Gourlay suing over prison assault TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops man who killed a teenager in a hit-and-run crash in 2016 is suing two prisoners and two corrections officers relating to a pair of jailhouse beatings he sustained following his arrest last year. Jason Gourlay was sentenced earlier
Authorized by Cindy McKinnon, Financial agents for Dale Bass 250-572-4620
this year to 10 months in prison after pleading guilty to charges of leaving the scene of an accident and obstructing justice stemming from the Nov. 6, 2016, death of Jennifer Gatey. Gatey was one day short of her 17th birthday when she was killed. Court heard she was sitting on the curb at a bus stop, beneath a street light, when she was struck
and killed by Gourlay’s Jeep. The incident took place on Pacific Way behind Gatey’s family home. Gourlay, 43, filed suit in B.C. Supreme Court on Thursday detailing two incidents in which he claims to have been assaulted while in pre-trial custody.
As the impact of a renegotiated trade pact between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico begins to sink in, Kamloops politicians and business representatives say they are relieved to see a deal in place — while wine shoppers in grocery stores will soon see an expanded selection from outside of B.C. Replacing the 25-year-old North American Free Trade Agreement, the United States Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) was reached late Sunday night amid 11th-hour negotiations ahead of the Americanimposed Oct. 1 deadline. While admitting there is still much information to review, both Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo (Conservative) MP Cathy McLeod and Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president Joshua Knaak said it’s important an agreement is in place. “We needed a deal with our biggest trading partner,” McLeod said. The negotiations, however, were all about making concessions to U.S. President Donald Trump, with essentially no gains for Canada, McLeod told KTW. Knaak echoed that sentiment. “I think the prospect of a trade war, the uncertainty, is pretty frightening in the business sense,” Knaak said. “Do we have something that was better than what we had before? It doesn’t sound like it. It doesn’t sound like we had to give up much, but we didn’t gain anything out of it.” Under the USMCA, Canada has preserved holdovers from NAFTA such as the dispute-resolution provision Chapter 19, which allows for independent panels to resolve disputes involving companies and governments.

Sun Peaks Grand Hotel and Conference Centre executive director Bell Miller is excited to be repurposing the hotel’s furniture to help build homes for people in need. A mass renovation project has provided over 3,000 pieces of furniture to be donated to Kamloops Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore.
A GRAND GESTURE FOR THOSE IN NEED JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
More than 3,000 pieces of furniture from the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel and Conference Centre will be repurposed to help build homes for people in need. The hotel in the resort community 45 minutes from Kamloops is donating beds, TVs, tables, couches, desks, dressers and high-back chairs — furniture that equipped suites at the hotel — to Habitat for Humanity Kamloops’ secondhand store as the Grand undergoes renovations. ReStore assistant manager Aaron Myers has never before seen a donation of this size. “It’s a huge, huge, huge profit for us,” he told KTW. The donations began coming in about two weeks ago with help from Big Steel Box. The company agreed to reduced transportation costs for the non-profit and is storing bins full of furniture on its property as ReStore unloads the items from its store to sell to the general public. Big Steel Box store manager Adam Kaufman

estimated about 20 boxes of furniture weighing about 120,000 pounds need to be unloaded, 11 of which had been dropped off at the store as of Tuesday. “One of our values is to do good in our communities, so that’s mainly the motivation behind it, but it’s actually fun to be a part of this too,” he said. “We actually get excited.” Big Steel Box has been a huge help to ReStore, being that ReStore doesn’t need to utilize significant employee time to collect the items. “They’ll just load them up and drop them and we’ll sort the C-cans [storage containers],” Myers said. “Typically to get that much furniture, we’d be spending like a week or two of driving around, picking up donations.” The money from the items will help fund Habitat for Humanity programming, including building houses for people in need. Grateful for the donation, executive director Bill Miller said the sales will generate a substantial revenue. “The purpose of habitat is to provide housing and the ReStore supports that purpose,” Miller

said. “We provide housing for a variety of lowincome families or individuals, single mothers, families. It’s a big deal.” People can visit the store to see what types of items are for sale and put their name on an order sheet. When storage bins arrive on site with the items, they can be loaded directly into vehicles. While there are many different pieces of furniture, beds go for $85 and bed frames are sold for approximately $15. As the hotel gets rid of its furniture, it is helping a local non-profit But there’s one added bonus. “A lot of this stuff would go to the landfill if it didn’t come here,” Myers said. Habitat recently completed a duplex in Westsyde and is partnering with Tk’emlups te Sewcepemc on a new housing project for a family in need. The organization opened in Kamloops in the early 2000s and has built about a dozen houses in that time. Habitat accepts donations to help people in need. KPMG also donated its furniture in the past. ReStore is located at 1425 Cariboo Pl.

Lawsuit claims safety concerns were ignored From A1
Gourlay claims he was assaulted at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre and in a provincial prison on Vancouver Island. He was first arrested on March 3, 2017, and transferred from police custody to KRCC three days later. In his notice of claim, Gourlay, who had never before been in jail, says he expressed safety concerns to corrections officers upon his arrival at the facility, given the highprofile nature of the allegations he was facing. Gourlay’s lawsuit claims no
action was taken and that he was not placed in protective custody. Gourlay was granted bail on March 9, 2017, under the condition he be released the following day. The bail hearing received extensive media attention. “On the night of March 9, 2017, an inmate at KRCC made some threatening gestures to the plaintiff and the plaintiff became concerned for his safety,” the claim reads, noting Gourlay spoke with two unnamed corrections officers about his concerns. “No additional steps were taken by any personnel at KRCC to take
any steps to ensure the safety of the plaintiff after he had expressed concerns about his safety. “On March 10, 2017, while the plaintiff remained in custody at KRCC, the plaintiff was assaulted and repeatedly struck in the head by Brock Ledoux.” Ledoux later pleaded guilty to aggravated assault stemming from the incident, the claim alleges, noting Gourlay suffered a broken jaw that required surgery to fix, as well as a traumatic brain injury, abrasions and emotional trauma. The second jailhouse assault took place on April 26, 2017,
according to the notice of claim, following Gourlay’s arrest on allegations he breached the conditions of his bail. The claim states an unnamed cellmate “repeatedly assaulted the plaintiff throughout the night while the plaintiff was locked in his cell” at Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre. The jailhouse assaults were mentioned by defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen during Gourlay’s sentencing hearing in May. They were also referenced during his sentencing by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather
MacNaughton as a mitigating factor. She described them as “pure vigilante justice.” In addition to the jail term, Gourlay was also prohibited from driving for one year upon his release from custody and ordered to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database. No specific dollar amount is set out in Gourlay’s notice of civil claim. None of the parties named in the lawsuit have responded and none of Gourlay’s claims have been proven in court.

First pot store to be approved hours before opening JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
It will be cutting it close, but the City of Kamloops is confident a cannabis-licence application for the province’s first legal marijuana store, headed to council on Oct. 16, will be approved in time for legalization the following day. City business inspector Dave Jones said summer holidays and the municipal election have meant limited council meetings to bring forward the application. “It’s the only time we can get it in,” Jones said,
noting legalization was originally supposed to occur in July. The province began accepting applications for cannabis licences in August. Once it reviews the applications, it sends referrals to municipalities, which also must approve them before a licence can be issued. The province sent its own application to the City of Kamloops near the beginning of September to pave way for a BC Cannabis Store in Columbia Place next to Save-On Foods. That store is expected to be the sole recreational pot shop in B.C. open on Oct. 17,
the date on which the federal government will legalize recreational pot. As part of public consultations, the province was also required to mail out notifications to those within 100 metres of the planned store and post a sign of the plans on the storefront, which is currently in place. No public hearing will be required for council to approve the licence. “We went through a long public hearing to deal with the zoning,” Jones said. The provincial government is working with
local governments in opening cannabis shops to ensure they are welcomed in B.C. municipalities, he added. It decided upon a mixed public-private model. Communities like Abbotsford and Richmond have so far banned retail cannabis stores. Meanwhile, 10 cannabis stores continue to operate illegally in Kamloops. Jones said two or three of them are going through the process of trying to legitimize. Owners of those
stores will have to close their doors for a minimum of one month before they can go before council, Jones said. The provincial and federal governments have agreed to supply safe, controlled cannabis, Jones said, noting products in illegal shops do not fit within that guideline. So, what will come of those illegal shops? “The government will have a plan to have these closed down,” Jones said. “Voluntary compliance would be the best thing.”

EVERY VOTE DOES INDEED COUNT
A
ll voices deserve to be heard as a community plans for today and the future. That planning is spearheaded by those we elected at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. It was not that long ago that certain groups could not cast a ballot — women, the Indigenous and other minority groups. While today’s homeless are not prohibited by law from voting, their station in life often precludes them from doing so, faced as many are with barriers such as physically getting to polling stations with proper identification. Renee Stein, program co-ordinator for the Out of the Cold homeless shelter, is trying to fill in the gaps and have the ballots of the homeless count as much as all others. Stein and others are hoping their experience in working with the city’s homeless and their personal interactions with the group, will help lead some to polling stations during the Oct. 20 civic election. She is intent on gathering volunteers to be at the Heritage House polling station to help city staff confirm the identities of those who may not have the proper identification, but wish to cast ballots. City of Kamloops chief election officer Scott Redgrove noted that while legislation concerning identification is strict, there is a provision that gives discretion to election officials in ensuring they are convinced of the voter’s identity. Perhaps giving the homeless a voice in the civic election can be one more step toward helping improve lives. Housing projects are under construction and various agencies are offering myriad services. The power that comes from exercising one’s franchise — with the city actively seeking that voice — cannot be underestimated. Kudos to Stein and the City of Kamloops for doing what they can to give everyone a chance to cast a ballot.

Newspapers matter
I
’ve written a few times in this space about the state of the media industry in Canada, but this week I won’t be the only one doing so. That’s because this is National Newspaper Week. More than 1,000 community newspapers across the country are combining forces to celebrate the work we do, to thank our readers, our advertisers and our carriers — and to ask for your help. In my 21 years in the business, I’ve had the privilege of working as a reporter, editor, publisher and administrator with community newspapers. I have worked with the people who produce them in more than 40 communities across Western Canada, from Campbell River on Vancouver Island to Thompson, Man. Some are tiny offices in small villages with only one or two people in them; some are sprawling newsrooms in metropolitan centres. But there’s one thing I see in every one of them — talented, dedicated people who are committed to connecting their communities. It’s that community connection that makes it a pleasure and a privilege to be able to do what Robertson Davies (a journalist of many years standing before he became a great Canadian novelist) called “ordinary, necessary work” — and it’s wonderful to be celebrating 30 years of that community connection here at Kamloops This Week this past year.
TIM SHOULTS
View From
KTW
But it’s getting harder to do that ordinary, necessary work as the media landscape changes. It’s not a problem of having enough readers — if anything, we’ve got more than ever. According to our national association, News Media Canada, eight out of 10 Canadians still read a newspaper every week. Among millennials, who are commonly thought to be less likely to read, the ratio of readership actually goes up to 85 per cent. Rather, the problem is that local advertising dollars, which have long been the lifeblood that supports that local journalism, are going more and more to the digital space, where they are being sucked up by two massive foreign corporations: Facebook and Google. Between them, they take 70 per cent of the online advertising revenue in Canada. Last I checked, they don’t employ any journalists in Kamloops — or anywhere else, for that matter. As I said in a talk at TEDxTRU earlier this year, we live in an era
in which there seems to be an infinite amount of news available and plenty of ads to pay for it all. But because the business model is broken, all the money goes to the middlemen — the people who distribute, rather than create, content. So, really, we stand at the brink of a famine in local news at what looks like a time of plenty. We’ve seen the effects of that first-hand here in Kamloops with the loss of a daily newspaper and a dozen fine local journalists. A recent report studying news coverage in communities that have lost media outlets shows that local coverage of democratic institutions and civic affairs suffers. That’s a problem that has serious long-term consequences for the communities in which we live. So, what’s the solution? A big part of it is acknowledging the problem. That’s part of what we’re doing here this week. During National Newspaper Week, I’ve got a request for you. Please go to our new website, newspapersmatter.ca, to sign a pledge of support and send a message — to Canadian businesses, to advertisers, to all levels of government, to newspaper journalists and to all Canadians — that newspapers matter, now more than ever. At the same time, more than ever, thank you for your support. Tim Shoults is operations manager for Aberdeen Publishing Inc. He can be reached by email at tshoults@ aberdeenpublishing.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR KAMLOOPS NEEDS TO SOBER UP Editor: I woke up recently to see an inebriated man urinating across the street and hardly able to stand. I called the RCMP’s non-emergency number and asked them to move him along. Officers attended and left him there. He passed out shortly thereafter. Has it come to this, when people who have had too much to drink can pass out wherever they choose? It’s not something I want in my neighbourhood. Shelley McGregor Kamloops

crime and violence. I’m not sure whether any of our local civil elected officials can help. The sort of unprovoked attack as described by Morrison has only one answer — that being arrest and jail time, not the sort of slap-on-the-hand rulings the courts hand out. Where are the city’s police foot patrols?
Where is the older RCMP officer who was a fixture every day, patrolling the streets and interacting with everyone? Visual presence by police on foot is needed to prevent these thugs from taking over the downtown core. That is the only answer. J.V.N. Campbell Kamloops
STONE CREATING CONFUSION, UNCERTAINTY Editor: Re: (‘Stone talks PR vote’, Sept. 22): Politics is about power, but should the power be to the people or the politicians? The 40=60=100 formula often means an elected dictatorship. Is Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone fearful of losing the easy way to total power? Is he raising voters’ fears and pandering to them?
Proportional representation can give more local representation as the voter is able to vote for more candidates from a wider selection of those running for office. In one form of PR, an elected candidate’s excess votes are transferred to other candidates, but only within the riding, never to a candidate in another riding. PR gives power to the people wherever they are.
Is democracy not supposed to be about giving voice to the voters whereever they are? PR means more engagement. A voting system does not create extremists. Extremism is a moral, ethical and cultural problem enhanced by fear. As Maclean’s magazine stated in its October edition: “An informed, engaged citizenry is democracy’s best defence against
political extremism.” In B.C., the Yes side has to convince people PR is a superior system. The No side has to create enough confusion and uncertainty that voters reject the Yes side’s presentation. Creating confusion and uncertainty is what Stone is doing. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Ray Jones Kamloops
MUSIC IN THE PARK STRUCK JUST THE RIGHT NOTE Editor: A big thank you to the City of Kamloops and the BCLC for funding and presenting Music in the Park this past summer. My wife and I recently moved to Kamloops from a major centre and

counts of attempted murder. His four-day preliminary inquiry began on Monday in Kamloops provincial court. Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy said she plans to call 11 police witnesses during the hearing. Evidence heard at preliminary inquiries is bound by a mandatory court-ordered ban on publication. Caron was arrested at about 4 a.m. on Oct. 28, 2017, at the culmination of a 17-hour

At the time, investigators said they attempted to make contact with the suspect before he threatened to shoot them. Speaking to reporters following the incident, then-RCMP Supt.

Mueller said police followed the vehicle to the Mount Paul Industrial Park area, on the Tk’emlups reserve, where the suspect is alleged to have engaged police in multiple exchanges of gunfire. Mueller said the suspect then retreated to his home in the G&M Trailer Park alongside Highway 5 North, across from Sun Rivers. Police secured the area and Caron was eventually arrested.

Manager: storage space popular with homeless STAFF REPORTER
FACILITY ACROSS FROM CITY HALL IS SEEING MORE USE AS WORD ON THE STREET SPREADS AND RULES ARE TWEAKED
Better signage, looser rules and word of mouth are being credited for increased use of a storage facility for the homeless in downtown Kamloops. Mini-storage facility co-ordinator Chris Butcher said 53 of 65 bins at the facility are now in use.
“They like it,” Butcher told KTW. “It’s very convenient.” The facility opened in April at 48 West Victoria St., across from city hall, as part of a partnership between the City of Kamloops and the Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Society.
JESSICA WALLACE jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
It offers a place to store belongings and features harmreduction equipment, cellphone charging, needle disposal and an address for those who need a place to collect their mail. A community nurse drops in on Fridays between 1 p.m. and
2 p.m. to conduct private consultations with the homeless. It took some time for people to start using the facility when it first opened, Butcher said, noting it takes time to get the word out to the homeless via word of mouth. “The clientele that
we’re dealing with, the homeless, street people, they don’t look at notices,” he said. Signage has also increased, with a sandwich board placed in front of the building when it is open. The rules have also been slightly tweaked to make the service
more convenient. While people were initially required to check in every three days, they now have seven days to do so. “It was changed because it was inconvenient,” Butcher said. “Everyone’s walking around. It’s not like Vancouver, where you have to check in every day.” Some people have left town and stored

Candidate
Q&As
KTW is querying the candidates on your behalf. Each Wednesday between now and Oct. 20’s civic election, we will publish their answers to specific questions. Nearly all of the 33 people seeking election in mayoral, council and school trustee races are taking part and their answers are on these two pages.
KEN CHRISTIAN mayoral candidate (i) I will continue to make sure the tax rate does not exceed the rate of inflation and I will continue to ensure taxpayers are getting timely and efficient services for their hard-earned tax contributions. It is more that picking a number. It is about analyzing the evidence and cost pressures in any given budget cycle and making choices and setting priorities. We need to challenge staff to find operating efficiencies.
NICHOLAS ADAMS council candidate Cost goes up for everyone and municipal governments are not immune. I would welcome low to no property tax increases; however, the reality of rising costs necessitates tax increases to maintain services. A comprehensive review of city spending and the implementation of cost-reduction strategies should be used to keep tax increases as low as possible while maintaining the services we all rely on.
DONOVAN CAVERS council candidate (i) Unless the federal government and the Bank of Canada bring the inflation rate down below 2 per cent, the municipality will need to match that rate to be able to maintain the same quality of community services we enjoy today. Accolades for keeping to only two per cent is primarily a result of staff efforts. Research other similar-sized cities in B.C. if you disagree.
DIETER DUDY council candidate (i) Nobody is ever comfortable with a tax increase. That breeds complacency. It would be ideal to not have to increase taxes, but it would also likely be impractical. As long as the prices of goods and services increase, so will our demand for more funding. Our primary funding source is taxation and it is used largely to pay for the everyday needs of the city. We could eliminate tax increases by eliminating costs. The trick is which ones would the public like us to cut?
SADIE HUNTER council candidate Taxpayers (rightly) want to know how their tax dollars are spent and what their dollar-to-service value ratio is year-to-year. The only way to find this out is by reviewing what constitutes core services. Core reviews have gained in popularity across B.C. and come down to asking three questions: What is city business? How are we going to do it? How can we do it better? The first step in finding out where we can spend less lies in answering these three questions.

VERBAL BOUTS!
KEN CHRISTIAN
vs. WILLIAM TURNBULL
COUNCIL/MAYORAL: The residential property tax increase in Kamloops has been
about 2 per cent per year for the past decade. Are you comfortable with that annual hike? If not, what can be done to reduce it? SCHOOL TRUSTEE: SD73 has been asking for capital funding from Victoria for many years. As a trustee, what can you do to expedite the process?
Some answers have been edited for length and style. Candidates’ full answers can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Incumbents marked with “i.”
WILLIAM TURNBULL mayoral candidate The rate of inflation for 2017 was 1.6 per cent. Based on that, a two per cent tax increase seems reasonable.
JENNIFER DAWN ADAMS council candidate I do not think that taxes need to be raised every year when our population is increasing, building permits are at an all-time high and income from fees and licensing is adding income to the city. Core reviews and staff-efficiency reviews will help determine how much is spent, where it is spent and the effectiveness of the departments within the organization. Building up a surplus is fine, but we should not sit on a huge surplus slush fund and still increase taxes.
DALE BASS council candidate
CHRIS BOSE council candidate
People want improved services, but they cost money. One way to stay within the two per cent area would be to grow the source of tax revenue — attract more businesses to the city. That would bring more jobs, more families, more Kamloopsians sharing the load. But to do that, city hall has to change its focus on business development to include a true understanding of what major employers and young entrepreneurs want to see for their business ventures.
I cannot have an opinion on the tax hike at this time. It feels like the tax hike of two per cent is misleading. Are they talking about increasing the tax rate by two per cent? Or are they talking about increasing last year’s bill by two per cent? The increase in property values has resulted in significantly higher tax bills for property owners. In 2017, the city collected $108,712,000 in property taxes compared to $90,488,277 in 2012. Has there been a 20 per cent increase in city expenses?
CORALLY DELWO council candidate I don’t think anyone likes to see tax increases. However, tax hikes have to coincide with inflation and the costs of doing business. I do think the new city council needs to take more time and consideration with budgets and spending money on large projects. Projects need to come in on budget and on time and need to be beneficial to the entire city. When they don’t, someone needs to be held accountable.
DENNIS GIESBRECHT council candidate The goal of council must always be value for the taxpayers’ money. My three-step approach I believe can improve on the current spending. We must engage frontline staff to get feedback on improvements. They are the ones doing the day-to-day jobs and will know how to improve the processes. We must reach out and examine best practices used by other municipalities. We must also embrace efficiency opportunities available through technologies.
STEPHEN KARPUK council candidate I am OK with two per cent as it is less than other communities. We need to live within our means and be mindful of our taxpayers.
DECISION ’18 minute
THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONS
RAY DHALIWAL council candidate (i) No answer provided by press deadline.
SHAWN HARNETT council candidate I would be in favour of property tax hikes on some occasions, but not when it becomes a standard every single year. I would want to address this and see a year with no increase, then re-evaluate the next year.
ALISON KLIE council candidate I do not mind tax increases if the money goes to areas where the city will see meaningful and positive results. I would like to see tax money go toward more public projects and better funding for public services, which will provide good jobs and growth for Kamloops. I believe in spending money to get the job done properly the first time, like fixing our roads and potholes so we don’t have to fix them again a year later.

LOCAL NEWS CAROLINE KING council candidate The projected two per cent property tax hike is below the provincial average and so that’s something to be pleased with. I think the focus of council should always be to reduce spending in an attempt to keep taxes fair for all Kamloopsians.
BILL SARAI council candidate I would like to keep it below two per cent. We do have an aging infrastructure that needs to be maintained and upgraded. If we can attract small, medium and large businesses with their business tax base coming to Kamloops as revenue, this will help keep our residential tax base lower. This would be a good time to do a City of Kamloops operations core review as no one is aware of when the last one was done.
DENIS WALSH council candidate (i) I feel responsible, effective spending is critical in an effort to lower tax rates and I am working hard to find areas where the city can be more efficient, spend money responsibly and find additional sources of revenue to help offset tax increases. I believe in maintaining the quality of our services and, in cases like snow removal, improvements can and should be realized. Council needs to know what is currently effective and where improvements can be found.
BOWEN COOLURIS school trustee candidate My biggest concern is that SD73 is getting left behind. As a trustee, it will be my job to advocate for the district and hold the provincial government accountable. I’m reasonable enough to understand any type of re-allocation is difficult and the process takes time, but as a team, we need to ensure SD73 is front and centre in the eyes of the provincial government.
KATHLEEN KARPUK school trustee candidate (i) School districts that have been successful in securing capital funding have been partnered in their lobbying efforts by their local community. SD73 needs more support from city council, parent groups and individual citizens to put pressure on the provincial government to raise the profile for the need for additions and new schools. The Valleyview capital campaign was an effort to provide information to our community and our elected partners.
KERRI SCHILL school trustee candidate Building connections and getting our educational stakeholders on board is key. We need to collaborate with city council, the school board, MLAs, community leaders and local business leaders. We need to involve their partner groups and the community as a whole. With 60 school districts in B.C., we need to be the voice of SD73.
JIMMY JOHAL council candidate
MIKE O’REILLY council candidate
I’m not comfortable with tax increases. They should be a last resort. It’s especially hard on people with fixed incomes and minimum-wage workers and those with salary freezes for years. This is on top of all the other increases in the cost of living people have to deal with, so yearly tax increases are just not sustainable. The city needs to have a third-party review of all programs and services so we can find savings through innovations and efficiencies.
Simply put, the tax increase is not only two per cent per year. What is not included in this number are multiple other “fee increases,” including recreation fees for children and seniors and recycling, garbage and parking rates. I will fight to keep fee increases in all city-owned facilities to a bare minimum. I will propose staff investigate a new rate structure where people that live within city boundaries receive a discounted rate at city-owned facilities.
ARJUN SINGH council candidate (i) I’ve long been a strong advocate for the city to keep taxes as low as possible and to be as efficient with tax dollars as possible. There is broad community support and desire for the many amenities Kamloops offers. In my view, Kamloopsians broadly support tax increases of up to two per cent. Most of city budget consultations have citizens asking for more, not less. My focus is making sure city permitting and regulations are as fair as possible to businesses.
GERALD WATSON council candidate No. The city is overdue for a core review and an outside efficiency analysis.
HEATHER GRIEVE school trustee candidate As a trustee, I would propose and support measures that lead to maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Capital funding is based on formulas that looks at enrolment and subsequent formulas related to aging of buildings and equipment. As a trustee, I would try to work with the board to draw attention to its increasing capital funding needs above and beyond the operating budget.
BEAT KLOSSNER school trustee candidate There has been a lack of appropriate funding for about two decades. More than just asking or hoping the province will provide the needed funding, school districts should demand it. They have a job to do and it is the duty of the province to provide the resources to do that work. There are 60 school districts in B.C. and we have all to work and speak as one voice in order to put more pressure on the province.
JOE SMALL school trustee candidate (i) SD73 is one of the largest districts in the province. With that in mind, when Victoria looks at our enrolment numbers, they look at the whole and what they see is that we do have space in our schools, but unfortunately that space is located in our rural communities. As a school board, we need to get Victoria to look specifically at the enrolment pressures in the City of Kamloops.
KATHY SINCLAIR council candidate (i) There’s a cost to maintaining current services and adding new ones. That is why we see residential property tax increases. These services include contractual obligations for firefighting, policing and staffing. Does anyone want to see a decrease in those essential services? Contracts can’t be easily changed, but we can accelerate debt payments to help avoid large tax increases. The city’s directors are continually challenging their staff to cut costs and find ways to save money.
DONOVAN CAVERS school trustee candidate If elected as one of your school trustees on Oct. 20, I will immediately reach out to school trustees in all regions of the province to co-ordinate efforts to ensure Education Minister Rob Fleming and his ministry officials understand the dire need for enhanced investments in education.
ADAM JENSEN school trustee candidate I would speed up capital funding from Victoria through thoughtful conversations with the education minister, students, teachers, support staff, administration and PACs to decide on a project to focus on — a project that has the potential to rectify a specific issue that benefits the maximum number of students in the area.
JOHN O’FEE school trustee candidate Many residents mistakenly believe the property taxes they pay help fund school renovation and construction costs. In fact, all the funds required to plan and construct schools come directly from our provincial government. This makes it vital for elected trustees to work with other community leaders to convince Victoria to fund needed improvements.
MEGHAN WADE school trustee candidate (i) Once a district is asked to complete a project development report (PDR), the district has entered the queue for funding. SD73 will be submitting its PDR for Valleyview secondary later this month. Now the only actions one can take are to remain in communication with staff from the Ministry of Education, which district staff is doing, and with the minister’s office, which I am doing.

Don’t expect to run into Denis Walsh at a chamber of commerce social or Rotary meeting. He’s more likely to be found hanging around the Kamloops Farmers’ Market, involved in issues related to the downtown or discussing with residents topics that come up at city hall. “I’m not part of what I would call the classic fraternity in our city,” Walsh said. The 64-year-old incumbent city councillor is seeking re-election on Oct. 20, vying for his third term around the horseshoe at city hall. Walsh said the “connected” business community is well-represented on council. He instead aims to represent small business people and residents
Forum has seniors’ focus A former Kamloops city councillor will be hosting a seniors allcandidates election forum at lunchtime on Monday, Oct. 15. Nancy Bepple has organized similar events in elections past and said it will focus on issues important to the city’s elderly. The event will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. at Desert Gardens, which is located at 540 Seymour St. downtown.

who he said don’t have as large of a voice. “I see myself as representing the smaller voice,” he said. “Giving it an opportunity to be at the table.” The self-described introvert with lots of energy took a break from council after his first term from 2008 to 2011, but ran again in 2014 due to his inability to sit on the sidelines with certain issues percolating, such as the closure of Stuart Wood elementary, the sale of the old CN Station on Lorne Street to a Kelowna developer for $1 and the contentious Ajax mine proposal. “I disagreed with
some of the decisions that council was making,” Walsh said. Walsh said he is running again for a seat on council because he cares, wants to be part of the community and, even if he wasn’t on council, noted he would still be active with community issues. He sees the performing-arts centre debate returning to council and would be in favour of a hybrid ward system in Kamloops, with two councillors each from the North Shore and South Shore, with the other four positions elected at large. “It’s better to have a seat at the table and represent people in the community,” he said. Asked to evaluate council, Walsh said it works well as a team, despite having differences. He said he is proud of convincing his fellow
councillors to continue a tax exemption for Desert Gardens, the lone seniors’ centre downtown. “I was glad that I spoke up about it,” he said. “Again, if you’re not on that day, it’s easy to let these things slide. I was glad that I was paying attention. I did the research, I talked to Desert Gardens and got it from their position and looked at it from the city’s position. All that stuff takes time, right?” Walsh said he can afford that time, with the luxury of being semi-retired and not having to work day-today in his businesses.

SD73 candidate forum dates set MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops voters will have two opportunities this month to do their homework on which school trustee candidates they want on the board of education for the next four years. An all-candidates forum will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. at St. Andrew’s on the Square at Seymour Street and Second Avenue. KTW editor Christopher Foulds will moderate. Incumbent trustee and candidate Kathleen Karpuk said she decided
CITY HALL SD73 TNRD
CIVIC ELECTION Oct. 20, 2018
to host one of the forums because, as there are two vacated Kamloops seats up for grabs, she wants to give people the opportunity to have a debate and express their platforms to the public. “Trustees very often get sidelined. We don’t get as much attention as the municipal candidates,” Karpuk said. Another forum, hosted by the District Parent
Advisory Committee (DPAC), will take place at the Henry Grube Education Centre on Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 7 p.m. Radio NL news director Shane Woodford will moderate. The Henry Grube Education Centre is at 245 Kitchener Cres. on the North Shore. Both forums will feature the 10 candidates running for the five city trustee seats and include opening and closing statements and questions from the public. Three incumbent candidates serving rural areas on the nine-member board
have been acclaimed — Shelley Sim in Area 2 (North Thompson), Rhonda Kershaw in Area 3 (Barriere/Little Fort) and Area 5 (Logan Lake) representative Cara McKelvey. Three longtime trustees — Joan Cowden, Denise Harper and Gerald Watson — chose not to seek re-election. Cowden and Watson were trustees for Kamloops, while Harper was the representative of Area 4 (Chase and Sun Peaks). Diane Jules and Caroline Thompson are seeking to succeed Harper. The election is on Saturday, Oct. 20.

Small wants to right wrongs on SD73 board MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Joe Small wants a better reputation for the Kamloops-Thompson board of education. That’s why if the incumbent school trustee from Sahali is granted a second term in the Oct. 20 civic election, he wants the board of education to work on “righting wrongs,” such as revisiting the decision it made last spring to move to a one-week spring break. Small said the board passed the motion despite survey results showing the majority of district employees and the public were in favour of a two-week spring break. “There are 60 districts in the province and two of them only have a oneweek spring break,” Small said. He said SD73 needs a board that is willing to make changes and work with its employee groups on decisions such as spring break. Small also wants to educate the province on the unique enrolment challenges facing the district when seeking capital funding. “We’re the size of Belgium,” Small
said of the school district’s geographical size. He said Kamloops must be seen as a unique entity within the district because that is where the enrolment issues are, arguing it’s not reasonable to bus students from an overcrowded Valleyview secondary to Chase or Barriere. As a former teacher in Manitoba and Fraser Lake and as a former administrator in SD73, Small said he brings a wealth of experience to the board. In Kamloops between the 1990s and 2000s, he served once as vice-principal and four times as principal, all in elementary schools until he retired in 2013. “In 2014, I felt that my educational contribution to Kamloops wasn’t over yet and I was elected,” Small said, noting his intention was always to seek more than one term. “The first term is always like a learning term and I’ve learned a lot,” he said. If elected, Small said, he would be the only trustee with a background as a teacher now that Joan Cowden has chosen not to seek re-election. Contact Small by email at jpsmall@ telus.net.
My husband, Raymond and I have been blessed to live in many locations throughout Alberta and BC but there is no place more beautiful than the Thompson Okanagan.

Mental health among Karpuk’s priorities MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
An ever-changing education system and her three kids is why Kathleen Karpuk is seeking a fourth term on the KamloopsThompson school board. “Education’s a pretty rapidly shifting field right now, especially within our district,” Karpuk said, citing increasing enrolment, the use of technology and the new critical thinking-based curriculum as examples. If elected in the Oct. 20 civic election, the incumbent school trustee from Brocklehurst hopes to encourage the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health to have mental-health counsellors working directly within high schools. She said this would ensure youth who develop issues have direct access to services in the same place they spend the majority of their day. “Currently, the counsellors in our schools are guidance counsellors and, although they have some training to deal with that, they are not mental-health professionals,” Karpuk said. She said there are psychologists on staff, but noted they are trained to deal with

learning and behaviour disabilities and don’t focus on other areas, such as anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. Continued improvement of the Aboriginal graduation rate is something Karpuk said she wants to continue to grow. She said the gap was once as low as 20 per cent of the overall rate, but the latest stats show it’s just six per cent behind. Karpuk credits that improvement to the hiring of a completion co-ordinator who examines the reasons why high schoolers didn’t graduate and works with them to ensure they cross the stage in June. “My hope and dream is by the time my kids graduate, that parity isn’t just something that we’ve accomplished once or twice, but that’s normal,” she said. Karpuk, 46, works as the office manager for her husband’s chiropractic clinic in Aberdeen. She earned a bachelor of science from Cariboo College and most recently has been training to become a

VANCOUVER — Final approval for a massive liquefied natural gas project in northern British Columbia shows that major resource projects can be built in the province, the CEO of LNG Canada said Tuesday. The future of major energy projects in British Columbia has been at the centre of a debate because of the provincial NDP government’s opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline. But Andy Calitz said the LNG plant that’s planned for Kitimat and a 670-kilometre pipeline delivering natural gas from the northeast corner of the province shows the way forward. “It validates the reality that in B.C. projects can be done if it is done in the right way when it comes to resource development through a process of building relationship before we
build the project,” he said. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the project is an example of his often repeated position that exporting Canada’s energy resources is possible while also protecting the environment. “We can’t build energy projects like we did in the old days, where the environment and the economy were seen as opposing forces,” said Trudeau. “In the 21st century, we don’t have to choose between a healthy environment and a strong economy. They must go together.” The five partners in the LNG project have agreed to a $40-billion joint venture. Trudeau said the amount being spent is the largest single investment by the private sector in Canadian history. The partners — Royal Dutch Shell, Mitsubishi Corp., the Malaysian-owned Petronas,
PetroChina Co. and Korean Gas Corp. — delayed the final investment decision in 2016, citing a drop in natural gas prices. Each company will be responsible to provide its own natural gas supply and will individually market its share of liquefied natural gas. The first liquefied natural gas is expected to be shipped before the middle of the next decade. Calitz said the project received support from the B.C. government, local First Nations and the Kitimat community — and LNG Canada is ready to proceed with construction. Premier John Horgan said the project will help a region of the province that needs jobs. “This is a generational opportunity for northern British Columbia, one that could not be passed up,” he said.
But provincial Green party leader Andrew Weaver called the announcement a “profound disappointment.” “Adding such a massive new source of [greenhouse gases] means that the rest of our economy will have to make even more sacrifices to meet our climate targets. A significant portion of the LNG Canada investment will be spent on a plant manufactured overseas, with steel sourced from other countries,” he said in a statement. “B.C. taxpayers will subsidize its power by paying rates twice as high and taking on the enormous public debt required to build Site C. There may be as little as 100 permanent jobs at LNG Canada. I believe we can create far more jobs in other industries that won’t drastically increase our emissions.”

DIG IT: The archaeology of salmon fishing JOANNE HAMMOND republicofarchaeology.ca
As the salmon race up the Fraser and Thompson rivers and back to their natal streams, fishers take to the waters all over B.C.’s Interior to secure their catch. They’re part of a tradition practised here since time out of mind. And, as Indigenous people have learned over thousands of years, what you catch depends on where, and how, you catch it. In the past as now, fishing gear was tailored to specific environments and objectives. The kinds of artifacts and features left behind in the archeological record can help reconstruct how people exploited particular places and how their practices change over time. For example, fishing weirs constructed of woven wooden fences or layered stones were built across shallow river beds, where fish could be counted on to appear in great numbers. The effort required to build and maintain these trapping systems suggests large groups shared both the intense labour and the larger harvest of fish. These weir and trap sites can still be identified by geometric alignments of stones and stakes visible as the river levels drop. In other kinds of settings, different kinds of equipment were used. In deep, swift moving water, a dipnet technique was (and remains) common. A dipnet consists of a long, strong pole
fitted with a bag-shaped net on the end. In pre-contact times, the nets were made of plant fibres (split rose root and Indian hemp were common locally) and fastened with sinew. While a rare find due to decomposition of organic materials over time, archeologists have found examples of these handles and netting where they’ve been preserved under water or mud. We also might find bone needles used to make and mend nets. In calmer back eddies and pools, where fish move more slowly and are visible, a long wooden spear could be used to impale the prey. Special fishing spears called leisters are associated with this practice. These spearheads are fitted with twin barbed points set in a v-shape spreading from the end of the spear. A smaller bone or stone spear tip in the middle stabs the fish, while the barbed flanges hold it fast. Because the composite tools are made of many small parts lashed together with organic fibres that decay, archeologists often only find a few pieces. They must then work to reconstruct the technology, looking to modern gear as examples. On Interior lakes through which the spawning fish pass, other methods were practised. Near the shore, night fishing from canoes was effective. Here, small fires built on platforms lured the fish close to boats, where they were netted or speared. In deeper waters, set nets
were used much like today’s purse seiners, but on a smaller scale. Archeological evidence for this type of fisheries includes carved or perforated stones used as net weights and, occasionally, wooden net floats or even fragments of the nets themselves. On shored near these fishing settings, archeologists often find corroborating evidence of artifacts and features related to fish processing: salmon bones, rocks distinctively cracked by the fires built for smoking fish or extracting their oils, small thin fish knives for filleting or open-work basketry used to transport the haul. These varied fishing technologies developed over millennia, as people observed the various ways salmon move through different habitats at different times of year. Many of these methods are the basis of today’s modern fishing gear, both recreational and commercial, showing us how ancient traditional knowledge lives on through the ages.

What piece of art did you buy?
What do you like best about your artwork?
CONNECTION 5
I like everything about it. The size, shapes, tones and overall abstract feel to it really stood out to me right from the beginning. As soon as I saw this piece of artwork at Timeraiser, I knew I had to do what I could to get it.
What organization(s) did you volunteer with to pay for your art? 1. Elizabeth Fry Society (Kamloops) 2. Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association 3. Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak 4. United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo 5. Pit Stop 6. Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (Kamloops)
What do you like best about the organization you volunteered for? This is a tough question to answer! Each charity and organization has their own best qualities, so by having the ability to volunteer at different ones I was able to enjoy different aspects of governance, advocacy, fundraising and hands on work. My most memorable experiences were: helping to develop 2nd Stage Housing for Elizabeth Fry Society, participating in Ribfest with Daybreak Rotary, fundraising and presenting financial awards for smaller charities with United Way GenNext and working in a team environment to serve food to a marginalized population with Pit Stop.
What do you like about the Timeraiser event? I learned a lot attending Timeraiser. The social setting allowed me to get to know each non profit organization and learn more about the great work that is being done in our community. Additionally, I thought the concept of volunteer hours to pay for art was a great idea which brought in a lot of like minded individuals and made the event fun to participate in.

A beaming smile was followed by tears as Vicky Stancik saw her new set of wheels. “I’m having such a hard time talking — I’m just so happy,” she said. “It’s just amazing that people are just so nice in this town.” On a rainy morning at Franco’s Auto Services in downtown Kamloops, a 2008 Pontiac was generously gifted to Stancik by an anonymous donor after her vehicle was stolen last month. Stancik’s four-door Saturn was taken after she dropped her son, Jamie, at the South Kamloops group home, where he lives. She wanted to be sure he settled into his room before she left. Jamie, who was born with one leg and has ongoing health issues,
became agitated while Stancik was inside and the 56-year-old Kamloops mother ended up spending the night at the request of staff. Unfortunately, she left her keys in the ignition of her car and the next morning, the vehicle and
Jamie’s wheelchair, which was in the trunk, was gone. The situation caused significant stress for Stancik because money has been tight as of late. She has been out of work for the last few months, living off of savings and income assistance.
She even considered selling her gold-trimmed china to purchase a new car. That’s when her luck changed. A Kamloops resident read the story about Stancik’s plight in KTW and contacted the newspaper to lend a hand. The resident bought the 2008 Pontiac and will cover the costs for a new wheelchair — all on the condition of anonymity. Franco Annicchiarico, president of Franco’s Auto Services, got involved and helped choose the vehicle for Stancik. Annicchiarico ensured the vehicle was in good working order, donated a set of winter tires,

which will be installed for free, and paid the first six months of insurance. Annicchiarico and Stancik embraced with a big hug at his shop. “Any problem, just come and see us and we’ll look after it for free,” Annicchiarico told Stancik. Annicchiarico is a longtime Kamloops businessman who said he enjoys giving back to the community that’s been so good to him over the years. “It’s absolutely beautiful,” Stancik said, looking through the windows of the Pontiac. “It looks like it’s brand new.” To the anonymous benefactor who bought the car, Stancik said: “My son and I are ever so grateful. We would like to say thank you from the bottom of our heart. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.”

United Way focusing on issues JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo wants to raise funds this year for issues it says can no longer be ignored in the community — namely the opioid crisis, homelessness, isolated seniors and hungry children. The organization launched its fundraising campaign on Friday morning during its annual kickoff breakfast at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. Attendees were told this year’s campaign will be centred around those issues and “local love.” “We’re making a conscious effort this year with these themes to see people,” United Way fundraising volunteer Katie Neustaeter told businesses, non-profits and dignitaries. United Way executive director Danalee Baker said the organization is working toward a fundraising goal of $2.7 million this year. It had raised about $370,000 between April and last Friday’s breakfast. The United Way also hopes to fund an additional 115 Starfish Backpacks, a program that sees bags filled with food and given to students in need each Friday throughout the school year. Kamloops principals identified and brought forward a list of kids who would benefit from the program. The Kamloops Food Bank provides the food and a group of volunteers stuffs the bags on Friday mornings, before they are transported to

schools and handed out to kids. With help from the United Way, the program was launched by Thompson Rivers University’s former vice-president of advancement Christopher Seguin, who died of a fentanyl overdose last year. The program continues in his memory. Baker said the costs associated with food for the entire school year, as well as food for Christmas holidays and summer months, is $600 per backpack. Essentially, the United Way needs to raise $69,000 to help those 115 kids. It got a head start on Friday morning, with companies such as Tolko ($2,000) and Arpa Investments ($5,000) stepping up and opening their wallets. “How can we choose who doesn’t get it?” Baker said. “So we said, ‘We’re gonna go for it!’” Others at the breakfast tossed bills and change into red solo cups on their break-

SNOW JOKE — SUMMER IS OVER
Construction crews in Aberdeen awoke on Tuesday morning to face the city’s first snowfall of the season. Single-digit temperatures and a fierce wind combined for a cold day, but the forecast is encouraging. Environment Canada is calling for sunshine and cloudy periods from Wednesday through the weekend, with highs ranging from 10 C to 13 C. The white stuff, which fell at higher elevations in Kamloops, including Aberdeen and Juniper Heights, is a reminder that winter tires are now mandatory on many British Columbia highways. Drivers must equip their vehicles with winter tires if they plan to travel on the Coquihalla Highway, the Okanagan Connector and other highways in the North, in the Interior, on the South Coast and on Vancouver Island. Drivers without the proper winter tires in good condition driving on designated B.C. highways can receive a fine of $109. Winter tire regulations began on Oct. 1 and end on March 31 on many highways; however, the regulations have been extended to April 30, 2019, on rural highways and select mountain passes, including the Coquihalla, to account for early spring snowfall.
Kamloops will be the testing ground for a new medication that could potentially halt the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. The local chapter of the Medical Arts Health Research Group has been awarded a contract to research a new medication for the memory-destroying disease. Volunteers who have concerns about their memory loss or who have been recently diagnosed with memory loss are being sought to participate in the study. Donna Benson, CEO and Founder of Medical Arts Health Research Group said she could not name the drug company the clinical research team is working for, but did note patients will be informed. The medication being tested is approved by Health Canada for use in a trial and will be taken either via injection or administered orally. “Some people prefer an injection because then they don’t have to remember to take a pill,” Benson said. Instead of treating symptoms, Benson said the medication is “diseasealtering,” addressing the origin of the disorder to hopefully stop its progression. This is the area of focus for currentday Alzheimer’s research, she told KTW. “There are no disease-modifying drugs on the market yet,” Benson said. Medications currently available treat the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease by improving brain function, but they don’t stop the disease from progressing. If the tests in Kamloops produce the desired results, the new medication would stop that decline in brain function — but it wouldn’t be a cure for the disease. Benson said a cure would involve
reversing the progression of the disease. Eligible patients for the Kamloops study must be in stable health in order to best test the effect of the drug. While not everyone will qualify to participate in the study, Benson said it will be good for prospective patients to, at the very least, receive the screening as that information will be sent to their family doctors. Patients who do qualify for the study will receive an MRI and PET scan at no cost, along with all study-related medications. They will also be reimbursed for any travel and accommodation expenses. “When you’re part of a research study, you get all that extra attention and testing and you’re helping make advances for hopefully yourself and whoever’s coming behind you,” Benson said. The research team of about 10 involves nurses and doctors, Benson said, noting such studies are usually awarded to teams in major centres. “What’s cool is that we’ve got that expertise in Kamloops,” she said. The local team has been conducting research on another disease-modifying Alzheimer’s study, while a third study may be granted to the team in about five weeks. Established in 2002, the Medical Arts Health Research Group conducts clinical and psycho-social studies for residents of the Kootenays, South Okanagan, Central Okanagan, Kamloops and Vancouver areas. Its outpatient studies are conducted in a broad range of therapeutic areas, including Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high cholesterol and schizophrenia.

Also preserved was Chapter 20, the government-to-government dispute-settlement mechanism. Also unchanged from the original NAFTA is Canada’s cultural-exemptions clause that excludes cultural institutions from being treated like other products and services, a rule that protects Canadian media outlets from being purchased by U.S. interests. For Canada, Chapter 19 was important because, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau argued, there needs to be some rules for settling disputes when dealing with the current U.S. president. In exchange, however, Canada made concessions that include increasing the quota on foreign imports into its dairy market and other supply-managed sectors, giving American farmers more access to the Canadian market. The concessions also trickle down to B.C. specifically as the province will be required to eliminate its rule allowing only B.C. wines on grocery store shelves by Nov. 1, 2019, which means shoppers visiting the Sahali Save-On-Foods store in Kamloops will soon see wine from the U.S. and other countries sitting next to vino from local wineries. McLeod believes the B.C. wine industry can withstand the competition. “Canada and B.C. wines can compete with the best,” McLeod said. “As a consumer, it doesn’t trouble me. It will be interesting to see what the industry thinks.” KTW is awaiting a call back from the
Kamloops Wineries Association. In a press release, Premier John Horgan and Minister of Jobs, Trade and Technology Bruce Ralston said the province agreed to amend the measure, describing the policy as “a problem that we were going to have to fix.” The province said it plans to work with the Canadian government to resolve it in a manner that best protects the B.C. wine industry. When the previous B.C. Liberal government introduced the B.C.-only wine provision in grocery stores, international trade challenges sprung up in the U.S. and Australia. Imported wine was previously required to be sold through a “store within a store” model in grocery stores. Knaak said what will impact Kamloops businesses most from the new deal is what’s missing from it, noting United States steel tariffs have not been addressed. Steel tariffs and the expired softwood lumber agreement remain untouched after the USMCA announcement. On Monday, Trump said America’s 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum imposed on Canada and Mexico will remain in place until a solution can be worked out. “As far as items that impact our industry locally, that’s a big one,” Knaak said, noting he has heard rebar costs are up 50 per cent, which impacts consumers and anyone building housing. Both the province and the BC Lumber Trade Council issued statements applauding the fact the renewed trade agreement
maintains the dispute-resolution mechanism from NAFTA, describing it as an essential mechanism for challenging U.S. tariffs on Canadian softwood. BC Lumber Trade Council president Susan Yurkovich said the duties that remain imposed by the U.S. Department of Commerce on Canadian softwood lumber punish consumers and workers on both sides of the border and finding a resolution to the softwood lumber dispute must remain a key priority. Preservation of Chapter 19 is a plus, Knaak said, adding he hopes Canadian concessions on the auto and dairy sectors will lead to an end to the U.S. “playing hardball” on the softwood lumber agreement. Canadian dairy farmers panned the renegotiated deal, saying it will undercut the industry by limiting exports and opening up the market to more American products. Dairy Farmers of Canada issued a statement saying the deal would grant U.S. dairy producers an expanded 3.6 per cent market access to the domestic dairy market and eliminate competitive dairy classes, which the group says will shrink the Canadian industry. “This has happened, despite assurances that our government would not sign a bad deal for Canadians,’’ said Pierre Lampron, the organization’s president. “We fail to see how this deal can be good for the 220,000 Canadian families that depend on dairy for their livelihood.’’ KTW has called to Blackwell Dairy Farm in Barnhartvale and is awaiting a response.
The Fear of Missing Out Kids often want to have the latest and greatest gadget and are often motivated by The Fear of Missing out also known as FOMO. Lately, it seems many investors have the same affliction when it comes to cannabis stocks. The cannabis industry has been nothing short of spectacular to watch with lofty evaluations and a roller coaster ride. Because stories are circulating about quick and easy profits, people are eager to follow suit and invest. We would like to highlight a few key points. Levels of Risk Investment risk typically factors complexity, liquidity, volatility and the potential for loss. Risk can be categorized into 4 groups: low, medium, high or speculative. The cannabis industry is still in its infancy and in our opinion should be considered high risk to speculative. What portion of your portfolio are you willing to allocate to the potential for not just gains, but significant losses? For example, on September 19th, Tilray (TLRY) shares rally, were halted five times and peaked at $300. Two days later, they plunged 59% to $123. Over 30 million shares changed hands in one day, trading as much volume as Amazon, a company worth nearly a trillion dollars.
Risk is not limited to the cannabis industry. Bitcoin was the rage in 2017, peaking at $19,187 USD on December 16th. At the time of writing and according to bitcointicker.co it now trades around $6,604 for an incredible 66% drop.
Essentially, the stock market trades based on the expectations for future profits. One could conclude that Canopy Growth is expected to grow sales and profitability at an incredible rate. The danger is if a stock misses expectations, it typically sells off violently.
No one expected to lose in the dot.com bubble of 2000 when internet and technology stocks were all the hype. By November 2000, the tech wreck hit. According to Wikipedia, most internet stocks had declined in value by 75% from their highs, wiping out $1.755 trillion in value.
Have a plan The danger in jumping into anything without a plan often leaves one vulnerable to emotional decisions. We find most investors have not thought about: multiple entry points, exit plan, basis for expected returns. As a suggestion, if you are successful in choosing a winner, you could sell your initial investment leaving only the profits invested.
Sky High Evaluations We believe in fundamental analysis which is a technique that attempts to determine a security's value by focusing on factors such as sales, earning, debt, other financial ratios and qualitative factors. It is hard to quantify the value of the industry, let alone a company. According to Thompson Reuters, Canopy Growth (WEED) is currently valued at over $14 billion but has yet to generate one dollar in earnings. Here are a few comparable that help illustrate "fundamental" differences: Company

Banned from US Entry This is a contentious space and subject to government interference. Presently in the US, only 30 states allow cannabis for medical applications and a mere 9 permit recreational use. Because the US border is regulated federally, cannabis is illegal and repercussions can be severe. There have been reports of Canadians who own cannabis stocks getting banned entry to the US... permanently. The same goes for those who admit to having used cannabis in the past, or get caught lying about it. See travel.gc.ca for more details. There will be winners and losers in the cannabis space. We are not saying investors can't make money, but encourage you to do your research, know the risks and when in doubt, consult a professional. Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

STRIFE, SEPARATION AND THE LONG WAY HOME DARLINGTON MURASIRANWA’S INCREDIBLE PATH SWERVES INTO KAMLOOPS, BRINGS SURGE TO BLUE WAVE
Armstrong and Emillia Murasiranwa left their sons and daughter in Africa while trying to find a better life for the family in North America, but never could have known how long they would be removed from those they love most.
MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Murasiranwas’ story is about a separated family’s quest for a better life, a heart-wrenching but necessary Zimbabwean exodus, agonizing refugee nomadism in North America and the death of a brother and son. Parents Armstrong and Emillia call their tale an ode to Canadian acceptance, one that twists and turns through South Africa and across the U.S. before a touch-andgo stop in Edmonton and arrival in Kamloops. Westsyde Blue Wave football coach Cory Bymoen has never seen anything like it in 20 years on the sidelines, a gift from the gridiron gods on the eve of the season. Darlington Murasiranwa, 17, is at the centre of it all. Several months before Darlington’s birth, his father, Armstrong, joined a growing number of friends and family members who left home in Zimbabwe in search of prosperity, not realizing years of hardship and family estrangement were ahead. “In 2000, things were going down in Zimbabwe, politically, economically, the jobs, the money … people were losing jobs and the money was getting weaker and weaker. Food was getting more expensive,” Armstrong said, noting friends and relatives were fleeing to Australia, the U.S., the United Kingdom and South Africa. “I couldn’t go with my family. I just had to go by myself to find somewhere for them to live. I thought it was going to be easy to get immigration papers. It wasn’t. It was so tough.” Emillia made the decision to
MARTY HASTINGS/KTW
DARLINGTON MURASIRANWA join her husband in the U.S. in 2003, leaving Darlington, born in 2001, and his elder brother, Kuda, to be taken care of by their grandmothers, both of whom were widows. “It’s a very hard story to tell,” an emotional Emillia said, standing outside Westsyde secondary while speaking to KTW. “It’s painful. I don’t have any words. I’m sorry about this. They were growing up. I didn’t have my kids. I tried to find a visa with my boys, but was denied. “My mom told me every time Darlington saw an airplane, he
would point and say, ‘When are mom and dad coming home?’” Communication remained constant between parents and children, countless phone calls and Skype sessions to help them through a long, painful era — 10 formative years for Darlington and Kuda during which they never saw mom and 13 without seeing dad.

“Life was too hard at that time,” Emillia said. “My history is very tough. We tried to find my family a better life.” Armstrong, a boilermaker, sought work across the U.S., bouncing around shipyards in Louisiana, Philadelphia, San Diego, North Carolina and Mobile, Ala., all the while trying in vain to bring his
children over from Africa. “She [Emillia] was always crying,” Armstrong said. “At the same time, I’m crying inside. For us to go back, it was too hard. It was better that we can send money there and they can have a good life. They could have food on the table.” Once it became clear a new beginning for the family in the U.S. would not materialize, the couple moved north and settled in Edmonton. Refugee status meant if Armstrong and Emillia left the country, they could not return. This fact became nearly unbearable in 2010. Armstrong had never seen Darlington, who was nine at the time, and it had been seven years since Emillia left her toddler and his older brother in Chitungwiza. But there were also three other siblings. When Emillia married Armstrong, he had three young children from a previous marriage — Armstrong Jr., Auntienett and Aaron. “I raised them,” Emillia said. “We are one big family, my side and his side.” Darlington and Kuda left Zimbabwe and moved to Stellenbosch, South Africa, in 2008 to live with their brothers and sister. “Violence came to Zimbabwe, especially in 2008,” Armstrong said. “That’s when we moved them. There was violence and starvation. Too much politics.”

Family, apart for 13 years, had dramatic reunion in Cape Town airport From A25
The move went well, but more adversity followed. Armstrong Jr. took ill with pneumonia and died in 2010. He was 21. “It was a problem he had since birth,” Armstrong said. “He lost his life and it was tough for us. We couldn’t go back. That was the toughest thing in our life. We couldn’t go back for his funeral. Why? Because if we went back, we wouldn’t be able to come back [to Canada]. No papers. Still refugee claimants. The funeral was done.” Darlington was asked about the loss of his older brother. He said he would rather not address the topic. “It gave him more guts, more strength,” Armstrong said. “Not just him, his older brother, too, to face that situation.” Added Emillia: “It’s not easy to grow up without parents on your side. Family took care of our kids, but it’s not easy without mom and dad. It’s painful.” Years dragged on, but the Murasiranwas began to make headway on the immigration front. “I’m proud of being Canadian,” Emillia said. “I don’t know what I can say. Every day I’m proud. We were welcomed here.” By 2013, Armstrong and Emillia were permitted to leave Canada, knowing they would be allowed to return. They flew to Cape Town for an airport reunion of a lifetime, one Emillia acknowledged created

Westsyde secondary
quite the scene — an outpouring of emotion more than a decade in the making. Armstrong held his son, Darlington. That had never happened before. Kuda and Darlington hugged their mother for the first time in 10 years. The family was whole again, although it was missing Armstrong Jr. They visited his grave. Kuda and Darlington moved to Edmonton from Stellenbosch in 2014 and were quickly discovered by high school and post-secondary coaches, which prompted yet another family uprooting. FC Edmonton recruited fledgling soccer star Darlington, who was then invited to join the Vancouver Whitecaps’ residency program in 2016. “It was burning our hearts. Like, again? He’s leaving?” Armstrong said. “We haven’t stayed with him. I had never seen him since he was born. I only saw him when he was about 13. We decided to go to Vancouver and live with him there, so we
could see him every day.” Vancouver proved too expensive, so Armstrong and Emillia moved to Kamloops. Darlington would visit when possible, but attended school on the Coast until he was released by the Whitecaps. He moved to Kamloops this past summer. Meanwhile, Kuda became a Northwest Athletic Conference champion sprinter — his personal best in the 100 metres is 10.62 seconds — with Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay. The 21-year-old runner was recruited to compete in track and field for the University of Guelph in 2018-2019 and plans to try out for the Gryphons’ football team. Kuda excelled at running back after being wooed to the sport by his coach at Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Edmonton. He encouraged his younger brother to join the Blue Wave. “When I came to Westsyde, we were talking on Facetime and he was like, ‘Hey, man, they have football. Why don’t you try it out?” Darlington said. “He was like, ‘Just try and not get tackled. Just run for your life.’ “I never really thought I would play. My brother always calls me weak.” Last month, on the first day of the school year, Westsyde football coach Bymoen crossed paths with the new Grade 12 kid in town and invited him to practice that Monday afternoon. “By Tuesday night, we had basically revamped our offence,”
Bymoen said, noting the team has newfound playoff aspirations, thanks mostly to Darlington. “This changes things. It never happens with me. We hear the stories. You’re always hoping. I’ve never had somebody come into the school like that unannounced.” The rookie had an impressive debut, to put it mildly. Darlington racked up more than 300 yards rushing and scored five touchdowns in his first exhibition game on Sept. 15 in Surrey, with little to no knowledge of the game and almost zero playing experience. Westsyde blanked Frank Hurt 42-0. The 6-foot, 165-pound back has not played a regular-season snap, but Bymoen has already heard from Rice University’s NCAA Division 1 program about the Zimbabwean speed demon. Darlington needs to dig into his playbook and get live reps before any talk of post-secondary football should be heard. “As soon as I get the ball, I’m scared,” said Darlington, who is also turning heads on the basketball court. “I’m like, ‘Oh, he’s coming. What should I do?’ But I’m getting used to it and I’m loving it. “I love my teammates. They’re great. The first day, I was really nervous. In the changing room, they were all coming to me, ‘Hey, what’s your name?’ I felt welcomed. Now, I enjoy it.” The future looks promising for Darlington and Kuda, regardless of what happens with athletics. They have access to health care
and medication and never have to worry about going hungry. Emillia found employment at a nursing home. Armstrong works in Fort McMurray, seven days on and seven days off. Remembering remains traumatic, but looking ahead has never felt so good. “Life sometimes has been very tough,” Emillia said. “You have to be strong. I have to thank God for now. We are here with my kids and I like Kamloops. People love each other. That’s why I’m here. Edmonton is good, but it’s very freezing. Right now, they are wearing big jackets. “I love Kamloops no matter what. It was very difficult to leave my boys, but right now we’re together.” HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL KICKOFF Darlington is dealing with an injury and is questionable to play, but Westsyde will lock horns with Valleyview in B.C. Secondary Schools Football Association play on Friday. Game time is 3 p.m. at Westsyde. Meanwhile, the South Kamloops Titans will square off against Clarence Fulton in Vernon on Friday. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. at Greater Vernon Athletic Park. The games will mark the first regular-season action for each of the Interior AA Varsity Conference squads. Vernon, the conference’s other team, has a bye week.

Welcome to Ies Pet Store where we have kitties, doggies, and fishies. 1) The number of each animal type is such that the total number of animals is the maximum it can be. 2) The number of fishies is the square of the number of kitties or maybe of doggies. 3) The number of kitties and the number of doggies are both prime. 4) The total number of animals is less than 100. 5) There are more kitties than doggies.
ANSWERS
How many each of kitties, doggies, and fishies are there?
Answer to last week’s FIND YET ANOTHER PATTERN: Reverse each word. The rule is that the reversed first word comes before the reversed second word. For example, “esrev” comes before “yrteop” THIS PUZZLE IS BY GENE WIRCHENKO Find more puzzles, articles, and full solutions online at genew.ca

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Deborah Chiyoko Studer (née Nagai) Deborah Chiyoko Studer (née Nagai) passed away in the early morning of September 17, 2018 surrounded by her loved ones. Deb had a profound impact on countless people in her lifetime and in the days leading to her death, the hospice house where she stayed was flooded with visitors who wanted to see her one last time – it was a testament to who she was. Deb battled through many years with health challenges including lupus, kidney failure, kidney transplant and eventually lung cancer. Despite those challenges, most who met her were surprised to learn that she was sick because of her energy and the passion for life that she exhibited. She simply refused to be defined by the challenges she faced in life. Deb was only fifty-six years old but most would be lucky to distill as much as she did out of life. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, “Bachee”, friend, nurse and survivor. She is survived by her husband Gregg Studer, her two adult children James (Karman) Studer and Jordi (Tanner) LeBourdais (née Studer) and their children Quinn and Claire, as well as her four adult nephews Rob (Heather) and son Rory Nagai, Theo (Michelle) and three children Madeline, Alex, and William Nagai and twins Tim Nagai and Jeremy (Lisa) and son Lawrence Nagai. Born on Christmas day, Deb was a truly special person. She was raised in Kamloops where she met many of her lifelong friends, including those that would help care for her in hospice. In high school she met her husband Gregg. Deb and Gregg married in 1981. They were
fortunate to have their son James in 1983 and were again blessed with their daughter Jordi in 1986. Deb and Gregg raised their kids with love and adoration from the time they were born and continued into adulthood. They sacrificed everything they had to ensure the best for their kids. Their home was a welcomed community centre for all of James and Jordi’s friends throughout the years. They spoke into many children’s lives and their house carried an indescribable warmth that attracted all. Deb obtained her Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Nursing while raising her two children and then earned her Master’s Degree from UBC while doing dialysis, being treated for kidney failure and continuing to work full time. Since 2001, Deb worked as a Registered Nurse working at various wards and clinics. Her infectious spirt touched everyone around her. She was known to patients and colleagues for her positive outlook, kind heart, and her ability to always know the right thing to say. Ironically, Deb spent the majority of her nursing career at the Cancer Clinic at Royal Inland Hospital where she will be missed greatly. Deb was a devout Christian and regularly attended church at Full Gospel, Southwest Baptist and The Calvary Temple. She spent many hours volunteering in the church kitchen with husband Gregg, her mother Kimi and auntie Tomi. They made planning and orchestrating meals look “easy” even when feeding hundreds of people despite having no formal catering experience. Deb and Gregg built a great community with the people from the churches they attended. In her spare time, Deb would usually be found outdoors hiking with her “grand-dog” Jack and any one of her many friends who often joined her. Deb found peace in the outdoors and loved
geocaching with the younger people in her life. Deb loved children. She was incredibly happy to become a grandmother but she also was an influential presence for many of her friends’ children. She embraced all children with open arms and spoke wonders into all. Children from all ages loved her. Deb truly was a big kid at heart. Throughout her lifetime, she could be found hiding under blankets, playing on the playground and especially in the last year, tucked in the McDonald’s play place with her grandchildren. After Deb’s lung cancer diagnoses and treatment, she battled hard but preferred spending time with her two grand-babies Quinn and Claire. Everyone close to her knew her true and genuine love for these girls. Her only regret was that she would not see them grow up. Deb was a beacon of light to all those who were fortunate to know her. She embraced everyone she met and always treated people with respect and kindness. She lived her life in a way that celebrated everyone else before herself; she epitomized generosity and self-sacrifice. Despite her health challenges, Deb lived a full life. She was a pillar of strength to everyone around her. There will be a service held in honour of Deb on Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 3:00 pm at The Calvary Church. If you knew Deb, you are welcome to attend. She would want those who knew her to remember the happy times and to celebrate a life well lived. In honour of Deb, please feel free to wear something colourful to the service.

We moved from the Fraser Valley and I assumed the role of General Manager of Schoening’s, First Memorial and Merritt Funeral Chapel.

In the fall of 1946, Mom went with her sister Lil, to work at the tuberculosis sanitorium in Prince Albert as Practical Nurses. The spring of 1947 they transferred to London, Ontario where they worked at the sanitorium at Byron, Ontario.

home, travel, flowers and gardening, always with a strong Christian faith and active church life (Christ Community Church). In later years, her zest for living was amplified with the births of her three grandchildren whom soon became her main focus and joy. The children were privileged to be extremely close to their grandmother and will treasure their many fond memories of her. The family would like to extend special thanks to Eileen Ambler, close family friend. Mom loved her and so appreciated her visits and support. Also, thanks to the staff at Overlander Extended Care Hospital, who managed her care with kindness, tenderness and compassion since her admission in April. Mom had settled in nicely and loved her caregivers.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Norman “Stormin’ Norman” Stelter
A Vanished Friend
Though we are saddened to announce the passing of a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, the salmon are now at ease knowing that Norm “The Fish Slayer” Stelter is resting in peace. Norm was born on July 3, 1955 and passed away peacefully on September 23, 2018 from his battle with cancer. A lifetime community member of Chase, he will be deeply missed by all including his longtime golf buddies, morning coffee companions, fellow “Rink Rats”, coworkers of Adams Lake Lumber (41 years), friends and family. Norm had many passions including fishing, golf and hockey, his love for his “pupper dogs”, but most of all his family. Norm had an amazing gift to make everyone he associated with feel like they were his best friend; this gift will be sorely missed by so many. He is survived by his wife Jean, son Kelvin (Tara), daughter Andrea (dog Maggie), grandkids Rylan, Mersaya, Kenzie, Donavan, Layne. Also survived by his sisters Maureen (Ray), Muriel, and many extended family members. He is predeceased by his father Ernest Stelter and mother Alice Stelter. The family would like to send a big THANK YOU to all the doctors and nurses at RIH, as well as the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice for all of Norm’s care. If you wish to make a donation in Norm’s memory, they can be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association. A Celebration of Life will be held on April 20, 2019 at Sunshore Golf Course and anyone wishing to leave on-line condolences they may be left at www.schoeningfuneralservices.com. The family thanks everyone for their love and support.

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!
