The City of Kamloops doesn’t yet know how the Cascades Casino strike will impact its bottom line, but if last year is any indication, it stands to lose a half-million dollars by the end of the month. Provincial data indicates that from July 1 to Sept. 30 of last year, the city received $502,000 from revenues at Cascades, as part of a provincial revenuesharing deal that gives B.C. municipalities 10 per cent of gambling revenues from facilities within their jurisdictions. In Kamloops, that also includes Chances Gaming Centre, though that facility netted significantly less for the city than Cascades during the same quarter of last year, at $43,000. The same quarter in recent years netted the city from Cascades/Lake City Casino: $522,000 (2016), $509,000 (2015) and $452,000 (2014). More than 200 workers have been rotating on the picket line

at the Aberdeen casino since June 29, with wages the issue. While Cascades remains open for business, the parking lot has not been full. City of Kamloops corporate services director Kathy Humphrey said the city is waiting for the quarterly numbers, which will soon be released by the BC Lottery Corporation. She noted unknown factors include increased traffic at Chances and a potential bounce-back effect that could result should the strike be resolved. “The thing is, we don’t know,” she said. The province will release more information after the quarter wraps up at the end of the month. Humphrey said any loss in revenue won’t affect the city in the immediate future. The city doesn’t roll the dice when it comes to gambling money. Gambling funds are used for one-off community enhancements, such as topping off capital projects for beautification. Humphrey said the city can’t

rely on gambling funds to pay staff salaries or maintain roads because the revenue may not be consistent. “Purposefully, gaming has always been a nice-to-have pot,” Humphrey said. B.C. municipalities have received $52.7 million in gambling revenues through the first six months of 2018. In 2017, Cascades operations netted the city a total of $1.88 million. By comparison, Chances revenue led to $708,000 going to city hall. In the first six months of 2018, Cascades operations led to $985,000 being deposited with the city. Meanwhile, the strike continues following four days of talks between casino owner Gateway Casinos and the B.C. Government Employees’ Union. Gateway said there was no progress made, noting the two sides are too far apart on wage issues. Employees at four Gatewayowned casinos in Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton are on picket lines.

STAFF REPORTER

A mother and her seven-year-old child were two of three people injured Tuesday morning in a rear-end collision while waiting to turn into Westmount elementary school. Emergency crews were called to the school, at Walkem Road and Westsyde Road, at about 8:20 a.m. for a report of a crash. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said an SUV was waiting to turn left onto Walkem Road when it was struck from behind by a pickup truck. “In that SUV was a mom and three kids,” Shelkie said. “The mom and one of the kids, seven years old, went to Royal Inland Hospital with minor injuries to be checked out. The

female driver of the pickup also has minor injuries.” The intersection

where the collision occurred was recently upgraded by the city in an attempt to help

alleviate congestion as parents drop off and pick up their kids at the school. Last school year, it was the subject of multiple complaints. Shelkie said it’s too early to determine what caused Tuesday’s crash. “Right now, it’s undetermined whether the pickup driver is at fault,” she said. “The investigation is ongoing.” According to Shelkie, the incident should serve as a reminder to drivers to exercise caution around schools. “There’s extra traffic right now before school and after school,” she said. “At every intersection, especially around schools, drivers should be aware of vehicles and pedestrians.”

Leak leads to brief closure of gym at Westsyde Pool JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The gym at the Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre was closed on Monday due to a roof leak, but it was expected to be patched by the end of Tuesday, after KTW press deadline. “It’s not a big leak, but it’s something we want to address,” City of Kamloops civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said. Last summer, the city wrapped up a two-year, $3-million reconstruction of the facility, including replacing the pool roof, which had rotted from the inside out due to moisture. Putnam said the section of roof leaking above the gym was not included in that project — it is separate, but attached to the pool building — noting the aging infrastructure is slated to be redone in a second phase at a date to be determined. “I would expect that it will be done eventually,” Putnam said.

“Right now, I’m working with the capital projects team to identify when that might be. But again, it’s two separate issues.” The pool remains open, but the gym was closed on Monday, with the suspected cause being an issue with a roof scupper. Roof scuppers allow water to drain off the building, which has a flat roof. A roof contractor is now on site, working to fix the problem. Putnam expects it to cost about $5,000. “We expect to have it all patched up by the end of the day [Tuesday], so it doesn’t sound like it’s a serious issue,” he said. Putnam said the roof is in its “mid-life,” noting the issue arose about a week ago when the city experienced significant rainfall. A roof contractor was brought in and the city thought the issue had been resolved. It rained again on Sunday night and the city was forced to shut down the gym on Monday morning.

SD73 wants details on funding change MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Answers are still being sought as to how the local school district will be impacted by the provincial government’s decision to redirect funding from two longstanding community organizations beginning next February. The Ministry of Child and Family Development plans to move the funding it supplies to Make Children First and Success by Six in Kamloops to new in-house programming, according to a letter outlining School District 73’s concerns with the move. “We like the status quo, but before you can judge if it’s bad or not, we need to know what it is,” SD73 board chair Meghan Wade told KTW. Make Children First and Success by Six fund the salaries of program co-ordinators and the district wants to know how the change will impact those programs. Make Children First and Success by Six also contribute funds to the training of early-childhood educators. In the letter, Wade writes that without immediate direction as to how the redirection will take shape, she suspects many skilled

community co-ordinators will look for work elsewhere, taking their expertise and the relationships they have built with them. She also expressed a concern that programming may be discontinued, particularly in rural communities. The letter was sent in July and Wade said she is still waiting for a reply from Katrine Conroy, the minister of children and family development. “I’m not surprised by the delay because it’s summer,” Wade said, adding that she expects a reply by the end of September. Wade said SD73 didn’t hear about the government’s decision from the province, but learned about it from the two community groups, which were notified in June of the pending change. “We appreciate our community partners were given long notice,” Wade said. “We’re just curious as to why the decision was made and how is this going to work going forward in February because these services are essential to our community.” In her letter, Wade notes the ministry plans to redirect funding into services providing family navigation, family support, peer-to-

peer mentorship, supports for Indigenous culture and language revitalization and programs to support social emotional well-being, but suggests that is already occurring under the current program delivery model. Make Children First is a provincewide program established and funded by the ministry and operated by Interior Community Services, which brings service providers together to aid the development of children to age six. Success by Six funds various child-care programs for kids of the same age range and is operated under a partnership that includes the ministry, United Ways Credit Unions of BC and Aboriginal partners. Wade said she hasn’t heard from other districts with the same concerns, but is waiting to hear from the B.C. School Trustees’ Association. “It was my understanding they were having some discussions about this at their board level about because other districts were also concerned,” Wade said. In the letter, Wade also states there has been a “growing concern” over the lack of information from the ministry as to what comes next.

Realtor purchases problem property, plans to tear it down Royal Avenue home has been site of crime KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW

RIVER RESCUE

Emergency crews were called to the South Thompson River near the Red Bridge on Monday for a report of a woman in distress in the water. Firefighters responded by boat and threw the woman a life preserver, which she refused. She eventually went to shore in Pioneer Park and was taken to Royal Inland Hospital for observation.

A North Kamloops home that has been the centre of much police activity in recent weeks is not long for this world. City realtor Brendan Shaw told KTW he has purchased 414 Royal Ave. and is preparing to bulldoze the notorious house that sits on the property. Shaw, who lives nearby, said he decided to purchase the problem property following a series of highprofile police events last month. “I think it’s pretty self-explanatory,” he said. “At this point, my focus is executing this demolition permit and

tearing it down.” On three consecutive nights in August, the house was the focus of intense police activity for different reasons — first a violent stabbing, then a standoff and, finally, a reported home invasion. Police later said the house has been on their radar for some time and has been linked to drug activity. In January, police executed a search warrant at the home and seized a large cache of weapons, a stash of drugs and stolen property, including a 1986 Corvette. Shaw said he expects the permitting and demolition process to take about three months.

Shootout prelim next month MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A four-day preliminary inquiry is set to begin on Oct. 1 for a man facing attempted murder charges in connection to a 17-hour standoff with police last fall. Shane William Caron is charged with four counts of attempted murder in connection to alleged shots being fired from a rifle at Mounties last October. He is facing several other charges, including possession

of a firearm without a licence, assault with a weapon, unlawfully occupying a vehicle with a firearm and being unlawfully in a dwelling. Police were initially called for a report of domestic assault involving the suspect at a North Shore home on Oct. 27, 2017, less than two weeks after Caron was released on bail following a previous arrest on similar allegations. Former RCMP superintendent Brad Mueller said at the time that police tried to

make contact with the suspect before he threatened to shoot them. Mueller said the suspect emerged from the home armed with a rifle and took off in a pickup truck. Mueller said police followed the vehicle to the Mount Paul industrial area, where the suspect is alleged to have fired at police, with Mounties returning fire. Caron was arrested at 4 a.m. on Oct. 28 while inside his parents home in the G&M Trailer Park off Highway 5 North.

Former Kamloops man killed A missing man found dead last month on the outskirts of Calgary was a former Kamloops resident. The body of Jason David Greyeyes, 48, was discovered on Sheriff King St. S.W. on Aug. 26 and police have now charged two teenagers with first-degree murder. The two 16-year-olds, who cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, were arrested in

Halifax in relation to the slaying. Greyeyes was last seen in Calgary on the morning of Aug. 11 and Calgary police issued a missing persons report on Aug. 17. His body was found in a field south of Calgary’s Silverado neighbourhood and his identity was confirmed following an autopsy. A Kamloops resident, who did not wish to have his name published, told KTW he was shocked to hear what happened to Greyeyes, a friend of his son.

“Over the years, he’s come back and visited and he was here just a month ago,” the man said. Greyeyes grew up in Kamloops and attended NorKam secondary. The man said his son and Greyeyes still kept in touch and Greyeyes attended the son’s wedding. Greyeyes had been living in Kamloops as recently as two years ago, but was most recently living in Halifax, the friend said. — with files from the Calgary Herald

Bond murder trial set for February Accused of killing 42-year-old Sean Dunn in December 2016 The trial of a man charged with second-degree murder in connection with the Dec. 30, 2016, death of 42-year-old Sean Dunn will be held early next year. James David Bond, 29, will stand trial in the first week of February, with jury selection

slated for Feb. 4. The trial has been scheduled to span five weeks. A pre-trial conference is scheduled to take place on Oct. 17. Dunn was found unconscious near the side of the road on Wood Street near Tranquille

Road in the early-morning hours of Dec. 30, 2016. At the time, investigators said they believe the slaying was the result of an altercation that began in a nearby bar. Bond was arrested and charged last year, but was later released on bail.

WHERE IS THAT B.C. NDP RENT REBATE?

he contrast is stark — and painful for those already struggling to pay their monthly rent. The provincial government has announced next year’s maximum allowable rent increase will be 4.5 per cent, the highest allowable hike in 15 years. No sooner had the news broke than many were asking Premier John Horgan about a pre-election promise that has yet to materialize — that $400 per year rent rebate he and the B.C. NDP dangled in front of voters in the May 2017 election campaign. That rebate promise seems to have disappeared, though the cost of living is painfully evident in higher rent, higher property taxes, higher BC Hydro rates and higher ICBC premiums. The maximum percentage increase allowed each year is the inflation rate plus two per cent. The inflation rate, calculated using the 12-month average percentage change in the consumer price index for B.C. ending in July, is 2.5 per cent. Therefore, the maximum allowable increase for 2019 is 4.5 per cent. That hike will create massive hardships to many people, whether they live in Vancouver or Kamloops. Even in the comparably affordable Tournament Capital, rental rates are high; basement suites rarely go for less than $1,200 per month. But this problem shouldn’t create an opening to punish landlords. Their costs continue to rise, too, with property taxes, insurance and utility bills all increasing. The B.C. NDP should start by fulfilling its campaign promise — or explain to us why it cannot be carried out. There are encouraging signs on the horizon as Kamloops has seen more rental units under construction in the past few years than in the past decade. From Sahali to North Shore, there will be more units for rent, which in theory should positively impact the bottom line on rental rates — but like that B.C. NDP promise, such a benefit needs to be seen to be believed.

That’s all, folks

started this column a couple of weeks ago, figuring having to fill this space one last time might be difficult. This Friday marks one last -30for this reporter, who still knows what that number used to mean at the end of copy headed to the city desk. To say it’s been interesting would be an understatement. In today’s world, where five years at a job before moving on is considered the norm, spending 45 years in one career (minus a strange 18 months after I left the daily in my hometown and decided to get a “normal job”) is abnormal. It has included stints at my first newspaper editing business, travel, food, housing, real-estate, books and entertainment sections. For a couple of years, I was on a night desk remaking section fronts and some inside pages for each of the five editions we put out every day in my hometown and in the regions where we had reporters toiling away in bureaus. It led to a couple of teaching stints, too, one on how to survive in the freelance world — it used to be easy back in the 1970s and 1980s — and one on covering business stories. I started when the business was booming, working for a thirdgeneration publisher who cared more about the product than he did about the profit. Of course, he had inherited the paper and the hefty bank account his predecessors created. Walter Blackburn was a true believer in the role of journalism — and he liked toys. We had a reporter-pilot and our own two-seater

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL plane for years. We had computers long before most other newspapers in the country, devoting a massive room to what has now evolved into smartphones. Our travel budget was unlimited; one year, a sports reporter took a company car (no, we didn’t drive our own) out on a one-day assignment and came back a week later. He was forgiven because he had a great story. Competition wasn’t an issue. Walter owned two of the city’s radio stations, the lone television station and, eventually, a shopper publication called The Pennysaver — think of it as the print version of today’s online classified and display ads. Our newsroom was huge and, walking into it that first day, fresh out of high school, it was intimidating. There were five assistant city editors who handled copy every day and night. The photography department had at least 10 people, including a photo editor and assistant editor. They all toiled in a darkroom. I met the love of my life there and he’s the reason we ended up in Kamloops.

Moving from a big-city daily to a smaller community newspaper was a fascinating shift. Where we were discouraged from getting involved with our city in any way other than reporting and editing at the London Free Press, here it was encouraged — and fun. I’ve met a lot of fascinating people in the past 18 years here, some of them truly unique characters. A lot of those I’ve encountered have become friends. Some people have wondered if this retirement is health-related and it’s quite satisfying to say it has nothing to do with it. An amazing surgeon got all of the early-stage little bugger last year. She said much of it went in the two biopsies. It hadn’t spread, so she doesn’t expect to see me again, as long as I stick to my meds, supplements and grain-based diet. That’s easy to do. This decision comes from something basic — I’m an old-style journalist in a new-age journalistic world. It just seems like a good time to take a look at new options, other ways to stay involved with the community that don’t involve asking questions, but maybe helping to answer them. I’m already assisting a couple of theatre folks work on a KTW Christmas Cheer event that would involve food, fun and zany frivolity. So, stay tuned. As my hubby so fondly — and accurately — puts it, his hobby is golf. Mine is meetings. We’ll all likely be meeting again. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

COMMUNICATION, NOT BLINDSIDING, IS THE KEY point of Daniel’s talk may have been to blindside families. So I looked up the meaning of blindsided and the MerriamWebster definition was: “1: to hit unexpectedly from or as if from the blind side. 2: to surprise unpleasantly”. Daniel speaks about families teaching their children to hate others. I am saddened that families are spoken about in this negative light. My view is that the majority of families do not teach their

children to hate others. With all due respect to Daniel and his right to dress however he wishes in Canada, I believe parents are still allowed to promote lifestyles and choices they believe are healthy for their children. This does not mean they hate others who dress, act or live differently than they would chose. I hope the dialogue between members of the LGBTQ community and parents can be open and not automatically lead to negative assumptions about how

parents teach their children. It is my hope that day cares obtain consent from families prior to taking them to the library to hear stories read by Daniel. And it is my wish that the strategy of education does not include blindsiding families, but involves respectful communication in which all parties consent to information being discussed with children at a public library.

Editor: One must have compassion for those still walking the picket lines at Cascades Casino. It’s been quite a while now. I find it unbelievable that this is the same Cascades Casino that donated all-you-can-eat buffet meals to families displaced by last year’s wildfires. The meals were served up by this same

on it occasionally and have never had a problem. If you want to see an example of how the City of Kamloops maintains paved trails, I strongly urge a visit to the trail behind the old MacArthur Island golf course (in photo to the right). It would be very sad to see the dike end up like that. Jean Rollier Kamloops

OPINION BUMPY RIDE FOR CITY CYCLISTS Editor: I rode my bike from Pioneer Park to Black Pines and back. I used the following route: Overlanders Bridge, Schubert Drive, Westsyde Road, Bank Road, then back onto Westsyde Road for the remainder of the ride to Black Pines. The Schubert Drive bike/ walking path is a disgrace, particularly toward the north end, approaching the Halston Connector. Tree roots growing under the

asphalt are causing large cracks and frost heave-like conditions, which is very dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians. As for the bike/walking path on the east side of Westsyde Road, there are cracks right across the surface of the path about every six metres — closer together in some places — making for a most uncomfortable ride on a road bike that lacks any suspension and has highpressure tires. I’m convinced the pro riders

competing over the cobblestone sections of the Paris-Roubaix bike race in France have a smoother ride. We hear a lot about getting folks out of their cars and onto bikes for commuting and recreational exercise, while doing their bit toward improving the air we breathe. However, with second-rate paths on which to ride, it’s little wonder it’s a hard sell. Chris Jones Kamloops

RETHINK TEMPORARY HOUSING PLAN Editor: Re: Alex McLean’s letter of Sept. 5 regarding the temporary housing that will be built on Mission Flats Road (‘Temporaryhousing numbers too high’): I agree with most everything McLean wrote.

At almost $5,000 per month per resident for three years, it is not a very cost-effective project. Do we expect the homeless to turn their lives around and find jobs in 36 months? I really don’t think that will happen. I know the plan is to

help them and I would like to volunteer to help. It it difficult to pull yourself out of that deep ditch. The program should be longer and more cost-effective. Faye Fransson Kamloops

POOR LOCATION FOR DRUG-USE SITE Editor: I agree with letter writer Roger Parker, regarding the downtown area (‘Whole new approach is needed,’ Sept. 7): I go to Desert Gardens, which is

on Seymour Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, three times a week during the day to attend programs. I also go there in the evenings for dinners. Since Interior

Health has introduced the supervised drug-use RV, what one sees on the street is disgraceful, especially since there are two seniors complexes almost next door and across the

street from the RV. Could they not move this supervised drug-use site to a better area, so seniors and others are safe? Jan Odgaard Kamloops

DO PIPELINE OPPONENTS LIVE OIL-FREE? Editor: I will admit I am in favour of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. I noticed that all the people celebrating the recent Federal Court of Appeal ruling that ordered more consultation with First Nations were not wearing natural clothing. I imagine they all drive cars and use petroleum-based products yearround. Tom Ouellette Kamloops

Mayor Ken Christian shares a laugh with Merek De Witte. SEAN BRADY/KTW

Merek De Witte’s dream of a skate park in Rayleigh is now a reality. The city’s new Rae-Mor Skate Park received its grand opening on Saturday and 14-year-old Rayleigh resident Merek was there to see what has come from an idea he and his brother Owen had years ago. Since first contacting the city with a vision for the park in 2016, Merek has been on the receiving end of what Mayor Ken Christian called “a lesson in civics.” “It’s about having an idea and following it through and getting support of the neighbourhood, about budget meetings, about being patient, about working with our parks and recreation staff and dealing with suppliers,” Christian told the gathered crowd. It’s a lesson Merek likely won’t forget. “It takes a lot of work, a lot of people and a lot of communication, too,” he told KTW. “You have to know people and get connections.” Merek said he and his brother, along with his aunt who “did all the typing and everything like that,” worked with the city to make the park a reality. Prior to the park’s creation, Merek said his only option was a 20-minute car ride into town to go to the skate park on McArthur Island. The park’s opening is also welcome news to Landon Muzio, who co-owns 808 & Bench, a skate and apparel shop downtown on Third Avenue. Muzio was at the park on Saturday, offering skateboard trials for

Muzio said said he thinks the design and location is ideal for the neighbourhood and is “well-rounded” with beginner to intermediate obstacles. “I think it will do really well and grow a lot of skill out of this area,” he said. SKATERS ORGANIZE IN CITY The opening coincides with another development in the world of Kamloops skateboarding. The night before the event, the Kamloops Skateboard Association held its first meeting. The non-profit organization is an effort by Muzio and five others — so far — who

will meet with city staff and other groups to advocate for improvements and new skating spaces in Kamloops. Muzio said he sees skateboarding culture expanding in the city and wants to make sure it has the room to grow. “Now that I’m older and don’t skate as much as I used to, I’d still like to be a part of the community and become an advocate,” he said. While the group is still in the application process for grants and funding, its first meeting was held to help outline its objectives. Muzio said some ideas on the table include better lighting for parks so skaters can continue into the night and rehabilitating the skate park downtown near Pioneer Park, which he said is “decrepit, old and out of date.”

DALE BASS/KTW

A promise he made to his mother and his god inspired Francis Kateh to return home. For the surgeon, that meant leaving South Carolina — where he ran a hospital and worked in the public-health sector — and returning to Liberia, the African country where he was born under a cotton tree. Ultimately, it also led to the doctor finally getting for his homeland something it desperately needs — an ambulance to be used in its fledgling emergency services sector. Kateh came to Kamloops on Monday to accept the vehicle and thank his benefactors. Through the assistance of two Methodist missionaries in Liberia, Kateh went to St. Lucia, where he obtained a degree in medicine. A few years later, he earned a master’s degree in health administration and another in homeland security, with an emphasis on public health disaster preparedness. Through it all, Kateh said, he remembered his promise to go from village to village and help the communities. Convinced he wasn’t living

up to that promise while in the U.S., Kateh returned to Liberia at about the same time the Ebola crisis erupted. Working at the Ganta United Methodist Hospital, where 22 of 29 healthcare workers died from the disease, he was told to find a way to stabilize the situation, engage the community and build trust. By creating two strategies, Kateh said, the transmission rate had decreased dramatically within three weeks. The pair of key decisions were to create community care centres (which he learned while working at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta) and implement a rapid isolation and treatment of Ebola strategy. This is where David Sakaki and a Vancouver charity enter the story. Sakaki, the Kamloops firefighter who spends weeks overseas delivering fire trucks and ambulances, offering training and building water systems and schools, heard Kateh speak about Ebola at a session at the University of British Columbia. At dinner later, Sakaki asked Kateh what Liberia needed. A fire truck and an ambulance, Kateh replied. “And I was absolutely

inspired,” Sakaki said, noting he joined forces with Rick Diamond, whose company, Diamond Delivery, helps Sakaki and his supporters pick up and deliver first-responder vehicles. Diamond was inspired by Vancouver General Hospital nurse Marj Ratel, who runs Korle Bu, a charity that collects and distributes medical items to West African countries. An ambulance manufacturer got involved and dropped the price. Diamond bought it for $25,000 and Sakaki flew to Montreal to pick it up and drive it back to Kamloops. In a few weeks, it will be in a shipping container, heading to Liberia. The vehicle features the Liberian flag and 4455, which is the Liberian version of 911. Kateh, who due to his work eradicating Ebola from Liberia has become the country’s deputy minister of health and chief medical officer, said the response to his brief wish list has left him believing obtaining a fire truck is no longer just a dream. “With people like David and Rick, I believe we can make a major positive change,” Kateh said. “We can make the world a different place.”

JESSICA WALLACE

Arjun Singh sees city council as a way to give back to the city that has been good to him and his family. “I love the community with all my heart,” the incumbent city councillor told KTW. “Having served now for almost 10 years, that experience, coupled with always an openness to new ideas, I feel like I’m in a pretty good place in terms of the work I can do for the community. And it’s not about what I can do, but what we can do because council is very much a team effort.” Singh is seeking re-election on Oct. 20. In three terms, he has sat on nearly every city committee and entrenched himself in the community — debating with residents online, meeting people for coffee, hitting up local events and doing pick-ups at Run Club. “Kamloops is a very diverse community

CIVIC ELECTION Oct. 20, 2018

and, unless you’re kind of connected to different kinds of people, you’re not going to be as successful as a city councillor as you could be,” he said. That’s not to say Singh hasn’t developed strong opinions on issues. He’s passionate about reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and increasing affordable housing and economic development in green technology. He has heard from residents who feel the city is prohibitive when it comes to business opportunities and noted the need for a performing-arts centre, different from the proposal defeated by referendum. Last summer, Singh filled in as mayor when Peter Milobar stepped down to run

for Kamloops NorthThompson MLA. Expecting a quiet summer, Singh didn’t know he would be guiding the city through the final Ajax mine meetings nor speaking to national media about historic wildfires in Interior B.C., with thousands of people seeking refuge in Kamloops. “It was a very challenging time, but a time when the community, as with many times in our history, just completely stepped up,” he said. “I’ll always treasure that.” Asked if he would run for mayor, Singh said he supports Mayor Ken Christian’s bid for re-election, but noted his mother would be disappointed if he didn’t run down the road. Asked to evaluate council’s last term, Singh pointed to its diversity and said he would like to see women run to fill the shoes of outgoing councillors Tina Lange and Pat Wallace. Singh said he is

proud of the city’s progress in approving affordable-housing projects and the evolution of neighbourhood associations. He said he is also proud of the sustainability committee formed, in part, out of his frustrations. Asked whether he had any thoughts after signing a letter with fellow councillors in support of proportional representation, Singh said he probably shouldn’t have signed “councillor” on the letter, but noted he is passionate about collaborative governance at all levels. Singh has also been involved for years with the Union of BC Municipalities and is expected to become president this Friday, when the annual convention concludes in Whistler. Singh is also part of Kamloops Rotary Club and is a Run Club coach. To reach Singh, call 250-377-1797, email arjun@fullworld.com or go online to arjunforcouncil.com.

Filmed fight prompts school warning A fight involving students from Valleyview secondary during the lunch hour on Monday has school officials investigating and asking that videos of the brawl be removed from social media. Several students were involved in the fight, which occurred off school property and led to some minor injuries, including one student being taken to hospital as a precaution, stated a letter to parents from Valleyview principal Barb Hamblett.

Hamblett said the video was shared widely online, which she described as “very troubling.” “Providing a safe learning environment for all students is a priority and something I take seriously,” Hamblett wrote. “As the staff and I work through this incident, please take some time to connect with your children. “If they have access to this video, please get them to remove it from their social media and talk

to them about how they use social media.” Hamblett is advising parents to let their children know they can talk to them or any of the staff at Valleyview if they are having problems online and to set out clear guidelines for how they expect their children to use their cellphone and computer. She said any inappropriate behaviour students see on social media should also be reported to school staff.

Barry Worden heard a knock on his door one day in October 2017. It was a Mountie handdelivering a pair of traffic tickets for violations alleged to have occurred more than two months earlier in a city nearly 600 kilometres away. When Worden, who lives in Heffley Creek, asked what the tickets were for and how he was being ticketed without having been pulled over, he said the officer told him he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;just the delivery boyâ&#x20AC;? and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have further information. Worden, 76, said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember doing what the violations describe: running a red light and speeding through a construction zone in Vanderhoof, where he said he was on the day the violations are alleged to have occurred. Worden said the officer told him there were no Mounties involved in the tickets. Worden was mystified how that could be the case and wondered why the tickets came so long after the day in question. To find out, Worden started by trying to dispute the tickets, but when he went to the courthouse to do so, he was told he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because the violation date was more than 30 days in the past. When Worden complained that he had just received the tickets, 65 days after the violation date, the clerk told him

he would first need to get the notice that was given to him dated by the Barriere RCMP, the detachment that delivered the tickets. After doing that, Wordenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dispute was underway and later received by the Prince George courthouse to be processed. Worden then received a call in November from someone at the courthouse asking what his dispute was about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told her â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, you tell me. I have no idea,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Worden said. There was further confusion when Worden said he was initially told there was no record of the tickets in their system, but the dispute filing went ahead. With the dispute filed and a court date set for Aug. 9, nearly a full year after the violations are alleged to have occurred, Worden had a decision to make. Should he simply pay the fines or spend the equivalent amount on fuel, accommodation and food to make the trip to Vanderhoof and present his argument in court â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with the added risk of also having to pay the fines if he lost? He decided to make his case in court and, after a seven-hour drive on Aug. 9, arrived at the Vanderhoof courthouse for yet another twist in the case against him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They put a stay on that. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be here,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Worden said he was told. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was some choked. It was a $500 trip between gas, rooms and meals.â&#x20AC;? It turns out the Vanderhoof

constable involved with the tickets was transferred more than a month before Wordenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court date and the proceedings were stayed on July 30, 10 days before his court date. Worden was told he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to see the judge, but insisted on doing so anyway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh yes I do,â&#x20AC;? Worden said he told the clerk. Worden said the judge sympathized and said Worden should have received a letter. Worden said he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The judge asked the bailiff to produce a copy of the letter, which Worden said he saw for the first time in court that day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They forgot to send it,â&#x20AC;? he told KTW. Worden said he has since made a half-dozen phone calls trying to find who was responsible for never sending the letter, but heard nothing helpful in reply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be responsible for this,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can you run a judicial system and nobody knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on?â&#x20AC;? As for what initiated the ticket, a member of the Vanderhoof RCMP said the constable who initiated the ticket took a report from a witness over the phone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something Worden didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn until after his ordeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Am I just going to pay this thing because someone wrote down my licence-plate number?â&#x20AC;? Worden asked before his court date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so slipshod itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just unbelievable.â&#x20AC;?

Calgary 2026 says price tag of Winter Games in Alberta would be $5.23 billion DONNA SPENCER

CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A draft plan for Calgary to host the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games states the total cost will be approximately $5.23 billion. The bid corporation Calgary 2026 said the required public investment from taxpayers — the city, province and country — would be about $3 billion. The remainder will be paid for privately via ticket sales, corporate sponsorship and a contribution from the International Olympic Committee in cash and services. The $5.23 billion total was calculated in 2018 dollars and did not include the potential rate of inflation over the eight years leading up to the games, which Calgary 2026 estimates will be 2.25 per cent annually. A new fieldhouse, which has long been a priority for Calgary, and a mid-size arena seating up to 6,000 were the only new venues proposed in the plan, although a curling venue has yet to be identified. Existing facilities from the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary and Canmore, Alta., as well as the ski jump in Whistler, B.C.,

from the 2010 Games would be used again in 2026. Edmonton is under consideration as a possible site for curling. The economic impact on Alberta's gross domestic product was estimated at $2 billion. “This is the one initiative that will put people back to work right away,” Calgary 2026 chief executive officer Mary Moran said. “It will leave us with legacy infrastructure we can use for generations to come. “It allows us to showcase the great culture, sport, environmental and social expertise we have here in the community.” Calgary has not yet committed to submitting a bid for the 2026 Winter Games. City council has reserved the right to pull the plug on the process at any time. A plebiscite asking Calgarians if they want to host the 2026 Winter Games is scheduled for Nov. 13, although the vote would be cancelled if council bails on a bid. The IOC's deadline to submit a bid is January. IOC members will vote on a host city in September 2019. A Calgary Bid Exploration Committee pegged the price of

the 2026 Games at $4.6 billion in June 2017. By comparison, the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver and Whistler cost roughly $7.7 billion. Calgary's draft plan proposes spending just over $500 million on upgrading and improving McMahon Stadium, Scotiabank Saddledome, the Olympic Oval, Canmore Nordic Centre, the sliding track and ski hill at WinSport and the alpine ski hill at Nakiska. The plan does not include a new NHL-sized arena. The city and Calgary Sports and Entertainment — owners of the NHL's Calgary Flames — have been in a stalemate for several months over who should pay how much for a new arena. “The timing of confirmation of this project may not meet our bid deadlines,” the draft hosting plan concept stated. “Should this facility move forward, it would result in a significant strengthening of the hosting plan and afford more opportunities for spectator participation.” The security budget is $610 million, which is less than the $900 million required in Vancouver and Whistler.

Prime Minister cautions Canadians to be wary about toking before travel CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is sounding a cautionary note about the recreational use of marijuana, saying that consuming it could have consequences for Canadians crossing the border into the United States. Trudeau made the comment during an interview on CBC Manitoba hours before a visit to Winnipeg. He was posed a question from a listener, who wanted to know what he would say to a U.S. border guard if he was asked if he had ever tried cannabis.

Trudeau replied that while he’s never told a fib while crossing the border, Canadians who have used marijuana will have to consider how they would respond. The recreational use of marijuana in Canada officially becomes legal on Oct. 17, and the prime minister says his government is working with American officials to ensure travel to the U.S. does not become a problem as a result of the change. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection office said in a statement earlier this year that medical and recreational marijuana may be legal in some U.S. states, but it

remains illegal under U.S. federal law. “I’ve never lied to a border guard,’’ Trudeau told the CBC on Tuesday, while also noting that every country has the right to decide who crosses their borders. “I certainly won’t work to assume or impress upon the U.S. who they have to let in or not. They have legalized marijuana in a number of their states and we’re trying to make sure that travel between our two countries is not disrupted.’’ But Trudeau also said it’s important to remember that marijuana is a controlled substance that’s being legalized to protect

children and communities. “It’s not a health food supplement. Choosing to partake of marijuana has consequences for individuals, for lives in different ways, and we’re not encouraging that.’’ The legalization issue is expected to be on the agenda when Trudeau meets with Progressive Conservative Premier Brian Pallister during his visit to the Manitoba capital. The meeting will come one day after the Pallister cabinet announced hefty fines for people who break Manitoba’s rules on cannabis consumption, including a $2,542 penalty for

those who grow cannabis plants at home, supply it to an underage person or sell it without a licence. The federal government has pushed to have homegrown pot allowed, but Manitoba and Quebec have fought the move and insisted the provinces have the right to restrict it. “We truly believe that allowing people to grow a small quantity at home for personal consumption is a part of removing the black market and keeping our communities safe,’’ Trudeau said. “The province has picked a different path and we’re going to see how we work that out.’’

WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg man has won a $2-million lottery prize — five months after he won $1.5 million. Melhig Melhig, a double winner with a double name, says he’s amazed and happy by his good fortune. His first win came in April with a scratch ticket bought at a Winnipeg convenience store. The 28-year old African immigrant then moved his

wife and children out of their small apartment and into a new home. Melhig continued to play the lottery and bought another scratch ticket from a Giant Tiger store in Winnipeg in August. He says he now plans to buy a business, such as a gas station or car wash, and go back to school. “I want to improve my English and communication. And I want to learn something

useful, like carpentry,’’ he said in a press release. Western Canada Lottery Corporation said Melhig isn’t the first to win a second million-dollar lottery prize in the Manitoba. A woman who bought a ticket at her grandson’s hockey tournament in Winnipeg won $1 million in 2005, then claimed the same prize two years later after buying another ticket, again, at her grandson’s hockey tournament.

Ford’s constitutional override to slash city council is ‘disappointing’: LeBlanc CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The federal intergovernmental affairs minister says it is disappointing the Ontario government has resorted to the Constitution’s notwithstanding clause to forge ahead with plans to cut the size of Toronto city council. Dominic LeBlanc warns that Ontarians will ultimately judge the provincial government’s actions. The notwithstanding clause

gives provincial legislatures or Parliament the ability to usher in legislation that effectively overrides provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for a five-year period. Ontario Premier Doug Ford took the rarely used step Monday after a court said it was unconstitutional to slash the number of city council seats in the middle of a municipal election without consultation. In a statement, LeBlanc says

the notwithstanding clause is an extraordinary part of the Constitution that should be used only in the most exceptional of cases, after serious and sober consideration. Toronto Mayor John Tory called the move a “gross overreach” of the province’s powers and said in a tweet Monday night he had met Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was in Toronto for a women’s summit, to discuss his concerns.

FAMILY HAS FOX ON THE RUN THIS WEEKEND cancer research. Today, 82 cents from every dollar donated to the Terry Fox Foundation goes toward researching ways to combat the numerous forms of the disease. The McCurrach family knows the value of such research. Dad Richard was diagnosed in 2016 with peripheral nerve sheath cancer — a rare form — and benefitted from advanced radiation therapy overseas. “He has been the benefactor of pretty amazing cancer research and we just thought it was something we had to do,” Andrea said of the family deciding to organize the Kamloops run. “We believe that research is the way to end cancer.”

A Kamloops family has taken the helm of the Terry Fox Run — and the youngest member is setting a strong pace. With four days until this Sunday’s event, 14-year-old Lauren McCurrach has raised $12,000 to support innovative cancer research. The Terry Fox Run is held across the country each year in honour of the one-legged Canadian hero who died from cancer nearly four decades ago. Terry Fox died before completing a cross-Canada trek he initiated to raise money for

TERRY FOX RUN Register online at fundraise.terryfox.org

Event planning is new to the McCurrachs. They don’t have goals for participant numbers nor an amount of money they would like to see raised in their first year. But they have been impressed with the generosity from the community leading up to an event that relies on volunteers and has no corporate sponsors. The family plans to organize the event for the foreseeable

future — Lauren hopes to raise $50,000 over the next five years — and continue the legacy of Terry Fox. Fox set high standards for himself, Lauren said, noting the Port Coquitlam resident was in his early 20s when he decided to run a marathon a day in The Marathon of Hope in 1980. Andrea referred to Fox’s humble and selfless nature, noting he did not want his run to be about him, but about the cause. “The most important thing to him was to find a cure for cancer,” she said. No minimum donation is required to attend the Terry Fox Run at Riverside Park. Registration will take place on

Free Access Bars clinic on Sept. 26 Access Consciousness is offering free Access Consciousness Bars sessions for those whose lives are or have been affected by chronic depression or suicide. Access Consciousness Bars is a hands-on acupressure based technique done by a trained facilitator. The facilitator gently touches 32 points on the head that relate to the stored-up charge in the brain, which accumulates over time and creates stressful thinking. As September is Suicide Awareness Month, Access Bars practitioners worldwide are offering free clinics. In Kamloops, a clinic is being offered at 153 Seymour St. on Wednesday, Sept. 26, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. As space is limited, prospective attendees should register by Friday, Sept. 21, by calling Jennifer Eastwood 250-571-4844 or Cathy Lidster at 250-819-9041.

CanGo Grannies welcome visitor from Africa The Kamloops CanGo Grannies are inviting the public to a free presentation by Idah Mukula, senior advisor to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, this Saturday at 1 p.m. at St. Paul’s Cathedral, which is downtown at Nicola Street and Fourth Avenue.

Mukula, a grandmother from Zambia, will talk about her experiences as a field representative of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. She works with a variety of grassroots grandmothers groups to improve the lives of the grandmothers and the grand-

children they are raising. The grandmothers are raising their grandchildren due to the loss of the kids’ mothers to the AIDS epidemic in Africa. In addition, the CanGo Grannies are hosting other grandmother groups from the B.C. Interior to a Gathering of

Grandmothers on Friday and Saturday. Those interested in joining the group or finding out more about it are welcome to attend. For more information, contact Ann Milliken by phone at 250-374-0114 or by email at millikenann@gmail.com.

Strategies to motivate Students may need some time to adjust at the beginning of a new school year. While some early school year sluggishness might be normal, that should wear off pretty quickly. If not, and students appear to be struggling to get motivated for their schoolwork, parents can try various strategies that should help reignite youngsters’ passions for learning. • Make your home more school-friendly. Resist the urge to turn the television on each night so students are not distracted from their studies. Keep the home quiet so students are motivated to focus on their studies. • Encourage participation in extracurricular activities. Various studies have examined the relationship between extracurricular activities and academic performance. The link between participation in extracurricular activities and improved academic performance is still in need of study, but such participation may help children acclimate to

the structure of the school year more quickly than they might if they do not participate in such activities. • Encourage curious youngsters. Kids are curious and fostering that curiosity can be a great way for parents to get their kids excited about learning. Whether it’s during the school year and part of their curriculum or on summer break, encourage kids to engage in subjects that interest them. As kids learn more about the topics and subjects that interest them, they may develop a passion for learning

that they can then take with them to the classroom. • Express an interest in the subjects children are studying. Another way to motivate students at the dawn of a new school year is to express an interest in the subjects they’re studying. Ask questions about their studies and encourage them to share their thoughts and opinions. Engaging students about the subjects they’re studying can motivate them to explore those subjects more deeply than they otherwise might.

Back to school by the numbers A few facts about British Columbia’s education system as the 2018-2019 school year begins: • There are 1,566 public schools and 360 independent schools in B.C. • Pending final enrolment count in fall 2018, it is estimated there will be 538,821 funded public school students this school year. This would be an increase of 1,737 students since 2017 (school-aged and adult, funded full-time equivalent students). • Based on student head count in the 2017-2018 school year, there were: -- 69,685 students with special needs in the province, 3,020 more than the year before; -- 70,487 Indigenous students in the province, 1,299 fewer than the year before; -- 67,375 English languagelearning students in the province, 1,092 more than the year before;

Made in B.C. trade show this weekend MARKET REPORT

Saturday mornings continue to be busy downtown as myriad items are sold at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market. The Saturday market runs from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the 200-block of St. Paul Street. The Wednesday market takes place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the 400-block of Victoria Street. The markets will continue through the final Saturday and Wednesday of October. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

4.5% is maximum allowable rent hike KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Rents may be rising next year by more than the usual amount. The provincial government has announced that the maximum annual allowable rent increase in 2019 will be 4.5 per cent. Based on the B.C. consumer price index and the formula for rent increases in British Columbia, landlords can choose to increase rent once annually. The maximum percentage increase allowed each year is the inflation rate plus two per cent. The inflation rate, calculated using the 12-month average percentage change in the consumer price index for B.C. ending in July, is 2.5 per cent. Therefore, the maximum allowable increase for 2019 is 4.5 per cent. For manufactured home park tenancies, the rate is 4.5 per cent plus a proportional amount for the change in local government levies and regulated utility fees. Landlords must provide tenants with three full months’ notice using the correct notice of rent increase form. Last week, the province announced that

low-income families and seniors in British Columbia who are paying rent in the private market will receive additional help, with Victoria expanding the eligibility requirements and increasing the benefits under the rental-assistance program and shelter aid for elderly renters. Effective Sept. 1, as a result of increased rent ceilings around the province, more lowincome families and seniors will be eligible for additional assistance to help with their monthly payments in the private market. The average monthly payment for elderly recipients will increase by approximately $78, or 42 per cent, to $265 from $187. Low-income families will also benefit from higher rental-assistance benefits. Under B.C.’s Rental Assistance Program, the maximum gross household income to qualify for benefits is being raised to $40,000 from $35,000. The average monthly subsidy for recipients is increasing by approximately $67, or 17 per cent, to $472 from $405. The province is providing $116 million over three years to expand eligibility and

increase the average benefits under the rental assistance program and shelter aid for elderly renters. The rental-assistance programs reimburse part of the difference between 30 per cent of income and the household rent (up to maximum rent ceilings). The rental-assistance program provides eligible working families earning up to $40,000 a year with direct assistance to help them meet monthly rent payments in the private market. Approximately 9,250 families receive assistance. Shelter aid for elderly renters provides direct cash assistance to eligible residents, who are ages 60 years or older, to help them in meeting their monthly rent payment in the private market. The provincial government also created the rental housing task force, which toured the province earlier this year seeking feedback on the concerns and issues impacting renters and landlords. The task force will share its recommendations for further improvements for renters and landlords by the end of this year.

It’s your money and our reputation. We take both seriously.

In response to feedback from its members and the public, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce has adopted a new approach to its annual trade fair — it has opened it up to the province. The key, however, is the focus this year, which is reflected it its name: Made in B.C. Tradeshow. Chamber executive director Deb McClelland said in past years with its Connect trade shows, only members of the organization could take part. The shows would take place at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre and would see about 74 participants. With the expanded vision, a larger venue was needed, so Sandman Centre will be taken over this Saturday, by representatives of many industries and businesses. McClelland said it runs the gamut from a firm that makes jerky to the movie industry that also fuels the economy. A final tally on the number of organizations taking part isn’t available because approvals are still being processed, but she expects the bigger location will also be packed. Running alongside it will be the annual Open Door Group and Work BC job fair. Participants who are also hiring will have identification on their booths indicating they are open for resumes or a chat about potential employment. McClelland said the local chamber is the only one she knows of to take on a similar project at such a large scale. “And the potential in subsequent years is massive,” she said The Made in B.C,. Tradeshow will take place from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the downtown arena. Admission is free.

Lead paint led to hazmat suits downtown Lead-paint abatement continues at two homes at Nicola Street and Fourth Avenue MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW

MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The reason for those workers in white hazmat suits at a house on the corner of Nicola Street and Fourth Avenue last week? They were brought in to rectify a requirement overlooked during a paint job. Kelson Group, the Kamloops-based property management and development company that owns the house, was required to clean up lead-containing paint disturbed by a contractor it hired to paint the exterior of the aging home. After work had already begun, WorkSafe BC alerted the company that it needed to test the paint for lead — a

requirement Kelson Group vice-president Kelly Fawcett said the company wasn’t aware of before starting the touch-up work on both the corner house and the home next to it. Fawcett said work was stopped immediately, tests came back

positive and the lead chips were subsequently cleaned with high-efficiency vacuums. Cleanup of paint chips at the neighbouring house was scheduled for Monday, Fawcett said. WorkSafe BC initially got involved in August while investigating the

contractor for not following proper fall procedures. Fawcett said the paint job was ordered to spruce up the homes. “We were hoping to do a quick little paint job on them and I guess we didn’t go about doing it right,” Fawcett said.

“We don’t want the neighbourhood to look terrible even though they [homes) are going to be [demolished]. We do try to maintain our properties to a high level.” The painting, however, isn’t part of the development plans Kelson Group has for the

properties it owns in that area. In 2017, Kelson Group purchased two 10-storey apartment buildings — The Pines on the southeast corner of Battle Street and Fourth Avenue and The Oaks on the southwest corner of Battle Street and Fourth Avenue — and parcels of land on Nicola Street, between Fourth and Fifth avenues. Multi-family rental units will rise on those parcels of land. The company also purchased vacant lots on the southeast corner of St. Paul Street and Fifth Avenue, which it has since sold to the city

for affordable-housing use. When the time comes for demolition of the Kelson-owned homes along the north side of Nicola Street — something Fawcett pegged as being three to six years away — the buildings will need to undergo lead paint and asbestos abatement. The company had plans to repaint other homes it owns in the area, but that work has been postponed. According to documents on WorkSafeBC’s website, removing lead paint without the proper controls can create lead dust that, if inhaled or ingested, can lead to a number of health effects, including weakness, headaches, stomach cramps, muscle pain and memory loss.

who participate in civic engagement programs are likely to be more involved in school, to graduate from high school and to hold more positive civic attitudes than those who do not get involved in such programs. Getting kids to volunteer as they progress through adolescence may not be so difficult. In its analysis of volunteering trends, Child Trends found that 39 per cent of Garde 12 students volunteered at least once a month in 2014 compared to just 27 per cent of eighth graders. Older students might feel compelled to volunteer to improve their college admissions applications, but parents can take steps to get their younger children excited at the prospect of volunteering. • Set a positive example: Young children want to emulate their parents, so moms and dads who volunteer may find ready and willing partners in their children. Parents can inform their children when they volunteer and why they do so before bringing kids along to join them. • Don’t forget fun: Young children may be more likely to embrace volunteering if the activity is fun. Kids might not find it too fun to sit next to their parents while mom and dad balance a soup kitchen’s books, but a beach cleanup excursion or a trip to refurbish an inner city park may inspire kids

to spend a lifetime giving back to their communities and helping the less fortunate. • Keep it simple: Kids may not enjoy volunteering activities that consume too much time or make them feel exhausted. As kids grow older, parents can encourage them to embrace more challenging activities and/ or commit more time to

volunteering. But keep things simple with especially young children or older children who have never before volunteered. • Try and try again: It might take some trial and error before parents find volunteering opportunities their children truly enjoy. When volunteering with children for the first time, be careful not to commit

to more than one day. If children enjoy themselves, then parents can commit more time. If kids do not seem excited by an activity, parents won’t feel guilty or let the charity down by not returning. Children can benefit greatly by volunteering, and parents can get their youngsters involved at an early age.

Aces wild at Gur Singh Memorial STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mike Macleod sat in a brand new Mercedes Benz last Friday night around the time Bob Slipp drove himself home in his Subaru Outback. “Let’s hear it for Bob, who won nothing!” Rick Arnish bellowed into the microphone while announcing prizes at the Gur Singh Memorial Golf Tournament. The golf balls aligned at the Dunes at Kamloops Golf Course in Westsyde, when two golfers drained a-hole-in-one on the 181-yard fourth hole. Macleod, a 46-year-old who recently moved to Sun Peaks to take the helm of sales and marketing at the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel and Conference Centre, stepped up to the ball with a three hybrid, aimed a little to the left and fired away. “I was just thinking it would be great to hit the green,” he told KTW. Hit the green he did. Macleod’s ball

landed 12 to 15 feet to the left of the pin and began to roll. It rolled and rolled and rolled

until, eventually, it disappeared. “I got pretty quiet,” Macleod said. “I was like, I definitely think it was in. Sure enough, it was in the hole.” His first-ever hole-in-one — an accomplishment that tops any golfer’s bucket list — was made even sweeter because the hole happened to be sponsored by Zimmer Autosport. The first golfer to ace the hole won a Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 worth $46,000. “I’ve been close a few times,” Macleod said. “Nothing with that on the line.” Then came the next guy. About 30 minutes later, Slipp, a 68-yearold retired Rivershore Golf Links member, stepped up to that same tee box with a four hybrid and sunk a second hole-in-one to the bewilderment of everyone at the course. The group ahead watched it all happen, jumping up and down from the next hole. There was only one problem — there was only one car to give away. “Bad timing,” Slipp told KTW. “We started on the wrong hole. Had we got there

first, then the ball probably wouldn’t have gone in. It’s so much luck.” Luck, schmuk. The ace was Slipp’s fifth in 45 years on the links. He’s buried holes in one on three out of four par-threes at his home course of Rivershore. “I’m waiting to get the fourth,” he said. “That’s my challenge now.” Unlike Macleod, however, Slipp has never won a cent for a hole in one. But he harbours no sour grapes, noting he was told the car had already been spoken for as he teed up his ball. The bizarre situation made for entertaining dinner-time fodder inside the clubhouse, where Macleod and Slipp shook hands, congratulated each other and shared a beer — on Macleod, of course. “He didn’t seem as upset as I thought,” Mcleod said. The Dunes also pitched in a once-perweek membership, which Slipp appreciated. “It’s better than nothing because I wasn’t going to get the Mercedes anyway,” he said.

Kamloops Cacti-Cross is among the most important events on the Interior Grasslands Cycling Club schedule, a two-day cyclocross spectacle that will bring riders to the Tournament Capital from across the province. “Cycling B.C. wants to support our events because they want to be more than just a Lower Mainland organization,” IGCC president Mike Moonie said. “It’s important that, locally, people support it and come out and participate and watch.” Day 1 of Cacti-Cross will be held in Pioneer Park on Saturday, Sept. 22,

on a track that will feature a variety of natural obstacles. The race will double as a stop on the B.C. Interior Cyclocross Series. More man-made challenges will present themselves on Day 2, when Cacti-Cross moves to Prince Charles Park on Sunday, Sept. 23. Cyclocross combines road cycling and mountain biking. Many intermediate and elite riders will be using cyclocross bikes, which generally look like road bikes, but have thicker tires and stronger brakes on a beefier frame. Beginners are invited to register for the event and do not require cyclocross-specific bikes. Find the sign-up link online at interiorgrasslandscycling.com.

Huskers upend Broncos The struggle continues for the Kamloops Broncos as the B.C. Football Conference squad fell to 0-4 on the season with a 49-25 loss on Saturday to the visiting Valley Huskers of Chilliwack. The win left Valley tied with Nanaimo’s Vancouver Island Raiders atop the standings in the six-team league with a 4-1 record. Kamloops remains mired in the basement. The Okanagan Sun (2-2-1), Langley Rams (2-3) and Westshore Rebels (1-2-1) are sandwiched in the middle. Kamloops returns to action on Saturday, with a four-point game on Vancouver Island against Westshore. Since the Aug. 18 game in Kamloops between the two clubs was postponed due to wildfire-related poor air quality, the league decided to make the return match a fourpoint game. Kamloops’ next home game will be on Saturday, Sept. 22, when the Raiders visit Hillside Stadium for a 6 p.m. kickoff. FREE SQUASH B.C. Women’s Squash Week, which runs from Sept. 15 to Sept. 22, will be celebrated by the Kamloops Squash Association and No Limits Fitness.

Humboldt Broncos return to ice Wednesday RYAN MCKENNA

CANADIAN PRESS

HUMBOLDT, Sask. — The head coach of the Humboldt Broncos says he’s not sure what to expect when his players get on the ice Wednesday night for their first regular-season game since the team was involved in a deadly bus crash. Nathan Oystrick said he hopes it’s just like any other game and that the team is focused on playing its best. But he said he knows it could be tough, especially for the players who are returning to the Broncos this year. “I don’t know how our players are going to react,’’ Oystrick told an afternoon news conference in Humboldt on Tuesday. “Obviously the returning players — it is going to be very emotional for them. Either way it is going to be an emotional game. And I am hoping that once the puck drops, our guys are focused and ready to play hockey.’’ TSN’s game broadcast will begin at 4:30 p.m. The opponent Wednesday is the Nipawin Hawks, the same junior A hockey team the Broncos were on their way to play April 6 when their bus collided with a tractortrailer at a rural intersection. Sixteen people, including 10 players, were killed and 13 players were injured.

SIGN UP FOR PETER PUCK Registration for Peter Puck Hockey will be held on Thursday at Dolson’s Source For Sports in Aberdeen Mall. Sign up for the learn-to-skate program between 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. For more information, call Dianna Hartnell at 250-3760072.

Only two of the survivors — Derek Patter and Brayden Camrud — are back on the team this season and are to play in Wednesday’s sold-out game. Four survivors have signed to play hockey at post-secondary institutions in Ontario and Prince Edward Island this fall. Two remain in hospital suffering from brain injuries, while two others were paralyzed in the crash. This year’s team includes four players who weren’t on the bus, but had played some games with the Broncos during the 2017-2018 season: Mitchell Girolami, Reagan Poncelet, Zach McIntyre and Kade Olsen. The remaining 16 players on the 22-player roster, as well as most of the coaching staff, joined the team after the crash. Born in Regina, Oystrick spent 10 seasons as a pro hockey player, mostly in the minor leagues. He played 65 games in the NHL for the Atlanta Thrashers, Anaheim Ducks and St. Louis Blues. He was coaching for the Colorado Academy, a private high school in Denver, when he took the Broncos job. Oystrick takes over as coach from Darcy Haugan, who was also killed in the crash along with assistant coach Mark Cross. Another assistant coach, Chris Beaudry, has taken a new position with a different team in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Haugan’s widow, Christina, said it’s going to be tough to see the Broncos back on the ice without her husband. “Not having Darcy behind the bench like he should be and watching the team is going to be incredibly hard and emotional. But we will do it kind of like we have done all the other steps in this journey and it is one moment at a time,’’ she told Regina radio station CKRM in an interview this week.

Olynyk, Canada on World Cup trail LORI EWING

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — With seconds left in Tuesday’s scrimmage, Kelly Olynyk of Kamloops fired a pass to Aaron Best in the corner. Best drained the game-winning three-pointer as the buzzer sounded. A grinning Tristan Thompson sprinted onto the floor and wrapped his long arms around Best. The scene — an NBA champion celebrating a Canadian university product — said plenty about this version of Canada’s men’s basketball team, which hosts Brazil on Thursday in World Cup qualifying in Laval, Que. Thompson said he’ll happily play the part of team leader. “Definitely the experience and just being part of a journey that guys look at and they want to pick my brain, ask questions,’’ Thompson said on what he gives the team. “And it’s not just myself, it’s me, Kelly and Cory [Joseph], we have a lot of experience both NBA and international, where we can help these guys and kind of just build a culture. “I think that’s the most important thing, you’ve got to build a culture. You see that in the NBA, teams that have longterm success and longevity [are] teams that build a culture, and that’s what we’re trying to do here.’’ The 27-year-old hasn’t played for the national team since a heartbreaking 83-74 loss to France in the Philippines that kept Canada home from the Rio Olympics. He jokingly cursed San Antonioturned-Charlotte Hornet guard Tony Parker, who had 26 points to lead France. “Damn T.P. He didn’t really play all that well all the games until against us,’’ Thompson said. Joking aside, the loss stung. It’s a big reason why, despite playing well into June four consecutive seasons, Thompson is

in Montreal, and committed to building a winning culture with Canada’s team. “Obviously, it definitely put a damper on my summer,’’ he said. “It got us hungry, myself and Cory, we were hungry to get back out there and put us in a position to take a step further for our country. “When you’re able to play for your country, and represent everyone back home, there’s no feeling like it. It’s something we’re trying to build up, and have guys being prideful to play for their country, and take it seriously. A little bragging rights. There’s opportunity here.’’ Thompson, Joseph, Olynyk, Khem Birch and Justin Jackson are the five NBA

players who will suit up on Thursday. Dillon Brooks was named to the roster, but is sick with the flu and didn’t make the trip to Montreal. Canada plays in Chile on Monday and, with NBA training camps opening a week later, it’s unlikely any of them will make the long flight. Canadian coach Roy Rana praised the enthusiasm Thompson has brought to camp. “He’s just such a tremendous character. His presence is a tremendous confidence builder for everybody. His presence just changes the environment,’’ Rana said. “Everyone feels a lot more confident with him around and obviously he’s such a warrior, he impacts the game in so many small ways that people don’t see and he’s a winner. He’s won an NBA title, that’s always nice to have on your roster.’’ Blue Devils rookie R.J. Barrett was also en route to Montreal on Tuesday after Duke was shut down ahead of Hurricane Florence. Barrett, who made his senior team debut in two World Cup qualifying wins earlier this summer, is unavailable to play Thursday, but wanted to be in Montreal to support the squad. Canada takes a 5-1 record into Thursday’s game. The next two qualifying windows see Canada play at Venezuela on Nov. 30 and Brazil on Dec. 3. Canada will host Chile on Feb. 21 and Venezuela on Feb. 24. The World Cup is Aug. 31 to Sept. 15 in China.

GOLOVKIN, ALVAREZ PRIMED FOR REMATCH TIM DAHLBERG

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — For a sport often given up for dead, boxing is suddenly very much alive. Turn on the TV and there’s probably a fight on from somewhere. Tune in and there’s a good chance even the most casual boxing fan will find something to like. The heavyweight division is coming back and there’s a group of welterweights so talented they are bringing back memories of the 1980s, when fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns and Marvelous Marvin Hagler ruled the ring and the biggest fights were magical affairs staged outdoors on the Las Vegas Strip. Networks are getting into bidding wars for fights and a string of new deals means there’s more boxing on free television than ever before.

And, of course, there’s Saturday night. That’s when Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez step into the ring at the T-Mobile Arena to try to settle what they couldn’t the first time around in a hotly anticipated showdown with the middleweight title at stake. The fight is a rematch of their draw last September, and this time both fighters have made it clear they just don’t like each other. It’s a combination that should make this a pay-perview worth reaching into the wallet for, though it’s not cheap. Boxing still insists on a buy-in for its biggest fights and, at $84.95 to watch at home, this fight needs to deliver in a big way to justify the cost. Whether it does won’t be known until the two actually get into the ring together in a fight delayed from May after Alvarez tested positive for

a performance-enhancing drug. But there’s a lot to like about two big punchers meeting to settle things at 160 pounds the way fighters used to do it back in the day. “I believe it will be a big drama show,’’ Golovkin said. “I wanted the first fight to be a big drama show, but he wouldn’t fight me.’’ Golovkin’s complaint about Alvarez not standing toe-to-toe with him in the first fight isn’t his only issue with the rematch. He also believes Alvarez is a cheater, and dismisses his claim that eating tainted meat in his native Mexico led to the positive test for clenbuterol. “It’s very strange because we know what happened. He was caught for doing illegal substances,’’ Golovkin said through an interpreter. “As far as his stories about the meat, you have to be really stupid to believe these kind

of stories after being caught doping.’’ Golovkin’s other complaint centred on the purse split for the fight. Alvarez, who was a proven pay-per-view draw, got 70 per cent of the take in the first fight, and was supposed to get 65 per cent in the second, had it happened in May as planned. But Triple G stood his ground, finally getting a 45 per cent share after already booking another fight elsewhere that would have paid him only a fraction of the millions both he and Alvarez will make for their showdown. All of which, of course, has raised some bitter feelings in the Alvarez camp. “It’s definitely more personal now. I really don’t like him,’’ Alvarez said. “It’s personal, and I take it that way. It will make me train harder and give it the extra push to knock him out.’’

Keith Stabeck

Keith was born on August 22, 1956 in Red Deer, Alberta. He grew up in Kamloops, BC, graduated from NorKam Senior Secondary school in 1974 and started his adult working career working for Simpson Sears Canada in Kamloops delivering furniture. He then worked for the Kamloops Oil Refinery (Esso), Transmountain Pipeline and the Raleigh Water District. Something everyone will remember about Keith and we were all endeared to it, was that “spring” in his step and that infectious smile on his face at work, at home and at play. He always wanted to do his very best in life with his family and friends and co-workers and he showed it. He will be remembered dearly as a gentle, kind, humble, approachable, humourous and solidly the most generous spirit you could ever meet. His interests included the outdoors, camping, sledding, ATVs and of course having a “Bud” and some laughs with his friends and family. He leaves behind to mourn his passing, his partner in life Wendy (Turner), children Brad and Sarina, brothers Barry (Lorna) and Gavin (Sarina) and his loving extended family. He was predeceased by his parents Ovar and Dorothy Stabeck. A Celebration of this man’s wonderful Life will occur at 547 Lynwood Avenue in Kamloops, BC on September 15, 2018 between 1:00 and 4:00 pm for family and friends to reunite and remember the Keith we all knew and loved. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests a donation be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association. (CMHA).

May 11,1934 - August 30, 2018 On the afternoon of August 30th with her children by her bedside, Mom began her ascent to the gates of heaven, as the gates swung open there stood her beloved son Grant, her mother Beatrice and father Elmer, brothers Jack, Forest, Cameron, Gilbert and her sister Dorothy (Dot), all awaiting her arrival with open arms. Mom fought a brave battle against cancer, always staying positive and her courage never wavered, but in the end cancer won. It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye from her beloved husband Terry of 65 years of marriage, her only surviving brother Norman (Shirley) Smith of Fort Saskatchewan, her children Gwen (Rob) of Edmonton, Kevin (Deb) of Kamloops and Lala (Carlo) also of Kamloops, grandchildren Robbie (Stacy), Anthony (Danielle), Lauren (Kai), Taylor, Connor and Leah, Erika (Chad) and Jiles (Abbey), great-grandchildren Lily, Jack, Annika, Ava, Paisley, Nixon and Jacob will miss their GiGi and numerous nieces and nephews will sadly miss Auntie Esther. And let’s not forget her furbaby “Lily” the dog as lovingly known, will always be waiting for her. Her life spent here was a gift to all who knew her or got the chance to meet her. She formed lifelong friendships with ease and cared deeply for all those around her. With Mom’s endearing personality she touched the lives of everyone she met in a way that will prove everlasting. Mom was born in Wingard, Saskatchewan and was one of seven children. She married Dad on a Wednesday, December 16, 1953 in Choiceland, Saskatchewan. They moved to Lynn

Sidney passed away peacefully on July 9, 2018 at the age of 91 years. Sid is survived by his loving family: his sister Iris and her family, his daughters Marcy, Gale and Diane (Chris) and son Gary. He also leaves to cherish his memory, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Sid was predeceased by his loving wife Jean in 2008. Sid was a hard worker, a plumber by trade. He enjoyed many hobbies before his sight failed. Sid wanted to live to be 95 but fell a little short of this goal due to his failing health. He enjoyed life to the fullest and to the end, on his own terms. His love and strength will be with us always. We, Sid’s family would like to thank all the health care workers for the care and support that they provided for Dad/Grandpa and for us, the family. The compassion and empathy we received was most appreciated. A special “thank you” also goes to RIH, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice, Dr. Vlahos and staff, Dr. Dempster and staff and home nurse Dana. There is no service by request. We will miss you, Dad/Grandpa!

Sidney Arthur Murray

Funeral Director

I have been happily living in Kamloops since 1991. In 1992 I began working as a funeral director and joined Schoening Funeral Service in August 2000. I am honoured to be of assistance to so many families in their time of need. In my spare time I am involved with the Kamloops Blazer Hockey Booster club. I also hold the position of Treasurer of our Kamloops HOG Chapter. Lake, Manitoba in 1959 then to Kelowna and they eventually made their way to Kamloops in 1961 and resided here ever since. Mom and Dad were more than husband and wife’ they were best friends and loved doing everything together, many nights were spent in the kitchen dancing and singing and they were joined by many friends and family, the stories that kitchen could tell of all the wonderful memories. Our Mom worked at the Plaza as a waitress along with her sister Dot for many years, those were the days they both could carry six dinner plates on their arms and serve with never dropping a crumb. After the Plaza closed, Mom went on to Tranquille School and worked in the laundry department, there she formed many close friends. It closed in 1985 and that took her to Overlander Extended Care Hospital again in the laundry department and then she became a bedmaker, she always said that it was the best job she ever had. She retired for a while but was a little to bored so off to work she went again this time at a drycleaners that lasted for a while and finally she worked with her daughter Lala with her housecleaning business for 5 years. Mom was also a member of the Elks Ladies Royal Purple and volunteered hundreds of hours over the years to specific charities. Finally Mom retired for good and stayed home caring for our Dad who has Alzheimer’s. Her unconditional love, caring and patience for Dad for so many years was paramount, right up to the very end she always thought of Dad and others first. Mom was an excellent cook and baker, the cookie jar was always full (Dad has a sweet tooth) and she loved to entertain, she could pull together a five-course meal for ten people

in a heartbeat. Her potato salad, beet pickles and breaded chicken and goulash was only some of the family’s favourites there were so many more that we will forever miss. She played many sports throughout the years some with Dad some not, in her younger years she was a baseball back catcher, there was bowling (so many trophies), she was a horseshoe champion; she had a custom made pool cue. Mom and Dad curled for many years in a mixed league and went to so many out of town bonspiels, so much fun, so much laughter and so many memories they had with their friends. She took up golf too when she retired. Over the years Mom and Dad went on many gambling trips to Reno, Las Vegas, Seattle, Utah and finally here in BC and in Edmonton when it became legal (3 card poker was her favourite and Dad played the slots), they loved every minute whether they won or lost. Every week for so many years bingo was on the agenda, she was pretty lucky to say the least. She looked forward to playing any kind of card games, board games, dice games (Yahtzee and 456) she was eager and excited to play with family and friends. She was an avid reader and loved doing puzzles and coloring. In closing, Mom loved life and lived everyday to the fullest, always looking her best with a smile on her face and arms wide open to welcome and give you the most loving hug. She was one of a kind being genuine and sincere. She was an amazing Mom and could do anything she put her mind to, so independant so strong and so caring she has left an everlasting legacy within our family. Mom will be forever remembered by her large family and friends for her humour, hospitality and her loving heart. She always said “Life is what you make it”.

13 Years

There will be a Celebration of Life for Garth at the Heffley Creek Hall on Saturday, September 15, 2018 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm. Everyone please join us.

A million times we’ve missed you A million times we’ve cried, If love could have saved you You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a memory, That no one else can fill. Always and forever Your Memory and Spirit will be with us. Our Love Josie, Lynn, David, Mary Jane, Richard and Grandkids.

Mom was an artist, loved to draw and paint when she was young but when mom developed dystonia, she was no longer able to do the things that she loved so much. Mom was a warm, funny, giving and very sweet person who lived for her children and husband and whom everyone loved when they met her. Mom was also one of the strongest women you could meet. Mom was happiest when surrounded by family. Mom truly loved all of her extended family from Dad’s side, his sisters and brothers and their children as well and loved being around a large family gathering. Mom was a very private person but when you were in her circle, you felt cared for and loved. Mom never liked people to make a big fuss over her but she always loved making a fuss over others instead. There will be a small family service to remember Ruth. Please, no flowers at the family’s request. The family would like to extend a very warm and heartfelt thank you to Dr. Mavis Hollman who looked after Mom so well and whom mom loved dearly, as well as Dr. Vukusic, the nurses, RTs and social worker who helped Mom, as well as Dad and the family in the Emergency Room.

Please join us for a Celebration of Life for Brian McIntosh on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at 1:00 pm at Hills of Peace Lutheran Church, 695 Robson Drive, Kamloops.

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!
