DAVE EAGLES/KTW Long lines of people waiting to enter the BC Cannabis Store in Sahali in Wednesday were seen all day and into the night.

LONG LINES GREET LEGALIZATION DAY JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops was on the world stage on Wednesday as the nation marked a historic shift in drug policy — the end to prohibition of recreational cannabis in Canada. “This is amazing,” Aaron (no last name given) said as he emerged with the first legal recreational cannabis in B.C. “I’m buying my weed legally. Out of Canada. This is a worldwide thing. It’s unbelievable. It feels great. I’m going to go smoke it. I’m going to go get high.” Canada is just the second country in the world after Uruguay to legalize pot and the government store in Sahali was the first shop to open in B.C. Many people came out to mark the occasion, taking selfies in the parking lot or a hoot in line. A local entrepreneur sized up competition for a private shop, while employees of nearby businesses looked at the large number of people outside and saw dollar signs in their future. Between 50 and 60 people lined up around the corner from the former dollar store and in front of Save-On-Foods as the doors opened on a day like any other for those grabbing groceries in

the local shopping centre. “This is historic, our first store,” Blain Lawson, CEO of B.C.’s Liquor Distribution Branch, told reporters during a media tour on Wednesday morning. The shop officially opened at 10 a.m., but people from as far away as Los Angeles lined up hours beforehand to be among the first to purchase legal pot in the province. The first person in line — a Kelowna cannabis worker named Becky Prete — hunkered down in her chair with a coffee and blanket after arriving shortly after 6 a.m. on a frosty morning. “I was really surprised, honestly. I thought there was going to be at least a couple blocks of people,” Prete said. “But when I showed up, they all came bombarding me, being like, ‘You’re the first!’” Forty-year-old Chilliwack chef Craig McCarthy was behind her, driving to Kamloops on Tuesday night and pulling into the Columbia Place Shopping Centre parking lot at about 2 a.m. “Set my alarm about 10 minutes too late because then she [Prete] was the first,” McCarthy said with a laugh. “That’s all good. Honestly, she can have the attention. I’m a little shy. It’s just as good being No. 2.” While Kamloops council only approved the cannabis licence for the store less than 24 hours before, on Tuesday afternoon, the LDB has been

in the city prepping the shop for two weeks. It said Kamloops was the first location in B.C. due to its readiness, complete with zoning and licensing regulations. “It’s hard work on behalf of the City of Kamloops planning and development department, great support from our mayor and council and taking advantage of our opportunity where I sit on the government committee with UBCM and the joint cannabis committee for regulations,” City of Kamloops business license inspector Dave Jones said. “The opportunity presented itself at one of the meetings where the province was looking for a location. Sitting at the table, I said, ‘Kamloops is ready to go.’” The store design is described as “West Coast casual” and it could be mistaken for an Apple Store or coffee shop, with its bright open space and trendy decor elements, such as subway tiles and plants. “It’s pretty open. It’s pretty airy,” Lawson said. “It’s light. It’s bright. We want the customers to come in and feel very comfortable.” Frosted windows mean minors can’t catch a glimpse inside, as required by law.

The Province of BC has announced welcomed changes to its disability assistance program, increasing the asset limits for beneﬁt eligibility from $5,000 to $100,000 per person. This means that recipients can receive and keep cash gifts, such as inheritances or gifts from parents or other relatives, without impacting their eligibility for their disability assistance payments.

World was watching Kamloops JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

BBC, CTV, Global, CBC, Radio Canada, Canadian Press, USA Today — a media frenzy ensued in Kamloops on Wednesday with the opening of B.C.’s first cannabis store. “Obviously, it’s a big day,” BBC journalist Jessica Murphy told KTW. “It’s a big day that the world is watching. Our audience is really interested in this story worldwide. Because, you know, discussions around marijuana are happening all over the world.” Canada became the second country in the world, after Uruguay, to legalize cannabis. Murphy travelled to Kamloops from Toronto, paired alongside BBC video journalist Dan Lytwyn. They chose to cover B.C.’s first pot shop in Kamloops on legalization day over the first store

opening in Central Canada, due to a cannabis culture that already exists in the province and due to the fact there was only one store opening in B.C. and people would likely be waiting. BBC’s coverage in Kamloops reached a global audience, a combination of web, radio and TV from Africa to Europe and North America. It was the journalists’ first time in the River City. “It’s beautiful,” Murphy said. “I mean, I was seeing the mountains, but you can’t see them any more [due to fog]. So we came in last night [Tuesday] and I couldn’t see much of the city because it was dark and waking up this morning, just the sunrise over the mountains — it’s stunning. Stunning.” “We’re sure this is fog, or is it pot smoke?” Lytwyn said with a laugh. CBC sent several journalists to Kamloops, with local, provincial, national and French rep-

resentation on hand to capture the historic event. The usual local media suspects were also on hand, trying to get an arm into the scrum. Radio NL anchor-reporter Victor Kaisar was put on the story after being hired at the radio station only two weeks ago. “Frankly speaking, I was the only guy available because we’re a little short-staffed,” he said. “It was like, ‘We want you out there, do some stuff.’ Like, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it.’” He said it was one of the biggest stories he has covered during his time as journalist, comparing it to speaking with Justin Trudeau during the 2015 federal election campaign, an “emotional” second-degree murder trial and scrumming with then-premier Kathleen Wynne in Ontario. “I can always say, take it to my grave that I was at B.C.’s first and, so far, only cannabis store,” Kaisar said. “And that’s quite something.”

A Kamsterdam shopping trip “Thank you, Jessica. Welcome to BC Cannabis.” With that, my ID had been swiped and I entered the first legal cannabis store in B.C. It came after nearly two hours of waiting in a lineup with about 100 people on legalization day. KTW stood in line while catching the occasional whiff of, you guessed it, coffee. And weed. Definitely, weed. It took an hour and 45 minutes to get inside the store and another half-hour to purchase products inside, alongside about 40 other firsttime customers excitedly shopping for legal cannabis. “This is astonish-

KTW’s $28 purchase included these three items: Aurora Banana Split cannabis, BCC Quadra cannabis and one pre-rolled joint of THC Biomed Hybrid.

ing,” one man said as he entered the store immediately after KTW. The selection is vast. There are specific plants giving different effects and essential oils offering different flavours and aromas. Musky, earthy, lemony — it all sounds like a combination of a Gord Ramsay cookbook and perfume store sales pitch. Staff are helpful in

guiding one through this new process. Going only on the advice of wanting to spend about $20 for a mild and relaxing high, a cannabis consultant explained it all, every step of the way. Smell this, he said. Look at this, he added, while shining a flashlight. In the end, KTW purchased a gram of Aurora’s Banana Split for $8.99 and a gram of

BCC’s Quadra for $11.99 — what the cannabis consultant called “top shelf” and likened to Hennessy at a liquor store. A pre-rolled joint came in appropriately at $4.20 and the total bill was $28.20, including about $3 in taxes (GST and PST). And, it appears, we got our money’s worth. For hazy reasons, a bonus toad-shaped glass pipe was inexplicably slipped into a BC Cannabis Stores paper bag. — Jessica Wallace

More information about the ease in the restrictions can be found on the website for the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation. In many cases we would continue to recommend that clients who have disabled children (whether adult or child, dependent or independent) write a Will that establishes a trust to hold the disabled child’s inheritance. The parents would name a Trustee to manage the trust fund, and establish guidelines for the use of the money. This is especially necessary when the child has a disability that may impede his/her ability to manage money or look after his/her own aﬀairs. If you have questions about planning your aﬀairs to best provide for your loved one with a disability, we can help.

A tour inside the new BC Cannabis Store From A3

Inside, patrons are greeted by staff taking two pieces of identification, while an onslaught of educational materials appear on nearby walls. Signs detail the risks of cannabis use and guide customers toward different experiences, from bud that mellows to stuyff that uplifts. “What we found in our research is that despite the fact we consume a lot here in B.C., the general knowledge of cannabis is still relatively low,” LDB executive director of cannabis operations Michael Tan said. You wouldn’t know it, however, outside in line. Customers who have used cannabis for years expressed disappointment over an inability to access concentrates and edibles. A grower told KTW he would be purchasing one of everything to send the products away for testing.

The sleek, modern inside of the BC Cannabis Store in Kamloops has been likened to the look of an Apple store. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

With legalization here, what are illegal cannabis stores in Kamloops doing? KTW visited seven such shops to find out.

For first-timers, however, Tan said the most important product attributes include plant type, THC and CBD potency and terpenes. “Every single experience is personal,” Tan said. “Really, the key to making sure you find the right strain for you,

the right product for you, is basically through cautious experimentation. “Start low, go slow.” Ninety-two strains from 40 licensed producers were immediately on offer. Costs range from one gram on the low end

costing $6.99 to seven grams for up to $99. Legally, customers can purchase up to 30 grams. More strains and edibles are likely coming down the line in the months to come, as well as more of the local product people have

come to know in British Columbia. “Approximately seven per cent of our total number now are B.C. would be known as B.C. bud,” LDB director of store operations Kevin Satterfield said. High-premium or “top-shelf” products are located in the centre of the store, with lower quality surrounding. Clear plastic sniffing containers allow customers to smell the products, though the stash is tucked away in cupboards only accessible by staff. Also for sale are grinders, pipes, bongs, rolling papers, rolling trays, oil and pre-rolled joints. Twenty-four employees were on hand on opening day., which saw 800 transactions (and another 9,100 online

orders). Though the lineup outside started slow early in the day, about 100 people were consistently lined up an hour after the shop opened into the afternoon. There remained a 45-minute wait to enter into the evening, as darkness fell. The store is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. Along the strip mall, nearby businesses expect to reap benefits from their new neighbourhood pot shop. Both Papa Murphy’s pizza shop and Crystal Nails expected to see more business as a result. “Maybe bring more business close by here,” salon owner Chee Nguyen said. “But I don’t know if our customers complain about the smell because this store is in the corner.

“There’s an area for smoking. We don’t mind the smell, but we just worry about the customer not happy. “Some people don’t mind, some people complain. So far, we haven’t had any complaint yet.” When the first two people in the line re-emerged from the store, Prete revealed she had spent more than $300. “I don’t even feel like I’ve been here for four hours now. … It’s totally worth getting up early,” she said. McCarthy spent about an hour inside, a moment 22 years in the making since he first toked up illegally. “I’ve been hoping beyond hope that one day it would become legal and now it is,” said the 40-year-old McCarthy. “Now, I don’t need to be a criminal any more. That’s the best part. It’s that relief, right?”

Trio of companies will fill void left by Greyhound EBUS, WILSON’S AND RIDER EXPRESS WILL CARRY PASSENGERS TO VANCOUVER Edmonton-based Ebus will take passengers from Kamloops to Kelowna and Vancouver twice daily.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

As Greyhound prepares to leave Western Canada at the end of the month, Kamloops will have at least three companies offering bus service to the Lower Mainland. The Passenger Transportation Board has approved applications from a trio of companies wishing to shuttle passengers from the Tournament Capital to Vancouver and points in between. Greyhound will close all passenger and freight routes west of Ontario (save for a U.S.-operated Vancouver-Seattle run) on Oct. 31. The next day, Nov. 1, Edmontonbased Ebus hopes to begin twicedaily service from Kamloops to Vancouver and from Kamloops to Kelowna. Ebus, owned by Pacific Western Transportation Group of Companies, the largest privatelyowned transportation company in Canada, is now finalizing locations for departures and arrivals in Kamloops, Kelowna and Vancouver. There will be no main depot, as exists now with Greyhound. Instead, the company hopes to

partner with local hotels to establish departure and drop-off kiosks, as is done in Alberta. Ebus will operate two daily semiexpress routes from Kamloops to Vancouver — one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Buses will travel along the Coquihalla Highway and include stops in Merritt, Hope, Chilliwack and Abbotsford. Another route will see two daily semi-express routes from Kamloops to Kelowna, via Highway 97 and though Vernon, followed by a route from Kelowna to Vancouver via Highway 97C. Bookings will be available on a

reservation only process via website, over the phone and in person at locations to be announced. John Stepovy, the company’s director of business development, earlier told KTW the fares will be similar to what Greyhound now charges for trips out of Kamloops. A one-way ticket from Kamloops to Vancouver costs anywhere between $46 and $73, depending on the day of travel. Stepovy said the firm believes the routes can work because of Pacific Western’s 40-year focus on transporting people, noting there will be no freight service with the

accompanying multiple stops along the routes. He said the company will be posting jobs for drivers and customer-service representatives, noting there is also the potential for partnerships with ride-sharing companies in the region to get people into Kamloops from outlying communities. The Passenger Transportation Board has also approved an application by Victoria-based Wilson’s Transportation Ltd. to run express buses between Vancouver and Kamloops and Vancouver and Kelowna, once-daily

in each direction. The board has also given the nod to an application from Regina’s Rider Express to operate two buses per day from Calgary to Vancouver, with stops in Kamloops. It will be a reservation-based service, seven days a week, with two departure times a day. The latter two companies hope to have vehicles transporting passengers in November. The board is also looking at an application from a Merritt-based company that wants to offer a reservation-based service between Kamloops and Merritt, Kamloops and the Highland Valley copper mine, Merritt and the Highland Valley copper mine, along with routes elsewhere. Tastefull Excursions, a Kamloops company best known for its wine tours, is also hoping to fill the void left by Greyhound. It already uses its 11 large vans to shuttle people from Vancouver Airport to Kamloops and from Kamloops to Sun Peaks.

There are none. Polls are open on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. That’s 12 hours. Nobody should be too busy to find a few minutes to pop into one of the 15 polling stations. Just vote.

civic election. I advised her to do a bit of research, to read up on the candidates and their issues and find some who mirror her beliefs. She asked me where she should get said information. I glared at her. Youth is, again, wasted on the youth. Of course, dear daughter can read pages and pages of coverage in KTW and go online to kamloopsthisweek.com — and other local media websites — to bone up on the issues. Civic election campaigns always draw conversation about voter turnout, which in Kamloops has long been abysmal. In last year’s byelection, 21 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots. In the last general civic election, voter turnout was 33 per cent. Once could look at the record number of advance ballots cast this year — 3,097 — and see that as sign of a healthy turnout on general voting day. Then again, the old advancevoting record — 2,562 ballots cast — was set in 2014, an election in which seven of every 10 eligible voters decided to do anything by visit a polling station on that Saturday. Each civic election has its own flavour, from the exciting mayoral race of 2005, when Terry Lake ran away from heavyweight challenger Al McNair, to Dieter Dudy’s near monumental upset

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS of Peter Milobar in 2011, when the Westsyde farmer finished with only 117 fewer votes. This year’s election lacks a prominent mayoral battle, with challenger William Turnbull a long shot to unseat incumbent Ken Christian (something Turnbull acknowledged at the Council of Canadians forum last month when he referenced Dudy’s near-victory of 2011). But kudos to Turnbull for entering and creating a race. But the council race is fascinating. We are assured at least two new faces at city hall with Tina Lange and Pat Wallace stepping aside — and, name recognition or not, don’t be surprised if an incumbent or two fails to get reelected. The 21-person field is diverse in age, sex, occupation and political focus. Most have been putting in the extra time it takes to erect campaign signs, attend various forums, meet with media, answer questions from media and field

all sorts of calls and emails from voters. All but two candidates attended KTW’s forum this past Monday and each and every one showed passion for the campaign — with a few refreshingly courageous enough to answer some hot-button questions truthfully. There have been some candidates who have simply disappeared during the campaign, refusing to answer questions from the media and largely absent at most forums. One has to wonder: if a candidate is too busy to reply to questions from the media or too swamped to attend forums to answer questions from the great unwashed, how will the candidate find time for the many hours involved in being on council? The results on Saturday will be interesting in that we will see new faces at city hall (and on the school board, where three incumbents are not seeking re-election). More intriguing will be learning how and if a largely silent and invisible campaign by some will impact performance at the polls. KTW will have staff covering Saturday’s election. Our website (kamloopsthisweek.com) will have results updated constantly, along with stories from the night. In addition, KTW’s Twitter and Facebook pages will have all the election results and links to stories and photos.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CANNABIS IS NOT COMPLETELY SAFE LEST WE FORGET Editor: I was horrified to walk into my local grocery store and see Christmas products already on the shelves. It was bad enough to find them last year after Halloween, but to see them before Halloween is grotesque. It wasn’t that long ago that stores waited until Nov. 12 to put out Christmas products. There was an unwritten rule that even thinking about the Christmas season shouldn’t start until after we’ve honoured all those who have sacrificed for us to do so. Stores will change their behaviour if we change our spending habits. I implore all consumers to think twice about purchasing anything Christmas-related until we give thanks on Remembrance Day. It’s the least we could do. Grant Koivula Kamloops

Editor: Volkow et al. (2014) in the New England Journal of Medicine provide evidence that the short-term use of marijuana makes it difficult to learn and retain information. There is also impaired motor coordination, altered judgment, risky sexual behavior and, in high doses, paranoia and psychosis. There is a 50 per cent probability of becoming addicted if you are a daily user and start at a young age. You will have altered brain development. You will have cognitive impairment with lower IQ, especially if you are a frequent user in your teens. You will have diminished life satisfaction and achievement compared to the general population that does not smoke marijuana.

Finally, if anyone in your immediate family suffers from depression, anxiety or schizophrenia, smoking marijuana will significantly increase your risk of developing these types of disorders far earlier than predicted. Visits to the emergency wards of hospitals in the U.S. for marijuana (456,000 visits) are higher than visits to emergency wards of hospitals for heroin (258,000 visits). More interestingly, marijuana visits to emergency wards are only slightly behind cocaine at (505,000 visits). Look this paper up on the internet and decide for yourself. Downer et al (2009) published a study titled Phytocannabinoids, CNS cells and development: A dead issue? in Drug and Alcohol Review.

This study demonstrated that in the fish brain, tissue exposed to THC suffers DNA fragmentation and has brain cells that don’t talk to each other (synaptic inhibition). In the fish, there is reduced proliferation (brain cells fail to thrive). Human children ages 10 to 14 get brain damage (reduced grey matter). Human children up to 17 years old get brain damage. Even adult humans who smoke marijuana habitually get brain damage, including in the left parietal lobe, right parahippocampal gyrus, frontal lobes and corpus callosum. Look up this paper on the internet and decide for yourself. Chris Montoya Kamloops

SHOW THEM THE DOOR, NOT THE POTHOLES Editor: Re: KTW article of Sept. 28 (‘City wants help locating problem potholes’): This smells of yet another feel-good approach by city managers to try to make us think the public is being engaged. In the past, city staff have led us to believe that potholes cannot be filled because of inclement weather or asphalt plants not operating. As with last summer, we have just experienced

[web-extra]

Read more letters at kamloopsthisweek. com months of great weather in Kamloops. So, why are there still myriad potholes and badly heaved, cracked and rutted asphalt at major intersections and on streets throughout city, forcing us to swerve around the broken pieces of road?

Why are some of the same potholes from last year and the year before still here? Like most residents, city managers and staff drive our roads daily, don’t they? While on the job, could they not implement a program to compel lists of potholes and areas of asphalt surfaces that are in dire need of attention and then submit them to the road maintenance managers? In all my years

employed in both private and public sectors, I never once required the public to tell me how or where to do my job properly. If city managers or supervisors responsible for maintaining our city streets require the public to show them where the work needs to be accomplished, perhaps they ought to be shown the door instead of the potholes.

“Regardless of price, I’ll bet the pot at government stores is cleaner, with no pesticides and no mould, like you get from the illegals. “And, don’t forget, when buying illegal marijuana, you are supporting organized crime, the same people who sell those other drugs that are killing so many.” — posted by BB49

Forty-one-year-old Kristopher Teichrieb (left) is charged with attempted murder and assault with a weapon in connection with the June 19, 2016, beating of Jessie Simpson (right) on a Brocklehurst street. Simpson, now 21, spent months in a coma and remains under care of medical staff.

TEICHRIEB TRIAL SET TO BEGIN MONDAY IN KELOWNA TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kelowna jury is expected to begin hearing evidence next week about an alleged altercation that left a Savona teen in a coma and a Kamloops man behind bars. Kristopher Teichrieb’s trial is slated to begin on Monday in B.C. Supreme Court in Kelowna with jury selection. A jury is expected to begin hearing evidence on Tuesday. Teichrieb, 41, is facing charges of attempted murder and assault with a weapon in connection with a beating he is alleged to have levelled against Jessie Simpson during the early-morning hours of June 19, 2016.

Simpson, then 18, had been celebrating high school graduation with his friends the night before the alleged attack. At the time, police said they were called to the area of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue in Brocklehurst, not far from McArthur Island, for a report of an altercation Teichrieb was arrested at the scene and remained behind bars until his release on bail this past August. Teichrieb spent 26 months in custody before being released in advance of his trial. Simpson, now 21, was in a coma for months after the incident. He began to wake up following brain surgery in early 2017, but his health has fluctuated since then. There has been no update on his condition since late

last year, though it is believed he remains in hospital. The circumstances of the allegations against Teichrieb are bound by a court-ordered publication ban. Terms of Teichrieb’s bail require him to wear an electronicmonitoring device and remain on a property south of Kamloops. He is not permitted to enter the city limits. Teichrieb is also barred from possessing any knives, bats or other sports equipment outside of his home. Teichrieb’s trial was moved to Kelowna from Kamloops after his lawyer, Jordan Watt, applied successfully for a change of venue given the high-profile nature of the incident in Kamloops. KTW will have a reporter present in Kelowna when Teichrieb’s trial begins next week.

Fraudster’s claim unhooked by judge

Police Beat

BRIEFS Whoops! Dropped air soft gun may lead to charges

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A convicted fraudster who made headlines in 2015 while attempting to open an auto auction in North Kamloops has had his latest lawsuit thrown out by a provincial court judge. Paul Pearson sued North River Towing following an incident in late 2016. Court heard Pearson’s SUV was towed from his property north of Kamloops following an immediate roadside prohibition after a police officer found him behind the wheel of the vehicle after drinking. Pearson accused the towing company of rendering his vehicle inoperable. Kamloops provincial court Judge

Marianne Armstrong ruled Pearson failed to prove the towing company destroyed his SUV’s battery and dismissed his claim. In 2015, Pearson was behind the failed launch of Kamloops Auto Auctions, which he attempted to set up in the former Strauss Herbs building on Fortune Drive. At the time, Pearson gave a false name to KTW, going by the made-up monicker of Ray Wilson, while describing the operations of the would-be business. In its short life, Kamloops Auto Auction found itself in hot water with the City of Kamloops and subject of an investigation by the Vehicle Sales Authority of B.C. The company’s first auction never took place and the

business was shuttered. In 2013, Pearson was the subject of a warning by the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs regarding a talent contest he had created involving First Nations females. In 2010, Pearson was sentenced to 20 months of house arrest and ordered to pay $158,000 in restitution after scamming booth exhibitors at phoney trade shows in Red Deer and Calgary. The offences took place between 2007 and 2009, when Pearson began advertising trade shows online. He collected money from 18 victims. Pearson declared bankruptcy in 2005. Three years earlier, he was convicted and fined under the Trade Practices Act for deceiving customers of his log-home company.

A 44-year-old Kamloops man could be facing charges after Mounties were called to a complaint of two suspicious men at the Tim Hortons outlet on Columbia Street in Sahali last Friday night. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said two men were standing in the eatery at about 8 p.m. when what appeared to be a handgun fell out of the pocket of one of the men, landing on the floor. “The male said, ‘Whoops,’ picked up the handgun and put it back in his pocket,” Shelkie said. Officers responded and found the two men outside of the restaurant. One of the men was found to have an air soft pistol and an amount of controlled substances in his pockets. The man is from Kamloops and is known to police. Charges, if any, will be determined by Crown.

After nearly six months of construction, the ThompsonNicola Regional District Building downtown at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue opened its new entrance on Thursday, following a private 100-person gathering to mark the occasion the night before. “Staff were really excited because we hadn’t seen the space in its completion yet, so it was kind of a big surprise,” TNRD communications manager Michelle Nordstrom told KTW.

School District 73 is being asked to give the provincial government options when it comes to its request for funding an expansion of Valleyview secondary. The district submitted a project development report for a proposed $22-million expansion of VSS to the Ministry of Education last month, but the government has already sent it back for a revision. SD73 superintendent Alison Sidow told KTW the ministry is asking for an additional proposal on the cost to build an entirely new school in an effort to review a cost comparison between the two options. “We’re completing that. If it’s not in now, it will be in very shortly, and that will be reviewed by ministry staff and we’re hopeful they will then move to approve a new school or new expansion,” Sidow said.

Weekend strike vote for Steelworkers Weekend s KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Gratefully accepting donations of BABY FOOD BABY HYGIENE DIAPERS FORMULA

Local forestry workers won’t only be voting in the civic election this weekend. About 3,500 United Steelworkers (USW) members at mills in the southern Interior, including 900 in the Kamloops area, will take a strike vote as negotiations on a new contract with the Interior Forestry Labour Relations Association (IFLRA) representing employers continue to stall. Local 1-417 president Marty Gibbons said the employer is asking for multiple concessions, including a cap on dental work, and is seeking to lock workers

in to a long-term contract in the area of five years, with small wage increases. “We’ve had about 20 full days with different employers and, despite that, they still have concessions on the table,” Gibbons told KTW. “Although the lumber market has recently slid a little bit, it still remains at very high levels — basically the new lows are the old highs.” Gibbons said the companies are profitable and likely coming off their most profitable years ever, and are trying to lock in employees with increases that, in the union’s opinion, won’t keep up with the cost of living.

MP McLeod awaits 2019 challengers MICHAEL POTESTIO, SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTERS

It’s a one-horse race for now after local MP Cathy McLeod confirmed last week she will be the Conservative Party’s candidate in the next federal election in 2019. Both the Liberals and NDP have yet to set nomination dates to select their Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo candidates for the October 2019 federal election, but interest in the position is brewing. Sandra Bandura, president of the NDP Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding association told KTW there has been a few people who have expressed interest in seeking the nomination. She said she expects the nomination meeting to be held in early January. Candidates will have 15 business days before the nomination meeting to submit their applications. In an emailed response, a Liberal Party of Canada media spokesperson told KTW the party has been approached “by a variety of talented community leaders interested in becoming the Team Trudeau candidate for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo,” but added no nomination meeting has been set to date.

City cools down

Bill Sundhu, who ran as the local NDP candidate in 2015, said he is seriously considering seeking his party’s nomination again, but has made no final decision. “I am being regularly approached by members of the public and urged to run,” Sundhu said. Steve Powrie, who carried the Liberal flag in 2015, said he won’t seek his party’s nomination in 2019. “There hasn’t been a lot of action on that front yet and I basically firmed it up a couple weeks ago that I wasn’t going to do it, so I would imagine the search is on,” Powrie said. He told KTW he has a number of other commitments that will preclude him from seeking the nomination. The Liberal nomination meeting ahead of the October 2015 election was held in October 2014. McLeod was acclaimed as the party’s nominee during the nomination period, which took place at the end of 2017. “I was the candidate a number of months ago and no one challenged me at that time,” she told KTW. “I always said I would make the final definitive decision [to run again] one year out, which is what I’ve done.”

The City of Kamloops is responding to the provincial natural gas shortage caused by last week’s pipeline explosion near Prince George by reducing its use of natural gas. The city has reduced its natural gas usage by doing the following:

In a statement sent to media on Friday, McLeod said there is still unfinished business she would like to attend to, including the completion of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. In an interview with KTW, McLeod also cited continued work on First Nations files, including further reconciliation work, and working on better communication with third parties, such as ranchers. “I have the passion, energy and strong support from my family to continue working hard for our region,” she said in her statement. In the 2015 federal election, McLeod withstood strong campaigns from Sundhu and Powrie en route to being re-elected. McLeod received 24,595 votes (35 per cent), compared to Sundhu’s 21,466 (31 per cent) and Powrie’s 21,215 (30 per cent). Voter turnout was 73 per cent, with 70,000 of the eligible 95,000 voters casting ballots in the riding. Powrie said he thinks the local race will be interesting this time around coming off an election in which all three candidates were so close. The next federal election will be held on Oct. 21, 2019.

A non-profit day care caught in a “chicken and egg” situation is asking for help securing a new home. Children’s Circle Childcare Centre, located downtown at 904 Third Ave. above St. Ann’s Academy, is being displaced as a result of construction of Royal Inland Hospital’s patient care tower, a $417-million capital project expected to be completed in 2022. The day care, which looks after about 50 Kamloops kids, has been operating for more than two decades in the building, which is leased from Interior Health. That lease will expire on June 30, 2019. “This tower is an important addition to the hospital and will support patients for years to come,” IH spokesman Kevin Parnell said in an emailed statement. “Adequate and accessible parking is vital to the success of the project and the site of the day care will be utilized as a surface parking lot.” Priority for child care was historically given to Interior Health employees by Children’s Circle Daycare Society, which was created in the 1990s to address demand in Kamloops. Manager Colleen Malcolm said the non-profit was getting a good deal from IH and leasing a new space would mean sacrificing quality of services to kids or risking financial insecurity in future years. Purchasing land and building a new day care is the most sustainable option, Malcolm said, and would also allow the society to add spaces as demand grows. The society envisions building a new day care facility for up to 120 children. Malcolm said there is a lengthy waitlist. “Like, I could phone these people who wanted to get on our list back in February and they probably want a spot,

which is such a shame,” she said. The problem for the non-profit comes down to securing land on which to build. It has identified a parcel to purchase, but Malcolm said the society can’t get a loan. She said the non-profit has been turned away by major lenders concerned about negative publicity that could result

from foreclosing on a non-profit day care should the loan default. As a non-profit, Malcolm said there is not large sums of money in reserve. She said grants are available for building a facility, but not for purchasing land. The society’s recent pie sale raised $1,000, Malcolm said, noting fundraising to buy property would take too long. “We’re talking about the chicken and the egg,” she said. “We’re constantly going back and forth. If we have nobody to help us go forward, we can’t build that building.” The non-profit said it could pull equity out of a second day care it opened a decade ago for infants and toddlers on St. Paul Street or potentially sell that building. That facility cares for nearly 30 youngsters. “If, by chance, we got the money to have the land and we were able to have both buildings, we would keep both buildings,” Malcolm said. Parnell said Interior Health recognizes the importance of day care for parents, including hospital staff, and said it is in “ongoing discussions with the society on ways we may be able to partner in their transition to a new location.” Malcolm said the society spoke in the past to Interior Health about potentially giving the day care space, though it never came to fruition. She is now looking to the community for help. “Maybe someone out in the community can say, ‘You know what, we can lend you this much money. Here, go buy your land. Start your building,’” Malcolm said. “Because to actually lose a centre that has 50 children in it? It’s going to be devastating to Kamloops itself.” Malcolm can be reached by phone at 250-314-5033 and by email at stpauls@ ccdaycare.ca.

Kamloops North-Thompson (B.C. Liberal) MLA Peter Milobar paid tribute to outgoing city councillor Pat Wallace on Monday in the B.C. legislature. Milobar called Wallace’s contributions to Kamloops and area “immeasurable.” Wallace served as a city councillor for 31 years and Milobar’s tribute came in advance of her last few weeks on council.

Wallace’s final council meeting will be on Oct. 30 as the newly elected council will begin its work on Nov. 5. “Pat has always been known to speak her mind,” Milobar said. “Unwavering in her convictions, you always knew where you stand. But as witnessed by the long list of associations she worked with, Pat is always looking for ways to improve people’s lives.” Milobar said he knew Wallace as a

Parking free on Saturday Downtown parking will be free on Saturdays in November and December this year. City council approved a request from the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association on Tuesday to extend the free Saturday parking by one month. The city has historically waived parking on Saturdays for holiday shoppers in December. The four additional Saturdays will cost the city $12,000 in parking revenue. Voting in favour were councillors Kathy Sinclair, Denis Walsh, Arjun Singh, Donovan Cavers, Tina Lange and Ray Dhaliwal. Lange suggested giving it a try for a year and Singh noted big box stores have free parking. Opposed were Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Dieter Dudy and Pat Wallace.

Killing of Khashoggi is much worse than a crime

f Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS), really did send a hit team to Turkey to murder dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, what will happen next? Perhaps history can help us here. A little more than two centuries ago, in 1804, the armies of the French Revolution had won all the key battles and the war seemed to be over. The rest of Europe had decided in 1801 that it would have to live with the French Revolution and made peace with Napoleon Bonaparte. Everything was going so well — and then he made a little mistake. Many members of the French nobility had gone into exile and fought against the armies of the revolution and the Duke of Enghien was one of them. In 1804, he was living across the Rhine River on German territory. Napoleon heard a (false) report that Enghien was part of a conspiracy to assassinate him and sent a hit team — sorry, a cavalry squadron — across the Rhine to kidnap Enghien.

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH They brought him back to Paris, gave him a perfunctory military trial and shot him. After that, things did not go well for Napoleon. The idea that Napoleon would violate foreign territory in peacetime in order to murder an opponent was so horrifying and so repellent that opinion everywhere turned against peace with France. As his own chief of police, Joseph Fouché, said: “It was worse than a crime. It was a blunder.” By the end of the year, every major power in Europe was back at war with Napoleon. After a decade of war, he was defeated at Waterloo and sent into exile on St. Helena

for the rest of his life. So, is something like that going to happen to MbS? Nobody’s going to invade Saudi Arabia, of course. Not even Iran, despite MbS’s paranoia on the subject. But will they stop investing in the country, stop selling it weapons and buying its oil and maybe even slap trade embargoes on it? Since it seems almost certain Khashoggi was murdered by the Saudi government — Turkish government officials have even told journalists they have audio and partial video recordings of Khashoggi’s interrogation, torture and killing — all of Saudi Arabia’s “friends” and trading partners have some choices to make. U.S. President Donald Trump immediately rose to the occasion, declaring he would be “very upset and angry” if Saudi Arabia was responsible for Khashoggi’s murder and that there would be “severe punishment” for the crime. He even boasted that Saudi Arabia “would not last two weeks” without American military support. Presumably, Trump was talking about the survival of the Saudi regime, not the country’s indepen-

dence, but he was still wrong. Trump is as prone to overestimate his power as MbS himself. The Saudis struck right back, saying “the kingdom affirms its total rejection of any threats or attempts to undermine it, whether through threats to impose economic sanctions or the use of political pressure. The kingdom also affirms that it will respond to any action with a bigger one.” But Trump was only bluffing. He really had no intention of cancelling the $110 billion of contracts Saudi Arabia has signed to buy American-made weapons because, as he said, “we’d be punishing ourselves if we did that. If they don’t buy it from us, they’re going to buy it from Russia or ... China.” People have been turning a blind eye to the weekly hundreds of civilian deaths caused by Saudi bombing in Yemen for three years. Why would they respond any differently to murder of one pesky Saudi journalist in Istanbul, even if he did write for the Washington Post? The difference is that it’s intensely personal — this is an absolute monarch ordering the killing of a critic who annoyed him, but posed no threat to his

power — and it’s brazenly, breathtakingly arrogant. MbS really thinks he can do something like this and make everybody shut up about it. He is probably right, so far as the craven, money-grubbing foreigners are concerned — like former British prime minister Tony Blair, who could barely even bring himself to say Saudi Arabia should investigate and explain the issue because “otherwise it runs completely contrary to the process of modernization.” But if the foreigners will not or cannot bring bin Salman down, his own family (all 7,000 princes or however many there are now) probably will. It is a family business and his amateurish strategies, his impulsiveness and his regular resort to violence are ruining the firm’s already not very good name. He rose rapidly out of the multitudinous ranks of anonymous princes through the favour of his failing father, King Salman, but he could fall as fast as he rose. Killing Khashoggi was definitely a blunder. Read more columns by Gwynne Dyer online at kamloopsthisweek. com, under the Opinion tab.

NATIONAL NEWS Report says problems plagued military trip that led to charges against former NHLer LEE BERTHIAUME

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada’s top general is overhauling military morale-boosting tours after an internal investigation uncovered the extent of the problems with a 2017 trip to Latvia that resulted in a sexual-assault charge against a former NHL player. Defence chief Gen. Jonathan Vance disputed the idea that the Latvia trip was a “wild party,” but admitted that the Team Canada program has been irreparably damaged and needs to be revisited. “Team Canada in its current form is over, it’s ended,” Vance said Wednesday, adding that military officials will be going back to the drawing board to determine the best approach for future morale-boosting trips. “I need to end this chapter.” The morale-building missions were suspended pending a review after military police charged former NHL player Dave (Tiger) Williams for allegedly assaulting a military flight attendant during the Latvia trip in December 2017. Williams has denied any wrongdoing and his case is scheduled to go to trial next year. The review report, being released Thursday, did not delve into the specific allegations against Williams, which remain the purview of military police. It looked instead into the overall conduct of the flight, whose stated purpose was to deliver hockey equipment and play some goodwill hockey games in Latvia.

Former Vancouver Canuck and Toronto Maple Leaf Dave “Tiger” Williams skates in a Legends game.

Canada currently has about 500 troops leading a NATO battlegroup in Latvia. The review appears to confirm portraits of the Team Canada trip as more akin to a party than a military mission as some passengers drank to inebriation, a band played in the aisle and participants challenged cabin crew to arm-wrestling matches. Throughout it all, crew members appeared unsure how to react and instead turned a blind eye to the heavy drinking and other rules violations because they felt pressure from commanders to provide their passengers with “exceptional preferential treatment.” That pressure was partly the result of previous complaints about their performance on such military flights, including “slow beverage service,” as well as contradictory and confusing directions on how to handle their VIP passengers. Cabin crew members were also reluctant to

confront passengers who were misbehaving because the trip had been organized by Vance’s office and cabin crew believed the participants were special guests of the defence chief. As a result, passengers were waved past security screenings in Ottawa, allowed to bring open alcohol containers onto the plane, chewed tobacco on the aircraft and served themselves from coolers in the aisles filled with booze that had been bought with money pooled by Vance’s staff. “The behaviour of some passengers was not conducive to a respectful work environment free of harassment,” the review report adds. “No intervention by the cabin crew took place because of the pressure on them to provide exceptional service on VIP missions.” Alcohol will be banned on all future morale-boosting trips and organization for them will be moved out of Vance’s office. Air force rules and regulations with respect to

VIPs will be tightened up and cabin crew will be empowered to confront passengers who are misbehaving. “We cannot have aircraft flying with crews who feel uncertain or feel unempowered,” Vance said, adding that he “never underwrites improper behaviour.” While some may question the need for such tours, Vance said they have proven to be an important way to bring a little bit of Canada to troops far from home and expose prominent Canadians to the military — which is another reason he is overhauling the program. “We have to be in a position to be able to attract those people again,” he said. “And the only way they’re going to be able to do that is they see that this is over, we’ve dealt with it, we’re an honourable institution, we’re going to do this honourably in the future and they’re not going to be associated with a gong show.”

Majority of first-time buyers maxed out budgets to buy a home: CMHC CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A majority of first-time homebuyers say they maxed out their budgets when they bought their homes, according to a survey released today by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. The federal housing agency said its annual mortgage consumer study found that 85 per cent of first-time buyers report-

ed spending the most they could afford on their property. Despite this, 76 per cent said they were still confident that they would still be able to make their monthly mortgage payments. CMHC said housing affordability continues to be the most important factor among first-time homebuyers, when compared to other factors such as neighbourhood, proximity

to work and the condition of a home. More than half of those concerned said they worried that they paid too much for their home, while one third said they worry about rising interest rates and qualifying for a mortgage. The online survey, which was conducted in April, polled more than 4,000 Canadians who became mortgage consumers in the last year.

ST. ALBERT, Alta. — Police are investigating after an Indigenous family in an Edmonton-area condominium received a letter that appears to suggest harm may come to them if they don’t leave the neighbourhood. The letter that was left in the family’s mailbox on Monday warns Katrina Anderson, her husband and three children, ages 13, 12 and 10, to move out of their rented condo in St. Albert. It targets the family’s First Nation background and accuses Anderson’s children of being noisy and thoughtless while playing outside, intimating that the kids could get harmed if the family doesn’t get out. Anderson posted the letter on Facebook and has received extensive

support from community members, but she said they are leaving the area anyway. St. Albert Mayor Cathy Heron said she was horrified by the letter that she thinks it leaves a black cloud over her city. In a tweet, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said she is glad police are investigating and happy to hear that other members of the community are coming together to show they won’t put up with bigotry. Anderson said her 12-year-old daughter found the letter and texted her that she was scared and in tears. The note — believed to be written by a neighbour who has complained to the condo board — said, “It is very obvious that you are hated by all of the Phase

II community. We came to that agreement at the block party.” It accuses Anderson’s children of “hooting and hollering,” stating: “Your kids are extremely thoughtless and rude. Constantly rollerblading and scootering on our driveways. Move out or things will escalate. Would not want to see the kids getting hurt.” It said complaints will continue to be filed with the board and won’t stop until the family is gone. At the end, the family’s race is targeted. “This isn’t a reserve. Go back to the reserve where Indians belong!” Anderson said she couldn’t believe what her daughter read to her. “It was absolutely disgusting.” she said I couldn’t believe it. I’ve experienced racism, but nothing like this.”

NDP calls on Liberals to further reduce credit card fees paid by small business OTTAWA — The federal New Democrats are calling on the Liberal government to lower and cap the fees credit card companies collect from small businesses. Last summer, Ottawa announced voluntary, five-year deals with Visa and MasterCard to trim the fees to an average annual effective rate of 1.4 per cent — down from 1.5 per cent — and narrow the gap between the highest and lowest rates they charge retailers. In making the announcement, Finance Minister Bill Morneau said he expected the changes will provide a boost to small- and medium-sized firms by saving them a total of $250 million in credit card fees per year.

But the NDP said the Liberals’ agreements are not good enough because they offer no certainty for retailers and favour big business by keeping rates too high at 1.4 per cent. The NDP said smaller businesses are particularly vulnerable to credit card fees, which force them to make up for the lost revenue by passing on the extra costs to consumers. The opposition party is calling for Ottawa to implement a maximum cap of one per cent on credit card fees for small- and medium-sized firms as a way to free up cash that they could use to invest into their operations, raise wages and increase hiring. — Canadian Press

Tk’emlúps reserve in Kamloops. In addition to the those academic courses, archeological field schools were also offered in Kamloops, with a focus on providing Indigenous students training with the skills and techniques necessary to become qualified field archeologists. Many students who graduated from the SFU-Kamloops archeology field schools went on to become accomplished and respected archeologists working to manage and protect cultural heritage resources for First Nation communities. These students represent the first generation of Indigenous archeologists and many remain important sources of knowledge and expertise for their communities. Following the formal end of the SFU-SCES partnership in 2004 and the departure of SFU from Kamloops in 2010, a real lack of education opportunities for First Nations, in archeology in particular, became apparent. Training of new

field assistants became the responsibility of consulting archeologists, who would offer the occasional weeklong certificate course geared toward teaching the basics of field survey and recording. Recognizing the need to not only train new archeological assistants, but to also inspire a new generation of First Nation archaeologists, the Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc natural resources department entered into a partnership with Camosun College in Nanaimo to run a pilot project offering Camosun’s archeological field assistant training program on the Tk’emlúps reserve. The two-week long intensive program provided students with essential background education regarding heritage legislation, the local archeological record and the variety of methods that archeologists employ while doing archeological inventories. Week one was spent in the classroom reviewing the necessary background

information, as well as training students in some of the core techniques used in the field, such as orienteering with map and compass, using handheld GPS units, recognizing artifacts and culturally modified trees and stratigraphy (i.e., layers of soil or sediments). Week two saw the students exposed to the rigours of field work, where they participated in a permitted archeological impact assessment of a discrete development. That portion of the program involved initial pedestrian survey and assessment of archeological potential of the development, followed by shovel testing of the areas in search of buried archeological sites. Following the discovery of three archeological sites, students returned to the classroom to discuss the findings and to develop recommendations for the protection and management of these sites. The curriculum allowed the students to gain firsthand experience in the steps that

go into an archeological assessment and the general process of doing field archaeology. The methods and techniques learned from the program have provided students with the necessary skills and knowledge to be employed by their respective communities as archeological field technicians engaged in the survey, identification and recording of archeological sites. Many thanks to Nicole Kilburn, the Camosun College program developer who allowed Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc to hold the course remotely, and to the rest of the Camosun staff who made this happen. Student funding was provided by the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy and course materials were donated by Golder Associates, Interfor, Tolko and Wood PLC.

Meeting Barkerville’s ghostly residents MARGARET DEEFHOLTS travelwriterstales.com

arkerville, in the Cariboo, is where illusion and reality merge. Let me tell you a story. Maybe it’s true, maybe not. Still, it sends a funny little shiver up my spine. In May of 1866, Charles Blessing and a companion, Wellington Delaney Moses, were on their way to Barkerville when they met up with a chap named James Barry. Barry persuaded Blessing to join him on a side trip, while Moses continued on to Barkerville, where he opened a barbershop. Several weeks later, Barry showed up in Barkerville alone, claiming to have no knowledge of what happened to Blessing. Moses distrusted Barry’s evasive manner and his misgivings grew stronger when — as the tale goes — shortly after Barry’s arrival, Blessing walked into the barbershop one morning indicating that he needed a shave. Moses was relieved to see him, but was nonetheless shocked at Blessing’s appearance. His clothes were torn and filthy and his eyes were hollow. The barber sharpened his razor blade, but when he turned around, he was aghast to find the moist towel he had used to covered his friend’s face was soaked in blood. He let out a cry of alarm and the apparition vanished. This all but convinced Moses that Blessing had been murdered and his suspicions were confirmed when a hurdy-gurdy dancer showed him a distinctive gold tiepin in the shape of a skull given to her by Barry. Moses, horrified, instantly recognized it as belonging to his friend. In the meantime, Blessing’s corpse with a bullet hole through its skull had been discovered in the bush. Witnesses testified to the fact

Barry was armed with a pistol, but the definitive piece of evidence was Blessing’s gold tie-pin. With the hindsight of time, I know the outcome of the Barry case. To quote the formidable Judge Begbie, who pronounced sentence on Barry: “You have dyed your hands in blood and must suffer the same fate ... that you be taken to the place of execution, there to be hanged by the neck until you are dead and may the Lord have mercy on your soul.”

I am not sure whether Blessing’s ghost still stalks the streets of Barkerville, but the town near Quesnel plays host to several other spectral inhabitants. Although no one has been able to identify him, a man in a top hat and tails has been known to materialize briefly, on stage left at the Theatre Royal. A shadowy woman at an upstairs window of the old Barkerville Hotel has been sighted on several occasions, even though

the building is empty and locked up. The St. George Hotel, too, has a mysterious phantom, a young blonde woman dressed in white, who appears around midnight by the bedside of lone male visitors. (Women guests, it would seem, aren’t worth her wile.) Some of Barkerville’s ghosts are prankish poltergeists, others are solitary and wistful. None of them appear to be evil or violent.

Barkerville’s past contains few heinous criminals. Other than Barry’s hanging, the only other execution that took place there was that of a First Nations man found guilty of murdering a man at Soda Creek. The town, then known as Williams Creek, had none of the lawlessness of other American gold rush frontier towns. A few saloons featured German or Dutch hurdy-gurdy dancers and today, as I drop by the reputedly haunted Theatre Royal, a line of amply endowed hurdy-gurdy girls in red dresses regale the audience with their anecdotal tales and double-entendres. I peer nervously at the wings of the stage — does a shadow lurk there perhaps? Unlikely. The audience’s rowdy applause and whistles is enough to discourage any self-respecting spook. Barkerville’s most famous character is its namesake, Billy Barker. Apocryphal tales about Barker abound, but a favourite among them is that he was haunted by a recurring dream in which the number 52 seemed to carry a mysterious significance. Bearing out the tale is a laconic marker along Barkerville’s main street recording the spot where, according to legend, Barker on Aug. 17, 1862, hit paydirt at a depth of 52 feet. Barker found gold worth a halfmillion dollars in today’s currency, but squandered it all, dying penniless at the age of 77. He is reputedly buried in a pauper’s grave in Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery. Yet I wonder, is he? Or does his shadow prowl the streets of Barkerville on dark and stormy nights? Who knows? Who dares find out? Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent newspaper syndicate.

FAITH

HEADS OR TAILS: SHOW ME THE MONEY

esus talked about money — a lot. Sixteen of his 38 parables deal with money or possessions and there are 288 verses in the Gospels that deal with that subject. I collect coins as a hobbyist and recently purchased a Tyrian shekel, also called a tetradrachm. The Tyrian shekel was minted in the city of Tyre (modern-day Lebanon) from 125 BC until 18 BC, then near Jerusalem until 70 AD. On its face was the image of Melkart, the name of Baal in Phoenicia. Melkart’s Greek equivalent was Heracles (or Hercules). He is shown wearing a laurel wreath, the symbol of the Olympic games. Obviously, he was a pagan god. On the obverse side was an eagle with the Tyrian inscription in Greek letters. The coin was valued at four drachmas (hence it’s tetradrachm name) and was 94 per cent silver. It was considerably purer than regular Roman coins, which were about 80 per cent silver. Because of its purity, it was the only coin that could be accepted as payment for the mandatory Temple tax. Money changers would convert the various Roman or other foreign coins into the Tyrian shekel — and charge a hefty premium

for doing so. Every Jewish man, 20 years of age and older, was required to pay the Temple tax annually according to God’s commandment to Moses. The directive is found in Exodus 30: “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘When you take a census of the Israelites to count them, each one must pay the Lord a ransom for his life at the time he is counted … Each one … is to gave a half shekel … Receive the atonement money from the Israelites and use it for the service of the Tent of Meeting. It will be a memorial for the Israelites before the Lord, making atonement for your lives.’” Clearly, the directive was intended as a reminder that God had ransomed the Israelites out of Egypt, saving their lives and to provide for the operating expenses of the Tent of Meeting (later Temple).

Peter was asked by the Jewish tax collectors if Jesus paid the Temple tax as per Mosaic law. Peter said that he did. When he returned, Jesus said rather than offend the tax collectors, Peter was to go the lake and, in the mouth of the first fish he caught, there would be a tetradrachm, enough to pay both his and Peter’s tax. This isn’t quite as miraculous at it sounds. The fish (tilapia, or St. Peter’s fish, are still caught today in the Sea of Galilee) has a curious habit of gathering shiny objects in its mouth. The miracle is only that Peter caught one with that particular coin in its mouth on his first cast. One wonders why the Jewish leadership would demand money with the face of a heathen god (a graven image), something that is explicitly forbidden in the Torah. The rabbis apparently decided the purity and weight of the Tyrian shekel was more important than the image engraved on it. But it does lead to two dramatic incidents in the Gospels. Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple is one of the pivotal events of his ministry and is found in all four Gospels. Jesus and his disciples come into Jerusalem at the time of the Passover, a time when it is crowded with pilgrims making their mandatory Temple tax payment and purchasing doves, lambs or

calves for sacrifice. John’s Gospel says, “He made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. “To those who sold doves he said, ‘Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father’s house into a marketplace.’” In Mark, it is recorded that Jesus raged, “You have made it a den of thieves!” It was after this incident that the Jewish leaders plotted to kill Jesus. The Tyrian shekel plays an important role in that plot. When Judas agreed to betray Jesus, he was paid 30 pieces of silver from the Temple treasury. After the crucifixion, Judas, stricken with remorse, throws the money at the feet of the

Jewish leaders. In Matthew’s gospel, it says, “The chief priests picked up the coins and said, ‘It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.’ So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.” I have no idea if the coin I purchased is the one Peter retrieved from the fish, one of the 30 paid to Judas or one Jesus scattered when he overturned the money-changers’ tables — but it is a tangible reminder of how important this coin was in Jesus’ life and death.

A river runs through it; albeit polluted PHILIP ISSA

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD — Every Sunday in Iraq, along a strip of embankment on the Tigris River reserved for followers of the obscure and ancient Mandaean faith, worshippers bathe themselves in the waters to purify their souls. Unlike in ancient times, however, the storied river that runs through Baghdad is fouled by untreated sewage and dead carp, which float by in the fast-moving current. “It’s very saddening. Our religious books warn us not to defile the water. There are angels watching over it,” said Sheikh Satar Jabar, head of Iraq’s Mandaean community. Iraq’s soaring water pollution is threatening the religious rites of its tight-knit Mandaean community, already devastated by 15 years of war. Mandaeism follows the teachings of John the Baptist, a saint in both the Christian and Islamic traditions, and its rites revolve around water. On the eastern bank of the Tigris recently, Jabar watched as a younger cleric blessed congregants in the river, then anointed them with holy oil and gave them a sacrament of bread and water on dry land. The women, shrouded in white and their hair tucked under headdresses, went into the river first, receiving their blessings in a Mandaean dialect of Jesus’s native tongue, Aramaic. Then the ceremony was repeated for the men. Finally, a one-year-old child, Yuhana, received his first baptism, squirming and sputtering as his father dipped him in. “When a Mandaean believer commits a sin or

wants to ease the worries of life, he comes to the cleric to practice his religious rituals, where he must immerse himself three times in running water,” Jabar said. The faith holds that only flowing water can baptize the faithful and that it should be clear, pure and fit for human consumption. Until 2003, nearly all the world’s Mandaeans lived in Iraq, but the cycles of conflict since the U.S. invasion have driven minorities out of the country. Most recently, under the Islamic State group’s three-year reign in northern Iraq, the militants dynamited shrines to saints, forced Christians to pay a special head tax and enslaved, raped and killed followers of the Yazidi faith. The wars that drove many Mandaeans out of the country also aggravated a water crisis set in motion by deposed dictator Saddam Hussein’s ecological policies. Baghdad’s river today is a stew of industrial chemicals, untreated sewage and poisonous agricultural runoff, the Save the Tigris civil society campaign said in a 2018 report. And water levels are falling, owing to the changing climate and damming in neighbouring Turkey, Syria and Iran. About 70 per cent of Iraq’s water flows from upstream countries. The two Mesopotamian rivers mentioned in Mandaean scripture still hold special significance to the faithful. Ibtisam Kareem, 45, accepted a sacrament from the cleric and drank a handful of water from the Tigris. “If you have faith in God,” she said, “this water is like honey.”

Yvonne Timewell of Kamloops placed second in her age category at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, last Saturday. A previous disqualification nearly kept her from racing.

BUCKET-LIST RACE ALMOST DIDN’T HAPPEN

MARTY HASTINGS

ishaps can be beautiful. Yvonne Timewell’s teenaged son proved that when he hopped over a fence at the Ironman Canada event in Whistler on July 29, so elated for his mom that he wanted to celebrate with her as she crossed the finish line. They had done it before. This time, they were marking a special occasion. “It’s always been on my bucket list to go to Kona,” said Timewell, a Kamloops Triathlon Club athlete. The result in Whistler, where she finished first in her 50- to 54-year-old age category, besting nearly 60 others, and sixth overall among women, should have

clinched Timewell’s berth at what she considers the Super Bowl of the sport — the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. About 30 minutes after she clocked in, devastating news came down. “A friend from Kamloops told me I was DQd,” Timewell said. “Ironman has this new rule that no [non-participant] family members are to cross the finish line. “It got quite a bit of media. It was really hard to take, with people saying I should have known the rules. We’re not big Ironman followers. That was the last thing on my mind. At my other races, we all crossed together.” Timewell appealed the decision to the race director. The next morning at about 8 a.m., World Triathlon Corporation confirmed the disqualification. “We were having breakfast while the awards were going on,” Timewell said. “That was hard. “It wasn’t something we

discussed at the table. He just jumped it. Obviously, we don’t blame him. He was just proud of his mom.” Two hours later, the phone rang. World Triathlon Corporation had reviewed the incident and noted how far ahead of the competition Timewell finished in her age category. She was green-lighted to go to Kona — and it’s a good thing she went. Timewell finished in 10 hours, 26 minutes and four seconds at the world championships in Hawaii on Saturday, good for second among 72 racers in the 50- to 54-year-old women’s division and 121st among all females. “To stand up on the podium in Kona, it showed Triathlon Canada that I did belong,” Timewell said. The race consisted of a 3.8-kilometre open-water swim in Kailua-Kona Bay, a 180km bike ride across the Hawaiian lava des-

ert to Hawi and back and a marathon run of 42km along the coast of the Big Island from Keauhou to Keahole Point and back to KailuaKona, finishing on Ali’i Drive. Michelle Enslin of South Africa won Timewell’s category, posting a time of 10:12:02 on a day blessed with weather predominantly favourable to athletes, with a storm having cleared the air the night before. Timewell’s finishing mark may have been a few minutes better if a gear-shifting glitch didn’t cause her to stop and seek mechanical help early on in her bike ride. She rode the rest of the way unable to use all her gears. “Anyone, whether you’re first, second, third or last, that finish line … it was almost surreal,” Timewell said. “I was at Kona and that was my bucket list. Coming second place just tops it all off.” There were no fence-hopping issues at the finish line. “We joke about that. We’re

going to tie him up,” Timewell said with a laugh. “We didn’t make a big deal of it. It was an unintentional error. I take full responsibility. “He was so proud of his mom. That is more special.” FANTASTIC FINISHES Two more Kamloops athletes were in action at Ironman events earlier this month. Melissa Lowenberg also raced at worlds in Kona, finishing in 11:37:51, good for 44th in the 45to 49-year-old women’s category and 333rd among all females. Kate Stebbings won gold in the 50- to 54-year-old women’s division at Ironman Barcelona on Oct. 7, recording a time of 10:27:50. She was 35th among all women. Stebbings was awarded gold in the same category in which Timewell raced at Ironman Canada in Whistler. She posted a time of 11:34:42.

Teammates had reached their breaking points. Mitch Popadynetz berated Justin Donaldson for a poor throw-in. Donaldson sniped at Koffi Nyavor, criticizing his vision. “Keep your head up!” Donaldson yelled, the Kamloops product upset the ball didn’t come his way. A season’s worth of TRU WolfPack frustrations were boiling over and an underperforming team was on the verge of a death-knell defeat on Wednesday at Hillside Stadium, down 1-0 to Trinity Western in the second half of a game it had to win. Two WolfPack players and their head coach told KTW the team has been snakebitten all season. They haven’t been getting bounces. They haven’t been scoring goals. But when they absolutely had to have them, when a loss would have meant the reigning national bronze medallists missing the Canada West post-season, they got them. Popadynetz, the conference’s men’s soccer player of the year in 2017, unleashed a belter in the 66th minute to tie the game at 1-1. Nyavor’s vision had returned, as he picked up the assist. The clock was the WolfPack’s enemy. Three minutes of injury time were announced when the allotted 90 expired. Seconds later, Donaldson was screaming down the left wing. Seemingly recovered from Popadynetz’s admonishment and having forgiven Nyavor for his earlier blunder, Donaldson ripped a cross into the box. It pinballed off of James Fraser and sat up on a platter for Josh

Banton, whose short-range blast might have splashed down in Kamloops Lake if not netted by twine. “Normally, we’ve not had that luck,” said Banton, a defender who was instructed by head coach John Antulov to push forward late in the game. “That ball that went to me would normally go to them. “I knew if I got a chance, I’d take it. James worked really hard in the box, it scrambled, came to me and I just struck it as hard as possible.” TRU won 2-1. “Finally, desperation kind of kicked in,” Antulov said. “This is what we needed. We weren’t getting those breaks at the beginning. They were going against us. “This keeps us alive.” The WolfPack (4-6-3) have two matches to play and remain a long shot to crack the post-season, with UBC (12-0-2) coming to town on Saturday and Victoria (4-7-3) here on Sunday. Match time both days is 1 p.m. at Hillside. Prairie Division standings, determined by winning percentage: UBC (.905), Trinity (.622), UNBC (.513), Fraser Valley (.487), TRU (.385) Victoria (.357) and UBC Okanagan (.262). The top four teams get in. Anything less than two wins this weekend for TRU would be disastrous. One of them will have to come against the division’s best team. Even two victories might not be enough. But, who knows. The bounces are going their way.

Will sevens stick at TRU?

presents...

STAFF REPORTER

The pilot phase is nearing its conclusion. Women’s rugby sevens at Thompson Rivers University will either dot down for a try or be tackled short of the goal line. The TRU WolfPack joined the Western Canada Women’s Rugby Sevens Series in 2018, in time for Year 2 of a three-year pilot project backed by Canada West, Rugby Canada and B2ten, a philanthropic group of business people interested in advancing Canadian amateur sports. Canada West brass will meet in February to discuss the future of the sport under its umbrella. If incorporated, TRU will have a decision to make. WolfPack athletics and recreation director Curtis Atkinson said rugby sevens (the fastpaced seven-a-side version of the game) could become a full-fledged women’s varsity sport, be given a hybrid club status, similar to the baseball team’s, or be scrapped completely. “I’m a little reluctant to weigh in one way or the other at this point without being able to do a full evaluation and without full understanding of the financial implications,” Atkinson said. “What will we look like competitively? What will the league model look like?” Derek Pue coaches the WolfPack sevens team, which had a rough introduction to competition during the 2018 season, posting 0-6 records at both of the tournaments it attended in February. Jumping into action against the original six — the Victoria Vikes, UBC Thunderbirds, Alberta Pandas, Calgary Dinos, Fraser Valley Cascades and Lethbridge Pronghorns — proved a daunting task, one undertaken with little time to assemble a team. The Pack are aiming to begin a bounce-back season, one that will help determine the pro-

gram’s fate, on Sunday in exhibition action against Fraser Valley and UBC Okanagan (which may join the Canada West series in 2019) on McArthur Island. Games will begin at 11:30 a.m. and run to about 4 p.m. Seven-aside matches consists of two, seven-minute halves. The Canada West series was created following Canada’s bronze-medal victory in women’s rugby sevens at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio, a moment that spawned unprecedented popularity for the sport across the nation. Pue wants the WolfPack to become a stepping stone to the national team. “The point I’m driving home — the talent is here,” said Pue, who led the Kamloops Rugby Club men’s side to a Division 2 B.C. Rugby Union title earlier this year. “The regional 15s and sevens teams that we produce in the Thompson Okanagan and Interior, they compete well. They win medals at regional competitions.” If Atkinson has questions about TRU’s ability to field a competitive team, Pue believes he has answers. “I don’t think we need to look any further than our own backyard — Houston, Smithers, Prince George, Williams Lake, Salmon Arm. We can give them a home in a familiar-looking place and give them top-quality training

and academics.” Jesse Olynyk is the WolfPack rugby team’s manager and daughter of former TRU athletic director Ken Olynyk. She and Pue, who are married, have played and coached across the province. “We see these talented girls every year,” Pue said. “We see them at the B.C. Summer Games. They come down from the Northwest and Cariboo and Kootenay regions. “There really isn’t a university program they can use to leapfrog into the national program.” Atkinson sees value in rugby as a spectator sport and can picture hosting successful sevens events, the type of tournaments that bring eyes and money to TRU. The problem — no dome. “The series runs in Victoria and on the mainland and in Edmonton, because they have a dome,” Atkinson said. “And [with a dome] it becomes a legitimate training ground for national-team athletes.” KTW confirmed on Thursday a City of Kamloops staff member has completed plans for a new dome at Hillside Stadium, but they have not yet been brought to council. The dome may look something like the one at the University of Alberta, only bigger, with a cost of between $6.5 million and $8 million, although those are rough estimates.

Atkinson wants to know more about league format. If more schools in the province want in on Canada West women’s rugby sevens, that may create the opportunity for a B.C. Division, which would mean less travel for the WolfPack, a good thing for TRU coffers. “Or will there be travel across four provinces and financial implications shoot up?” Atkinson said. Kamloops is already producing post-secondary quality female rugby players. Brooke Bazian, a Victoria Vike, has played for Canada at the under-20 level. Grace Campbell, who toils for the Dinos, and Maddie Avery, who plays for McGill, cracked B.C.’s roster for the under-20 Canadian Rugby Championships this past summer in Saskatoon. Kally King, who plays for UBC, scored two tries for Canada in a 33-5 victory over the U.S. in the final of the Rugby Americas North Sevens Championship in Las Vegas in March. Perhaps a varsity program at TRU would keep them at home. “We have all the key elements to be a successful university sport,” Pue said. RUGBY MAD The Kamloops Sevens Tournament will be held on McArthur Island this weekend, with about 60 teams and 600 athletes expected to be in town.

Recchi comes home for Hall of Fame Night MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mark Recchi can remember the first time he played for his hometown Kamloops Blazers. ”It was such a great feeling putting on the Blazer jersey at old Memorial Arena,” said Recchi, a Kamloops product who joined the Blazers in time for the 1986-1987 WHL campaign. “Growing up watching the Junior Oilers and the Blazers … to be a part of that was amazing.” On Friday, 32 years after making his Blazers’ debut, Mark Recchi Hall of Fame Night will give local hockey fans the opportunity to recognize No. 8. The Swift Current Broncos are in town. Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre. “We couldn’t get schedules lined up to do it last year, but at least we’ll beat this year’s Hall of Fame date,” said Recchi, an assistant coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins. “I’m really excited to get back home and hang out with my parents and my brothers and have a good night Friday night.” Recchi, 50, was inducted into the Hockey

Hall of Fame in 2017. He finished his career 12th on the all-time NHL scoring list with 1,533 points, 577 of them goals, in 1,652 games, and won three Stanley Cups as a player — with Pittsburgh in 1991, Carolina in 2006 and Boston in 2011, the latter title clinched in Vancouver, just 3.5

hours from where he first laced up his skates. Recchi, the only Kamloops native in the Hall of Fame, has since padded his resume, winning Stanley Cups with the Penguins as a player development coach in 2016 and 2017. 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. Kamloops (2-6-0-1) is off to a slow start under new head coach Serge Lajoie, but Recchi is not concerned. “I know they’ll turn it around,” he said. “You get a new coach in and he’s new to the league and he’s got to adjust to it, as well. “You want to see players getting better. That’s the important thing right now. I believe that will happen with our coaching staff we have and with Matt [GM Matt Bardsley] at the helm.” Top prospect and Kamloops product Logan Stankoven, 15, will make his Blazers’ debut on Friday. He leads the under-18 B.C. Major Midget League in scoring, with 16 points, including 10 goals, in eight games for the Thompson Blazers. “I’ve been paying attention,” said Recchi, part-owner of the Blazers. “He’s been outstanding. Hopefully, he’ll give us some energy. “He’s got to take it in, have fun with it and embrace it. There are bigger and better things ahead for him, but this is an awesome way to start.”

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Mary Anitta Tober

Maureen Seaborn It is with great sadness and sorrow that we announce the passing of Maureen Seaborn on Wednesday, September 26, 2018.

Maureen is survived by her nephews Gary (Ginny), David (Wendy), James (Pat), great nieces and nephew Davy (Jen), Emily, Laura, Kate and great great niece and nephew Andy and Penelope. She will also be missed by many dear friends and cousins. Maureen was predeceased by her parents Sam and Helen and by her sister and brother-in-law Gwen and Al. Maureen was born on April 23, 1935 in Neepawa, Manitoba. She spent the majority of her life living in Kamloops. Maureen enjoyed travelling, especially to see her family in Winnipeg. She spent countless Christmases in Winnipeg. She also loved to spend time at the lake. Maureen was an avid walker. She started most mornings with a walk to Starbucks and then back home to spend time in her garden. But the place where she found the most happiness was in the stands of the Sandman Centre cheering on her beloved Kamloops Blazers. Maureen was a season ticket holder for years and never missed a game. She could give you the scouting report of any player in the NHL who had ever crossed through the Sandman Centre during their WHL career. We would like to thank all the doctors and nursing staff at Royal Inland Hospital who cared for her during her final days. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. A Service to honour Maureen’s life will take place on Saturday, October 27, 2018 at 2:00 pm at Kamloops United Church, 421 St., Paul, Kamloops.

May 10, 1939 - October 14, 2018 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.

Christine Elizabeth Demecha (nee Kent)

Schoening Funeral Service

Assistant Manager

I received my diploma as a funeral director/embalmer from College of Rosemont in Montreal in 1989. I moved to beautiful BC in 1996 and have had the opportunity and honor of serving many families throughout the Kamloops, Merritt and North Thompson area for the past 16 years. In my spare time, I enjoy riding the Kamloops mountain bike trails, camping with my family, golfing and skiing at Sun Peaks.

1966 - 2018 Our very special wife, mother, and friend Christine Elizabeth Demecha died on October 12th after a courageous four-year battle with cancer. Christine (Chris) leaves to mourn, Mark, her husband and soul-mate of 32 years, children Jacob and Erin, their border collie Popeye; father Bernie Kent (Diane), her brothers David (Becky), Kevin (Joanna) and her many, many friends. Chris was predeceased by her mother Margaret Kent, and her infant sister Janice Kent. Chris was destined to be a great wife, mother and friend, and she fulfilled her destiny. Chris had a competitive spirit. In her early years Chris enjoyed many sports including skiing, basketball and fastball. In Grade 10 she was awarded a Double Large Block in recognition of her participation in many sports. Chris also played basketball for Cariboo College. After high school Chris attended Cariboo College and Simon Fraser University where she graduated with a degree in Kinesiology. She subsequently received accreditation as a Certified Event Planner from Mt. Royal University in Calgary. Chris worked for the BC Lottery Corp in Kamloops and in Richmond. She married Mark in 1990 and moved to Nanaimo in 1993. Chris worked for Vancouver Island University (Malaspina University College) for 25 years. Her latest position was as Coordinator of Public Relations and University Events. Most of all Chris loved and enjoyed being with her family and their home. She loved them unconditionally and worked to help them become the very best they are capable of becoming. Most recently she enjoyed camping and spending time in their freshly-landscaped yard with the water feature they called “Chris’ Creek. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to close friends Sandy Baird, Margit Rogers, Shelley Johnstone, Vanya Beck, Leslie Bajkov; colleagues Janina Stajic and Monica Tysowski; family doctor Dr. Diana Ruffel, and the entire Oncology/ Palliative teams in Nanaimo and Victoria for their outstanding care, compassion and support. A Celebration of Chris’ life will be held at Sands Funeral Home, 1 Newcastle Avenue, Nanaimo, BC on Monday, October 22nd, 2018, at 1 pm. Reception to follow. Memorial gifts may be made in Chris’ name to the BC Cancer Society, or the charity of your choice.

Footprints One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

It is with great sorrow we sadly announce the passing of our son and brother David Vilac on Friday October 5, 2018. David passed at the young age of 57 in Kamloops BC. David is survived by his mother Laurine Vilac, his brothers Jeff, Mark Vilac, Reggie Mueller and Peter Mueller, his sisters Roberta Dixon and Tracy Archie. David had many relatives and friends throughout BC. David’s Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday October 20, 2018 @ Sacred Heart Cathedral in Kamloops. A reception will follow at Desert Garden on 540 Seymour Street in Kamloops. Those who wish to make a memorial donation, please do so at a charity of their choice.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim

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

Her legacy is priceless! And her farewell is affordable.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

Violinist-turned-clown provides soundtrack for Cirque show SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

s a classically trained musician, Stephane Allard didn’t imagine himself a circus performer — especially not one in clown makeup and full costume — but that is now his life in Cirque du Soleil’s Corteo. The violinist studied in Quebec City and at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass., and was freelancing in Montreal when Cirque first entered his world on a day in 2002. A composer contacted him, asking him to create a piece of music for Cirque’s Varekai show, which ran from 2002 to 2013 as a big top show and from 2013 to 2017 as an arena show. Allard said he wasn’t ready to tour at that point and only did shows near his home in Montreal and Quebec City. “And then I let it go — until 2009, when I was called in as a replacement for Cirque’s Corteo show in Japan,” he said. “That was supposed to be for six months, but it ended up being

three years — and then it was extended.” Corteo, which is coming to Kamloops in its return as an arena show next week, started off as a big top show in 2005, running until 2015. The show tells the story of a clown, Mauro, on his deathbed, who imagines a parade of characters and scenes from his past, as Allard put it. That parade features acts like the acrobatic ladder, where a ladder specialist interacts with a floating angel while keeping up an unnerving balance. Another is the helium dance, which features a tender and poetic moment between the dreaming clown and his clowness, who floats attached to large balloons. “It just brings the audience into a theatrical world of fun and comedy,” Allard said. Allard is primarily a musician in the show, but his new life as a clown also brings with it “something different,” which the performer said he appreciates, leading him to explore new opportunities the show presents.

“And what’s even newer for me, I’m doing a backup act,” he said. Allard said he appears in the first act of the show and that it feels “just fantastic” when he’s on stage. But what the performer really appreciates is touring with the show’s acrobats, downplaying his own role in comparison. “For us musicians, you can say it’s an easy job, yes and no, but we don’t have to go during the day and work our act. We go there for soundcheck, we warm up and play and it’s good,” he said. “The acrobats have to go early, and they do their act and they work hard and that’s what the people will see. When they perform, they are really into it.” Corteo will run from Wednesday, Oct. 24, to Sunday, Oct. 28, at Sandman Centre, 300 Lorne St. The shows during the week are at 7:30 p.m. while weekend shows are at 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets range in price from $57 to $143 depending on location and are available online via Ticketmaster.

Corteo’s acrobatic acts include a ladder specialist, seen here.

Indigo names 10 Laramie Project will make its return best books of 2018 on Sunday at the Pavilion Theatre Indigo has named its best books of 2018. The top book named by the Canadian bookseller was Educated, a memoir by Tara Westover that tells the story of the American author’s experience of self-education growing up in an isolated survivalist family in Idaho. The book, described by Indigo as a “wildly popular memoir about finding your place in the world, even if that means having to leave your family,” was published in February by Penguin Random House. Other books on the list, in order of their ranking, are: • Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell; • Washington Black, a book written by the sole Canadian on

the list, novelist Esi Edugyan, who also claimed the 2018 Man Booker prize for her work; • 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari; • Sea Prayer by Khaled Hosseini, best known for another novel of his, The Kite Runner; • The Clockmaker’s Daughter: A Novel, by Kate Morton; • I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer, the posthumously released true crime account by Michelle McNamara; • The Woman in the Window: A Novel, by A. J. Finn; • Dare to Lead: Brave Work, Tough Conversations, Whole Hearts, by Brené Brown; and • Children of Blood and Bone: The Orïsha Legacy, by Tomi Adeyemi.

A play on the legacy, life and death of Matthew Shepard, who was beaten and tortured and left tied to a fence in Laramie, Wyoming, in 1998, will be shown this weekend. Shepard’s death is said to be a turning point in the gay rights movement in the United States,

and Derek Rein has returned to a play he previously directed in 2002 to tell Shepard’s story once again. The Laramie Project: A Reading will be at the Pavilion Theatre on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. At least 18 local actors will take on the 60 roles seen in the play.

Proceeds from the $25 ticket sales will go to Kamloops Pride which, along with Western Canada Theatre, have been helping Rein with the project. Tickets are on sale at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St. (Pavilion Theatre), 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Arts and culture: essential catalysts?

growing body of literature suggests arts and culture are vehicles of creative expression and a primary mechanism for people and communities to develop a sense of identity and to foster community health and economic growth. Despite this, culture has been relegated to secondary importance by governments and the public not interested in art in many jurisdictions in Canada. Research shows art and culture is a growth industry in itself and generates social benefits with positive spill-overs beyond the economics

of artists and their products and services into primary economic benefits dispersed in other sectors, such as tourism and educational institutions. A realistic assessment of the value of culture should lead to informed government policy to capture the benefits of a thriving arts and cultural sector. Cultural policy at all levels of government is much more than funding allocations in response to individual and organization lobbying efforts. A well-defined cultural framework of goals, objectives and priorities

are essential elements of communities. People choose where to live and do business for a variety of reasons, including economic opportunity. However, local amenities, or quality of life, are determinants of location as people vote with their feet according to their preferences and opportunities. Cultural policy has a history of being relegated to secondary importance and supported in an ad hoc way by governments. Referendum questions can be flawed or voted upon by an illinformed electorate. There is a substanti-

ated link between cultural activity and economic development. In the past 50 years of my involvement in the culture and art sector of every community in which I have lived — most recently in Kamloops — I have strived to articulate with an informed opinion why I support art and culture in a community. I agree my writings are opinions, but they are informed ones. Past and present civilizations are known to historians not so much by their bank accounts, but by their culture. The arts are not a

Artist Cablz of Bolder Syde Custom Tattoo created this cartoon depicting Drunk in a Graveyard hosts trick-or-treating in Kamloops and receiving candy from their mascot, the goat.

Horror podcast crew will screen Nick Cage’s latest TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops-based horror podcast that has listeners around the world is hosting a showing next week of a new Nicolas Cage thriller that has garnered praise online and on the festival circuit. Mandy, showing Wednesday at the Paramount Theatre, is described as an action horror film set in the 1980s — and it ticked a lot of boxes for Robin, one of three hosts of the Drunk in a Graveyard podcast.

“It’s very much an homage to the 1980s heavy metal culture, Dungeons and Dragons and the old-school heavy metal magazines,” she told KTW. Drunk in a Graveyard is a podcast that offers comedic reviews of scary movies and TV shows, but also has one foot in the heavy metal scene. “We started the Drunk in a Graveyard website in 2012,” Robin said. “It was originally created as humorous reviews of horror movies. We started developing our characters and our writing. Like

we say, we like to put the laughter back in slaughter.” The weekly podcast — three hosts in Kamloops joined by five contributors from elsewhere in Canada, the United States and Germany — launched in January 2016 and has proven popular, Robin said. “Typically, each week we will get together and watch one or two movies or a movie and a TV show, and we will review it,” Robin said. “Over the span of our lifetime, we’ve got over half a million unique page views to the website

and thousands and thousands of downloads of our podcasts.” Robin said the Mandy showing was a perfect fit. “We partnered with the Kamloops Film Society,” she said. “They approached us and asked if we wanted to team up and do something.” The Drunk in a Graveyard crew will host Wednesday’s event — including giveaways and a short talk prior to the film. “Before the event, we’re going to give away prizes,” Robin said. “In order to win first prize, someone has to do their best Nicolas

Cage impression.” Robin said she is hoping to see a diverse crowd. “We’re kind of just expecting anyone because it’s October — it’s spooky,” she said. “We’re hoping to get a wide variety of people. We’re hoping for anyone to show up who wants a good scare for Halloween.” Wednesday’s event begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are available online at kamloopsfilmseries.ca or inperson at Movie Mart. Prices, which include KFS membership, are $11 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for students.

TORONTO — Nova Scotia rapper Classified has been a proponent of smoking marijuana for years, but he says Canada’s new legalization laws have left him confused over the ways he’s allowed to promote the cannabis lifestyle. He knows it’s within his rights to express his love for weed. And he’s allowed to talk publicly about buying shares of OrganiGram, an East Coast cannabis company he struck a loose business relationship with earlier this year. After that it gets a bit hazy, since most celebrity endorsements of a brand are prohibited under the Cannabis Act. “I was emailing OrganiGram going, ‘You guys know I’m actually an investor so we can probably get away with advertising more.’ I’m kind of curious to see what they’re going to come back and say,” he said, sporting a baseball cap emblazoned with a logo for the company’s first recreational weed brand. “They’re so careful not to cross that line. Almost to the point where I’m barely doing anything. I’ll bring them ideas and they’re like, ‘No we can’t do that.’” “I don’t even know what they’re paying me for. Like I’m wearing a hat, I’m trying,” he said. Classified, whose real name is Luke Boyd, has been at the forefront of Canadian hip hop for over a decade, making him a valuable asset for young cannabis companies looking for prominent pot smokers. He’s worked with Buck 65, produced singer Ria Mae and swapped rhymes on a track with weed aficionado Snoop Dogg.

The rapper also seems eager to test the boundaries of the new federal laws. His latest music video might even do that once Health Canada catches a whiff of it. Legal Marijuana, released Wednesday to coincide with legalization, features Classified standing with dozens of people in a public park as they rap along with his verses and every so often toke up and exhale a puff of smoke. That part of the video should be fine under the law. What might raise legal questions is a line he speaks that could be deemed an endorsement of a cannabis brand. The moment happens late in the video after Boyd adjusts his baseball cap and draws attention to the logo for Edison Cannabis Company, which is part of OrganiGram’s recreational pot portfolio. “Feelin’ just right, rollin’ up some of that Edison Reserve. Oh Canada, things have changed,” he said. The line doesn’t appear in the version of the song featured on his album Tomorrow Could Be the Day Things Change. If Health Canada views the rapper saying a specific cannabis brand has him “feelin’ just right,” it’s possible the regulator might see it as crossing the line as an endorsement, suggests Denes Rothschild, a lawyer who watches the cannabis industry. “If he has some sort of business arrangement with them and they’re paying him as an endorser... I think it raises a question,” said Rothschild, a partner at the Borden Ladner Gervais law firm in Toronto. Representatives for Heath Canada didn’t immediately respond to questions about how music videos will be considered under the new laws.

MacIsaac embraces legal weed CANADIAN PRESS

SYDNEY, N.S. — Ashley MacIsaac says he’s spent 25 years feeling like a criminal, but he doesn’t have to feel that way anymore. The 43-year-old Cape Breton-born fiddler has spent decades bringing his particular brand of rock-infused Celtic music to audiences across the country, and along the way has been a frequent cannabis user. “I was doing things that I thought would make people happy — that’s what you do as an entertainer — but at the same time I had to consider myself a criminal,” MacIsaac said Wednesday in a phone interview from Sydney River, N.S. The virtuoso fiddler was first in line at the Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. branch, which was set to become the only legal place to buy recreational marijuana on Cape Breton Island on Wednesday as legalization rolled out across the country. “I don’t need to be a criminal anymore, and that’s a great feeling,” he said. “And my new dealer is the prime minister!” Canada embarked on a new era of legal recreational cannabis Wednesday, with the federal govern-

ment also expected to use the occasion to make it easier for Canadians to get pardons for something that is no longer illegal. MacIsaac was arrested in Saskatchewan in July of 2001 and charged with possession, but was given an absolute discharge a few months later by what he a called “a very considerate and understanding judge.” “It was for such a small amount ... I was arrested for hardly anything,” MacIsaac said. “But that type of thing shouldn’t happen anymore.” MacIsaac spent a chilly night alone outside the NSLC, but by Wednesday morning there were half a dozen other customers lined up to take part. He said the atmosphere was festive. “People seem very friendly and happy and excited that a long, long overdue prohibition has come to a close,” he said. MacIsaac said he hopes to introduce his own branded cannabis products, but for now he’s playing the “long game” as the national marketplace takes shape. “I hope someday that, just like you can buy a Wayne Gretzky wine, you can buy an Ashley MacIsaac-branded marijuana,” he said.

Seeking adventure? Roll up to KamCon Inaugural gaming convention on next weekend at TRU MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

repare to embark on an adventure filled with all types of mythical characters if you roll up to Thompson Rivers University next weekend. On Saturday, Oct. 27, and Sunday, Oct. 28, the Grand Hall will play host to KamCon18 — the first of what is hoped to be an annual event celebrating tabletop gaming culture in Kamloops. Kamloops residents Tyler Carpentier and Julien Leader organized the convention in an effort to bring other gaming enthusiasts together. “It’s shaping up to be a neat weekend,” Carpentier told KTW. The convention is centred around games like Dungeons and Dragons and will feature content tailored toward experienced gamers and those who have

never rolled up a character alike. In addition to D&D, the convention will expose people to myriad other roleplaying board games, such as Scion and FATE. People can sign up for game sessions or take in introductory workshops on what to expect from the game, how to train new dungeon masters and how to paint game miniature figurines. An extensive board game library will be available for people to try, as well as a half-dozen vendors. Want a few laughs to go along with your gaming? The Freudian Slips comedy troupe is scheduled to attend KamCon18 on Sunday to do a live D&D roleplay. “They’re really funny. They do a really good job, so we’re excited to have them there,” Carpentier said. KamCon18 will also feature a cosplay contest where people can dress up as

their favourite characters from books, movies and video games. Demonstrations from the Society for Creative Anachronism — a non-profit organization dedicated to research and recreation of pre-17th century skills, arts and combat — will also be on hand, Carpentier told KTW. The event is also fundraising for a non-profit aimed at solving youth homelessness. “We have a silent auction where the entire proceeds will be going to A Way Home,” Carpentier said. Tickets for general admission to KamCon18 are $5 and available at the door. About 100 to 200 people are expected to visit over the course of the two-day event. “It’s exciting. There’s been a lot of support within the community for sure,” Carpentier said.

Michael Buble shuts down rumours of retirement JONATHAN LANDRUM

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Michael Buble is shutting down rumours that he's going to retire from music, saying he was misquoted in a recent interview. Buble told the Associated Press on Tuesday that he is not planning on retiring anytime soon. He disputes an Oct. 13 interview published in the Daily Mail that said he would quit music after the release of his upcoming album Love, due Nov. 16.

The report suggested the Grammy-winning singer was stepping away from music for good following his son Noah's cancer battle, but Buble said the story is false. “I'll keep going until the news of my death comes out, which will probably be fake too,” he said, with a chuckle. “At that point, you're really famous now. Things are really going well on this record. Buble is hanging with Elvis. ... Buble and Elvis having fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches together.” The Canadian singer took

a two-year break from public life to spend time with his family before recording his eighth studio album. He and his wife, actress Luisana Lopilato, have two sons, Elias and Noah, together and welcomed a baby girl named Vida Amber Betty in July. The singer said he learned about the report after receiving text messages from a couple friends. In reply to his friends, he told them: “Consider the source.” Buble called the Daily Mail report “negative energy.” As a public figure, he said he understands it

comes with the territory but still doesn't want to deal with it. “I'm not strong enough to deal with it, so I don’t deal with it,” he said. “By the way, those friends that wrote me, I said to them 'Thank you so much for caring about my well-being. Do me a favour, don't share it with me. Send me pictures of your kids and tell me how you're doing, because I much rather know about that.”' Buble is known for his critically-acclaimed albums Come Fly with Me and Caught in the Act.
