TRU launches e-bike rental program to ease parking woes University has fleet of 12 e-bikes available for students, staffers MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

TRU’s sustainability office has launched a two-wheeled solution to the parking demand at the local university with a new e-bike sharing program. Electric bicycles, also known as the e-bike, look just like any ordinary bike, but come with an electric motor to provide a cyclist with some extra pedal-power. James Gudjonson, director of Thompson Rivers University’s sustainability office, said he believes the electric bicycles will be popular with students this coming fall semester after seeing some initial success rolling out the program over the summer. The program has been in place for about three months now and so far the office has been inundated with requests. “Right now the bikes are out almost all the time [and] it’s hard to get a bike. You have to book almost a week in advance,” he said. Similar to checking out a library book, the dozen e-bikes the sustainability office has in its fleet are loaned out to students, faculty or staff for use up to a week at a time. “They can use it again and again, but they can use it for a week straight,” said Gudjonson. The bikes are a good alternative to taking the bus for students who need to get to work, school or run errands on their own timetable. “For some students that work late hours when the buses aren’t running it seems to be working quite well, so we hope to add a few more bikes to the fleet over the fall,” he said. TRU’s sustainability office launched the program in an effort to increase the variety of transportation options on campus. “As the campus grows and

Searchers still looking for woman believed lost in mudslide KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW James Gudjonson, the director of TRU’s sustainability office, models one of the university’s 12 rental e-bikes, which are available to students, staff and faculty for up to a week at a time.

parking — and parking stalls — become more of a premium, we want to increase the alternate transportation options and make it accessible for students, faculty and staff,” Gudjonson said. The office also wants to promote a healthy lifestyle on campus and reduce the university’s carbon footprint through the e-bike program. The newest models of e-bikes can provide a cyclist with enough juice to travel approximately 60 km, and saves users money by cutting down on the multitude of costs associated to driving a car such as parking, insurance and gas, Gudjonson said. “You can ride right to your door,” he said. An e-bike can cost about $2,500 but if used as the primary mode of transportation should pay for itself in a year, Gudjonson added. When it comes to locking up the bikes, users still need to rely

on an old-fashioned bike lock, but the sustainability office is working with a software developer to create an electronic locking system that will enable cyclists to lock and track their e-bike via an app. With residential buildings being erected on campus for the first time, the sustainability office also wants to see e-bike charging stations around town and is in early talks with talking to the City of Kamloops about creating them. “We think this is going to grow, not only on the campus, but hopefully across the city,” Gudjonson said. The e-bikes can be booked online through TRU’s website, and the program is one of three ridesharing options the university has in place. Students, faculty and staff can also take advantage of a free hybrid electric vehicle rental program and the university’s partnership with the American carsharing company Zipcar.

Police are now treating the search effort for a 67-year-old woman caught in a mudslide near Cache Creek on Saturday as a recovery mission. “There’s not much hope at this point that she will be found alive,” RCMP Sgt. Janelle Shoihet told KTW. “We would have hoped to have found her by now.” Valerie Morris and her husband Tom, also 67, were travelling to Kamloops from Vancouver in a group of six classic cars on their way when the convoy ran into heavy rain while driving through the 3300-block of Highway 99. The couple from Sechelt pulled over to the side of the road and Tom got out to put the top up on their 1968 Morgan convertible when the mudslide hit. “Mrs. Morris and the vehicle were washed away while he was standing on the roadway and he was able to get out of the way,” Shoihet said. Morris’ husband sustained some minor injuries, Shoihet said. The mudslide pushed the vehicle, with Morris in it, about 35 metres down an embankment and into a riverbed. “That entire area is being searched by police and search and rescue,” Shoihet said. She said their search efforts are expected to continue through the week and into the weekend. Shoihet said water levels have receded making for more favourable conditions in the area police have been searching since receiving the call Saturday evening that the vehicle had been washed off the road.

State of emergency declared as hundreds of wildfires continue to burn across B.C. Declaration gives broader authority to officials to help residents KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Officials have declared a state of emergency in B.C. to support the response to the hundreds of wildfires burning across the province. B.C.’s Minister of Public Safety Mike Farnworth made the declaration on Wednesday. “Public safety is always our first priority and, as wildfire activity is expected to increase, this is a progressive step in our wildfire response to make sure British Columbia has access to any and all resources necessary,” he said. “Taking this step will further ensure we can protect the public, property and infrastructure, and assist with firefighting efforts.” The state of emergency will be in effect for two weeks, but may be extended or rescinded based on wildfire activity. The declaration gives government officials and police broader authority to take steps to fight fires and protect people and structures. During 2017’s record-setting summer wildfire season, a pro-

There are nearly 600 wildfires burning across B.C., with 29 evacuation orders in effect displacing more than 3,000 people. An additional 48 evacuation alerts are in place, meaning thousands more should be ready to flee at a moment’s notice. More than 3,300 firefighters, some from as far away as

MORTGAGE MATTERS Co-signers are cool again! For the last few years it has been nice for first-time homebuyers to get out from under expensive rents and into home ownership – without the need for a co-signer. But changes to Canada’s mortgage rules have made co-signers a necessity for some buyers. What’s changed? 1) Stress test – buyers are subject to a higher interest rate to test their ability to afford future higher payments 2) Income rules – buyers require more proof of income, including: Job letter; recent pay-stubs; two years T-4 and T-1 General; two years Notice of Assessment from Revenue Canada. The new rules mean your bank or mortgage broker might ask for things they had never previously requested. 3) Bank Reserves – You could be charged more for borrowing because banks are being asked to hold onto more cash in case of mortgage defaults or missed payments. 4) Changes lead to changes – This change to mortgage lending rules is HOT off the presses, so not every lender has decided how to respond. Questions like, “What do you do about specialty mortgages like rental?” or “How do you properly price mortgages?” are on bankers’ minds. Regulators and banks are still working out the kinks in this new lending environment. As a professional mortgage broker, it’s my job to navigate the rules for you and to find the bank that will say YES to you, OR to outline a plan that will get a YES in the near future. I am here to help. Contact me anytime to find out what these mortgage changes could mean for you and your plans in 2017! Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

Admitted groper will not have record if he writes essay

A Kamloops man who admitted in court to groping the breast of a co-worker as part of an unwanted sexual advance will not have a criminal record if he writes an essay — no fewer than 500 words — about appropriate workplace behaviour and the meaning of consent. Philip Raggatt was sentenced on Wednesday in Kamloops provincial court. The 63-year-old had been charged with one count of sexual assault stemming from an incident earlier this year at his former place of work but pleaded guilty to the lesser included offence of simple assault, with the consent of a prosecutor. Court heard Raggatt and a female co-worker were alone in a room on Feb. 8 when the assault took place. Crown prosecutor Alison Buchanan said the advances included kissing, groping and a verbal request for oral sex. After the woman said no, Buchanan said, Raggatt grabbed her breast one more time as she left the room. “Mr. Raggatt believed there was consent, however his belief didn’t necessarily coincide with the legal definition of consent,” she said. Lawyers ironed out a plea bargain that saw Raggatt sentenced for the lesser offence of assault despite the sexual nature of the groping. “The intention was sexual, but we’ve reached a resolution that we feel is fair,” Buchanan said, noting the guilty plea does away with what could have been a “lengthy” trial. “It’s essentially a compromise

and it reflects the low-level nature of what is complained of in this offence.” Defence lawyer Brad Smith described Raggatt as a family man who made a terrible mistake. “This offence stems from a workplace relationship that grew from friendly to flirtatious to inappropriate,” he said, noting Raggatt was fired following the incident. “Certainly, up to a point, there was no issue that there was consensual contact between them, some of which was sexual in nature.” Raggatt, a father of two who has been married for 39 years and has no prior criminal record, apologized in court. “It was a very bad judgment and I regret it,” he said. “I’ll have to live with this for the rest of my life. … This is the stupidest thing I’ve done in my life and, at 63 years of age, the most regrettable.” Provincial court Judge Dennis Morgan agreed to Smith’s request for a conditional discharge — meaning Raggatt won’t have a criminal record if he completes 12 months of probation without a slip-up. In addition to the “reflective” essay, which is not a standard probation condition but was agreed upon by lawyers, Raggatt will have to obey a no-contact order with his former co-worker, stay away from her place of work, take counselling as directed and complete 40 hours of community service. Morgan opted not to impose an order requiring Raggatt to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database.

Former Salmon Arm optician gets probation for historical sex crime KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A former Salmon Arm optician convicted of sexually assaulting a teenaged boy three decades ago has avoided jail. Instead, Kenneth Pilkington was sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday to 24 months of probation and ordered to register as a sex offender for 20 years. Now 74, Pilkington was in his early 40s when he met a young boy at his optical shop, court heard. Pilkington invited the 14-year-old

boy into a back room and molested him. Last year, Pilkington was convicted on one count of sexually assaulting a minor and acquitted on allegations of sexual assault and gross indecency. In addition to the probation term and sex-offender registration, Pilkington was also ordered to refrain from putting himself in a position of authority over children or visiting parks and pools and to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database.

CITY COUNCIL

Lange calls proposed cannabis fee ‘gouging’ JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor wants cannabis to be a joint expenditure. Coun. Tina Lange said on Tuesday the whole city should share the costs of rolling out legalized cannabis, not just budding entrepreneurs. “I just don’t think that is fair at all and to me it is gouging,” Coun. Tina Lange told council on Tuesday. Lange was the lone councillor to vote against sending a set of cannabis-related bylaw amendments to a public hearing later this month. While in favour of a $1,600 cannabis permit application fee — which would mirror the liquor license process through the city — she could not get past charging cannabis businesses an annual business license fee of $5,000. That fee for liquor stores in Kamloops is $196. “I really can not get behind charging a business owner who is starting a new business,” Lange said. City staff have said a large portion of the business license fee would go toward educating business owners and the public about new rules for cannabis consumption and sales. Staff have also said the money would cover time already invested into preparing for can-

City of Kamloops development director Marvin Kwiatkowski said the city has spent an estimated $75,000 to $100,000, including staff time and legal fees. “It’ll probably go down going forward,” he said. “But really our licensing fees should cover the costs that we’re expecting.” The city reached out to other municipalities and Victoria, Chilliwack and Prince George have either adopted or are looking at similar fees of $5,000. Vancouver set its cannabis business-licence fee at $30,000. City of Kamloops business license inspector Dave Jones is not concerned about the fee deterring entrepreneurs.

recreational cannabis stores. He noted illegal dispensaries in Kamloops have brought in up to $250,000 per month in the past. “I don’t think, at this time, $5,000 is going to be a detriment,” Jones said. Mayor Ken Christian said council would be in a much better position if it knew how much tax revenue the province planned to share with municipalities. “We don’t have that information and we have applicants at our door,” Christian said. He said the business licenses are not a get-rich-quick scheme, but will rather help recover costs. He earlier told KTW unknown costs could include policing, zoning and social services. “If it’s [business license fee] not reasonable down the road, it’s not cast in stone,” Christian told council. Lange also argued that the city is getting new businesses, more employment opportunity and will see economic spinoff down the road. She was the lone councillor to oppose sending the amendments to a public hearing, which will be held on Aug. 28 at the Valley First room in Sandman Centre. Denis Walsh declared a conflict of interest, due to the potential of a cannabis store opening in his commercial space. Coun. Pat Wallace was absent.

A city councillor was outvoted on Tuesday after pleading with fellow councillors and staff to consider higher-density opportunities on cityowned land in North Kamloops. Denis Walsh was the lone councillor to oppose rezoning 591 and 571 Royal Ave., formerly occupied by Thrupp Manor, to pave way for five single-family lots. Walsh suggested mixed-housing units or a high-end project could be

a better use of the space, which borders on the Rivers Trail and is located near McDonald Park, McArthur Island and the Tranquille Corridor. “It’s an opportunity to densify the North Shore and also revitalize that neighbourhood,” Walsh said. Council voted to send the zoning bylaw-amendment application to a public hearing. Coun. Pat Wallace was absent. The subdivision has the support of the North Shore Business Improvement Association.

STATUE’S REMOVAL STOKES DIVISIONS

nd amid the dew of a freshly risen dawn, it was gone. The statue of Sir John A. Macdonald was removed from the steps of Victoria’s City Hall at 7 a.m. on Saturday, bringing to an end four days of divisive debate since the city’s Mayor Lisa Helps announced it on her campaign website. Helps’ reasoning was to remove the statue so “family members and other Indigenous people do not need to walk past this painful reminder of colonial violence each time they enter the doors of their municipal government.” There is no doubt Macdonald’s status as the founder of Canada’s residential school system and the blatantly racist statements he made at the time are a painful reminder of this country’s original sin. But it wasn’t for his role in the birth of the residential school system Macdonald was being commemorated, but for the founding of a nation. “Show me a man in 1860 who hasn’t said something or done something that is considered not politically correct to modern standards,” said one protester Saturday morning. “What, are we going to tear down statues of everyone born before 1900?” “The statue is celebrating and glorifying a particular historical figure who was one of the leading architects of cultural genocide,” replied a supporters. It wasn’t the decision itself that struck a nerve with so many in the community, it was the way in which it was carried out. It was announced on a campaign website, signalling the unofficial start of the municipal campaign, one where a cultural wedge will be used to divide the electorate. It was a political stunt of almost Trumpian proportions, in its execution if diametrically opposed in its ideology. Most around the council table were stunned by the mayor’s announcement and a new location for the statue has yet to be decided. Bringing council on stream before the decision was announced, and having a plan in place for the aftermath would have avoided much of the divisive sentiment that has been stoked by the issue. But then, it seems that was always part of the plan. — Saanich News

Cities now city-states?

t’s the dead of summer. B.C.’s Green-NDP government is taking a break from dressing the province’s economy in worn-out bell bottoms. No trucks loaded with big steel pipe are rolling yet. Even the hardened actors of our many summer tent camps are taking a break from disrupting our energy and housing policy. The federal government has assured us there is no refugee crisis in Canada, while hastily shuffling the cabinet to create a new department of homeland security, er, Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction. Migrants are pouring across the border from the U.S., mostly at a single rural road crossing from upstate New York into Quebec. They come in taxis, roller suitcases trailing them. Ottawa has responded with an RCMP reception centre, welfare and hotel rooms to welcome people clearly briefed on how to cut the legitimate refugee application lineup. National media doesn’t explore the obvious human trafficking angle. Instead, they quibble about whether the migrants should be called “illegal” or “irregular,” and note with approval that 1,200 crossings in June is fewer than the 2,200 who somehow happened to arrive in May. By that point there were 30,000 awaiting hearings. B.C. media reported with approval a new policy quietly announced by the Vancouver Police. It’s a “draft” policy that’s already in effect, in which officers don’t ask about the immi-

VICTORIA gration status of witnesses, complainants or victims. City hall came up with this a couple of years ago and stats show virtually no contact between VPD and immigration authorities since. It’s called “access without fear” (of deportation). In effect, Vancouver has declared itself a sovereign state and declined to observe federal immigration law, such as it is. Call it Stealth Sanctuary City. Victoria is likely on the same path. This being a municipal election year, their preferred distractions include pushing Sir John A. Macdonald into the closet and cracking down on plastic bags. The ban on point-of-sale bags hasn’t spread as quickly as I predicted in January. It’s in effect here in Victoria, but not all of the dozen suburbs have fallen into line. “We’ve still got a few left,” one store clerk whispered to me as she pulled out a thin rack of plastic bags and slipped one over my awkwardly shaped purchase. “We’ve always used the

biodegradable ones, so I’m not sure what the problem was.” Plastic straw mythology has taken over. We have a federal environment minister incorrectly claiming that restaurants have banned the dreaded straws, and praising kids for using a steel straw that looks like a Ninja murder weapon. This as municipal politicians try to implement provincial environment policy, or at least attract attention by pretending to do so. Corporations run to the front of the parade to declare plastic straws a biohazard. As with the bag boondoggle, inferior and more greenhouse gas-intensive paper is substituted. This is what rudderless government looks like. As of July there had been about 450 “irregular” migrant crossings into B.C. so far this year — people sneaking in using a loophole in Canada’s “safe third country” agreement with the U.S. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but we should remember B.C.’s tradition of being the destination of choice for migration within Canada. That can be measured by the tent camps along major highways. Local politicians seem determined to pretend the “homeless” are all local, as they discourage any effort to measure the reality of migration. They’d rather regulate the easier things, like plastic bags and drinking straws. Tom Fletcher is the B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ICBC ‘OUT TO LUNCH’ WITH RATE INCREASES

KTW FILE PHOTO Decorative grasses are fine on TRU’s campus, but not the grass that is being legalized in October. A UBC Okanagan PhD student in clinical psychology who has been studying cannabis and human behaviour says TRU instructor Chris Montoya was off base when he told KTW students, staff and faculty could get “stoned” from second-hand smoke if pot use was allowed on campus.

PROF’S REMARKS ABOUT POT SMOKE NOT BACKED BY LATEST SCIENCE Editor: Re: (‘TRU moves to outlaw cannabis use,’ Aug. 15): I wanted to comment regarding cannabis intoxication from second-hand smoke. TRU psychology instructor Dr. Chris Montoya is quoted in KTW as follows: “A student cannot get drunk walking next to another student drinking a beer. However, students, staff and faculty can get

stoned breathing in second-hand smoke.” As a doctoral student in clinical psychology who studies cannabis and human behaviour, I felt it was important to share some of the latest research on this issue. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have been conducting studies on the effects of cannabis smoke exposure in non-users and have found that, under regular

indoor conditions, non-smokers did not experience changes in cognitive ability — i.e. “get stoned.” Based on that, it would be fair to conclude that it would be extremely difficult to become intoxicated from second-hand cannabis smoke in an outdoor environment. Michelle Thiessen UBCO, Kelowna

Editor: It’s already tabled in ICBC’s budget that within the next three years our vehicle insurance rates are going up 20 per cent across the board. This is with the incentive that good drivers will likely stay at 20 per cent and bad drivers not so. Well, some incentive there, ICBC, as most folks with good driving records won’t likely experience that same 20 per cent increase within those three years. As an average B.C. citizen with a good driving record, I say this 20 per cent over three years rate increase for good driving is out to lunch. Good drivers with good driving records should be rewarded with a much lower premium than 20 per cent rate increase. It is the bad drivers who should be taking more of the majority of the increase on their rates. Either that or may I respectfully suggest that ICBC at this point in time back down, let off those reins and allow in private insurance companies to compete against them. B.C. citizens with good or great driving records would have nothing to lose. After all, I certainly don’t consider a 20 per cent ICBC rate increase over three years anything special for being a good driver. Les Evens Kamloops

Sidewalks may not be covered by ban JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

It may not be illegal to smoke a joint on sidewalks in Kamloops come Oct. 17. With licensing underway, council conversation turned on Tuesday to where cannabis can and cannot be smoked in the River City when recreational pot becomes legal this fall. It appears sidewalks are not addressed in city bylaws nor B.C.’s Cannabis Control and Licensing Act and it is unclear whether a ban will be in place in time for legalization. “As far as on the streets, at this point in time, we wanted to bring the key bylaws in order to get the licensing in effect,” City of Kamloops development director Marvin Kwiatkowski told council on Tuesday. “We didn’t want to muddle it with another bylaw, but that will have to be addressed.” Two city bylaws (clean indoor air and parks) prohibit people from lighting up in

many places in the River City, including city facilities, parks, playgrounds, beaches and in hospitals. Residents shouldn’t, for example, expect to smoke pot at Music in the Park. Parks are banned by bylaws and also by the province. B.C.’s Cannabis Control and Licensing Act, however, leaves sidewalks in a grey area. The act addresses cannabis “consumption” — not just smoking — and does not go so far as to ban it outright in public, instead banning specific places similar to city bylaws. City of Kamloops business license inspector Dave Jones has been sitting on a provincial committee related to the cannabis roll out. He said the issue has been debated but will unlikely be addressed due to the complicated nature of introducing edibles in the future. Banning people from consuming edibles would be hard to manage when cannabis is disguised as gummy bears or chocolate bars, he said.

“They didn’t quite go as far as ‘Don’t consume cannabis in a public place’ because we know next year, it’s way too hard with the edibles,” Jones told KTW. Kwiatkowski told council that if the province doesn’t address prohibiting smoking cannabis in public, the city will. He could not say, however, whether new rules would be in place in time for legalization. Councillors Arjun Singh and Tina Lange stressed the importance of having a ban in place by Oct. 17. Lange likened the situation to allowing people to drink on city streets and expressed concern about the impacts on youth. Singh, meanwhile, expressed concern about the impacts of second-hand smoke. “I think that ultimately people smoking cannabis in public spaces has a whole new added dimension than just tobacco smoke, in terms of even intoxication factor and those kinds of things from

second-hand smoke,” he said. Kamloops mayor Ken Christian said the city won’t know whether it has a problem until after Oct. 17, when recreational cannabis is legalized. “If we have a problem, then I would ask staff to come forward with some bylaw recommendations there, but to, in advance of that, think that we might have a problem, I’m not necessarily convinced that that’s the case,” Christian said. Jones said he is confident the city has enough tools to address those who choose to smoke cannabis in public but stressed education. He noted cannabis businesses will be motivated to discourage people from smoking in front of their stores, with the potential of their licenses being revoked. “I really don’t see how outdoor smoking is going to be a big issue,” he said. Asked where people should smoke cannabis come Oct. 17, Jones suggested they do so at home.

Apartments account for most of Kamloops’ 2018 housing starts MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Apartment units make up the majority of the booming number of housing starts in Kamloops so far this year. Through July 2018, 367 of 576 new housing starts were apartment units, compared to five of 211 similar starts between January and July of last year. New housing construction last month far exceeded July 2017, with builders breaking ground on 209 homes, compared to 25 last year. Multi-unit housing starts — numbers that include structures such as townhomes — were 175 in July 2018 compared to just four starts in all of July 2017. Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation senior market analyst Taylor Pardy said one reason for this may be the large contingent of people over the age of 55 the CMHC has seen move to the Kamloops area and Okanagan. “This is contributing to some additional demand, particularly on the multi-unit side because in many cases, depending on the person, you may want reduced maintenance,” he said. “This is a big consideration for people heading into a retirement age.” Year-to-date completions for apartments sit at just six in 2018, however, compared to 112 in 2017. There was one apartment completion last month and zero in July 2017, according to CMHC data. Pardy said this gap should be attrib-

uted to the general volatility surrounding construction projects and doesn’t signify a problem with the housing market. Single-family housing starts are 149 to date, down from 166 through the same time frame last year. There were 34 in July, up from 21 in July 2017. Single-family housing completions to date in 2018 are 215, up from 111. There were 28 completions in July 2018 compared to 21 last July. “Overall, the story for Kamloops in the month of July was that starts were fairly strong, and this is largely due to the fact that over the past few years demand for

housing in Kamloops has been strong as net migration into the area has been elevated,” Pardy said. “That additional population growth has really been putting pressure, particularity on the multi-unit side as we’ve seen inventories of unsold units in that segment be quite low for some time now.” For 2018, housing starts are stronger than anticipated, Pardy said, adding CMHC was forecasting about 640 starts this year and is already at 576. “I think at this point we are going to overshoot the original forecast,” Pardy said.

Kamloops named among B.C.’s most affordable cities KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A new study deems Kamloops one of the most affordable cities in the province. The study by Zoocasa, a Canadian real estate website, compared home prices and average incomes in major cities in B.C.. Kamloops was ranked among the top communities for home affordability, second only to Prince George. The study found that the River City’s average home price in July 2018 was $406,768. The average median income in Kamloops

for a one-person household was $35,004, compared to $92,326 for a two-person household. Zoocasa marketing manager Lily Leung said in an email that while Kamloops is among the most affordable major cities in the province, homeownership affordability remains “out of reach for single-person households.” Similar findings were reported for Prince George — deemed the most affordable major city in the province — which had an average home price in July of $347,470.

cannabis oils, capsules and seeds. More than 30 licensed producers have entered into a memorandum of understanding with the province. Kamloops was announced as the first location for a government-run cannabis store in B.C. It will open in the former Dollar Store location next to Save-On Foods in Columbia Place Shopping Centre in Sahali.

A reorganization of the Kamloops libraries has led to elimination of a department, reconfiguring some part-time positions. Michelle Nordstrom, communications and marketing manager for the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, said the restructuring came after about a year of study. Adult services in each branch have been removed and are being amalgamated into programming library assistants will be providing. Nordstrom said one of the goals was to do away with some part-time and on-call positions. Four were eliminated through

Thompson Rivers University has formally complained to management at the Vancouver Sun about a story on one of its faculty members. TRU executive communications manager Darshan Lindsay said the specific concern is a decision Sun reporter Susan Lazaruk made to not include an explanation in full from the university on a recent suspension of economics professor Derek Pyne. Lindsay said due to legal constraints and the university’s policies and procedures it must follow dealing with the privacy rights of its staff, faculty and students, it cannot go into details on the suspension. The Sun stories linked Pyne’s suspension to his concern over the legitimacy of the journals where other academics were publishing articles. TRU provost and vice-president academic Christine Bovis-Cnossen sent an email to the university’s faculty after a UBC professor called on the provincial government to investigate the matter. However, the University Act precludes this, mandating a minister “must not interfere in the exercise of powers conferred on a university, its board, senate and other constituent bodies by this act, respecting any of the following: a). the formulation and adoption of academic policies and standards.”

The letter sent by the provost said: “TRU can confirm the faculty member at the centre of your coverage remains employed; the headline had indicated the individual was dismissed. “Additionally, TRU provided a brief statement to reporter Susan Lazaruk on Aug. 13, of which only a portion was included in your story. We are disappointed the Vancouver Sun chose not to include comment on our unwavering commitment to academic freedom, and hence, misrepresented TRU in its coverage. “For the benefit of your readers, we have included the full statement of what was provided to Ms. Lazaruk, as we feel this is critical information for the public given the debate that is occurring: “TRU is not commenting on this matter directly for the same reasons provided to Douglas Todd. We are legally bound to protect the personal and private information of employees. “However, it’s important to know that TRU is committed to academic freedom and the independent research activities of its faculty. This is the bedrock of Canadian universities — that we provide and promote an environment where the thoughtful exchange of ideas and research is cultivated.” The Sun stories also said Pyne is on an unpaid suspension however he is still being paid by the university.

PROVINCIAL NEWS

Capsized tug on dry land at mouth of Fraser River in Vancouver rying was released into the river. A strong smell of diesel was noticeable near the spill site on Tuesday. Dan Bate with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans said the amount of diesel lost is expected to be much lower than the 22,000 litres the tug was capable of carrying. “We won’t have a better sense of that number until the tanks in the vessel are measured which will allow us to get a better number on the actual volumes leaked,’’ he said. Hoff said earlier that as much as 600 litres of diesel had been recovered in the first 24 hours after the accident and Bate said diesel is considered to be a lighter fuel that can evaporate quickly. The Transportation Safety Board said it also deployed a team of investigators to the site to gather information and assess the incident. The board investigates marine occurrences to advance transportation safety, but does not assign blame or determine civil or criminal liability.

VANCOUVER — A tug that capsized and sank at the mouth of the Fraser River off Vancouver has been pulled from the water and officials say the next step will be determining how much fuel leaked from the vessel. The 19-metre-long George H. Ledcor was hauling a loaded gravel barge on the north arm of the Fraser River not far from Vancouver International Airport when it capsized late Monday. David Hoff with Ledcor Group, the operator of the tug, said Thursday the vessel was lifted out of the water and crews would be draining potentially contaminated water from its hull. “It’s called dewatering, so they will be pumping the water that is inside the tug to a special container on the barge,’’ Hoff said in a phone interview. The barge, a large crane, divers and other specialized crew were needed to complete the operation, which officials had initially hoped would have wrapped up within a

SURREY — A four-month-old girl had to be pulled from under a pickup truck that rammed into her home in Surrey. Assistant fire chief Chris Keon said the girl was breathing and conscious when she was pulled to safety on Wednesday night from under the front end of the vehicle. He said firefighters were able to support the pickup with wood and then cut away debris, giving them access to the girl. Mounties said the baby is being treated in hospital, but her condition hasn’t been released. Police said in a news release they were called to a report that a truck had struck the basement of the house around 9:30 p.m. The 57-year-old driver of the pickup was arrested. Police said their investigation into the cause of the incident is in its early stages.

WORLD NEWS

U.S. newspapers Italy lowers death toll to 38 in Genoa bridge to Trump: We’re collapse, but official warns number will rise not the enemy ASSOCIATED PRESS

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Newspapers from World News Maine to Hawaii pushed back against U.S. President Donald Trump’s attacks on “fake news’’ with a coordinated series of editorials in defence of a free press on Thursday — and, not surprisingly, Trump didn’t take it silently. The campaign was set in motion by an editor at the Boston Globe, which argued in its own editorial that Trump’s label of the media as the enemy of the people “is as un-American as it is dangerous to the civic compact we have shared for more than two centuries.’’ Trump denounced the effort on Twitter, saying the Globe was in collusion with other newspapers. “There is nothing that I would want more for our country than true FREEDOM OF THE PRESS,’’ the president typed. “The fact is that the press is FREE to write and say anything it wants, but much of what it says is FAKE NEWS, pushing a political agenda or just plain trying to hurt people.’’ Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a resolution with no objections stating that “the press is not the enemy of the people.’’

BRIEFS

GENOA, Italy — The death toll from the collapse of a highway bridge in the Italian city of Genoa that is already confirmed to have claimed at least 38 lives will certainly rise, a senior official said Thursday. “Unfortunately, the toll will increase, that’s inevitable’’ as rescuers continued to search tons of rubble for the missing, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini told reporters. On Wednesday, Premier Giuseppe Conte told reporters that 39 people had

died in the incident, which the country’s president described as an “absurd” catastrophe. But on Thursday, the Genoa’s prefect office, which reports to the interior ministry lowered the number of confirmed dead to 38. Prefect Office official Raffaella Corsaro attributed the lowered number to a “misunderstanding’’ about information supplied by ambulance dispatchers. Corsaro said that there are 15 injured persons. Doctors have said one of the injured is

in coma with severe cranial injuries. Rescuers continued to comb through tons of jagged steel, concrete and dozens of vehicles that plunged as much as 45 metres into a dry river bed on Tuesday, the eve of Italy’s main summer holiday. Salvini declined to cite a number of the missing, saying that would be “supposition,’’ but separately Genoa Chief Prosecutor Francesco Cozzi told reporters there could be between 10 and 20 people still unaccounted for. Italy is planning a state funeral for the dead, scheduled to take place Saturday.

N.Z. bans most foreign home sales

SHOP NOW FOR BEST SELECTION!

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — New Zealand has banned most foreigners from buying homes as it tries to tackle runaway housing prices. Previously the housing market was open to investors worldwide, but the government on Wednesday passed legislation that allows only New Zealand residents to buy homes. In recent years, there have been many anecdotal stories of wealthy foreigners from Silicon Valley and beyond buying ranches in picturesque rural New Zealand as a “bolt hole’’ or escape option from a turbulent world. There have also been stories of wealthy Chinese buyers outbidding New Zealanders on suburban homes in the main city of Auckland. Statistics indicate about three per cent of New Zealand homes are being sold to foreigners, but the amount rises to five per cent in the scenic Queenstown region and 22 per cent in central Auckland.

NEW DELHI — Former Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a Hindu nationalist who set off a nuclear arms race with rival Pakistan but later reached across the border to begin a groundbreaking peace process, died on Thursday after a prolonged illness. He was 93. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences, where Vajpayee had been hospitalized for more than two months for treatment of a kidney infection and chest congestion, announced his death. Vajpayee, a leader of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, had suffered a stroke in 2009. A onetime journalist, Vajpayee was in many ways a political contradiction: He was the moderate leader of an often-strident Hindu nationalist movement. He was a lifelong poet who revered nature but who oversaw India’s growth into a swaggering regional economic power. He was the prime minister who ordered nuclear tests in 1998, stoking fears of atomic war between India and Pakistan. Then, a few years later, it was Vajpayee who made the first moves toward peace.

There are times that seem pretty daunting when I realize I am competing against dozens of free online dating apps. The stories that are coming to me about those apps are obviously causing many hours of frustration. Another topic I am pretty passionate about is shopping local. My friends cringe when they get something new as they know as soon as I spot it, the first words out of my mouth are, “Where’d you get it?” For as long as I can remember, I have always felt the community we choose to live in is one we should support. I am not saying I have never bought anything out of town but, for the most part, I would never go out of town to do my Christmas, car or even clothing shopping.

The last couple of months, I have had many women lament to me they feel there are no quality single men in Kamloops and it might be time to broaden their search to Vernon, Kelowna, or even Vancouver. They have even asked about the expensive big city dating agencies that charge $10,000 for a year! This has me defending the men in Kamloops I know are out there but just haven’t come forward yet. (I have seen the census numbers).

I have told these women they need to stay local and Kamloops has great single, healthy, active, smart, kind, sweet, fun guys — and they ask where? These guys also have an obligation to advertise locally. Not publicly so everyone can see like they do on Plenty of Fish or Our Time, but just to indicate to me you are “open for business” so we can keep these women in Kamloops and I can prove to them they don’t need to go to Kelowna to find good men. Guys, you don’t need to stand on the street in a mascot costume waving a sign to get attention, but a simple, discreet, private email to me to let me know you are here. Even if I have these ladies just start some window shopping, at least let’s keep them local.

Church sex scandal: Abuse KAMLOOPS victims want a full reckoning Places of Worship DENISE LAVOIE

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Six Roman Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania joined the list this week of those around the U.S. that have been forced to face the ugly truth about childmolesting priests in their ranks. But in dozens of other dioceses, there has been no reckoning, leading victims to wonder if the church will ever truly take responsibility or be held accountable. “It happens everywhere, so it’s not really so much a question of where has it happened, but instead, where has word gotten out, where is information about it accessible?’’ said Terry McKiernan, founder of BishopAccountability.org, a Massachusetts-based non-profit group that tracks clergy sexual abuse cases. Since the crisis exploded in Boston in 2002, dioceses around the country have dealt with similar revelations of widespread sexual abuse, with many of them forced to come clean by aggressive plaintiffs’ attorneys, assertive prosecutors or relentless journalists. In a few instances, namely in Tucson, Arizona, and Seattle, dioceses voluntarily named names. Dioceses in Boston; Los Angeles; Seattle; Portland, Oregon; Denver; San Diego; Louisville, Kentucky and Dallas have all paid multimillion-dollar settlements to victims. Fifteen dioceses and three Catholic religious orders have filed for bankruptcy to deal with thousands of lawsuits. Still, only about 40 of the nearly 200 dioceses in the U.S. have released lists of priests accused of abusing children, and there have been only nine investigations by a prosecutor or grand jury of a Catholic diocese or archdiocese in the U.S., according to BishopAccountability.org. In many of the dioceses that have been examined, the numbers have been staggering: in

the six Pennsylvania dioceses, 300 abusive priests and more than 1,000 victims since the 1940s; in Boston, at least 250 priests and more than 500 victims. All told, U.S. bishops have acknowledged that more than 17,000 people nationwide have reported being molested by priests and others in the church going back to 1950. Phil Saviano, a Massachusetts man who said he was sexually abused by a priest in 1960s beginning at age 11, said he hopes the grand jury report in Pennsylvania will prompt attorneys general in other states to conduct similar investigations. He said he doubts dioceses will release names unless forced to do so. “My personal feeling is that none of them are going to come forward voluntarily. It’s always going to take some pressure from the public, the parishioners or legal authorities,’’ said Saviano, whose story was one of many exposed by The Boston Globe in its 2002 Pulitzer Prizewinning series and later in the Oscar-winning movie Spotlight. Mitchell Garabedian, a Boston lawyer who estimates he has represented 3,000 clergy sex abuse victims from around the world since the 1990s, said he has sent letters detailing about two dozen allegations of abuse against priests from dioceses in Michigan, Ohio and Rhode Island and received similar responses from all three. “They say, ‘We feel very sorry for your clients, but it’s outside the statute of limitations,’’’ Garabedian said, adding, “The church knows there is no legal recourse, so the church says it will not act responsibly and will not act appropriately.’’ In many states, statutes of limitations allow people abused as children to file civil claims up until only age 21 or slightly older. In Massachusetts and other states hit hard by the crisis, those statutes were amended after the scandal erupted. But in many other states, the

laws have remained unchanged. The Pennsylvania grand jury said that in almost every case there, the statute of limitations for bringing criminal charges has run out. Echoing what was discovered in Boston and other places, the grand jury report accused senior church officials of hushing up allegations against priests, in some cases by shuffling them from parish to parish. In a statement, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee for the Protection of Children and Young People expressed sorrow over the Pennsylvania findings and said: “We are committed to work in determined ways so that such abuse cannot happen.’’ In recent years, the U.S. bishops have adopted widespread reforms, including mandatory criminal background checks for priests and lay employees, a requirement that abuse allegations be reported to law enforcement, the suspension of priests while they are being investigated, and permanent removal from ministry when accusations are substantiated. The Rev. Thomas Reese, a Jesuit priest who is a senior analyst for the Religion News Service, noted such reforms but said the Pennsylvania grand jury report should be a “wakeup call’’ to other dioceses that they need to hire outside groups to do independent investigations, then must publish the results. But he said he is doubtful that will happen. “A lot of bishops feel, ‘Hey, that was done before I got here. I regret that it happened, I’m sorry that it happened, but we’ve changed, this is no longer happening under my watch because of the procedures we’ve put in place,’’’ Reese said. “If they had just gotten all of the dirt out at the very beginning, all at the same time, then we wouldn’t be suffering death by 1,000 cuts. It’s just place after place, and frankly, it’s the same story in every place.’’

U.S. bishops will ask Vatican to investigate cardinal DAVID CRARY ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is inviting the Vatican to play a key role investigating the scandal involving former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who allegedly engaged in sexual misconduct with minors

and adult seminarians. The conference president, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, said a full investigation is necessary “to prevent a recurrence, and so help to protect minors, seminarians, and others who are vulnerable in the future.’’ DiNardo said he would travel to Rome and ask the Vatican to

conduct an “apostolic visitation’’ to address the McCarrick case, working in concert with a group of predominantly lay experts. DiNardo also deplored the findings of a grand jury report released in Pennsylvania which detailed the abuse of more than 1,000 children by about 300 priests is six dioceses over 70 years.

Peaceful Prince Edward Island JANE CASSIE TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

Although Prince Edward Island is one lovely land mass, due to the many geological curves along the coastline, it appears to be divided into three: North Cape, Central Coast and Points East, with the main hub being Charlottetown. We arrive in time to take a stroll and get a feel for the province’s capital. A boardwalk, anchored by a conference centre, is sandwiched between the marina and colourful emporiums. Queen and Great George are two of the main streets where we find everything from book stores to gift shops. Stately churches, Confederation Centre of the Arts and City Hall intermingle with heritage brick beauties, all which are pictureworthy. But the best way to explore PEI is to get out of this hub and put the pedal to the metal. “Over 88,000 acres of potatoes are grown here every year,” my travelling encyclopedia, a.k.a. husband, states. “They’ve been harvesting spuds here since the late 1700s.” Although this statistic is new to me, based on the number of crops (and loaded potato trucks) that we breeze by, it’s obvious that farming is a way of life on PEI. The fishing industry is a stiff competitor, though. In the many bays we pass, buoys bobble over thriving oyster beds, markers

The boardwalk to the Greenwich dunes are unusually large features of the land and a very rare sight in North America.

float above mounds of mussels, lobster traps pile up next to seagoing vessels and propped up fishing boats take up space in many front yards and driveways. As well as pastoral settings, pretty villages and fragrant forests, our 475-kilometre Points East Coastal Drive loops by vacated golf courses, campgrounds, cottages and diners. In the summer months, all would be a-bustle, but during this September visit it’s quiet and tranquil. And of course, the fifty beautiful beaches that rim this region’s shoreline never close. Beaver, Shipwreck and Savage are all sandy strips that get washed by the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Crowbush Cove is one of our favourites along this northern section. A boardwalk links the parking lot to this lovely crescent, and white-tipped waves lap over its gentle sloping shore.

Greenwich Dunes in Prince Edward Island National Park is another must-visit. A fairytalelike boardwalk rolls across the pristine wetlands and leads us to the largest dunes on the island and an interpretive centre provides an overview of archaeological findings that date back 10,000 years. The coastal drive continues to the eastern point lighthouse, but there are a number of roads that bisect the island, allowing a shortcut to the other side. After a short cruise, we’re facing the Northumberland Strait, a warmer waterway that lures the swimmers, even at this time of year. “It’s not bad,” Brent said, when putting his tootsies beyond the sandy shore at Red Point Provincial Park. This playground draws in hordes of outdoor hounds in the warmer months, but today we’re solo and loving the serenity.

Towns along the way also have that laid-back feel. Souris, Montague and Murray Harbour all deserve a look-see, and don’t leave out those lighthouses. Our favourite and final stop on this East Coast drive is Point Prim, the first brick lighthouse to beacon sailors on PEI — and to all of Canada. With only one day left and not enough time to explore both the North Cape and Central Coast, we opt for the latter. The beaches pale in comparison, but this region makes up for it in scenic overload. Pictureperfect pastures seem to roll into the sea, pristine parklands meld with world class attractions and the names of a few tickety-boo townships remind me of home in B.C. And then there is the famous landmark for Anne of Green Gables. Busloads come in droves to check out this well-known site

and get the historical scoop. “We had 195,000 visitors this past summer,” the tour guide shares. Brent does the math. On average, that’s around 2,000 a day. It’s hard to believe, as there are only a handful of us browsing through the renowned house today. Our final viewpoint is Confederation Bridge, an astronomical feat that spans Northumberland Strait — a trip we’ll be making tomorrow in a 15-minute journey from PEI to New Brunswick. And as if clicking my heels three times, we’ll be transported away from this peaceful province — a place where people are as friendly as your next door neighbour and time seems to stand still.

Saloon’s doors are swinging once again Cactus Jack’s new owner is no stranger to the River City SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

actus Jack’s has returned with a new owner following a fivemonth closure. Jordan Landry, the club’s new owner, said it’s always been a dream of his to own the place. Landry is no stranger to the River City. His past puts him among a familiar crowd. He put in two seasons with the Kamloops Blazers from 1995 to 1997 and continued to play for junior and college teams until playing minor pro hockey for the Fresno Falcons. It was in Fresno, Calif., Landry got his first taste of the nightclub industry. Although now divorced, he married into the industry and worked at Club Habanos until 2011. Club Habanos closed in 2016, but Landry said the club offered a chance to hone his social media skills and business savviness, and that he even kept the club alive when others were closing during the Great

Recession in 2008. His social media experience proved useful when he first returned to Kamloops in 2012 — Landry operates live social media and promotion screens in 25 restaurants and businesses across the city and plans on integrating them into CJs, too. Landry said his past experience is one thing that helped him land the ownership of CJs. His hockey world connections — CJ’s former owner Murray Baron is an ex-NHLer — also helped. Baron had multiple offers to consider, but Landry thinks his experience and access to cheaper insurance that landed him the club. Landry said with his experience insurers aren’t charging as much and the savings he could get amounted to a manager’s salary. He approached Baron in February when the club went up for sale and entered into what he called a long and slow process to make the sale happen. “I was patient and persistent and kept following through on everything I said

I would do — and Murray was with me all the way,” he said. Landry said he was surprised to hear the club was closing and even urged Baron not to close its doors, but that he had to while considering the other offers he was receiving. The deal for the club involves Baron carrying a loan for Landry — once the payments are completed, the club will be his. He also said no other investors are involved in the sale. “So he’s gambled a little bit with me and I’ve gambled a little bit with him,” Landry said. When it comes to making the club work as a business, Landry is confident he’ll be successful in the venture. “When Murray gave me the numbers, I just saw where the money is. I know there’s money there,” he said. The new ownership of

the club isn’t bringing too many changes with it. The club’s security team is made up of veterans from before the club closed, but the bartending staff are all new. Landry has also mixed things up with the nights. The club is open Wednesdays to Saturdays from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. with theme nights planned. Right now, one standing theme night is Wednesdays — where the country bar stylings return, with no cover charged to those wearing a cowboy hat and $2 draught beers. Landry said he didn’t think the bar was broken when he bought it, so he doesn’t have many

big changes planned. Nonetheless, he is constantly dealing with suggestions for what people want to see, including the oft-requested return of the mechanical bull. But because of the realities of business, there will

be no bucking bull in CJs’ future. “I can’t do the mechanical bull because my landlord and insurance guy say ‘No way.’ I know they want it. It’s just not going to happen, and that won’t go away — people will always want it.”

On Tuesday, Living LGBTQ2S+, a panel discussion, will be presented in part by the Kaleidoscope Support Association, a resource centre for sexual and gender diverse communities in the city. This free event takes place downtown at the Thompson-Nicola Regional Library, 100465 Victoria St. On Wednesday, things get funny at The Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge, 369 Victoria St., as Torontobased comedian Adrienne Fish headlines a night of comedy. She’ll be joined by Vancouver-based Steev Letts and the River

Punk legend Randy Rampage of DOA dies at age 58 who’d do something crazy onstage and bring excitement to the crowd, and people would go nuts,” said DOA guitarist Joe Keithley. “He really knew the right time to throw it in, which is a skill, too.” Rampage had as big a presence onstage as off. He was funny as hell and was a world-class partier, the kind of person who lights up a room, or trashes it. Unfortunately, playing with bands like DOA and thrash-metal standard-bearers Annihilator brought him fame but no fortune,

Randy Rampage was a true louder-than-life figure. As the original bassist for Vancouver punk legends DOA, Rampage was one of the founding fathers of Vancouver’s alternativemusic scene. With his peroxide blond hair and ever-present black leather jacket, he was a riveting onstage presence, prone to leaping into the air and doing the splits in the middle of a song. “He was one of those guys

so he paid the bills as a longshoreman. Tuesday he did a shift at the Lynnterm Terminal in North Vancouver, came home and plopped down in his favourite chair. After suffering a heart attack, he died early Tuesday evening. He was 58. “It looked as though he was just watching a South Park DVD, resting,” said his partner, Susanne Tabata. “It happened early last evening when I was out running an errand. I just talked to him before I left.”

Rampage had recently returned to work after breaking his hip when he was hit by a forklift. It was his second nasty accident at work — a couple of decades ago his leg was crushed when a co-worker driving a forklift knocked a roll of paper onto him. “It triggered 22 years of pain management, and some pretty heavy pain-management problems,” said Tabata. “He’d try to lay down and sleep and be like aching,” said Keithley. “Whenever I was with him he’d be self-medicating, unfortunately.”

Rampage is the seventh former member of DOA to die, after Simon Wilde, Ken (Dimwit) Montgomery, Ken Jensen, Dave Gregg, Brian (Wimpy) Goble and Brad Kent. Ironically, in 2017, Rampage wrote an autobiography with Chris Walter, I Survived DOA. “He really was one of a kind,” said Tabata. “He certainly sailed in his own ship. He didn’t do anything easy, and he asked nothing of no one.” “He was a wild man,” said Keithley, “and like you say, a force.”

'She gave me hope': How Aretha Franklin inspired generations DAVID FRIEND

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Hearing the powerful voice of Aretha Franklin over the airwaves of 1980s pop radio left a permanent impression on Canadian singer Jully Black. Hardly eight years old at the time, Black remembers even at that age she recognized the rarity of a black woman being played on a Top 40 radio station in Toronto. “To hear a soulful voice come through gave me hope,” she said. “Right here in Canada, I was hearing this voice that I knew wasn't from here — but I knew I could do that too. As young as I was, that was the beginning.” Franklin, who is synonymous with her title as the “Queen of

Soul,” died on Thursday in Detroit from pancreatic cancer. She was 76. Black says her sisters were loyal fans of Casey Kasem's American Top 40 radio show where Franklin's mid-1980s hits Freeway of Love and Who's Zoomin' Who would have made appearances. Those songs encouraged her to learn more about Franklin's roots as the daughter of a church pastor, which Black felt paralleled her own experience as the daughter of a deacon. She supposes they might've shared a few viewpoints on the music industry. “There are times where we've had to pass up things because it didn't align with our faith, with our integrity,” Black said. “That's where the church

always stayed with me and I believe that's where the church stayed with her.” Over her career, Franklin proved a musical versatility that challenged definition. While she forged an early career in Motown with hits like Chain of Fools and Respect, she was also a steadfast gospel singer who played piano on a whim. Her career's many chapters included a pop resurgence in duets with 1980s figures like George Michael and Annie Lennox and being the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Franklin held the seemingly universal admiration of her peers. Celine Dion called sharing the stage with the vocal powerhouse on VH1's 1998 Divas Live one

of the greatest moments of her career. “She was an unbelievable artist who inspired me and millions of others,” Dion posted Thursday on Facebook. “She was the most soulful and inspirational singer of our time... there will never be anyone like her.” Dan Aykroyd, who spent time with Franklin on the set of both Blues Brothers movies, tweeted that he recalled “happy memories” of her. “The Queen had a wry, skeptical eye on the world but once you got her laughing you were in,” he wrote. “What a voice! What a soul.” Her extensive music catalogue also made Franklin's songs fre-

quent candidates for covers. Toronto R&B singer Melanie Fiona said she performed 1971's “Rock Steady” on tour years ago. She considered it a high point of the show, but attests that covering one of Franklin's songs is never easy. “It's big shoes to fill,” she said. “You're kind of diving in with the sharks because if you mess it up... your head's on the chopping block. When you're that great, like Aretha, you've got to do it justice.” Fiona credits Franklin with inspiring her own career and those of her idols, such as Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. “As a singer I feel such a great sense of loss,” she said. “That's the mother of these voices.”

Thompson Blazers’ turnaround stoked by Stankoven, Galloway MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Logan Stankoven mentioned the Telus Cup in an interview with KTW, floating the possibility of the Thompson Blazers reaching the National Midget Hockey Championship, which is scheduled for April in Thunder Bay, Ont. Thompson Blazers and Telus Cup have historically not belonged in the same sentence. Whether they should be uttered in the same breath today remains up for debate, but Stankoven’s arrival and the team’s recent emergence are at least foundation for unprecedented potential. Stankoven, a top-prospect forward picked fifth

overall by his hometown Kamloops Blazers in the WHL Bantam Draft in May, committed in June to play for Thompson in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. Tyson Galloway, a defenceman from Kamloops, was nabbed by the Calgary Hitmen 25th overall at this year’s bantam draft and will also play for Thompson in 20182019. “They’re the highestprofile guys to play in the program in recent years,” Thompson general manager George Cochrane said. “It helped us secure a number of quality guys. We’re ready to take another step forward beyond just making the playoffs.” This is the same Thompson Blazers organization that heading into

KTW FILE PHOTO Logan Stankoven of Kamloops was drafted in May and signed in June by his hometown team, the Kamloops Blazers. The fifth overall pick in the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft will spend his 15-year-old season playing for the Thompson Blazers in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League.

the 2016-2017 season had won 72 of its last 400 games and had not reached the post-season since 20052006. The abysmal record, regular management and coaching staff turnover and catchment-area issues were among the reasons there was talk of the franchise folding following the 20152016 campaign. Instead, the playoff drought ended earlier this year, Cochrane is talking about a post-season run in 2019 and Stankoven has Telus Cup dreams. “Our guys from last year’s team, I told them this: They’re going to be forever remembered as the guys that turned the corner

for the organization and the program,” Cochrane said. Stankoven was contemplating returning to Abbotsford-based Yale Academy for the 2018-2019 midget prep campaign. He racked up 57 goals and 90 points in 30 games with Yale’s bantam prep team last season. “I’ve heard lots about how maybe they [the Thompson Blazers] hadn’t had the greatest years the past few seasons, but that’s alright as long as the program is progressing,” Stankoven said. “Thompson and Yale were both good fits, but I just thought this season playing back in

town would be better. I’m looking forward to it.” The latest Thompson signings include Austin Spiridakis, a 2002-born forward from St. Albert, Alta., and Devin Pimm, a 2001born defenceman from Kanata, Ont. Pimm, who has two seasons of midget AAA hockey in Ottawa under his belt, rounds out a blue line Cochrane expects to be among the best in the league. Galloway, Medicine Hat Tigers’ draft pick Talon Zakall of Merritt and 2002born Kamloops products Brendan Kirschner, Luke Bateman and Aidan Sutter join Pimm on the back end. “There’s always the

chance that some of them could play junior A or WHL this year but, if not, we’re excited about that group of defencemen,” Cochrane said. Among the Blazers key losses is captain and leading scorer Tyson Gayfer, who has aged out of midget hockey. Spiridakis, who has committed to play for the Quinnipiac Bobcats in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I ranks in 2020-2021, joins a group of promising returnees that includes Kamloops products Jarrod Semchuk, Kaden Dempsey, Peyton Kelly and Connor Milburn.

YACHT CLUB GIVES FINAL SALUTE MARTY HASTINGS

COACHING CHANGE FOR THOMPSON

STAFF REPORTER

From A27

The Kamloops and District Yacht Club, established in 1953, is ceasing operation. Club member Laurie Desaulniers confirmed the news in a letter to KTW. “In today’s society, most service groups and organizations are struggling to stay active,” Desaulniers said. “As such, KDYC has chosen to close the books after 65 years. When one door closes, others open.” Club members sold about $40,000 worth of assets and will give the cash to local charitable and non-profit organizations, including Adaptive Sports Sun Peaks. The KDYC had its first party at its River Street clubhouse in 1959. The facility was built on property acquired from the City of Kamloops for $1 on a long-term lease. There was severe

Semchuk, 16, was picked by the Kamloops Blazers in Round 6 of the 2017 bantam draft and is the younger brother of Edmonton Oil Kings’ forward Brendan Semchuk, 19. The junior A Salmon Arm Silverbacks have taken two key members of last season’s Thompson team — head coach Tanner Cochrane and goaltender Ethan Langenegger. Carter Cochrane, George’s son and Tanner’s brother, has taken over head coaching duties, with a stable of assistant coaches that includes Mitchell Barker, James Friedel and Devin Gannon. Carter will turn 22 in October. Former WHL backstop Lucas Gore will coach the goalies and the club is hoping former NHLer Murray Baron can help out on the bench part-time. Adam Niles of Kamloops and Kobe Grant of Vernon, both 16-year-old netminders, will be tasked with

damage to the clubhouse during a flood in 1972, but members volunteered time and gave money to fix it. The facility was sold to the city in 1982. Among reasons for the sale was declining club membership, as the Shuswap became a more popular destination. The club moved to the Shuswap that year, turned a 45-foot houseboat into a clubhouse and eventually settled at

Little River Boatworld. Most recently, the club made its home near the Cottonwood-Lee Creek area on Shuswap Lake, but it removed its wharf system in 2016 and was left without headquarters. The club, which has been inactive for two years, had less than 10 boat owners remaining. A yearbook from 1964 shows there were then about 150 members, none of them women, who were forced to have

a separate club, the Kadyettes. Moorage near the River Street location in those days was $10 a year. “It was a true privilege to be able to gift other worthwhile charities with our closing funds,” Desaulniers said in the letter. “We know that the monies shared by those wonderful groups will do great things to benefit the community and those in need.”

Puck-drop is slated for 6 p.m. at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, with the rematch set for Sunday in the Little Apple. “I’m pumped for the season,” Stankoven said. Thompson’s brass is pumped Stankoven and Galloway decided to stay home. “It’s a big statement to the entire community about the Blazer programs and, hopefully, it’s going to pay off for them and for us,” George Cochrane said.

Sinclair fighting against MS DAVIS CUP GETS NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Christine Sinclair continues to have an impact on and off the soccer field. Canada’s all-time leading scorer, with 173 international goals, and A&W Canada hope to surpass $2 million in the restaurant chain’s 10th annual Burgers to Beat MS campaign. Burgers to Beat MS has raised more than $11 million since its inception in 2009, making it the singlelargest annual corporate fundraiser for the MS Society of Canada. Sinclair, whose mother Sandi has MS, became the face of the campaign last year when it delivered a record $1.85-million haul. “It’s been incredible to be part of it — to travel across Canada and spread the word and meet people,’’ Sinclair said in an

CHRISTINE SINCLAIR

interview Wednesday at a Toronto A&W. “It’s opened my eyes to a lot of things,’’ added the 35-yearold from Burnaby. “Growing up, it was just my mum and that was all I knew really about MS. It’s been incredible to meet a bunch of Canadians and hear their stories and try to have an impact on their lives.’’ Sadly there are many MS stories. The MS Society of Canada says Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world, with 11 Canadians diagnosed every day. The

disease is most commonly diagnosed in people between 15 and 40, with women three times more likely than men to be affected. The disease, described as complex and unpredictable, affects the central nervous system. Commons symptoms include: fatigue, impaired sensation, vision problems, lack of co-ordination and cognitive impairment. The cause of MS remains a mystery and there is no cure. But Pamela Valentine, president and CEO of the MS Society of Canada, says the future looks promising. “There is real hope and promise,’’ she said. “And we’ve gone a long way.’’ Over the 10-year partnership with A&W, Valentine says available medications have gone from three types to 14.

MAJOR FACELIFT

BRIAN MAHONEY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Davis Cup is getting a radical overhaul in hopes of reviving an event that has lost some lustre. Beginning next year, the top team event in men’s tennis will be decided with a seasonending, 18-team tournament at a neutral site, creating an event that the International Tennis Federation believes will be more attractive to elite players who have often passed on competing. Teams will play one week in February to advance to the championship in November, replacing the current Davis Cup format that is played over four weekends throughout the year. And players will be competing for what the ITF says rivals Grand Slam prize money after a $3 billion, 25-year agreement. Beginning in 2019, 24 nations will compete in a home-or-away qualifying round in February, with the 12 winners advancing to the final tournament. They will be joined by the four semifinalists from the previous year, along with two wild-card teams. The finalists will be placed into six, three-team groups for round robin play, involving two singles matches and one doubles match, all best-ofthree-sets — instead of the current format that has four singles matches and one doubles match that are best-of-five. The winners, along with the next two teams with the best records, will advance to the single-elimination quarterfinals.

Husband, Father, Grandfather and friend to all. Gone but not forgotten.

Love always, Dorothy, Louise, Patricia, Jim and families

Please feel free to share your memories of our mum Jean. Mum loved flowers so please wear something colorful. In lieu of flowers, if you so wish, please make a donation to the MS Society of Canada for MS Research or the Heart and Stroke Society of Canada in her name.

He is survived by his beloved wife Balbir, three children, their spouses and grandchildren. Harjinder was born in India and moved to Canada in 1970. In 1973, he married Balbir and they began their life together in Kamloops, BC.

Over the years, dad developed many friendships in the community and through his work with the railroad, as a carpenter, and then, with the City of Kamloops. He was always the life of the party. He lit up the room with his energy and ability to make people laugh.

11, 2018 at 72, Harjinder passed away at home by his family

Dad loved his simple pleasures. A lovely garden, good simple food, a glass of wine he made himself or a warm beer with friends and family. The finishing touch was his music, always with his guitar or accordion to add a tune or two.

Glen Peter A Division of Service Corporation International (Canada) ULC.

On August the age of Singh Bual peacefully surrounded members.

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Dad, Husband and Nonno Armando Guido on August 10, 2018 at the age of 83 years. Armando was born in Grimaldi, Italy on July 28, 1935. In 1959, dad married Gennarina his wife of 59 years. Shortly after, he departed for Canada in search of a better life. Mom followed five years later with their first born child. They settled in Kamloops to raise their three children Peter (Joan), Maria (Ivan) and Dino (Karla) and in time were blessed with eight grandchildren and one greatgranddaughter.

How very, very lucky we were That you were our mother You opened our minds and our hearts. You always had the time To tell us a story or sing us a song. You always picked us up When we fell down. You will always be the most important lady in our lives. Your love and guidance will Always be with us. We wish you could have been With us longer, but we are so Grateful for the time we had. All of us, your friends and family, Will truly miss you. Thank you so much For being our mother. May God care for you As you did for us.

Harjinder Singh Bual

Eleanor prided herself on keeping an immaculate and loving home using her organization skills to overcome whatever challenges life provided. After retirement, Eleanor and Bob enjoyed frequent road trips with their trailer exploring much of Canada and the western states. Eleanor was predeceased by her parents, stepmother Nelly, in-laws Jim and Bea, sister-in-law Lou, cousins Leonard and James Hodgins, Audrey Horner and Helen Burgess. Our gratitude goes to her friends and the staff at Berwick on the Park and The Hamlets at Westsyde for the years of comfort our Mom received. The family would also like to thank the medical community for the outstanding care and attention she received. A celebration of Eleanor’s life will be held in Chilliwack and announced at a later date. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Joseph Deneault I lost my best friend, Joseph Deneault who passed away on August 2, 2018 at the age of 68 years.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Joe was one of five siblings and is survived by his sister Irene and brother Rick.

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Double Disposition?

Joe loved music and played guitar. He absolutely loved telling jokes and hearing them.

A. It used to be simple: Murray died and his body was buried. Nowadays, about 90 per cent of us will be cremated. The cremation process is a form of disposition. But then, the urn is usually buried or scattered. Voila! Second disposition. The law in BC is very clear about who controls all three dispositions. Don’t wait until it’s too late – call for details.

I’ve never met a kinder or more gentle soul – ever. Rest in peace, My old friend.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Janet Elaine Westphal (née Davis)

In Loving Memory Of Hans K. Jensen

November 20, 1934 – August 21, 2017

The Angel on Your Shoulder

Janet Elaine Westphal (née Davis) peacefully passed from this world in the arms of Jesus and took her first breaths of new life in heaven on August 11, 2018 encircled by her family and dear friends.

BY JACKIE HUSTON LENA, WISCONSIN

Janet will be lovingly remembered by her husband of nearly 52 years Gary, her children Todd (Julie) and Crista (Richard Faw) and her grandchildren Jared and Zoë. She is also survived by her youngest brother Richard P. Davis (Kathy) and many other extended family including brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces. Janet was predeceased by her parents Donald and Grace Davis, sister Linda Flint and brother Donald Davis. We think of your every day and wish you were still here with us. We find peace in knowing you are happy and with the love of your life. You were always there with love and guidance, always teaching us to be kind, honest, respectful and hardworking. You taught us that family was the most important thing. You touched so many lives, those that knew you looked up to you and admired you for the man you were. We feel you every day and know you are still walking beside us. We cannot see you, but know you are there.

We miss you with all our hearts, we love you Dad/Papa. Diana, Ashley, Matthew, Donna, Rick, Leanne and Ryan.

There’s an angel on your shoulder

Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night

Janet was born on August 22, 1943 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She graduated from Marion High School in 1961 and attended business school at the Professional Business Institute in Minneapolis, MN. Janet was working as a Medical Secretary when she met Gary at the Silver Spur Ranch, near Gresham, Wisconsin. They were married in 1966. Janet supported Gary through his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine training before he joined the US Army in 1970. With two small children, Janet moved with Gary to Kamloops, BC in 1972.

And keeps you in her care.

There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow

Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul.

Janet poured her energy into being a full-time supportive mother as well as keeping the home running smoothly. She spent a lot of time road-tripping to visit family in the Midwestern United States each year, camping in their motorhome, attending Kamloops Blazer hockey games, crafting and sewing, reading, traveling, taking cruises and spending time with grandchildren. Janet was also actively involved with St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church for over 40 years in the Alter Guild and Women’s Bible Study.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears,

Standing faithfully by your side.

She will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

In her lifetime this angel was strong and true,

A Celebration of Life will be held at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, 815 Renfrew Avenue, Kamloops, BC on Saturday, August 25, 2018 at 2:00 pm.

And stood up for what was right.

In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials

The family would like to thank the staff at Royal Inland Hospital Cancer Clinic, Dr. Lawrie, Dr. Gabriel and the amazing staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice for their gentle and supportive care for Janet.

And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older,

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Society or Kamloops Hospice Society.

There are no heights you cannot reach

‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

Muriel Buchner (née Duffey) It is with the deepest regret the Buchners announce the passing of our beloved Mother and Nana Muriel Buchner (née Duffey) on August 3, 2018 in Kamloops, British Columbia. Muriel Duffey was born on January 21, 1937 to Wilfred and Martha Duffey in Otjiwarongo, Namibia. She is survived by her five children Ruth, Naomi, Jonathan, David and Christopher, grandchildren from Ruth: Rachelle, Justin, Robyn and Max, from Jonathan and Blanche: Brittny, Courtney, Nathan and Joshua, from Jonathan and Marianna: Alexander, Aiden and Anthony, great-grandchild from Brittny and Tanner Wilson: Brooklyn, and great-grandchildren from Courtney and Mark Wilson: Tucker and Hurley. Of her five brothers and five sisters, she is survived by brother Clifford Duffey of SA as well as her much loved sisters-in-law Renska, Abeth, Christolene, Dorothy, Yvonne, Dawn, Angela and brother-in-law Chris and many dear nieces and nephews. Loved ones recall her remarkable stories of joyously singing with her brothers, many untamed African adventures and hardships endured due to World War II. A young, stylish professional woman working as a clerk for the Standard Bank Witwatersrand, Muriel attended Bible College. She then progressed from a star in sales and later as an executive assistant. These years mother Muriel - and husband John - lovingly raised their five children. Despite promising rewards for her diligent work, she embraced an opportunity to leave her beloved homeland and family to seek new opportunities in Canada. Muriel loved the vast beauty of Canada with the understated kindness and generosity of its people. Ever humble, Mrs. Buchner strove for improvement. She disliked her accent refusing to believe Canadians admired it. Muriel worked hard to become and feel Canadian, always dreading being a burden to others. Hard work began upon arrival managing condominiums in a rough area of Quesnel, 1977-79. The local RCMP thanked her for helping change the “neighbourhood”, for the better. She rose to many challenges until finding fulfilling reception work at the Langley medical clinic of Doctors Gubbins, Coulter and Natoress from 1980 to 1984, while successfully running an award winning Coppercraft Canada home based business.

WORKSHOP Kamloopsians remember Mrs. Buchner as the gracious, kind hearted and ever smiling lady who worked closely with her beloved son at Jonathan Buchner Gems and Jewellery, from 1992 to present. Her flair for fashion, amicable greetings, personability, kind disposition and intuitive conversations made many a shopper and traveler feel welcome. Her beautiful presence in the jewellery world will be sorely missed.

Scanned by CamScanner

Aside from her family, Muriel’s great love was “her music”. It fed her soul. Her dedicated Scanned by CamScanner by CamScanner membership in the Scanned Kamloops Choristers (2001 to 2016), echoed church choirs she graced over the decades since childhood. Singing ‘“her heart out” with the Choristers at Carnegie Hall in NYC in 2006 to a standing ovation was a tremendous joy. Muriel supported many charities in Kamloops and abroad but took particular pride in being a long standing supporter of the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra. Our world has lost a guileless, humble spirit whose motto was to live one day at a time in service of others and to love our Lord God without reservation or expectation. This obituary would have her saying not to make a fuss and to go about doing what one can for others. The angels and ancestors are singing, graced to have you home mother, grandmother, sister and auntie. Special regard and gratitude to Dr. Peter Gorman and staff at Thompson Rivers Medical Clinic, Dr. Jacobus Steyn and also the staff at the Ponderosa Lodge Day Program and in the Respite Care. A Celebration of Muriel’s Life will be at the Kamloops Masonic Hall, 351 Nicola Street, Kamloops on Saturday, September 8, 2018 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the Buchner family asks that donations be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Condolences may be left for the family at: www.firstmemorialkamloops.com Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial, Kamloops (250) 554-2429

I’m Glad I Touched Shoulders With You From Bob White’s Scrapbook

There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad. It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through. It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word? Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you? I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.
