BLAZE GUTS HOME
ALLEGED SEXUAL ASSAULT WAS IN 2015

Two people were taken to hospital following a house fire in Brocklehurst on Wednesday morning. The blaze gutted a home on Paulsen Place, a cul de sac, just before 9 a.m., but all three people who were in the home at the time of the fire managed to escape without major injury. KFR Platoon Capt. Darryl Cooper said two of the residents were taken to hospital for possible smoke inhalation. Fire investigators are still trying to determine what caused the blaze, though Cooper said an owner of the house told firefighters she was smoking a cigarette on the deck at about 7:30 a.m.
A man is behind bars awaiting trial on allegations he sexually assaulted a Kamloops woman in 2015 — a charge that was laid as a result of a positive DNA test years later, a judge has been told. Arlen Mattess, 38, is facing one count of sexual assault. Court heard Mounties making regular patrols found a heavily intoxicated woman on the North Shore on April 22, 2015. She was covered in dirt and struggling to stay on her feet. The woman told officers she had only consumed two drinks and was unsure why she was so drunk, court heard. The woman was arrested for being drunk in public and taken to jail to sober up. While at the Kamloops RCMP detachment, court heard, investigators noticed the woman’s underwear appeared to be on sideways. As a precaution, police transported the woman to Royal Inland Hospital where a sexual assault test turned up foreign bodily fluids. The woman told police she had

no recollection of sex and had not been consensually sexually active since an encounter with her boyfriend three days earlier. Earlier this year, a DNA test matched bodily fluids found on the woman to Mattess, court heard, to a probability of six-trillion to one. Court heard the woman, whose identity is protected by a courtordered ban on publication, told police she does not know anyone with the name of the accused. A charge was laid on June 20 and Mattess appeared in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday, where he was denied bail. “The circumstances are very egregious if she was so intoxicated that she has no memory and no capacity to consent,” Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame said in denying Mattess bail. Defence lawyer Alexander Watt said the issue at trial will be consent. Mattess is slated to return to court on Jan. 25 for a preliminary inquiry. Preliminary inquiries are hearings that are held to determine if there is enough evidence to send an accused to trial.

Plenty of wants and needs in rec surveys JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Pickleball courts, indoor and outdoor ice rinks, multi-use indoor recreational space and a performing-arts centre were among recreational priorities voiced by the community this week. The city is working with Edmonton-based community development consultant RC Strategies + PERC to draft a new recreation master plan, which will identify recreation needs as the city grows. Surveys were sent to households and open houses were held this past Monday and Tuesday. “We had close to 100 or so over the two days,” city recreation supervisor Linda Stride said. Stride said pickleballers had a significant showing on Monday, lobbying for additional courts. The city has eight courts designated to the sport, including four each at McDonald and Riverside parks, and tennis courts in the city have also been converted to allow dual-use with the sport. Stride said the existing pickleball courts are not being used to capacity and program-

ming could be improved to maximize space. Unlike pickleball courts, however, the city’s ice rinks are maxed out. As the hockey season gets underway, Stride said teams are playing until midnight. Rinks are booked from 3 p.m. to midnight every day of the week. Indoor ice, as well as an outdoor ice rink, were also brought forward during the open houses. “We’re at capacity,” Stride said. “We’re beyond capacity.” Other public requests included squash courts and additional gymnasium and multipurpose indoor training space. Stride said the Tournament Capital Centre is also nearing capacity, utilized by Thompson Rivers University, the Kamloops Track and Field Club and numerous user groups for sports like basketball, volleyball, badminton and dry-land training. (It is also used for pickleball in the winter.) Stride said the challenge is keeping space available for TCC pass-holders. Softball and soccer groups have also expressed interest in an indoor training facility that could be used during winter months. Stride said she could see demand for a triple-court facility.
“Definitely a multi-purpose, large gymnasium space would be very well-used,” she said. One recreational facility that might not come immediately to mind that was brought up during public consultations is a performing-arts centre. While turnout was not significant, Stride noted people usually only consider the active side of recreation, which also includes arts and culture, and passive recreation, such as trails and park space. “The plan is not meant to focus on sports,” Stride said. “That’s not it. It’s a recreation plan. It’s meant to guide administration and council in all recreation.” Stride said that will be considered when the consultant compiles feedback and looks at the city’s future needs as it continues to grow. A report will be completed in November, with a draft headed to council in early 2019. Stride said recommendations won’t come with dollar figures, instead focusing on need. It will ultimately be up to council to decide what happens with the recommendations. Provide feedback online via the city’s Let’s Talk engagement website, https://letstalk. kamloops.ca/recplan.

SD73 will investigate after complaint about worksheet MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
School District 73 plans to investigate after the father of a Valleyview secondary student spoke out about a politically divisive worksheet given to his son’s Grade 10 social studies class earlier this week. Matt DeFouw told KTW he was shocked and upset to learn from his son that teacher-provided answers to the in-class assignment labeled certain beliefs — such as “a person who is racist” — as right-wing ideologies. “I could not believe that would be something that would ever be shown the light of day in a classroom,” DeFouw said, adding he felt the assignment was an oversimplification of the political spectrum. The worksheet included statements such as “a person who believes that women should stay at home and be mothers,” “a person who believes that convicted murderers should be hanged” and “a person who believes that Canada should restrict immigration,” which were all labeled as being rightwing viewpoints. Answers to “a person who believes the school strap should be abolished,” “a person who believes in higher minimum wage” and “a person who believes that all major industries should be owned by the state” were all considered left-wing thoughts.
Context is crucial
See Foulds column, A8 “That’s like taking food and saying all food just goes from bland to spicy and there’s no other metrics to the way you can describe food,” DeFouw said. DeFouw took to Facebook, where he posted a picture of the assignment, titled Political Spectrum Case Studies, which contained his son’s whited out answers alongside the teacher’s answers he said his son wrote down in pink ink. “This is 1984-esque propaganda at its very worst,” DeFouw wrote on Facebook. “It is essentially molding the next generation of voters to believe that conservatives or people ‘on the right’ are misogynist racists who hate immigrants and want to enact a brutal police state.” DeFouw also called the school and expressed his concerns with principal Barb Hamblett. DeFouw said the conversation went very well. “I told her I don’t think we should be teaching divisive identity politics in schools,” he said. “I don’t think that we should be polarizing students and creating us versus them and good versus bad based on political bent,” he said. In a letter addressed to DeFouw from Hamblett, which DeFouw also posted to
Facebook, Hamblett wrote that she spoke to the classroom teacher about his concerns. “Although there was no intent to cause confusion for students, the teacher acknowledged that the social studies worksheet did not present a balanced view of the political spectrum and it was an oversimplification of a very complex issue,” Hamblett wrote. She went on to say the teacher sees a need to revisit the concepts from the lesson. Hamblett did not reply to a request for an interview from KTW. DeFouw said he felt the school’s administration handled the issue well. SD73 assistant superintendent Bill Hamblett (who is married to the Valleyview secondary principal) oversees secondary schools and told KTW the district’s internal investigation will determine the next steps. Hamblett said he doesn’t know where the teacher obtained the worksheet, but noted the investigation will involve asking her why she chose it. (A search online found the worksheet on the resource page of the website of Ontario’s York Region school district.) “Teachers develop a variety of resources to use in their classrooms — electronic, paper, class-generated discussions, sometimes students generate some aspects of the lesson — so there’s no lock-step process for that,” Hamblett said.
We understand your unique situation and we will advocate on your behalf for treatments, replacement services, and ultimately, a fair settlement.

Winter shelters prepping for cold JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
DAVE EAGLES/KTW Kamloops firefighters were called to this house on Paulson Place in Brocklehurst on Wednesday morning. The blaze destroyed the home.
Cause of fire under investigation From A1
The fire appears to have started at the rear of the house as the back patio area sustained most damage. Cooper said he couldn’t say for sure if smoking was the cause as the investigation is still in its preliminary stages. The residents’ pet dog, which
was believed to have been in the basement, had not been found as of KTW press deadline on Thursday afternoon. Cooper said the house was fully engulfed in flames when the fire department responded with 14 firefighters at about 8:30 a.m. The blaze was fought from a defensive position, meaning no
firefighters went into the home as it was unsafe to enter. Aside from a few burned cedar trees in a neighbouring yard, there was no other damage to property. The blaze was doused in relatively short order, but firefighters remained at the scene all morning.
As the seasons change, an extreme weather shelter in downtown Kamloops is seeking donations before winter. Out of the Cold will open in about a month, once again offering beds, meals and support out of the basement of St. Paul’s Cathedral, 360 Nicola St. “We’re in desperate need of blankets and warm clothing,” said Out of the Cold program co-ordinator Renee Stein. The shelter opens in November for two nights weekly through the coldest months of the year. It will operate again on Wednesdays and Sundays through March. Out of the Cold expanded this year for the first time to include beds for those seeking refuge from the blistering heat in July and August. Out of the Heat welcomed 558 people through its doors during 18 days in those months. About a third of those people came to sleep and Stein said it’s likely those people would otherwise have been sleeping in a park, in need of a glass of water. She saw people walk through the doors during a heat wave with signs of significant dehydration, complete with vomiting and diarrhea. The shelter provided sports drinks and Imodium.
“If you have a mental-health diagnosis, what I found was some of our guys and gals weren’t even aware how overheated they were,” Stein said. She said the shelter also helps to build relationships among a population that often finds difficulty trusting others. Many would show up early to set up the shelter and stay late to help clean up. Stein noted the importance of remembering names, celebrating birthdays and including people in their own care programs. “One of the barriers for them getting help is they often don’t feel safe making relationships with support people,” Stein said. “They think that them reaching out to support people will mirror what they experienced growing up. And so, they often don’t seek help because of those relationship letdowns.” Two people who accessed Out of the Cold in the past were hired to work this summer during Out of the Heat. “They didn’t miss any of their shifts,” Stein said. “They worked really hard and it was really important for them to do well.” Plans are in the works to try to continue the initiative heading into the winter season. Stein said Out of the Heat will return next summer, funding permitted. This year, the City of Kamloops funded the program with $9,500.

Charges pending following Tranquille Road crash Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in an early-morning crash in North Kamloops on Wednesday that landed a young woman behind bars. Emergency crews were called to the 100block of Tranquille Road at about 7:15 a.m. for a report of a collision.
“When officers arrived, they found that the car had been reported to the police earlier in the morning as a vehicle which had been driving carelessly on the North Shore,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said, noting witnesses told police the woman driving the car ran away from
the crash scene. Shelkie said a 21-year-old woman was
arrested a short distance away. “When the officer
attempted to arrest the female, she resisted by striking the officer in
the face,” Shelkie said, noting investigators believe alcohol played a
part in the incident. Charges are pending.
Troy Gold has been reported missing and was last seen at his Kamloops home on Monday, Oct. 1. He has tattoos on the knuckles of his hands — spelling out “love” and “hate” — and a letter “G” on each hand.
Have you seen Troy Gold? Kamloops Mounties are asking for help in finding a man reported missing. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said 35-year-old Troy Gold was last seen on Monday, Oct. 1, at 3 p.m. at his Kamloops home. “He has not contacted friends or family since then,” Shelkie said. “It is believed that Troy is still in the Kamloops area.” Gold is white, stands 5-foot-6, has short, dirty-blond hair and a goatee. He was last seen wearing black sweat pants, a grey hoodie, a blue and white Toronto Blue Jays hat and blue Adidas shoes. He has tattoos on the knuckles of his hands — spelling out “love” and “hate” — and a letter “G”

THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL ELECTIONS
W
hen it comes to government, we often pay a lot of attention to the provincial and federal government, the Trans Mountain pipeline being a prime example, and much less so to the local elections. Case in point: the voter turnout during the 2015 federal election was 68.3 per cent and 57.7 per cent during the 2017 provincial election, while only 44.5 per cent in the 2014 B.C. municipal elections. On the flip side, you’re not going to run into John Horgan or Justin Trudeau in the local grocery store. You might run into your local MLA or MP, but only if you’re lucky (after all, their areas are huge and they have to spend time in Ottawa or Victoria). The ones you’re most likely to run into are your mayor, councillors or regional district directors. That should also make them a lot more accountable; it’s much harder to break a promise when you have to see the recipients of that broken promise every day. According to the website TrudeauMeter (which keeps track of Trudeau’s promises), he’s broken 41 and not started another 43. If a mayor or councillor had broken that may promises over the course of four years, they’d probably be looking to move. Furthermore, when it comes to the provincial and federal elections, your vote is one of millions, while for many in municipal elections, your vote will be one of hundreds determining the outcome. Especially after 2017, the power and importance of municipal governments couldn’t be clearer either as it wasn’t Trudeau or Horgan agonizing over whether to call or lift evacuation orders. We vastly undervalue the importance of municipal elections. They say every vote matters, but municipal elections may well be where your vote matters most: whether firefighters show up when your house catches fire this winter, whether the road is plowed, whether your garbage is picked up and whether your water is safe to drink. It happens or doesn’t happen because of municipal politicians. — Black Press

On the political spectrum
T
o be clear, the contretemps that has bubbled up from a social studies class at Valleyview secondary is not an educational affair to rival Jim Keegstra, the Alberta high school teacher convicted in 1984 of hate speech after teaching his students the Holocaust was a fraud and that Jewish people were evil. As has been reported by KTW and many other media outlets in Kamloops and beyond, Matt DeFouw took issue with a political spectrum worksheet his son and classmates were handed in a Grade 10 social studies class at Valleyview. DeFouw felt the worksheet painted right-wing beliefs in a harsh light. The worksheet, titled Examining the Political Spectrum, is a standard left-centre-right political spectrum we all learned in high school in decades past. It appears to have been taken from the resource pages of Ontario’s York Regional school district. The worksheet explains: “The purpose of the political spectrum is to show the differences in beliefs and ideologies (communism, racism, feminism, capitalism, liberalism, sexism etc.). The main issues that position a person’s attitudes on the spectrum include speed of change in a society, freedom of individual versus security of group and sharing of wealth through social benefits.” The worksheet included a threecolumn grid with boxes explaining the general beliefs of those with left-wing, centre and right-wing beliefs with respect to law and order, government, freedom, etc. That was followed by a series of statements students were asked
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS to match to the political spectrum, but the crucial part of the assignment is in the wording: “Read each of the statements below. Plot the number of each statement on the political spectrum line where it is best suited.” “Best suited” is the context needed to understand the exercise that has exorcised so many on social media who have, as usual, jumped to conclusions without any knowledge of facts. The first statement is “A person who believes that convicted murderers should be hanged.” There can be no argument that the answer is right-wing as those who support capital punishment generally come from the right (conservative) side of the political spectrum. Another statement is “A person who believes that Canada should send aid to Third World countries.” The answer is obviously left-wing as those on the left (liberal) side of the political spectrum generally support spending more on such aid. These are accurate assessments based on how the left, centre and right generally view life, which is why the assignment asked students
to match the statement to the political belief it best suited. Some statements could apply to all three — left, centre, right — on the political spectrum, but the students were asked to identify to which of the three the statement was best suited. (There was one statement, about racists, that should have been excised, considering communists and fascists alike have committed race-based genocide.) Obviously, there are many greys in political beliefs, as DeFouw has argued, and I agree. But if one looks at the grid and the associated statements, it does indeed illustrate how the left, centre and right generally stand on those issues. They are not incorrect as a general guide to those just learning the basic political spectrum we were all taught in school (straight line, with left, centre, right). Of course, politics is more complex that the classic straight line left-centre-right spectrum with which we are all familiar, but that spectrum serves as a good introduction. The worksheet can be informative in the right context, with the teacher explaining these issues are where people on the political spectrum can generally be found. How the assignment was explained is key, but I do not join DeFouw in believing it is part of a larger effort by the left to manipulate young minds. At worst, the teacher may have failed to emphasize the examples listed and answers provided should be seen as general beliefs and that many who identify as left, right or centre may not fit under those categories. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
HOLD NOISY EVENTS AWAY FROM HOMES
ALLEN DOUGLAS PHOTOS/KTW The First Baptist Church of Kamloops staged a Pro-Life Chain on Sept. 30 along Columbia Street between Third and Fifth Avenues. The demonstration was countered by a group of pro-choice residents carrying signs across the street (photo below).
PRO-LIFE PROTESTERS SIGNS RE-TRAUMATIZE WOMEN Editor: I am all for one’s right to protest and teach their religion in any way that is deemed legal. I am not OK with people getting harassed about abortions outside of a hospital when there are a number of churches blocks away. As someone who has been in health care for more than 10 years, I have seen young women have to make the choice to either abort a fetus or live with their rapist’s baby.
This re-traumatizes these young women. Do protesters not get that when they try telling these women they must keep their child because some book says so?
Editor: I have lived in Kamloops for my entire 35 year life and I have watched the city grow around me. As it expands, however, it seems the people in power are forgetting about the most important aspect of any city — its people. Brewloops took place last weekend at 775 Fortune Dr. on the North Shore. The event featured live music, carnival rides and lots of beer. It was a source of plenty of noise and was not the kind of thing I wanted right across the street from my home. There are many other places that would have worked much better for this event, including
Riverside Park, Pioneer Park, MacArthur Island and TRU. I have been sick for the better part of the last week. All I wanted was to have a cup of tea and to go to bed early, but I couldn’t because of the music and noise coming from the event. I am aware my letter will probably accomplish nothing, but I still wanted to write in and express my displeasure. In the future, I would like the city to at least consider not putting such an event so close to homes. That’s not too much to ask, is it? Carl Clarke Kamloops
SAD TALE OF RIVERS TRAIL
You never know what those people walking past you went through that day, with your sign in their face, making them feel bad. Tony Jones Kamloops
Editor: The city changed the level of maintenance on the Rivers Trail this year. In past years, maintenance was done by parks staff, with mowing and weed-wacking done at reasonable intervals to an acceptable standard. This year, maintenance was assigned to roads crews who man-
aged the trail very differently, mowing only twice with the same standard as applied to the shoulders of county roads. The results were a significant decline in quality of mowing and no weed-wacking. City council is not interested in this issue and staff seems to be proud to have met
its goal, so future improvement are not likely. The civic election will be held on Oct. 20. Perhaps there are candidates out there who will take up the cause for North Shore and other trail users. Maybe we need an electoral ward system? Glen Baber North Shore

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: CAVERS WANTS CITY TO BAN CAMPAIGN SIGNS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY:
“Kamloops should implement this from Edmonton’s bylaw regarding campaign signs: signs must be at least 30 metres from signalized intersections, 15 metres from non-signalized intersections and 10 metres from private driveways. Signs must be at least three metres from the curb face of a roadway.” — posted by Steve
RE: STORY: CANDIDATES Q&A: ADDICTION, HOMELESSNESS AND SCHOOL PORTABLES:
“The fact of the matter is enrolment pressures are not an issue for just one or two schools. “The city should expect it to get worse with the way the real estate market has blown up over the last few years. “So many families with school-aged children have moved to Kamloops and this issue is not going away. “Portables have become permanent fixtures with no end in sight.

Could cannabis be useful in fight against opioid crisis? Head of ASK Wellness says legalization could see pot go from gateway to ‘exit drug’ MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
With the legalization of recreational marijuana just weeks away, Bob Hughes doesn’t view marijuana as a gateway drug — he sees it as an exit drug. The executive director of ASK Wellness was grateful to have two of his clients speak to marijuana’s healing benefits at a summit held by Cannsolve Clinic on Wednesday at Thompson Rivers University. “They spoke about how they managed to get off of really serious problems — alcohol for one guy and crystal meth and heroin for the other — and cannabis really was their exit drug,” Hughes told KTW. The testimonials served as an affirmation for Hughes that cannabis can be one way ASK can help its clients treat their opioid addiction. Legal weed will make that access easier. Historically, obtaining a medical prescription has been incredibly difficult for his clientele, Hughes said, noting doctors have been hesitant and an assessment costs $300, leaving some with little recourse other than to access marijuana from the black market. Given the amount of housing the government is providing in Kamloops, ASK will soon be dealing with many former homeless and needs to figure out how to help them treat their substance abuse beyond the naloxone kit, he told KTW. Hughes shared the stage with likeminded panellists at the Irving K. Barber Centre during the back half of Wednesday’s summit, discussing the
MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Terry Lake spoke Wednesday during a summit on health and cannabis at Thompson Rivers University.
potential marijuana has to fight the opioid epidemic in B.C. The panel included Royal Inland Hospital emergency physician Dr. Ian Mitchell, former minister of health and current vice-president of a medical marijuana company, Terry Lake, and Phillipe Lucas, vice-president of patient research and access at Tilray, a licensed producer of medical pot. Lucas spoke of observational research by Tilray, which showed a reduction in opiate use by patients who used medicinal marijuana instead. “We’re not seeing this as a gateway drug by any means and we’re not seeing patients having to add on opioids to their cannabis. They seem to reduce their opi-
oid use all around,” Lucas told the crowd. One member of the crowd was wary of the research. During the question period, the man said observational studies don’t represent hard science because they don’t prove cannabis caused the reduction, adding he would like to see the results of randomized, double-blind control studies, which would produce unbiased results. Lucas said he felt everyone can agree more research needs to be done on cannabis, but noted that what is known today about medical cannabis is based on patient experiences. Mitchell, who is participating in a randomized controlled study on the effects of cannabis on patients with post-traumatic stress syndrome, said a lot of what is known about the harms of marijuana also comes from observational data. He also noted randomized controlled studies examining the benefits of marijuana have been suppressed for decades due to a research blockade in the U.S. Lake pointed to the staggering number of opioid-related deaths B.C. has experienced in recent years and noted they are not declining. He said society needs to find “every tool in our tool box to help fight this opioid crisis, and cannabis, I think, is part of that strategy.” Opiates attach themselves to the respiratory centre on the brain and reduce a person’s ability to breath, which can lead to death, he said. Marijuana is often used to treat chronic pain, just as opiates are, Lake said, but unlike opiates, cannabis usage does not lead to deadly overdoses.
Research looks at cannabis as medicine KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Nan Stevens just wanted help for her son, Westin. He has pervasive development disorder — the catchword for a group of developmental delays in socializing and communicating in particular — and he was on several prescribed medications which she wasn’t confident were doing the job. Westin was aggressive. He couldn’t focus in school. He was not communicative. “I needed him to stay in school,” Stevens said. “To be safe. To be calm.” Her quest for help led her to Dr. Ian Mitchell, who works in the emergency department at Royal Inland Hospital and is active in the fight against opioids and the use of medical marijuana when it is helpful. He connected her with the Medicinal Cannabis Resource Centre and local representative Michael Koehn. Stevens, a Thompson Rivers University educator, is now working with Koehn and fellow TRU teacher Florriann Fehr on a research project they hope not only helps others, but adds to the body of knowledge
about the use of cannabis as medicine. Fehr brings to the project her nursing background, while Stevens teaches in education and social work. Koehn brings his own unique experience. Twenty years ago, he cared for a woman he loved who had an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis. She was existing on high doses of hydromorphone — a form of morphine — every day, along with other medications. Looking for a better quality of life for her, Koehn said, he began experimenting with cannabinoids and gradually weaned her off the pharmaceuticals. He said her suffering abated. Koehn said he learned through trial and error, making evidencebased decisions on what would work and what didn’t. A registered clinical counsellor, he has continued his work in the area and is assisting the two professors in recruiting families for the study. A prerequisite for acceptance — they would like 18 families — is that a member of each family must have been on medical cannabis for four to six months. Fehr said their research is happening at a challenging time when there are bar-
riers and stigma associated with medical cannabis, even at her university. TRU is considering a policy banning marijuana from campus, although people who use it for medicinal purposes will be permitted to do so if they produce a prescription from a qualified physician. Fehr said that is why education is an important part of the work, not just for the public, but also for academics. “We can’t ignore this,” she said. “If I was to pull out a main theme, we need to educate the policy-makers as well.” One aspect Koehn hopes can be promoted is that cannabis clinics do not just sell the product, but rather decide in consultation with the client the appropriate drug or drug mixtures that will be best for them. Koehn plans to open another clinic later this year that will include other health-care professionals. Fehr said that approach buys into the direction the health-care sector is moving, with team-based medicine tailored to each patient’s need. Anyone interested in getting more information on the research can contact the team by email at ffehr@tru.ca, nstevens@tru.ca or mkoehn@cannsolve.com.

LOCAL NEWS Running cow meets its end A cow that got loose in Sahali was killed by police on Monday on the recommendation of the vet from whom it escaped. Kamloops RCMP were notified at about 3 p.m. of the wandering bovine that earlier in the day got away from a local veterinarian’s trailer. “The vet followed the cow and advised officers of its location,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said in a press release. An officer found the cow near the South Thompson River, near the Tk’emlups Powwow Grounds. Shelkie said the vet advised the officer to put down the cow at about 3:30 p.m. No one was injured by the cow, which was euthanized away from people. This isn’t the first time a bounding bovine was part of a great escape through the Tournament Capital. In September 2017, a 1,400-pound bull — christened Toro — escaped from the B.C. Livestock Producers Co-operative Association stockyard in Dallas, leading to numerous sightings of it hoofing through Juniper, Valleyview and Sahali before it was finally seen loping into Knutsford, where it was left to wander the fertile fields of ranches in the area.
Accused in shootout off to trial TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man accused of trying to kill four police officers during a shootout last year has been ordered to stand trial. Shane Caron’s preliminary inquiry wrapped up in Kamloops provincial court on Wednesday. The 37-year-old is facing a raft of serious charges, including four counts of attempted murder. Eleven police witnesses testified during Caron’s preliminary inquiry, which spanned three days. The officers’ evidence 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 standoff with police. At the time, Mounties said they were initially called to a reported domestic assault involving the suspect at a home on Nelson Avenue on the North Shore. 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. Brad Mueller said the suspect emerged from the home armed with a rifle and fled in a pickup truck.
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. Caron, who has been in custody since his arrest, is expected to make his first appearance in B.C. Supreme Court on Oct. 15. A date for his trial has not been set.
SD73 setting aside cash for growth The Kamloops-Thompson school district is saving up for the future with funding to address a current issue. The board of education has voted to move $500,000 into a new capital refurbishment fund at the request of the audit committee. Trustee Kathleen Karpuk, who chairs the financial committee, said a portion of surplus funds the school district had in its operating budget for 2017-2018 is being re-allocated to deal with the need for more space in the district. “We’re holding it for if we need it in terms of portables, refurbishing a school, to re-open or a contribution to an addition at
Valleyview [secondary],” she said. “And if we don’t wind up using it, we could always put it back into the operating reserve if we need to.” School District 73 is finalizing a project development report for a proposed $22-million expansion at Valleyview, which will be sent to the Ministry of Education. Karpuk said school districts are often expected to chip in a few dollars. Karpuk said operating surpluses came from multiple sources, including cuts to MSP premiums, provincial revenues for additional international students in the district and a government rebate for its fiberoptic network.

More development in Kamloops JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Two new housing projects are moving forward in Kamloops. City council this week approved multifamily units slated for Upper Sahali and sent to a public hearing a new subdivision in Juniper West. A development permit will allow 54 multi-family units to be built at Sahali Ridge Estates, located at 2046 Robson Pl. Sixty-four townhouses were previously built at the location and, while a permit was initially issued for a final phase in 2007, the latter set of units were never built and the permit expired. “It’s come back now,” said City of
Kamloops development director Marvin Kwiatkowski. A Robson Place resident who bought into the strata complex in 2012 attended council on Tuesday, bringing concerns about the fate of trails on the vacant property that will be developed. Centeno Mauricio said residents use the dirt path to travel north toward Gleneagles Drive and south to Summit Drive. Residents in the area also use the trails to walk to Aberdeen Mall and access Summit and Sa-Hali elementary schools. “The trails that are passing through this property right now are heavily used,” Mauricio said. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian, however, pointed to plans for years to develop
the property — land that is private, he noted. “When you bought your property, you should have been made aware this was going to happen,” Christian said. “This was 10 years ago.” In addition, a report to council notes landscaping will include a new trail that “circumvents the building to the east to ensure public access is not compromised and the active trail network is retained.” Council voted unanimously to approve the application. It also sent to a public hearing a rezoning application for land on Coldwater Drive in Juniper. If approved, it would pave way for a new 58-lot residential subdivision.

Q&A forums abound Kamloops This Week will host an all-candidates forum at Thompson Rivers University during the week of the civic election. The free public event will be held on Monday, Oct. 15, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., in the Grand Hall on the second floor of the Campus Activity Centre. To accommodate a lengthy list of candidates, the format will include five miniforums, 25 minutes each in length. Mayoral candidates will be up first, offering two-minute opening statements before answering questions from the audience and wrapping up with closing remarks. Councillor candidates will follow with one-minute statements. Councillor candidate groups will be drawn at random immediately before the forum. The municipal election is on Oct. 20. Twenty-one people are running for eight councillor seats, while two are running for mayor. To get familiar with the candidates and the issues, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and click on the Civic Election tab. • The Canadian Home Builders’ Association will host a candidates’ forum on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at the Colombo Lodge, 814 Lorne St. downtown. More information can be found online at chbaci.ca. • South Kamloops secondary is hosting a forum for students at the school on Wednesday, Oct. 10, which KTW will be attending and covering for readers. • Former city councillor Nancy Bepple will be hosting a seniors’ all-candidates election forum at lunchtime on Monday, Oct. 15, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at Desert Gardens, which is located at 540 Seymour St. downtown.
Candidates in the Oct. 20 civic election have long eyed the intersection of Hillside Drive and Notre Dame Drive as a prime spot to capture the attention of voters with well-placed signs. One council candidate — Donovan Cavers — thinks the city should outlaw campaign signs on public land, although he concedes he has many such placards on public property. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
Should signs be banned from public land? JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops city councillor wants campaign signs banned from public property —although his signs are now with others on such land. “Any intersections, where you see them all at intersections, that’s all public land,” Donovan Cavers said. “So it would prohibit basically anywhere you have this scrambled egg of signs.” Cavers will be bringing a notice of motion to the next council meeting, which will be held
on Oct. 16 — four days before the civic election — to restrict campaign signs to private property following this year’s election. He said municipal campaigns that draw many candidates also results in a large number of signs. “It distracts drivers and it’s just wasteful because a lot of those signs end up in ditches or get blown over,” Cavers said. “And I don’t think it actually impacts people. “It’s just names and it doesn’t tell you anything about the candidates besides how well they can design a sign. So I don’t think it actually adds
anything to the election.” Cavers admitted, however, that he has campaign signs on public property because it is currently allowed and he has to place them there in order to remain competitive. He said restricting campaign signs to private property would also encourage candidates to get out and knock on residents’ doors. Any potential changes would not come into effect until after the municipal election, but Cavers said he wanted to bring it up now because people are talking about it after an article about the issue appeared in Kamloops This Week.
Two all-candidate trustee forums planned Kamloops voters will have two opportunities this month to quiz board of education candidates ahead of the Sept. 20 civic election.

tenance technician for the City of Kamloops and former lifeguard, has the same goals as his previous, unsuccessful trustee campaign in 2014. “Community, communication and creativity,” he said. “I want to connect all three of those — talking to the community,
making sure to communicate with PACs [parent advisory committees] and support staff, as well as administration, so we can come up with those creative solutions.” He said he has noticed the lack of capital funding in the school district and wants to see more money invested into existing schools, while studying the feasibility of building new ones. Safety issues in the school district — particularly when it comes to bullying and parking issues — is another area
Jensen plans to focus on if elected as one of the five Kamloops representatives in the Oct. 20 civic election. “I’d want to go to the PACs, I’d want to go to the individual parents, talk to the kids, the teachers, the support staff, the administration, to find out what creative solutions we could come up with,” Jensen said. He said he feels the current school board has done a good job over the years. If elected, he wants to take a closer look at the budget.
“I’m not saying I’m going to find cost inefficiencies, but you never know where you can move money around,” Jensen said. As a two-term secretary treasurer with the municipal union, Jensen said he feels he has a good understanding of budgetary constraints, which he can bring to the school district level.

Battling invaders as path is carved through park JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Sagebrush resident who spent hours this past summer eradicating weeds in the Peterson Creek Park area is concerned about invasive plants spreading from construction of the multiuse pathway. “When you disturb a hornet’s nest, what does a hornet’s nest do?” Carman Anne Schulz asked. Schulz showed KTW a picnic table’s worth of Canada thistle and noted two other invasive plants — bull thistle and burdock — growing in the area. It is unclear how long they have been there. Rachel Whitehouse is studying invasiveplant management as a master’s student at Thompson Rivers University and cited development among top reasons why invasive plants spread. “Unless workers are being very, very diligent in cleaning
off equipment before they move [between worksites], which usually doesn’t happen,” Whitehouse said. Invasive plants threaten biodiversity, spreading aggressively with impacts on the environment and wildlife. Schulz further expressed concern about the prickly nature of Canada thistle plants. City of Kamloops utilities manager Liam Baker said any area disturbed as part of construction of the Peterson Creek multiuse pathway is the responsibility of the contractor, Extreme Excavating. It appears several mitigation steps have been taken. Restoration efforts included stockpiling topsoil from the area, with attention paid to eradicating seeds. New topsoil was deliberately avoided to prevent the introduction of other non-native plants. Workers also handpicked invasive plants and hydroseeded the area.
DAVE EAGLES/KTW The Peterson Creek multi-use pathway as seen from Sahali. The $3.7-million, 1.7-kilometre-long paved path runs from Sa-Hali secondary and winds its way to the downtown core. The green along the slopes is hydroseeding done by Extreme Excavating to help combat invasive plants.
Included in the city contract is a standard two-year warranty, which Baker said covers restoration work. “We just manage it by staying on top of the contractor and making sure it’s clear what our expectations are,” he said.
Invasive Species Council of B.C. executive director Gail Wallin told KTW invasive plants such as the Canada thistle are “well-distributed through the Kamloops area.” She noted limitations treating invasive
plants and emphasized prevention. “There’s not enough dollars to treat all the weeds that people don’t want,” she said. Other complications include restrictions against chemically treating plants
near a water source. Wallin encouraged residents to learn about invasive plants and eradicate them while out in the trails. Schulz said she spent about 30 hours during her summer vacation filling 40 garbage bags
with seed heads. The path is due to open to the public by the end of the week, with a grand opening set for later this month. To learn more about invasive plants, go online to bcinvasives.ca.

Kamloops gets a passing grade CITY FARES BETTER THAN MANY OTHERS IN CFIB REPORTS JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A report by the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses has found the City of Kamloops fares better than most large communities across the province when comparing day-to-day spending at city hall and population growth. The report, British Columbia Municipal Spending Watch 11th Edition Trends in Operating Spending 2006 to 2016, examined operational spending by municipal governments in the province. Kamloops ranked fourth out of the 20 largest communities in operating spending per capita in 2015-2016. The report revealed the city’s population grew during that time by 1.1 per cent, while city spending grew by 0.7 per cent. The city’s operating expenses in 2016 were $1,685 per person. City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin said as the city grows, its focus continues on infill and density. That means adding houses to roads that are already plowed during the winter by city crews and infrastructure such as sewer lines already in place.
“We’re able to service that growth more efficiently,” Trawin said. A longer-term look over the decade placed the River City 13th among B.C.’s largest communities, with a 29 per cent increase in operating spending per capita growth. It ranked 72 out of 152 overall in the province. “Kamloops is pretty much smack in the middle,” CFIB vice president for B.C. and Alberta Richard Truscott said. Operating spending by B.C. municipal governments has increased by 43 per cent in that 10-year-period, while population grew by just 12 per cent during that same time. The CFIB called the current rate of municipal spending “unsustainable,” noting communities will need to find additional sources of revenue. “For all the cities, they’re on a very worrisome path,” Truscott said. The report recommends municipalities work to find efficiencies, such as collaborating with other municipalities, making the most of public assets and buildings and implementing new technologies. Trawin noted that while staff wages have increased, the city has been working
to make its processes more efficient. “It’s a combination of changing our purchasing practices, our timing when we do [capital] projects and efficiencies internally,” he said. Truscott called on those campaigning in the municipal election to adopt a small business platform to prevent added costs from being passed onto small business owners. The CFIB noted small businesses account for 54 per cent of B.C.’s privatesector employment and a third of its economic output. An additional CFIB report ranked Kamloops among the top communities when looking at municipal property tax fairness when balancing businesses’ share of property taxes and property assessments. Kamloops placed second, behind only Prince George. Kelowna was fourth and Vancouver was 14th. Trawin said growth has increased in the city since the dates focused on in the CFIB report, with 2017-2018 expected to be 1.3 to 1.5 per cent due to a strong economy and housing prices, compared to the Lower Mainland.
Solid-waste disposal rate goal not in sight The City of Kamloops has a lot of work to do if it wants to hit its solid waste targets. The solid waste disposal rate last year was 700 kilograms per person, up from 650 kilograms in 2016 and more than double the city’s goal of 300 kilograms per person by 2020, as set out in the Sustainable Kamloops Plan. “Unfortunately, despite our
best efforts, the numbers are telling a different story,” solid waste services analyst Marcia Dick told city council on Tuesday. Council proclaimed the week of Oct. 15 to Oct. 21 national waste reduction week. Dick said a public campaign during that time will encourage the use of re-usable containers, such as portable mugs, promote
borrowing over purchasing new and feature a so-called repair cafe at Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore on Cariboo Place. On election day (Oct. 20), people can have items fixed for free. In addition, the city will be waiving year-round a $50 fee to downsize garbage containers. In the past, it has offered that
exemption during the month of October. Kamloops diverted about 35,000 tonnes of 99,000 tonnes of solid waste last year. Mayor Ken Christian called the city’s waste-reduction target of 300 kilograms per person a “laudable goal. “It’s ambitious, but we’ve got to get there,” he said.

Postal union: Long way to go in contract dispute TERRY PEDWELL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The union representing 50,000 employees at Canada Post panned the latest contract offers from the corporation on Thursday, keeping alive the threat of a work stoppage as the busy holiday online shopping season approaches. Two separate offers for rural and urban carriers included “very small movements’’ toward resolving some key issues, said the Canadian Union of Postal Workers.
On a proposal directed at rural carriers, the union said, “We have a long way to go to achieve a negotiated collective agreement.’’ The possibility of a work stoppage has hovered over Canada Post since Sept. 26 after postal workers voted overwhelmingly in late summer in support of potential strike action to back their contract demands. But that initial deadline passed without any job action being launched, with the CUPW saying it would stay at the bargaining table so long as there was progress
in the talks. Many companies that rely on Canada Post for parcel deliveries have been making alternative plans to ensure their customers receive orders in the event of a strike or lockout at the Crown agency. Utilities have also been urging their clients to register for online billing, reminding them that invoices must still be paid regardless of whether they are mailed out. Canada Post said its global offers to rural and urban carri-
ers include improvements to pay, benefits and job security. But the job security proposals are limited, particularly for rural and suburban carriers, the CUPW said in a statement on its website. “For those eligible to job security, Canada Post would be allowed to assign you or not to a vacant position within a 75-kilometre radius from your installation,’’ the union said. “This is a very complex proposal and a substantial amount of clarification is required to fully understand its impact.’’
Canada Post also rejected demands that those same carriers get paid an hourly rate — and for all hours worked — and that the corporation guarantee minimum hours, said CUPW. For both rural and urban carriers, the post office offered wage increases of 1.5 per cent annually under a four-year contract — virtually unchanged from proposals tabled on Sept. 7. The CUPW said it would meet with Canada Post officials to seek clarification of the proposals before deciding next steps.
It has been a frigid start to October in B.C. THE CANADIAN PRESS
Environment Canada says B.C. broke 39 cold weather records on Wednesday as an Arctic front swept across the province. Matt MacDonald, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said there were 14 daytime records broken, 18 overnight lows smashed and seven new records for the most snowfall on Oct. 3, including a whopping 59 centimetres of snow in Sparwood, east of Fernie. He said an Arctic front whipped down

from the north and clashed with moisture from the Pacific. “We are waking up to some frosty mornings,” he said, adding that in Metro Vancouver, although the overnight low was around 2 C, frost still accumulated on the ground.

Environment Canada recorded 1.6 C at YVR on Wednesday, breaking the previous record of 2.8 C in 1937.

World’s deadliest mushroom Calgary one of three prompts warning to B.C. pickers cities remaining in CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — The BC Centre for Disease Control is advising mushroom lovers not to forage in urban areas of Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island because they could unwittingly reap a deadly harvest. It has issued an advisory saying death cap mushrooms are the deadliest on the planet and have been identified in 100 locations in the Vancouver area. BC Drug and Poison Control Centre pharmacist Raymond Li said the centre handled 30 mushroom exposure calls between June and August, but saw 16 in September alone as wet weather helped all types of mushrooms, including death caps, to flourish. The proliferation has prompted the creation of a poster and brochure about the death cap, in part because it is easily mistaken for other edible mushrooms and also because it is found almost exclusively in urban areas of the south coast. The death cap is not native to B.C., but was brought in on the roots of trees such as hornbeam,
European beech, English and red oak, hazelnut, linden and sweet chestnut, which now line streets in Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and parts of the island. The centre for disease control said people should report confirmed or suspected death cap mushrooms to a local mycological club or online to B.C.’s Invasive Species Working Group because it’s not known how far the mushrooms have spread. Paul Kroeger, past president of the Vancouver Mycological Society, said death caps weren’t identified until long after they became established. “There was no way of knowing [they were] there when we brought the trees here,’’ he said in the news release. “It was not until the trees matured, about 50 years later, that the mushrooms began to appear.’’ Death caps are blamed for the death of a Vancouver Island toddler, who ate one in 2016. Experts say full-grown death caps are often mistaken for paddy straw mushrooms, while immature death caps can look like

2026 Olympic bid race CANADIAN PRESS
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A potential Calgary bid for the 2026 Winter Games is one of three that will be proposed as an official candidate for approval, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said Thursday. Stockholm and the combined Italian bid of Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo will also be proposed for approval by the IOC’s full membership next week, while the Turkish city of Erzurum has been dropped from the bidding contest. The proposal by the IOC’s executive board followed recommendations by a working group assessing the potential candidates. Calgary, which hosted the Winter Olympics in 1988, has yet to decide whether it wants to host another games. A plebiscite is scheduled for Nov. 13 asking Calgarians if they want the games again. IOC vice-president JuanAntonio Samaranch Jr said telecommunications, transport and airports were “a little challenging’’
for the potential Erzurum bid. “They have all our respect and we will continue to talk to them,’’ the IOC official said. Erzurum, in eastern Turkey, had also considered using facilities and venues in Russia. Turkey’s latest sporting rejection came one week after it lost out to Germany over the right to stage soccer’s 2024 European Championship. The country had also failed with bids to host Euro 2008, 2012 and 2016. In addition, Istanbul is a fivetime loser in Summer Games bidding, including the 2020 Olympics to be held in Tokyo. Bids from Sion (Switzerland), Innsbruck (Austria) and Sapporo (Japan) had also previously failed. The bid process has been revised and made cheaper for potential bidders, aiming to ease concerns of European voters who have consistently rejected Olympic plans since Russia spent US$51 billion on massive infrastructure linked to the 2014 Sochi Winter Games.

edible puff balls, but the fairly limited range of the mushroom makes the species easier to avoid. “I generally caution against foraging in urban environments because of the added risk,’’ Kroeger said. “If you’re foraging, go to a natural forest and go with an expert. There are lots of mushroom clubs, events, and festivals.’’ Anyone worried about children or pets who may have taken a bite out of a suspicious mushroom are advised to take the whole mushroom, or pictures of it, so it can be identified or at least ruled out as a potentially dangerous fungus. Death cap toxins damage the liver and kidney with symptoms such as cramping, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration usually occurring within six to 12 hours after consumption, the centre for disease control said in the news release. Those symptoms can fade before returning more severely within 72 hours, leading to severe illness and organ failure that requires medical treatment and, possibly, organ transplants to prevent death.

MISSION — Homicide detectives say a 19-year-old man has been shot and killed in an apparent targeted attack east of Vancouver. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Varinderpal Gill was found dead as police responded to reports of a shooting Wednesday night in a parking lot close to a movie theatre in Mission. A black pickup pockmarked with what appeared to be bullet holes remained behind police tape Thursday morning. Cpl. Frank Jang said in a news release that Gill was known to police and investigators believe the shooting was targeted. Jang also said an SUV was torched in Abbotsford early Thursday morning and the blaze is believed to be connected to the homicide. Detectives want to speak to anyone with information about either the shooting or the arson. Jang said the homicide

Police in the Fraser Valley say Varinderpal Gill, 19, was found dead in Mission on Wednesday following reports of a shooting.
team has released Gill’s name in hopes of connecting with those who had contact with him before he died. “This was a brazen shooting in a busy shopping complex and those responsible showed absolutely no regard for human life. Fortunately, no one else was hurt from this incident,’’ Jang said in the release.
EDMONTON — Police say three people face charges in an alleged vehicle identification number cloning operation. Police in Edmonton said they uncovered the scheme last week when they searched a home, where they said they found a stolen BMW and Mercedes, as well as cocaine, marijuana and cash. Cloning involves using the VIN number from a legally registered vehicle to hide the identity of a stolen or salvaged vehicle, typically of the same make, model and year. The stolen VINs are then used to create ownership documents to register or sell the stolen vehicle. Lindy Belloc, who is 42, and Idrissa Diarra, who is 38, are charged with numerous counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and uttering forged documents.

Brisk building year Construction activity slowed slightly in September, but Kamloops continues to show signs of outpacing last year’s record-setting construction year of $224 million. In September, 136 building permits worth $16.1 million were issued, compared to 208 permits worth $20.5 million in the same month last year. Permit values in September equated to $9.2 million in residential work and $6.3 million in commercial projects, down slightly on the residential side compared to last September — which saw $17.2 million in permits — and up on the commercial end, from $1.1 million. To date, the city has issued 1,208 building permits worth $186.5 million, compared to 1,424 permits worth $142.7 million through September of 2017. Residential and commercial construction values have both outpaced last year’s numbers to date, with $126.6 million worth of residential permits issued compared to $112.6 million in 2017, and $50 million in commercial permits issued this year compared to $21.8 million in 2017.

Law and the culture war in 2018
T
here was bound to be a backlash to the #MeToo movement and the struggle over the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court is clearly part of that culture war. The #MeToo movement is going to lose this battle unless there is some new and horrendous revelation of Kavanaugh’s past behaviour in the next few days — and many people in the U.S. and elsewhere see this as evidence the war itself is being lost. That is not necessarily so even in the United States. It is certainly not so in the wider world, where the supreme court of the world’s biggest democracy, India, has just followed up its landmark decision in early September to decriminalize homosexuality with another judgment decriminalizing adultery. Many people deplore adultery, but as Pierre Elliott Trudeau famously said a half-century ago, “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation ... What’s done in private between adults doesn’t concern the Criminal Code.” But adultery was still a criminal offence in India until last week — and a very peculiar offence because only men could be convicted of it. The law dated from the time when Britain ruled India and reflected the Victorian belief that a married woman was her husband’s property. For another man to have sex with a man’s wife was, therefore, a violation of the husband’s property rights and the violator should be punished by the law — whereas the woman was presumed to be unable to make her own decisions and was not legally culpable. The (male) adulterer was liable to a prison sentence of up to five years. The law was rarely enforced, but it was frequently invoked by husbands in divorce proceedings to smear the reputations of their soon-to-be-ex-wives. The case was brought before the
GWYNNE DYER World
WATCH courts by Joseph Shine, an Italy-based Indian businessman who was distressed by the suicide of a close friend who had fallen victim to the anti-adultery law. Shine wanted the law to be enforced equally against men and women, but the supreme court went a good deal further than that. The Indian court’s judgment went straight to the heart of the matter. “It is time to say that the husband is not the master,” said chief justice Dipak Misra. “Legal subordination of one sex over another is wrong in itself.” Adultery, he ruled, will no longer be a criminal offence. The same court declared that Indian temples have no right to exclude women “of menstruating age” on the specious grounds they are unclean. “Religion cannot be the cover to deny women the right to worship,” Misra said. “To treat women as children of a lesser God is to blink at constitutional morality.” Now, it’s true that Misra was in a rush to get these cases settled before he reached 65, the legally mandated retirement age for judges. He turned 65 this past Tuesday. It’s also true there are those on the supreme court who do not agree with his liberalization of India’s laws on sexual matters and gender equality. But there seems to be popular sup-
port among the educated public for his reforms and the cases continue. Next up is the existing exception in India’s law on sexual assault for cases in which the perpetrator and the victim are married. The lawyer leading the case to make marital rape illegal put it clearly: a woman’s “sexual autonomy is not forfeited at the marital door.” There are places where these legal principles are still not accepted. Many Muslim countries reject them (including Indonesia, where they are drafting laws to prohibit all sex outside the institution of marriage), as do many countries in Africa. Nevertheless, the example is spreading. In Kenya, the supreme court has agreed to hear arguments later this month for legalizing gay sex on the grounds the existing law banning homosexual acts in Kenya is identical to the one struck down by the Indian supreme court. Adultery has already been decriminalized in more than 60 countries and abortion is now legal in most. There really is a culture war raging simultaneously across all the continents. It is rarely fought with as much tribal ferocity as it is in the United States, but important issues are at stake everywhere. If Kavanaugh joins the U.S. Supreme Court, for example, abortion could once again become illegal in the U.S. But in cultural matters, progress often takes the form of two steps forward, one step back. It may feel more like one step forward, two steps back in the United States at the moment, but that is just a snapshot of a moment in time. Trudeau once told me that his reason for entering politics was “to civilize the law.” In most parts of the world, that project is still making progress. It is very unlikely America will turn out to be a permanent defector from that enterprise. gwynnedyer.com

After quake, hopes fade for missing ASSOCIATED PRESS
PALU, Indonesia — She lay inside a medical tent in the stifling midday heat, wincing in pain at the deep gashes and cuts that covered her body. But all Anisa Cornelia could think about was the love of her life — the man she was supposed to marry this month. She had not seen him since a deadly tsunami smashed into the Indonesian city of Palu last week, separating the pair possibly forever as they strolled along a sandy beach at twilight. One week after a magnitude 7.5 quake spawned a deadly tsunami on the island of Sulawesi, countless people have yet to find their loved ones — both survivors and the dead. As of Thursday, the government put the death toll at 1,424, with 113 people missing. Many families, though, never registered their losses with police, while others failed to identify them before they were buried anonymously in mass graves. Lisda Cancer, who heads the local police’s Department of Victim Identification, said about 600 of the bodies buried in Palu alone were unclaimed. Until Wednesday, authorities had been photographing them in hopes that relatives could identify them later. “But we had to stop because the corpses we’re recovering now have decayed too much,’’ Cancer said. “They’ve become a public health hazard and the new instructions are to bury them immediately.’’ The disaster has overwhelmed local authorities. On Thursday, a private ambulance brought the body of one man who had been found in the road to two hospitals, including the one where Cornelia was being treated. Both facilities turned them away. On Sept. 28, Corneila and fiancé Nurdiansyah were walking along the sandy shore after an early dinner with eight members of Nurdiansyah’s family. Nurdiansyah remarked how beautiful the sunset was and he organized a group photo. Suddenly, the ground shook under their feet. People who had been playing volleyball and relaxing in cafes along the shore began screaming, “Earthquake! Earthquake!’’ As terrifying as the tremor was, Cornelia and her husband-to-be thought they had escaped the disaster unharmed. Shortly afterward, she heard a roar and turned to see a huge wave rushing toward them — the largest she had ever seen in her life. All of them began to run. The last time she saw Nurdiansyah, he was trying to scoop up two of his young nieces to save them. She survived with serious injuries. Nurdiansyah remains missing. “I believe he’s still alive,’’ she said. Tears seeping from her eyes, Cornelia held onto that hope. “I still want to marry him, even if God returns him with a disability, no hands or blindness,’’ she said. “I can see for him as long as I am healthy.’’
Correction A story in the Oct. 2 edition of KTW (‘First pot store in B.C. will be approved hours before opening’) contained two errors. The province is not required to mail out notifications to those within 100 metres of the planned store; the City of Kamloops is responsible for doing so. Two or three illegal cannabis stores operating in Kamloops are not in the process of trying to legitimize, but are, in fact, the lone stores within zoning approved by city council earlier this year for recreational pot stores.

Student and staff of Little Fawn Nursery marked the recent Orange Shirt Day by posing for a photo in the shape of a heart while at Tk’emlups te Secwepemc’s Powwow Grounds. The heart is meant to honour the healing journeys of day scholars, residential school survivors and their families. Orange Shirt Day is marked every Sept. 30 and is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission residential school commemoration event held in Williams Lake in 2013. It grew out of Phyllis’ story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the school and has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually.

Home sales dip in September The head of the Kamloops and District Real Estate Association is warning residents not to read too much into the numbers from September, a month that saw a decrease in sales of more than 20 per cent compared to the same time a year ago. “We’re down about 22 per cent over what was a record year last year,” Doren Quinton, the association’s president, told KTW. According to Quinton, 234 properties changed hands in September, down from 301 during the same month last year. “Two-hundred and thirty-four is a little low,” he said. “We’d like to see that number around 280 or 300. But we’re still trending pretty well for the year. We definitely saw a little bit of a dip. We saw that in March, as well, but April came back for normal numbers, so I don’t want to read too much into one month.” Year to date, sales are down just over nine per cent — 2,411 through September compared to 2,632 through the same nine months in 2017. While there is no direct impact on Kamloops, Quinton said the B.C. government’s speculation tax may be helping the local market. “There’s nothing we can measure, but we may actually be seeing a benefit from it,” he said. “If people aren’t buying in Kelowna and they’re looking for alternatives, Kamloops may be one of them.” Overall, Quinton said, the local market is in good shape. “Demand is still good,” he said, noting the average sale price has risen by about $20,000 in the last 12 months and is now at about $400,000.

Dark day for Blazer Nation KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The Kelowna Rockets have won the right to host the 2020 Memorial Cup. In a vote by Western Hockey League governors in Calgary on Wednesday afternoon, Kelowna was chosen over the Kamloops Blazers and the Lethbridge Hurricanes, the other WHL cities to apply to host the annual tournament. Don Moores, president and COO of the Blazers, told KTW the presentations of Kamloops and Kelowna were high quality. “We’re certainly licking our wounds a little, but Kelowna’s presentation, like ours, it was excellent. I think that we did a really good job. We were right there. I don’t think we missed by much,” he said. “I’m very proud of what our community did and what Norm Daley and Tom [Gaglardi] did today as far as the presentation. “Our video was exceptional. I had a number of comments about that afterward, about how we played on the 25th anniversary and that really resonated throughout our whole presentation. which is great. It really gave the governors a tough decision.” Moores noted the 2020 bid was Kelowna’s third in the past 14 years, whereas Kamloops was seeking to be Cup host for the first time since the Blazers hoisted the Cup on home ice in 1995. “There’s a lesson here,” Moores said. “You’ve got a storied franchise like the Rockets that has been turned down two of the last three times they bid on the Memorial Cup. It tells you something, doesn’t it?” Kelowna last hosted the Memorial Cup in 2004, when the

host Rockets beat Gatineau 2-1 in the title game. Among the main criteria for teams bidding to host the Memorial Cup is guaranteeing a substantial financial return to the Western Hockey League and having adequate infrastructure in place, such as the arena and hotels. The Rockets met all those standards for the 2004 event and team owner Bruce Hamilton fully expects the same to hold true for the 2020 tournament. With the Rockets footing the bill for the season-end championship, Hamilton anticipates the club will offer a kickback of somewhere between $1.5 and $2 million to the WHL. Kelowna will also benefit.
In 2004, the Rockets pushed the non-game events to a new level, with tents, displays and kiosks surrounding the arena, creating a bona fide, festival-like atmosphere. In an interview with the Kelowna Capital News earlier this year, Hamilton said the Rockets plan to up the ante in 2020. “We want to sell it as an entire downtown event,” Hamilton said. “We’re partnering with Tourism Kelowna and we’re going to really make this an event for the downtown core, where people really feel like they’re part of something. “We’ll have people coming in from all over the country at a nice time of the year and we want them to remember it.”
Along with the considerable expense of hosting the Memorial Cup comes significant economic spinoffs for Kelowna. With restaurants, hotels and other businesses in high demand for 10 days, it’s estimated the 2020 championship would pump a minimum of $12 to $15 million into the Kelowna economy. The three Canadian Hockey League leagues — the WHL, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League — rotate hosting the Memorial Cup in three-year cycles. The last time a city in the Western Conference of the WHL hosted the Cup was in 2007, when the championship was held in
Vancouver. The last four times the Western Hockey League played host, it was in Eastern Conference cities: Regina in 2018, Red Deer in 2016, Saskatoon in 2013 and 2010 in Brandon. The Cup features the host team and champions of the three leagues competing in a roundrobin tournament, followed by a single-game elimination playoff round. Hamilton was re-elected chairman of the WHL board of governors in June. He held the position from 1998 to 2004 and has held it since 2008. Nobody has held the position longer. See KNEEN, A31

personal-best times. Antifay has qualified for Team B.C. selection trials for the 2019 Canada Winter Games, which will be held from Feb. 15 to March 3 in Red Deer. The weekend event featured more than 100 skaters, including a contingent of international skaters from China, Japan and Singapore.
Kamloops Storm part-owner Barry Dewar was livid after reading a BC Hockey statement that addresses his appeal of tampering charges. “My concern is that somebody is out to get me,” Dewar said. Two tampering charges, which came with a $10,000 fine for the Storm and a one-year suspension for Dewar, were levied in July after the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League and BC Hockey determined Dewar was involved in improperly attempting to recruit two players who were carded with another KIJHL team, the Chase Heat. The charges also came along with a 20-game suspension for the Storm’s head coach. Dewar appealed the fine and suspensions during a conference call on Sept. 26 that was marred by a shoddy phone connection. KTW emailed BC Hockey on Wednesday to ask if a decision on the appeal had been reached and received a statement from the governing body’s CEO, Barry Petrachenko.
BARRY DEWAR He said BC Hockey has confirmed tampering did in fact take place, but penalties have been reduced to the maximum allowable limits under the KIJHL constitution. Dewar said his suspension has been shrunk to 90 days and the team fine hacked down to $1,000. He believes the headcoach suspension has been thrown out. (Johnathan Dewar, Barry’s son, had been named the Storm’s head coach to serve that suspension so de facto head coach Jassi Sangha could remain behind the bench.) Fines and suspensions were levied improperly, according to Dewar. “The first step in a tampering charge is to have five governors of the league investigate and have a hearing,” Dewar said.
“That never happened. My biggest concern is that the KIJHL executive chose to disregard the constitution by sending this to BC Hockey without due process.” BC Hockey and the KIJHL have neither confirmed those numbers — 90 days and $1,000 — nor mentioned the headcoach suspension to KTW. KIJHL president Larry Martel said clarity on fine and suspension details is likely to come from Hockey Canada. Martel plans to meet with BC Hockey representatives this Monday. Petrachenko said the door is open to further discipline for the Storm under BC Hockey and Hockey Canada guidelines. In a follow-up email, BC Hockey referred KTW to Hockey Canada tampering bylaws. BC Hockey said it cannot comment further as the door has been opened to an investigation. Dewar, who maintains his innocence and has called the charges bogus, was at a rare loss for words when addressing BC Hockey’s statement. “I don’t know what to say,” Dewar said. “We have an appeal and now they can just do whatever they want. Isn’t that what that says?”

KNEEN SAYS TEAMMATES MOTIVATED BY MEMORIAL CUP DISAPPOINTMENT From A29
Blazers’ defenceman Nolan Kneen, who will be in his 20-year-old season during the 2020 Memorial Cup campaign, was disappointed to hear the news, but says his teammates will use it as motivation. “It sort of sucks, but when you’re going up against Kelowna, you don’t always get those bounces that you want,” Kneen said. “When we go there and when they come here and we play them, we have to show them why we deserved it and come out on top every time we play them.” There may be a silver lining for Blazers’ fans. Building blocks seem to be in place for strong seasons over the next few years. If Kamloops had won the bid, it would have been all-in on next season, with a rebuild likely to follow. Kneen said the decision also calms a few nerves in the dressing room, as the likelihood of major roster moves to upgrade the team this season decreases ahead of the trade deadline in January. “It crosses your mind, for sure, but as an organization you think more as a team,” Kneen said. “If we got a big Memorial Cup, it would have been awesome for the organization and the team.” — with files from Kelowna Capital News A PORTLAND PUMMELING Kelowna was awarded the Memorial Cup on Wednesday afternoon and the Blazers, now on a three-game losing streak, were shellacked 7-3 by the Portland Winterhawks at Sandman Centre later that day.
Displeasure was all over the face of Blazers’ head coach Serge Lajoie during a post-game media scrum, in which he called out his team for displaying terrible habits and poor decision-making. Portland was 3-for-6 on the power play and outshot Kamloops 43-32. Kamloops goaltender Dylan Ferguson, who allowed six goals on 28 shots, was chased about halfway through the second period and replaced by backup Dylan Garand, who made 14 saves in relief. Shane Farkas stopped 29 shots and posted the victory between the pipes for Portland. Czech Republic import Martin Lang scored his first WHL goal at 5:02 of the first period to give Kamloops a 1-0 lead, but Portland took over from there. Six straight goals — from Jake Gricius, Cody Glass, Brendan De Jong, Reece Newkirk, Joachim Blichfeld and Clay Hanus — pushed the Winterhawks into a 6-1 lead. Luke Zazula and Brodi Stuart also tallied for Kamloops, which was 3-for-7 on the power play. Mason Mannek had the visitors’ seventh goal. Former Blazers’ head coach Don Hay made his first trip to Kamloops since being hired by the Winterhawks in August. He received applause from the Sandman Centre crowd when his name was announced by public address man Bill O’Donovan. Kamloops (2-3) will play host to the rematch against Portland (2-2-01) on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre.
The search is on for two female shoplifters. On Sept. 28, two women entered a store in Sahali store, grabbed some items and left without paying. Both females appear to be First Nations. One had blonde streaks in her dark hair, which may have included clip-on imitation hair. She was wearing glasses,
a dark top and dark pants with white lettering down the side. The second female has dark hair and was wearing a sleeveless dark top, patterned dark capris and flip-flops. If you know who they are, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Break and enter leads to credit card fraud On Sept. 7, a house in Kamloops was broken into. Among the items stolen was a wallet. Later that same day, a credit card from the stolen wallet was used at a local restaurant by a male and a female. The male is white, was wearing a black shirt, black shorts, black shoes and a grey/brown ball cap. The female is white and was wearing a

Hubbard earns provincial award Report: Men

Kelly Hubbard scored a point for the Interior at the Tennis BC Excellence Awards. The Kamloops Tennis Centre coach was handed the Contribution to Community Tennis Award, given annually to an individual or organization for work done to promote the introduction, delivery or continuity of tennis programs. “I was a bit surprised,” Hubbard said. “We’re up in Kamloops. Most of the awards get put out through the Lower Mainland.” Hubbard attended the Tennis BC AGM and awards ceremony at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver last weekend. Along with running programs locally, including classes for youth, juniors, adults, seniors and the disabled, Hubbard makes an impact outside of the Tournament Capital. The Salmon Arm Tennis Club’s three-court indoor facility is scheduled for a ribbon-cutting this winter.

Hubbard has been offering advice and making trips to help organizers prepare for opening day. He also teaches Tennis Canada courses across the province and plans to lead more seminars for the national governing body next year, implementing programming across the Okanagan. “It’s kind of cool it [notice of his award] will be in the annual AGM booklet,” Hubbard said. “People can look at it and go, ‘Oh,
Kamloops.’ It’s nice to get a bit of pull out of it.” Meanwhile, another Kamloops Tennis Centre member was honoured this week. Eric Bojesen was named to the York University Sport Hall of Fame class of 2018. Bojesen coached at the Toronto university from 1987 to 2002 and led the Lions during their most dominant stretch in tennis program history, with men’s and women’s teams regularly winning Ontario Universities Athletic
Association medals. His teams won 16 medals in his 16 years as head coach and 12 of his players were named OUAA and Ontario Women’s Interuniversity Athletic Association all-stars. In recent years, Bojesen made a name for himself as a player on the senior tennis circuit, winning multiple senior national championships as a singles and doubles player and becoming ranked as high as 44th in the world in the senior men’s rankings.
LONDON — Male sports fans make up more than half of the group of people with an interest in women’s sports, according to a report published Thursday by analysts Nielsen Sports. The report found that 84 per cent of general sports fans in eight key markets around the world, including the United States and Britain, have an interest in women’s sports, and that 51 per cent of those are male. “This research not only illustrates the vast amount of people actively interested in women’s sports today, but also shines a spotlight on the significant commercial opportunities on the horizon,’’
said Lynsey Douglas, who led the team behind the 32-page report “The Rise of Women’s Sports.’’ “From equal pay to record audiences and new media deals, women’s sport is one of the fastest changing areas in the sports industry, and is more important now than ever before.’’ While tennis and golf have led the way for decades in the professionalization and commercialization of women’s sports, their counterparts in team sports have lagged far behind despite some exceptions, such as with soccer in the United States. That’s all changing though, particularly in soccer, with leagues around the world being established.

Pettersson brings hope with great debut for Canucks GEMMA KARSTENS-SMITH
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Elias Pettersson had one thought when he hit the ice before his first NHL game Wednesday — stay upright. The 19-year-old Vancouver Canucks’ centre said he knew about the league’s tradition of initiating rookies with a solo skate during warm up, but hoped his teammates might make an exception. “Maybe I thought they would forget it because it was lonely, not that fun,’’ he said after the game. “My only focus was not to fall.’’ Not only did Pettersson stay on his feet, he scored his first NHL goal on his first shot and tallied two points in the Canucks’ 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames. He got on the scoresheet midway through the first period, collecting the puck in the neutral zone and then sprinting into Calgary’s end with teammate Derrick Pouliot for a two-onone. Pettersson opted not to pass, instead rocketing a wrist shot into the top of the net. That brought the fans to their feet and prompted chants of

JONATHAN HAYWARD/ CANADIAN PRESS Pundits are generally not too high on the Vancouver Canucks’ prospects of making the playoffs this season. If Elias Pettersson (left), Nikolay Goldobin and the rest of the team’s young players perform like they did on Wednesday, the Canucks might just have a shot at the post-season.
“Petter-sson,’’ a reaction that wowed the young Swede. “Everyone on the team congratulated me, including the coaches. And then I didn’t expect a standing ovation from the crowd. So that was amazing,’’ said Pettersson, whose parents were among those in attendance at Rogers Arena. His teammate Erik Gudbranson said the former star of the Swedish Hockey League
was an “absolute stud’’ in his NHL debut. “One of the most impressive things about him is how responsible he is and how competitive he is,’’ Gudbranson said. “If he turns the puck over, he’s right back on it and he takes it away from you. He doesn’t give up anything. He plays the game incredibly well.’’ Even Calgary netminder Mike Smith had kind words for Pettersson.
“He made a great shot, he put right in the top corner. I got a piece of it with the glove, but, yeah, I have heard quite a bit about this young kid and he let her go and hit the perfect spot there,’’ Smith said. All of Vancouver’s goals Wednesday night came from players under the age of 25. Brendan Leipsic, Jake Virtanen, Nikolay Goldobin and Tyler Motte — on an empty-
netter all scored in the season opener. Goldobin added an assist and veteran centreman Loui Eriksson had a pair of helpers. Canucks’ goalie Jacob Markstrom turned away 20 of 23 shots, while Smith stopped 30 of 35.

Finding new ways to strengthen inner lives
I
keep stumbling across the word “resilience.” Resilience or what your grandma called “grit” is an old attribute in which people are taking new interest. It seems that despite all the wealth, resources and opportunities of our modern society, we are finding it harder to cope. Universities report increasing numbers of students requiring mental-health resources. I even recall one story about a student who called 911 because a mouse showed up in her dorm room. But it isn’t just young people who could use a booster shot of resilience. Resilience — the ability to bounce back — is needed by anyone facing the stress of caring for children or parents. Resilience is needed by anyone who has lost a job or a loved one. In my part-time work as an army chaplain, we don’t simply talk about resilience, but spiritual resilience. You might not imagine tough infantry soldiers being spiritual, but the fact is we are all spiritual, whether or not we are religious. And, no matter who we are, our spirituality is an essential element, a driving force of our overall state of well-being. A QuickSeries booklet called Achieving Spiritual Resilience notes being spiritually healthy

is connected with our ability to nurture different aspects of our spirituality. We need a way to make sense of life and give us a reason to get out of bed in the morning (meaning). We need a compass to steer us in the right direction in a world of complex choices (values). We thirst for an appreciation of something bigger than ourselves (transcendent experiences). And we hunger for relationship with people and place (connection). This last aspect of spirituality, a need for connection, has rung clearly in my own life. During my teen years, I made a difficult move from small-town Saskatchewan to a large urban centre. I found my first year in Edmonton incredibly lonely and isolating. I went from being known by
everyone in town to being lost in the hallways of my new school. It was hard for this prairie boy to put down roots in the concrete and asphalt. Thankfully, over time I was able to make a few friends. More importantly, I discovered a church youth group with a welcoming leader who invited me into that family. It was a connection for which I was longing. Since then, I’ve been more aware of my own need for connection. And I’ve noticed how this need can be filled in various ways. When I lived in Vancouver, I signed up for drop-in indoor soccer and discovered a group of foreign transplants for whom an evening of kicking around a ball met their need for community. It was a place to belong. The group frequently went out for a drink after each game and even met for dinners outside of the matches. I remember saying to my wife that this was their “church.” All this to say that you don’t have to be religious to have your spiritual needs met. Retirees can cultivate meaning by mentoring the next generation. Young people can encounter something bigger than themselves by spending time in meditation, reflection or prayer. Working through a philoso-
Community
spiritual community contributes to their own personal resilience. As one lady in my last church told me repeatedly, “People ask me how I can keep going after the death of my husband. I tell them I have my church.” My hope is that others who have never considered themselves spiritual will consider new ways they can strengthen their own inner life. This might mean regular meditation (transcendent experiences), this might mean volunteering with an elementary school reading program (meaning), this might mean developing a cherished personal characteristic (values) and this even could involve signing up for recreational soccer (connection). So, how will you develop your own spiritual resilience this fall?

BRIEFS ADOPT ARTHUR HATTON ELEMENTARY Arthur Hatton elementary is participating in the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation’s 2018 Adopt a School program. Coles in Aberdeen Mall and Chapters in Aberdeen Village will fundraise for the North Shore school during the three-week campaign, giving the school an opportunity to purchase new books and educational resources that are in short supply. Now in its 10th year, Adopt a School connects Indigo employees, high-needs elementary schools and their communities to fundraise locally and raise awareness about the underfunding of public Canadian elementary school libraries. All participating schools receive every dollar raised for their school and are eligible
phy text, taking a course on ethics or simply debating an action by a public figure can help anyone refine and shine their own moral compass. There are many ways to have our spiritual needs met. But I do wonder if there is a cost to pursuing spirituality a la carte. I wonder if dusty old institutions like the church still have something more comprehensive to offer. Don’t get me wrong. I loved that soccer group and I’m still missing it. But I’m not sure I’d survive if it was my only source for deeper connection. To be honest, its reasons for existing were always pretty narrow. You had to play soccer to take part in the community. If you weren’t up to snuff, you soon got the picture. When you got injured, as I did for a season, you suddenly lost all this connection. Maybe that’s why religious institutions, currently out of fashion, still retain a loyal following. It’s not hard to see how the best of any religious tradition attempts to provide those basic elements of spirituality (meaning, values, transcendent experiences and connection) to all people regardless of their fitness, their abilities or their age. My hope is that religious people might start recognizing and sharing the various ways their
for a donation match of up to $1,200 per school from the foundation. Last year, the program gave more than $1 million to Canadian high-needs schools for books and educational resources. This year, the foundation will provide support to local school libraries across the country, with more than 600 schools signed up to participate. Arthur Hatton is one of 74 schools in B.C. taking part in the program, which also has an online component at adoptaschool.indigo.ca. The online platform allows Canadians to support a local school with no donation required. Supporters can share a story on a school’s online page or “heart” a story, which will spark a book donation to the selected school — up to 20 books for each school.
The Adopt a School program will run through Oct. 7. DINE OUT AND HELP BOYS AND GIRLS Customers dining at Montana’s restaurant can get some free meals while donating to a good cause. Until Oct. 15, customers to the eatery at Notre Dame Drive and Hillside Drive will receive five free kids’ meals and a gift card to Toys R Us when they donate $5 to the Boys and Girls Club. The free meals can be redeemed until Dec. 15. GREAT LITTLE COUPON BOOK The Kamloops ProLife Society is once again selling the Great Little Coupon Book. For $10, the book offers myriad 2-for-1 coupons for use at Kamloops restaurants
and entertainment establishments. Offers can be used until Aug. 31, 2019. To buy a book, stop by St. Joseph’s Bookstore at 256 Nicola St. downtown. DO YOU HAVE A VOICE FOR RADIO?

Left to remember him are his mother Fran, sister Anne (Richard) and nephew Peter of Perth, Australia. John was predeceased by his father Peter in 1991. Also left to cherish his memory are his aunt Angie and numerous cousins in Canada and Australia. John had many friends in Kamloops, particularly in the skiing fraternity.

Q. What happens when you retire, Drake?
John was born in Prince Rupert and grew up in Kamloops. He spent many years welding pipelines in Northern Canada but always returned home for the winter and his beloved Todd Mountain. John was an avid skier and passionate collector of antiques, riverstones and according to his sister, jean jackets.
A. I love helping people during a very difficult time, so I plan to stick around. Having said that, time marches on, so I’ve recently brought two young people onboard who plan to make this their career -- Erin Saunders and Nathan Harwood. They’re terrific!
A Celebration of John’s Life will take place on Sunday, October 14, 2018 from 3:00 - 6:00 pm at St. Andrews On The Square, 159 Seymour St., Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, a donation in John’s name can be made to any ski charity of your choice.

In my spare time, I enjoy riding the Kamloops mountain bike trails, camping with my family, golfing and skiing at Sun Peaks.
An extra special person in John’s life was his fatherin-law Ellsworth Murphy.

Vimy sets the scene for coming remembrance .
SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
J
ames MacDonald doesn’t think history is just about reading the dates, statistics and facts. Instead, he thinks it’s all about why events past still have an impact on us today. That idea is one of many put toward Western Canada Theatre’s latest production, Vimy. Director MacDonald will stage a production that tells the story of four soldiers and a nurse from across Canada and their experiences surrounding the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917. The play is mostly set in a field hospital where nurse Clare, who is from Nova Scotia and at one point presents an adamant defence of her province as the birthplace of hockey, tends to injured and shell-shocked soldiers. Clare is portrayed by Vancouver actor Lucy McNulty in the play. She told KTW the audience will get to see her character before, during and after the war, and watch her fall in love, be devastated by the war’s effects and live with the memory of her lost romance. “She’s the character that is holding the rest of these characters together. Being that container — the foundation or groundwork, just silent and strong,” McNulty said. One character the nurse must face off with is Mike, a Blood tribe member from Alberta who, as Mike’s portrayer Christopher Mejaki describes, is a proud warrior. “He really goes for it. He
takes pride in fighting for his country and for the people — and I feel, his people,” he said. Mejaki, an Ojibway/Odawa actor from the Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve in Ontario, said the play presents some unique historical moments for which he can use his own experience. “There are moments where the other person, who is not native, is almost trying to attack me, whether it’s out of ignorance or just because they feel they can,” he said. “Mike’s character shows so much strength and has this warriorness to him, even though at that time it might have been hard to be Indigenous, as it may be more or less now — but the willingness to want to fight for the country — I use that and I think about my life. There’s so much perseverance,” he said. The character Mejaki plays is based on a real person, as are many others in the play. According to MacDonald, in creating the play, his playwright colleague Vern Thiessen used diaries, journals and letters to create Vimy’s characters. MacDonald would know. He worked with Thiessen the first time the play was staged back in 2007 and with the coming WCT performance, will direct it for a second time. The first was in Edmonton in 2007. MacDonald had heard Thiessen was writing a play about Vimy and approached him wanting to push it toward production. It later premiered at the Citadel Theatre. See TIMING, B4

Despite smoke, 2141’s summer season stayed on track TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
fter smoky skies caused a big drop in numbers in 2017, this year has been a record-setting one for Kamloops Heritage Railway. “It’s been absolutely fantastic,” said Jordan Popadynetz, KHR’s manager of events and experiences. “This year we’ve only lost two tours and we’re actually making them up at Christmas.” Popadynetz said the summer numbers show a big spike in riders. “We had about 170 passengers per train and our capacity is 220,” he said. “That’s really good.” Taking smoky skies out of the equation, Popadynetz said a normal summer season would see an average of about 100 riders per tour. “This year, we didn’t have a single train leave the station without
100 people on it,” he said. “We’re up quite significantly.” The KHR’s summer season runs from July 1 to Sept. 14, operating tours three times each week. In that time, Popadynetz said, 4,170 passengers rode on 24 tours. According to Popadynetz, this year’s spike is due to increased efforts in getting the word out about the 2141. “This gem is right here in our own backyard and it’s kind of our little secret,” he said. “Let’s get it out there. So we worked really closely with Tourism Kamloops, more than we had been. We are a premier attraction in the city and we have the only operating steam engine of its kind in the world.” Popadynetz said KHR also turned to social media for targeted marketing. “The majority [of riders] are still local — Kamloops and around B.C.,” he said. “We had a big increase in people from the
Okanagan Valley, the Island and the Vancouver area.” Among the 4,170 riders aboard KHR this summer, Popadynetz said, nearly a quarter came from abroad. “We had about 970 ride with us
from outside Canada,” he said. “They heard about it through Tourism Kamloops and on the internet or in the hotels.” Popadynetz said the plan is to keep growing. “Next year, I know we’ll have
the same — but, of course, we’d love to grow,” he said. “The train holds 220 and I’d love to see it go out full. There’s been a substantial increase in revenues since 2017 and it looks extremely well for the future.”
Seasonal tours fill October and December The summer season is in the rear-view, but the 2141 will be rolling well into December. The KHR’s Trick or Treat Train will leave the station on Oct. 21 and Oct. 28, both times at 3 p.m. The event features a 90-minute train ride and treats, and each child will leave with a pumpkin. The Oct. 21 event is sold out, but tickets remain for the Oct. 28 departure. The Trick or Treat Train is designed for families with children up to 10 years old. The Ghost Train will return to the rails later this month, as well, with departures slated for Oct. 26, Oct. 27 and Oct. 29, each time at 7 p.m. The event is aimed at teenagers and adults. The Spirit of Christmas includes two additional
departures this year, making up for a pair of summer tours cancelled due to smoky skies. There are nine tours in all: Dec. 8, Dec. 9, Dec. 14, Dec. 15, Dec. 16, Dec. 18, Dec. 19, Dec. 21 and Dec. 22. The departures on Dec. 9 and Dec. 16 are at 4 p.m. and all others are at 7 p.m. Pricing for all events is as follows: $29 for adults, $26 for seniors and $17 for children, with family packs for two adults and two children available for $83. Tickets for the October events are available now online at kamrail.com or at the KHR office, 3-510 Lorne St., 250-374-2141. Tickets for the Spirit of Christmas tours are expected to go on sale soon.

VIMY Going blind with Old Man Hawkeye
I
“A victory of a play” - Globe and Mail
By
Vern Thiessen
Unity forged in battle. This remarkable story of courage, romance, and sacrifice follows a group of Canadian soldiers convalescing in a field hospital after facing the heroism and horrors of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The soldiers battle their memories of the past, as a young nurse from Nova Soctia tends to their wounds, both obvious and concealed, in this striking WWI drama from Governer General’s Award-winning playwright Vern Thiessen. WCT Artistic Director James MacDonald directed the highly praised premiere of Vimy and is proud to revise it here in commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War.

’ve revisited one my favourite characters in the Marvel universe, Old Man Logan, a number of times — but it’s a different old man of interest this time. When Marvel Comics announced they were revisiting the dystopian setting of the Wastelands to do a 12-issue limited series featuring Old Man Hawkeye, I was worried it would be like a bad movie sequel. The monthly issues are released the same day as the Old Man Logan issues and fortunately the story has been fantastic. The series has now nearly finished with the first half already released in a trade paperback titled Old Man Hawkeye, an Eye for an Eye. As a reminder, the Wastelands is a post-apocalyptic future state of North America created when the super villains of the Marvel universe worked together to eliminate all the super heroes in a co-ordinated attack. This new tale takes place five years before the original Old Man Logan book. The story starts with Hawkeye riding as hired armed protection for a transport rig. Travelling through an unmapped ravine, the convoy is ambushed by the Madrox gang, the future generation of Multiple Man. Hawkeye is able to repel the attack but one of the gang members gets away. Hawkeye, the world’s greatest marksman, missed a shot. After checking himself into

COMIC KAM
Claire Temple’s medical clinic, Hawkeye learns his glaucoma has accelerated. He has months, possibly only weeks, of sight left. Temple advises Hawkeye that if there’s something he still wanted to see or do, to do it now. Hawkeye sets his sights on justice for the fallen Avengers, overdue for the past 45 years. Hawkeye is after the Thunderbolts, his former team of supposedly reformed criminal super types that turned on the Avengers. The Thunderbolts’ betrayal was key to the demise of the Avengers, and Hawkeye intends to make each of them pay. But first he’ll have to track them down, as they’re spread out all over the Wastelands. Making his objective even more challenging, Hawkeye’s handiwork with the Madrox gang has attracted the attention of Red Skull’s Marshal — the deranged assassin Bullseye, who is in charge of stopping any superhe-
ro activity. He’s taken keen interest in the fact that eight armed Madrox gang members were taken out with arrows. You have to know that Bullseye has a particular beef with Hawkeye, who holds the marksman title — and it’s been years since he had the challenge of going up against a superhero. It doesn’t seem like an even playing field as Bullseye isn’t going blind, but in fact has a bionic eye thanks to implanted Dethlok technology. Remember that Madrox gang member that got away? Well, he’s stumbled onto a venomous alien parasite that will help him get revenge on Hawkeye. Hawkeye is going to need some allies to pull this off, but his best hope turns him down when he tries to draft his old buddy Logan, and it’s an interesting ride to see if any other retired heroes are lurking in the Wastelands. Writer Ethan Sacks and the artistic team of Marco Checchetto with Andres Mossa have really hit a home run with this series. Even if you haven’t read Old Man Logan, this book stands on its own. Due to its parental advisory it’s not intended for younger readers, but I recommend you check out Old Man Hawkeye, an Eye for an Eye. Randy Wagner is assistant manager of High Octane Comics.

With the coming 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, MacDonald believes now is the time to stage the play once again, and that the stage is a compelling format for a story like Vimy, rather than a film or television production. “I think you’re able to identify more with what the characters are going through in the theatre. You’re not observing them from afar — you’re part of what they’re going through,” he said. The real-life-based characters are a part of the play’s authenticity. Another part is how the actors portray soldiers — having been trained by two military advisors who taught things such as how to hold a rifle, conduct drills and other technical elements, according to MacDonald. The challenges of bringing scenes set 100 years ago to life include the expected, such as period-accurate costumes and props, but also the settings. “We couldn’t possibly recreate where this play takes place,” MacDonald said, listing off locales such as the field hospital, several different battlefields and provinces across Canada. “So what we’re doing on stage, with very simple elements, is try to provoke people’s imagination of what that battle would have been like and what the circumstances were like.” In addition to McNulty and Mejaki, the cast also includes Nathan Carroll as Sid, Mark Ford as Jean-Paul and Bert, Jacob Woike as Will and Gaelan Beatty as Laurie. Vimy will be shown at Sagebrush Theatre, 821 Munro St., from Thursday, Oct. 11, to Saturday, Oct. 20. Tickets are $39 and available through the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 and online at kamloopslive.ca.

SURF, SITES AND SAMBA IN RIO DE JANEIRO Clockwise from left: Christ the Redeemer gazes over Rio, Ipanema beach and the Rocinha favela. RICK BUTLER PHOTOS

T
ropical rain forests, white sandy beaches and monolithic mountains surround the waterway into this famed Brazilian resort city. I can imagine the euphoria of the Portuguese explorers who first sailed into the stunning Guanabara Bay in January of 1502 and, thinking it was a river, named it Rio de Janeiro (River of January), which became the city’s name. After stowing our luggage in our hotel room, my husband Rick and I hastily don beach wear and walk the length of Copacabana with its profusion of umbrellas and bronzing bodies in “fio dentals” (“dental floss” is the local lingo for scanty bikinis). The next day, we do the same at Ipanema, but this time our mission is to stake out a spot for our rented umbrella and loungers to swelter in the glorious day as inert as granules of sand. Fitting in with our mood, a tour is the most relaxing way to visit the iconic sites of the city with Juliana, our guide. We make our way from our deluxe bus to the escalators that rise to the top of Corcovado (Hunchback)
Mountain where Christ the Redeemer gazes over Rio. Juliana doles out some facts: “Built between 1922 and 1931, this art deco creation of concrete and soapstone stands 30 metres tall, not including the eight-metre base; arms stretching out 28 metres and weighing in at 635 metric tonnes.” The limited space in front of this behemoth is packed with people posing, with cameras clicking. Looking upward, the din around me dulls with the peaceful aura of this symbol of Christianity against
the heavenly azure sky. Then it’s to Sugarloaf Mountain rising 396 metres on a peninsula jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean. The name Sugarloaf was coined in the 16th century for its shape resembling the blocks of sugar placed in conical moulds of clay to be transported by ship to trade destinations. Cable cars bring us to the summit for a spectacular view of the city. Refuelling from snack shops on the wide deck, we settle on the ample seating for a breather before our next site. “That’s a cathedral?” I ask as I lift my
gaze to the gigantic pyramid. “The shape of the Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian honours the Mayan ancestry of Brazil’s indigenous tribes,” Juliana explains. The scope of the 5,000-seat capacity interior with floor to ceiling stained glass panels is jaw-dropping. Our last stop is to the 250 dazzling and dizzying Selaron Steps with their adornment of 2,000 tiles collected from 60 countries around the world. In 1990, Chileanborn artist Jorge Selaron began reno-
vating the dilapidated steps in front of his house. Mocking neighbours only served to turn his whim into a full-blown obsession, bringing him international acclaim. Sadly, on Jan. 10, 2013, Selaron was mysteriously found dead on the very steps that fuelled his passion. Samba, samba, samba — the annual competition for this African-rooted music and dance style originating in Brazil is weeks away and our visits to local markets (which I never miss) are delightfully dotted with dancers dressed in their flamboyant
samba costumes to promote the event held in conjunction with Rio Carnival. The steep hillsides around the city are jammed with favelas (shantytowns). Hoping to gain insight into a favelas’ inner world, my husband Rick and I join a small tour group to visit Rocinha, one of the largest favelas in Rio. “The favelas are where drug traffickers and organized crime gangs called militias rule, although police units are aimed at stopping them,” says our guide, Fernandi. We are led through the maze of seemingly ready-to-topple
dwellings, with steps branching off to higher and higher levels — a long, treacherous walk to and from work for the inhabitants, many employed in Rio’s big hotels and restaurants or in construction. “Most of the favelas do not have proper infrastructure,” Fernandi says. “The residents rig up their own water and sewage and electricity.” We can vouch for the latter as we walk under wires hanging overhead like a hearty portion of al dente cooked spaghetti. Some residents greet us as we walk by, kids run past at play, skeletal cats and dogs make quiet, fleeting appearances. Ladies chit-chat from their doorways and a few men sit on steps having a smoke. There is a strong sense of community. It’s back to ocean dips and lazing on the beach of Ipanema for our last day this cidade maravilhosa (marvelous city in Portuguese). Our experience in this metropolis of grand sites was always enhanced by friendly locals with a zest for life.
