Owner denies his car was involved in fatal hit and run downtown MOUNTIES SEIZED DODGE NEON FOUR DAYS AFTER MAN WAS KILLED ON SEYMOUR This is an image taken from a surveillance camera on Seymour Street, showing the car police believe struck and killed a man in the early-morning hours of Oct. 20.

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owner of a car seized by police on Wednesday as part of the investigation into a fatal hit-and-run crash on the weekend said Mounties are focusing on the wrong vehicle. The man, who declined to give his name to KTW, said he was told by investigators his silver Dodge Neon is “under suspicion.” The man denied having been involved in the deadly crash and said he has hired a lawyer, who has advised him not to speak to anyone. The man said his vehicle had been parked on Columbia Street since last week. He denied having loaned it to anyone and said it was at no point stolen. Police have been looking for a silver Neon seen leaving the scene of a collision involving a pedestrian early last Saturday morning on Seymour Street near First Avenue. A 48-yearold man was struck and killed and a silver-

coloured Neon was captured on video surveillance outside a nearby business. The vehicle seized on Wednesday was towed from in front of a house in the 1100block of Columbia Street, across the street from Prince Charles Park. “This happened on Friday night or whenever and they don’t show up until today or yesterday?” the Neon owner said. “It doesn’t make sense. And why would I park it out here if it was the one?” The vehicle seized Wednesday was taken to

the North Shore RCMP office to be examined by investigators. It appears to have damage to its front passenger-side bumper and police are examining the car to determine whether that damage is linked to Saturday’s fatality. “We towed it as part of the hit-and-run investigation,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. “We towed it to do a forensic identification on it to determine if it is the suspect vehicle.” The vehicle owner said police are looking at the wrong car. “There’s thousands of cars like that in this town,” he said. “You should ask the RCMP why they’re focusing on this one.” Shelkie said she could not answer that question. “All I can say is we are going to do a forensic examination to determine whether it is the vehicle involved in the hit and run,” she said.

There might not be any white stuff in the air (or on the ground) and, for some, it may be too early to starting thinking of the Christmas season, but we’re hoping it won’t be too early for people to get into the mood to give. This is the fifth year for the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund and we’re very proud to be able to continue the tradition started by Gregg Drinnan and the Kamloops Daily News. The KTW Christmas Cheer Fund raises money every year for five important charities and non-profits in Kamloops during what is, for many of them, one of their most vital seasons. “I got to see this at the Kamloops Daily News before,” said Tim Shoults, operations manager of Aberdeen Publishing, KTW’s parent company. “I got to work with Gregg Drinnan, the person who created the fund for Kamloops, and I’ve seen the amazing way that the community comes together for it. “It absolutely warms my heart and it’s wonderful that we’re able to create this opportunity for our readers to give.” The Y Women’s Emergency Shelter has been included in the Cheer Fund every year since its inception, a stipulation made by Drinnan, who initially donated all money to the shelter. As the fund generated more

THE CHARITIES

Money raised via the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund will go to Y Emergency Women’s Shelter, Falcon Program, Mustard Seed New Life Community, Kamloops Brain Injury Association and Out of the Cold. Read about these groups beginning next week in KTW. You can donate online at kamloopsthisweek.com/cheer.

money through the years, Drinnan decided to include more charities as recipients. Charities like the Out of the Cold winter homeless shelter, which provides beds for the Kamloops homeless community during the coldest days of the year, days when frostbite is a very real danger. “We provide them a bed,” said co-ordinator Renee Stein. “We provide clothing, toiletries, supportive emotional care. We provide them food, as much as they can eat all night long.” The Kamloops Brain Injury Society is also a recipient this year. The society works with people suffering from the lifechanging impacts of everything from car accidents to strokes. They also work with the families of those affected. “We wanted to help both the survivors understand what happened to them, but also the families so that they can provide that extra support,” said society executive director Dave Johnson.

Also receiving funds is the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops’ Falcon Program, which teams up with the Ministry of Children and Family Development, TRU and the Kamloops-Thompson school district to work with children who, because of traumatic events in their personal life, can not participate in the regular school curriculum for more than an hour or two a day. “I think the challenge is that it’s not like they just struggle at school or they’re just struggling at home,” said Kerry Woehle, manager of programs at Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops. “It’s like they struggle in all parts of their life. “And, so, if we’re able to help them build coping skills and help the parents understand how to best respond and support their child, then it’s just more successful for everybody.” The final non-profit to receive money from the Cheer Fund in 2018 is the Mustard Seed New Life Community. It is planning to use the funds to expand and upgrade its kitchen, which will allow the organization to feed even more people coming through their door. In the weeks to come, we’ll be shining a spotlight on these various charities, on the work they do and how they plan to use money raised in the Cheer Fund. Of course, we can’t even begin to do this work without your generosity. To learn more and to donate online, go to kamloopsthisweek. com/cheer.

MORTGAGE MATTERS PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER For many Canadian homeowners, one of their highest financial priorities is to pay off their mortgage as quickly as possible. Making extra payments in the early years can shorten the life of a mortgage — and dramatically lower the mortgage interest costs you’ll pay over the long haul. Those extra payments can be a sacrifice, so here are some tips to help motivate you: TIP #1: Start small - Round up your payments Try adding $10 or $20 extra per payment, the amount of interest you are saving will make a difference over time, and it’s relatively painless to part with. TIP #2: Increase your payment annually to the most you can afford Most lenders will allow you to increase your monthly payment by 10%, 15% or even 20%. Increasing your payment means you won’t have to be disciplined to save up a lump sum payment, it will be added to your payment each month, and go directly against your mortgage principle. If you find the payments are too much, most lenders will allow you to reduce your payment to the original contract rate. A small fee may apply. TIP #3: Pay a lump sum whenever possible Lump sum payments are extra payments which go directly against your mortgage principle. Now remember, your monthly payment of interest and principle was based on you making NO extra payments – so in fact, because of your payment, less interest will accrue and now more of your regular monthly payment will go toward paying down mortgage principle. TIP #4: Invest in your mortgage for tax free savings If you prepay $1000 of your mortgage balance and your mortgage interest rate is 5%, you will save about $50 per year. Now, because of income taxes (estimated at 35%), you actually have to earn $77 to make $50 in real after tax dollars. An argument could be made that your $1000 payment/investment in your mortgage, actually pays a 7.7% return per year, not just 5%. Thats more than most GICs or bonds and the savings are not taxable! TIP #5: With variable rate mortgages, keep payments the same when mortgage rates fall If the payment amount has not been a problem, try keeping it the same and pay down the principal faster. TIP #6: Raise payments in line with increased income If your income increases, consider applying at least some of the surplus toward your mortgage. The long-term benefits of becoming mortgage free faster should be a strong motivator to make an increased mortgage payment. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on interest!

Petition calls for ban on plastic bags JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops resident has started an online petition urging city council to ban single-use plastic bags. Charlotte Wyvill, 33, started the Change.org petition two days ago due to concerns about climate change and has garnered about 500 signatures. “I think it’s very doable and it’s something that can make a big impact,” she said. Plastic bags are difficult to recycle and harm oceans, Wyvill noted, and she recommended re-usable plastic bags, cloth bags and boxes at grocery stores as alternatives. She said municipalities across the country have taken stances via city bylaws against single-use plastics. Earlier this year, Montreal became the first major Canadian city to ban plastic bags, while Vancouver was the first major Canadian city to ban plastic straws just months later. Wyvill is calling on the city’s elected officials to start the conversation in Kamloops — and there appears to be mixed feelings on the mater.

What Do You Think?

Send your thoughts via email to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Mayor Ken Christian said he is in favour of re-usable cloth bags and thinks the public is largely going that way. But he prefers charging a fee to curb behaviour and public education over what he called a “big brother ban” that would require bylaw enforcement. Coun. Arjun Singh — the lone councillor left on the city’s sustainability committee with Tina Lange leaving and Donovan Cavers ousted — could not say if he would support a ban on plastic bags. He said wants to see an a strategy for reducing greenhouse gases in Kamloops, due out by city staff next year, and stressed the importance of prioritizing efforts that will have the most impact. “If plastic bag banning is something that would bring us a lot of benefit, maybe we put that up higher on our priority list,” he said. Three city councillors — Dale Bass, Dieter Dudy and Kathy Sinclair — pledged at a seniors

forum during the civic election campaign to support a ban on plastic bags. Dudy called single-use plastic bags a “thing of the past” and suggested going back to paper or cloth. “I’m glad to see someone is stepping up to the plate and trying to do something about this,” he told KTW. Bass said there is “too much plastic in our world.” As a new face on council, she said she does not yet know whether the city can impose bylaws on businesses, but noted she would be in favour of such a ban if it falls within the city’s scope. Next steps for Wyvill include trying to double the number of signatures on the petition before sending it to city council and suggesting they take the matter further as a city. She also has her eye on other singleuse items — coffee cups, water bottles and Styrofoam containers. “It’s really taking a toll on our planet,” Wyvill said. The petition can be found online at tinyurl. com/ya6b3gqj.

Officials with BC Corrections are confident they will have sufficient options in place to help inmates get home following their release from prison after Greyhound pulls out of the province next week. Prison staff are generally required to return prisoners to the area they were sentenced upon release and Greyhound has played a significant role in that process for decades — a bus ticket and a ride to the nearest depot. “As inmates leave custody, BC Corrections is obliged to return them to what’s called their court of origin within the province,” BC Corrections spokeswoman Cindy Rose said. “Generally, this means giving them the means needed to return home or to another location considered reasonable or necessary, like a treatment centre.” Rose said prison staff will rely on “transportation alternatives” once Greyhound stops running — friends and family, taxi vouchers, rides from staff and pickup services from treatment centres. “BC Corrections fully expects to use these alternatives more frequently going forward,” she said. “We are also aware of ongoing work by a federal, provincial and territorial working group specifically looking at the inter-city bus issue, as well as private operators’ interest in specific inter-city routes, both of which may generate solutions and further discussion on potential options for inmate transport.” Greyhound announced in July it would no longer serve Western Canada as of Nov. 1. The sole remaining route in B.C. will be a Seattle to Vancouver run operated by Greyhound’s U.S. arm. A number of transportation companies have expressed an interest in filling the void left by the longtime bus company’s departure. Three have thus far been approved to carry passengers between Kamloops and Vancouver and points in between.

The battle for SD73 board chair has begun MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

There’s one more vote left for school trustees. The next chair and vice-chair of School District 73’s board of education will be nominated and voted on by its nine members at the Nov. 5 inaugural meeting. Current chair Meghan Wade, who was re-elected on Oct. 20, told KTW she intends to again seek the position, but there is already some support for a change in leadership. New trustee Diane Jules, who succeeded Denise Harper as the Area 4 (Chase, Sun Peaks, Sun Rivers) trustee, believes fellow newcomer John O’Fee would make a good choice as head of the board. “I think John O’Fee would be a wonderful board chair,” Jules said. The local lawyer has previously served on the school board and was its chair. O’Fee said he is considering running for the position, but has yet to make a final decision. “It doesn’t belong to anyone,” O’Fee said. Incumbent Joe Small won’t run for chair, but said he would nominate O’Fee to replace Wade if O’Fee chooses to seek the position. Small said O’Fee would be a strong leader. Small, who is beginning his second term on the school board, said he has a tense relationship with Wade and, while he said he is not sure what

MEGHAN WADE

started the rift, he cited the fact he doesn’t always go along with what the current chair wants as the possible reason they don’t get along. “I always believe it takes two to tango, so I will take equal responsibility for the fact there is definitely tension between the two of us. We lock horns,” Small said. The decision last year to have the school district return to a one-week spring break is the biggest issue between them, he said. In response to Small’s comments on their apparent tension, Wade said she has great respect for the outgoing board and “complete faith” in the incoming trustees. “This board does good work. We have moments where we don’t agree — all of us on the board — that comes out in our discussions and then we walk away and we continue to do the work of the board,” Wade said. While Small doesn’t intend to seek the chair position, he said he may be interested in vicechair. That position is vacant as previous vice-

JOE SMALL

chair Gerald Watson did not seek re-election as a trustee, instead mount-

ing an unsuccessful bid for city council. Small said he feels reelected trustee Kathleen Karpuk would make a good vice-chair as she has served in that position before. Karpuk said she needs to talk to a few people before deciding whether to seek either role. “I want to make sure there’s the support there before I move on that,” she said.

As for the tensions between Small and Wade, Karpuk said “there’s definitely been some sparks and they do rub each other the wrong way, but everyone comes together and does what’s best for students.” Karpuk said she feels it’s a bad thing if a board moves continuously in lockstep. “There are always going to be some conflicts between people,”

Karpuk said. “The important thing is that people are able to put that aside and work together.” Newly elected trustee Heather Grieve said she also won’t pursue chairing the board, but is keen to support an experienced trustee. “I will want to get a sense of what’s happening already and looking at the relationships that are already there,

but also looking at the newcomers,” she said, noting O’Fee has experience and that she doesn’t want to overlook him as a possible chair simply because he’s new to the current board. Rural trustees Rhonda Kershaw, Cara McKelvey and Shelley Sim said they have no intention of seeking the role of chair, nor do they yet have anyone in mind for the job.

Help change the world. “These awards are truly life-changing. Every bit, no matter how small or large that you donate, is going to have a huge impact on other people’s lives.

ANOTHER TRAGEDY BEING PROBED

here is a sense of deja vu in Kamloops as Mounties probe an incident in which a person was struck and killed by a vehicle, with the driver leaving the scene. As Kamloops Mounties towed a vehicle of interest from Columbia Street on Wednesday, one could be forgiven for thinking back two years, to November 2016, when a similar tragedy occurred in the city. Then, 16-year-old Jennifer Gatey was waiting for a bus in Aberdeen when she was struck and killed by a passing vehicle. The driver of that Jeep, Jason Gourlay, knew he had killed a pedestrian, yet tried to hide the evidence, washing his vehicle and attempting to cover up damage to the front end. Police were seen towing his vehicle from his Dufferin home just days after Jennifer’s death. The long court process finally ended this past May, when Gourlay was sentenced to 10 months in prison, a term condemned by many as being wholly inadequate. Today, police are in the beginning stages of an investigation into the death of a 48-year-old man who was struck and killed on Seymour Street, near First Avenue, in the early-morning hours of last Saturday. There was no rain, nor snow, and streets were bare. Whether the driver of the vehicle that struck and killed the man know they hit someone is part of the investigation. But if this latest fatal hit-and-run incident involves somebody who knew what happened, failed to stop and render assistance and attempted to evade justice, we must ask if we have learned anything at all from the anguish that Jennifer’s death wrought on her family, her friends and the community. We will learn soon enough whether the Dodge Neon seized on Wednesday is indeed the vehicle connected to last weekend’s death. We hope the agonizing trail through the justice system is not as long, nor as frustrating, as that which carried Gourlay to his sentence.

Yes . . . no . . . maybe

t’s not often politicians from opposite sides of the House of Commons manage to appear weak, indecisive and hypocritical within days of each other. So it was that we found federal Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan and Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer standing on different spots on the political spectrum, yet managing to look equally inept when asked about the Saudi affair. That would be the Canadian government’s $15-billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia, signed by the Stephen Harper Conservative government and continued under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government. Journalists from across the country have been asking Trudeau and his cabinet ministers and MPs if the deal with Saudi Arabia should be cancelled in the wake of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Turkey. The question should also be asked in light of the ongoing slaughter by the Saudis of thousands of men, women and children in Yemen as the Arab kingdom continues to bomb its impoverished neighbour. The question of whether Canada should be selling weaponry to such a repugnant regime has been questioned — albeit more quietly — before the Khashoggi and Yemen atrocities. Saudi Arabia, after all, is a longtime champion human rights abuser that treats women like livestock, jails those who criticize the ruling family and serves as a breeding ground for terrorism.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS Canada has been selling arms to Saudi Arabia for a quartercentury, with the latest $15-billion deal seeing General Dynamics of London, Ont., supply between 700 and 950 light-armoured vehicles to the country. When Sajjan visited Kamloops last week and KTW asked him if Canada should be selling arms to Saudi Arabia in light of the Khashoggi murder — undoubtedly the work of Saudi leader Mohammed bin Salma — he answered with non-answers. Neither a yes nor a no escaped Sajjan’s lips as he instead spoke vaguely about human rights. “When it comes to human rights, our government both will always publicly and privately stand up for human rights,” is what Sajjan said, despite the fact his government is indeed not standing up for human rights and has instead decided to accept billions from a country that is the enemy of human rights. Such a disappointing and meek response is not exclusive to the governing Liberals.

Conservative leader Scheer, when asked this week if Canada should cancel the arms contract, refused to answer, instead talking about Canadian oil. The federal government continues to ship the armoured vehicles to Saudi Arabia while continuing to not answer the simple question of whether it should. Trudeau’s Liberals have been extremely vocal in claiming to stand up for human rights, yet it appears acting on such a stance goes no further than tweets by the foreign minister. Trudeau told the CBC this week that cancelling the contract would be costly. “I do not want to leave Canadians holding a billion-dollar bill because we’re trying to move forward on doing the right thing,” Trudeau said. Yet Trudeau’s government has written off $12.5 billion in loans in three years,including a $2.6-billion loan Ottawa gave to Chrysler in 2009. Of course there are ramifications to cancelling the trade deal with Saudi Arabia, not least of which are thousands of jobs in southwestern Ontario. If the Liberal government feels not losing a billion dollars and retaining thousands of jobs outweighs sending weaponry to a regime that routinely violates human rights, it should simply state as much. While the explanation may not please some people, at least it would be a welcome clearing in the fog of non-answers that has enveloped the political arena. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

ANOTHER REASON FOR MORE ILLEGAL DUMPING Editor: This past summer, there was an article published in KTW regarding an increase in illegal garbage dumping on back roads and the rising costs of disposing at the local landfill. However, due to my personal experiences with commercial vehicle safety enforcement (CVSE) officers, there is a bigger problem than just the costs at the dump. In the beginning of October, I was on my way to the dump when I was stopped at a mandatory CVSE check stop on Mission Flats Road, about one kilometre from the landfill. The officer began to ask me a series of questions and inspected my trailer. As the breakaway control would not work, I was told I needed to repair it. He also said I needed to have a full inspection done on the trailer, noting it should have been inspected when I originally had it insured. I tried to explain to the officer that my insurance policy and the class that my trailer is under did not require an inspection. He said the insurance company was wrong and disregarded the information. He then insisted I leave the trailer on the side of the road to have it towed at my expense. Upon fixing the control, I went to my insurance broker, who gave me documentation stating I did not need to have an inspection due to the class of my trailer and insurance policy. Furthermore, I spoke with a lawyer who informed me that insurance documents were legal documents that would hold up in court.

Next, I went to the CVSE office and spoke with the same officer, who once again disregarded my policy and the confirming documentation from the insurance company. Because he would not adhere to the legal paperwork and because he had originally stated I needed the inspection after fixing the breakaway switch, I had to comply with getting the inspection done, at a cost of $159. If he had done his due diligence and acknowledged his error, I could have fixed the breakaway switch for $12, instead of incurring the additional cost for the inspection. As a senior who does odd jobs to augment a small federal pension, this took an incredible amount of time and effort to resolve. Although I proved I was right in not needing an inspection, the CVSE manager also backed the original officer. Things could have been much easier if he would have accepted the legal information provided to him multiple times, but instead it cost me a significant amount of money and anxiety. This past summer, I witnessed the CVSE pulling over anyone attempting to go to the dump. For those who have a limited income, the amount of money spent on towing, inspections and repairing could be a deterrent to dumping at the landfill. Hence, it’s not the prices at the dump that are completely to blame for illegal dumping. Stan Barron, Kamloops

RE: STORY: FEWER DISCARDED NEEDLES BEING FOUND:

THANKS FOR THE VOICE Editor: I would like to thank the City of Kamloops’ traffic-control department for installing audible pedestrian crossing signals at Renfrew Street and Tranquille Road and at Eighth Street and Tranquille Road. My mother-in-law is legally blind and wants to stay as independent as possible. She would not cross at these intersections as she cannot see to know if it was safe

or not to use the crosswalk. I know these signals are costly, but if you could hear the excitement in my motherin-law’s voice when she discovered they were installed — and that she can now cross safely to get to her favourite North Shore shopping areas — you would know it was worth it. Again, thank you. Phyllis Wilson Kamloops

A FAN OF PETERSON PATH Editor: My friend and I just walked up and down the new Peterson Creek pathway. It is just stunning. Well done, City of Kamloops. I hope we can walk it year-round? Alea Thom Kamloops

bers spent in North Kamloops, Proulx noted that after the initial sweep of the area was done, it “helped a lot.” North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Jeremy Heighton said he is hearing, anecdotally, that fewer needles are on the streets, though other drug paraphernalia continues to be found. “While we are finding significantly fewer needles, we are still finding other supplies,” Heighton said. Proulx said a number of factors are driving improvements in the numbers, including initiatives by social agencies, the needle exchange program and disposal bins. “There’s a lot more awareness from the public,” she said. “There’s a lot more pro-

grams in place right now.” Proulx said the North Kamloops pilot project was successful and noted its return next year will depend on funding, which comes from a number of sources, including Rocky Mountaineer, Service Canada, Tourism Kamloops, the City of Kamloops and the downtown and North Shore business improvement associations. “We’re hoping we can continue those relationships and go over again next year,” Proulx said. CAP members monitor downtown year-round. Safety issues, needle pickup, tours by donation and information about downtown can be accessed through its members by calling 250-572-3009.

The Customer Care and Patrol (CAP) Team is reporting a more than 50 per cent decline in discarded needles found downtown this year. From January to the end of September, the downtown ambassadors picked up 618 needles in the city’s core, compared to 1,291 during the same time last year and 1,155 in 2016. “It’s an amazing thing,” CAP supervisor Alexis Proulx said. “We don’t want to see people dropping them and we don’t want them to be a public safety hazard.” CAP members patrol the downtown core — from First Avenue to 10th Avenue and from Columbia Street to the river. They guide tourists, report potholes and are also trained to pick up needles, carrying backpacks equipped with disposal bins and tongs. CAP also expanded to North Kamloops this year, patrolling the Tranquille Corridor from May to the end of September. Proulx said 460 needles were collected by CAP members during that time. Because the CAP Team program was in its first year north of the river, as part of a pilot project, there is no baseline data on which to compare the quantity of discarded needles found. While 460 discarded needles may seem high for the amount of time mem-

The city wants to service land in the southwest sector to attract light- and medium-industrial businesses that previously bypassed Kamloops. Last week, council sent $8.7 million of water and sewer upgrades for review next year by a development cost charge committee. “I believe that this is a real chicken-and-egg situation,” Coun. Kathy Sinclair said. “If we don’t develop this land and put in the water system and the upgrades needed as soon as possible, we are going to be losing out on more economic development opportunities.” City development director Marvin Kwiatkowski told council the city’s current supply of industrial land has driven businesses out of town due to limited options. Of 68 hectares of industrial land available as of January, just 10 hectares were located in the southwest sector, which encompasses Mission Flats, Iron Mask North, Iron Mask West, Versatile and Southgate. That area is desirable to light- and medium-industrial businesses, council heard, due to its proximity to services and the main highway, while steering clear of residential areas. Most of the current industrial land supply is on the outskirts of the city. “I’ve heard lots of stories about some [businesses] that have not found what they’re looking for and they head down the road to another city with a K,” Kwiatkowski said. Based on historical building data, interviews with stakeholders and industrial sector employment forecasts, a report to council cited demand for 50 hectares of industrial land over the next 25 years in Kamloops, with 43 hectares of that expected to be in the southwest area.

This City of Kamloops table shows how much vacant industrial land exists in different quadrants of the city. Officials at city hall are hoping to make the southwest area more desirable for industry.

ON THE TABLE • SIZE OF LOTS Strongest demand is for 0.4 to 0.8 hectares, second-highest demand is for 1.2 to two hectares and third-highest demand is for fourplus hectares; • WHAT THEY WANT Eighty per cent of businesses are looking for 3,000to 5,000 square-foot buildings, along with parking and exterior storage. Next highest demand (15 per cent) was for 10,000- to 15,000 square-foot buildings. • LOOKING FORWARD Most demand in the next 25 years will be in the southwest sector, 43 of 50 hectares overall. • WHO ARE THEY? Interest has generally been from light- and mediumindustry businesses.

Nearly 200 hectares of vacant developable land is situated within that sector and 175 hectares has been designated for future industrial development in KamPlan. Paving way for development, however, requires, upgrades to water and sewer services. Upgrading the current water servicing — excluding feeder lines that would be required by each development — is estimated to cost $5.3 million. As for sewer, the city wants to install a new trunk main from Mission Flats Road near the Kamloops Sewage Treatment

Centre through Domtar’s property to Sugar Loaf Road at a cost of $3.4 million. Kwiatkowski said development cost charges — which are levied primarily on developers to pay for infrastructure as the city grows — were considered the “optimal” financing option due to economic benefits that would result in the city. He noted 1,000 new jobs in Kamloops anticipated through 2041 in manufacturing, wholesale trade, transportation, repairs and maintenance, as well an increased tax base and further development and housing. Other funding options include giving the first developer the tab, with so-called “latecomers” repaying later. However, Kwiatkowski said that option could stifle development. Council voted 8-1 to send the project to the DCC committee. Coun. Arjun Singh voted against, due the decision’s proximity to the election (the discussion took place four days before voters went to the polls), noting he would have preferred the new council to make the decision. The DCC committee — which will consist of builders, city councillors and other stakeholders — will convene next year to allocate some $40 million in DCCs for the next decade.

The investment in affordable housing through the Women’s Transition Housing Fund that is dedicated to women and children escaping violence is crucial.” Calls to the Kamloops and District Elizabeth Fry Society for more information about the project were not answered by KTW press time.

Mission Flats housing project nearly ready JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Residents have been identified and temporary housing on Mission Flats Road is nearly complete. ASK Wellness executive director Bob Hughes expects occupancy on Nov. 5. “We are feeling pretty darn good about where we’re going, that this is

going to land on that time,” he said. Hughes said workers have been at the site 12 hours a day, seven days a week, to have the temporary housing project open before winter. Being built is a $6.6-million facility to house the homeless or at-risk of homeless in Kamloops over the next three years and possibly longer. Everything is in place, Hughes said, with power and hookups among final steps.

The project is nearly completed and residents have also been identified for all of the 55 units. Organizations in town that work with the homeless and tenuously housed have been trained to go to riverbanks, shelters and hospitals to assess needs in the city. “Through that process, we’ve identified the 55 people who will move in,” Hughes said. Staff have also been hired to pro-

vide supports at the Mission Flats facility. He said there is “huge demand” and noted a recent homeless count that identified about 200 homeless people in Kamloops. Asked if he is concerned about those people heading into the winter months, Hughes said: “I have to give the City of Kamloops and BC Housing just the utmost compliments. They have worked tirelessly

to exhaust every possible option.” After an absence of shelter and housing in the past, Hughes praised the province for several housing announcements as of late — 30 shelter spaces coming to Royal Avenue, as well as 58 units at 317 Tranquille Rd. next spring and 43 units at Spirit Square in fall 2019. “The corrective steps taken by the province have been nothing short of astonishing,” Hughes said.

Developer scoops up more property for housing PROJECT COULD INCLUDE SENIORS’ RESIDENCES JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The same developer who purchased a long-vacant movie theatre in downtown Kamloops has now scooped up the property next door. Peter Seed, vice-president of investment sales at NAI Commercial, confirmed sale of the property, at 630 Victoria St., closed last week. “What they’re doing is combining the properties to make one big site,” Seed told KTW. The 8,000-square-foot property was purchased from a group of Albertans operating under a numbered company. It is currently home to three

commercial spaces. The property at 612 Victoria St., which was formerly home to the Cineplex Odeon theatre nearly two decades ago, before it moved to Aberdeen, was purchased from a group of Vancouver lawyers. The 13,500-square-foot property had previously drawn the ire of residents as the existing 12,000-square-foot building sat vacant for years in the city’s core. Seed earlier told KTW the property’s previous owners hoped to attract new tenants, though upgrades proved more expensive than initially expected and the property eventually became a nuisance to the outof-town owners, with break-ins,

vandalism and squatters commonplace. Plans for the accumulated 21,500-square-foot site have yet to be revealed by developer Kaktus Flats Development, who could not be reached by KTW. Rumoured, however, is a multi-use affordable housing complex for seniors, complete with six floors of apartment units, 15,000 square feet of commercial space and an underground parking lot. Initially projected to include 60 units at that location, acquisition of the second property could increase that number to as many as 120 units. The project could begin construction next spring and be occupied by mid-2020.

Remembering the Tranquille days of youth MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

ABOVE: Bob King (left) and Warren Smith look at old photos set up on poster paper at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel during a reunion breakfast. RIGHT: Janet Surline’s photos from Tranquille. BELOW: The Tranquille students pose for a photo. MICHAEL POTESTIO PHOTOS/KTW

t was a weekend filled with smiles and stories as former classmates and neighbours who spent their childhoods at the Tranquille sanitarium in the 1950s were reunited. They are the children of former employees who worked at the government facility west of Kamloops. They met for breakfast at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel before visiting Tranquille. “Hey Warren, I haven’t seen you in a million years,” Scott Sutton tells Warren Smith as he enters the room — no need to read the name tag after 60 years apart. The reunion was organized by Janet Surline and Sheila Forster — who grew up together at the sanitarium and remained in touch — for their fellow classmates, all of whom were taught in a oneroom school on the property by a single teacher overseeing grades 1 to 8. Opened in 1907 to treat tuberculosis patients, the Tranquille sanitarium was closed in 1958 and re-opened a year later as a home for the mentally ill until its closure in the early 1980s. A self-sustaining community developed that included cottages for employees, a farm, a fire hall and a laundry facility. Beneath the ground, an extensive tunnel system connected the many buildings on the property. Bob King, whose father ran the farm, remembers playing hide and seek in those tunnels. “We used to know every way in and out of those buildings,” King said. “I pretty well know every square inch of what was above ground and underground. “Everyone who lived there was either an employee, their family or patients — and they all intermingled,” said Scott Sutton, whose father, Tom Sutton, was the fire chief. “It was kind of a neat place to live. The community itself was quite remarkable and us kids, we were free to roam,” said the 72-year-old, who went on to become an RCMP officer. “We did what normal kids did that didn’t have TVs or smartphones,” he said with a laugh. Surline, 70, whose father was the chief engineer, remembers hiking up Tranquille Creek and smoking rotting driftwood as makeshift cigarettes because “we thought we were cool.” She described the decade she lived at Tranquille with her parents and two siblings between 1953 and 1963 as some of the best years of her life. For this group of old friends, the Tranquille sanitarium wasn’t a hospital; it was their home.

e c n a d n o t le e k s e h t ’t Q: Why didnHalloween party? at the y

d o b o n d a h t I : A dance with! to

“It was the best place to grow up,” Surline said. People came from all over, including the U.S., Saskatchewan and parts of B.C., for what was a threeday tribute to their old stomping grounds. Planned activities included a trip to the Kamloops Museum and a tour of their former homes — most of which are still standing. Smith, who made the trip from California, remembers how pristine and resort-like Tranquille used to be. His home has since been torn down, but he showed photos of it. His family lived at Tranquille from 1947 to 1957, from the time he was two until he was 12. His father was a chef and his mother worked in the canteen. He said one of his fondest memories was fishing for trout on Kamloops Lake with his dad. “I remember building forts in the haystacks,” Smith. “And getting into trouble,” Surline added, noting how it would anger King’s father. “Oh did he get mad quite a few times and it didn’t seem to stop us.” Also on the agenda during the reunion was an excursion up Tranquille Creek to pan for gold in honour of local prospector Paddy Docksteader, with whom the kids would tag along from time to time. Being taught out of the one-room, single-teacher school felt like learning via correspondence, said 74-year-old Pat Woo — Surline’s sister and a retired teacher. Woo said the teacher would be pre-occupied helping the Grade 1 students while the older kids were busy working on the board or from their textbooks. In winter, the fire department would flood a patch of land the kids would use as a skating rink. Smith recalled losing all their hockey pucks in the mountainous snowbanks before winter’s end and not being able to find them until spring. “Most of us became pretty good skaters just pushing shovels to clear the snow off,” Smith said. To get a hockey game together, everyone needed to participate, regardless of age or six. Woo would often play goalkeeper without any equipment. “I mean, somebody had to do the net,” she said.“It was an idyllic place for kids to grow up.” Picking wild asparagus from the graveyard, riding pigs and horses bareback or going fishing for the day are just some examples of the carefree childhood that was experienced at Tranquille in the 1950s. “It was just a freedom that kids don’t have today,” said Judy Choboter, Sutton’s older sister. “I remember as a kid running through the tunnels, which now are tours. “We could ride our bikes anywhere up into the mountains.” IVE

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW The kids from Tranquille gather for one last photo during their reunion tour of their home in the 1950s.

Seeing friends and siblings again brought up fond memories for Choboter, who was grateful Surline went to the trouble of organizing the reunion. “It’s funny looking at everybody,” Choboter said. “You don’t think you’re old until you look back and start to think about years and how long it has been [since]you lived there.” King said many families left when the TB sanitarium closed in 1958 as jobs were no longer there. For the group at the reunion, many noted leaving when their parents changed jobs and they pursued higher education. For Surline and Woo, tragedy led to their family leaving as their father drowned in a boating accident in 1962. A year later, the family moving back to the

Lower Mainland, where they still had a home. “We never sold it,” Surline said. “It was our life saver, really, at the time.” Today, the once lively Tranquille sanitarium is a place where visitors gather to take tours, watch theatre productions and, this month, try to find their way out of an underground escape room, courtesy of Tim McLeod’s Tranquille Farm Fresh, which highlights the property’s storied history. In the past 30 years, attempts have been made to develop Tranquille into a resort community to no avail, but if that day ever comes, Surline said she will be first in line to live in the community where she spent the time of her life. “Tranquille has my heart,” she said.

THE WAR IN YEMEN IS THE BIGGER, UNREPORTED LIE

s Saudi Crown Prince Moham med bin Salman (MbS) tries frantically to scrub Jamal Khashoggi’s blood off his hands like a Middle Eastern Lady Macbeth, could we have a word about his war in Yemen? In the Saudi consulate in Istanbul two weeks ago, the crown prince’s henchmen murdered one high-profile critic of his rule. In Yemen, on Saudi Arabia’s southern border, his air force and those of his allies have been killing about 100 men, women and children per week for more than three years. The killings have been to little avail, it must be said, but the futility of MbS’s bombing campaign does not excuse it. When the war in Yemen is discussed in the Western media, two phrases recur constantly. One is the “internationally recognized president,” a phrase meant to suggest that the man in question, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, is somehow the legitimate and even democratically elected leader of Yemen. Hadi has been living in exile in Saudi Arabia for the past three years, with only occasional brief visits to the sliver of territory in southern Yemen still controlled by his supporters. He is currently in the United States for medical treatment. The other misleading phrase is the “Iranianbacked Houthi rebels,” a formulation meant to suggest the Houthis, who have controlled

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH most of Yemen for the past three years, are mere pawns of the evil Iranians. “Iranian-backed” is also meant to suggest the Houthi rebels are actually being supplied with weapons by Iran, an allegation used by Arab countries beholden to Saudi Arabia and by MbS’s American and European arms suppliers to justify their support for his war on Yemen. Both phrases are deliberately misleading. Hadi came to power in Yemen in 2012, when the Arab spring revolt that overthrew long-ruling dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh was threatening to topple into civil war. Saleh had always resisted Saudi Arabia’s attempts to control its far poorer Yemeni neighbour and the Saudis exploited his fall to put their own man, Hadi, into power. Hadi was “elected” president in 2012, in an election in which nobody else ran, to serve a two-year transitional term while the country sorted out a new constitution. He was effectively overthrown by Houthi tribal militia in 2014, partly because he was a Saudi puppet, but mainly because he supported

a Saudi scheme to create a federal system that would impoverish the Houthis. The northern highlands where the Houthis live are the poorest of all Yemen’s regions, but the proposed federal system would have reserved the country’s dwindling oil revenues for the sparsely populated southwestern provinces, from where the oil comes. Were the Saudis deliberately trying to hurt the Houthis, who are Shia and therefore not trusted by Riyadh? That’s certainly how the Houthis saw it, so they rebelled. It had nothing to do with the Iranians. Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen is really about putting its own man, Hadi, back into power. He is “internationally recognized” (although his mandate ran out four years ago), but that’s no great accomplishment. Even Saddam Hussein was “internationally recognized.” Iran certainly approves of the Houthi revolt, partly because the Houthis are fellow Shias, but mainly because they overthrew a Saudi puppet president. But there is no reason to believe Iran actively encouraged the revolt — the Houthis understand their own interests quite well — and absolutely no evidence it has supplied the Houthis with weapons. It’s just not necessary. Yemen is flooded with weapons and always has been. Besides, there is no way for Iran to get weapons and supplies in to the Houthis.

Yemen is 1,000 kilometres from Iran, with Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies in between. Saudi Arabia and its allies control the seas around Yemen and the airspace over it. The whole idea is nonsense. The Saudis make a great fuss about the missiles the Houthis occasionally launch at Saudi Arabian targets, in a pathetic retaliation for the intense Saudi air attacks they live under every day. Riyadh claims the missiles must be Iranian because the Yemenis are too primitive to handle that technology. This is more nonsense. The missiles are just upgraded Scuds, a 1950s Soviet design that was sold to half the countries in the Third World. The Yemeni armed forces had them, the Houthis captured them and Yemeni technicians are perfectly capable of extending their range to reach Riyadh and other Saudi cities. But they have not managed to make them accurate at those ranges as they rarely hit anything. The Houthis are not an admirable lot, but they are just fighting in their corner. There are no Iranians in sight, but Saudi stories about them win American support for MbS’s war. And the Western media almost never question these much bigger lies, although they are having a collective meltdown over the murder of Khashoggi.

NATIONAL NEWS SCHEER QUESTIONS PIPELINE LAUREN KRUGEL

CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — The federal Opposition leader is suggesting the Liberals have no intention of beginning the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion before next year’s election. Andrew Scheer likened it to Monty Python’s dead parrot sketch because Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants everyone to believe the Alberta-toB.C. oil pipeline is still alive. Scheer made his remarks at the Energy Relaunch conference in Calgary. The Liberal government purchased the existing Trans Mountain pipeline from Kinder Morgan earlier this year for $4.5 billion after the U.S. firm became frustrated by political roadblocks. An expansion to nearly triple the line’s capacity is in limbo following a Federal Court of Appeal ruling in August that requires more Indigenous consultation and research into increased tanker traffic. In his speech, Scheer accused Trudeau of being hostile to the energy sector and said a Conservative prime minister would get private companies to build market-opening pipelines. “I believe it is Justin Trudeau’s strategy to not have this pipeline even started to be built by the next election. He just can’t admit that it will be dead by the next election,’’ Scheer said Thursday. “It’s a little bit like the Monty Python dead parrot sketch. He just wants everyone to believe that it’s not quite gone yet.’’ Alberta’s United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney told the crowd that if he becomes premier after next spring’s election, he will set up a war room to take on critics of the province’s energy industry in real time. Kenney said Alberta would not do business with banks that have boycotted the oilsands.

Freeland, Trudeau defend media amid Trump bomb rhetoric CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada’s foreign minister delivered an impassioned defence of a free press Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out again at the media, this time accusing journalists for causing a series of letter bombs. Chrystia Freeland said politicians have a responsibility to be very clear that a free press is a

crucial part of democracy. “We need to pull back from that jousting that is a natural part of the relationship between politicians and journalists, pull back and take a moment to underscore how important a free press is and how important the work of journalists is,’’ she said in Winnipeg. “There is a very troubling trend worldwide right now of attacks on journalists and we condemn that absolutely and categori-

3 Reasons to Take Vitamin C and Lysine Now! W. GIFFORD-JONES, MD 1. Immune Health

This is a no-brainer – Vitamin C supports a healthy immune system which is essential in cold and flu season. Vitamin C and frequent hand-washing are two of the easiest steps to take for staying healthy.

2. Collagen Formation for Heart Health and more…

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. A lack of vitamin C and lysine results in poor collagen and weak arteries. Coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other artery in the body. Without sufficient vitamin C and lysine the constant pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, contributing to atherosclerosis, blood clots or rupturing of a weakened artery, resulting in a stroke. Collagen keeps gums and cartilage healthy too – reducing tooth loss and painful joints. If that’s not enough, all the beauty experts will also tell you collagen helps keep skin looking youthful.

3. Wound Healing, Cold Sores, Shingles

The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections. It helps reduce the severity and duration of cold sores, and combined with vitamin C promotes wound healing and helps fight shingles infections. To maintain optimal health and improve your chances of reaching 90+, I recommend Medi-C Plus® with high dose vitamin C and lysine – just mix with your morning juice. I started taking high dose vitamin C and lysine after my heart attack 20 years ago: I still enjoy travelling, writing my columns and I also rappelled down Toronto City Hall to help raise funds for Make-A-Wish® Canada. I turned 94 this year - not bad!

You can host a bat party, attend a bat talk or join an invasive weed-pull event. “Bats help us, but now they need our help” said Mandy Kellner, co-ordinator of the BC Community Bat Program. “The conservation of bats in B.C. has always been important since over half the species in this province are considered at risk. With the discovery of white-nose syndrome in Washington state, bat conservation is more important than ever.” White-nose syndrome (WNS) is a disease caused by an introduced fungus, first detected in North America in a cave in New York in 2006. Since it was discovered, WNS has spread to 33 states and seven provinces in North America, decimating bat populations along the way. “Luckily, white-nose syndrome is not yet in B.C.” Kellner said. “But we are preparing for its arrival by raising awareness about bats, working with landowners who have bats in buildings, enhancing bat habitat and monitoring populations.” Monitoring for WNS will continue this winter, with the BC Community Bat Program asking for reports of dead bats or sightings of winter bat activity, beginning on Nov. 1. You can report sightings online at bcbats.ca, via email at thompson@bcbats.ca or by calling 1-855-922-2287 (extension 21). In partnership with the Ministry of Environment and the Kamloops Naturalists Club, and funded by the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and the Habitat Stewardship Program, the BC Community Bat Program provides information about bats in buildings, conducts site visits to advise landowners on managing bats in buildings, co-ordinates the annual bat count and offers educational programs on bats.

CRIMES OF THE WEEK SHOTS

COMMUNITY

Thief caught on camera using stolen credit cards On Sept. 29, a wallet was stolen from a vehicle in the Kamloops area. The next day, credit cards from the wallet were used at numerous stores in the local region. The suspect using the cards is a white female in her mid-20s. She has blond worn hair in a bun and was wearing a zip-up black hoodie. After making purchases with the stolen credit cards, she left as a passenger in a black, four-door Ford F350 pickup truck. If you recognize the woman, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Burglars loaded up suitcase with ill-gotten goods

On Saturday, Oct. 20, two males entered an apartment building in downtown Kamloops. Once they gained access to an apartment unit, they stole jewellery, identity documents and a computer. The culprits also stole two blue suitcases in which to carry the stolen items. One male was wearing a backpack and a winter jacket with a hood. He was also wearing a hoodie underneath the jacket and had that hood pulled up over his head. The other male was wearing a blue jacket with the hood up. The picture is not the best quality, but if you know who these two are, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your efforts may be rewarded.

Fake bill at Real Canadian Superstore On Saturday, Oct. 20, a male entered the Real Canadian Superstore. Once inside the store, he did some shopping and proceeded to the checkout. He then used a counterfeit $100 bill to purchase the items. The suspect is white and has short, dark hair and a stocky build. He was wearing an Under Armour red hoody, light-coloured sweatpants and dark sneakers. If you happen to know his name, submit a tip to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Remember, we just want your information, not your name.

www.kamloopsCrimeStoppers.ca If you know where any of these people are, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). The tip line pays up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest of fugitives. Remember, Crime Stoppers just wants your information, not your name. Crime doesn’t pay, but Crime Stoppers does.

e’s dressed from head to toe in raven black and melds seamlessly into the pitch black night. In one hand, an umbrella that doubles as a cane. In the other, a flashlight waiting to come to life. Timing is everything — and when the nearby bell of St. Andrews begins to toll, he steps into action. “It’s the bell from Gabrielle, who sends your soul to heaven or hell …” The cue has been perfectly timed with our guide’s performance and, following the lyric, he sheds light on another spooky tale. For 16 years, Shaughan has led the way on Original London Walks. During our jaunt, we are captivated by his haunting vignettes. The slapstick is creatively infused with song and presents more like a Shakespearean play than ghost hunt. While weaving around London’s dimly lit alleys, we hear stories of ruthless Royals, cruel slayings and returning spirits. Men who were boiled alive in 1305 have come back to deal with their executioners. Chained prisoners who were gruesomely disemboweled have been heard clanking over rooftops. There’s been weird whistling in bell towers, mysterious cries within walls and phantom galloping over cobblestones. Throw in a few bodiless heads and headless bodies and you have one haunting heyday. But in spite of historical reports, it’s all in good fun — we will snooze well beneath London’s full moon tonight. Although we have our fill of spooks after this stroll, two evenings later, we’re lured like werewolves to the Richmond district,

where more eeriness awaits. Ham House is the perfect place for spectres. The isolated Stuart mansion hugs up to the River Thames. As nighttime falls, its Tudor silhouette takes on an ominous glow. John Mills — our burly guide — turns out to be another ghoul guru. We gather in the Grand Hall, once a party place for the royally rich, where he recounts a Coles notes version of its history.

“The house was built in 1610 for Sir Thomas Vavasour,” Mills explains, “then was gifted to his best friend William Murray, a.k.a. Earl of Dysart.” Generous guy, I’m thinking. But, as we soon discover, money doesn’t always breed nice people. The Earl’s daughter — a spendthrift and an unfriendly gal — inherits the haven. She goes through a couple of husbands, makes some poor

financial choices and her entire domain goes belly up. Ham House becomes a time capsule after her death in 1698 — yet in spite of its vacancy, a few spirits continue to linger. We discover that its resident chaplain Gilbert Spink, was quite enamoured by the daunting duchess. “When the apparition of this lady returns, dressed in black, the spirit of Spink is following close

behind,” Mills shares, “and so is the resident pooch, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel.” We ogle over the canine’s skeletal remains, well-preserved under glass, and check out this glumlooking trio whose images are portrayed on canvas. Sticking close to Mill’s shadow, we mosey through the fine interiors decked out in period décor, before heading to the chilly outdoors. Just beyond the canopying arboretum is the celebrated Cherry Garden, an orangery — and yes, more ghostly sightings. After hearing about returning love-crushed servants and First World War heroes, we’ve had our fill of phantom fun — at least until the following day. Farther up the Thames is Hampton Court Palace — 25 lush hectares, a colossal citadel — it’s the whole bastion bit. Initially, the fortress was built for Henry VIII, the big-bellied king with a reputation for killing off his wives. While being led through his palatial quarters by costumed guides, we’re given the rundown of these hapless women who have made a comeback to haunt these halls. The king’s third wife, Jane Seymour, has been seen wandering the Clock Court. His fifth fair maiden, Catherine Howard, has been heard shrieking in the Haunted Gallery and his second in line, Anne Boleyn, seems to be here, there and everywhere. We discover her presence is not only felt around the halls of Hampton Court, but farther afield, at the acclaimed Tower of London — yet another popular niche for the incorporeal crowd and another London haunt where virtual history comes to life.

nce again with shorter days come the invectives about darkness and the so-called associated rule of the king of darkness in a brightly lit and enlightened society. Some 2,000 years ago, without the blessing of neon lights, the society around Jesus was pitifully similar — oppression from and subjugation to diabolical forces. When the messengers of the light of the world, Jesus, returned from a missionary trip, they reported to their master excitedly: “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” (Luke 10: 17). A teaching session about the attack and ultimate defeat of the evil one followed (Luke 10:18-20), which must have spurred the disciples on to further raids in Satan’s territory. What does it mean that the followers of Jesus have authority to tread on serpents and scorpions? The only time I’ve really handled a snake was to kick a little one, a rattler type, out of my hiking path. It wriggled off. I would be happy to never see another one again. Even if we knew Jesus didn’t really mean what he was saying about treading on serpents, we might ask: “Is Jesus saying Satan is actually real? Really? Like a real devil, with a tail and horns and a pitchfork?” We all must have met people who are obsessed with demons, who “see” them under every table. Whenever something goes wrong with our car, demons are the first suspect. Satan is mentioned 250 times in the New Testament, which is almost once per chapter. In the Luke passage, Jesus is giving his disciples very clear instructions about how to engage Satan. If we are going to take Jesus and the New Testament seriously, we have to take this passage seriously: “Who is Satan and what does he do?” This passage gives us a clue as to where he came from: “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven …” Satan was one of the highest archangels that rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven as a result, taking

one-third of the angels with him. Isaiah 14:12-14 gives us a glimpse into what happened: “O Lucifer, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground …You have said in your heart “I will set my throne on high … I will make myself like the most High.” What do we see in these verses? “I will.” That’s the heart of Satanic rebellion: “I will” instead of God’s will. Ever since the fallen angels came to earth, Satan has been trying to coerce anything and everything to join in that rebellion. We as a race have

joined him in his rebellion and now he has a certain authority over us. Jesus said Satan is here to “steal, kill and destroy.” Let’s list some of the stuff with which he has been active: • In John 8:44, Jesus called him the father of lies and 1 Timothy 4:1 says he corrupts truth and concocts false doctrines; • 2 Cor. 11:14-15 says he gives false teachers the ability to imitate signs and wonders; • 2 Cor. 2:5-11 tells us he turns unresolved anger into bitterness in hearts of God’s people; • 1 Thess. 2:18 tells us he puts obstacles in the way of people who want to share Jesus with others; • Revelation 12:10 calls him the accuser of the brethren, which means he loves to remind us when we mess up; • Romans 16:17-20 says he sows discord and division

among God’s people to rebel against their leaders; • The book of Ephesians says he ensnares unbelievers in their sin so that they get addicted to them; • Throughout the New Testament, we see him causing sickness and sometimes insanity (e.g., Job’s body). • In 2 Cor.12:9, Paul called his physical affliction “a messenger of Satan to afflict me.” Is Satan real? We better believe it. What if he was at work in our life now? In the temptations of life, some seem so perfect. What if he is the one hovering near our computers, providing us with opportunities to cheat? And now, the good news. Luke 10:19 has an amazing promise: “I have given you authority to tread on them …” What would it be like to walk on serpents and scorpions (a metaphor)? Would we do that? “Nothing shall hurt you.” That doesn’t mean Satan can’t afflict us. Paul said he had a thorn in his flesh that was a messenger of Satan. He asked God to remove it three times and God said no. “Nothing can hurt you” means nothing Satan does can stop the forward progress of what God is doing in a believer’s life. He has been given authority to overrule all that Satan intended for evil for his good. Well, how do the believers exercise that authority? How should we engage against the demonic? There’s really one passage in which the Bible outlines for us what spiritual warfare is like (Ephesians 6). In this passage, Paul lists out the weapons of our warfare. To summarize this passage, it boils down to simply “faith in the gospel covered by the gospel.” Let us saturate ourselves in the gospel. When we are covered by the gospel, Satan can’t touch us. Get grounded in Jesus and victory follows. ryanmitra225@gmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

Chad, hope your family excursion to Denmark is going well. Some news: The Canada West kills leader, arguably your best player, will be unavailable next season. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

RU WolfPack women’s volleyball head coach Chad Grimm was vacationing in Europe when he found out Yevgeniya (Jane) Nyukhalova, a 6-foot-4 outside hitter from Ukraine, will be a red shirt in 2018-2019. Some things are more important than volleyball, one of them being giving the gift of life. Nyukhalova is pregnant and will be sidelined this season. Grimm, while surely happy for Nyukhalova, can be excused if he cursed his luck for at least a few fleeting moments. It was not the only summer news that adversely affected his volleyball team. One of Canada West’s best servers, outside hitter Mikayla Funk, was ruled academically ineligible to play this season. “With the graduation of Rachel [Windhorst] and Mikalya and Jane not returning, that was probably 85 per cent of our offence last year,” Grimm said. Ouch. The WolfPack, 7-17 in 2017-2018, had potential to flip that record this season. Nyukhalova had 352 kills, tied for tops in the conference, and 30 service aces. Funk racked up 43 service aces and 160 kills. Together, they combined for 618 of the Pack’s 1,468 points. Expectations have changed. “There is definitely going to be a lot of battles that we’re going to have to face,” said fourth-year outside hitter Kendra Finch, the longest-tenured player on the team. “We’re going to have to find our identity. That’s also what’s going to help make us stronger.” Helping to fill the points void is

ALLEN DOUGLAS PHOTOS/KTW TRU WolfPack women’s volleyball head coach Chad Grimm will floor more first-year players than planned in 2018-2019, as he will be without key veterans Yevgeniya (Jane) Nyukhalova and Mikayla Funk. Anastasiya Muzyka (right) is aiming to build on a fantastic rookie season.

6-foot-3 outside hitter Olga Savenchuk, a 30-year-old Canada West rookie from Ukraine who has about 15 years of professional volleyball experience. She is still sizing up her role, 10 years older than most of her teammates, settling into a new country and treading lightly with leadership duties. “They have different, probably, style of life,” said Savenchuk, who most recently played pro in Israel, Poland and France. “They are Canadian. I am not. Of course, I feel they are a different generation. Coach have power. I can suggest something, but I have no right to shout. “We have so many rookies this season, but it gives us a sense of hope that we can increase our level because they are young. They have huge potential, but it also means they need time.” Savenchuk expects the Pack to find their stride some time in the middle of the season. Anastasiya Muzyka, a second-year WolfPack setter from Ukraine who was

named to the conference’s 2017-2018 all-rookie team, is confident TRU will see post-season action this winter. “For sure,” Muzyka said. “We want to make playoffs this year. We will do our best to get to that point. We’re not giving up. We are moving forward. This season will be better than [the] previous [season].” The Calgary Dinos, the No. 1 ranked U Sports team, made short work of the Pack last weekend in Cow Town, winning every game in a two-match sweep. TRU (0-2) will be in tough against the nation’s 10th-ranked squad, the UBC Thunderbirds, in a pair of tilts at the Tournament Capital Centre this weekend. First serve is slated for 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. “We can’t look for results early,” Grimm said, with a tough road trip to Regina next on the schedule. “We still need to keep the big picture in mind and we need to make sure we develop this year. Where that lands us, we’ll find out.”

Pat Hennelly sees a two-year window, a team built to win now. The consequences of missing the boat are obvious in the short term for the TRU WolfPack men’s volleyball team — coaches and players who endured hard times, lessons from losing that led to being a nationally ranked team, will be robbed of winning moments. Failing to reach potential over the next two seasons can also have harsh long-term impacts on the program. Team success in 2013-2014 (TRU reached fourth in national rankings and earned a Canada West Final Four berth) was accompanied by individual accolades. Brad Gunter was named U Sports men’s volleyball player of the year and Colin Carson won the national Dale Iwanozko Student-Athlete Award. The WolfPack followed with a 13-11 mark and another trip to the playoffs in 20142015. Hennelly had cards to work with and used them to woo rock-solid recruits such as Charlie Bringloe, Sam Taylor Parks, Kyle Behiels and Joshua Mullaney. Those are the fourth-year players who have helped the WolfPack recover from the disaster that was 2016-2017, when the Pack were walloped, shellacked and trounced to the tune of 2-22 while Hennelly was on sabbatical. Now it’s time for

them to win and help perpetuate program success. “This moment has been created through a lot of the hardship we just talked about,” Hennelly said. “There is going be a gap in experience after these next two years. For all small schools, it’s hard to remain competitive year in and year out. We’re in an up-cycle right now. “The better we do, the better the chance of getting better recruits. Kids nowadays, maybe it’s the Golden State [Warriors] effect, but they want to play for a winner.” The WolfPack snuck into the playoffs last season with a record of 11-13. The roster for 2018-2019 is loaded with key fourth- and fifth-year players, including graduating outside hitter Tim Dobbert, who led the conference in kills-perset (4.13) last season. Odds of a deep

playoff run were dealt a blow, though, when Mullaney, a 6-foot-7 outside hitter from Calgary, ruptured a tendon in his leg in the summer. He will not play this season. TRU lost another key piece when Tim Edge suffered a concussion. There is no timetable for his return. Despite their absence, TRU managed a split to open the regular season, winning one of two matches against the hometown Calgary Dinos last weekend. The results were good enough for them to slide into eighth place in the most recent U Sports rankings. Calgary is ranked 10th. “We faced a lot of adversity that year [2016-2017],” said Bringloe, an outside hitter from Waterloo. “We’ve come a long way.” The UBC Thunderbirds (0-2) provide the next early-season test for Hennelly and his charges, who want to make the Tournament Capital Centre a fortress. Match time is 6:45 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at the TCC. “I just want our guys to know what it’s like to have a seat at the table,” Hennelly said. “The seat at the table is to be a top

team in the country and for other teams to have that anticipation of, oh man, we’ve got to play the WolfPack this weekend. “Even with our crowd, the expectation should be we came here to watch a win, not we’re coming here to see what will happen.” PACK AT NATIONALS The TRU WolfPack baseball team is competing for a Canadian title at the inaugural National College Baseball Championship, which began on Thursday and wraps up on Saturday in Toronto. “I have been approached the last five years about having a team from the west come out there,” WolfPack head coach Ray Chadwick told TRU sports information. “This year, one of our alum, Duaine Bowles, is on the organizing committee and asked us to come out. I talked to the guys and we were in.” The host Humber Hawks, St. Clair Saints of Windsor, Fanshawe Falcons of London, Holland Hurricanes of Charlottetown and Ahuntsic Indians of Montreal round out the field. TRU posted a 16-7 record in its fall campaign.

B.C. Tour-leading Brown takes aim at Crown MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Corryn Brown and her Kamloops Curling Club rink are aiming to continue their strong season this weekend on home ice. Skip Brown, third Erin Pincott, second Dezaray Hawes and lead Ashley Klymchuk are atop the B.C. Women’s Curling Tour rankings heading into the Hub International Kamloops Crown of Curling, which will run from Friday to Sunday at the KCC. “We’ve had a successful season so far, one of the better seasons we’ve had,” Brown said. “The team is gelling really well and making a lot of shots.” The 10 women’s rinks competing will be vying for a chunk of the $10,000 purse, with $4,000 allotted for the first-place team. Kamloops skips Tyler Klymchuk and Grant Olsen will

lead two of the 16 rinks entered on the men’s side. The men’s purse is $16,000, which includes $5,000 for the champion. Kamloops product Jim Cotter will skip his Vernon/Kelowna rink at the Crown. There are three automatic qualifying berths available for the 2019 B.C. Scotties, the wom-

en’s provincial championship that will run from Jan. 29 to Feb. 3 in Quesnel — one for the B.C. rink with the most CTRS points and two for the top-two finishers on the provincial circuit. Brown is inching closer to claiming an automatic qualifying berth at provincials and recent results have the KCC women

climbing the World Curling Tour rankings, sitting 36th overall. The Kamloops quartet began the season with a win at the King Cash Spiel in Maple Ridge, opening its account with a $4,000 payday. Un-Chi Gim of South Korea downed Brown in the quarterfinal round of the Prestige Hotels and Resorts Curling Classic, which took place last month in Vernon, but the Kamloops squad still walked away with $3,250. Brown failed to qualify for the playoffs at the Curlers Corner Autumn Gold Curling Classic earlier this month in Calgary and was skunked financially. Sarah Wark knocked off Brown 8-3 in the championship game at the Driving Force Abbotsford Cashspiel, which wrapped up on Oct. 14. The silver medal was accompanied by $3,600. There is one provincial women’s tour stop remaining after

Kamloops, the Raymond James Kelowna Double Cash, which will run from Nov. 2 to Nov. 4. Brown also plans to compete at the Red Deer Curling Classic, which gets underway on Nov. 16. Klymchuk is third in B.C. Men’s Curling Tour rankings and 103rd in World Curling Tour men’s rankings. The top two finishers on the provincial tour will qualify automatically for the B.C. championship, which will also be held in Quesnel from Jan. 29 to Feb. 3. The highlight of Klymchuk’s campaign so far was a semifinal exit and $2,500 haul at the Prestige event in Vernon. Klymchuk will begin its tournament this weekend against Adam Cseke of Penticton, a draw that begins at 8 a.m. on Friday. Olsen and Cotter will square off at the same time. Brown’s first draw is against Brette Richards of Kelowna on Friday. Game time is noon.

SPORTS Hockey player delegates build relationship with Kamloops’ sister city in Japan Wearing Kamloops Chiefs jerseys, a group of 24 travellers helped foster a relationship with the Tournament Capital’s sister city, Uji, Japan, and participated at the International Friendship Hockey Tournament. “I am not sure if it is jet lag or just happy feelings that I am compelled to rise from my bed to put some thoughts to paper,” said David Hoar, who emailed KTW with tales from the trip. “Many of us connected in some way, whether in our conversations, photos shared, hockey talk and contact info exchanged for another time.” The trip to Japan ran from Sept. 23 to Oct. 11. The Kamloops group spent 30 minutes with the mayor of Uji. Hoar and his wife have been involved in a homestay program that exists between the two cities. They hosted two of 12 junior high students who came to Kamloops from Uji in August. He was able to reconnect with one of them. “I could tell that all who donned the Kamloops Chiefs jerseys enjoyed the informal connections made with the other teams at our after parties, with stories, jokes and laughter,” Hoar said. “The contrast from what I thought was a more formal culture to the fun-loving spirit of the players was, for me, eye opening.”

STORM EMERGING FROM HURRICANE Therann Kincross of Victoria leads the Kamloops Storm in scoring with 12 points, including seven goals, in 14 games. The 19-year-old forward had 23 points in 46 games last season.

On the ice and off, the Kamloops Storm were a wreck to start the 20182019 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League campaign. Ownership issues, fines and suspensions for tampering and unwanted drama overshadowed what was happening on the ice — and that might have been a good thing. The junior B squad crawled out to an 0-8 start. Storm clouds are dissipating and skies are clearing. Coach Jassi Sangha can see the light. “It was definitely a rough start, but once we got two or three full weeks of practice in, our kids really responded well and I think it shows,” Sangha said.

Kamloops (4-10) is 3-1 in its last four games, having knocked off North Okanagan 6-3, Grand Forks 5-1 and Chase 5-3. The loss was ugly,

a 12-2 defeat at the hands of Summerland at Memorial Arena on Oct. 13. “At the start of the season, and I know we didn’t have

the best start, but we kept telling our kids our season isn’t based on what we do in September or October,” Sangha said. “I gave them a

deadline of Dec. 1. Let’s see where we are. That’s the team we are going to be heading into playoffs.” The Storm are scheduled to play the Ghostriders (7-4-0-2) in Fernie on Friday and the Thunder Cats (5-8-0-1) in Creston on Saturday. Kamloops will next play at home on Saturday, Nov. 3, when Castlegar (3-9-0-1) comes to town. Game time is 7 p.m. at Memorial. “The first couple months were kind of rough, but it seems like we’ve turned a corner here and now we’re looking to come into the second half of the season with some momentum,” Sangha said.

Westsyde football team to get acid test in Vernon MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Vernon Panthers are the class of the AA Interior Varsity Conference, but they may have company in the Westsyde Blue Wave. Westsyde (2-0) can prove that is the case when it travels to Vernon to play the Panthers (2-0) in B.C. Secondary Schools Football Association play on Friday. Game time is 5 p.m. at Greater Vernon Athletic Park. The Blue Wave cruised to a 39-14 victory over Salmon Arm in exhibition play on the weekend, riding a 222-yard rushing performance from Darlington Murasiranwa, who

scored two touchdowns. Brennan Ettinger racked up 62 yards on the ground and four tackles on defence and Ryan Jenaway had 31 yards rushing and one touchdown. Quarterback Derek Wrabel threw two touchdown passes. Cameron Treadwell compiled 87 yards receiving and one touchdown. Adam Buholzer also caught a touchdown pass. “We started to gain an identity Friday night running the football, playing solid defence and solid special teams,” Blue Wave head coach Cory Bymoen said. Meanwhile, the Panthers earned a 38-0 win over the South Kamloops Titans (0-2) at Hillside Stadium last Friday. “Vernon’s execution tonight was exceptional,” Titans’ head

coach J.P. Lancaster said. “I thought we had put together a solid game plan to slow them down on offence, but we weren’t able to elevate to their level of play. Credit to our boys for playing hard in the second half and limiting them to just three points.” Conference standings: Vernon (2-0), Westsyde (2-0), Clarence Fulton (2-1), South Kam (0-2) and Valleyview (0-3). The top two teams qualify for the provincial playoffs. Valleyview and South Kamloops will square off at Hillside this Friday. Game time is 5 p.m. Westsyde can clinch a postseason berth with a victory over Vernon or a Valleyview win over South Kam.

to encourage others as well. He was a softball coach and hockey coach for many teams over the years. He especially loved snow skiing at Tod Mountain (Sun Peaks), water skiing at Shuswap lake, golfing - often walking 36 holes in a day curling, bowling and softball. He was proud of making it to the senior softball World Series in Arizona in 1990. When he took time to relax, Joe would enjoy fishing and camping with his best buddy “Henry” his very small dog with a huge personality. Most of all, Joe enjoyed being with all of his friends and acquaintances whether it was early morning coffee, going for breakfast or happy hour at the local watering hole which he looked forward to every day. A private Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.

He will be missed.

Joe was born in Duck Lake, Saskatchewan and grew up on a small farm where he and his cousins would play and hunt. He rode to school on horseback until he was old enough to work. At that time he moved to Churchill, Manitoba to work for a while. Later he moved west to Edmonton and then Vancouver. It was in Vancouver where he took up boxing to earn money. Eventually, he made his way to Kamloops to reunite with his mother. It was there he met and married Alice; they had four children together. For over 40 years Joe happily drove truck for Van-Kam Freightways. Even though he drove for a living, he always took his family on vacations where he would again drive for miles. Most trips included a stop at one of the many dams within Western Canada or the USA before anyone could visit family, friends or get to any event such as the 74 Worlds Fair in Spokane, Calgary Stampede, Disneyland, and San Franciscowhere he thought it was alright to drive the family van and tent trailer down Lombard street.

Susana of Kamloops, BC, passed away peacefully in the afternoon of October 1, 2018 at Kamloops Hospice with her family by her side at the age of 36 years. Susana was born on April 14, 1982 in Queretaro, Mexico. Her family, originally from El Salvador, migrated to Canada in 1983 where she officially became a Canadian citizen in 1987 and spent the majority of her life in Kamloops, BC. Susana is survived by her partner Cody Shmoorkoff, her children Royce and Arely, her parents Nelson and Maria Marin, her siblings Nelson Jr. and Brenda and many other family members and friends in both Canada and El Salvador who will miss her tremendously. Susana was best known for her sense of humour and personality, her eclectic taste in music and movies, her dedication to those around her, her artistic ability, and her talent for photography. Susana had a sense of adventure and never missed an opportunity to travel; whether it was a road trip within Canada or the US, or international travel to countries including Belize, Egypt and the Netherlands. Her greatest joy, however, was being a parent. We would like to thank family, friends, and the community for their never-ending support during Susana’s journey. A celebration of life will be planned for the spring or summer of 2019. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

(Leona Elizabeth, née Twerdun) December 25, 1941- October 20, 2018

The family of Lee Reinson is saddened by her sudden passing at home in the early morning hours of Saturday, October 20, 2018. Lee is survived by her husband Bob Reinson, sisters Drina and Marilyn, Bob’s family, nieces and nephews. Preceding her in death are her parents Leo and Minnie Twerdun and her brother Larry.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dallas Jone Teale. He was taken from us far too soon. Dallas was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on December 5, 1991 and passed away in Kamloops on October 16, 2018. Left to mourn is the love of his life Bronte Sawada, his loving parents Jeff (Trista) Teale and Sandi (Keith) Lautrup, grandparents Dennis and Dorothy Teale, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

In Loving Memory of Fred Reid April 15, 1955 October 23, 2002

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW

Dallas spent most of his childhood in Vernon, BC and graduated from Kalamalka Secondary in 2009. Fond memories of time with Dallas include, he and his friends going to a national youth conference in Ottawa and a very special family trip to Disneyland in 2008. His love of the outdoors and sports had him participating in hiking, camping, golfing, snowboarding, soccer, football, lacrosse, volleyball and hockey. Dallas loved music and spent hours teaching himself to play the piano. In his early high school years Dallas’s journey as an entrepreneur began by selling pop and chips out of his locker to his classmates. His next step was selling magazines door to door where he soon discovered that he was a natural salesman. His “Need for Speed” got him building and selling motorized pedal bikes. Dallas’s passion for technology lead him to start his first business Doc Mac which later lead to his Repair Express endeavour. First starting in Vernon and spreading to Penticton and the start up in Kamloops. Over the past few years Dallas was greatly supported by the love of his life Bronte and more recently his puppy Ben. He will forever be remembered for his willingness to help others and his love of family and friends. A Celebration of Dallas’s Life will be held in Kamloops at Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, on Monday, October 29, 2018 at 12:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Dallas to The Thumbs Up Foundation (www.thethumbsupfoundation.com). Dallas, you will always be remembered for your infectious smile. May you have found your peace.

Joanna Lynn Sanderson (née Moen) November 5, 1971 to October 20, 2018

Joanna passed away early in the morning of October 20, 2018 in hospice care with her beloved husband Mike at her side. She is survived by Mike and her children Abigail and Ryan, her parents Butch Moen and Pat Day and their spouses Jackie Dorgan and Jim Day, Mike’s parents David and Louanne Sanderson, her sister Erin Fennell (Nathan, Claire and Olivia) and Mike’s brother Dean Sanderson (daughters Isabella and Clara). She was loved deeply by her aunts and uncles, surviving grandparents and cousins. Joanna was predeceased by her grandmother Marjorie and aunt Linda. Joanna lived with brain cancer for 15 years and touched many people throughout her life. It is an understatement to say that she lived each day of her life with optimism and grace. She was an elementary school teacher in Lillooet and she and Mike and their babies were embraced by that community following her diagnosis. Mike’s work took them to Prince George where they again established deep friendships. Joanna and Mike returned home to Kamloops for Abby and Ryan to start kindergarten and Dufferin has been their home ever since. Abby and Ryan were her pride and joy. Joanna’s network of lifelong friends, neighbours and

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Thelma Frances Reid Munroe May 30, 1932 – October 14, 2018

We are saddened to announce the sudden passing of Thelma on October 14, 2018. She leaves behind a legacy of thoughtfulness and boundless love of her family. She will be sorely missed by her family, her two daughters Peigi Stewart of Kamloops and Lisa Morin (Jesus) of Mazatlán, Mexico, her brother Bob Reid (Marnie) of Vernon and her brother-in-law Tony DeAngelis of Kamloops. Also, her grandsons James Day of Surrey, Shawn Day (Reagan) of Kamloops, Craig Day of Kamloops and Adam Munroe (Jenna) of Kamloops. She had eight great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Thelma loved to watch her great-grandchildren grow and develop. She was proud of her family’s accomplishments. Thelma loved to travel and has spent recent winters in Mazatlán with her daughter. She readily made friends and her love of the game of bridge opened new friendships wherever she played. She was very intelligent and had an amazing memory. She was an aggressive Life Master Duplicate Bridge player often topping the duplicate bridge competitions. She loved to teach new bridge players. Many players wanted her as their partner. She gave the most thoughtful and memorable gifts. Nephews tried to find gifts for others ‘like one that Thelma would give’. Thelma could not say a negative word about anyone. If there was reason to make a comment it was more of a look and a shake of the head but never a bad word. As a teacher, she won a provincial teaching award. She cared deeply for her students and they came to her often for personal advice. Her passion for teaching embodied her life, helping others. Thelma was a proud Canadian. She was the Queen of Hearts and trumped all Aces. In memoriam donations may be made to Hospice House where Thelma volunteered. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 27, 2018 at Frick & Frack from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm.

Madhu Brierton passed away peacefully on the morning of October 17, 2018 at the age of 89 at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC. He was predeceased by his wife Patience Brierton, his younger brothers Sushil Brierton, Praveen Brierton, Vijay Brierton and younger sister Praphulata Singh. The loss of Madhu’s passing will be deeply felt by his brother Suresh Brierton (Muriel) and sister Esther Burgess (Philip), sister-in-law Marjorie Brierton and family, sister-in-law Persis Massey and family and numerous nieces and nephews in Canada and India. Madhu and his wife Patience came to Canada in 1967. They had a strong network of close family and friends.

They also supported numerous nieces and nephews from India in their education/career advancement, enabling them to become successfully independent. A Graveside Service will be held at 10:30 am on Saturday, October 27, 2018 at Hillside Cemetery, 750 Notre Dame.

Dr. GR Farnsworth

January 24, 1928 – October 6, 2018 The family of Gerald Ross Farnsworth is deeply saddened by his passing on October 6, 2018 at the age of 90. He was surrounded by the family that was so important to him. Gerry was born January 24, 1928 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan the youngest of four children. He is predeceased by his wife Penny, his eldest daughter Karen and son-in-law Wayne, along with his brother Earl. The loss of this kind and generous man will be deeply felt by his family; sons Cameron (Marie), Tim (Debra), Todd (Janet) and his daughter Tana, his grandchildren Colin (Crystal), Becky (Kirby), Matthew (Cassie), Taylor (Alexis), Adam, Braydon, Hunter, Mikaela, Easton and great-grandchildren Kaiden, Hannah and Emmett. He also left behind a doting sister Marjorie and a best friend in his brother Roy, along with many nieces and nephews, each of whom had their own special relationship with Gerry. Following Penny’s death, Gerry met and enjoyed life with new companion Neta, which brought a new family to bond with, especially Kaye. After graduating from chiropractic college in Toronto and naturopathic college in Chicago, Gerry moved to Kamloops in 1950 to begin practice. It is where he brought his new wife Penny and started their family. He provided a wonderful home and life to his five children, while at the same time dedicating his life to the development of this now well known field of naturopathic medicine, going so far as to mortgage the family home at a critical time to support a key fledgling college during the 1950s. Gerry is recognized by Universities and Colleges in both Canada and the United States as a founding father of the profession. He maintained his practice in Kamloops for 61 years, having thousands of patients in his care over those years. His son Todd continues that legacy.

Flying, a passion that became a close second to his interest in his profession, was a key, fun part of his life that took him all over North America throughout the early sixties until his final pilot-in-command flight in 2005. Flying and doctoring were his true passions that gave him much satisfaction in life. Gerry had many other interests that included fishing, hunting and the outdoors, his mule Chrissy, many “grand dogs”, travelling in his RV (he loved to find new roads and then revisit them), which he blended well with his dedication to his family and friends. And he had many, many friends, as well, far and wide. In his last 10 years or so, he slowed down a little, to putter around his home, check on his children, spend his evenings with Neta, continue his travels and enjoy retirement. His commitment to service and helping his fellow man through his 60 years as a Royal Arch Mason in Kamloops Shrine added to a life well lived, that is an example for all that have known him. He is missed by many. Rest In Peace, Dad. A Celebration of his Life will be held at 3:00 pm, on Saturday, November 3, 2018 in the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way, Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Dr. Gerald Farnsworth to the National University of Natural Medicine.

She travelled to many countries throughout the world and in her 70’s started spending the winters in Hanoi with her Vietnamese “family”. With failing health she moved to The Shores in Kamloops, with a final move to Ridgeview Lodge in August 2018.

Contenders, still

Valdy on why he’s been on the road for 46 years SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

n 1981, Paul Valdemar Horsdal was in the midst of restoring a 1961 Nash Metropolitan at his home on Salt Spring Island. He redid the upholstery and brakes and fixed the car up as much as he could, but at some point he ran out of steam. Though he gave up on the little American car, Valdy, as he is known, has never done the same for his career in music — which is nearly as old as the classic automobile he once tried to restore. Valdy still lives on Salt Spring Island, but has since traded his red and white convertible for a more practical Subaru Forester. For the past 17 years, Valdy has played with Gary Fjellgaard, who he met in the 1970s while playing gigs and festivals in B.C. “We became friends at that point and did a couple of festivals — not as a duo, but on the same bill,” Valdy said. In 1999, the two found each other on the road once again and played together in southwestern Alberta, putting out the first Contenders album that same year. “It went so well we decided we’d go on the road and tour together,” Valdy said. Two years later, the duo began touring under the Contenders name, which comes from a song Fjellgaard wrote when he antici-

pated the two would be playing together. “He thought, we’re still contenders because we’re still in the game — and even though there’s a lot of people waiting to take the mics from us, we’re not quite ready yet,” Valdy said. This is now the 17th year on the road for the duo. They started in the Okanagan and have been making the B.C. Interior an annual stop ever since. Valdy’s success as a solo artist peaked throughout the 1970s, but he’s been working hard ever since with a total of 18 albums bearing his name. Although he saw so much success on his own, Valdy said he enjoys sharing the stage with a musician like Fjellgaard. “First of all, he makes me play better,” he told KTW. “I get to pull my socks up, play a little extra guitar, play a bass once in awhile and I get to sing a lot of harmony, which is valuable to me as an artist to keep developing that way.” Contenders play a western, roots and folk style of music that champions the “vanishing values and frontier spirit” of the genre. “That was Gary’s line,” Valdy said. “Basically, he loves the older style of country music, with yodelling and not necessarily pickup trucks. He’s a traditionalist and a really good songwriter. I’d put him up there with Ian Tyson.” As far as genre goes with Valdy, he said he plays modern folk.

“I don’t go back to the pioneer songs. I’m not a Phil Thomas, who went around the province and collected songs from the millwrights and shipwrights and whatnot,” he said. Valdy, 73, has a long history in playing folk music for Canadians. In a 1981 documentary produced by CBC, Valdy said at that point in his career he wanted a “continuation of health and happiness,” and didn’t know if, 10 years from then, he would still be playing guitar or touring — but he did know he’d still be playing music. The end of his touring life never came and he never put down the guitar, either. The reason, he thinks, is because he’s addicted. “I love working a room and creating a situation where the magic can creep in,” he said. “It’s lovely to be on stage and be able to help that happen.” Along with that feeling, it’s the relationships that keep him going from place to place. “I have family across the country — arms-length family, but people I know very well and have known for more than 40 years. Touring puts me in touch with them,” he said. It’s not just Fjellgaard who will be accompanying Valdy on stage at an upcoming show in Kamloops on Friday, Nov. 2. On the tour this year, another duo will be joining the show. Folk, roots and country players Blu and

CONTENTat Valentine’sSPONSORED Weekend

I have been hearing from many people who say their first dates are sometimes like job interviews. Through no fault of anyone, it seems some people end up getting into the habit of asking the same types of questions that focus on areas we should avoid on the first date. A fun, unique, playful idea for a first meet-up is to agree to ask only icebreaker questions. I ran a contest on my Facebook page asking for ideas for great first-date questions and there were many great suggestions. I am going to provide some here. The next time you go on a first date, try these questions instead. They could lead to some fun conversations. Let me know how it goes. What’s one thing on your bucket list? If you could time travel, where would you go? Coke or Pepsi? What is the first concert you attended? What character would you play in your favourite TV show?

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones deserved online bans

his past summer was a series of disappointment and failures for alt-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. In early October, PayPal became the latest internet service to ban Alex Jones and his controversial website Infowars from using its platform. Over the summer, Facebook was the first to ban Alex Jones. Apple followed, banning his podcasts from the iTunes platform, and then YouTube. In September, Twitter permanently banned Jones and his Infowars channel from its social media services, including Periscope, its live streaming app. While Jones' followers and Jones himself have decried these decisions as censorship against an unpopular voice, Facebook laid it out on its decision to act: Jones was spreading hate. Facebook released a statement that said that Jones was “glorifying violence, which violates our graphic violence policy, and using dehumanizing language to describe people who are transgender, Muslims and immigrants, which violates our hate speech policies.” Apple added: “Apple does not

tolerate hate speech, and we have clear guidelines that creators and developers must follow to ensure we provide a safe environment for all of our users.” Jones has long insisted that the tragic Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012 never happened and that those involved were “crisis actors,” paid actors who acted the scene out for the anti-gun agenda. As a result, Jones' followers have harassed relatives of shooting victims with death threats, phone calls and protests. Jones has also called for violence against Robert Mueller, the special investigator looking into the Russian collusion charges in

the U.S., and has called Hillary Clinton a literal “demon.” He's also spread disinformation and conspiracy theories for the 20 years he's been running his website. Facebook has recently taken other steps in an attempt to ensure information posted is factual, using algorithms and factcheckers to double check material. Twitter, Apple and Youtube have also moved to remove hate speech from their platforms. Governments have also put pressure on platforms like Facebook to clean up its factchecking. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned Facebook to fix its “fake news” problem or face sanctioning. Finding facts in the age of social media is a struggle, and removing hate speech from the internet is another ongoing problem. Banning habitual conspiracy theorists and hatemongers like Alex Jones is a step in the right direction. Steve Marlow is the program co-ordinator at CFBX, an independent radio station in Kamloops.

The Hockey Song gets immortalized CANADIAN PRESS

CONDUCTING A FRIGHT

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Kamloops Symphony Orchestra hosted SD73 students for its recent event, Are You Afraid of Classical Music. Conductor Dina Gilbert is seen here directing a spiderweb-strewn orchestra as kids look on.

TORONTO — Stompin’ Tom’s iconic sports anthem The Hockey Song is being immortalized in the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. The catchy ditty celebrating “the good ol’ hockey game” will be honoured on Saturday as the Toronto Maple Leafs play the Winnipeg Jets at the Scotiabank Arena. During the ceremony, the late singer’s son Tom Connors Jr. will be presented with a hall of fame plaque, while country singer Tim Hicks will perform the song. The induction marks the latest achievement for a novelty track which spent decades as a cult favourite before it graduated into the Canadian pop culture canon. Released in 1973, The Hockey Song was a favourite among the Saint John, N.B., singer’s

fans during a period of unmatched success for Connors. At the time, he was on a streak that saw him winning the male country singer Juno Award for five years straight, from 1971 to 1975, propelled by hits like Bud the Spud and Sudbury Saturday Night. But it wasn’t until the Ottawa Senators began playing The Hockey Song in the early 1990s that it caught the attention of Leafs coach Pat Burns. He called for the song to be played at his team’s games as well. The Hockey Song quickly spread to other professional hockey rinks across the country where fans enthusiastically sang the chorus from the stands. After Connors’ died in 2013, the single shot up the charts, eventually peaking at No. 29 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100.
