Pot shop a go after last-minute vote Historic day in Canada as recreational cannabis legalized; Kamloops home to only legal retail store in B.C. MORE INSIDE
JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
B.C.’s first recreational pot shop opened on Wednesday in Columbia Place Shopping Centre in Sahali, following final approval on Tuesday from Kamloops council. As expected, council approved the store’s business licence, with all in favour. Coun. Denis Walsh recused himself from the vote, declaring a conflict as he plans to open a cannabis store. “History has been made,” Mayor Ken Christian said. Kamloops This Week is touring the government store on Wednesday morning before it opens to the public. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to read that story. In advance of the store’s opening, City of Kamloops business inspector Dave Jones toured the facility and spoke to KTW. Close your eyes and think of an Apple store. That’s apparently what it will look like. “Modern, up to date, very techy — it’s unbelievable,” Jones said.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Workers Tuesday hung signage outside the BC Cannabis Store location in Columbia Place Shopping Centre in Kamloops.
The store next to Save-OnFoods in the Columbia Place Shopping Centre is the first in B.C. to open in time for recreational cannabis legalization. Two more
government cannabis stores are planned for Northills Shopping Centre on the North Shore and in Lansdowne Village downtown. Other government and private
cannabis shops are set to open in Kamloops and across B.C. in the days and weeks to follow. The government cannabis store in Sahali will be open from 10 a.m.
to 9 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. The city received the provincial referral for the cannabis license on Sept. 6 and zoning was already in place, being that the location fell within regulations earlier set by city council. In consulting the public, the city placed a sign on the storefront and issued public notices to those within 100 metres. “No written comments were received in response to the subject application,” a report to council states.

Understanding the BC Energy Step Code PREPARED BY
2017
What is it?
2032 STEP 5
The BC Energy Step Code is currently a voluntary provincial standard introduced in 2017, which groups energy-efficient requirements into five “steps”. Step 1 being the current BC Building Code, all the way to Step 5 “Net-Zero Energy Ready”, which is the most energy-efficient buildings being constructed.
NET-ZERO ENERGY READY NEW CONSTRUCTION
STEP 1
BC BUILDING CODE
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
How does this affect you? Cost – based on the CHBA Central Interior’s research, homeowners will be paying more to meet the Energy Step Code requirements on all new average homes, from hiring an Energy Advisor and training everyone involved in the building process on the new code requirements.
Is this a good solution for energy efficient housing? Energy-efficiency changes should not be borne only by new home buyers – it’s a community-wide issue. New construction accounts for less than 1% of the overall housing stock on an annual basis. More demanding codes and standards will only impact new buildings which are significantly more energy efficient already. The greatest opportunity to effect change is incentives in existing housing.
Have questions or concerns about the BC Energy Step Code visit chbaci.ca or call 250-828-1844.

Direct to Smelter – Precious Metals Recycling Roadshow coming to Kamloops Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin returns to Kamloops October 20th, 21st and 22nd. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Yacht Club on Saturday and Sunday or the Valleyview Community Hall on Monday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin. “Ursa Major has the unique Barry Dick advantage of dealing direct with a smelter,” said Dick. “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as the general public.” In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices appear low but the weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong. Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver, coins and paper money while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are graded and set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewellery and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification. Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not. “If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it is also about information,” says Dick. “A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark of what things are worth; we don’t pressure anyone into selling.” Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984. “Nearly half of the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold. Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce. That prevents a lot of diesel from being burned.” Gold and silver purchased at the show and later melted goes back into the market without

Mounties say they have no special enforcement action planned TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
There will be no extra officers on duty Wednesday and police say they are unaware of any events planned that might be cause for concern on the historic first day of legalized cannabis in Canada. A “celebration of legalized cannabis,” hosted by the Canadian Safe Cannabis Society dispensary, is planned to run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Posters advertising the event are hanging on the society’s building at 405 Tranquille Rd. “Come celebrate with us,” the poster reads. “Get high legally. Everyone 19 years or over welcome.” The poster also says attendees can partake in “BBQ, music, sales, dabs and doobs.” Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW Mounties are not expecting anything to get out of hand. “We don’t anticipate that,” she said. “We don’t anticipate anything significant happening. But, if it does, we’re prepared.” Police generally maintain a high profile at Kamloops 4/20 events, but Shelkie said it only involves regular patrols. Shelkie said officers will also be on city streets prepared to pull over any drug-impaired
DAVE EAGLES/KTW Recreational marijuana is now legal, but police don’t anticipate any problems Wednesday dealing with stoned revellers.
drivers. The Kamloops detachment has not received any of the roadside screening devices to test potentially stoned motorists, but expert Mounties trained to test for impairment will be on duty and others will be available. “We have not received the screening device at Kamloops detachment and we have not been trained on it,” Shelkie said. “So, we will be using our drug-recognition experts.”
Also known as DREs, drugrecognition experts are investigators trained to detect signs of impairment through eye exams, psychological questioning and physical indicators including pulse. Overall, Shelkie said, police don’t expect Wednesday to be anything out of the ordinary. “We think it’s going to be a day just like any other day,” she said.
Delivery companies ready for looming wave of legal pot orders CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Legal cannabis is set to usher in a wave of highvalue, age-restricted parcels in the mail system — and delivery companies say they’re ready. The test of the system will come as Ontario relies entirely on the postal system for deliveries when pot is legalized on Wednesday while other provinces expect to see a fair portion of sales from online. All provinces will require strict age verification of deliveries, but a combination of existing practices and new systems will help Purolator with the challenge, said Ramsey Mansour, vice-president of corporate strategy and marketing at the company. “We have set up the appropriate technologies, training, and processes in place to be
able to address this growing market. So we feel that we’re adequately prepared.’’ Parcels will have to be sealed and not state they contain cannabis to reduce security risks, but they will be marked as needing age verification. Those delivering the packages will also be notified that an age check is required. Purolator, which has contracts in place to deliver cannabis for Alberta and Prince Edward Island, already delivers medical cannabis for about half of the producers, so it is familiar with the added demands of delivering the product. The volume is only expected to make up a percentage in the low single digits of overall parcels and shouldn’t bog down the system, Mansour said. “I consider the volume to be sizable, but in relation to the
overall growth and our overall volume, not as substantial.’’ Canada Post will be dealing with far more parcels as it has numerous agreements in place with Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon, Nova Scotia and Quebec. While the company expects to see an increase in volumes, it will be able to handle it. Security concerns about the high-value cargo are real, but no worse than for other pricey goods, said Lori Posluns, chief legal officer at Traffic Tech Inc, which does bulk medical marijuana deliveries and bid for the SAQ contract. “There’s no issues,” she said. “For us, it’s business as usual and we do this every day. So whether the commodity is alcohol or cannabis or electronics or pharmaceuticals, everything’s high value.’’

‘We’re going to let the dust settle’ Authorities say they’re not going to shut down illegal shops soon, despite legalization MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Don’t expect to see illegal marijuana shops shut down en masse by the province’s newly created community safety unit once recreational cannabis becomes legal on Wednesday. “Oct. 18 is going to look a lot like Oct. 16,” Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth told KTW. The ministry’s new branch, consisting of 44 people working out of regional offices, will be tasked with shutting down illegal operations after legalization takes place. The community safety unit will be able to seize the illegal weed and records without a warrant under similar legislation that enables liquor inspectors to seize illegal alcohol, Farnworth said. Members of the unit will also be able to levy fines up to twice the value of the product seized. Police said they, too, plan to take a wait-and-see approach. “We’re working in conjunction with the city and the city has said, immediately following Wednesday, we’re not going to go and close everybody down,” Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. “We’re going to let the dust settle.” Shelkie said the laissez faire approach could change in the future. “We’re playing it by ear,” she said. “Those who push the limit down the road, it may be we need to step in and say, ‘You’re selling illegal, black market cannabis.’” Kamloops will be home to the lone legal recreational marijuana store in B.C. on Wednesday — the government-run BC Cannabis Store in Sahali — and it appears illegal proprietors will have time to go legit before more private and public stores open in the weeks and months to come.
KAMLOOPS 1ST ANNUAL
RD W AL K WO

KTW FILE PHOTO Carl Anderson, owner of the Canadian Safe Cannabis Society, 405 Tranquille Rd., was arrested by Mounties on Nov. 1, 2011. The arrest sparked outrage among marijuana advocates and CSCS’s client base, and other bystanders were taken into custody. Anderson was later charged with a number of trafficking offences but the charges against him were stayed in 2014. Before the charges were stayed, Anderson’s lawyer had been vocal about appealing the case in higher courts. CSCS continues to operate out of the same building that was the site of the 2011 police raid.
The government wants to ensure there is a legal supply of marijuana in communities in place before ramping up enforcement efforts, Farnworth said, noting targeting illegal operations will involve liaising between the ministry and municipalities. “If the City of Kamloops says store X is not going to get a licence … and they say we don’t care what the city says we’re going to continue, you’re going to be a subject of enforcement,” he said. Farnworth said he expects
complaints from legal retailers will also pinpoint those that are not in compliance. The community safety unit will not involve the RCMP and is designed to be separate from the police force. “The RCMP will continue to do their criminal investigations, but this is strictly administrative,” Farnworth said. There are still a number of illegal cannabis shops operating in Kamloops, with only about two or three within the approved zoning for recreational pot sales. Farnworth said the smart
decision for illegal operators is to close and undertake the approval process with their local government and Victoria. That process also requires an in-depth security check to ensure no ties to organized crime. “Then, and only then, would they be eligible to become a legal operation,” Farnworth said. Bootlegging or selling cannabis to minors will continue to be a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in jail, in addition to provincial penalties of up to $50,000, jail time of up to six months or both.

OTTAWA — People convicted of pot possession could soon be asked to fill out a simple form to speed up the process of obtaining a criminal pardon as part of the government’s plan to address past cannabis crimes, federal officials say. The government has already instituted a similar system for people convicted of consensual sexual activity with same-sex partners over the decades. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has faced pressure to address the pot pardon issue, including within his own caucus, due to the effect of possession charges on marginalized Canadians. NDP justice critic Murray Rankin recently put forward a private bill calling for expungement of criminal records for
minor cannabis possession offences. Until now, simple possession of marijuana has been punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and six months in jail. Individuals are eligible to apply for a pardon through the Parole Board of Canada five years after the conviction is handed down. The waiting period and the cost of applying for a pardon, known as a record suspension, have proven difficult for some people saddled with records. A suspension doesn’t erase a record, but can make it easier to get a job, travel and generally contribute to society. At a briefing held just hours before cannabis is legal in Canada, federal officials told reporters Tuesday that internal discussions have focused on an application-based process
for speeding up pot pardons, instead of a blanket amnesty. Much of the paperwork needed for a blanket amnesty resides in local courthouses out of the immediate and easy reach of the federal government and the Parole Board, officials say. Trudeau said his government would soon focus on the issue. “We’ll be talking about that in the coming days and weeks,’’ he said before heading into a cabinet meeting. As of Tuesday the drug was illegal, and officials at the media briefing said any charges or cases before the courts could still be prosecuted after legalization. The vast majority of drug cases are handled by federal prosecutors, who could decide, in the public interest, not to prosecute, officials said.
StatsCannabis looks to track pot users’ habits, purchases KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
On Wednesday, the use of recreational cannabis becomes legal in Canada. How long will health professionals, law enforcement agencies, policy makers, researchers, the media and Canadians have to wait to get accurate and timely information on the effects of this change? That’s up to Canadians, according to Statistics Canada. The national statistical agency is issuing a challenge: If enough Canadians report their purchases on the StatsCannabis
website, Canadians will be able to track in real time the changes in social and economic behaviour related to legalization. If enough data is submitted, Statistics Canada will be able to measure such data as the difference between the illegal and legal price, the reason why some people choose to purchase illegal cannabis and the number of new consumers. Statistics Canada has created the StatsCannabis crowdsourcing platform for people to post their information. Since the federal government tabled legislation in April
to legalize cannabis, Statistics Canada has been updating the national statistical infrastructure to capture and record the economic and social activities associated with the production and use of cannabis. Part of this infrastructure was the launch of the StatsCannabis crowdsourcing platform where Canadians are asked to anonymously submit information pertaining to the price they paid for cannabis, along with information about their consumption patterns. As of Oct. 1, 20,000 prices have been posted on the website.
Hiccups possible as stores open From A1
Also in that application, the public got its first look at a good neighbour agreement, which is conditional to a business licence. The mandatory agreement, renewed on an annual basis, commits business owners to work with police and the city to resolve concerns or issues. It addresses issues such as criminal activity, consuming cannabis on the property and managing litter. “The good neighbour agree-
ment just points out issues we potentially foresee,’” Jones said. First steps to ensure compliance would be a verbal warning, followed by a written warning and then a meeting with neighbours. If those three steps result in no changes, the city then has the ability, with council permission, to suspend or revoke the business licence. “The idea in my field of work is compliance,” Jones said. “Compliance is initiated by the owners and operators.” The city has been preparing
for legalization for about a year and Jones has been working on a provincial committee. Asked if the city is ready for recreational cannabis legalization, Jones said: “You betcha, we’re ready.” He noted there may be potential hiccups down the road as the new industry rolls out and education is required. He said Kamloops has been a leader in B.C. and added the government store here will set the standard. “This is truly the signature store of cannabis stores across British Columbia,” he said.

She said the school has been locked up for the time being and the lone teacher and support staff have been transferred to other positions in the school district. Staff will suggest a public-consultation process with the new
board elected on Oct. 20 — a recommendation that will be made in December or January. “That may mean closure or it may mean keeping it open if there are students who will likely attend the following year,” Sidow said.

In 2015-2016, there were 22 students attending the school. That dropped to 11 pupils in 2016-2017 and eight students last year.

THE SKY WILL NOT FALL WEDNESDAY
K
amloops will be the focus of media outlets from B.C. and beyond on Wednesday as the province’s first and only legal cannabis store opens in the Columbia Place Shopping Centre in Sahali. Mayor Ken Christian quite correctly summed up the situation on Tuesday, just after council approved the business licence for the BC Cannabis Store that will open to customers at 10 a.m. “History has been made,” Christian said. That it has. Kamloops becomes the first community in B.C. in which people can buy marijuana legally. Canada becomes only the second nation on Earth to legalize cannabis, following in the steps of Uruguay. Visitors to adjacent Save-On-Foods or to the BC Liquor Store across the parking lot will witness a media circus, with reporters touring the government pot shop and interviewing the first customers to walk through the door and buy a product that, hours earlier, was illegal. It’s understandable as the federal legislation is groundbreaking and comes more than four decades after a Senate committee recommended legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana. Instead, the intervening 40-plus years have seen too many people saddled with criminal records for merely using a product less harmful than alcohol and too much money wasted on law enforcement of said product. Wednesday’s frenzy will soon enough taper off and a cannabis shop here and there will be no more remarkable than the dozens of public and private liquor stores throughout Kamloops, British Columbia and Canada. A drive through Washington state today is a good indication of where Canada will be in a few months’ time. In the meantime, there is a novelty in the store’s opening and, as Christian noted, it is historic. But society on Oct. 17 will look no different than it did on Oct. 16.

Sanity needed — stat
T
he latest tent city atrocity in Nanaimo should have signalled the end of soft, uninformed support by politicians and media for the professional organizers of urban B.C.’s neighbourhood-invading squatter camps. In case you missed it, selfstyled anarchist-communistwhatever “housing activists” broke into an elementary school and trashed it. This went beyond the usual squatter filth and scattering of government-supplied needles amid the garbage. The destruction was systematic, smashing doors and windows and tossing desks around to make some kind of deluded political statement. The school district is facing a six-figure security and repair bill. The invaders had time to do this because police didn’t know if they were armed, so they called in the emergency response team for an armoured entry. If this sounds like a response to lowgrade terrorism, that’s because it was. Nanaimo’s notorious tent camp and its associated crime is the latest project of an outfit calling itself Alliance Against Displacement. I started tracing its activities three years ago, when green space next to Victoria’s courthouse was taken over by squatters. In 2016, organizer Ivan Drury bused in supporters from the Lower Mainland to the Victoria camp, where, among other incidents, a CTV camera operator
TOM FLETCHER Our Man In
VICTORIA was assaulted. Drury and company boast of establishing squats in Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, the notorious Whalley strip in Surrey and now Nanaimo. Island organizer Chrissy Brett burst on the scene at the Victoria squat, going on to stage a series of tent camps around the baker’s dozen of municipalities that make up the Capital Regional District. It’s apparently quite easy to round up drifters who have been kicked out of the region’s many shelters and gather them where they can vent their anger against the system that tries to help them. Brett constantly plays the Indigenous “stolen land” card. She says she’s from Bella Coola and, as CFAX radio host Adam Stirling revealed in the only critical interview I’ve found with her, she asserts Aboriginal rights without any effort to contact the Songhees, Esquimalt or other communities recognized as the actual holders of those rights.
Alliance Against Displacement’s mission statement claims B.C.’s housing crisis is caused by “colonialism and capitalism.” The website gives no hint of how it finances its buses, lawyers, and full-time organizers. It merely appeals for donations from those keen to help smash capitalism and disrupt private property rights. A couple of weeks ago, an Alliance squad invaded B.C. Housing Minister Selina Robinson’s constituency office, yelling slogans until they were arrested. Apparently, Robinson’s efforts to rush out temporary housing and catered meals for residents of their squatter camps aren’t sufficient. I asked Premier John Horgan about this. He acknowledged some of these squatters aren’t homeless and said his priority is to deal with the many “hard to house” people in B.C. I agree that helping people who demonstrate they can’t provide for themselves is an urgent problem. But that’s not what the B.C. government is doing. Instead, it is rushing to these staged squats with resources, most recently with “workforce housing” to appease the mob in Nanaimo. The housing ministry advises me that as of the end of September, there were 7,050 people on its supportive housing waiting list. Why would the squatters bother to sign up? tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ON AND OFF ICE IN NEWS Editor: I received two emails this week with news of the world. The first described the first commercial ship to travel through the Northwest Passage from Asia to Europe. What surprised me was this was the first I had heard of it. I would have expected those concerned with global warming to have made all kinds of claims about what a catastrophe it was that the melting of polar ice would allow this trip. Instead, silence. The second email breathlessly announced the break-up of singer Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson. I think it is a sad commentary on today’s society that news of the first commercial trip through the Arctic Ocean didn’t rate a mention, but the breakup of a semi-famous couple rates multiple headlines.

IH SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REVAMPED
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Editor: I am a full-time caregiver for my elderly father, who has Alzheimer’s and lung and heart diseases. We have shared a home for the past two years and recently I have noticed many changes in his ability to be on his own. We receive home support for a few things from Interior Health for such things as urostomy care and a shower. We recently had my father’s yearly assessment done, which determines his cognitive ability. It is done via a series of questions and a visit over a one-hour period. In previous years, a patient’s doctor had the power to decide whether the individual was in need of

assisted-living or full care. Now it is left to a registered nurse through Interior Health, a nurse who does not necessarily have the patient’s complete history or experience of what they need. I assisted my late mother over a period of 24 years and I completed the health care assistant program in 2015. I am aware of caregiver burnout. My father’s recent re-assessment told us he is only eligible for an assisted-living placement in a funded bed in a facility in Kamloops. I know from living with my father that not only would he not thrive, but he would be unable perform basic skills, such as ensuring he wears clean clothes daily, getting himself
a snack or calling for help. What we need is someone to stay overnight in our home while I take time for respite. If anyone knows what my father needs to give him a successful care plan, it would be me, his daughter. I strongly urge Interior Health to revamp the system and change the parameters so that someone who really needs full-care placement will receive it. As it stands now, the only way to have this is to pay for private care out of pocket, which can be about $4,000 month. To a pensioner, that is impossible. Carolyn Tytor Kamloops
EXCELLENT CARE AT ROYAL INLAND HOSPITAL Editor: We are writing this letter to thank the staff of Royal Inland Hospital. My father passed recently and the care he was given at RIH was incredible. The genuine care and compassion he received allowed us to focus solely on the time dad had left. That amazing care allowed him to pass with love, dignity and respect. Hospitals are extremely busy facilities and people are quick to complain about them.
Yet when excellent care is given, the time is not taken to commend and show our appreciation. We want people to know the care at Royal Inland Hospital was excellent. We will never forget the staff on 6 North. Thank you so very much for providing the excellent care and true compassion you did. You are an excellent team.

Candidate
Q&As there is.
KTW is querying the candidates on your behalf. For the past three Wednesdays, we have been publishing their answers to specific questions. Today’s instalment is the fourth and final question posed to council and school board candidates in advance of this Saturday’s civic election.
SCHOOL TRUSTEE: Schools of choice versus neighbourhood schools has been a topic of debate. How would you address the need for both while maintaining neighbourhood schools?
Some answers have been edited for length and style. Candidates’ full answers can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Incumbents marked with “i.”
KEN CHRISTIAN mayoral candidate (i)
WILLIAM TURNBULL mayoral candidate
We need to move to online voting opportunities and better engagement with young and first-time voters. Many don’t feel civic government is relevant, but I contend it is the most relevant and impactful form of government
Address apathy through education.
NICHOLAS ADAMS council candidate
DALE BASS council candidate
CHRIS BOSE council candidate
First, city hall needs to smarten up. There is a polling station at TRU (on Oct. 17 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.), but the city isn’t advertising it. That seems ridiculous. If non-TRU people use it, so what? At least they are voting. I would like to see the city partner with School District 73 to do sessions with senior secondary students on why they should vote when they are of age.
It does not surprise me that voter turnout is low. When citizens feel politicians do not represent them, they do not want to participate. There are some great folks on council, but they are not representative of Kamloops as a whole. A good representative council would be a microcosm of Kamloops. We also need to inform voters on how to vote. And that is where the media can play a role in reaching voters.
Low voter turnout is the result of dissatisfaction felt by the voters. Candidates need to get out and engage with the voters and listen to their concerns and wishes. Most importantly, they need to address those when they are elected. Growing voter participation begins in a big way with the media. A constant reminder of low voter turnout can create a sense of hopelessness that may keep voters home on election day.
DONOVAN CAVERS council candidate (i)
CORALLY DELWO council candidate
If you’re reading this newspaper, you are likely more engaged in municipal affairs than some in our community. Talking to people faceto-face is not only a great way to encourage others to participate, it’s also a healthy way to build community.
DIETER DUDY council candidate (i)
Some countries like Australia make it law to vote. If you don’t vote, you are fined. I’m sure if something like that happened in Canada, there would be outrage. I think if you want to see change and want to voice any opinions about what’s being done in politics, you need to get out and vote. Every vote matters and counts.
DENNIS GIESBRECHT council candidate
The problem with local government for most people is that it’s boring. We deal with solid waste, water, sewer, streets, etc. These really don’t excite our average taxpayer and, as a result, they don’t pay that much attention to what is going on. I think if we can stress the positives that local governments can provide its citizenry, we may see more uptake from them at election time.
SADIE HUNTER council candidate
Voter turnout is usually issue-driven and, while the city has a major impact on our day-to-day lives, usually things like water and sewer are not top of mind (until we don’t have them). Maybe moving voting booths to the malls, sporting events and places people already go could improve turnout.
STEPHEN KARPUK council candidate
Increased communication and promotion of the election and the importance of voting is something everyone can do and can be impactful. Creating some type of movement like the #ivoted campaign and stickers is one idea that has been successful in the past. Moving toward an online voting system or a blended system would also make it easier for many people to cast a ballot.
Add some controversy. Maybe set our tax rate by turnout.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTIONS COUNCIL/MAYORAL: Voter turnout in civic elections in Kamloops is usually about 30 per cent. What would you suggest can be done to increase that percentage?
HURRY ! ! !
JENNIFER DAWN ADAMS council candidate Some of the solutions I feel would help are outside of our jurisdiction as a city and lobbying our provincial and federal government is needed. Lowering the voting age for elections would help. Electronic voting would help and ensure there are enough polling stations. We can also all play a part by encouraging friends and family to vote together, encourage everyone to end apathy and engage in the process.
RAY DHALIWAL council candidate (i) No answer provided by press deadline.
SHAWN HARNETT council candidate My idea would increase the overall number of voters; however, it may, in the short term, lower the percentage of voter turnout. I have heard and love the idea of lowering the voting age to 16. If this was done in conjunction with adding some curriculum in the schools, I feel we would get a lot of the youngsters out to vote. The long-term benefits would be evident in seven or eight years.
ALISON KLIE council candidate As a young, female, Red Seal electrician, one of the main reasons I am running is to add a new and diverse voice to city council. I am unlike any of the other candidates in that I am young and a part of the working class. I am using social media to connect with my peers and, hopefully, inspire them to come out and vote. I am also continuously handing out the voting information leaflets that were provided to me by city hall to help inform people.

LOCAL NEWS CAROLINE KING council candidate
JIMMY JOHAL council candidate
Voter turnout is far too low and needs to be addressed. I would like to see a focus on teaching civic election politics in local schools much the way we did when I was in high school. It’s proven that when children are exposed to political arenas early, they become more involved as adults.
People need to feel as though they’re a part of the process, not just at election time, but all the time. This means quality, genuine engagement without the political spin. Engaging people early and often is key. Sometimes it’s good to just throw an idea out at the early stages to get people’s feedback, rather than letting everyone know when it’s been pretty much decided.
BILL SARAI council candidate Lowering the age to 16 may help as it is the legal age to get a driver’s licence. You may get them engaged more. Also, with the right security in place, voting online would definitely increase voter participation. I totally agree that we need to do something as some people think their vote won’t matter as nothing ever changes.
ARJUN SINGH council candidate (i) This is such an important question. To start, deciding who to vote for in a civic election is an information-gathering challenge. There are a lot of candidates. Voters’ first step, in my view, is the one-minute candidate statement videos done by CFJC. Then, if they want more information, read the Kamloops This Week coverage on candidates they might be interested in.
DENIS WALSH council candidate (i) All candidates should be diligent around informing the public about details of the election, wherever and whenever possible. Experts often say local government elections are the most important ones for voters to participate in. Local elections can affect almost every aspect of your daily life. If you find researching 21 candidates a daunting task, then only vote for the candidates you know, trust and respect.
BOWEN COOLURIS school trustee candidate Schools of choice are a great addition to the public school system and allow for students to choose their preferred path in education. The new curriculum is a testament to the fact everyone learns differently and schools of choice take this even further. What I would like to see is better distribution of the elementary schools.
Schools of choice have been driven by parent and student interest. Both the Kamloops School of the Arts and the Bert Edwards Science and Technology School were parent initiatives. Both have full enrolment, as do the French immersion schools, so they obviously meet a need and a demand. Any further schools of choice would need to have a well-developed proposal showing the educational benefits and a high level of interest.
What can happen sometimes is the enrolment in the neighbourhood school declines because students choose to go to schools of choice. What can also happen is that adjusting catchment areas can result in overcrowding. The board needs to monitor the enrolment in all schools to make sure they are at capacity and adjust catchment areas if necessary.
I have witnessed great value in both systems. There needs to be a balance between both geographically focused schools and curriculum-specialized schools of choice.
HEATHER GRIEVE school trustee candidate
ADAM JENSEN school trustee candidate
JOE SMALL school trustee candidate (i) We are very fortunate to live in a country that allows us the freedom to decide the paths in life we want to take. This also includes the educational path our children take in their education. With Kamloops’ positive population growth, we have the luxury of offering both options without risking the loss of either.
n Yes to an affordable Kamloops. n Yes to rolling out the red carpet for investment.
It concerns me deeply when I hear someone say they don’t participate in politics because they don’t feel their voice matters. It does. When I see people vent frustration online about an issue, I encourage them to contact me directly so I can help, but I almost never get that phone call. Just want to vent or complain? That’s fine, but civic engagement takes a little more effort.
I think those who take the trouble to vote should be given a city credit (say $20) that could be used toward recreation services or to offset their utility bill.
Neighbourhood schools have to be a priority. Students should be able to attend school in the place where they live, not some other part of town. Specialized schools can be more centralized, but need to be in areas that have regular schools already. There also needs to be transportation provided by the district, so all students are able to attend.
n Yes to good paying jobs.
KATHY SINCLAIR council candidate (i)
DONOVAN CAVERS school trustee candidate
BEAT KLOSSNER school trustee candidate
KERRI SCHILL school trustee candidate
There are multiple things that can be done to increase voter turnout. Kamloops needs to make voting easier. How do we achieve this? Go to the voters. As our society seeks a more convenience-based lifestyle, we must adapt. More mobile polling stations could be used across the city, including going to all of the seniors homes and inside the TCC and Aberdeen Mall, to name a few locations.
GERALD WATSON council candidate
This is a difficult issue to address as we have seen local schools of choice become ones that are dealing with overcrowding. It is important for students and families to be able to enrol in the schools in their catchment area. It is important that schools of choice don’t inadvertently exclude students living in the catchment area. I would support open boundaries for schools subject to space. First priority should be given to students in the catchment areas.
KATHLEEN KARPUK school trustee candidate (i)
MIKE O’REILLY council candidate
We need to consider catchment areas and enrolment numbers closely. I understand how speciality schools can be a way to increase student enrolment populations in a school with declining numbers. Ideally, I wish we could have the funding to provide all type of programs to all schools. This would allow students the opportunity to find the interest they never knew they had and it would also give them a larger set of transferable skills in the future.
JOHN O’FEE school trustee candidate Schools of choice can be a way for our district to populate schools that might otherwise have difficulty attracting enough students to remain viable. It can also take pressure away from some areas that might have overcrowded schools. In some cases, we can have dual-track schools where students can be in a special program while the school still offers conventional courses under the same roof.
MEGHAN WADE school trustee candidate (i) Schools of choice and neighbourhood schools in SD73 is not an either-or discussion. SD73 has 44 schools, six of which are considered schools of choice, with several programs of choice housed in neighbourhood schools. The need for neighbourhood schools in some areas of Kamloops is an issue of capital investment in SD73 by the province, not one of too many schools of choice.

It was standing room only in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University on Monday night, with hundreds of Kamloops residents turning up to hear from mayoral and council candidates five days before heading to the polls. About 450 people attended Kamloops This Week’s civic election forum, with about 100 more watching the event being streamed live online. (Video of the forum can be found on KTW’s Facebook page.) Mayoral candidates Ken Christian and William Turnbull faced off first, followed by council candidates Jennifer Adams, Nicholas Adams, Dale Bass, Chris Bose, Donovan Cavers, Corally Delwo, Dieter Dudy, Dennis Giesbrecht, Sadie Hunter, Jimmy Johal, Stephen Karpuk, Caroline King, Alison Klie, Mike O’Reilly, Bill Sarai, Kathy Sinclair, Arjun Singh, Denis Walsh and Gerald Watson. Absent were Ray Dhaliwal and Shawn Harnett. Over the course of 2.5 hours, council candidates were split into mini-forums and quizzed by the audience. Themes of hous-

ing affordability, neighbourhood engagement and transporation emerged. Asked by a mother how to solve a shortage of rental space with more than two bedrooms in Kamloops, Sarai recommended incentives to builders in adding secondary suites. O’Reilly echoed a similar response he offered homebuilders during a forum last week — that increased student housing would alleviate the rental market. “The best time to find a rental in Kamloops is in June — and that’s when all the students leave,” O’Reilly said. Asked if candidates would financially support neighbourhood associations, Watson and Dudy expressed concerns, while incumbent Singh noted grant programs already exist alongside a city staff member dedicated to liaising between the groups and the city. Bose said he is in favour of a
small financial boost to “get things moving,” noting food is often effective in bringing people together. One audience member asked candidates for a pioneering idea to better connect the sprawling city. Hunter suggested a review of transportation, noting some bus routes are empty and others are packed. She also later advocated for a subsidized bus pass program based on income. Bass suggested a link system, with loops connecting areas like Valleyview, Dallas and Barnhartvale. Sinclair said she loved the vision of light rail, but noted the city doesn’t yet have the density. She said she has been involved with a group trying to get car-sharing in the city, noting transportation is still “very important” to her. Other audience questions related to specific issues, including biosolids, McArthur Island, a performing-arts centre, reconciliation and a ward system. Asked about concerns and solutions related to biosolids, Walsh noted a city committee continues to examine which methods would be best-suited for Kamloops. King said she is not comfortable with land-application and Giesbrecht said due to the high costs associated with modern ways

in which to manage biosolids, he would like to see collaboration with other communities. Kamloops Naturalist Club director Jesse Ritcey asked candidates about the best use of the former golf course land on McArthur Island. Ritcey is lobbying for the space to be used solely as a nature park, though the city has been working with the Naturalists and the Kamloops Disc Golf Club on a joint-use proposal that has yet to go before council. None of the five candidates asked spoke in favour of a permanent disc golf course on the site. Nicholas Adams said he supports the Naturalists, while Jennifer Adams suggested finding another location for the disc golf course. O’Reilly suggested a temporary course at McArthur Island until another location could be secured. Cavers said he would have liked to have seen joint-use, but “best case”, he said, is a mini-golf course. Sarai suggested a partnership with Tk’emlups te Secwepemec. Asked about resurrecting a performing-arts centre, several more candidates expressed support for some sort of a PAC: O’Reilly (without parking, downtown), Jennifer
Adams (artist driven, different funding), Sarai (not on backs of taxpayers) and Cavers (something to which local kids could aspire). Nicholas Adams stressed fiscal responsibility and suggested facilities all over the community. On the subject of reconciliation, Bose suggested town halls and meetings to address the 94 recommendations released by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. He noted between 8,000 and 9,000 Aboriginal people live in Kamloops. Singh said efforts have been taken, but noted challenges such as delays to the Heffley Creek Bridge reopening due to archeological discovery. “There’s going to be challenges for us,” he said. Of four candidates asked if they would support a ward system in Kamloops, one lone candidate said yes. Bass said she would be in favour, likening it to the way in which the school board operates. In opposition, Sinclair said her Kamloops includes every corner of the city, while Hunter said a ward system creates divisiveness. Klie said the city’s population isn’t big enough, but added she supports neighbourhood associations as stakeholders.

As Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian reflected Monday night on a “wonderful year” at the helm of the city, the man vying for his chair — William Turnbull — said the city needs to move into the 21st century. “We have the status quo right now,” Turnbull told about 450 people who attended KTW’s civic election forum at Thompson Rivers University on Monday. Incumbent Christian has a lengthy resume, working in public health for nearly four decades and working his way up from school board to councillor before defeating four challengers and receiving 64 per cent of the vote to replace former mayor Peter Milobar in last year’s byelection. Christian said council did a good job keeping down taxes during that first year and noted $50

million of construction attracted into Kamloops. He said he is proud of the recent memorandum of understanding signed with TRU and building relations with Tk’emlups te Secwepemc, Interior Health and the Kamloops-Thompson school district. If re-elected, Christian said he would prioritize affordability, infrastructure, relationship-building and revitalization of downtown, Tranquille Corridor and TRU precinct. “It’s about building relationships and form-
ing teams that will make a mayor that will lead Kamloops to the next level,” Christian said. “I want to be that mayor.” Turnbull, meanwhile stressed vision for the city beyond what he called the “status quo. “We can get the performing-arts centre happening. We can get the homeless off the streets,” he said. “We can get living-wage jobs in town. We can get some of these bridges on the surrounding areas, so we can get the big trucks off the downtown routes.” Calling himself a
“friendly redneck,” Turnbull, who is retired, is chair of his strata council and is serving a second term as president of the Downtown Neighbourhood Association. He makes donations to local groups under the moniker Turnbull Humanitarian Foundation, though it is not a registered charity. During the forum, residents quizzed the mayoral hopefuls on climate change, walkability, cannabis-related law enforcement, homelessness and cardiac care.
Christian said the issue of climate change needs to be collectively addressed, noting the city has changed its development and engineering department in the past year to the development, engineering and sustainability department. “In terms of citizen participation, we have a number of different vehicles by which we get that input. The most recent one is the Let’s Talk app that we have,” he said. Turnbull said he would be in support of citizen input, particularly from Tk’emlups and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, as well as neighbourhood associations. “We’ve got a lot of experts in this town,” he said. TRU professor Michael Mehta asked candidates about proactive measures related to wildfire smoke following back-to-back socked-in summers. Christian called for-
est fire smoke a “serious issue” that is getting worse. He noted shopping malls and libraries as places where the homeless can seek refuge and messaging to residents about staying out of the smoke and avoiding exertion, based on advice from Interior Health. “The problem that you have when you declare a state of emergency on the basis of smoke is that you don’t know where to take people that it isn’t smoky,” Christian said. “So we have been quite reticent in doing that as far as a response.” Turnbull, however, said the city needs free places to seek refuge, as well as extended hours. Another resident asked whether the city will beef up law enforcement with the legalization of recreational cannabis. Turnbull said bylaw services should come around more often to

move along smokers. “Yeah, it’s on everybody’s mind,” Turnbull said. “I’d like to smoke a joint right now, but it’s not legal.” Christian, however, said he doesn’t believe in solving problems that have yet to arise. He added creating a bylaw with a fine would create unrealistic expectations, with residents phoning the city when they spot someone toking up in a banned area. Asked about concrete solutions to homelessness in Kamloops, Christian said it starts with a roof over someone’s head to promote wellness and recovery. Turnbull, however, said that strategy has not worked — but without authority or money from the provincial government, he said the issue “gets dumped” on the city. “We’ve heard housing first, but we’re getting pretty tired of that,” Turnbull said.

n elementary-school student asked me recently why I was running for council. I told her it’s because I believe I have a skill set that will benefit Kamloopsians, that I’m that person who will ask questions until I get the answers. I told her there are things I would like to see given more thought: improved transit service to parts of the city that feel they are being short-changed. That we need to do more for our environment -should we move to electric buses at some point in the future? Should we ban plastic bags or provide incentives for businesses to move to compostable alternatives? I told her I’m not the kind of candidate who, if elected, will slow down the pace of consultation I’m doing now but will go to the monthly community association meetings, schedule get-togethers at coffee shops or pubs. Just as I did as a reporter and editor at Kamloops This Week, be available to listen to anyone and everyone. There are key components in my campaign: We need to take a harder look at our taxation system to see if there are impediments to attracting businesses and bringing jobs to the city, We need to stop using the North Shore -- and the Tranquille Market in particular -- as the focus for much-needed social services. Can we adjust the taxation system to provide incentives for neighbourhoods to agree to well-managed and controlled treatment centres? Let’s look at that. We need to pay attention to the fact that many of our streets flood with every heavy rain. Is the infrastructure below-ground in need of upgrading? Let’s decide and plan for it. We need to bring our downtown focus into the 21st century and help it grow to meet future needs. At some point, we need to build a performingarts centre. We need to start the financial planning for it now so it doesn’t now become a taxpayerburden. Most of all, we need councillors who will remember the public-service aspect of local politics. Kamloopsians hire us, they are our most important stakeholders and we need to remember that fact. D#30150

I’ve volunteered for many different organizations in Kamloops including the Kamloops Food Bank and the YMCA and am a member of the Rotary Club of Kamloops.

With my academic skills and life experience I’ll to bring a unique and reasoned perspective to council. It’s my way of being of service to a community whose generosity made it possible for me to build a new life for my family. I want to build a safe and open community for all generations, one with increased access to employment, mobility and community enjoyment, a business-friendly city, one with equitable taxation policies, and a city where all citizens have access to safe and affordable homes--across the entire spectrum of need. I believe my vision for Kamloops is one many others share. I see a city that is inspired, inclusive and innovative. An accessible city. A city of equal opportunity and unlimited potential. A city where students can graduate to find good-paying jobs without moving away, a city where people raise families and retire comfortably. A community that works together to move Kamloops forward.

s a small business owner for the past 36 years, I understand the needs of both business and the larger community. Councilors are not elected to advance their own personal agendas. My track record over the past four years on Council has shown that I carefully consider issues brought before council and that I make decisions based on the best interests of the whole community including businesses and residents. Most decisions made by Council are rarely black & white. Issues are usually more complex and require research, consultation and consideration when making decisions that have long-term implications for all residents and businesses in Kamloops. I recognize that any successful community requires a healthy business sector and the interests of business and the general population are often intertwined business owners as residents and residents in support of businesses’ goods and services. I will continue to research staff reports and ask probing questions to ensure informed decisions are made to support wise use of your tax dollars. City Council has a responsibility to ensure that your municipal tax dollars are prioritized for the efficient delivery of quality city services that meet the needs of residents and businesses. In this context, I will continue to focus on responsible municipal spending through transparent budgets and participatory budgeting processes as platforms for greater fiscal responsibility at City Hall. I also believe in maintaining the quality of our city services and, in cases such as snow removal we can always do better, improvements can and should be realized. A major challenge is finding efficiencies while maintaining or improving the level of service that the city currently provides without continuing to raise taxes as a first choice. During my time on council I have always taken a fair and balanced approach to decision making. On Oct 20th, Re-Elect Denis Walsh.

think Kamloops urgently needs to address our crime level, roads, and housing. We need to pursue economic growth and look at options for Performing Arts and Convention Centres. I think it is time to get tough on crime and deal with the homeless on our streets. I believe we need to direct our RCMP to come up with a strategy to deal with our prolific offenders and take back our community. I believe it is time to stop the hand outs. Time for hand ups for those who are willing to take it. We need provincial programs that make people accountable and help them get on their feet. I know we can improve our road maintenance and snow clearing programs and save us money at the same time. Kamloops City needs to use trucks with front blades to clear roads. We need city bylaws that make sure the streets are clear of obstacles so the whole street can be cleared. If we clear the streets better, then we will have lower road repair costs in the summer. The two activities are linked. We can improve our housing challenges through flexible zoning to permit carriage homes, secondary suites, and higher density buildings. I believe we can use carriage homes and secondary suites so long as they are up to code, don’t impact the neighbours and fit in. I believe a vibrant economy is essential to supporting all of our community’s needs. I believe we need to define our city’s strengths and goals economically, then promote them. Tourism, the high tech sector and TRU is growing here. We need to actively seek out the businesses we want. Our time is now, let’s make it happen! We need to develop a sound business case for a Performing Arts Centre/ Multipurpose Centre and Business Convention Centre. I think partnering with TRU and locating the PAC/Convention Centres there makes sense for many reasons. I know we can make this work and have an asset for Kamloops! I ask for your support Oct.20th. Together we can succeed in building a safe, healthy, vibrant Kamloops.

Debating bags, taxes and pickleball SENIORS-FOCUSED EVENT WAS HELD AT DESERT GARDENS CITY HALL • SD73 • TNRD
JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Accessibility, transportation and taxation were the focus of an election forum geared toward seniors on Monday at downtown’s Desert Gardens Seniors Community Centre. “A lot of it is about livability,” event organizer Nancy Bepple said, noting about 20 per cent of the city’s residents are seniors. Both mayoral candidates Ken Christian and William Turnbull attended, as did 18 of 21 candidates running for seats on council: Jennifer Adams, Nicholas Adams, Dale Bass, Donovan Cavers, Corally Delwo, Dieter Dudy, Dennis Giesbrecht, Sadie Hunter, Jimmy Johal, Stephen Karpuk, Caroline King, Alison Klie, Mike O’Reilly, Bill Sarai, Kathy Sinclair, Arjun Singh, Denis Walsh and Gerald Watson. Absent were Chris Bose, Ray Dhaliwal and Shawn Harnett. Asked about how to make the city’s downtown more accessible for seniors, Christian cited more curb cuts, audible intersections and handicapped parking spaces around health-care facilities. Turnbull said he would advocate for improved snowclearing on sidewalks. The issue of snow removal was raised multiple times throughout the forum, with candidates Bass, Cavers, Christian, Hunter, Klie, O’Reilly, Sarai and Watson also advocating at various times for improved services. Hunter has had recent firsthand experience with acces-

sibility downtown, having spent the campaign getting around with a cane following hip surgery. She noted a sampling of businesses on Victoria Street resulted in just five of 27 businesses having power doors. “Some of our sidewalks are not the most accessible,” she said. On the subject of transportation, concerns were raised about the closure of Greyhound at the end of the month, to which Singh stressed lobbying the provincial government. Nicholas Adams suggested rolling out the red carpet for businesses to flourish in Greyhound’s absence. Others raised concerns about HandyDart. Karpuk said having to book two days in advance is “not flexible enough” and Bass called for a review of the BC Transit service involving residents. Giesbrecht, meanwhile, suggested the city lobby Victoria to bring Uber to British Columbia, including Kamloops. He noted the ride-hailing service has been adopted worldwide. “We’ve all heard the horror stories of people at two o’clock
in the morning, trying to leave the bar, especially,” Giesbrecht told KTW after the forum. “The lineups can be hours. It’s one thing in August to stand out for a chunk of time, but January, February, nobody wants to do that.” The taxi industry has been known to push back. Asked what Giesbrecht would say to local taxi drivers who oppose the service in Kamloops, he replied: “Technology changes. We see Skip the Dishes and that’s been fairly well received in Kamloops. That’s Uber for food. Technology changes, times change.” Candidates were also told city taxes are pushing seniors out of their homes. Asked what they would do, O’Reilly said the city needs to increase its tax base by attracting new business. Dudy pledged to work hard to keep taxes down and Sinclair said Kamloops experienced a modest property tax increase this year compared to other municipalities. Other points of interest: • Turnbull said he has noticed many seniors homes are on the outskirts of town, but should be
centrally located. • A group of pickleball players turned up, seeking support for 12 to 25 additional courts in Riverside Park or on McArthur Island. King and Johal said they would support the group, while O’Reilly and Jennifer Adams said they wouldn’t sacrifice green space. • Incumbent Sinclair found herself defending the publicconsultation process regarding the McArthur Island park space. The city is currently working with the Kamloops Naturalist Club and Kamloops Disc Golf Club on a plan for the area formerly occupied by a nine-hole golf course. The Naturalists have maintained their vision for the space is not compatible with a disc golf course. Sinclair said the public-consultation process was extensive, noting she is waiting for a report to council before forming an opinion on how the space should be used. Bass, however, said she is in favour of the two groups sharing the space, noting kids in North Kamloops would benefit. • When asked by an audience member, Bass, Dudy and Sinclair all pledged to get rid of plastic shopping bags in Kamloops. • Voicing support for a performing-arts centre of some kind were Cavers, King, Klie, Singh and Watson. • Asked a pointed question about areas of Kamloops resembling the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver and how to deal with the situation, Bass advocated for more treatment centres and suggested tax breaks to neighbourhoods to reduce NIMBYism.

Two in running to fill SD73’s Chase-area seat MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Diane Jules wants to bring her experience to School District 73’s board of education. If elected as the trustee representing the Area 4 communities of Chase, Sun Peaks and Thompson-Nicola Regional District areas L and P, Jules said she plans to be a transparent advocate for the betterment of education for the future leaders. The longtime Chase resident and caterer has

governors. Jules now sits as a director on Interior Health’s board of directors. Jules said she decided to run for the school board seat — left vacant by longtime
CAROLINE THOMPSON
trustee Denise Harper — because she wants to get involved with SD73’s First Nations education programming and be a strong advocate for all rural communities in the district.
FLAVOURS of FALL OPEN HOUSE FRIDAY, OCT 19 1:00PM - 4:00PM | 3300 VALLEYVIEW DR
Jules, 53, said she would like to work toward improving the district’s programs and services surrounding First Nations education and ensuring it is inclusive of all Aboriginal partners. She added she would also like to examine looking at more alternative teaching methods, such as home schooling, that SD73 could make available to its students. “We have some students that the traditional classroom setting doesn’t work for them, whether you’re Aboriginal or not,” Jules said. As far as goals are considered, Jules is treading carefully. She said she wants to first examine the district’s mandate and budget. “I could have an idea that’s really great, but the budget might not accommodate the idea,” Jules said. Jules’ opponent is Caroline Thompson of Sun Peaks. Thompson said she decided to pursue the Area 4 school trustee
position after reaching out to Harper, who has held the seat for 20 years. “Truly, my vision is to work and build on the work of trustee Harper and the entire board to continue to enhance all the public schools across the district,” Thompson said. The first-time candidate said she feels she will bring a fresh perspective to the board of education if elected on Oct. 20. Her goals include promoting the strengths of each school that falls under her area. Thompson said the diverse cultural heritage within each area should be better promoted to strengthen First Nations education in the school system. “My over-arching goal is to make sure everyone has access to education resources they need to get through the primary school years, the secondary, as well as the high school years,” she said. Thompson also noted space and enrol-
ment issues in Area 4. She said Sun Peaks elementary is dealing with the issue of being over capacity, while the elementary school in Westwold closed due to lack of enrolment. “I feel there definitely needs to be a little more attention laid in closing those gaps,” Thompson said, adding that she feels speaking to the people affected by the issue is the best way to determine how to deal with it. The 35-year-old research consultant is married with two children and has a background in public administration and a master’s degree in public policy, which she believes will aid her as a school trustee. Jules can be contacted by email at djules@ cablelan.net.

In area L, incumbent Ken Gillis will face off against Mollie Routledge and John Taylor, while Mel Rothenburger has been acclaimed in area P. KTW reached out to the candidates ahead of the election. Elliott lives in Cherry Creek and has served on school board and the regional board since 2002. She said she is running again to see the completion of projects, including maintenance of the Savona water system. “Once you get a project going like that, you have to keep your eye on it,” Elliott said. Asked what she would tackle if re-elected, Elliott said Cherry Creek needs a non-profit society. She tried to get one started a couple of years ago with lacklustre interest, but hopes to create one in two years time with new residents in the area. “It [Cherry Creek] really needs one because of all the little outlying hamlets that I have. Cherry Creek is the only one that you can’t do anything
CITY HALL • SD73 • TNRD
CIVIC ELECTION Oct. 20, 2018 for because you can’t give them any money to do a startup,” Elliott said. Challenger LeBourdais was raised in the Kamloops area and also lives in Cherry Creek. The School District 73 teacher of 25 years is working on a doctorate and teaching at Thompson Rivers University. It is her first TNRD run. “I realized there were issues in our area, which is quite diverse, that were not being addressed,” LeBourdais said. Those issues include flooding in Cherry Creek and facilities for children in Savona. She wants the TNRD to take a proactive approach to emergency management and said kids in Savona would benefit from skateboard parks, ball diamonds or a community centre. Meanwhile, in the grasslands, Gillis hopes to be re-elected to continue work combatting invasive species. The Pritchard resident has been a TNRD director for seven years — he also has a background in trucking, law and tourism — and is chair of the invasive plant committee. “That work is not finished,” Gillis said. “It’s going to require a lot of effort to get sufficient funding from the provincial government.” He also hopes to continue work on the biosolids file, having brought forward a motion with director Randy Murray to
host a recent educational workshop on the matter. He said he is working with constituents and acting as a liaison between them and staff. Routledge will challenge Gillis for the director’s seat. She has owned property on the Trans-Canada Highway between Kamloops and Chase for more than two decades and has lived in the district since the mid1970s. The electrician by trade said she is making her first run as a way to give back. She noted rest areas on highways and byways, which she said have disappeared over the years, among issues to tackle. “I know there’s a cost to maintaining it but there’s also a cost to that garbage being thrown down our highways and safety,” Routledge said. Taylor, a retired electrician who lives in Monte Lake, is also running in area L after failing to secure a seat in recent elections. Until seven years ago, he had been director for 15 years. He said issues facing the area include poor road conditions, invasive plants and clear-cutting. He would also like to see the TNRD take an active role in reducing interface fire risks. “I’m what you see, what you get,” Taylor said.

Advance voting numbers familiar The first two advance voting days in this year’s civic election have resulted in slightly better voter turnout than during the first two such voting days in the last general municipal election, which was held in 2014. After two days (Oct. 10 and Oct. 11) of advance voting at Heritage House in Riverside Park, 1,237 people had cast ballots. The first day of advance voting saw 581 residents turn up to cast a ballot. The second day drew 656 voters. In 2014, 1,220 ballots were cast during the first two days of advance voting. In 2014, voter turnout was 33 per cent.
“I’m going to say it’s good,” City of Kamloops chief electoral officer Scott Redgrove told KTW. “We won’t know what the voter turnout is until the 20th [general voting day].” Kamloops has 68,785 eligible voters. The final advance voting day is on Wednesday at Heritage House from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. In addition, there will be a polling station on Wednesday at TRU. It will operate from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and be located in the Lecture Hall/Independent Centre. General election day is on Saturday, Oct. 20.

struck the homeowner several times in the back of the head with the handgun. Stark then grabbed a sharp tool and stabbed the homeowner in the face at least 20 times, resulting in significant injuries. Stark fled the home and the homeowner called 911 at 4:08 p.m. Court heard Stark then entered a neighbouring home, where two children, ages three and six, were watching a movie
while their father showered. The homeowner heard a commotion and confronted Stark, who stabbed him twice in the chest in front of both kids. Stark fled the home and was held by an off-duty Mountie until additional officers arrived. In court on Friday, Stark, who had initially been charged with attempted murder, apologized for his offences.
“I should never have been where I was that day, doing what I was doing,” said Stark, who has been behind bars since his arrest. “These are the situations drugs put people in. … I understand that I need to be punished for this. Not a day goes by that I don’t regret what I did. I apologize for hurting those people.” Stark had a criminal record prior to Friday’s guilty plea and, during a sentencing for
a property crime a few years ago, court heard how the death of Stark’s brother in 2013 profoundly affected him. Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone asked for a prison sentence between 10 and 12 years. Defence lawyer Don Campbell, meanwhile, suggested a sentence in the range of seven to nine years. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Warren Milman will sentence Stark on Nov. 2.

found guilty of possessing fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine for the purpose of trafficking following a trial in B.C. Supreme Court earlier this year. Shah was one of a number of men arrested in June 2015 in relation to the meth lab bust on Pratt Road in Barnhartvale. Shah’s home was searched in connection with the meth lab investigation. In it, police found drugs hidden inside a safe in a kitchen cupboard — 762 fentanyl pills, 276 grams of meth, 560 grams of cocaine and 42 grams of heroin, worth a total of about $48,000. At trial, Shah claimed the drugs belonged to another man, described as an unruly houseguest. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Lisa Warren did not believe his story.
During a sentencing hearing, federal Crown prosecutor Kristina Guest urged Warren to send Shah to prison for five years for his part in the operation. Another man, Joel Garrett, was convicted alongside Shah in July. Garrett was found guilty of production of a controlled substance. The meth lab was located inside his home at 1756 Pratt Rd. Garrett has a sentencing hearing scheduled for early 2019. A third man, Derek Sadden, was sentenced earlier this year to three years in prison after pleading guilty to one count each of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. In court, Sadden was described as the cook of the meth lab. Shah, who remains free on bail, will be sentenced on Nov. 2.

Conviction follows large drug bust TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A mid-level Kamloops drug dealer — described in court as “a load guy” — has been convicted on 18 charges following a bust by police in 2016 that turned up more than $150,000 worth of drugs and a loaded handgun. Chad Bissat, 30, was charged after police, acting on a tip from a confidential informant, arrested him on March 24, 2016, and searched his backpack. Inside it, officers found more than 120 grams of cocaine, 196 grams of crystal meth and 60 fentanyl pills — a stash worth more than $20,000 on the street.
Using what they found in the backpack as evidence, officers then obtained a warrant to search Bissat’s Brocklehurst townhouse. Inside the residence, police found more than a kilogram of cocaine, nearly 600 fentanyl pills, 600 grams of meth, more than eight pounds of pot, more than eight kilograms of GHB and 50 vials of anabolic steroids, among other drugs. All told, court heard, the drugs seized by police were worth more than $150,000. Federal Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi said police also found a loaded handgun underneath a pillow on Bissat’s bed. Kamloops RCMP Const. Gary Gray
described Bissat as “a load guy” rather than a dial-a-dope dealer — meaning he would move larger quantities of drugs than a supplier might deliver to a streetlevel addict. “We believe he was at a level where he was loading drugs to certain people and certain houses,” Gray said. “It’s different than a dial-a-doper who would be taking calls and we could watch him go out and just deliver, deliver, deliver.” Gray said Bissat operated his drugtrafficking business under the name “Biz.” Bissat, who remains free on bail, will return to court on Oct. 29 to set a date for his sentencing.

Paul Bernardo, whose very name became synonymous with sadistic sexual perversion, is expected to plead for release on Wednesday by arguing he has done what he could to improve himself during his 25 years in prison, mostly in solitary confinement. Designated a dangerous offender, Bernardo, 54, became eligible for parole in February but has so far not been allowed beyond the confines of his maximum security prison in eastern Ontario. Bernardo’s parole hearing at the Bath Institution is expected to attract numerous observers, most of whom will have to watch via a videolink. The hearing also comes almost two weeks after the prosecution withdrew a weapon-possession charge against him related to the discovery of a screw attached to a ballpoint pen handle in his cell. Defence lawyer Fergus (Chip) O’Connor did not respond Tuesday to a request to discuss his client’s bid for freedom. However, at the aborted weapon trial this month, he outlined the pitch Bernardo was expected to make to the National Parole Board panel. “He’s as horrified as you and I are at what he did,” O’Connor said. “I expect that he will take full responsibility, express remorse, and he appears to be sincere in that.” While isolation has limited available programming, Bernardo has made a “determined effort not to make up for what he’s done — for that can never be done — but to improve himself’’ and has been of good behaviour in “very hard conditions” of confinement, O’Connor said. Bernardo’s crimes over several years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, some of which he videotaped, sparked widespread terror and revulsion. Among them, Bernardo and his then-wife Karla Homolka kidnapped, tortured and killed Leslie Mahaffy, 14, of Burlington, Ont., in June 1991 at their home in Port Dalhousie, Ont., before dismembering her body, encasing her remains in cement

and dumping them in a nearby lake. Dubbed the “Scarborough rapist,” Bernardo also tortured and killed Kristen French, 15, of St. Catharines, Ont., in April 1992 after keeping her captive for three days. Bernardo was ultimately convicted in 1995 of the first-degree murders of the two teens and numerous sexual assaults. He was given life without parole eligibility until he had served 25 years since his arrest in early 1993. Tim Danson, long-time lawyer for the girls’ families, would not discuss Bernardo’s parole bid. “For a variety of very sensitive reasons, neither I nor the families will be making any public comments until after the hearing,” Danson said on Tuesday. O’Connor conceded his client was reviled for his “horrific crimes.” Still, he has “loving parents” who visit him regularly, and the parole board will take into consideration his behaviour in prison and whether he still poses a danger to the community, the lawyer said. “Their decision will be not how much he should suffer, but does he present a risk,” O’Connor said. “The issue is not just desserts; the issue is risk.” Bernardo’s parole bid comes against a backdrop of controversy over the unrelated prison transfer of another convicted child killer, TerriLynne McClintic. Recent word that McClintic, who helped her boyfriend Michael Rafferty kidnap, rape and kill eightyear-old Victoria (Tori) Stafford in Woodstock, Ont. in 2008, had been moved to an Indigenous-centric prison in Saskatchewan known as a healing lodge sparked an uproar that reached the House of Commons. The Conservative opposition jumped on the issue as proof the Liberal government was soft on crime.

ARTIST ZUBE AYLWARD FOUND DEAD FOLLOWING A REPORT OF KIDNAPPING NEAR LILLOOET LORA GRINDLAY
VANCOUVER SUN
A life lived as an eccentric artist who pursued his passions by building unique and out of the ordinary houses in B.C. came to a horrific end Saturday when Zube Aylward was killed at his Seton Portage home. The killing of the 71-year-old has rocked the tiny, unincorporated town of just 400 people about a 70-kilometre drive west of Lillooet. There, Aylward was known as a solitary but friendly man who lived with his wife Patricia at his remote and elaborately built home on the shores of Anderson Lake. The front of his Highline Road home was adorned with a 10-foothigh stone and glass mushroom sculpture, reminiscent of his iconic Mushroom House, the 3,000-square-foot home he built in Whistler’s Emerald Estates that was inspired by the glacial formations found around Whistler.
The body of 71-year-old Zube Aylward was found on a rural road outside Seton Portage on Oct. 13.
His Seton Portage property also included a greenhouse where he had been growing marijuana for a number of years, which was no secret to area residents who say he occasionally hired locals to help tend to his crops. Mounties would only
say that they received a report of a kidnapping and suspicious death mid-day Saturday before arriving at the property and finding the body of a male, who they did not name. “Due to the circumstances of this incident, the Southeast
District Major Crime Unit has taken carriage of the investigation, and is being assisted by the Lillooet RCMP Detachment and the RCMP Southeast District Forensic Identification Services,” said Cpl. Madonna Saunderson in a news release.
“This appears to be an isolated incident and investigators have no information to suggest that the greater public is at further risk.” But Seton Portage volunteer fire chief Frank Richings told Postmedia News that Aylward was the victim of a home
invasion-style robbery and that his wife, who is now staying in a Seton Portage hotel, narrowly escaped the assailants and alerted police. Richings said Aylward was well established in the community for at least 15 years and described his house as “quite fancy,” with extensive stone work that reminded some of a European castle. “I’ve only met him about four times. He seemed very nice. European and maybe a little eccentric,” Richings said. “I would definitely say he has money. All the work done around his place didn’t get done with no money. He lived quite isolated out there.” The remote location of his home about 10 miles from the town, his marijuana grow operation and the appearance that he was a wealthy man could have made him a target, Richings said. Aylward sold his Mushroom House in Whistler for a reported
$3.5 million in 2007. It was a 25-year project for the artist and the interior was based on the anatomy of a tree, with a sauna in the roots and a bedroom in the secondlevel canopy. Richings said Aylward’s marijuana crop likely exceeded 100 plants. It is not known where or to whom he was selling the pot. He said police have provided very little information on the killing and unconfirmed reports about the gruesome nature of his death are being passed among residents. “The town itself is sickened,” he said. “Even though you don’t know the guy that well, he seemed like a nice guy, pretty friendly. Quite a few people are upset. There is a lack of knowledge about what went on. “A lot of people are concerned. Is this something we can expect again?” Reached by phone, Aylward’s brother, Dale, declined to comment on his brother’s death.
Bell believed it would suffer ‘commercial harm’ by running far-right Toronto candidate’s election ad: documents JOSEPH BREAN
VANCOUVER SUN
Bell Media is concerned it would violate laws against spreading racist messages of hate were it to run a television advertisement for Faith Goldy, a controversial farright fringe candidate for mayor of Toronto. The regulations that govern broadcasters in Canada prohibit content that is false or misleading, or which “tends to expose an individual or a group or class of individuals to hatred or contempt on the basis of race,” according to legal documents filed late Friday with the Ontario Superior Court in response to a lawsuit Goldy filed earlier this week. Bell argues those rules do not give Goldy “an unqualified right to have her advertising broadcast.” The company is defending its decision to refund Goldy’s money and refuse to run her ad on its news channel, CP24. It describes Goldy as a “fringe candidate in the Toronto Mayoral election” who has polled at a little over one per cent. A hearing this Monday will consider whether Ontario
FAITH GOLDY Superior Court can even hear Goldy’s complaint that the broadcaster violated her constitutional right to freely express herself as a registered candidate for mayor in the city’s Oct. 22 election. “This case is not merely a case about breach of contract. It is about how a democracy functions,” said Clayton Ruby, a prominent civil rights lawyer who is acting for Goldy. Bell’s legal filing cites sources including the magazine GQ, which
called Goldy “one of Canada’s most prominent propagandists of the ‘white genocide’ conspiracy theory, a foundational conceit of modern white supremacists.” It cites the Winnipeg Free Press calling her a “white nationalist,” and quotes her saying that humans, like, birds, tend naturally to “go with their own,” and when they do not, they are preyed upon, as in modern Europe. Bell notes that Goldy, who has built a following online by promoting anti-immigrant and anti-Islamic sentiment, has been removed from Patreon, a crowdfunding website, and PayPal, which processes payments, for violating their hate speech policies. It also says that once word spread in late September that CP24 was going to air Goldy’s ads, NDP MP Charlie Angus was among several people whose complaints led Bell to conclude CP24 “would suffer commercial harm from its viewers if it ran the ads.” Bell also claims Goldy’s request for an emergency injunction forcing Bell to take her money and run her ads should be dismissed because it is in the wrong court.
There is an expert tribunal in place to interpret and enforce Canada’s broadcasting regulations, taking into the account policy goals set by Parliament. It would have to balance Goldy’s complaint against “the need for a broadcasting system that reflects the ‘multicultural and multiracial nature of Canadian society’ and provides for programming of a ‘high standard,’” Bell’s materials say. It will have to also take into account Bell’s own freedom of expression and “programming independence.” Faith Goldy is suing Bell for not airing an ad on its CP24 network. Faith Goldy/Instagram Bell makes the point that Ruby, Goldy’s “experienced counsel,” ought to have known this jurisdictional problem, so her delay in filing should not be the basis to go against precedent and allow the case to proceed. The urgency that Goldy claims as a reason for Ontario Superior Court to intervene is “entirely of her own making,” Bell claims. “Despite being advised that Bell did not wish to do business with her more than two weeks ago, [Goldy] elected to bring this
application only on Tuesday of this week, in the wrong forum,” Bell claims. “Until yesterday, (she) took no steps to even ask the CRTC if it would hear and resolve this dispute before the election. Through her inaction and choice of litigation strategy she cannot confer jurisdiction on the Ontario Superior Court that should be properly exercised by the CRTC.” If Goldy wants to enforce CRTC rules against Bell, “she should be seeking a mandatory order from the CRTC,” Bell’s materials say. “The law is clear that provincial Superior Courts do not have the jurisdiction and should not interpret and apply the CRTC regulations. That is a matter for the CRTC, an expert tribunal constituted by Parliament and subject to appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal.” Bell even makes an election prediction, arguing that Goldy is not going to win any which way. “It is not as though an inability to obtain the relief sought [ads on CP24] can or will have any realistic impact on the outcome of the election. She is currently polling at 1.6% with only a few days before the election,” Bell’s reply reads.

GIVING EVERYONE A PLATFORM
Valleyview Overlanders Lions Club members Dennis Bartlett (left) and Rob Swerdfeger continue working on a building a viewing deck at the Dufferin Wetlands Project. The 24-foot by 24-foot raised deck will feature educational plaques and will eventually be connected to a raised boardwalk, offering up-close viewing of pond life. The community enhancement project is jointly financed by three Lions clubs: Kamloops Paddlewheelers, Valleyview Overlanders and Kamloops Brock Central. The wetlands project is next to Dufferin elementary, at Hillside Drive and Copperhead Drive. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
Author hoping to use book as a teaching tool TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man has written a children’s book about life as a little person — something he says can be challenging for kids to encounter. Riley Windeler’s book, A Race for Tommy, is in the process of being illustrated. He said it took him more than two years to write. “I thought, ‘Grown-up little people like myself, we face challenges and have opportunities, but kids point and stare,’” the 28-year-old Windeler told KTW. “They don’t have the education. So, it’s hopefully a way to advocate for that.” Windeler said his book
is based on his own experiences growing up as a dwarf in Horsefly, near Willians Lake. “The book is about a race from my childhood,” he said. “At my first sports day, I was racing against my friends and I thought I was going to win.” Windeler said his short stature, even as a six-year-old, proved an impediment against his lankier opponents. “That was devastating to me,” he said. “It was one of the first times that I learned that I was a dwarf.” Fast forward about five years and Windeler was atop a podium after winning gold in a track event at the 2001 World Dwarf Games. “It was going from losing the first one to winning that one and showing that there
are challenges in life but also opportunities,” he said. “The main focus is to teach that lesson. I plan on taking the book into schools and I’ve been approached by a few schools now to take it in and share my story.” Windeler said he does not want to guess at when the book might hit shelves, but said the process has been enjoyable. “It’s been very exciting,” he said. “It’s always been an interest of mine.” KTW will publish an update when the book hits stores.

In Kamloops, a Repair Café on election day “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.

What do you do with a broken toaster? Or with a bike with a busted wheel? Toss it? Nope. As part of Waste Reduction Week, Habitat for Humanity Kamloops, Kamloops Makerspace and Transition Kamloops are hosting a Repair Café. The event will take place at Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore location at 1425 Cariboo Pl. on civic election day, Saturday, Oct. 20, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Various volunteer repair experts will be available to advise, assist and help owners of broken items — free of charge. Anything that is broken — except computers and cellphones — is welcome. The Repair Café specialists almost always have the know-how and can advise and teach on how to carry out the repair. SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN While it may seem premature to break out into Christmas carols and bust out the twinkly lights, the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association is calling for participants in advance of this year’s Santa Claus Parade.
The parade will be held on Nov. 24 in the city’s core and this year’s theme will be Retro Rockin’ Christmas. Participants are asked to decorate floats to match a musical genre or decade of their choosing or impersonate their favourite rock stars. Floats will be juried. Commercial businesses will be charged $100 and non-profits will be charged $50. To register, go online to http://www.downtownkamloops. com/2018-santa-claus-parade-sign/. Payment is due via mail-in cheque or e-transfer within a week of entering. The registration deadline is Oct. 26. CALL IS OUT FOR YOUNG DRAGONS Community Futures Thompson Country partnered with Community Futures of Central Interior First Nations is calling on all aspiring student entrepreneurs to present their business concepts and potentially compete in a live audition of Junior Dragons’ Den, modelled after CBC’s Dragons’ Den.

Kamloops Word Walk to take its first steps on Friday The first-ever Kamloops Word Walk will take place in downtown Kamloops this Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. All activities will be free and family-friendly. The Kamloops Museum and Archives (at Second Avenue and Seymour Street), the Kamloops Library (at Fifth Avenue and Victoria Street), the North Kamloops Library
(at 693 Tranquille Rd.) and a dozen businesses in and near the 200, 300 and 400-blocks of Victoria Street will host word-related activities. The Word Walk is a community day addon to the longstanding Words Alive Kamloops Festival (previously known as the Kamloops Writers Festival). “Think Art Walk, but with words,” said organizer Tamara Vukusic.
“Words that are shared — written, read or spoken. “It’s about the community coming together to appreciate the power of playing with words and, if they choose, sharing them with others.” Activities hosted by businesses will include paint chip poetry, book tasting, snowball writing, a community story wall, alliteration letter
grab, old-school typewriters, free little libraries and poetry busking. Hourly workshops will be held at the Kamloops Museum and Archives, including a haiku workshop and Secwepemc storytelling. A large magnetic poetry wall will be hosted by the Kamloops Library. Visitors to the North Kamloops Library can try their hand at black-
out poetry. Art will meet the Secwepemc word with local artist and poet Chris Bose from 11 a.m. to noon in the 200block of Victoria Street. With help from Bose and some chalk, participants can dress up the sidewalk with the Secwepemc alphabet while listening to transformation stories. Kamloops Word Walk maps will be available
at the museum and archives, at both libraries and at businesses along Victoria Street. The map will double as an event passport, with a draw for prizes for those who visit Word Walk activities. “We plan to make the Kamloops Word Walk an annual community-wide event,” said JP Baker of Words Alive Kamloops and the Kamloops Society for
the Written Arts. “It doesn’t matter whether or not you consider yourself a reader or a writer; we live in words “ Words Alive Kamloops will take place in Hotel 540 (540 Victoria St. downtown) from Friday through Sunday with various events and speakers. For more information, go online to words alivekamloops.com.
Workshop set for caregivers The Alzheimer’s Resource Centre in Kamloops is hosting a free workshop next week for family members who are caring for a person with dementia. Participants will learn about dementia, practical coping strategies and early planning. The workshop, The Heads Up: An Introduction to Brain Health, will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 10 a.m. to noon. This workshop encourages participants to engage in protecting and maintaining their brain. It also teaches strategies and set goals for improving the health of mind, body and spirit. Anyone interested in brain health is welcome to attend. All workshops will be held at the Alzheimer’s Resource Centre downtown at 405-235 First Ave. Workshops are free to attend, but donations are appreciated. For more information and to register, call 250377-8200 or email info.kamloops@alzheimerbc. org.
Liquor store patrons chip in BC Liquor Stores customers donated $159,000 to the Canadian Red Cross during a campaign to assist those impacted by this year’s wildfires — and the province will be matching the donation. The top three locations to collect funds were in Port Coquitlam, Sooke and Terrace. Money will go directly to the Red Cross to help evacuees with shelter, food and water, as well as to support long-term recovery and preparation in advance of future wildfire events in the province. Earlier this year, BC Liquor Stores raised more than $65,000 in donations to help flood victims.
Local generosity Triple O’s guests supporting the ninth annual KidSport Day helped raise more than $80,000 to help financially underprivileged kids participate in team sports. On Sept. 28th, a loonie from the sale of every combo sold at Triple O’s locations throughout the province was donated to KidSport BC. Kamloops residents did their part by raising $2,419 to get kids off the sidelines and onto the field.

Kamloops is considered to be ahead of other communities in providing exercise options for people — including those with mobility issues. Karen Cooper, director of allied health for Interior Heath, said there are strong partnerships to ensure a community approach to health. The City of Kamloops, for example, has prioritized recreation for everyone. Health and wellness supervisor Linda Stride said it is part of community-development co-ordinator Ben Chobater’s job to help people who want to get involved with any programs the city operates if they have physical or cognitive challenges. Among offerings from the city is EZ Line equipment at the Tournament Capital Centre on McGill Road, which it bought in partnership with Interior Health Authority about a decade ago. EZ Line is gentle circuit air-resistant equipment — no weights are involved — that can be adapted to accommodate wheelchairs. Through its strategic health alliance, the city offers twice-weekly programs aimed at people with chronic vascular and pulmonary issues. It also has the Sensational Survivors program for women living
with cancer. Stride said many of the programs appeal to seniors and others with physical or cognitive issues. Meghan Hiemstra, general manager of health, fitness and recreation for the Kamloops Community YMCA-YWCA, also oversees many programs designed for people with mobility issues. At its John Tod Community Centre on the North Shore, it has fully accessible equipment, including bikes that can accommodate wheelchairs — the cycles can be arm-driven — that can be pedalled forward or in reverse. Through a grant from Interior Savings Centre, the Y is buying Active Hands, gripping aids to address issues for people using their hands. Those will be available at the John Tod and downtown Y facilities. The Y has a program for people living with Parkinson’s disease and, Hiemstra said, one of its graduates went on to become a Dyoga instructor and teaches yoga to others at the Y locations. There is also Choose To Move’s six-month program for those 65 and older and Minds in Motion, run alongside the Alzheimer’s Society, that provides 45-minute sessions for caregivers or family members of those with that disease.

The corner of Tranquille Road and Clapperton Road, one part of the land Arpa has purchased. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
Arpa all in on Tranquille Road
A
developer who has been scooping up property in the Tranquille corridor has purchased 1.5 acres between Wood Street and Clapperton Road, with plans for a threephase project in the next five to six years that would include a residential building, a hotel and a technology and arts centre. “There’s going to be some incredible things happening along this corridor,” Joshua Knaak of Arpa Investments said. Arpa Investments — the same developer behind social housing that will rise at nearby Spirit Square and The Station on Tranquille condo development now under construction in the 200-block of Tranquille — announced on Friday afternoon outside of Kamloops Innovation Centre preliminary plans for
what he estimated to be an eventual $50-million investment in the area. Arpa Investments purchased the land, currently home to Kamloops Innovation Centre and parking, from Mike Rink in August. Arpa’s five staffers will be moving in on Monday, having nearly completed their first task of minor renovations to the building: repairing a leaky roof, landscaping, HVAC work and replacement of a green exterior with medal siding. Recent plans to add another floor to Kamloops Innovation Centre fell through for unknown reasons. Renovations have been about five years in the making. “You get used to what you’re in, but for clients and potential customers and potential partners, it’s nice to have a building that you can bring them to that you can be proud of, so that’s the hugest change for us,” Kamloops Innovation Centre executive
director Lincoln Smith said. Visions for the property would mean the eventual destruction of that building, the final stage in a three-part build that will start with a six-storey technology-arts centre erected in the middle of the property. Resembling Accelerate Okanagan in Kelowna, the first floor would be a to-bedetermined arts space. Knaak said he has been speaking with groups such as Kamloops Music Collective, Western Canada Theatre and Kamloops Arts Council to determine need from the arts community. “What the arts community has said loud and clear for us is, ‘We’d love to expand a presence onto the North Shore,’” Knaak said. “And we’d love to see that happen as well.” If all goes according to plan, businesses and Kamloops Innovation Centre would move upstairs. The non-profit organization aims to raise $10 million to pay for an expanded space

accommodating more companies and workers in that building, as well more activities, including training. “I think I’ll be telling the story of what’s possible in the building,” Smith said. “For us, for Kamloops Innovation, it’s a great opportunity. It doesn’t come around very often, so it’s our challenge to find the funding that will get our organization that is a
non-profit into that building and be able to expand into it. We’ll be seeking support and having conversations with the city, having conversations with the province and there’s other funding agencies around capacitybuilding outside of Vancouver in the digital technologies and we’re already talking with them.” See PLANS, A32

Plans include hotel, demolition of KIC building From A31
Kamloops Innovation Centre is currently home to 16 technology companies and has space for about four or five more. The combined monthly payroll of companies engaged in centre programs is $1.1 million, Smith said, or $13.2 million per year. The second phase of Arpa’s project would include an 85-room hotel at the corner of Tranquille and Clapperton, across the street from The Station and kitty-corner to Leon John’s deli. Knaak said there is “tremendous” demand. “You think about Mac Park,” he said. “It’s a yearround driver for tourism and this is an area of town that could use some hotel space. As soon as we started mentioning that, there were a lineup of people saying, ‘You build that hotel, we’ll buy it.’” Knocking down the current Kamloops Innovation Centre would come last, paving way for a 35-unit, three-storey residential building similar to The Station, with commercial
space below. Knaak said all of the commercial space at The Station is spoken for and 41 of 47 residential units have sold, including micro-suites. North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Jeremy Heighton said the North Shore has experienced challenges, but he sees the area changing in the next five years. “You will see a buildout, I suspect, in the hundreds of thousands of square feet commercially and in the thousands of units residentially, just along this corridor,” he said. “When those things happen, that infill creates the conditions for Josh, developers, KIC, hotels, restaurants all to flourish.” Heighton said he wants to recreate vibrancy dating back to the 1980s. “Some of the fun, some of the festivities, some of the arts,” he said. “What we’re looking at is sort of that Gastown, Commercial Drive — really fun, funky and eclectic feel for the entire corridor.” Arpa Investments seems

to be going all in on that concept, also closing on the Overlander Press building on Tranquille, where Red Beard Cafe expects to expand with a takeout coffee shop that could be used as event space in the evenings. Knaak has so far invested about $16 million in the area. He moved to Kamloops in 2009, when he transferred to the city with Canadian Western Bank. The next job would have moved him, so he decided to go out on his own because he appreciated the lifestyle and community of Kamloops. Asked what he sees in North Kamloops, Knaak said: “We’re seeing investment and participation from lots of different parties. We’re seeing it from the
city. The city has said, ‘We need to invest in this North Shore corridor. We need to upgrade the roads. We need to upgrade the pedestrian sidewalks.’ “Again, a lot of this has been driven by the North Shore BIA. We need to improve the streetscape. Let’s deal with the trees. Let’s sink some money into here because they’re seeing developers invest here, as well. The other thing is just the market. I’m an ex-banker and so I financed a lot of construction projects. To see a project where you’ve got six units left at this stage of construction is great. Obviously, the market’s very hot right now. But it’s product people want to see in places where they want to live.”
The biggest mistake an investor can make tual fund investor as 4.7%, or a shortfall of 3.5%. For example, a $250,000 investment in the S&P 500 versus the average investor could have had these results:
Canadian stocks have been struggling this year. At the time of writing, the TSX excluding dividends is down 0.8% (Thomson Reuters, 2018). Several other global stock indexes are also in the negative, adding frustration to investor's returns. The bright spot looks to be the S&P 500 up an impressive 9.8% year-to-date. Once you peel the layers back however, the primary drivers of this are tech stocks (Amazon, Apple, Netflix Google and Microsoft). It appears rising interest rates are taking a toll on dividend stalwarts. It is natural to feel frustrated and want to follow hottest performing investments. The challenge is if you jump around trying to catch the top performer, it rarely works out. Every year, an independent financial analytic firm, Dalbar, compares investor results to a relevant index. Most of the data is from the U.S.A. however we feel is relevant to Canadians. The most recent report showed over the 20 year period data ending on December 31, 2016 which noted that the average S&P 500 Index (S&P 500) return was 8.2% versus the average U.S. equity mu-

Dalbar goes on to conclude that “No matter the state of the industry, boom or bust, investment results are more dependent on investor behaviour than fund performance. Mutual fund investors who hold their investments have been more successful than those who try to time the market.” It is worth adding that fees do affect performance however, they are the second detractor of results. Investors are continually influenced throughout good and bad markets by the media and industry experts all vying for attention and trying to forecast an unknown future. I would add that many of these pundits are not accountable to sit across from you as a client, admit they got it wrong and how it

impacted your portfolio. Even having guessed the future correctly doesn’t mean it will be profitable. Two recent examples have been the rise of markets after the Brexit vote and Trump election. In this day and age, most people are “too connected”. Investors are influenced by short-term results despite setting up a longer-term plan. In our experience, retirees are more vulnerable since they no longer work and often rely on their savings. Some watch the business news and check their accounts online daily. An analogy that I always liked was “If you planted a tree, would you dig it up every day to see if it took root?” If you feel that you need to check daily then you may need to revisit your portfolio mix. We are not saying that we should take an “ostrich approach” however, practicing patience and looking only a few years into the future tends to help ground oneself and improve decision making. Similar to fitness and weight loss, people need to stick with their plan over time to reap the benefits. There are no shortcuts to good health or investing success. Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

TRAFFIC CHANGES MADE AT ROYAL INLAND HOSPITAL Construction of the Royal Inland Hospital patient care tower has caused a change in access to the building. The east portion of the hospital campus’s ring road has been closed for the duration of the construction project, but visitors and patients accessing RIH will still be able to use the northern portion of the road to access the clinical services building parkade. Through traffic on the ring road, however, will be closed. The breezeway at the north entrance to RIH, as well as the bus drop-off along the clinical services building will be closed to vehicle traffic. Traffic coming into the RIH campus will be directed to use Third Avenue and the remaining portion of the ring road for access to the site. These areas will be closed for the duration of the $417-million project, which is expected to be completed in 2021.
Flaggers will be on-site to help direct traffic and signs will also be posted at key locations. Access to the emergency entrance at RIH remains unchanged and the bus stop is being relocated to a location directly across from the Hillside Centre at the entrance to the staff parkade. The nine-story tower is expected to connect directly to the existing RIH facilities on five levels. The building will include a rooftop helipad, two levels of underground parking and 165 new surface parking stalls. The patient care tower will feature 27,000 square metres (290,000 square feet across floor area) of clinical, administrative and support spaces. Program components include mentalhealth and medical/surgical beds, a new surgical suite, perinatal centre and private labour and delivery rooms, obstetrics and postpartum beds and a neonatal intensive care unit.
Apartments behind strong housing numbers Apartments continue to drive housing starts in Kamloops, according to a recent report by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. September brought 191 housing starts in the River City — 144 of which were apartments, continuing a trend in recent months. There were 670 apartments under construction in June, 824 in July, 936 in August and 1,079 in September. “You’re seeing a very, very
strong increase in apartment construction in Kamloops,” CMHC senior media relations officer Len Catling said. That trend has also been seen in the Metro Vancouver and Victoria markets, with apartments generally more affordable. “There is a demand for more affordable options and rentals throughout the province,” Catling said. Catling noted September was a busy month overall for residen-
tial construction in Kamloops, with those 191 starts comparing to 65 during the same month last year. Just 23 new condominiums entered the market in September and the average price for a newly built single-detached home was $688,732. Catling said Kamloops has seen a migration into the area, due to a strong economy, and expects the strong residential housing market to continue until at least the end of the year.
Kamloops wineries win medals at BC Lieutenant Governor’s Wine Awards Three Kamloops wineries received seven medals at the 2018 BC Lieutenant Governors Wine Awards, which were handed out during the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival. The festival took place in Kelowna from Sept. 27 to Oct. 2. A panel of 12 judges from across Canada tasted more than 700 B.C. wines, with Privato Vineyard and Winery winning gold medals for its Privato Collection 2016 Pinot Noir and its Woodward Collection 2015 Tesoro Pinot Noir. A third gold
medal went to Monte Creek Ranch Winery for its 2016 Pinot Noir Reserve. Two silver medals were awarded to Harper’s Trail Estate Winery for its 2017 Field Blend White and its 2016 Sparkling Chardonnay, while a pair of bronze medals went to Harper’s Trail’s 2016 Cabernet Franc and Monte Creek Ranch’s 2017 Sparkling Reserve. “This is one of B.C.’s most prestigious wine competitions and represents some of the best wines in province,” said Trish
Morelli, executive director of the Kamloops Wineries Association. “With over 700 wines entered, winning seven medals is an incredible outcome and really speaks to the quality product coming out of the Kamloops Thompson Valley region.” In 2018, the office of the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, the Government House Foundation and the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society created the British Columbia Lieutenant Governor’s Wine Awards.

Stankoven to make debut on Recchi night MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER

L
ogan Stankoven has done his part to create the hype. On Friday, he will do his best to ignore it. The Kamloops Blazers, off to a slow start at 2-60-1, will have the 15-year-old top prospect forward in the lineup when the Swift Current Broncos (1-7) come to town. “I really appreciate all the support, but I’ve just got to go out there and play my game and not worry about all the hype,” said Stankoven, the Kamloops product who was not expecting to make his WHL debut this early in the campaign. “Hopefully, I can show them what I’ve got.” Game time is 7 p.m. on what is also Mark Recchi Hall of Fame Night at Sandman Centre. Recchi, a three-time Stanley Cup champion, Kamloops product and Blazers’ alumnus, will be in the building in time for an extended pre-game ceremony.
He is the only Kamloops native in the Hockey Hall of Fame, inducted in 2017. Stankoven walked into his house after school on Monday to find his father, Wes, on the phone and smiling. “He told me the news,” Stankoven said. “I’m just really pumped and I can’t wait to play on Friday night.” The Blazers picked Stankoven fifth overall in the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft in May, landing their coveted prize and sparking excitement across the city. Stankoven has done nothing but stoke the fire since then. He joined the Thompson Blazers this season and is lighting up the under-18 B.C. Major Midget League, leading all scorers with 16 points, including 10 goals, in eight games. The major-junior Blazers are down a few forwards, with 20-year-old Jermaine Loewen and 18-year-old Ryley Appelt serving suspensions and 17-year-old Kyrell Sopotyk out day-to-day with a lower-body injury. “It’s going to be an awesome

experience,” Stankoven said. “You’ve got to take it in, have fun with it and learn from all the guys who are playing on the team this year. “I’d just like to thank the Blazers for having me out, especially this early.” Perhaps it should be the Blazers thanking the 5-foot-7, 170-pound forward for what promises to be a spike in ticket sales. Stankoven will rejoin Thompson (4-4) for its tilts against Cariboo (2-2-2) this weekend at Sandman Centre. Game times are 12:15 p.m. on
Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sunday. Fifteen-year-olds can play a maximum of five games with their WHL clubs until their parent team is eliminated from the playoffs. Fans will receive a replica Mark Recchi banner when they arrive at Sandman Centre on Friday and a picture from the pre-game ceremony as they exit the barn. No. 8 Recchi jerseys worn in warm-up by the Blazers will be auctioned to the public. Stankoven had 57 goals and 90 points in 30 games with Abbotsford-based Yale Hockey Academy’s bantam
prep team in 2017-2018. He starred as a first-year bantam for the Kamloops Junior Blazers in 2016-2017. Stankoven scored the championship-winning goal in overtime for the Junior Blazers at the 2017 Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament. It was his fourth goal of the game. He had assists on the other two in a 6-5 victory over Sherwood Park. “It’s been a process,” Stankoven said. “Now, this is where the work begins.”

Broncos’ GM Antons resigns; coach Yamaoka’s future uncertain MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
One major change to the Kamloops Broncos’ organization came on the weekend and more seem certain to follow in the next few weeks. General manager/vice-president Jan Antons stepped down from those positions on Sunday, one day after the Broncos fell to 0-10 with a 26-22 loss to the Langley Rams at Hillside Stadium. “As far as everything else goes, we went 0-10, so something has to change,” club president Dino Bernardo said. “We need to figure out how to right this ship. Four years ago, we were a playoff team that had a lot of talent. We feel that we have building blocks to move forward and be a contending team in the years to come, but some things need to change.” Bernardo declined to comment on exactly what needs to change, noting the board of directors has to conduct a post-mortem in the next few weeks before he shares opinions. “It’s the best move for the team,” Antons said of his departure. “It’s very good timing,
JAN ANTONS with some new blood coming in and maybe pushing the team a little farther. I think we’ve done an amazing job to get the team to this level.” Head coach Brad Yamaoka’s future with the team may be in jeopardy. “It’d been in the back of my mind to pass this along to someone else eventually here, but we’ll see what comes in the next few weeks,” Yamaoka said. “I’m going to take a week or so, just to relax and not think too much about football. Then we are going to
have to figure something out.” Yamaoka told KTW last month he would like to be back on the sidelines coaching in 2019, but added, “unless someone tells me otherwise.” That caveat does not suggest there is 100 per cent agreement among board members on whether Yamaoka’s contract should be renewed. Antons’ role since joining the Broncos in 2012 has been primarily organizational — booking fields, planning road trips, handling equipment duties and marshalling training staff, along with a host of other responsibilities. “That was part of the problem and that’s sort of why I needed a bit of a break,” said Antons, who will remain with the club in an advisory role while his positions are filled. “I wasn’t just doing one job. I was the vicepresident, general manager and the registrar, basically. What I’m hoping for is that we can find multiple people and they each get their own job.” Canadian Junior Football League franchises often assign recruiting duties to the head coach, not the GM. That is, for the most part, how the Broncos have conducted business.
Yamaoka, also the club’s director of player personnel, joined the Broncos in time for the 2015 season, in which Kamloops posted a 5-5 record and qualified for the post-season before making a first-round exit. The team is 4-26 since then. Yamaoka said his charges made strides near the end of the 2018 campaign, with an 18-10 defeat at the hands of the Okanagan Sun (7-2-1) in Kelowna on Oct. 7 and a strong effort in the loss to Langley (7-3) on the weekend. “In the last three or four weeks, I thought we had kind of an epiphany,” Yamaoka said. “I think the guys started to realize what they’re capable of and started to understand the speed of the game, understand what their roles are on the field. The biggest thing is they came together and played as a team.” Some will blame the head coach for the team’s shortcomings and that is the nature of the position, but it may not be fair to point the finger squarely at Yamaoka. The organization has been climbing out of debt and spending money to pay it down, cash that could instead be used for recruiting purposes or for purchases on items such as new equipment, which can be used to

attract talent to Kamloops. There may be disagreements at the board level on what Yamaoka has done with the allotted budget, regardless of its parameters. If there are, they will surely be addressed in the next few weeks. Bernardo said the club is nearly out of debt, noting it might have been in good standing by now had it neither been stripped of a home game (due to smoky skies and poor air quality in August) nor posted such a terrible record. “I’m not concerned at all [about the state of the franchise],” Bernardo said. “I really feel that we have some good pieces in place. The one constant in 12 years is we always manage to keep the franchise alive. We need to find someone to replace Jan. That will be No. 1 on the list. He took us from where we were to a level of professionalism I don’t think we really would have had without him.” There were about 400 fans at Hillside on Saturday to watch an 0-9 football team play out the string, a fact not lost on Bernardo, who thanked Kamloopsians for continuing support. Antons has received well wishes from former players and staff members via text and social media since announcing his resignation as vice-president and general manager.
ANSWERS TO CROSSWORD FOUND ON A41
City of Kamloops “I’m not a person who wants to be recognized, but it’s the biggest thank you you can get,” Antons said. He is leaving behind the camaraderie that accompanies working in a junior football environment, but has already heard from the BCFC, CJFL and local high school football teams interested in his services. Is he leaving with concerns about the state of the Broncos’ franchise? “If I would say I’m not worried, I’d be lying,” Antons said. “I’m always concerned. I do care a lot about the program. We all didn’t expect a season like last season to happen. It came as a shock to us. If this program wants to move forward,

some significant changes will have to be done.” Wendy Matheson has resigned from her position as secretary for the Broncos. ON THE RECORD One of the losses under Yamaoka resulted from a game that was never played. Kamloops was scheduled to host the Westshore Rebels on Aug. 18, but the tilt was cancelled due to poor air quality, with smoke from wildfires burning across the province. The BCFC opted to make the teams’ meeting in Langford on Sept. 15 worth double points. Westshore won 34-20.

WOLFPACK CLINGING TO PLAYOFF HOPES They do not have complete control of their own destiny, but two wins this weekend may be enough to send the TRU WolfPack soccer women to the playoffs. TRU (3-8-1), which sits one point out of post-season position, will square off against the UNBC Timberwolves (1-8-3) in Prince George on Friday and the MacEwan Griffins (8-3-1) in Edmonton on Sunday. The WolfPack are seventh in the Pacific Division and chasing the sixth-place UBC Okanagan Heat (3-7-2), who hold the division’s final playoff berth. UBCO is also playing road matches against UNBC and MacEwan this weekend. TRU fell 1-0 to the Manitoba Bisons at Hillside Stadium on Sunday, giving up a goal in injury time in the first half. “I loved the urgency we

played with and the fight we showed,” WolfPack women’s soccer head coach Kelly Shantz told TRU sports information. “We didn’t get a reward and that happens sometimes in soccer. It’s more important that we were there and we put up a fight.” The WolfPack extended their unbeaten streak to three games with a 6-1 shellacking of the Winnipeg Wesmen on Saturday at Hillside. Chantal Gammie, a rookie forward from Smithers, bagged a hat-trick in the victory, boosting her team-leading season goals total to six. Camryn Curts, Jollee Perrier and Katherine Walkley also scored for TRU in support of goalkeeper Danielle Robertson, who was between the pipes on Saturday and Sunday. Marlie Rittinger of Ashcroft

The family of Gerald Ross Farnsworth is deeply saddened by his passing on October 6, 2018 at the age of 90. He was surrounded by the family that was so important to him. Gerry was born January 24, 1928 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan the youngest of four children. He is predeceased by his wife Penny, his eldest daughter Karen and son-in-law Wayne, along with his brother Earl. The loss of this kind and generous man will be deeply felt by his family; sons Cameron (Marie), Tim (Debra), Todd (Janet) and his daughter Tana, his grandchildren Colin (Crystal), Becky (Kirby), Matthew (Cassie), Taylor (Alexis), Adam, Braydon, Hunter, Mikaela, Easton and great-grandchildren Kaiden, Hannah and Emmett. He also left behind a doting sister Marjorie and a best friend in his brother Roy, along with many nieces and nephews, each of whom had their own special relationship with Gerry. Following Penny’s death, Gerry met and enjoyed life with new companion Neta, which brought a new family to bond with, especially Kaye. After graduating from chiropractic college in Toronto and naturopathic college in Chicago, Gerry moved to Kamloops in 1950 to begin practice. It is where he brought his new wife Penny and started their family. He provided a wonderful home and life to his five children, while at the same time dedicating his life to the development of this now well known field of naturopathic medicine, going so far as to mortgage the family home at a critical time to support a key fledgling college during the 1950s. Gerry is recognized by Universities and Colleges in both Canada and the United States as a founding father of the profession. He maintained his practice in Kamloops for 61 years, having thousands of patients in his care over those years. His son Todd continues that legacy.
Flying, a passion that became a close second to his interest in his profession, was a key, fun part of his life that took him all over North America throughout the early sixties until his final pilot-in-command flight in 2005. Flying and doctoring were his true passions that gave him much satisfaction in life. Gerry had many other interests that included fishing, hunting and the outdoors, his mule Chrissy, many “grand dogs”, travelling in his RV (he loved to find new roads and then revisit them), which he blended well with his dedication to his family and friends. And he had many, many friends, as well, far and wide. In his last 10 years or so, he slowed down a little, to putter around his home, check on his children, spend his evenings with Neta, continue his travels and enjoy retirement. His commitment to service and helping his fellow man through his 60 years as a Royal Arch Mason in Kamloops Shrine added to a life well lived, that is an example for all that have known him. He is missed by many. Rest In Peace, Dad. A Celebration of his Life will be held at 3:00 pm, on Saturday, November 3, 2018 in the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way, Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Dr. Gerald Farnsworth to the National University of Natural Medicine.

picturesque flower gardens and her love of sunshine and tropical beaches. She made the most amazing apple dumplings and strawberry freezer jam. She loved to play games, read and dance. Brenda created beautiful art – she loved to draw and paint, as well as work with fabric and yarn through needlepoint and crochet. And she loved the flatness of the prairies – it made her feel free.

Mary Anitta Tober It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Mother Mary Anitta Tober (MacDonald). Mary was born in Antigonish, Nova Scotia on May 10, 1939. She moved to Toronto in 1957 and started a family. She then spent 11 years raising her family in Saskatchewan. It was in 1982 that Mary made her way to Alberta where her children had grown and made lives of their own. In 1989, Mary made her home in Kamloops, BC, where she eventually met her soulmate Charlie Spicer. They met at a local dance at the Army and Navy and spent the next 25 years together. They travelled and became members at various local clubs where they met dear friends. They enjoyed spending time together whether it be cooking for friends, reading or caring for their garden. Above all, Mom will be remembered for her laughter, her good advice and her long phone calls. She is forever held in the hearts of her siblings, her children, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mom is preceded in death by Charles Spicer, where they are now together once more. A special thank you to Dr. Suen, Dr. MacDonald and all staff at Sturgeon Community Hospital in St. Albert, AB for the care and tremendous compassion shown to our Mother.

Born in Sudbury, Garry spent his childhood in Saskatchewan, Chilliwack and Merritt. After high school, he started working in the mining industry, which lead him to Ireland where he struck gold when he met Bernie. They were married in Navan, Ireland in 1978, moved to Kamloops and soon after began their family. He was a family man in every sense of the word, spending many years volunteering with 1st Dallas Boy Scouts and Girl Guides as well as countless hours on the sidelines cheering on his kids.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Doris Elaine Berna
Michael Thomas Horrocks
Doris Elaine Berna (née Hine), aged 80, passed away on October 4, 2018. She is survived by her loving husband Andy, four children and seven grandchildren. Doris was born in Fredericton, NB in 1937 and realized her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse in 1958, graduating from the University of New Brunswick. Soon afterwards, her nursing career began at the Fredericton Hospital. She married Andrew Berna in 1959, children arrived soon afterwards and Doris made a personal decision to put nursing on hold to raise Jane, Cindy and Steve. In 1964, Doris and family moved to Kamloops and in 1969 her fourth child Michael was born. Doris preferred activities like tennis where the whole family could participate and afternoon treats were always waiting for the kids returning from school. When the three older children moved away to pursue their own studies, Doris restarted her nursing career, firstly at Royal Inland Hospital and then Overlander Care Home. Also, an exploration into painting began. Her focus was on nature scenes and her spouse and children still appreciate these paintings today. Doris was a very kind, positive and supportive mother, always ready with a hug to boost confidence. Her children came first, a trait we took for granted, until we grew older and realized what a special quality that was. Rest In Peace Mom. You are gone from this Earth, but not from our hearts. Donations can be made to the Canadian Alzheimer’s Society. Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324

So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Information that seems suspect on the surface may turn out to be much more if you’re willing to dig a little deeper, Aries. Do not discount anything right away.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if faced with a few different scenarios, do not immediately pick the path of least resistance. Sometimes the best reward is earned with some sweat equity.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, when social engagements seem to be slim pickings, you may have to broaden your social circle just a bit. Try putting a toe into new waters for a change of scenery.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, put your money where your mouth is regarding an important issue this week. You must lead by example, and you’re fully capable of doing so.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Don’t let a minor setback derail all of the plans you have been working on for so long, Leo. This can be easily remedied with the right people offering their support.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you do not need an engraved invitation to attend an event that could put you in a position of power and influence. Walk into the party with flair and confidence.
OCTOBER 17 - OCTOBER 23, 2018 LIBRA
- Sept 23/Oct 23 When someone seeks your advice you are always willing to give it, Libra. Just do not freely offer unsolicited advice all the time or friends could view it as lecturing.
SCORPIO
- Oct 24/Nov 22 Disagreements can cause emotions to run hot, Scorpio. It is best if you find a cool-down measure so that problems do not escalate — especially this week.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Take a break this week and reconnect with some of the fun activities that you used to do to amuse yourself, Sagittarius. Think like a kid and go to a zoo, aquarium or park.
