic reviews of these studies have consistently drawn the same conclusion: media reporting of suicide can lead to subsequent, additional, suicidal behaviours,” it states. The WHO notes impacts are accentuated with repeated coverage, high-impact stories and when readers relate to the person or hold them in high regard. Particular care is advised when reporting celebrity suicides. Making suicide look sexy is problematic, Sanford added. Then there’s that creeping question of “Why?” — to which media always want an answer, but for which there is rarely one reason. “It’s harmful to reduce a suicide death to one particular cause because it reinforces that dichotomous, ‘Well, this hapREBECCA SANFORD pened to me. This is the way out,’” Sanford said. Under those professional standards, reporting Spade’s scarf colour was irresponsible and Sanford wondered whether such detail would be included in media coverage about a car accident. “Because suicide is such a stigmatized form of death and people are so morbidly curious, for lack of a better way to put it, there’s often times more detail reported than what is necessary for telling the story,” she said. WHO GUIDELINES The World Health Organization notes media reports about suicide written with certain guidelines show “strong potential to help prevent suicide” and do not usually trigger further suicides. Those guidelines include: • Educate about suicide; • Avoid sensational or normalizing language; • Don’t present suicide as a solution;

• Avoid prominent placement and undue repetition of suicide stories; • Don’t describe in detail methods or places; • Word headlines carefully; • Be careful when choosing photos or video; • Take extra care when reporting celebrity suicides; • Consider people who may be bereaving; • Provide resources to get help; • Recognize that media professionals may also be affected. A NOTE ON LANGUAGE The World Health Organization advises against using the word “commit” when talking about suicide. “It comes from a time when suicide was criminalized and people were held criminally liable if they attempted suicide and survived,” Sanford said. WHO SUICIDE MYTHS, FACTS: • Myth: Talking about suicide is a bad idea and can be interpreted as encouragement. Fact: Widespread stigma means most people who are contemplating suicide don’t know who to talk to. Talking openly can give people options and prevent suicide. • Myth: Someone who is suicidal is determined to die. Fact: Suicidal people are often ambivalent about living or dying. Someone may act impulsively by drinking pesticide and die a few days later, even though they wanted to live. Access to emotional support at the right time can prevent suicide. • Myth: Most suicides happen suddenly without warning. Fact: Most suicides have been preceded by warning signs, verbal or behavioural. It is important to understand warning signs. • Myth: Once someone is suicidal, they will always be suicidal. Fact: Heightened suicide risk is often short-term and specific to the situation. While thoughts may return, they are not permanent and a person with previous suicidal thoughts and attempts can go on to live a long life. • Myth: Only people with mental disorders are suicidal. Fact: Suicidal behaviour indicates unhappiness but not necessarily mental disorder. Many people living with mental disorders are not affected by suicidal behaviour and not all people who take their lives have a mental disorder. • Myth: Suicidal behaviour is easy to explain. Fact: Suicide is never the result of a single factor or event.

Prosecutors appealing acquittal of couple accused of assaulting cop TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

IN GOOD TASTE
Renuka Sapkota of Vyanjan Fine Indian Cuisine was one of the Kamloops vendors offering food at the Taste of Downtown event on Saturday. The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association said winners will be announced later this week.
Prosecutors are appealing the acquittal of a Kamloops couple who had been accused of assaulting a police officer — a decision reached after a judge found the credibility of an RCMP constable to be “troublesome.” Olive and Mark Klassen were found not guilty on May 30 following a trial that stretched sporadically over a number of days for three months. Olive Klassen called 911 on Feb. 18, 2017, to report what she believed to be a gas leak. Her phone died, court heard, prompting a police response. On the day of the incident, a chemical discharge at the Domtar pulp mill led to a rash of odour complaints. RCMP Const. Lane Tobin tes-

tified at trial he showed up at the Klassens’ Westsyde mobile home and was assaulted when he attempted to enter the couple’s mobile home because “things didn’t add up” for him. “I told them I needed to check their trailer to make sure nothing was going on,” he said in court on March 1, the first day of the Klassens’ trial. Tobin claimed he arrested Olive Klassen after she assaulted her husband outside their trailer. Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley found Tobin’s story to be “exaggerated” and his credibility to be “troublesome.” Taking the stand in her own defence, Olive Klassen claimed she was violently assaulted by Tobin and another Mountie. Klassen became very emotional during her testimony and
made a number of unsubstantiated allegations against Tobin. During the trial, a deputy sheriff also testified she saw signs of injury on Olive Klassen’s body in the days following the alleged altercation. At the trial’s conclusion, defence lawyer Jay Michi called the interaction between Tobin and the Klassens “brutal.” “When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail,” Michi said of Tobin’s alleged actions. “Ms. Klassen looked, to him, like a nail. Did he go overboard? I think he did. That all makes sense. What Const. Tobin says does not make sense. I wish that’s not the case, but it is.” The Crown appeal is scheduled to be heard by a B.C. Supreme Court judge during the week of Nov. 26.

JESSICA WALLACE/KTW Out of the Heat program co-ordinator Renee Stein stands with Glen Currie at the shelter in St. Paul’s Cathedral. A heat wave expected to begin on Wednesday and stretch through the weekend should see many visitors to the shelter.
July 26–29 RIVERSIDE PARK KAMLOOPSBUSKERS.COM
A shelter that expanded this summer has hired some familiar faces. Two of the city’s homeless, who have used services at Out of the Cold’s extreme weather shelter in the basement of St. Paul’s Cathedral, are now working at Out of the Heat. “Let’s give a hand up instead of just a hand out,” program coordinator Renee Stein said. On Mondays and Fridays in July and August, Jennifer — who asked that her last name not be used in the newspaper — will be working in the kitchen, greeting clients and doing other odd jobs around the shelter. In return, she’s making $16 per hour two days a week. “Nine to three,” Jennifer, 44, said when KTW visited the shelter during her second shift. “But I was here at eight o’clock this morning.” City of Kamloops acting social development supervisor Natalie Serl said the city gave about $10,000 in funding to Out of the Heat. The decision stemmed from last summer’s wildfires and a need to be able to bring people indoors should this summer again be one dominated by poor air quality. “We’re trying this program out this year,” Serl said. The winter shelter has relied on volunteer efforts as people filled

the church space during cold days, but funding has allowed additional hiring. Board members thought new staff should include those who have accessed the shelter. “We thought, let’s select a few who we know this could not only benefit, but who really would excel,” Stein said. Jennifer sleeps in a tent and said mental-health issues have largely led to her circumstances. It’s been about three years since she last worked, but Jennifer is hoping Out of the Heat paycheques and experience will help her eventually secure housing. “It’s good for me, I think,” she said. “I’m a little nervous. I just don’t want to screw it up.” Stein said a home should not be a barrier to employment and noted the chicken and the egg factor. “We all come with our own baggage,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if I arrive in a Lexus or a shopping cart. We all have histories. We all come with our strengths and our weaknesses. It doesn’t really matter where we’re coming in from, we could still have all the potential.” For others, Out of the Heat offers a bed, toiletries and a bite to eat. The shelter can feed up to 60 people per day and has room for 30 people to sleep. Glen Currie — who popped by the shelter to shave, cut his nails and eat — said a bed will come in handy this summer.

He recalled waking up outside on summer days either burnt from the sun or soaking wet from a sprinkler. “If they see someone freezing, they’ll let you in,” Currie said. “If they see you boiling to death, they’ll give you a thing of water.” When KTW visited on a cooler July day, 11 people were sleeping at the shelter and several others popped in for lunch. One man, Tom, who frequented Out of the Cold in the past came by to visit friends and share a bite. Tom has terminal cancer and almost died of pneumonia when the Stuart Wood shelter closed on March 31. He has since obtained housing. “If you were to have seen a picture of him, you wouldn’t recognize him,” Stein said. “He’s our miracle story.” Stein said the shelter is “a bit depleted” after the winter. It is seeking donations, including miniature hotel soaps and shampoos, sanitary napkins, razors, underwear, beach bags, reusable grocery bags and backpacks. Summer clothing donations would also be appreciated. “I’ve got lots of toques and scarves,” Stein said. “We’ve got oodles of toques and scarves.” The shelter is open Mondays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is located in St. Paul’s Cathedral at Nicola Street and Fourth Avenue downtown. The entrance is in the back alley.

Savanna’s mad dash leads to cartloads of toys JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER

avanna Morris arrived at Toys R Us in Kamloops on Monday morning with a strategy and a gang of supporters. “Remember to stick to the route, Savanna,” dad Mike Morris said. Brother Ryder was told to grab toys on the right side of the store, while twin sister Kaylee was directed to her jurisdiction on the left. Lego, Crayola, Slime, Barbie — it was all within their reach. “I got it all organized,” Savanna said. Dua Lipa’s New Rules boomed by request into the Sahali store at 7:30 a.m., before the Toys R Us opened to the public and prior to second cups of coffee being poured. Captain Starlight counted down toward a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any kid — three minutes to grab as many toys from the shelves of the store as possible. The nine-year-old Penticton girl with cerebral palsy and autism was selected as one of 10 kids from across Canada to take part in this year’s 3-Minute Dash, which is geared at providing positive memories to ill children. Captain Starlight started the countdown: “Ladies and gentleman, five, four, three, two, one, go!” Savanna and her family were off.

Watch video of Savanna’s dash at kamloopsthisweek.com enjoy heaps of new toys, but dad Mike gets the prize for foresight. “Dad, you are the smartest guy. You brought a trailer,” Captain Starlight said. They rushed down the aisles, filling shopping carts labelled in the nine-year-old’s honour. The first three carts were filled with Star Wars Lego and a karaoke machine. Carts five through seven were stuffed with a T-Rex, Beauty and the Beast dolls and that coveted squishy, oozy material that’s so fun to stretch, pull and mould. “Did you get the Slime?” Captain Starlight asked. “Right there,” Savanna said. The family arrived
in Kamloops a day early to scope out the store and hide toys in places they’d be able to easily collect them. That strategy, however, didn’t work out as well as they had hoped. Unbeknownst to dad Mike, staff had cleaned up a hidden stack of Crayola products placed in one aisle the day before. It caused a moment of distress, with Mike frantically searching out items his daughter had earlier requested as Captain Starlight yelled, “Just grab it, dad! Take it,
take it, take it!” “Mayhem,” Mike Morris told KTW after the dash. Eight shopping carts overflowed with toys, some of which will be shared amongst Savanna’s three siblings. Ryder Morris was excited about a remotecontrolled car he picked up. Toys R Us president Melanie Teed-Murch said the family did “great,” noting dashers in the past usually filled between four and six carts. The Morris kids will
WHAT IS THE 3-MINUTE DASH? Savanna was selected as one of 10 kids from across Canada to take part in the 3-Minute Dash, made possible via a partnership between Toys R Us and the Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada. Toys R Us customers who donate money to the foundation during a fall and winter campaign helped pay for the shopping spree. Donning a purple and yellow superhero costume on Monday,
Captain Starlight doubles as Starlight’s vice-president of children’s services, Ghyslain Gagne. He has never missed a dash and has watched it grow from three to 10 shopping sprees each year across Canada. It’s a year of work that leads to three minutes of joy. “This is winning the lottery [for a kid],” Gagne said. “This is it.” Toys R Us Kamloops store director Sandra Mori said the event is uplifting for employees, who helped the family and were on hand to blast off confetti and balloons in the store on Monday morning. Mori doesn’t mind cleaning up bits of paper shot all over her
store after “uncertainty” following the shuttering of Toys R Us stores in the United States (see related story on the Business front, page A19, of today’s newspaper). Mori said the event was “very invigorating for my team.” She said it was also important they see where the money goes, noting staff ask customers October through December to donate to the cause and put a star up on the store wall. Teed-Murch said the “moment of joy” aligns with company values. But it’s Savanna and her family who won’t soon forget their latest trip to the toy store. “It’s huge to us,” Mike Morris said.

Q: I’m a 68-year-old man who seldom drinks and has never tried marijuana or other drugs. I played in a rock band in my youth and drugs and alcohol were all around me, yet they held no appeal to me. I am one of those people who can’t understand what it must be like to be addicted to something. I hear people say “addicts should never have started in the first place” or “they know it’s killing them, so why don’t they quit?” Can you explain to us who don’t understand, how it feels to be truly addicted? At what stage did you realize that you were no longer a social drinker or drug user, and were now truly addicted? — Bob Dear Bob: Addiction is horrific. I did not know I was an addict until I tried to stop, but by then it was far too late. The definition of substance abuse is continued use despite adverse consequences (including death). I continue to use,
ASK AN ADDICT Welcome to Ask an Addict, a column penned by a Kamloops scholar with expertise in addiction issues and someone who is also an addict. The column is meant to inform and help, which is particularly important as we remain mired in an opioid crisis that continues to claim thousands of lives each year. If you have a question you would like answered, email it to editor@ kamloopsthisweek.com. Anonymity is guaranteed. even when horrible things happen. If I could stop, I wouldn’t have the disease. When I drink, something wonderful happens to me. I feel warm, soft, powerful and confident. I can dance with two left feet and hold a conversation. Normally, I am shy, anxious and afraid. The only thing that seems to free me from self is taking that first drug (yes, alcohol is a drug). When I take a drink, I feel warm, confident and supremely relaxed. It’s like I had been freezing all my life, standing outdoors in subzero weather, barefoot with
wet clingy clothing. When I take that first drink, for the first time ever I discover a hot, soothing tub. When I slowly slip in, everything becomes overwhelming glowing and subtly safe. I am comforted and protected. It is like I have returned to my mothers’ womb. It is difficult to explain addiction to “normies” — the name we addicts jealously apply to people who cannot finish their drink. It makes absolutely no sense to us when you leave half-filled glasses around. Seeing this is just as confusing for us as it is for you when you see us pick up that drink
over and over again. Death is not a deterrent for us. Like all adolescents who think they will live forever, we think we will not die. In fact, when the disease progresses, death becomes a reasonable, and quite often, welcome option for me —especially when I relapse. I consume more to ease my shame, my guilt and remorse. I would rather die than face others’ disappointment in me. I remember sitting alone in my bathroom after an overdose of fentanyl. I was a health-care worker and knew I was dying. I also knew that going to the emergency room would save me. Rather than go there and reveal who I was, I slipped into a tub to scrub off the fentanyl patches. I know it makes no sense to think I could hide in my death. However, at that time, death was preferable over facing the shame, anger, judgment, confusion and pain of others. I intensely hated myself and knew they would, too.
That first drink and that first drug is like having a child — incredible pain that dissipates at the moment of birth. When parents hold their first child, overwhelming euphoria arrives. Memories of blood, sweat and tears fade into the past. That is what addiction is like to me. All I can remember is the moment of joy. It is a neverending sad cycle. Imagine being freezing cold, slipping into a tub and, when the water runs cold, trying to use willpower alone to warm it again. Addiction is like having a dinosaur-sized mosquito bite, That bite scratches my brain. In active addiction, I focus only on that. My world narrows as everything is about finding relief. People blame us for having the disease. They ask me why I don’t stop. The very definition of substance abuse is continued use despite adverse consequences. If I could stop, then I don’t have the disease. It is a catch-22 — telling us addicts to quit when the very diagnostic criteria tells us we can’t.

POST-WILDFIRES PET CARE Forty pets from areas affected by last year’s summer wildfires have been spayed or neutered by the Four Paws Food Bank. Bonnie McBride, president of the organization, said there were donations left over from those collected last year to deal with veterinary expenses and other animal-related needs. She said that money was used it its spay-neuter program to help people who experienced hardship due to the wildfires. To qualify, people had to show they were evacuated and directly impacted by the fires. Partnering with veterinary clinics in Williams Lake and Cache Creek, Four Paws covered 80 per cent of the neutering costs. In addition to veterinary care, the organization has been supplying pet food regularly to 100 Mile House and Cache Creek residents impacted by the fires.

BC Hydro has completed the second phase of its electric vehicle fast-charging network, which will allow drivers to travel across B.C. from the Alberta border to Tofino. The second phase of the network includes 28 new stations, in addition to the 30 that were completed in 2016. There are two new stations at the Britton Creek rest area on the Coquihalla Highway, just north of the former toll booth, allowing drivers to quickly charge up before heading to the Lower Mainland or to the Southern Interior. BC Hydro is planning its next phase, which will connect drivers to the north from Kamloops to Prince George and, eventually, to Prince Rupert. The Crown corporation’s fast-charging network can charge an electric vehicle’s battery to 80 per cent in 30 minutes or less. The cost to charge vehicles at BC Hydro stations is 35 cents per kilowatt hour. The Nissan Leaf, for example, takes 40 KWh to become fully charged. the vehicle has a maximum range of 242 kilometres while fully charged. To fully charge at a BC Hydro fastcharging station, the cost would be about $14. There are now about 9,000 electric vehicles on the road in B.C. and that number is expected to rise to 300,000 by 2030.

PM says Canada will not double Survey defence spending despite Trump’s calls details
‘UNUSUAL OBJECTS’
TERESA WRIGHT
CANADIAN PRESS
RIGA, Latvia — Justin Trudeau held the line on Tuesday in the face of calls from Donald Trump for NATO members to increase their defence spending as the prime minister insisted Canada has no plans to double the amount of money spent on its military. At the same time, Trudeau played down the weight given to an agreement made by all NATO allies, including Canada, in 2014 to spend two per cent of GDP on defence within the next decade, saying it’s just one way to measure a country’s commitment to the military alliance. The two per cent target, he said, is “an easy shorthand,’’ but also a “limited tool’’ to measure a country’s commitment to the alliance. The prime minister’s comments came on the eve of what many expect will be one of the most contentious meetings between NATO leaders in the alliance’s 69-year history, with Trump having put allies on notice that they need to pony up on defence — or else. “Many countries in NATO, which we are expected to defend, are not only short of their current commitment of 2% (which is low), but are also delinquent for many years in payments that have not been made. Will they reimburse the U.S.?’’ Trump tweeted Tuesday. Canada hasn’t been spared the U.S. president’s wrath. Trump sent a letter to Ottawa ahead of the summit expressing his “growing frustration’’ over the fact the two per cent target is still not being met by the majority of alliance nations. While the target was initially billed as aspirational, Trump and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg have seized on it as an important way to measure each member’s commitment to the alliance. Indeed, four NATO countries have adopted laws or political agreements requiring the target be met. A new report released by NATO
KTW FILE PHOTO Canada has no plans to double its military spending, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in Europe on Tuesday. The federal Liberal government has promised to increase defence spending by 70 per cent over the next decade, however. U.S. President Donald Trump has called out NATO allies who do not spend two per cent of GDP on defence.
ahead of the summit predicted Canada would spend 1.23 per cent of its GDP on defence this year, a small increase from last year but still putting it 18th out of the alliance’s 29 members. And while the Liberal government has promised to increase defence spending by 70 per cent over the next decade, its own figures project those investments will only raise total spending to 1.4 per cent of GDP by 2024. Trudeau played down the two per cent target during a visit with Canadian troops at the Adazi military base outside Riga, where they are leading one of four NATO battle groups tasked with deterring Russian aggression in the region. Trudeau said that while the two

per cent target remains a legitimate way of measuring the commitment of alliance members, he considers tangible and consistent resources and leadership, which Canada continues to demonstrate, to be more important. “I think it’s an important metric, amongst many others, to gauge how countries are doing in terms of contributors to NATO,’’ Trudeau said. “Ultimately, the more important metrics are always, ‘Are countries stepping up consistently with the capacities that NATO needs? Are we leading in different opportunities? Are we contributing the kinds of resources and demonstrating the kind of commitment to the alliance that

always needs to be there?’ “That’s a metric by which Canada can be extraordinarily proud.’’ When asked directly whether Canada plans to meet the two per cent target, Trudeau said simply that there are no plans to double Canada’s defence budget, which currently stands at around $20 billion a year. The prime minister’s visit to Latvia on the eve of the leaders’ summit sought to drive that message home as Trudeau announced Canadian troops would continue to lead the NATO battle group through 2023. The government is also adding about 80 more troops, bringing the total to around 530. Speaking in Brussels ahead of the leaders’ summit that starts on Wednesday, Stoltenberg applauded Canada and European allies for having reversed years of cuts and investing more in defence while also contributing more troops and equipment to collective security — even as he pushed back on suggestions the military alliance was in trouble. “My message is that we are actually now stepping up,’’ Stoltenberg told reporters. “European allies are stepping up. Canada is stepping up. And we’re also doing more together, North America — the United States, Canada — and Europe. And I’m absolutely certain that this summit will show that we are able to deliver on security, on defence despite the disagreements we see on trade and other issues.’’ At the same time, the NATO chief said more needs to be done, and that Canada and its European allies “should not increase defence spending to please the United States,’’ but because meeting the two per cent target is important for their own security and defence. “That’s the reason why they agreed to invest more in defence back in 2014,’’ Stoltenberg said. “The reason to invest is not to please the United States. The reason to invest more in defence is because it’s needed because we live in a more unpredictable world.’’
Canadian UFO reports CANADIAN PRESS
Hovering lights in the sky. Pulsing lights. A humming noise. Objects shaped like spheres, discs, triangles and boomerangs. The witnesses include ordinary folk, airline crews, a particle physicist and an airport’s weather observer. A survey released by Manitobabased Ufology Research on Tuesday says there were 1,101 UFO sightings — an average of three a day — reported in Canada in 2017. About eight per cent of those were deemed unexplainable. “Many people continue to report unusual objects in the sky, and some of these objects do not have obvious explanations,’’ the survey said. “Many witnesses are pilots, police and other individuals with reasonably good observing capabilities and good judgment.’’ Quebec had the most sightings at 518. Nunavut had the fewest at two. Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Edmonton topped the cities with the most UFO reports. Ufology Research takes data from all known sources, including UFO organizations, government files, direct witness reports, media and some internet posts. Its analysis takes into account location, types of encounters, reliability of witnesses and strangeness of sightings. Some of the more bizarre unexplained reports from 2017 included: • Jan. 5, 6 p.m: Two people in French River, Ont., observed multiple colours for about 10 minutes. Several coloured “orbs’’ approached the witnesses and hovered before moving away. “Witnesses were very frightened.’’ • March 15, 7:20 p.m: Crews on two separate airliners 65 kilometres northeast of Enderby reported a bright, white strobing light above them. Radar indicated no other known aircraft were in the vicinity.

Melanie Teed-Murch didn’t deliberately look for a job with Toys R Us 22 years ago — but she’s now crossing the country telling Canadians all the jobs at the chain are safe and the company is thriving. Fairfax Financial Holdings, a Toronto-based company, bought the chain for $300 million, a deal that kept 82 stores in Canada open and saved more than 4,000 jobs, including those at the Kamloops store in Columbia Square in Sahali. The American side of the chain, however, closed its 735 stores in June, putting more than 31,000 people out of work. In March, the United Kingdom side of the chain also closed all 100 stores, with about 3,000 people losing their jobs. Neither was able to find a buyer nor restructure debt of billions. When its American counterpart announced plans in March to file for bankruptcy, Teed-Murch said the Canadian side had “a Defcon” meeting and then decided to focus on telling people it’s not affected by

the U.S. shutdown. Instead, she said, Toys “R” Us Canada found an investor in Fairfax and decided to take the company’s message and its prototype new store model across the country. The message is succinct, she said. Toys “R” Us is Canadian-owned. It has control of all intellectual

property associated with the brand, as well as its own private brands — and its future is bright, despite its inability to recover about $100 million in unsecured loans to the U.S. side in recent years as it tried to help those stores continue to operate. Teed-Murch anticipates opening new stores, perhaps bigger ones or
pop-ups around holiday seasons in locations that can’t support yearround outlets. There could be outreach to mothers’ groups and lactation counsellors and other familyfocused services in stores to interact with the community on a regular basis. Birthday-party rooms are another possibility. The company will also continue to support charities. The stores themselves will be changing based on prototypes in Langley and Barrie, Ont. The new format includes an increased focus on customer experience in the stores, with improved sightlines and shelving units that are not ceiling-high. Stocking shelves will not be done necessarily by brands, but more along play patterns. The company will also add play and interactive areas with brain teasers, board games and hopscotch — ways for kids of most ages to sit down and play rather than simply looking at packages on shelves. On the purchasing side, customers will have mobile pay options and an online method to order something one might be looking for in their community store but not

find, pay for it and have it delivered to their home. Teed-Murch acknowledged a click isn’t the same as spending time in a Toys “R” Us store, but said the company needs to provide all options to its consumer base — in-store experiences and online access. She said the Kamloops store has some of the aspects of the prototypes — the Babies “R” Us section has been moved to the front and the focus is on the customer experience. Teed-Murch praised the Kamloops store for its staff enthusiasm, knowledge and pride. Her visit on Monday coincided with the Starlight Dash shopping spree for Savanna Morris and her family, who had three minutes to grab as many toys as they could (see related story on page A15). The joy she witnessed during that early-morning spree speaks to the underlying belief that fuels the company, Teed-Murch said. “We believe in the power of play. We believe play is a right for kids. Stop giving them that iPad and play with them. Get on the floor and play with Lego. Play some board games. “Play is important.”

Work on RIH’s patient-care tower may begin soon Shovels could be in the ground within months on next phase in hospital expansion DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Work could begin later this year on the next construction project at Royal Inland Hospital — the patient-care tower. David Fowler, director of major capital development with Interior Health, said proposals from EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare (EllisDon Construction and Building Services), InterRiver Healthcare Partners (Bird Construction) and Plenary Health (PCL Construction) are being reviewed by a committee now. Once that evaluation is done, those that meet the vision IH has for the tower will be asked to submit the financial side of their plans. They have two weeks to do that, Fowler said, but in recent weeks, there has been constant communication between IHA and the three to clarify aspects. Another committee of people will assess the financial side and then one builder will be chosen, likely by August.
The $417-million tower, which is expected to open in 2022, will include mental-health and medical/surgical beds, a surgical suite, a perinatal centre with labour and delivery rooms, obstetrics and postpartum beds and a neonatal intensive-care unit. It will have underground parking and a roof helipad. The building will be 11 storeys high and is expected to include 11 operating rooms. Funding is being shared between three sources, with $225 million coming from the province and IH, $172 million from the Thompson Regional Hospital District and $20 million from the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. Fowler said each of the three companies has its own ongoing work schedule and that will factor into any groundbreaking, but noted it’s expected site-servicing work will begin in the fall. “So far, we’re right on the timeline and doing well,” he said. The tower will be built on the east side of the hospital in an

area that is now a parking lot for doctors and other staff. When the project was announced by then-health minister Terry Lake in February 2017, he said it will
be the single-largest in Kamloops’ history and could create 2,400 construction jobs. Once complete, IH will take a few months before starting on its
next project, a major renovation of the second floor of the hospital that will include a massive expansion of the emergency department.
Does Money Buy Happiness? One of the most popular courses in America is Psychology and the Good Life. Yale professor Laurie Santos offers a course in “positive psychology” as opposed to psychological dysfunction. Dr. Santos wanted to teach not just the science of happiness but also the practice of happiness. And happiness, it turns out, does take practice. Her students must do a free online survey offered by the University of Pennsylvania titled the “Authentic Happiness Inventory” to establish baseline happiness, and then check in at the end to see how they’ve progressed. Professor Santos’s course includes 21 lectures of up-todate findings and proven methods to increase your wellbeing. Before we get happiness, we have to understand why we often get it wrong. Our minds persuade us to follow intuitions that turn out to be entirely wrong. For example: list the things that you think would make you happier: more money, a new home, vacation, etc. Your mind is constantly telling you that if you just got those things, you’d finally be unequivocally happy. Nearly everything we think will make us happier however doesn’t because it is only a circumstantial change. Many of us assume that circumstances play the biggest role in our happiness; however, research suggests roughly 50% of happiness is determined by genes, 10% by circumstance and the final 40% is determined by
your thoughts, actions, and attitudes (within our control) (Lyubomirsky Sonja, "The How of Happiness"). To determine what makes people happy, psychologist found it effect to study the habits of people who already identify as happy which include: devoting time to family and friends, practicing gratitude, practicing optimism and keeping physically active.
Interestingly, there is an income amount that does bring a level of happiness. Nobel Prize–winning economists Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton studied 1,000 American households and discovered that well-being rises with income until you hit $75,000, at which point it levels off. Beyond that, he found no observable increase in happiness with higher income.
Some excellent activities to improve one's well-being or “rewire” your brain toward happiness: 1) Sleep: get at least seven hours of sleep 2) Gratitude: One study found that taking the time to journal just three things daily over 15 days led to better well-being in 94% of respondents 3) Turn Your Phone Off: the evolution of smartphones has perpetuated electronic stimulation and dependency 4) Philanthropy: there three main ways to give back: Time, Talent or Treasure 5) Meditate: even as little as ten minutes per day. 6) Be Responsible: looking after children, pets or even a garden have shown to increase happiness 7) Get Active: In addition to keeping healthy and releasing endorphins, if it is sunny outside, you get some vitamin-D
Generally, Western society does a terrible job of valuing time and money correctly. Money is theoretically infinite whereas time continuously depletes. Sadly we often associate money and wealth with success and status. For example: Many people would accept a new job with a higher pay if it meant an increased hours or a longer commute.
Those who know me, know I am "Type-A" and a goal chaser. While many of my accomplishments have brought a sense of joy and accomplishment they are not lasting. Honestly, I must work on my own happiness. I somewhat reluctantly completed the Authentic Happiness Inventory and was satisfied with the outcome but I admittedly I can do more of #1,2,4 and 6.
What about money? Michael Norton of Harvard Business surveyed millionaires and asked, "How much more money would you need to be a perfect 10 in happiness?" People with $1 million said $3 million. People with $3 million said $9 million. And so it went all the way up. Money doesn’t make people unhappy. It’s just not the only currency that’s important.
On the other hand, studies have shown that people derive more happiness from time. One experiment,

participants were offered $40 to spend it on a time-saving purchase (ordering takeout, hiring a house cleaner, etc.). The same participants were offered another $40, to spend on a material good. The subjects reported being happier when they spent the money to buy "time" or the alleviation of time pressure.

In what might be the least surprising development in 2018 regional sports, the Kamloops Venom and Vernon Tigers have earned berths in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League final. Game 1 of the best-of-five junior B championship series will be played in Vernon on Sunday. The Venom will play host to Game 2 on Tuesday, with game time set for 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Arena. Kamloops and Vernon will be squaring off in the TOJLL final for the seventh straight year. The Snakes have prevailed in the past three finals and have won four of the last six. Vernon will enter the 2018 championship showdown fixated on vengeance, boasting a roster that is capable of knocking off Kamloops. “More than anything, it’s the continuity in their club,” Venom coach Doug Clark said of the Tigers. “They lost maybe two guys [to graduation after the 2017 campaign]. We lost nine. “And they have a young goaltender, a kid from Castlegar, [Kyle] McIntosh, who’s had an outstanding season.” No. 1-seed Vernon (9-1-20), which edged Kamloops by one point to finish atop regular-season standings, met the No. 4 South Okanagan Flames (1-8-2-1) of Penticton in a semifinal series.

12-4 victory in Vernon on Monday securing a 3-0 series triumph. “We’re glad they got Penticton,” Clark said. “They’re better than their record showed.” No. 2-seed Kamloops (9-2-1-0) earned a 17-4 victory over the No. 3 Armstrong Shamrocks (2-9-1-0) at Memorial Arena on Monday, a win that secured a threegame sweep of the other semifinal series. “Their roster was pretty depleted with injury,” Clark said. “It wasn’t a big challenge.” Officials and team representatives agreed on 20 minutes of running time for the second period and 10 minutes of running time for the third frame on Monday.
Tylor Seabrooke and Nolan Virgo each registered three goals for the Venom. Trey Dergousoff, Zach Hebden and Kordell Primus scored two goals apiece and Brady Georget, Kolby Pauwels, Ryan Wightman, Adam Gardner and Spencer Vaughan each had singles. Ethan Milobar earned the victory in goal. The 2017 TOJLL final was one of the best in league history, a five-game slobberknocker that needed overtime in Game 5 in Kamloops to decide a winner. Venom runner Kolby Pauwels notched the deciding goal in the extra frame on a balmy Tuesday night in the Snake Pit, putting an exclamation mark on a see-
saw series in which the home team won every game. Three of the contests — Games 3, 4 and 5 — were one-goal games. Kamloops and Vernon locked horns in four 2018 regular-season matchups. Vernon earned a 13-7 win at Memorial Arena on April 21; the teams tied 9-9 at KalTire Place in Vernon on May 26; the Tigers hammered the Venom 14-1 in Vernon on June 9; and the Venom edged the Tigers 10-8 at Memorial on June 23. Nathan Fraser is not expected to be available to play for Kamloops in the final. He suffered a broken hand. “Other than that, we’re almost injury-free and we’re ready to rock,” Clark said.
Blazers hire Kordic as assistant coach The Kamloops Blazers went back to the University of Alberta to round out their coaching staff. Dan Kordic, an assistant coach for the Golden Bears for the past two seasons, was named assistant coach for the Blazers on Monday. Blazers’ general manager Matt Bardsley last month hired Serge Lajoie as head coach. Lajoie spent the past three seasons as head coach of the Golden
DAN KORDIC Bears and led them to a U Sports title last season.
“He [Kordic] came highly recommended, and after speaking with Dan, along with people who know him as a coach and person, it was clear that he is the right person to work alongside Serge,” Bardsley said in a press release. Kordic, from Edmonton, played four seasons on the Medicine Hat Tigers’ blue line, from 1987 to 1991, and won a Memorial Cup with the club in 1988.
He went on to play 197 games with the Philadelphia Flyers in the NHL and 176 games with the Hershey Bears in the AHL in a pro career that spanned eight seasons. “He brings a wealth of playing experience at the NHL and AHL levels but, more importantly, his passion for developing players and building strong relationships with the players will be a tremendous asset to our team,” Lajoie said. “I’m extremely
pleased to add someone with such high character and strong commitment to excellence to our staff.” Kordic was no stranger to the penalty box during his time in the NHL, finishing with 584 penalty minutes in 197 games. His brother, John Kordic, was a famed NHL enforcer and won a Stanley Cup with the Montreal Canadiens in 1986, but struggled with addiction and died in 1992. He was 27.

MERCHANTS ACQUIRE KIBT TITLE, DEAL DYNASTIC STUDS DEFEAT The reign ended late Sunday afternoon at Norbrock Stadium on McArthur Island.

Southgate leading more-humble England on World Cup foray DANICA KIRKA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — In an age of tattoos, tongue piercings and tensions over Brexit, a soft-spoken man in a dark blue waistcoat and striped tie is uniting England amid dreams of victory in soccer’s World Cup. Coach Gareth Southgate is the buttoned-down leader of a new generation of players who speak softly and let their victories silence critics. England supporters have found that refreshing after years of underperforming teams led by stars such as David Beckham, who became as much a celebrity as an athlete. “He’s very much about a team spirit. It’s more about the collective — you can see it in the way he deals with the squad,’’ said Paul Willis, who was in the stands on Saturday in Samara, Russia, when
England reached the semifinals with a 2-0 victory over Sweden. “We had superstars, but we didn’t have a team.’’ England will play Croatia in a World Cup semifinal showdown on Wednesday. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. France topped Belgium 1-0 in the other semifinal on Tuesday. Southgate’s focus on teamwork and civility has made him an unlikely icon in a country that is deeply divided by bitter arguments over plans to leave the European Union and a widening gap between rich and poor. England Captain Harry Kane may be the tournament’s leading scorer, but fans are donning waistcoats and ties — even as the country enjoys an unusually hot summer — in homage to Southgate as pundits extol the 47-year-old coach’s calm leadership. “He has shown us the value of courtesy, kind-
ness, hard work and that most derided of virtues, niceness,’’ columnist India Knight wrote in the Sunday Times. “ Southgate displayed his character after England’s July 3 victory over Colombia, offering a supportive hug to Colombian player Mateus Uribe after his miss in a penalty shootout helped England advance. The England coach understood Uribe’s agony, having missed a similar shot at the 1996 European championships. The moment of empathy also reminded the country how Southgate once lampooned his own failure with a Pizza Hut commercial in which he wore a bag over his head to shield his identity from angry fans. London authorities are inviting 30,000 fans to the city’s Hyde Park for a screening of Wednesday’s semifinal.

Trucker in Humboldt crash released on bail RYAN MCKENNA
CANADIAN PRESS
MELFORT, Sask. — The father of one of the hockey players killed in the Humboldt Broncos bus crash said he felt empty as he caught the eye of an accused truck driver who was released on $1,000 bail in court on Tuesday. Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, who is 29 and from Calgary, faces several conditions, including
that he not drive and that he surrender his passport. He is charged with 16 counts of dangerous driving causing death and 13 counts of dangerous driving causing bodily injury. Two parents, Scott Thomas and Myles Shumlanski, were in provincial court in Melfort, Sask., for Sidhu’s appearance. The case was put over to Aug. 21. Thomas, whose son Evan
died in the crash, said he felt compelled to go. “It was what we expected. We kind of expected that he would get bail,’’ said Thomas. “I just wanted to come today and represent the families who maybe wanted to be here that couldn’t be here and at least have a presence in the building. Maybe he would feel a bit responsible for taking our sons’ lives.’’ Thomas said he caught
Sidhu’s eye once, but just felt empty. “In case this goes to a plea bargain, at least he can put my face to it,’’ he said. “That’s all I wanted to accomplish today ... to hopefully see him face to face and, in case this never goes to trial, he’s seen my face.’’ Shumlanski, whose son Nicolas was injured, didn’t speak to the media. Neither Sidhu nor his defence lawyer spoke outside court.
NILES 22ND AT JUNIOR GOLF PROVINCIALS; MILLER 29TH Adam Niles shot a final round 80 on Friday to finish tied for 22nd at the 2018 B.C.

Zali finished with a four-round score of 272. Another Kamloops golfer, Taylor Kaban of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club, competed, but missed the cut, as did Ty Bradley, whose hometown is
Bennington, Neb., but who was playing out of the host course. Meanwhile, Kamloops golfer Georgia Miller finished 29th at the 2018 B.C. Junior Girls’ Golf Championship at the Kimberley Golf Club. Miller shot a finalround 81 to card a four-round score of 327. Phoebe Yue of West Vancouver won the title with a four-round score of 290, defeating Leah John of Vancouver in a playoff.

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS
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!
There are two types of buns (white and brown) and three types of wieners (plain wiener, smokey and cheese smokey). Each hot dog has one bun and one wiener. There are three sauce condiments: mustard, relish and ketchup. There are three other types of condiments: onion garlic and hot peppers. At this point, there are 384 possible combinations, but that is simple and where is the fun in that? No one in his right mind — you want your biases, create your own puzzle — would: 1) have no sauce condiments at all or have all three of mustard, relish and ketchup; 2) have hot peppers on a white bun; 3) have more than four condiments.

Her cherished great-grandchildren Gabriel Starr, Drew Starr, Branden Starr, Raven LeBourdais and Taya LeBourdais Raised at 8-Mile ranch near Clinton, Vye took care of her brothers and sisters, sewing masterpiece cowboy shirts for her brothers and stunning dresses for her sisters from scratch. Vye was a master cook, weaving her way from the Cariboo down to Vancouver, starting at the Clinton Hotel, the Bob Inn/ Frontier Inn, the Gang Ranch & Empire Valley and the Vancouver Hotel. In Vancouver, she earned social services certificate at the Vancouver Community

In Loving Memory Of
College. She was known as a hard worker, be it as a cook, working at the sawmill at Savona, to her social work on the streets of Vancouver and later for her work for the Interior Indian Friendship Center in Kamloops.
Kevin Fenton Robertson November 29, 1963 - July 12, 2003
Through my eyes, you’ve seen the obstacles I’ve overcome and challenges I’ve faced without you.
Vye travelled the world and left a path of memories from Chile and Arizona with sisters Norah and Weetsie. The Golden Girls are synonymous with laughter and crazy stories including one where Vye smuggled car parts to Chile hidden in her luggage in the 1970s. Vye’s growl will be remembered and respected by anyone who knew her and made both dogs and grown men shudder and run for cover. Growl aside, she touched many and will be dearly missed by all who had the good fortune to know her.
Over my shoulder, you have witnessed the struggles that I’ve fought, the loneliness I’ve waded through.
Vye’s Celebration of Life will be at 1:00 pm on Friday, July 13, 2018 in the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Dr., Kamloops with a reception to follow.
In my ear, you’ve whispered “keep going” “be strong- I’m here with you”.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com
www.myalternatives.ca
250-554-2577
In my hand, has rested yours, many times you’ve led me Down The Greener path. Around my shoulders, you have held me, kept me safe and comforted my pain.
In my past, memories that keep me smiling, keep me going, wanting to make you proud. In my heart, a calm, knowing you have watched me grow, learn, accomplish and become my own person. In my tomorrow, hopes and dreams... and knowing that I am never alone in chasing them.
Always in our memories
Love Rory, Leah, Jacqui, Ian and Duncan
