KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod called Thursday’s Federal Court of Appeal decision on Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline project difficult and said she is disappointed and concerned. The court overturned Ottawa’s approval of the contentious pipeline expansion. In a unanimous deci-

PIPE DREAM?

sion by a panel of three judges, the court said the National Energy Board’s review of the project was so flawed that the federal government could not rely on it as a basis for its decision to approve the expansion. The court also concluded that the federal government failed in its duty to engage in meaningful consultations with First Nations before

giving the project the green light. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government approved the project in 2016 and is so determined to see the 980-kilometre line built that it announced plans this past spring to buy the pipeline and expansion project for $4.5 billion after Kinder Morgan Canada balked at moving ahead with construction.

Shortly after the court ruling, company shareholders voted more than 99 per cent in favour of the sale. The ruling requires the energy board to conduct a new review — which the court suggests could be kept short — and means the government will have to redo part of its consultations with Indigenous groups. The court combined into one case nearly two

dozen lawsuits calling for the energy board’s review to be overturned. McLeod said most Indigenous groups in her riding support the project, with community benefits agreements in place and employment opportunities on the table. “I am both disappointed and profoundly concerned about the decision,” she said. McLeod said twin-

ning the pipeline would be safer than transporting oil by rail, opining in a social-media post that the federal government “botched the process.” The court found that the government’s representatives “limited their mandate to listening to and recording the concerns of the Indigenous applicants and then transmitting those concerns to the

decision-makers.’’ The court said there was no “meaningful two-way dialogue” with Indigenous groups. In a statement, Kinder Morgan said it is reviewing the court decision and assessing its next steps. “We remain committed to building this project in consideration of communities and the environment, with meaningful consultation with Indigenous Peoples and for the benefit of Canadians.” See CITY, A10

Millions to be spent on Mission Flats temporary housing units JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

More details have emerged about an agreement between BC Housing and the City of Kamloops that will see temporary housing for singles built on Mission Flats Road. The provincial government is pitching in $6.6 million and possibly more to create an industrial camp to house the homeless or at-risk of homeless and take pressure off city shelters through the winter. The city is leasing the land, providing water services and undertaking pedestrian improvements in the area. BC Housing communications manager Rajvir Rao told KTW the

province is pitching in $3.6 million for the 55-unit temporary housing facility and about $1 million each year for three years for support services and staffing. It has a subcontract with ASK Wellness to manage and provide 24-7 support at the facility. The city, meanwhile, is leasing the properties, which are located from 777 to 817 Mission Flats Road, to BC Housing’s Provincial Rental Housing Corporation for three years at a cost of $1. The contract can be extended for up to two years afterward. The hope is, however, to have permanent housing in place by then. “BC Housing will assess the need

when the lease expires in three years,” Rao said in an email to KTW. “The goal is for tenants to receive the support that they need to transition into independent housing and BC Housing is committed to ensuring that those who continue to require supportive housing are relocated to other permanent supportive housing that is currently in development in Kamloops.” While he could not provide a dollar figure, city community and protective services director Byron McCorkell said the costs for lighting and water connection will be not significant. Those elements will be in place by the time the facility opens, which is expected to be in November.

A Kamloops city councillor is considering opening a cannabis store when pot becomes legal this fall. “I think it’s a good long-term investment,” Coun. Denis Walsh told KTW. Walsh recused himself from marijuana discussions in recent weeks, including Tuesday night’s public hearing that determined business license fees for the new industry. Walsh said he has received multiple inquiries from budding entrepreneurs about leasing his commercial property downtown. He owns the building at the corner of Fourth Avenue and St. Paul Street downtown. One-half of the building houses Walsh’s MovieMart store and the other half is empty. Walsh has yet to commit to leasing the space because he is considering applying for a licence to sell cannabis. He has not yet applied. “There’s a pending offer if I don’t do it, basically,” Walsh said. “That’s why I thought I should step out [of city cannabis talks.] If I don’t do the application myself, there’s a possible tenant.” Earlier this summer, Walsh told KTW he would seek re-election. Voters go to the polls in the civic election on Oct. 20.

SCHOOL SPACE REMAINS SD73’S MAIN CHALLENGE

MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Classrooms will be filled with the hustle and bustle of 14,000 students across School District 73 next week as the 2018-2019 school year begins. Though the provincial government has extended for one more year the trial run of its new curriculum for grades 11 and 12, SD73 superintendent Alison Sidow told KTW the district is prepared for its implementation. “We’re very ready,” Sidow said. One new required core course — Career Life Education 10 — will be implemented this fall as part of the new curriculum’s graduation program, replacing Planning 10. Sidow said the course will play a meaningful role in getting students to graduation, noting every secondary school will have a career coach who will work with students as they plan for the next stages in their life. In addition to the new Grade 10 course, the district continues to work on creating its Career Life Connections 12 course, including the development of a final capstone presentation. “Grade 11 and 12,

this is sort of a soft implementation where we are looking at the new curriculum and planning and preparing so we’re ready for the rollout the following year,” Sidow said. She said the main challenge for SD73 continues to be space in some areas of the district. “We are hopeful that there will be capital funding announcements for our sites that are the most constrained, namely Valleyview secondary and Westmount elementary, Sun Peaks and Pineview Valley and a new gymnasium for South Kamloops senior secondary,” Sidow said. There has been moderate growth in the number of students across SD73 during the last several years, with increases in some neighbourhoods putting pressure on schools such as Valleyview secondary, but Sidow said she is optimistic there will soon be announcements on funding. The district is finalizing a project development report for the proposed $22-million expansion at Valleyview, which will be sent to the Ministry of Education. Portable classrooms have been installed at several schools to accommodate the changes caused by both

neighbourhood growth and last year’s court ruling on class sizes and composition. Finalized enrolment numbers won’t be known until after Oct. 6, when the district submits those numbers to the ministry for funding, but the district is up about 187 students as of June’s numbers compared to enrolment at the start of last year. That brings the number of students across SD73 to 14,359 (8,688 elementary and 5,671 secondary), which is approximately 1,100 students per grade. Last year, SD73 hired 132 teachers to start the 2017-2018 school year, most of whom were brought to meet the requirements to return to 2002 class size and composition. To start this school year, SD73 recently filled about 93 available teaching assignments. “We don’t anticipate any shortages,” Sidow said. Teachers with specialty training in French immersion, special education and technology education are in short supply. “We’ve managed to put a French immersion teacher in front of every French immersion class, where we are challenged is finding French immersion teachers on call,” Sidow said.

SUMMER WORK The summer break saw SD73’s facilities receive work to the tune of $3.5 million. New chain fencing at the Kamloops School of the Arts and upgrades to the parking lot at Westmount elementary are designed to improve student safety and address growing enrolment. The addition of four portables brings the total number of portable classrooms to 37, emphasizing the need for new schools in Pineview Valley and Sun Peaks and expansions at Westmount elementary and Valleyview and South Kamloops secondaries. Examples of summertime work include: • Installation of leadfiltered water stations in all schools, approximately $140,000; • Roof replacement at Logan Lake elementary, approximately $420,000; • Roof replacement at Barriere elementary, approximately $440,000; • Paving upgrade at Westsyde secondary, approximately $300,000; • Wood shop dust collection system replacement at Sa-Hali secondary, approximately $475,000; • Wood shop dust collection system replacement at Westsyde secondary, approximately $425,000.

Bone discovery halts work

Lost hiker found and is safe

JESSICA WALLACE

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Construction has been halted on Valleyview Drive, following the discovery of a human bone. BC Hydro has been working in the area to upgrade electrical equipment and increase power supply to Valleyview and Juniper residents. On Friday, crews were excavating when they discovered the bone — prompting work on the project to be stopped under BC Hydro’s heritage obligations. “BC Hydro follows a heritage chance find procedure — a process that stops work immediately if a potential artifact or heritage object is discovered at a work site,” BC Hydro’s Megan Chadwick said in an email. Kamloops RCMP and the BC Coroners Service have confirmed the bone is not of recent origin. It is unclear when work — which spans a distance of about one kilometre along Valleyview Drive from Rose Hill Road to Russett Wynd — will continue.

A Kamloops woman reported missing after going for a hike north of the city has been found and is safe. Jennifer Baird’s car was found on Lac du Bois Road on Tuesday, near Opax Hill, where she was known to hike. Searches on Tuesday by Kamloops Search and Rescue and Kamloops Mounties, including the use of a police dog and police helicopter failed to yield signs of the 42-year-old Tim Hortons employee. Searches continued on Wednesday and, in the early evening, according to members of her church, Berean Baptist Church on the North Shore, Baird was found. She had apparently lost her glasses while in the hills of Lac du Bois and became lost on a trail. Baird eventually emerged on a road and a driver passing by in a vehicle recognized her as the missing hiker featured in media stories and on social media.

The city has now changed its zoning bylaw and included retail cannabis in its regulations for business licences ahead of legalization, which is set for Oct. 17. “We know that there are some other bylaws that need to be tweaked, but as far as retail cannabis sales, I think we’re pretty close to the end point,” business licence inspector Dave Jones told KTW. “Now it’s just a matter of educating staff and determining how we move that forward.” Following the public hearing, council set the annual business licence fee for cannabis stores at $5,000 and the permit

application fee at $1,600. The vote was 6-1 in favour of the fees, with Coun. Tina Lange opposed and Coun. Denis Walsh recusing himself due to a possible conflict of interest. Walsh owns a building downtown with empty space and said he has received calls from potential cannabis retailers. He said he is also considering entering the recreational marijuana market. Lange said the pricey business licence fee will

hurt an estimated 12 to 20 business owners trying to start up. No prospective cannabis retailers spoke at the hearing, which saw just one member of the public address council. Jennifer Adams, who is running for a council seat in the upcoming municipal election, described the fees as unfair to people who will be regular business owners. The permit application fee matches that

paid by owners of beer and wine stores, but the $5,000 business license fee is much higher than its liquor store equivalent of $196. Mayor Ken Christian has described the $5,000 fee as a placeholder while cities await word on what the revenuesharing split with the provincial government is going to be. Municipal costs related to cannabis could include policing, zoning and social services.

WELCOME TO THE HolMES IS WHERE

Adams asked if the city would consider lowering the fee once it knows if some of those costs are going to be covered by the provincial government. “We should be having all legal businesses with similar fees,” Adams told council. Christian said he shared her concerns regarding the amount, noting the $5,000 was staff’s recommendation after reaching out to similar-sized cities dealing with the same issue. “This is, at best, a placeholder and, just like any of our bylaws, they can be reviewed by

us or a future council,” Christian said. Lange said the $5,000 fee is high. She said she owned a liquor store and knows the cannabis shops will have plenty of other expenses. “I can see that down the road if there was huge issues, that then we would increase [the fees], but to do it ahead of time is punitive,” Lange told her fellow councillors. The fact no prospective cannabis retailers spoke at the hearing indicated to Coun. Arjun Singh that keeping the fee at $5,000 is appropriate. Lange suggested the dearth of cannabis retailers at the public hearing may have been the result of them being afraid to come forward and debate the fee out of fear council “may not like them as much when they came to open up their store.” “Please be assured that every cannabis application will be adju-

dicated with an open mind by this council,” Christian replied. Jones told KTW he believes it will take a few years before the cost of recreational cannabis to the city will be known. “The $5,000 will probably recover some of those costs. I don’t believe it’s going to cover them all and that’s an opportunity for us to document and determine whether we can lower [the fee] in a couple years,” Jones said. “And if we can’t, then how much money can we receive from the province to reduce some of those costs?” A large portion of that business licence fee will likely be used to educate business owners, the public and bylaw officers about the new rules for cannabis, he said. Jones said there will be additional staff time needed from his department, particularly when edibles are legalized next year.

STAYING AWARE OF OVERDOSE CRISIS

n Aug. 31, anyone affected by the opioid crisis, from users and their families to first responders and other service providers, will take time to remember those lost or who have had their lives forever changed by the use of illicit drugs. Aug. 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day and is marked in various communities with Naloxone training sessions, rallies and candlelight vigils of remembrance. Where some people may feel a distance from its devastating effects, not knowing anybody who has been impacted by addiction, the day is designed to educate about the depth of the crisis and illustrate just how close to home it can strike. In April 2016, the provincial government looked at the staggering number of overdose deaths and declared a public health emergency. Since then, fentanyl and other substances have led to overdoses across Canada, throughout the United States and around the world. Parents, siblings and friends in Kamloops and elsewhere have either lost loved ones to overdoses or watched them fight back from a near-death experience. There is no event in Kamloops to mark the day, but as KTW’s Dale Bass detailed in her column this week, you can still take action. Local members of Moms Against the Harm have created a purple campaign that gives everyone a way to make a statement without having to gather somewhere. They are asking that people wear an awareness ribbon or wristband and use the social-media hashtags #OverdoseAware, #EndOverdose or #PurpleRibbon. Purple and silver are the colours associated with International Overdose Awareness Day. You can also help fund their goal of installing a memorial bench in Riverside Park.

Gouging is gauche

n the sunset of her career in civic politics, Tina Lange has done her job in shining much-needed light on the cannabis issue in Kamloops. Since she is not seeking reelection, Lange’s time on city council will end in a few weeks, when voters go to the polls to elect a new council. Lange has been right on the mark with her stance on how the city should be dealing with the pending legalization of recreational marijuana. The veteran city councillor was the lone voice of reason when she correctly labelled the proposed $5,000 business licence fee for marijuana shops as “gouging” by the city. Lange was again on point this past Tuesday night while at the public hearing that confirmed the gouging will be law. Last December, a public hearing on other aspects of legal marijuana — including where in the city such businesses can operate and how far from each other they must be — attracted a number of speakers. This week’s public hearing on the outlandish business licence fee elicited one response from the public — and the presenter was not a potential cannabis entrepreneur. The dearth of dialogue on the issue led Coun. Arjun Singh to suggest putative pot purveyors were at peace with having to pay $5,000 per year — or 25 times the amount liquor store owners pay. Once again, it fell to Lange to suggest a more plausible reason for no comments from those seeking

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS to sell legal weed in Kamloops: she mused that it might be the result of said entrepreneurs being afraid to come forward and debate the fee out of fear council “may not like them as much when they came to open up their store.” However, even if Singh is correct and those fledgling green thumb free-enterprisers have accepted the $5,000 business licence fee, it doesn’t make it right. And to vote in favour of such an exorbitant fee, all the while cognizant of the fact agents of alcohol pay a relative pittance for the right to sell a product that does far more damage — socially and economically — defies common sense. Aside from hypothetical bureaucratic costs to the city, alcohol is in a league of its own when examining the cost to society. In June, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction and the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research released a report on the cost of substance abuse in the country. It found the four substances related to the largest costs are alcohol at $14.6 billion, tobacco at $12

billion, opioids at $3.5 billion and marijuana at $2.8 billion. Note those numbers show alcohol is more costly and creates more misery than all other drugs combined. Locally, it has been repeated ad nauseam that municipalities like Kamloops may face legal marijuana-related costs connected to policing, zoning and social services. I don’t recall ever hearing local politicians and staff members raising this issue when dealing with a pub or liquor store application. There should actually be less policing costs once recreational marijuana is legalized on Oct. 17, as it then becomes a regulated legal substance, much like alcohol and tobacco. How much time do Mounties spend focusing on the day-to-day operations of liquor stores? How do zoning costs factor into the equation? Are rezoning applications not part of the work done by salaried employees? Should education about legalized pot not rest with the provincial and federal governments, as it does now with other substances? There was, however, a sliver of optimism that emerged from this week’s public hearing. It seemed as though Lange’s concerns were heard in that Mayor Ken Christian suggested the $5,000 fee may be temporary. “This is, at best, a placeholder and, just like any of our bylaws, they can be reviewed by us or a future council,” Christian said. Let’s hope so, because parity between cannabis and alcohol should be the minimum goal. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CHANGE MARIJUANA ADMINISTRATION POLICY Editor: I just found out that even if a doctor prescribes medical cannabis to a care facility resident, the nurses are not allowed to administer it. Family members are allowed to, but how many family members are able to come in

every day to do this? This policy must be changed immediately. Medical cannabis is so much safer than other drugs as it is impossible to die from an overdose of cannabis. The pain medication being used

now has side effects, with constipation being a common one, with that side effect condition needing to be treated. They also often have to keep increasing the doses without completely being able to relieve the pain.

Cannabis is very effective for pain, depression and anxiety, all of which are rampant in care facilities. There is a lot of suffering I believe could be alleviated by changing this policy. Kristin Saunders Kamloops

REAL ESTATE IS NOT IMMUNE TO LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND Editor: Further to Kamloops Coun. Kathy Sinclair’s Aug. 10 column about letter of Aug. 10 about homelessness, I agree there is a problem (‘Housing is the issue at home’): Another article, about the thugs the City of Kamloops sent to harass two children running a lemonade stand, speaks volumes

about why that is. Real estate is not immune to the law of supply and demand. If there is an increase in demand and no increase in supply, prices go up. Since I have lived in Kamloops, there has been an approximately 50 per cent increase in population — to 95,000 from 65,000. There has not been a similar

increase in property development. If you ask a realtor or a developer why the cost of housing in Kamloops is so high, they will tell you it’s due to a lack of supply. According to the Fraser Institute, the City of Vancouver assesses $78,000 in development cost charges and other fees for a one-bedroom condominium and it takes months to get approved.

What are the costs in Kamloops? As former U.S. president Ronald Reagan so famously said, “The most terrifying phrase in the English language is, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” Pat Kavanagh Kamloops

LET’S THANK, NOT CRITICIZE, THOSE FIGHTING THE WILDFIRES Editor: I want to thank those who have been making the sacrifice to try to battle the wildfires. Anybody who has ever fought fires knows what I mean. Fighting fires is not just an adrenalin rush. Doing so is also scary, dirty and physically and mentally draining. It is a double-edged sword, both gratifying and depressing.

CLEAN IT UP!

These individuals are literally putting their lives on the lines to save people and property. It is an insult to firefighters to hear people complain that not enough is being done or that what is being done is not being done well. Maybe the complainers should get off their butts, be productive members of their community and province and help fight the fires. If they cannot be bothered to do that, they

need to zip their lips because now is not the time to be spewing negativity. And, if they are in areas under an evacuation order, they need to get out so lives are not put at risk.

“Trans Mountain is currently taking measures to suspend construction related activities on the project in a safe and orderly manner. The court decision was not a condition of the transaction between KML and the federal government,” the company stated. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said the court has spoken and that the NEB erred in consultation. “My sense of it would be that the federal government should get on with the proper consultation and view this as a delay,” he said. Christian said it will mean the continuation of oil transported by rail and risks associated with that method, in particular to waterways in the North and South Thompson River valleys. It also means a financial hit to the city, with a community benefits agreement in the form of a one-time payment of $750,000 effectively on hold while the project remains in limbo. Christian noted Kinder Morgan pays into the city’s utility tax category, revenue that was set to increase with the expanded infrastructure. “That money will not be coming to the city, so that’s going to put further pressure on industrial and residential taxpayers,” he said. Christian noted the decision will cost jobs in Kamloops, with the city due to be a main point for construction activity from Kamloops to Darfield and Merritt. Christian said the people who benefit from the court decision are lawyers. Some First Nations are celebrating the ruling. Chief Judy Wilson of the Neskonlith First Nation near Chase declared the project null and void and called on the federal government to halt it. Earlier this year, Wilson flew to Kinder Morgan headquarters in Houston, Tex., where she spoke to company shareholders about concerns

her band has with the project. Otis Jasper, director of operations for the Tk’emlups Te Secwepemc First Nation in Kamloops, said that should Prime Minister Justin Trudeau choose to re-start the consultation process, as directed in the court ruling, those who have fought it “look forward to having that nation to nation conversation.” Premier John Horgan praised the ruling, but added he is not planning to withdraw his government’s legal action linked to the movement of oil from Alberta through B.C. In April, Horgan’s government asked the B.C. Court of Appeal to decide if the province has the legal right to restrict the flow of bitumen by pipeline or rail. Horgan said he still believes it is essential to have a decision on who holds legal jurisdiction of environment. That led to a trade war between B.C. and Alberta, which has championed the Kinder Morgan pipeline project. Horgan said he acknowledges the ruling “is a devastating decision for many in Alberta,” but noted his job is to act on what his government believes to be best for British Columbia. Kamloops-South Thompson (B.C. Liberal) MLA Todd Stone said he is wondering if “Canada is open for business” in light of the ruling. Noting the Federal Court of Appeal ruling was written by Justice Eleanor Dawson — who also wrote the decision that ended Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project in 2016 — Stone said Kinder Morgan used that decision to refine its planned pipeline so that it met concerns contained in Dawson’s judgment. “Apparently, those previous directions were not enough,” Stone said. He said Canada is content with American tankers passing through its waterways, taking oil from Alaska to Washington state, with selling raw bitumen to the U.S. and buying the refined product back at a higher price and with buying oil from Saudi Arabia. But, he added, “it’s not OK for Canada to do this. That leaves me very sad and frustrated.” Stone said many families along the pipe-

line route from Edmonton to Burnaby — a route that would see it go through a part of Kamloops — were counting on the jobs to be created. “Now, there’s a black cloud over that reality,” he said. Stone said he respects the concerns of First Nations and believes the pipeline can be created and managed in a way that would respect and include First Nations while protecting the environment. He said he hopes the federal government will “do everything and anything they can” to see the pipeline built. Calling the pipeline a “key piece of infrastructure” for economic stability in the Kamloops area, the North Shore Business Improvement Association released a statement welcoming the decision. It said approvals must be based on facts. “It ensures that the project will only proceed when flaws in the plan have been addressed, which we feel will lead to a more acceptable outcome,” NSBIA president Bryce Herman said in the statement. The expansion would triple the capacity of the Trans Mountain pipeline from near Edmonton to Burnaby to 890,000 barrels a day. It would also increase the number of tankers in Burrard Inlet sevenfold. The court ruled that the energy board review contained a fatal flaw: it excluded the project’s impact on marine shipping. That, in turn, meant that the energy board did not assess the potential impact of increased tanker traffic on the southern resident killer whale population. The Federal Court of Appeal case was the most significant legal challenge facing the project and the decision may still be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada. Kinder Morgan had already won several court victories, including one last week when the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed an application from the City of Burnaby to overturn a lower court decision. — with files from Canadian Press

LOCAL NEWS The long-vacant Thrupp Manor property on Royal Avenue will become home to five riverfront singlefamily homes. MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW

Rezoning leads to development on North Shore MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Members of Kamloops council took stock of concerns expressed by residents at Tuesday night’s public hearing when making a decision to rezone the former Thrupp Manor property to single-family residential lots from its current zoning for multi-unit housing, such as duplexes and seniors housing. About 50 people were in attendance for the meeting. Most of the 18 residents who spoke on the matter of rezoning and subdividing the property along the south side of Royal Avenue were in favour of the proposed change. They cited the lot’s location on a flood plain, traffic concerns and the fear of increased crime as

reasons the property shouldn’t be developed as multi-unit affordable housing. Many who voiced their support were Royal Avenue residents and members of the McDonald Park Neighbourhood Association. Those who wanted multi-use suggested the area needed densification and, if council went through with the rezoning, it wouldn’t be supporting its own official community plan. Former councillor Nancy Bepple addressed council with a concern there is no riverfront property available in the city for any type of housing other than single-family residential, arguing the Thrupp lots give an opportunity to change that. “Why should only people who want to or are capable of living in a single-family house be allowed to live on the river, which is, for

the most part, what’s being done in Kamloops so far?” Bepple asked, noting a huge segment of the population would be excluded if the rezoning was approved. Council, however, voted 7-1 in favour of the rezoning following the hearing. Denis Walsh was opposed. The sentiments expressed by residents of the area were noted by Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Tina Lange and Dieter Duty as factors in their decision to support the rezoning. “I don’t easily sway from the official community plan, but I do believe that there are times that a neighbourhood speaks that you have to — and I think this is one of those times,” Christian said. City real estate manager David Freeman told council the funds from the sale of the lots will replenish the fund that was

depleted to purchase other properties for affordable housing, including lots on Tranquille Road and at Fifth Avenue and St. Paul Street. Christian and Lange also said the bid process for the five subdivided properties would generate the most money for the city, which could be then be deposited in the affordable housing fund. According to Freeman, the Thrupp Manor property was purchased in 2011 for $900,000. The cost to service the five lots would be $75,000 and each lot would be sold for a price in the neighbourhood of $240,000. After servicing costs, the sale would generate about $1.15 million, Freeman said. SPIRIT SQUARE A GO Council on Tuesday also unanimously approved a development

permit and rezoning application for Spirit Square, changing it from its parks and recreation zoning to commercial use for the first phase of an affordable-housing building being developed by Arpa Investments and ASK Wellness. A portion of 502 Mackenzie Ave. behind the Spirit Square sign is also being rezoned — an unzoned portion of an alley on the north side of the property. The project is expected to break ground this fall. Arpa part-owner Joshua Knaak said construction activity should begin in September and will continue through the winter. The second phase will involve commercial space and rental suites for the general market along Yew Street, which will come up for a development permit at a later date.

EllisDon will build $417-million tower at RIH EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare has been chosen to build the patient-care tower at Royal Inland Hospital, a project that could soon begin. EllisDon Infrastructure was one of three companies short-listed for the $417-million tower. A contract is expected to be completed in the fall. The other two bids came from Inter-River Healthcare Partners (Bird Construction) and Plenary Health (PCL Construction). Construction will occur in two phases. The first involves design and construction of the tower, which will house 11 operating rooms, mentalhealth 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. There will be underground parking in the structure and a helipad on the roof. The second phase involves renovation and expansion of the emergency department, pediatric ward, post-anesthetic recovery ward and the morgue. More parking stalls will also be added to the main hospital structure. The plan is to enlarge the ER to the area where the main hospital elevators are located. Funding is being shared. The province and Interior Health will contribute $225 million, another $172 million will come from the Thompson Regional Hospital District and the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation has committed to $20 million. The tower is expected to open in 2022, with the second-phase expansion expected in 2024. Kamloops-South Thompson (B.C. Liberal) MLA Todd Stone said he is pleased to see “the tower initiated by our former government appears to be on track,” noting he will continue to advocate for the project.

Métis flag to be flown above city hall JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Métis flag will fly atop a new community flag pole at Kamloops City Hall to mark Louis Riel Day on Nov. 16. “It means we as Métis people are part of building this country,” Dean Gladue, president of the Two Rivers Métis Society, told KTW. The City of

Kamloops recently erected a third flag pole at its downtown property to accommodate community requests. It came after Kamloops Pride was denied last year to fly a rainbow flag at city hall in advance of its inaugural pride parade. It was eventually the first to rise on the new flag pole earlier this month, after council voted to spend

$4,000 on the new flag pole. The national Métis flag— blue with a white infinity symbol — is the second to be approved. Gladue said the River City is home to 700 registered Métis and up to 1,400 who self-identify as Métis. The flag has flown in other communities across the country, he noted, but never in Kamloops. Gladue called it

“another positive thing to move forward with,” following a decision by Victoria city council to remove a statue of John A. Macdonald — who Gladue compared to Adolf Hitler — from in front of city hall and a Supreme Court of Canada ruling in 2016 that included Métis under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Gladue also pointed to the Trans Mountain pipeline project, which is in limbo after the Supreme Court ruled to halt construction due, in part, to a lack of consultation with First Nations. “That just says how far Indigenous people have come,” Gladue said. While Gladue points to Riel as a national hero, the Métis leader remains a controversial historical figure, having yet to be exonerated after he was hanged for treason for leading an uprising against the Canadian government. The city evaluates applications from community groups to fly a flag on the community flag poll at

city hall on a case by case basis under its street and pole banner policy. That policy will be combined into a new policy to include flags, as per council’s June vote that included the addition of the flag pole. Councillors Ray Dhaliwal, Donovan Cavers, Tina Lange, Dieter Dudy, Denis Walsh and Kathy Sinclair voted in favour, while Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Pat Wallace and Arjun Singh opposed. Singh said at the time he had a problem with issues of discretion, while Wallace suggested adding the flag pole at a different location, other than city hall. The banner policy specifies banners must conform to principles in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. City of Kamloops corporate officer Maria Mazzota said the Charter’s freedom of expression standards are broad and noted the Métis flag has no grounds to be found offensive.

Sinclair: plan now for smoke JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor wants to know how the city is planning for next summer should smoke blanket the Tournament Capital for a third consecutive year. “I think I am not alone in having hoped that this year would be much different than last summer,” Coun. Kathy Sinclair said. She said she has heard from concerned residents in recent weeks as smoke from wildfires across B.C. socked in the city. Director of recreation Byron

McCorkell said the city has received similar concerns. He said there are ways for the city to monitor or modify maintenance schedules of recreational facilities, as was done last week at the Tournament Capital Centre. City CAO David Trawin added, however, that it’s not just a matter of changing maintenance schedules. He said city buildings don’t have air scrubbers to effectively clean the air, meaning air quality in recreational facilities might not be any better than the air outside. “The air is no more, for lack of a better word, less polluted without some serious upgrades

to those buildings’ ventilation systems,” he said. “So it will come as a cost.” Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian commended staff’s response last week, when it adjusted scheduled maintenance at the TCC to give residents a place in which to take refuge. “But I think that the public has to realize that it does come with a cost and that this is not an easy thing to accomplish,” he said, noting it could be more expensive and more people could be displaced as the maintenance at the TCC was initially scheduled during the slowest period of programming.

Brock project off to hearing A 73-UNIT DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED FOR 2683 ORD RD. JESSICA WALLACE

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 73-unit residential development planned for Ord Road will go to a public hearing. The property at 2683 Ord Rd. requires rezoning from commercial to residential to move ahead with the proposed bareland-strata development. While council voted unanimously to garner feedback from the public, Coun. Arjun Singh noted the North Shore Neighbourhood Plan discourages further residential construction on Ord Road. That plan identifies Ord Road as a transitional area composed of a variety of land uses, including residential, and “devoid of one cohesive identify.” “Community input during the preparation of the North Shore Neighbourhood

Plan identified the Ord Road Corridor as an area for service commercial and light industrial uses,” it states. City planning supervisor Eric Beach, however, noted that plan is nearly a decade old and will be reviewed after the downtown plan is completed next spring. Beach said the recent KamPlan has policies within commercial designations to allow standalone multi-family residential development subject to evaluation. Staff deemed it to fit that criteria, given the project is adjacent to the Brock Estates

mobile home park and the Ord Road dog park. “The Ord Road corridor is kind of a hodgepodge of residential and we have approved mobile home parks on that corridor with the North Shore Neighbourhood Plan in place,” Beach said. “That will have to be reevaluated when we revisit the neighbourhood plan. “We can clean it up at that time.” The housing project, proposed by Septer Investments, would consist of duplexes and single-family homes geared at first-time homebuyers and seniors looking to downsize. The project will also likely be subject to a sewer capacity study. Council voted unanimously to send the rezoning application to a public hearing. Pat Wallace was not at Tuesday’s council meeting.

Sarai wants to create council/public connection JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bill Sarai says he will have time to give back to his community when he retires from Canada Post after more than three decades as a letter carrier. Sarai ran in the 2017 byelection, placing fifth out of 21 candidates seeking to fill two seats. The 56-year-old married father of three ran, in part, because he felt the city had become divided over the proposed Ajax mine. He said the city has yet to heal from division over the sincedefeated project south of Aberdeen. “It’ll take fresh voices and knowledge to bring our city back together again,” he said. Sarai hopes to be one of those fresh voices on council when voters go to the polls on Oct. 20. He said attracting new business would keep crime down and taxes low. As a letter carrier, he took on an advo-

cacy role for improved snow removal in the city. He rallied 90 or more letter carriers in town to canvas city streets and found that “some streets weren’t done at all.” He notified city staff and is pleased the issue will be addressed in next year’s budget talks. City staff has asked for more funding to maintain service levels as the city grows. “I always said I want to speak up for the people of Kamloops,” Sarai said. He has volunteered for the city’s Social Planning Council, Kamloops Youth Soccer Association, the Western Canada Summer Games and the recent BC Winter Games. He has been a member at the Eagles Hall, Moose Hall and the Royal Canadian Legion.

Asked to evaluate city council in its last term, Sarai said his time delivering mail in Kamloops has allowed him to see and speak to everybody. “I see a disconnect between the citizens of Kamloops and city council,” he said, noting residents’ concerns don’t match up with actions by council. He’d prefer potholes be repaired before the city promotes Bike to Work Week. Another priority would be to “jump start” the economy to allow students who are educated in the city to stay and work in Kamloops once they graduate. The Brocklehurst resident also noted a lack of sidewalks in areas of Brock and North Kamloops, with kids walking to school on the shoulder of a road. “That’s unacceptable,” he said. Sarai will be at the upcoming Labour Day picnic in McDonald Park, will host a midSeptember campaign barbecue and can be found on Facebook.

Election forum set The Council of Canadians Kamloops Chapter will be hosting an election forum at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market a month before the municipal election. The forum will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22, in the former Stuart Wood ele-

mentary yard downtown. It will include a meet-the-candidates component at 8 a.m., followed by questions at 10 a.m. Audience questions will be prescreened prior to the forum to save time. Council of Canadians member Bruce Campbell will moderate.

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kevin Krueger has never been one to mince words. The 63-year-old former MLA and cabinet minister, once nicknamed “Foghorn,” has been critical of city council while seeking a seat around the horseshoe at city hall. Online, he has gone so far as to call two city councillors “dumb.” He told KTW he disagreed with the decision by five councillors to write a letter in support of proportional representation, which he said is out of their jurisdiction. Krueger also believes the city missed out on the performing-

arts centre — having “stupidly attached” it to a parkade — and has focused too much time on topics like backyard hens. “We haven’t been getting our share of things because we have got a council that’s dominated by an NDP farm team,” Krueger said.

He said those types of comments won’t get in the way should he be elected on Oct. 20. Asked if he could work with the very councillors he has been criticizing, Krueger replied: “Absolutely. That’s our job.” Krueger is no rookie in the political arena. He

spent 17 years as opposition and government MLA for KamloopsSouth Thompson and Kamloops-North Thompson and held various cabinet portfolios, including tourism and arts. After retiring from provincial politics, he finished his career at ICBC.

Krueger receives two taxpayer-funded pensions — though he said the ICBC pension is lower due to time away during his political career — and has been keeping busy with seven grandkids and doing consultant work. All the while, Krueger has been paying attention to local issues. Asked why he is running for city council, Krueger said he was raised thinking about political issues and how to do things better. He was narrowly defeated in the 2017 byelection and said he ran a low profile.

“I’ve always had a mind and a heart for public service,” he said. The Barnhartvale resident said he believes in working hard, keeping his eyes open and helping everyone he can. He cited public

safety, snow removal, recycling and city growth among the most significant issues facing the city. “Growth now is happening so fast that a lot of people feel left behind,” he said.

Two sustainability initiatives have been given the green light and funding. Kamloops council has voted to contribute $15,000 toward a new provincial initiative launching this fall that will give residents incentives to energy test their homes. “We’ve been hoping for a program like this to come from various levels of government,” city sustainability services supervisor Glen Cheetham said. The $24-million energy retrofit program is expected near the end of September, co-funded by the province and the federal government’s low carbon economy leadership fund. The city funding comes from the city’s climate action fund reserve and will provide incentives for up to 100 existing Kamloops homes. A report to council notes residential buildings contribute to about 10 per cent of the city’s emissions. The program is also expected to build on demand for local energy advisors. Right now, there is one full-time energy advisor serving Kamloops and most of the work is outside of the city. Assessments cost between $600 and $800. The province will provide $300 and the city will provide $150, making the cost significantly lower.

While the city approved incentives for up to 100 houses, the province will contribute beyond that number. Cheetham said there is an opportunity to do more down the road, should the program be successful. “Great idea, great start,” Coun. Dieter Dudy said. “That’s just what it is — a great start.” Cheetham said as the province prepares to roll out the program this fall, few details about how to apply for the rebates and how many assessments will be subsidized by the province are known. But he called the initiative significant. Meanwhile, council has also decided to pitch in $5,000 to pilot a wood stove buyback program and $5,000 to renew a wood stove exchange program in 2019. It also agreed to waive a $50 solid fuel appliance building permit fee. A total of 29 uncertified woodburning appliances were decommissioned in 2018, according to a city report, after the Kamloops, with provincial support, launched incentives to remove and properly dispose of uncertified wood-burning appliance and replace them with lower-emissions options. The objective of the program is to promote the cleanest-burning appliances in the city as possible. The money is also coming from the city’s climate action fund reserve.

TCC pool re-opens The COURTS

Prison time for grow-op A 500-plant marijuana grow-op in the Shuswap has landed a man nine months in prison. James Barnes pleaded guilty to charges of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. He also pleaded guilty to an unrelated possession charge stemming from an incident earlier this year in which he was busted with a small amount of crystal meth. Court heard police busted the 49-year-old’s grow-op on Aug. 29, 2015, in Tappen, 10 minutes north of Salmon Arm. In addition to the 500 plants, investigators seized six pounds of magic mushrooms. In addition to the jail time, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley ordered Barnes to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database and barred him from possessing firearms for a decade. PRELIM SET A man accused of killing his cellmate at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre will have his preliminary inquiry begin on Sept. 24. Nathaniel Jessup, 31, is charged with seconddegree murder in connection with the death of Dylan Levi Judd, who was found dead in his cell at KRCC on Nov. 10, 2014. The death of Judd, 20, was initially not believed to have been criminal in nature. A coroners inquest was slated to take place in November 2015, but it was postponed weeks before when police once again began investigating Judd’s death. Jessup was arrested in February at the end of an unrelated 40-month sentence.

The Canada Games Aquatic Centre was set to re-open on Thursday — five days earlier than expected — to provide residents with refuge, should air quality once again deteriorate. The centre will open with modified hours through Sunday — noon to 4 p.m. each day.

The centre will close on Labour Day and reopen on Tuesday, Sept. 4, under its full schedule. “The maintenance teams have worked hard to complete their work ahead of schedule,” City of Kamloops business operations supervisor Sean Smith said in a press release. “We’re excited to be

able to welcome patrons back a little early to help provide relief if the smoke rolls back in.” The city earlier re-opened the Tournament Capital Centre fieldhouse and postponed regular annual maintenance to give people a place to get away from the smoke.

TRU prof downplays birth tourism issue DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops economist said birth tourism is not a significant concern, despite concerns raised by the federal Conservative party. Ehsan Latif, chair of the department of economics at Thompson Rivers University, said there is a potential benefit the country might experience from situations in which foreign nationals come to the country to give birth to children, who then obtain Canadian citizenship. Latif, who researches immigration issues, said those families will often send their children back to Canada for an education, which

benefits the school system, noting many choose to remain in the country, finding employment, starting businesses and contributing the the national way of life. Latif referred to a report by StatsCan, which showed 313 live births in Canada in 2016 by mothers who did not live in the country. In 2015, the figure was 233. In 2014, the figure was 278. In 2013, the figure was 352. In 2012, the figure was 699. Statistics from Richmond General Hospital, the focus of the birther tourism situation, detail 474 births in the 2017-2018 fiscal year, 383 in the 2016-2017 fiscal year, 299 in 2015-2016 and 337 in 2014-2015. Carrie Stefanson, spokes-

woman with the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, said she can’t account for the difference between statistics from the hospital and Stats Canada, other than in how the basic information is calculated. Stefanson said the health authority tracks non-resident births by method of payment. She said the total number of births at the Richmond facility has decreased, but noted the percentage born to non-resident parents reached 22.1 per cent in the 2017 fiscal year, up from 17.2 per cent the year before, 15.5 per cent in 2015 and 15.4 per cent in 2014. Non-resident birth fees at B.C. hospitals vary in in price, but non-residents pay much

more than Canadians. A ward room in Richmond General costs the health-care system $3,235 per day; intensive-care rooms cost $9,885 a day. Costs associated with birth for non-residents include $1,000 to $1,500 for care of mother and newborn, $3,500 to $5,500 for newborn only, $10,000 to $12,000 if the baby requires a special-care nursery, $1,350 for a normal delivery room, $2,310 for a caesareansection delivery with anesthesia and from $1,300 to $3,000 for treatment of some complications. Those dollar values, as of February 2017, come from a report by a Vancouver-area insurance company that specializes in hospital insurance

on the Lower Mainland. Latif, himself an immigrant who came to Canada for education, said Asian families in particular often opt for a birth in Canada that brings citizenship, with a plan to send the child back for education. He said the children learn Canadian culture, receive a better education and “are often more productive than me.” When classes return next week, School District 73 is anticipating 226 students from 16 nations being in their seats and ready to learn. The majority come from Germany, Brazil and China. Thompson Rivers University had 4,579 international students last year.

Mounties seek information on car seen near fire Mounties are looking for information on a car seen driving right by the Royal Bank in Chase when it exploded in flames on Sunday, Aug. 12. Chase RCMP Cpl. Scott Linklater said security cameras in the area captured a grey or silver hatchback (in photo at right) similar in style to a newer-model Honda Civic, leaving the area immediately after the fire began. Linklater said Mounties want to speak

with the occupants of the vehicle or anyone who may have information regarding the car. Those with information can call 250679-3221. Emergency crews were called to the bank just after 4 a.m. on Aug. 12 and found the ATM vestibule fully engulfed in flames. No one was injured in the blaze.

GLOBAL VIEWS

The Australian Sickness is not likely to infect Canada

happened to be in Canberra last week, speaking to a room full of journalists at the National Press Club, when the news came in that Australia had a new prime minister. The moderator pointed out that the year is already twothirds gone and it is “only three prime ministers till Christmas.” The China Daily’s headline read, “Australia changes its prime minister again, again, again, again, again.” The new prime minister, Scott Morrison, is the third leader of the governing Liberal (i.e. conservative) Party since 2015. In the five years before that, there were three prime ministers from the Labor Party. Only twice were those prime ministers chosen by the voters; in the other four cases, the changes were driven by intra-party coups — “spills” in the Australian political vernacular. Mockery is appropriate and it was not in short supply when former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull was overthrown by his own party last week. “In the future, everyone will be Australian prime minister for fifteen minutes,” tweeted Not Andy Warhol. Another online commentator pointed out that “Game of Thrones is not an instructional manual.” But it is in Australia. Backstabbing is old hat; the new fashion in both major Australian political parties is frontstabbing. Yet there are no great issues at stake, no national crisis that must be overcome. Australia is still a lucky country. It has 25-million people with a healthy economy (they didn’t even have a recession after 2008), no enemies and a whole continent to play with. What drove the latest spill was a challenge to the sitting prime minister by Peter Dutton, an MP from his own party. Dutton is on the Liberal Party’s right wing and didn’t like Turnbull’s relatively enlightened climate-change policies — but

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH even when Turnbull dropped his new emission-control proposals, the revolt continued. In the end, although Turnbull went down, Dutton did not take his place. Morrison, a man much more in Turnbull’s mould, did. To outsiders, it seemed utterly pointless, a not very large tempest in a teapot, but it transfixed the Australian media and paralyzed government for several weeks. What is causing this weird behaviour in an otherwise fairly sensible country? Is it just a passing lunacy like the dancing mania of the late Middle Ages in Europe (which was never adequately explained) or the hula-hoop craze in America in the late 1950s? And, more importantly, is it a communicable disease? Australian politics wasn’t always like this. Between 1983 and 2007, Australia had just three prime ministers. Elections (in which everyone must vote or pay a $20 fine) happen every three years or less, which is clearly too often, but the political system was the same back when Australian politics was far more stable. The fact that Australian politicians are never more than three years away from the next election certainly encourages a short-term perspective, but it doesn’t explain why they are always changing horses. Maybe you have to add to the mix constant opinion polling and a 24-hour media cycle that

demands some new political news every day. The opinion polls are read as a judgment on the party leader’s ability to win the next election. When Turnbull ousted former Liberal prime minister Tony Abbott in 2015, he said, “We have lost 30 news polls in a row. It is clear that the people have made up their mind about Mr Abbott’s leadership.” And out Abbott went. So, when Turnbull lost in 30 consecutive opinion polls (they come out about every two weeks), he too became vulnerable and the Australian news media, always looking for the next big story, began stirring the brew. The Liberal Party’s MPs panicked (again) and, since the most obvious way they could try to change the predicted outcome was to change their leader, that’s what they did. But other countries have opinion polls and hyperactive media, too, and their parliaments don’t act like that. They may benefit from the fact their elections are less frequent (every five years for parliamentary elections in Canada, Britain and France), but they don’t act like that even in the last year before an election. The conclusion is unavoidable — this is an essentially random and purely local case of monkey see, monkey do, like dancing mania and hula hoops. Julia Gillard organized a revolt against the Labour Party leader and sitting prime minister Kevin Rudd in 2010. He returned the favour and overthrew her just before the next election and the game was on. Rudd lost the 2013 election and the last three prime ministers have been Liberal, not Labour, so the infection can clearly cross party boundaries. Since there is an election due next year, which the polls predict Labour will win, there will probably soon be yet another Australian prime minister. But there is no sign, as yet, that the madness can cross the oceans.

Former Australian PM says he is quitting ASSOCIATED PRESS

Australia’s former prime minister says he will resign from Parliament in a move that could cost the unpopular conservative government its single-seat majority. Malcolm Turnbull told supporters that he will resign from Parliament on Friday, a week

after he was forced from office by lawmakers in his conservative Liberal Party because he had lost their support. That could set the stage for an Oct. 6 byelection. Prime Minister Scott Morrison could also call general elections, although he has said he plans to hold polls close to when an election is due in May.

Morrison visited the droughtstricken Outback on Monday in a demonstration that he has turned his focus away from his government’s internal drama to the problems of the nation. The new prime minister selected drought assistance as a top priority along with national security and economic growth when he was chosen to lead.

Fourth suspect arrested in shooting of Mountie STEVE LAMBERT

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Four suspects are in custody after an RCMP officer was shot and seriously injured while responding to a break-and-enter call near a small resort town in western Manitoba. Assistant Commissioner Scott Kolody, the force’s commanding officer in Manitoba, said two Mounties got out of their car at a rural property near Onanole on Wednesday night when they were immediately fired upon. RCMP said officers did not shoot back. “One officer was struck and airlifted to a Winnipeg hospital,’’

Kolody said on Thursday. “Earlier this morning, our officers arrested three adult male suspects ... We continue to look for an additional suspect who is considered armed and dangerous.’’ Six hours later, the fourth suspect was taken into custody following a standoff at a home in Neepawa, about 75 kilometres by road southeast of Onanole. “At this point in the investigation, we believe all suspects involved in ... [the] shooting are in custody. There is no further threat to public safety at this time,’’ RCMP said in a release. The 42-year-old injured corporal was in serious but stable condition in hospital, Kolody said.

He did not divulge details of the injuries. Kolody said he visited the injured officer’s family on Thursday morning. “They are deeply shaken by this incident,’’ he said. “The RCMP is truly a large family and what has unfolded over the last few hours truly affects every officer and employee from coast to coast.’’ Lloyd Ewashko, reeve of the Rural Municipality of Harrison Park — which includes Onanole — said dozens of officers were in the area after the shooting. “It was quite intense,’’ Ewashko said in an interview with the Canadian Press.

“I would imagine in and around 35, 40. Some were out in the field manning roadblocks; some were here in our office.’’ Dean Gunnarson, an escape artist who lives in Onanole, was on his way to Winnipeg for an early-morning flight to the United States. He saw many police cars rushing down the road and encountered an officer at a roadblock. “We’d had a series of break and enters [in the area] over the last year or so ... so I asked him, ‘Are you looking for some guys doing break and enters?’ He said, ‘No, we had something serious. Somebody got shot,’’’ Gunnarson said. “He said, ‘It’s really, really bad.’’’

Craig Atkinson, a municipal councillor, said he understood the three initial arrests were made along or near a provincial highway. “I believe [the suspects] were seen or reported to be breaking into people’s houses.’’ Onanole is about 100 kilometres north of Brandon and sits near the entrance to Riding Mountain National Park. It has about 350 year-round residents and others who own cottages. “We’re not used to that type of activity in our community and it’s frightening for sure,’’ Ewashko said. — with files from Ken Trimble in Edmonton

Restored prison cemetery tells social history of B.C. AMY SMART

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Jaimie McEvoy said he stumbled upon a hidden piece of British Columbia history by accident. The New Westminster city councillor spotted a coyote during a walk and followed it over a fence in pursuit of a photo. When he looked down through the tall grass, overgrown brambles and prickly bushes, he noticed rocks marked with prisoner numbers. The B.C. Penitentiary Cemetery, where at least 47 prisoners were buried between 1913 and 1968, was at risk of being forgotten, McEvoy said. Over the past two years, McEvoy has led a task force to restore the cemetery where federal inmates whose families didn’t claim their remains were buried. It’s an important piece of B.C. history, he said, especially as a snapshot of a diverse segment of the population. “British Columbia has a lot of histori-

cal sites that honour the colonial heritage and colonial officials. This is sort of an average people’s historic site and it’s a multicultural site, it reflects what British Columbia really looked like,’’ he said, adding there are inmates of Indigenous, Hawaiian, Chinese and African descent. “In the lives of the prisoners, the crimes they were convicted of and how they were treated, it shows that whole social history of our province,’’ he said. The federal prison operated in New Westminster from 1878 to 1980. The inmates buried there died in prison and were serving time for everything from murder to stealing $15 worth of socks. A Chinese inmate named Gim Kim became the first documented inmate buried at the cemetery. Alphonse Duquette, 18, was the youngest. Joseph Smith and Herman Wilson died after a failed escape attempt in which a guard was killed. One was shot and the other was executed as punishment. Five Doukhobor inmates served time for protesting nude. The most common causes of death

were suicide and tuberculosis, McEvoy said. Rob McCullough, manager of museums and heritage services, said one man died at 72 and was serving time for a habitual criminal career. He was convicted of 45 offences in 54 years. But many remain a mystery. “The majority of them, we know their names, we know their age at death and we know for some of them, a bit about the crimes they committed. The vast majority we don’t have details on what they were there for or their families to that end,’’ McCullough said. Fellow inmates dug the graves, built the coffins and made the nails that sealed them. They placed rocks at the burial mounds marked with the prisoner’s number and nothing else, McEvoy said. While 47 burial sites have been confirmed, others are believed to be unmarked and McCullough said there may be up to 61 dead buried there. The city has spent $26,000 on the project, including $14,000 on geotechnical

analysis to determine the size and scope of the graveyard and work with genealogists. McEvoy said the land was passed to the municipality after the penitentiary closed in 1980, but has been inaccessible because of a development next door. While the cemetery had been off the city’s radar for years, that wasn’t true for everyone. McEvoy said people have occasionally left flowers at the site. Beyond serving as a historical site, the city wanted to restore it as a spiritual space. The cemetery is now open to the public, with a walkway, interpretative signage and conserved grave markers. McEvoy said he hopes it will attract B.C. history fans. “I expect people from outside New Westminster who are interested in history and family members of people buried there [may come]. “And I think a lot of the neighbourhood will show up, since there’s been a lot of curiosity and fascination about the site.’’

Find your escape at Padova City Kamloops’ latest escape room explores recent history of creepy site at city’s edge MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

im McLeod knows the former Tranquille sanatorium has always piqued the interest of locals. “So many young kids have broken into the tunnels — everybody that’s local. It’s like a right of passage, but now they come on our terms,” said McLeod, who owns Tranquille Farm Fresh with his wife Anette. “We began thinking about this whole notion of people wanting to go exploring in this space,” McLeod said. Building on that interest, the McLeods have found a new way of telling the long history of the ghost town at the northwest corner of Kamloops. Come Thursday, Sept. 6, the property’s first-ever escape room — a physical adventure game in which players trapped in a room together solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues to escape — will be up and running until Nov. 3. With a grin on his face, McLeod happily walked through the aging laundry building where the game takes place and shared details on each room’s puzzles and the secrets behind how various mechanisms will work. “The whole idea is to freak people out,” he said. For the past seven years the Mcleods have held interactive theatre productions and heritage tours on the property, telling stories from Tranquille’s 150-year past, which includes years as a farm and institution for the mentally ill. “Every year, we pick something that is from our history,” Anette said. Through the new escape room experience, the McLeods will utilize more recent history of the property as a failed resort community. Dubbed Escape from Padova, the escape

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Tim McLeod ventures down to the basement of the former Tranquille sanatorium’s laundry room where his escape room game will take place.

room tells the real-life story of an Italian immigrant who bought the property in the 1990s intent on developing it in the likeness of the northern Italian city of Padova. McLeod said they chose Padova to attract millennials who refer to the place by that name. The rest of the story blends in elements of fiction in the vein of The Da Vinci Code. Participants will find themselves locked behind an entrance to the tunnels built under the deserted facility with little light and strange symbols and machinery that will fill the chambers beyond. The rooms will be dressed up as the laundry facility they once existed as, McLeod said. He’s encouraging people to wear their best attire from the 1990s, which is the time the story is set. Escape From Padova is also billed as Canada’s only tunnel-escape room setup and will incorporate eight spaces in the former laundry building of the property.

The project was created with a few silent partners who design these types of games, McLeod said. Groups of no fewer than 20 will need to solve the puzzles in one hour to gain access to a tunnel leading to freedom from Padova. Losers will have their picture on the wall of shame. Typical escape rooms host four to six people, McLeod said. “Escape rooms are something that people are really enjoying and we looked at combining the escape room with the theatre or the story being told in more than one way,” Anette said. Actors from Chimera Theatre will help guide escape room participants and host this year’s tunnel theatre production Padova: The Untold Story, which also focuses on the history of Padova City in the old cafeteria. While the tunnel-theatre show won’t be required viewing before taking on the escape room, it will provide some helpful

background for those looking to beat the clock. The escape room was slated to open Aug. 31, but the creators want to conduct a few more trial runs to ensure the game isn’t too easy or difficult. The game will be operational three days a week with three shows per night. Tickets have already been selling out and McLeod said there have been many businesses who want to book the escape room for staff training. “I think it’s going to be a fun and unusual story,” Anette said. While Tranquille Farm Fresh continues to find ways to tell the history of Tranquille in the short-term, the long-term goal is to generate interest and have people build houses on the picturesque piece of land. The property is owned by Tranquille Ltd. Partnership, for which McLeod is the development manager. He said they are continuing to look for partners to invest in the property.

Koyczan goes it alone in tour following grandmother’s death he said, explaining his shows tend to often be biographical but also influenced by “the current political environment, the gravity of the world.” And by his grandmother, who raised him when his parents left and who he has said has always been the most important person in his life. Last year, as he was about to embark on a fourmonth tour and not wanting her to be alone, he went to an animal shelter and adopted Tig, a big orange cat to keep her company while he was on the road. He has no favourites among the massive repertoire of works he has created. “They’re all artifacts of my growth,” Koyczan said. “Some people have charts posted on a wall that you can use to show your growth, but you can do that with your writing, too.”

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen Shane Koyczan takes the stage in Kamloops next month, he’s not sure how the show will proceed. The renowned poet and spoken-word performer is still processing the death of his grandmother, who raised him and with whom he had continued to live even after the world discovered him with his Vancouver Olympic Games appearance when he delivered We Are More. “People can function pretty well when you have at least one tether in your life,” he said, “but when you lose that … you become part of a weird club when you lose a parent. It gives you new perspective. “You lose the person who taught you the simple things — tying your shoes, how to make your bed — I’m dealing with a lot of stuff around that.” The Sept. 23 show at Sagebrush Theatre will likely be fuelled by “the emotional mix of things going on in my life now,”

He acknowledged How To Be A Person is one he likes, adding

that people sometimes “forget how to do that, so it’s sort of like an instructional manual.” Koyczan first drew attention in 2000 when he won the National Poetry Slam, a performance-poetry competition that draws entrants from the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia. He was the first Canadian to take the top prize. Partnering with American slam poet Mike McGee and Canadian C.R. Avery in 2003, they created Tons of Fun University, which they described as a talk-rock trio. In 2007, his We Are More poem was debuted during Canada Day festivities in Ottawa and, three years later, he adapted it for the Olympics. His resume also includes an animated video of his poem To This Day,

which was released at a TED Conference. The topic of bullying resonated and the YouTube video went viral, with more than 20 million views. More recently, Koyczan was the subject of a documentary, Shut Up and Say Something, that chronicled his life but also his reconciliation with his estranged father. He has often been supported by his band The Short Story Long but it’s a solo tour for Koyczan this time. “I’m writing a ton about my grandmother right now,” he said. “It’s hard. Poetry is a roadway for who you are as a person and, even when I’m crafting a show, if I’m going to take the audience down a pathway that’s dark, I have to remember to build in a route to take them back again to a place where they feel safe.” Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. show are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, and online at kamloopslive.ca. Tickets are $41.19 plus taxes and service charges.

Orange Shirt Day originator to tell her story through children’s book pened, and eventually returning to home on the reserve,” she said. Webstad’s history with residential schools is a multi-generational one. Not only did she attend a residential school, her grandmother and mother each attended for 10 years, as well as each of her grandmother’s 10 children, who attended at some point. Webstad said her goal with the children’s book is to convey empathy to its readers and to provide some history of Canada. “It’s not just First Nation history. It’s Canadian history,” she said. Her experience at the school invoked “peeing-your-pants terror” she said, and she remembers the feeling of her realization that, as a six-year-old, she wouldn’t get to go home.

ince 2013, Phyllis Webstad has shared the story of her orange shirt on Sept. 30 as part of Orange Shirt Day, which recognizes the harm residential schools did to Indigenous children in Canada. But this year, the day lands on a Sunday and will be at the end of a month-long tour spent promoting her new book, The Orange Shirt Story — so Webstad said she’ll be at home doing laundry. The book tells the story of when she was six years old and sent to St. Joseph Mission residential school in Williams Lake, where she spent a year — or as she tells kids, 300 sleeps — in 1973-1974. “It’s the story of being there, what it felt like and what hap-

dential school, she encountered it later at age 11 by someone who had attended. “Orange Shirt Day is a conversation starter,” she told KTW. “There’s always a place and time for those kinds of conversations.” Webstad said she hopes the book ends up in classrooms, from Kindergarten to Grade 12, across the country — although its recommended ages are for those in Grade 2 and up. To make the book happen, Webstad initially pitched her story to publishers but only had an outline and mock-up of the illustrations. Most publishers shied away because they wanted a manuscript, but Webstad said one even tried to steer her away from the topic of residential schools altogether. “One publisher that I was seri-

ously considering even told me that the residential school was an adult topic that I need not be traumatizing children with, and that I should consider writing it from the viewpoint of a child scared to go to camp,” she said. “That ended that conversation. There was no way I was going to do that.” But when she was finally connected with Teddy Anderson, things started to come together. Anderson is the founder of Medicine Wheel Education, a publishing company that has helped other Indigenous authors turn oral stories into written ones. Webstad said Anderson’s pitch to help out sounded ideal, but it was too expensive. Anderson said he didn’t want any money. “He understood completely what I needed,” she said.

Webstad worked with Anderson and the team of editors and illustrators he helped assemble to come up with the script and illustrations for the book. The Orange Shirt Story also contains a primer on residential schools and the history of the Secwepemc. “That was important to me.

Attacks on journalists rooted leaders’ rhetoric

Trump’s attacks against the press can foster violence

n June 29 of this year, Jarrod Ramos walked into the newsroom of the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, and opened fire. Five journalists were killed. Ramos had a five-year grudge against the paper due to an article criticizing him in 2011, but neither the editor nor the writer of the article were employed at the paper at the time of the shooting. It’s like something you’d see in a Third World country or one with a repressive government. But this happened in the United States. Attacks on journalists in North America rarely get this violent, but it is part of a rising trend of verbal and physical attacks on writers and broadcasters. U.S. President Donald Trump has called journalists “enemies of the people.” With the influence that comes with being leader of the United States, his words hold power, and his followers have taken those words and turned it into a deadly weapon. There are examples. A Trump supporter threatened to shoot CNN reporters Brian Stelter and Don Lemon live on CSPAN. Manisha Sinha, a professor of American History at the University of Connecticut, was

left a message saying that someone was coming to her house to kill her after she conducted an interview on CNN critical of Trump. These aren’t random threats from unstable people. Rather, these examples are just two of scores of reports of threats against journalists. These are a deliberate attack on journalism and truth itself. Another attack on truth is cropping up, too. Conspiracystyle thinking has already taken root in many Trump supporters. Trump himself touted the theory that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. A North Carolina man drove to the restaurant at the core of the so-called Pizzagate conspiracy armed and ready to kill. Trump supporters have showed up at rallies with QAnon t-shirts, a conspiracy about an informant deep inside the U.S. government leaking information in vague online posts. All of these theories persist despite being debunked. Journalists don’t go out of their way to spread misinformation. It is the job of journalists to hold those in power accountable. Criticism of journalists is healthy and should be done, but taking that criticism to the point of threats and violence is dangerous and puts the entire idea

of what is true in question. Compounding these issues is the problem of gun control in the States. With that, you then have the potential for deadly violence against working journalists who are only trying to keep the public informed. It’s a tyrant that attempts to suppress the freedom of the press. We’ve seen journalists murdered in Mexico, Russia, Venezuela, Turkey and Myanmar, among others, in the past year — journalists that were pursuing the truth. We are in danger of becoming one of those “other countries” where “these sorts of things” happen regularly. Steve Marlow is the program co-ordinator at CFBX, an independent radio station in Kamloops.

CRTC reverses decision to slash Canadian programming requirements CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission is reversing a ruling that would have decreased the amount private-sector television groups are required to spend on Canadian programming. In the English-language market, the reversal means Bell Media must now spend 7.5 per cent of their previous year’s revenues on Canadian programming, Corus Entertainment Inc. must spend 8.5 per cent and Rogers Communications Inc. must spend five per cent.

Those broadcasters previously would have been allowed to spend as little as five per cent of revenues on such programming. In the French-language market, the CRTC will require private-sector television groups to invest 75 per cent of their original programming expenditures in original content, up from 50 per cent in the prior ruling. French-language groups will have a year to adjust to the change. Groups in both the English and French market will also be required to allocate an average of $5.5 million a year to support the production of musical programs.

Netflix knocked over seizure character CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Canadian Epilepsy Alliance is taking issue with the recently released Netflix film The After Party over its portrayal of people who experience seizures. The film’s main character is an aspiring rapper who goes viral on social media after he has a seizure during a performance. He’s nicknamed “Seizure Boy” and the other characters make fun of him. “The portrayal of seizures in this film is inaccurate and portrays those living with seizures in a negative way,’’ said Deirdre Floyd, president of the advocacy organization for people with the neurological disorder. Any depiction in a film that mocks a seizure disorder or makes all seizures look the same sets back the work of the alliance to provide correct information about epilepsy, she said. The group’s mission is to educate the public about the various types of seizures and the appropriate first aid for each of them, said Floyd, who has sent a letter to California-based Netflix, saying the portrayal of epilepsy in the film causes damage to those with seizures who “try to lead as normal a life as possible every day.’’ “Individuals that have epilepsy often suffer from low self-esteem

because they have been mocked in school, [the] workplace, as well as in social settings,’’ she writes to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings. “Quite often, the attitude of others around them causes more harm than the actual seizure.’’ The biggest concern is that the film sends the message that “it’s OK to potentially bully people or make fun of them, not taking into account that it’s a medical condition,’’ she said Thursday from Halifax. Netflix representatives could not be immediately reached for comment. Floyd suggested Netflix should put a warning at the beginning of the film’s trailer that some viewers may find the content offensive, or make a contribution to her organization to help it spread the correct information about epilepsy, which affects an estimated 260,000 Canadians and 50 million people worldwide. The U.S. Epilepsy Foundation has also written to Netflix expressing concerns about the film. The After Party, which was released last week, stars Kyle Harvey and Harrison Holzer, and features musicians Wiz Khalifa, French Montana and DJ Khaled. In Netflix publicity materials, director Ian Edelman described it as a movie about having the confidence to chase a dream, even when there is pressure to give up.

Louis C.K. performs after admitting sexual misconduct CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — Comedian Louis C.K. has returned to the stage for apparently the first time after he admitted to engaging in sexual misconduct. He made an unannounced appearance Sunday night at the Comedy Cellar in New York City's Greenwich Village. The club's owner, Noam Dworman, told the New York Times he watched a video of the appearance. He says the 50-year-old was

“very relaxed” and was greeted by an ovation from the audience. He says he performed “typical Louis C.K. stuff.” Five women last November accused the comedian of inappropriate behaviour. He released a statement in which he said the stories were true and he expressed remorse for his actions. The actions resulted in the end of a production deal with FX Networks and the cancellation of a movie release.

arts&entertainment Esports execs say don't blame the games, blame U.S. gun laws JOHN PYE

ASSOCIATED PRESS

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Esports organizers say don't blame the games. Executives at the Asian Games have expressed sympathy for the victims of the deadly shooting at a video game tournament in a Florida shopping mall. But Kenneth Fok, president of the Asian Electronic Sports Federation, said the shooting was more a reflection of U.S. gun laws than the gaming community. U.S. authorities say 24-yearold David Katz of Baltimore killed two people and wounded nine others before fatally shooting himself Sunday at a Madden tournament being held at a riverfront mall in Jacksonville. “Of course tragedies like this should never happen. One is already too many,” Fok told a news conference Wednesday about the introduction of esports at the Asian Games. “But I think this is a bigger issue of gun control and access to guns. “This very unfortunate inci-

dent happened in a video game arena, but does this mean that it's esports or video games to blame? I don't believe so. It's not esports that caused this. We're really saddened to see this take place.” While several U.S.-based esports organizers have called for better security at events since Sunday's shooting, Indian Gaming League founder and AESF vice-president Lokesh Suji said problems such as the shooting in Florida hadn't occurred in Asia, where the vast bulk of esports and gaming is focused. “Tell me about one incident where this has happened in Asia,” said Suji, adding that drawing comparisons between gaming and violence “is the wrong perspective. “We've never had this in this part of the world. Why are things happening in the U.S.?” Suji said. “It's very sad. Every time something like this happens in the U.S., people start blaming the video games. The bigger picture, the bigger problem is gun control.” Esports made its competitive

debut this week as a demonstration sport at the Asian Games, which has attracted more than 11,000 athletes in 40 sports. The arena was packed for the esports debut and the reception was good, leading organizers to be positive about being considered as a medal sport for the next Asian Games in China in 2022 and ultimately at the Olympics. Fok said the gaming community and the burgeoning industry was paying attention to concerns such as addiction and believes those can be addressed by education and regulation as competitive gaming edges further into the mainstream. “It is a high-stress environment. We have to protect athletes as well,” Fok said. “As we grow, we have to look at the overall well-being of all our athletes.” Mike Morhaime, the CEO of Blizzard Entertainment, an American video games developer, told a recent International Olympic Committee forum that esports has two billion people worldwide playing electronic games, with 380 million watching esports.

Kanye West apologizes for saying slavery was ‘a choice’ CANADIAN PRESS

Kanye West apologized Wednesday on a Chicago radio station for calling slavery a “choice,” and he broke down on air over an old friend. “I don't know if I properly apologized for how that slave comment made people feel, so I want to take this moment right now to say that I'm sorry for hurting, I'm sorry for the onetwo effect of the MAGA hat into the slave comment,” West told 107.5 WGCI radio in his hometown. “And I'm sorry for people who felt let down by that moment and also I appreciate you guys giving me the opportunity to talk to you about the way I was thinking and what I was going through and what led me to that,” he said.

West also addressed a question that left him speechless on Jimmy Kimmel Live! about why he feels President Donald Trump cares about black people. He later tweeted he wasn't stumped by the question and didn't appreciate much how the show cut awkwardly to a commercial break after his extralong pause. He said he was just carefully considering his answer: “I feel that [Trump] cares about the way black people feel about him, and he would like for black people to like him like they did when he was cool in the rap songs and all this,” West told WGCI. “He will do the things that are necessary to make that happen because he's got an ego like all the rest of us, and he wants to be the greatest president, and

Meet Taylor

he knows that he can't be the greatest president without the acceptance of the black community,” the rapper added. “So it's something he's gonna work towards, but we're gonna have to speak to him.” As for the field trip to the Los Angeles offices of TMZ in May, when he wore the “Make America Great Again” red cap favoured by Trump supporters and made the slavery remark, West said friend Don C — a former collaborator, tour manager and record exec — used to “have my back” and likely would have shut him down before things got out of hand. “One thing that I got from the TMZ comment is that it showed me how much black people love me, and how much black people count on me and depend on me, and I appreciate that,” West said.

Canadian film is at an ‘exciting time,’ say Toronto Film Fest’s rising stars VICTORIA AHEARN

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Rising Stars of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival say they’re coming up at an exciting time in Canadian cinema. Where homegrown actors once had to move to the U.S. in order to gain fame, they feel they can now carve out a successful career on this side of the border while still exploring opportunities elsewhere. “I think it’s a great place to grow a resume, as a young actor, just because there are tons of productions all over the world that come film here,’’ said Jess Salgueiro, who grew up in Winnipeg and can be seen at this year’s festival in the Canadian film Mouthpiece. “Traditionally, we’ve thought that English-speaking Canada doesn’t take a lot of risks in their filmmaking, but it’s starting to shift, which is a really exciting time for us. I feel like we couldn’t be in a better place, really. To be a female actress in Canada at this time is so exciting to me.’’ Salgueiro is among four of the

Rising Stars at this year’s festival, which runs Sept. 6 to 16. The program has helped launch the careers of several big names, including Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany and Sarah Gadon of Alias Grace. This year’s other Rising Stars are Devery Jacobs, Lamar Johnson, and Michaela Kurimsky. “Just being here is a fantastic incubator,’’ said Kurimsky, who was born in Mississauga, Ont., and can be seen at this year’s festival in the homegrown drama Firecrackers. There are a lot of opportunities out here for young actors and there are a lot of films that film out here in Toronto that give everybody opportunities to grow,” adds Johnson, who was born in Toronto and is in The Hate U Give at this year’s fest. While there’s still a bigger star system in the U.S., being in Canada feels more communal, said Jacobs, who was born in Kahnawake Mohawk territory in Quebec. “You recognize familiar faces and there’s just something about

staying sane when you’re in Toronto versus L.A., where you just feel like you’re floating around a million other people who look exactly the same way as you trying to do the same exact thing,’’ said Jacobs, who was at TIFF in 2013 in Rhymes for Young Ghouls. “But, there is something special that’s happening here, with Toronto being such a diverse city. And it’s my traditional territory ... so there is something to be said about staying put and trying to build a career here.’’ Sci-fi series Orphan Black, the Emmy-nominated dystopian drama The Handmaid’s Tale and the Oscar-winning merman romance The Shape of Water are among recent projects shot in Toronto that went on to huge success. Producer Ari Lantos points to a “next wave of Canadian filmmakers,” including Akash Sherman, director of the Toronto-shot sci-fi drama Clara that’s at this year’s festival. Lantos produced Clara, which stars Toronto actor Patrick J. Adams of Suits fame as an

astronomer and Troian Bellisario as an artist who helps him with research. “We’re seeing a lot of commercial sensibilities and branching out of the typical Canadian comfort zone that we’ve been in for a long time, and our film is a shining example of that — trying to explore something scientific in a commercial way but with some romance,’’ Lantos said. “It’s meant to make people entertained and I think we’re seeing a lot of that with the next wave of filmmakers that are coming, that just want to entertain. And a lot of them are very talented and doing a good job at it.’’ Writer-director Keith Behrman, who is at the festival this year with Giant Little Ones, said he thinks Canadian film is getting more expansive as the world becomes more expansive. “As we’re internationally exploring more ideas and there are more things that are being questioned and explored, I think Canadian filmmakers are embracing that and exploring who we are as human beings and as a country.”

New documentary tells stories of real life people behind Come From Away CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Stories from the people who opened their arms to strangers in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks are being told in a new documentary. Bell Media says it will premiere the HBO Canada production You Are Here: A Come From Away Story on Sept. 11, marking the 17th anniversary of the attacks. The film takes a closer look at the hospitality shown by citizens of Gander, N.L., to thousands of passengers and crew members stranded when U.S. airspace was closed. The experiences inspired the Come From Away musical, co-created by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. You Are Here: A Come From Away Story steps further into the lives of a select group of residents, including a couple who met during the incident, later married and spent their honeymoon in Gander. The documentary also interviewed community workers, police officers, local reporters and passengers who became part of the local history.

No. 1 goaltender spot is Ferguson’s to lose But veteran netminder who made NHL debut last year has sights set on time in crease for AHL’s Chicago Wolves MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

KTW will look ahead to the 2018-2019 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign in a series that started last week. Stories will run each Friday until Sept. 21, when the local WHL club opens its season against the Kelowna Rockets at Sandman Centre. This week, we take a look in the crease, where Dylan Ferguson is hoping to crack the roster of a pro club. Each story in the five-part series will be posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

ylan Ferguson woke up to about 1,000 new Instagram followers on Nov. 15, the day after after making his improbable NHL debut for the Vegas Golden Knights. Most Kamloops Blazers fans know the story by now. A string of injuries forced the Knights to call up their fifth-string netminder, 19-year-old Ferguson, who was thrown into action against the Oilers in Edmonton on Nov. 14, when fourth-string goalie Maxime Lagace left the game with 9:14 remaining in the third period. The Lantzville product enjoyed a taste of life in the NHL and the money that comes along with it, about $63,000 (base salary divided by number of days in season multiplied by days on active roster) for what amounted to about $7,000 per minute played in the The Show. Ferguson enters his 20-yearold campaign prepared to ride buses across Western Canada, but remains focused on pushing his way into pro hockey, mentioning in an interview with KTW his desire to play this season for the Chicago Wolves, the Knights’ AHL affiliate. Vegas has a logjam of capable goaltenders that grew when it signed 23-year-old Zach Fucale on July 1. Should Ferguson return to Kamloops, he will be the No. 1 guy. Ferguson has a greater knowledge of hockey business than most players his age and will be aware of his trade value, especially if the Blazers snare the 2020 Memorial Cup.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Blazers’ goalie Dylan Ferguson will leave for the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights’ training camp next week. “I’m here to work with Dan [Blazers’ goalie coach Dan De Palma] and tune up for that camp,” he said. “I’m going there to make a team.”

ALSO INSIDE Kamloops is one of three WHL cities left in the running to host the 2020 Memorial Cup / A33

Instead of looking at the whatifs — one of which is playing fulltime for the Blazers throughout the 2018-2019 campaign — the confident goaltender is focusing

on getting better every day. “I’m here now and I’ve got to focus on being here,” said Ferguson, noting he toiled hard at Prime Sport Performance in Nanaimo in the off-season to stay in shape. Ferguson will head to Golden Knights’ development camp next week. “I’m here to work with Dan [Blazers’ goalie coach Dan De

Palma] and tune up for that camp,” Ferguson said. “I’m going there to make a team.” Three backstops came to Blazers’ training camp this month looking to make a major-junior team — 18-year-old Max Palaga, 17-year-old Rayce Ramsay and 16-year-old Dylan Garand. Palaga, from Kamloops, won a job at training camp last season, edging Kyle Dumba to become the

Blazers’ backup netminder. He played in 17 games in 2017-2018, posting a .875 save percentage and 3.71 goals-against average. “This is a pretty important year for me,” Palaga said. “The most important thing is not to worry about anyone else. My confidence is where I want it to be. Just play my game. There’s no reason to make drastic changes. Just be myself.” Palaga trained in the off-season on the Coast with established goalie coach Eli Wilson. He also worked with junior A Coquitlam Express goaltending coach Matt Korchmar and local netminding coach Lucas Gore. Meanwhile, Victoria product Garand was training six times a week and earned an invite to Hockey Canada’s under-17 development camp in Calgary in June. “I expect to be here for sure,” said Garand, noting he enjoyed working in the summer with Maxime Vaillancourt, goaltending coach for the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada.

KTFC thrower Zabihi breaks B.C. hammer record MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Add Kian Zabihi to the list of promising young athletes representing the Kamloops Track and Field Club. Zabihi, 13, set the B.C Athletics Track and Field junior development (13-and-under) record in hammer throw at the Cory Holly Classic throws event in Vernon on Saturday. “Massive result, crushing the record by 10 metres,” said KTFC coach Dylan Armstrong, who won bronze in shot put at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing. Armstrong said the Zabihis moved to Vernon from Maple Ridge about two years ago, but recently decided to relocate to Kamloops so Kian can train with the former Olympian. National records for Zabihi’s age group are not kept officially, but “it’s the farthest throw ever by a Canadian his age, if you look at the provincial records,” Armstrong said. Bazil Spencer of Quesnel began training with Armstrong earlier this year and the 16-year-old high jumper won gold in the under-18

division at the National Legion Track and Field Championships earlier this month in Brandon. Spencer, who has attended Correlieu secondary in Quesnel, told KTW he wants to move to Kamloops this summer in time for his Grade 12 year. “There is way more opportunity to train,” he said. Jacob Taylor is among the best under-18 javelin throwers in Canada. The 17-year-old Okanagan Indian Band member moved to Kamloops from the Armstrong area last September to train at the KTFC and attend Valleyview secondary. “Slowly, over time, you get these kids,” Armstrong said. “That’s been the plan. This stuff takes time.” Zabihi entered the under-16 division at the National Legion event in Brandon and threw the four-kg (8.82-pound) hammer 55.37m. The throw was good for fourth place, impressive for an athlete competing against older athletes. Michael Ogbeiwi, 14, of South Surrey won with a toss of 60.15m. “There could be some big results in the future for him,” Armstrong said.

Garand is the only WHLdrafted goalie pushing for the Blazers’ No. 2 job, selected by former Kamloops GM Stu MacGregor in Round 3 of the 2017 bantam draft. The domino effect from Ferguson’s whirlwind tour of the NHL resulted in Garand’s WHL debut. Garand, then 15, was twice called up to the Blazers in November and played in three games, finishing with a .877 save percentage. He earned his first WHL win against Red Deer on Nov. 10, making 31 saves in a first-star performance. Ramsay, from Saskatoon, was not drafted, but impressed enough at Blazers’ training camp last year to earn a WHL contract with the club. “I don’t really look at anything with labels,” Ramsay said. “I’m just another guy at camp here fighting for a spot. All the other goalies are the same.” Off-season work for Ramsay included training with Blaine Whyte of Pro Sport Rehab and

TORONTO — The Calgary Stampeders are tops in the West Division, and a majority of media from across the country not only believe they’ll stay there but will cap their season celebrating a Grey Cup championship in Edmonton. The CFL released mid-season results of its inaugural medial poll Wednesday. Voting included Tuesday with 50 individuals participating. All expected Calgary to finish first in the West with 37 picking the Stampeders to capture the Grey Cup. The Edmonton Eskimos and Saskatchewan Roughriders both finished tied for second with five votes apiece. Winnipeg, Hamilton and Ottawa all received one vote each. Calgary has been a Grey Cup finalist the last two years. Ottawa was an overwhelming choice to capture the East Division with 40 votes. Hamilton was next with eight while Toronto and Montreal each received a vote apiece. The majority of respondents selected Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly as the favourite to win

the CFL’s outstanding player award for a second straight year. The league passing leader garnered 35 of 49 votes to finish ahead of Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell (five votes) and CFL rushing leader Andrew Harris of Winnipeg (four votes). Harris is the mid-season choice as the CFL’s top Canadian award for a second straight year. He received 24 of 50 votes to finish ahead of Ottawa receiver Brad Sinopoli (16 votes) and Calgary linebacker Alex Singleton (seven votes). Saskatchewan rush end Charleston Hughes — the CFL sacks leader with 12 — topped two categories. He received 43 of 50 votes as the acquisition to have made the biggest on-field impact this season. The Riders landed Hughes from Hamilton after the Ticats acquired him from Calgary. Hughes also earned 27 votes as the CFL’s top defensive player the first half of the season. B.C. quarterback Travis Lulay was voted the comeback player of the year to this point while the Lions’ Chris Rainey received the most votes — 10 out of 48 — as the league’s most exciting player.

Next week will be one to celebrate children and sport in Kamloops and across British Columbia. The week of Sept. 8 to Sept. 15 is KidSport week across the province. The focus this year is to raise awareness in an effort to help more children cover the cost of registration and equipment. “Kamloops is an amazing community,” Scott Andruschak, chair of KidSport Kamloops, said in a press release. “The financial support we receive from our donors is overwhelming. “Our biggest challenge is spreading the word. Last year, we helped over 200 local kids but we are certain there are more kids we can help. We

just need to let them know that we are here to help.” KidSport provides support to children 18 years of age and younger. Grants provide a maximum of $500 per child per year and are applied to sport registration costs or equipment. KidSport’s stated mission is to remove financial barriers that prevent kids from playing organized sports. The organization has volunteerdriven chapters in 42 B.C. communities and more than 170 across Canada.

Following big win at home, Henderson’s focus on Portland CANADIAN PRESS

PORTLAND, Ore. — It took a while for Brooke Henderson’s win at the CP Women’s Open to sink in. The 20-year-old from Smiths Falls, Ont., made history on Sunday when she became the first Canadian in 45 years to win the national women’s

golf championship. Speaking a day before teeing off at the Cambia Portland Classic — a tournament she has won twice in her young career — Henderson said last week’s win felt like it was “meant to be.’’ “It’s starting to sink in a little bit more now. It’s just incredible,” she said.

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE

Victoria bows out of battle for bid to host 2020 Memorial Cup

Blazers’ co-owner and former Coyote captain grew close to McCain, who died Saturday, during time in Arizona KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops Blazers’ part-owner and recently retired Arizona Coyote Shane Doan was scheduled to serve as a pallbearer at Sen. John McCain’s memorial service. Doan, who retired after the 2016-17 NHL campaign following a 21-season career with the Winnipeg Jets/Arizona Coyotes, was set to be part of the service on Thursday. “Sen. McCain was a shining example of what a modern leader should be,” Doan aid in a statement. “He represented Arizona and the United States with class and dignity and the courage and incredible strength that he demonstrated, in every test a man could face, impacted everyone who simply heard his story. “His love for life was contagious and his passion for his family, state, country and Arizona sports

Our hearts go out to [his wife] Cindy and all the family during this difficult time.’’ Arizona Cardinals’ receiver Larry Fitzgerald was scheduled to will speak during the service in Phoenix, preceding former U.S. vice-president Joe Biden. Former Arizona Diamondbacks’ outfielder Luis Gonzalez was also asked to serve

as a pallbearer at the service. McCain, who died at age 81 on Saturday after battling brain cancer, was an avid sports fan and supporter of Arizona’s teams. He attended countless professional and collegiate games in Arizona for more than two decades. He became friends with many of the athletes in the area, including Doan, Fitzgerald and Gonzalez. Fitzgerald penned a tribute to McCain last Christmas and visited the ailing senator at his Sedona ranch earlier this year.

Victoria will not be hosting the 2020 Memorial Cup, leaving Kamloops in a group of three cities vying to land the tournament. Victoria’s bid committee withdrew its bid this week and is instead refocusing on efforts to bring the marquee junior hockey championship event to Vancouver Island in 2023. Committee chair John Wilson pointed to the potential for community fatigue on the south Island as Victoria plays host (along with Vancouver) to the World Junior Hockey Championship this winter, along with multiple venue upgrades required at Save-OnFoods Memorial Centre. “This is an opportunity to help bring an event of the highest magnitude to Victoria, for the people of Vancouver Island,” Wilson said at the time it was first announced he would be joining the bid committee.

“This community has a rich history in both sport and tourism and we are the perfect landing spot for this tournament. It would truly be an amazing place for hockey fans to gather for 10 days in the heart of spring.” This leaves Kamloops, Kelowna and Lethbridge as the other cities still vying to host the annual tournament made up of the winners of the three member leagues (WHL, OHL, QMJHL) in the Canadian Hockey League. “Our fans and the people of Victoria deserve to host an event that is remembered for a lifetime. In bowing out of the 2020 selection process, we feel that the foundation and momentum that has been created by participating in this bid process has been very valuable,” Victoria Royals’ president and general manager Cameron Hope said. The host city for the 2020 Memorial Cup is expected to be announced in October.

Brodeur returns to Devils in business role

Manziel set to return, but may not start for Alouettes

Netminder won three Stanley Cups with New Jersey CANADIAN PRESS

NEWARK, N.J. — Martin Brodeur is back with the New Jersey Devils organization many hoped he’d never leave. Brodeur rejoined the Devils on Wednesday as executive vice-president of business development, a shift from the hockey management job he held for three years as assistant general manager of the St. Louis Blues. He returns to the franchise he led to the Stanley Cup three times and became the NHL’s all-timeleading goaltender in victories. “It feels fantastic to be back home here in New Jersey,’’ Brodeur said. “This unique opportunity will allow me to build on existing relationships in the business community and take on a new challenge in my career. I’ve been able to work in all facets of the game of hockey and have had a growing interest in the business surrounding the game.’’ The 46-year-old will report to team president Hugh Weber and will work on business opportunities for the Devils, Prudential Center and the community. Brodeur spent 21 of his 22 NHL seasons with New Jersey, lifting the Cup in 1995, 2000 and 2003 and winning the Vezina Trophy four times as the league’s best goalie. He signed with the Blues in December 2014 to continue his playing career and upon retirement moved into

the front office, eventually becoming assistant GM to Doug Armstrong. That combined with Hockey Canada roles in player personnel and management made it look like Brodeur was on track to become an NHL GM someday. This move puts his path in question, though Armstrong doesn’t believe it rules out Brodeur moving back to the hockey side. “We wish Marty nothing but the best as he BRODEUR moves forward,’’ Armstrong said Tuesday when the Blues announced Brodeur’s departure. “When he does want to get back in the management role in hockey, his future will take him wherever he wants to go.’’ No matter the job, Brodeur’s career has taken him back to New Jersey. Brodeur’s No. 30 is retired there, and a statue picturing him with his trademark salute stands outside the Devils’ arena. Even though he won’t have a direct hand in the on-ice product, his homecoming is reason for celebration around the Devils. “Today is a special day for everyone,’’ New Jersey GM Ray Shero said.

MONTREAL — Johnny Manziel is out of concussion protocol, but it looks certain that Antonio Pipkin will start a third straight game at quarterback for the Montreal Alouettes. Pipkin helped Montreal (2-8) end a six game losing run with a win last week over Toronto. Manziel, who was cleared to come off concusMANZIEL sion protocol Tuesday, looks likely to be the back-up when the Alouettes visit the Ottawa Redblacks on Friday night. The 2012 Heisman trophy winner and former Cleveland Brown was acquired July 25 from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in a multi-player trade. He started two games for Montreal, both losses, and took a heavy hit to the head in his second outing. He sat out the last two games.

Clapp named PCL manager of the year CANADIAN PRESS

Canadian Stubby Clapp is once again being recognized for a stellar season as the manager of the triple-A Memphis Redbirds. The Windsor, Ont., native was named Pacific Coast League manager of the year for the second straight season, the league announced Tuesday. Clapp, a former nine-year minor leaguer who also played 23 major league games for St. Louis in 2001, has led the Cardinals’ affiliate to an 80-54 record with six games remaining this season. They were 10 games ahead of Nashville for first

place in their division before Wednesday’s games. The 45-year-old Clapp was named the manager of the Memphis team ahead of the 2017 season and led the Redbirds to a league-best 91-50 record last year. Clapp previously served as the hitting coach for Toronto’s advanced-A affiliate in Dunedin, Fla., and later as the hitting coach of the double-A Fisher Cats in New Hampshire. He was the third base coach for Canada’s gold medal-winning baseball team at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto. Clapp represented Canada at the 2004

PANAMA’S CLOUD FORESTS, ISLANDS AND COFFEE LAUREN KRAMER travelwriterstales.com

f you want the champagne of coffee, the world’s most expensive, there’s just one place to go: Boquete, a small town on the slopes of the Baru Volcano in Panama’s Chiriqui province. Boquete’s Geisha coffee, which sells for a whopping $600 per pound, is coveted by Asia’s high society for its jasmine, flowery taste and relative unavailability. Panama is a small, modest player in the coffee industry, but what it does produce consistently wins the top awards in the world’s coffee competitions. On the Elida Estate Coffee Farm, I joined master coffee taster Lan Laws, following him through steep slopes densely packed with coffee plants. Elida is one of 150 coffee microfarms, many of them started by American expats soon after their work on the Panama Canal was completed in 1914. They ventured up to Chiriqui and, enchanted by the cool mountain air, the densely forested slopes and the towering peaks of Volcan Baru, settled on the slopes and devoted themselves to growing Arabica coffee. Boquete is more recent on the tourist map, its first hotel opening just 18 years ago. Today, the small town of 19,000 still has a strong expat population, especially after 2010, when the American Association of Retired Persons named it a top retirement destination. Its dusty streets and small storefronts selling fresh mangos, rambutan and citrus have also become a hub for adventure travellers coveting whitewater rafting, hiking, ziplines, canopy treks and coffee tours. While my daughters zipped and shrieked through the treetops at adrenaline pumping speeds, I chose a quieter walk across the

hanging bridges, suspended over the rivers and slopes of the Palo Alto mountains. En route, my guide Isabel pointed out 450-year-old mamoncillo trees and some of the 1,100 species of orchid that proliferate in the cloud forest. Thick, lush tropical vegetation surrounded me and the sound of the rushing river filled my ears as a cool breeze cuts the 35 degree Celsius heat of Panama’s rainy season.

“Ten years ago it was much cooler here,” Isabel noted sadly. Global warming is changing everything and we’re losing species as a result of climate change.” We travelled west on the Americana Highway later in the day to join a rafting trip down the Old Chiriqui River, whose whitewater tumbles from the slopes of the volcano, flanked by forests and narrow canyon walls. It’s a fast rollercoaster down class

3-4 rapids that left us breathless, exhilarated and soaking wet. We were sleepy for the next part of our journey, a drive over the continental divide that separates the highlands from the Caribbean coastal port of Almirante, the gateway to the Bocas del Toro archipelago. Prime among Panama’s attractions, Bocas has it all: turquoise waters where dolphins are easily sighted, white-sand beaches with

palm trees leaning at precarious angles and island towns filled with West Indian Caribbean sounds and flavours. It’s a scene straight out of a postcard and one that forces even the most work-addicted travellers to put their phones away and soak up the beauty. We headed straight to Isla Bastimentos, checking into Eclypse de Mar, a small hotel with bungalows suspended on stilts above the sea. From the hammocks on our deck we threw fish food into the water and were soon entertained by a swirl of activity as fish swarm to the surface. A five-minute commute by water taxi took us to Old Town Bastimentos, where we relished meals of plantains and Caribbean fried chicken. At night we were lulled to sleep by the vibe of joyful music that drifts over the Caribbean. There are 130 islands in the Bocas archipelago, which is home to the Isla Bastimentos National Marine Park. As our trip drew to a close we boarded a day-long boat tour to explore the park, careening through islets thick with mangrove trees until we’re rewarded with the sight of a sloth hanging nonchalantly in the crook of a branch. We snorkelled around massive chunks of brain coral at Isla Zapatilla, circle the islands powdersoft beach by foot and bask in the perfect beauty of this Caribbean jewel. A gleaming pod of dolphins cavorted near our boat, it’s the cherry on top of a trip that will live long in memory. Costa Rica is hot on the tourist map but Boquete and Bocas remain quiet spots, relatively undiscovered. For those who venture to Panama’s highlands and Caribbean islands, the rewards are plenty.

anted: 277,000 construction workers by 2027. According to BuildForce Canada, which monitors trends in the construction sector and provides labour market intelligence to industry, as many as 277,000 new construction workers will be needed this decade alone to meet labour requirements and counter rising retirement rates. BuildForce recommends stepping up recruitment efforts aimed at new Canadians, women and Indigenous workers to help manage the shortage. “Labour Day and the start of September is a perfect time for young people to start thinking about career options,” said Tom Sigurdson, executive director of the BC Building Trades. “A career in the skilled trades is well-paid and in demand.” But all trades are not the same. From electrician to carpenter to plumber to insulator to heavy equipment operator, there are options for every interest and aptitude. The skilled trades shortage also means there will be no shortage of work in the coming years. In fact, two upcoming public infrastructure projects — the Pattullo Bridge replacement and the widening of Highway 1 between Kamloops and the Alberta borer — will mean hundreds of jobs. These projects will be completed under the provincial government’s new community benefits framework, which sets a goal of 25 per cent apprentices on the projects. “That means a significant number of workers who are new to the trades will have an opportunity to build their province, and the skills they learn will help secure their future in the industry long after the ribbon has been cut marking the completion of each project,” Sigurdson said.

LABOUR DAY www.bcnu.org A MESSAGE FROM

CHRISTINE SORENSEN AND BC's NURSES This is a time to recognize the vital work of our 48,000 professional nurses.

Labour Day picnic at the park The annual Labour Day picnic will be held on Monday, Sept. 3, at McDonald Park, 501 McDonald Ave., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will include music by Sabrina Weeks and Mike Hilliard, free activities for children, face painting, a bouncy castle, giveaways and labour and community displays. The local branch of the SPCA will have a booth to collect donations for its new building and the local International Brotherhood

of Electrical Workers will be selling hotdogs and smokies to raise money for the Kamloops Food Bank. Fair Vote Kamloops will be present to talk about proportional representation at the provincial Legislature. Theme of the picnic is to promote voting yes in the upcoming proportional representation referendum. The picnic is organized by the Kamloops and District Labour Council.

This Labour Day let's value BC's workers and commit to safe workplaces, for nurses and all workers.

Fairness. Training. Safety. It’s B.C.’s Time of Opportunity.

SOLIDARITY

When we work together, we can achieve great things.

For more than a century, the union presence in B.C. has improved the lives of all working people. The new province-wide Community Beneﬁts Agreement continues this tradition. All workers on key public-sector construction projects will get fair wages, fair treatment and a high standard of workplace safety. Local hiring will mean good jobs for women, Indigenous people and apprentices, leaving a legacy of skills and practical experience. On Labour Day 2018 we pay tribute to those who built B.C.’s labour movement as a force for positive change, and we look forward to a time of opportunity for all. Join us.

ost of us dream. We have

weird dreams, unsettling dreams, scary dreams, erotic dreams, violent dreams and dreams that seem really important when we’re having them, but can’t remember when we wake up. Carl Jung, a contemporary of Sigmund Freud, is considered the foremost theorist of dream theory and his ideas still influence psychoanalysis today. Jung believed the purpose of dreams is to integrate our subconscious self with our conscious self, a process he called individuation. He believed dreams operated on the symbolic level and certain archetypes, such as a dream of one’s mother could have significance for the dreamer’s waking life. When I worked as

a therapist, people would often ask me what certain dreams meant. Most of the time, they really were just a dream and had nothing to do with the client’s situation. But if the dream was a recurring one, I paid a lot of attention to it. Dreams a person has repeatedly may indicate an attempt by the subconscious to urge the conscious to deal with a suppressed matter. Dreams play a significant role in the Bible. They were often a means for

God to deliver an urgent message to the dreamer. Joseph, the stepfather of Jesus, had three dreams recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. The first was just after Mary informed him she was pregnant. He decided he wouldn’t publicly shame Mary and just divorce her quietly. But an angel came to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. “She will give birth to a son and you are to give him the name Jesus [meaning the Lord saves] because he will save his people from their sins … “When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him …” After the Magi left Bethlehem (secretly, also warned in a

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Mary Bruce (née) Hufnagel

Arlene Angeline McGillivray (née Maida)

September 3, 1926 - August 21, 2018

May 22, 1943 – August 21, 2018

Mary passed away peacefully with her son Nick by her side in the early morning hours of Tuesday, August 21, 2018 in Kamloops, BC. The family is comforted she is reunited with the love of her life Rod and her children that passed before her.

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother on August 21, 2018. Arlene passed away at home surrounded by her family after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. She was predeceased by her parents Angelo and Julia Maida and her sister Loretta Maida. She leaves to mourn her husband of 55 years Lorne McGillivray, son Scott McGillivray, daughter and son-in-law Lori and Dean Clutterbuck and grandsons Damon and Brodie Clutterbuck.

Mary is survived by her daughter Marilyn (Harold) Oliver and her son Nick (Gabriele) Esser, grandchildren Cheri-Lee, Jacqueline (Jason), Tracy (J.B.), Angela, Ben (Kathy), Emma (David), Craig (Jules) and Tyler (Karis); nine great-grandchildren and one greatgreat-grandchild. Also left to mourn are her sister Annie and brother-in-law Joe, sisters-in-law Jan, Annie and Maxine as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. Mary was predeceased by her husband Rod, her sons Ernie, Frank and Johnny and most recently by her daughter Kitty. She was also predeceased by her infant granddaughter Sandra, her brothers John, Frank and Carl and her first husband Wayne Esser, father of her children. Mary worked in the restaurant industry for many years. She and Rod built the Waymark Restaurant in Heffley Creek, they also operated many other restaurants in Kamloops including Sleepy’s Hollow and finally Bruce’s Restaurant on 12th Street before Rod’s untimely passing. Mary moved in with her son Nick and his family shortly after Rod passed and lived there with her cats until recently when the decision was made to move her to the Gemstone. Moving away from her cats Mitsy and Rufus was difficult but the Gemstone made it possible for Nick to bring her beloved cats to visit her on a regular basis, which always brightened her day. The family would like to extend its thanks to the staff at the Gemstone Copper Ward, who took such wonderful care of our mother and grandmother. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Mary’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Kamloops SPCA. A Celebration of Mary’s Life will be held on Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 2:00 pm at the Free Methodist Church, 975 Windbreak Street, Kamloops. Mary’s dear friend Pastor Vern Frudd will officiate. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Q. Am I more likely to die in September or December?

Arlene was born in Trail and raised in Christina Lake. After attending Trail Business College she worked briefly in Kimberley where she met her future husband. After marriage they lived and worked in Edmonton before returning to BC in 1967. They spent three years in Port Alberni and then moved to Kamloops where they lived for 25 years where Arlene worked as a library aide for the school district. They relocated to Christina Lake upon retiring in 1996 and have resided there ever since.

A. It amazes me to hear ‘experts’ talk about the rash of deaths in January, or any other month for that matter. Fact is, every month claims almost an equal share. Pardon the expression, but unlike the graph for Marriages (which shows a spike in June, July and August) the graph on Death from month to month is, well, flat.

Arlene was a generous, caring and sincere person. She loved to cook and entertain and her outgoing personality and friendliness drew people to her. She was fun-loving and enjoyed dancing, travel and shopping. It wasn’t the purchase that attracted her but rather the seeking and finding. !

Our heartfelt thanks to all of the friends, family, medical and palliative home care services who provided care and support during her illness. A Celebration of Arlene’s Life will be held on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at 2:00 pm at the Christina Lake Community Hall.

Tom was a strong and honourable husband, father and grandfather who has passed on his admirable strength and determination to his family. He was a gentleman who embraced life at its fullest, worked hard at everything he did and loved to challenge those around him to make them the best they could be. He travelled the world with his wife Iris and together they would laugh, sing and look after each other, always. Even now, Tom’s strength and love can be felt in all our hearts. Tom’s generosity and love for family will forever live on through his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The Rex family would like to thank the incredible staff at Royal Inland Hospital, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice and Dr. Victor De Kock for their compassion and support while caring for our beloved Tom.
