GREYHOUND’S LAST BARK
Wednesday marks the final day of venerable bus company’s operations in Kamloops and Western Canada JESSICA WALLACE

ALL ABOARD!
Ebus, a successor to Greyhound, will begin service on Wednesday, using Sahali Mall as the departure/arrival location STORY/PAGE A12
len Desjardine’s old office at the Greyhound terminal in Kamloops offers a glimpse into the bus depot. It’s a place where family and friends exchange hellos and goodbyes, travellers listen to music while waiting for connections and people on the other end of a one-sided window put on lipstick or tuck in a shirt. “I’ve seen a lot of things through that window,” Desjardine, Greyhound’s operations manager, said with a laugh. “Some I didn’t want to see.” Since 1991, Desjardine has worked for Greyhound, which will close for good in Western Canada on Wednesday. In the days leading to the closure, he has been sharing
that window view with boss and city manager Grant Odsen, who is in charge of Prince George, Kamloops and Kelowna. Odsen cleaned out his own office after 33 years with Greyhound and will remain unemployed or “semi-retired” until determining his next steps. He expects, however, to have Christmas off this year — an opportunity never previously possible due to an influx of holiday travellers. “I haven’t had Christmas off in, uh, 34 years,” Odsen said. KTW visited the depot at Notre Dame Drive and Laval Crescent on Monday to speak with staff and passengers, discuss the impending absence of a venerable institution and elicit memories about a rite of passage in Canada — taking the Greyhound bus. Greyhound is steeped in Kamloops, Desjardine explained. Due to the city’s geographi-
cal significance — where five highways connect and situated between Vancouver and major Albertan cities — 13 operations supervisors historically ran Western Canada out of the Kamloops depot. At one time, it was the only 24-hour a day Greyhound operation. That changed six years ago, when Greyhound’s head office moved from Calgary to Burlington, Ont., due to technology that made it easier to manage operations from farther away. One year before that, Greyhound sold and leased the Kamloops bus depot. To date, the fate of the property remains unclear. “The owner of the property, they have I guess a couple of different options to develop it,” Odsen said. “They haven’t landed on one at this time.” See AT GREYHOUND, A4

Before the Coquihalla Highway was built in the 1980s, Kamloops residents travelled the most popular route to date — Kamloops to Vancouver — via Cache Creek. Kelowna residents veered to the Lower Mainland through Penticton. Those smaller communities were Greyhound’s home bases, due to limited highway infrastructure. “You’d be hard-pressed to bang on four doors in Cache Creek and not find someone who was an exGreyhound employee,” Desjardine said. Indeed, three-decade mayor John Ranta, who was defeated in this month’s civic election, was a Greyhound driver. Passenger numbers have dwindled through the years, which is part of the reason why Greyhound is closing. It has taken losses on some routes in the province. Seven years ago, Greyhound offered 22 daily departures out of Kamloops. One month ago, it offered 14. When KTW visited on Monday, there were just 12 bus departures until the depot closed for good on Wednesday. “Onwards and upwards,” a Greyhound staffer told a traveller from behind the glass when asked about the closure. Those who have continued to hop aboard are mainly seniors and students, Desjardine said. British tourist Jacqueline Grundy, 32, has become familiar with the service while exploring Canada in recent months. “I think it’s just really interesting. I’m not really sure why it’s stopping because it’s always full,” she said. “You get to see some really interesting towns because you stop off at lots of different random places. It’s really nice to see that part of Canada.” Headed to Vancouver on Monday, Grundy revealed another connection to the

transport company. Her best friend in the U.K. met her husband aboard a Greyhound bus while vacationing with family. Mr. Right just so happened to be seated beside her. “I took a picture on the Greyhound while I was on it and I was like, ‘Bring back some memories?’” Grundy said. “All on the Greyhound.” Hazel Crebo, 86, has been taking the bus for 30 years and has come to rely on the service to avoid highway driving. “It’s always been good. I’ve never had a problem,” she said. “I’ve always got my ticket, always got to the destination and the drivers have always been so polite.” Patricia Stanyer, 91, took her place in line en route to Richmond after visiting friend Vivian Hansberry, 86, who lost her partner. “She came to give me support and do things for me because I’m blind in one eye and got 20 per cent vision in the other,” Hansberry said. Stanyer’s first trip through the U.S. 70 years ago, when she was 21, was aboard a Greyhound. To this day, she enjoys looking at scenery out of the bus window and hopping aboard elicits nostalgia. Hansberry recalled a Greyhound driver kicking a man

off the bus in Merritt after he wielded a knife. “Then there was a guy who kept drinking all the time,” she said. “Of course, you’re not supposed to drink on the bus. They kicked him off, too. Not the same bus, another bus.” Yellow Cabs driver Cory Marquardt was smoking a cigarette in the parking lot with his cab door open, waiting for his next passenger. The taxi company held a contract with Greyhound for nearly four decades and Marquardt visits the depot at least a couple of times a day to drop off or pick up people. Sometimes he parks in the lot between fares — with a cigarette or coffee from Tim Hortons — due to the depot’s central location. He said business from the depot has declined by “at least half” since he started driving cab in the mid-1980s. “I’ve seen a few people come and go,” Marquardt said. More than 400 people are expected to lose their jobs as a result of the Greyhound closure, including about 30 employees in Kamloops. Some have already have new jobs. Desjardine has been hired to manage B.C. operations for Ebus, one of the private companies approved by the province to fill the gap in Greyhound’s absence.

It appears a community flag pole recently erected at city hall for use by various groups in Kamloops was short-lived. New requests have been suspended, along with community banners on city streets, following a closed-door council decision last month to no longer process or approve “any pending or future requests for the flying of flags or banners on city property.” “We received a legal opinion from our city solicitor with respect to a decision that had been rendered by the BC Court of Appeal,” Mayor Ken Christian told KTW. The city is reviewing the legality of its policies and procedures based on the Sept. 11 BC Court of Appeal decision that ruled TransLink in the Lower Mainland erred in refusing a pro-life group to run anti-abortion bus ads. Council’s decision states the case “underscores the need for carefully drafted policies

regarding any restrictions and requirements the city wishes to impose in its efforts to protect vulnerable persons and provide safe community space that values respect for others.” It also said the case highlighted the importance of a “rigorous and transparent process for ensuring that competing rights and community objectives are respected and proportionately balanced in accordance with Charter values.” In a 6-3 vote in June, council approved updates to its flag and banner policy and erecting of a third flag pole at city hall to accommodate community requests. The new flag pole cost $4,000 and came about after Kamloops Pride requested the city fly a Pride flag during the inaugural pride parade in August of 2017. Councillors Ray Dhaliwal, Donovan Cavers, Tina Lange, Dieter Dudy, Denis Walsh and Kathy Sinclair voted in favour of creating the community flag pole, while Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Pat Wallace and Singh were opposed. Christian noted an issue last week in New
Brunswick, which led to the removal of a socalled “straight pride” flag, and concerns that arise over flags inconsistent with city values. Legally, he said, if the city flies one flag, it has to fly them all. “That’s the kind of problem you can attract, so I think out of an abundance of caution, the city solicitor has suggested we suspend the policy,” Christian said. Singh said council debated a similar matter more than a decade ago. While he said the motivations of Kamloops Pride were in the right place, challenges arise because it’s “everybody’s flag pole. “We want to be a place that’s encouraging and inclusive for everybody,” Singh said. “But there’s a whole bunch of complicated issues that present themselves.” The city will not accept new requests until after a more rigorous policy is established. A Métis flag and two others will fly as they were approved before council’s decision. After that, a B.C. flag will likely fly from the community pole for the time being.

COBALT-BLUE VEHICLE SOUGHT IN CONNECTION TO FATAL HIT AND RUN TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The suspect vehicle in a fatal hit and run in Kamloops earlier this month has changed. It is not a silver-coloured Neon. It’s a cobalt-blue sedan. Police originally said they believed a silver-coloured Dodge Neon was involved in the collision, but now say they believe the car involved is a blue sedan. A 48-year-old man was killed on Seymour Street near First Avenue at about 1:30 a.m. on Oct 20. Mounties initially released surveillance footage from a nearby business showing
a Neon driving east on Seymour at 1:31 a.m., shortly after the time when the man is believed to have been hit. An accompanying news release said investigators believed the Neon was the vehicle involved in the collision. A silver-coloured Dodge Neon was seized from a downtown home on Wednesday and its owner proclaimed his innocence to KTW, saying his car had been parked all weekend. In a news release issued on Thursday afternoon, police say they are now working with the Neon’s owner to get the vehicle returned to him. “The suspect vehicle involved in hitting the 48-year-old man was not a Dodge
Neon, but rather a cobalt-blue, four-door sedan with black rims,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. Surveillance video of the blue car, captured from an area business, shows the vehicle travelling east on Seymour, between Second and Third avenues, at 1:32 a.m. When asked whether investigators had additional information pointing toward the blue sedan, Shelkie said she could not say. “We can’t divulge all of the information,” she said. “At this time, we believe it was this vehicle.” Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Wade bows out of battle for SD73 chair MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
There will be a new chair of the KamloopsThompson school board next month. Meghan Wade, who has served as chair for the past two years and was re-elected trustee in the civic election, will not accept a nomination when the new board is sworn in on Nov. 5. She told KTW last week she intended to pursue the position, but has since decided to refrain from taking on its responsibilities to spend more time with her husband, who is retiring in December after 42 years as maintenance manager at Domtar. “When I decided to run again, I just assumed that I would also look at running for the chair. He assumed I would run again, but

not tie up all my time with the chair,” she said. The position involves commitments that take plenty of time between board meetings, time Wade intends to spend taking more vacations with her husband and visiting her daughter in Hinton. In December 2016, Wade ousted thenchair Denise Harper, who hoped to retain the position. Tustee Joe Small told KTW last week he has a tense relationship with Wade and intends to nominate John
O’Fee to oust Wade as board chair. O’Fee said he was considering the position and other trustees have expressed interest in considering him. Wade said she has not considered who she will support as the new chair, but added she intends to work with and provide any advice she can give to the new chair. She said she almost opted not to run for trustee altogether, but there remain goals she wants to accomplish. Wade said she is proud of her advocacy for capital funding in School District 73 and overseeing the implementation of a student advisory council during her time as chair. In the Oct. 20 civic election, Wade received 8,123 votes, placing fifth out of the five trustees elected to represent the Kamloops portion of SD73.

STAY SAFE DURING SPOOKY SEASON
H
alloween is upon is and it is always a good idea to review safety tips, in this case courtesy of the Kamloops RCMP. With the excitement of Halloween, costumed kids sometimes forget their safety rules, which can make the evening dangerous as drivers navigate roads. However, there are a few things parents/guardians, children/teens and motorists can do to make sure everyone celebrates safely. Parents and guardians, know who your children are going trick-ortreating with and when they plan to return home. Remind children to stay in their neighbourhood and remind kids of which houses they can go to for safety if they get scared. Remind children to respect others’ property by staying off of lawns and gardens and avoiding houses with the lights off. Children and teens, do not go trick-or-treating alone; always go with a trusted adult or a group. Let your parents know where you are going and for how long. Stay in your neighbourhood and know where trusted people live so you can go there if you get scared. Do not visit houses with the lights off. Cross the street at marked crosswalks and intersections. Wait for an adult to inspect your candy before eating it and only eat things that are in unopened wrappers. When you get home, keep your treats in a safe spot, away from small children and pets. Motorists, drive slowly, especially in residential areas. Approach intersections with extreme caution and limit distractions in your vehicle in case you need to react quickly. If possible, avoid driving through subdivisions and areas full of trick-or-treaters. For those dressing up, wear light-coloured or bright costumes, reflective tape and arm bands to increase visibility. Wear properly fitted costumes to reduce the chance of tripping. Vision can be obstructed by masks. Wear makeup instead or make sure the mask has big enough eye openings to see clearly. Most importantly — have fun out there.

t’s been just over a year since Premier John Horgan executed the first of three policy shifts to put power into the hands of established political parties. Chapter one was reversing his campaign pledge to keep parties out of the public purse. Out went corporate and union donations, in came the looting of roughly $27 million, divided between Liberal, NDP and Green parties over four years, according to their 2017 vote share. It’s just transitional, you understand. Party bosses can choose to cut it off in five years. The NDP tabled opposition bills six times to get rid of corporate and union donations and never once mentioned a public subsidy. But you don’t hear a peep from any party since they all started cashing fat welfare cheques 10 months ago. Chapter two was engineering the move to proportional representation. Green Leader Andrew Weaver didn’t even want a referendum. As soon as he got his first demand, party status without the required minimum four MLAs, he pressed for terms that would skew the mail-in vote toward his urban support base. Horgan’s promise to preserve a regional voice in the referendum died quietly, without much struggle, well before NDP ringmaster David Eby finally revealed the questions on the last day of the spring legislature session. Metro Vancouver and South Island will decide it now.
TOM FLETCHER Our Man In
VICTORIA The exact wording of the NDP platform was: “We’ll ensure B.C.’s regions are all represented fairly.” Now, any turnout, from anywhere, is good enough. (That was my personal deal-breaker when I wrote last December that I’ll be voting no.) A smooth campaign is now in place, focusing on college and university campuses, an Eby specialty. Public-sector unions, the main source of NDP government staffers, are working their members for a yes vote. Social justice warriors see rural resource employees as a problem to be eliminated. Chapter three is voter suppression. Horgan first tried to keep the hodgepodge of invented options quiet until after the summer because no one would want to talk “pro rep” while barbecuing. Now the ballots are going out and two of the options “have never been used in this solar system,” as Chilliwack MLA John Martin put it. I’ll save the long explanation
of how they all work because some details and maps won’t be available until after the mail-in votes are counted just before Christmas. All Elections BC will say is that constituencies get bigger with proportional representation. Horgan and Eby suppressed maps by rushing to the referendum and, sure enough, one of the options is a Frankensteinstyle hybrid sewed together in Eby’s office. It purports to leave rural regions alone while some multi-member creature lurches to life for the rest of us. Instead of picking a name and party to represent your region, you may find that a computer algorithm selects your MLA, based on provincewide distribution of votes. The dualmember option lets parties pick their first- and second-choice candidates, then move votes from one to the other to appoint their favourite. There is not a single credible argument to support any of the three options being foisted on people without the time and information required to assess them. As with the grab of millions to fund established parties, this is a cynical bid to centralize power to them. Especially if you live outside major urban centres, the only sensible option is to keep the current first-past-the-post system. Don’t dignify the other three choices with a vote. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
B.C. CAN LEARN SOME THINGS FROM THE YUKON Editor: This past summer, my wife and I holidayed by driving through northern British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska. We were amazed with the Yukon provincial parks, with the amenities and costs offered and how they compared with B.C. provincial parks. Most of the parks were located beside a river or lake and were
close to the highway, making it conducive to travellers. All sites were first come, first serve and no reservations were necessary. They offered free firewood and each site had a picnic table and fire ring. Generators could be used from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. All sites were swept clean and generally well-kept.
The daily cost was $12. Yukon seniors’ accommodations are free. B.C. Parks, although very beautiful, cost approximately $32 per night. If you make a reservation to ensure a site, there is an additional cost of $6 per night for the first three nights. Also, if you have no internet skills and have to phone for a
reservation, that will cost you an additional $5, while a small bundle of wood is $10. This is extremely costly if you have a young family or are a senior on a fixed budget. How can B.C. make parks more available and financially feasible to the people of British Columbia? Herb McMillan Kamloops
EVEN B.C. LIBERALS DON’T USE FIRST PAST THE POST SYSTEM Editor: Major political parties do not use the first past the post system when electing a new leader. Not even the B.C. Liberals, who are fighting to keep this antiquated voting system, used it in their recent leadership vote. If you had four people running for leader, you wouldn’t just have one ballot and accept who-
ever got the most votes, even if they didn’t get a majority. You would want to make sure the leader of your party had the support of the majority of party members. You wouldn’t just say, “Phil got 38 per cent of the vote, but since that’s more than anybody else, “Phil’s our new leader. All hail
King Phil.” That would be a stupid way to run a party. It’s also a stupid way to run an election. But that didn’t stop Quebec from using first past the post during its last election, with four parties running. Philippe Couillard won a majority government with only
38 per cent of the popular vote. He now has absolute power over a province in which 62 per cent of the people didn’t want him to be premier. Good luck, Quebec. Maybe next time try proportional representation. Grant Fraser Kamloops
PROBLEM IS TOO MANY PARTIES Editor: The mail-in referendum on electoral reform is just so confusing. Maybe I’m just stupid, but the current B.C. NDP government wants proportional representation. Isn’t that what we have right now? We have two parties — BC NDP and BC Greens — that sometimes get along while running the government. And both were elected under the first past the post system, so what is the differ-
ence no matter which way we vote? We have three parties, which is part of the problem. I hate to say this, but it should be pointed out that the U.S. has two parties — one wins and one loses. Little fringe parties that have one seat cause nothing but trouble. As long as we have too many parties, we are going to end up with the same thing. If I’m wrong, please tell me why am I wrong. Rick Probe, Kamloops

Complementary Therapies
f you take a trip along Summit Drive and look toward The Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home you will see that the Wings Above Kamloops Hospice Expansion Project is quickly taking shape, thanks to the Cooper Family Foundation. As the construction progresses, behind the scene our staff are busy planning and developing programs for our new Community Services Centre As you may have read in previous articles, the expansion will include a Resource Corner, Workshop Room, and Training & Program Spaces. What we haven’t talked about is our Complementary Therapy Room. The term “Complementary Therapy” is used to describe a wide range of therapies aimed at enhancing wellness and relaxation through mind/body techniques, touch therapy & the arts. The complementary therapies offered by Hospice are not curative treatments and are not an alternative to conventional medical practices. Rather, they complement the current care that the client is receiving and are meant to be gentle and relaxing for the mind, body, and soul. Examples of complementary therapies include Healing Touch, Reflexology, Massage, Aromatherapy, Reiki and Expressive Arts Therapy including music, visual arts, and poetry. Today at Hospice we offer aromatherapy plus we have a volunteer who provides Healing Touch to patients and families. We recently received a grant to purchase and equip an Art Cart, this is used at the bedside by patients and their families; they can make a beaded memory bracelet, write a story in a notebook or create a keepsake with the various mediums available. Our mission at the Kamloops Hospice is to provide care and support for patients and their loved ones; a practical way to extend this care is to offer comfort and wholeness through these Complementary Therapies. Our goal is twofold: firstly, to provide more therapies, such as massage, reflexology, and music to our patients and secondly, to make these Complementary Therapies available to people in our community living with a palliative diagnosis. We count on volunteers to provide these supports to our patients and their families. If you are interested in supporting our Complementary Therapy program by volunteering your time and talent; please contact Pamela at pamela@kamloopshospice.com or call 250-372-1336.

The B.C. government says 83 per cent of Greyhound’s routes will be covered by the end of the year as the bus company prepares to pull out of Western Canada on Wednesday. “Some are already starting, others will be coming in midNovember,” Minister of Transportation Claire Trevena told reporters during a news conference on Monday.
Routes between Kamloops and Cache Creek and between Kamloops and Valemount are part of eight outstanding routes not yet filled by other private operators. Trevena said the government plans to work with the Passenger Transportation Board to issue requests for expressions of interest from the private sector to fill those gaps. “There is no public money going to these private companies that have come forward to

Overwhelming majority of forestry workers call for strike MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Unionized forestry workers are prepared to head to the picket line after a strike vote returned an overwhelming show of support. Without a new collective agreement since July, United Steelworkers members in Kamloops, Kelowna and Cranbrook have voted 98 per cent in favour of a strike. USW 1-417 president Marty Gibbons said the union received a good turnout, but wouldn’t provide specific numbers as to how many of the 3,500 members, including
900 in the Kamloops area — the Tolko mill in Heffley among them — participated in the vote. “The vast majority of members have voted,” Gibbons said. With a mandate now in place, the union will need to give 72-hour strike notice before proceeding with labour action. “We’re here fully intending to negotiate a contract, not a strike. What comes of this is really up to the employers,” said Gibbons. The union bargaining committee resumed talks in Kelowna on Tuesday, with the Interior Forestry Labour Relations Association
(IFLRA) representing employers. Gibbons said the offer to date has been insufficient. “Their offer does not reflect profits their workers have earned them and the profits this industry is going to continue to see,” he said, pointing to recent third-quarter reports from Canfor, Weyerhauser and West Fraser that show hundreds of millions of dollars in profits realized this year. Gibbons has said the employer is asking for multiple concessions, including a cap on dental work, and is seeking to lock workers in to a long-term contract in the area of
five years, with small wage increases. The 98 per cent strike vote was returned from USW members at Locals 1-405 (Cranbrook), 1-423 (Kelowna) and 1-417 (Kamloops) over a recent 10-day period. USW Local 1-417 represents forestry workers at mills in Kamloops, Clearwater, Salmon Arm, Merritt and Clinton. KTW has calls in to the Interior Forestry Labour Relations Association.
TRU sustainability initatives earn ‘platinum’ award level Thompson Rivers University has become the first post-secondary institution in Canada — and only the fifth such school in the world — to earn a platinum rating for its sustainability initiatives and achievements from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). TRU is now the highestrated globally through AASHE’s sustainability tracking, assessment and rating system (STARS) program, which measures and encourages sustainability in all aspects of higher education. “TRU is proud to have achieved a STARS platinum rating for our sustainability accomplishments,” said TRU
interim president Christine Bovis-Cnossen. “This recognition builds on the university’s strategic priorities and re-affirms our commitment to realizing a healthy, prosperous and sustainable campus community.” As a charter STARS participant, TRU was among the first wave of post-secondary institutions to commit to completing a sustainability assessment in 2010. TRU obtained a silver rating with its first report in 2011 and achieved gold in 2015 with its second report. That year, TRU developed a plan for sustainability using the STARS reporting system as a framework and reached platinum one year ahead of schedule.

Kamloops council has unanimously approved a pair of private cannabis applications. The Shore Cannabiz Shop at 399 Tranquille Rd. got the green light from council for its cannabis licence, but still needs final approval from the province. Fiore Fresco, slated for the Fortune Shopping Centre, also received approval. Coun. Denis Walsh recused himself from the vote due to a conflict of interest as he is considering opening a pot shop. The applications were the first of their kind to hit council chambers following approval during council’s last meeting of a government cannabis store, which opened without opposition on legalization day (Oct. 17). Chris Lyth, who is opening The Shore Cannabiz Shop on the North Shore, has received fierce opposition from a neighbouring illegal dispensary. In a letter to council, Carl Anderson, who operates the Canadian Safe Cannabis Services dispensary at 405 Tranquille Rd., submitted a 305-name petition against the application. “It seems more like a direct attack to the local medical cannabis community than anything else,” Anderson stated in a letter to the city. “It also seems like a direct violation of the new City of Kamloops bylaws, which specifically state that there should not be two cannabis dispensaries within 100 metre radius of each other.” With standing room only in council chambers on Tuesday, in advance of the pair of private
pot applications, Anderson told council that retailers don’t know the first thing about cannabis as a medication. “All they want to do is make money,” he said. Coun. Tina Lange asked whether those who support Anderson are against a recreational shop opening on Tranquille or against his store being shut down. “What’s the difference?” Anderson asked. With the Tranquille shop getting the go-ahead, Anderson’s illegal dispensary across the street will now be unable to open legally at the location, where he has been operating for more than a decade, serving 6,000 members. In its report, city staff said the Canadian Safe Cannabis Services dispensary does not have a provincial cannabis licence and is “non-compliant.” Staff recommended council support Lyth’s application and the report to council noted the location complies with all regulations under the city’s zoning bylaw. With Lyth’s application approved, the Canadian Safe Cannabis Services dispensary is operating too close to the approved cannabis store to legalize, though the city could offer zoning variances with council approval. The city has recommended illegal dispensaries close voluntarily. “Everyone starts on an equal opportunity. We have followed all regulations,” Lyth told city council at the meeting. Coun. Arjun Singh said it would be unfair to hold Anderson’s dispensary against the applicant and called the medical system “broken.”

“I don’t feel it is around targeting any one operation. I think we hopefully all realize the need for having both,” Singh said. One woman, who uses CBD oil due to a life-threatening illness, told council that she cannot access oil legally through the government cannabis store. “These government stores are not offering me the opportunity to fight for my life,” she said. Mayor Ken Christian noted council was not there to discuss the legalization of medical marijuana. “We are not here to talk about medical marijuana dispensaries and we are not here to talk about any other dispensary other than what’s here before us,” he said. The second cannabis retail application from Christopher Monteleone appeared to have significant support, with letters from the North Shore Business Improvement Association, Venture Kamloops and many local business people. In total, nearly 30 letters of support were submitted in favour of granting a licence for Monteleone, Dino Bernardo and Justin Cuzzetto to open Fiore Fresco in the Fortune Shopping Centre at Fortune Drive and Eighth Street on the North Shore. One lone letter of opposition expressed concern about cannabis shop being near The Success Formula Tutoring, which is located a few doors down from the proposed Fiore Fresco in the strip mall. “I am very anti-drug and am very upset that the city is even considering having such a store besides [sic] a business that works primarily with minors,” the letter states, suggesting the shop be located elsewhere.

Singh Street project wraps up Road work and pedestrian upgrades to Singh Street between Ord Road and Parkcrest Avenue are expected to wrap up by Wednesday. City of Kamloops capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said paving finished last week and line-painting and cleanup were to bring the project to conclusion. “Basically, everything’s done,”
Crundwell told KTW. The $420,000 project began at the end of July and included road work and widening of a path for pedestrians. Crundwell said work benefited from good weather in October and the project marks the city’s final paving of the year. “We’re basically done everywhere, which is really good,” he said.
“I hate it when we’re getting close to paving in the snow.” Capital projects on the books for 2019 in Kamloops include the two-year, $13-million reconstruction of West Victoria Street and long-awaited upgrades to Todd Road in Barnhartvale. “We’re just still finalizing the planning and construction documents for those projects,” Crundwell said.

Appeal heard in 2010 case of fatal speedboat crash on lake TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The fate of a man behind the wheel of a speedboat on Shuswap Lake more than eight years ago when it plowed into a houseboat, killing its driver, is now in the hands of a three-judge panel on B.C.’s highest court. Leon Reinbrecht was sentenced to 3.5 years in federal prison following his conviction in 2015 on charges stemming from the July 3, 2010, crash that killed houseboat operator Ken Brown and left several other people injured. Reinbrecht has appealed his conviction on the grounds the provincial government waited too long to take his matter to trial. The 56-year-old has been free on bail pending his appeal and was in Kamloops Law Courts on Tuesday morning. The legal proceedings against Reinbrecht have been protracted. He was not charged in connection with the fatal boat collision until 17 months after it had occurred. Another 46 months passed before he was convicted. Defence lawyer Greg DelBigio argued in the B.C. Court of Appeal in Kamloops on Tuesday that Reinbrecht’s constitutional right to be tried within a reasonable time was violated under legal framework laid out by the Supreme Court of Canada — a case called R. v. Jordan — the year after Reinbrecht was convicted.
The framework sets strict timelines for accused people to proceed through the legal process. In Reinbrecht’s case, 30 months would have been the limit laid out under the new regime from the Supreme Court of Canada. Following his trial, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan presided over a hearing to determine whether Reinbrecht’s conviction should be thrown out because it took too long. Donegan ruled that it should not and she apportioned blame to both sides for the delay. Donegan ruled Reinbrecht had suffered some prejudice because of delay, but not enough to overturn his conviction. In court on Tuesday, DelBigio asked the B.C. Court of Appeal panel to look at Reinbrecht’s case through the delay lens established by Canada’s highest court in 2016 — after Donegan’s decision. “The sole issue in this appeal is whether or not, under the new Jordan framework, a trial has taken too long,” he said. DelBigio focussed on a specific period of delay for Reinbrecht between October 2012 and July 2013 — time during which Reinbrecht was applying through court to receive government funding to pay his legal expenses. In Donegan’s decision, she declared that stretch of time to be neutral as far as blame is applied. Reinbrecht’s income precluded him from receiving legal aid, but he could not afford to pay a lawyer to defend him against such com-
plex allegations. He had to apply through court to receive a statefunded defence. According to DelBigio, the Crown should be held responsible for those nine months of delay because they — prosecutors and the provincial government — could have signed off on funding from the outset. They did not and DelBigio described the process of financial disclosure required of Reinbrecht as a “daunting” one. DelBigio said the Crown should have been willing to work with Reinbrecht to ensure his trial proceeded within a reasonable time. “In this case, what ought to have happened? It was clear he needed a lawyer for there to be a fair trial,” he said. “He couldn’t afford a lawyer. It was clear there was going to be some funding. The Crown ought to have been flexible.” B.C. Court of Appeal Justice David Frankel pushed back on DelBigio. “The Crown has a duty with respect to the public purse,” he said. “In certain circumstances, the Crown has the obligation to fund the defence of the accused, but it is not a blank cheque.” Eleven of Brown’s family and friends watched the hearing from the courtroom gallery. If the Court of Appeal judges decide the Crown should be found to have been at blame for the nine-month delay, it could lead to Reinbrecht’s conviction being quashed.

Play, shop and dine on The Shore and you may want to live here
Jeremy Heighton is the executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association.
A
s winter approaches, it is customary to see the focus go from business to family, especially with the holidays on the horizon. This year, however, there is still lots of business being done in the corridors throughout The Shore.
We have seen unprecedented investment announced recently in commercial and mixedresidential projects. We have seen the formalization of affordable-housing projects for the homeless, for seniors struggling on scant incomes, for adults with developmental disabilities and for so many more. Here on Kamloops’s North Shore, we have embraced the growth in our corridors and communities. We see the potential for what has been announced, the opportunities now unfolding and the possibilities down the road. What else is going on over here? We have a very high occupancy rate for our commercial spaces, meaning there are hundreds of hidden (and not so hidden) gems waiting to be discovered —
443, to be exact. We also have some advantages. We don’t have to ask the city to give you free parking a couple of days a week as parking is always free over here. On top of that, the North Shore transit exchange is at the top end of the Tranquille Corridor and all of our shopping districts have convenient bus stops. When you visit The Shore, we want you thinking about four things: LIVE! Great living conditions, including ample parks and playgrounds, access to great schools, easy and convenient shopping, established neighbourhoods with big lots, big trees and friendly people. We probably shouldn’t mention lower property taxes when you buy here
and a flat, accessible and connected community (we are amazing people over here) as that would make some neighbourhoods jealous. PLAY! Fantastic recreation activities are available to you, including cycling, running, hiking, curling, skating, hockey, walking and arcades. Natural areas for recreating are accessible to you, including our most beautiful natural areas, like the grasslands, Battle Bluff, Tranquille Lake and Rivers Trail. DINE WITH US! We want you to consider those 43 restaurants and 13 cultures. Don’t worry about the facades on some of our older buildings. Just venture inside and discover hidden culinary delights.
SHOP! We have 43 dining options covering 13 ethnicities and we have a bevy of boutique and retail stores waiting to fill your needs this holiday season. We have larger grocers and retailers who help with everything from feeding your family, to setting your table, to dressing your crew affordably, to building your perfect closet. We want you to come to our shore, relax in our restaurants, shop at your leisure and take your time. Regardless of your preconceptions of The Shore, I challenge you to drop by, chat with our friendly merchants and explore our shore this fall and winter.

Visitors dig in at a previous Love Hard Kamloops event.
Love Hard to feed hundreds The Love Hard Kamloops Society, one of the city’s newest notfor-profit organizations, is preparing to feed hundreds of people this weekend. The For the Love of Food event will take place this Saturday, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., at the Odd Fellows & Rebekahs Hall, at 423 Tranquille Rd. on the North Shore. “For this event, we lovingly fill bellies of anyone who needs their bellies filled,” said Amy Giddens, Love Hard founder and president. “Everyone in need or having challenging times are welcome to come and share some food, social conversation and live music.” Love Hard will present a buffet, sitdown lunch created by society members and friends, featuring a variety of hot foods, soups, sandwiches,

fruit, desserts and a host of other food donated by many organizations in Kamloops. Attendees will be able to take a small
hamper as they leave, containing necessities such as toiletries and hygienic supplies, baby items and a few snacks, along with some
other surprises. Also making its return is the Love Hard Kids’ Club, with a variety of sit-down activities. “This is just one of the many ways we are helping people throughout Kamloops, to not just help with hunger, but to give people some very deserved love, compassion and support,” said Love Hard’s director/treasurer Mark Moran. For more information, visit the Love Hard Kamloops Facebook page. The Love Hard Kamloops Society is a community humanitarian organization that helps people with challenges on an ad hoc basis for which other organizations aren’t easily able to help.
The Mustard Seed New Life Community is operating a warm winter clothing pop-up shop this week and needs your help. The pop-up shop will operate this Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the organization’s outreach centre at 181 West Victoria St. It will be the first time The Mustard Seed will have hosted a winter clothing pop-up shop, but the concept has been successful in other communities. “This is such a great opportunity to bless people with much-needed winter clothing,” said Drew Gustzak, volunteer services manager for The Mustard Seed. “We’ve done this event in many of our locations and it’s been a great win-win for the community. “It’s a win for people who have
winter clothing in good condition that they may not want any more and they can donate it, and it’s a win for those who are in desperate need of this clothing to stay warm this winter.” The organization is looking for donations of gently used or new tuques, mittens, gloves, jackets, scarves, cotton or wool socks and winter boots. Donations can be dropped off through Wednesday at the Outreach Centre or at Thrift City at 342 Seymour St. Bible Truth Church is providing volunteers to help sort and hand out items and is purchasing lunch for those attending the event. The Mustard Seed expects to welcome close to 100 people on Thursday.
Celebrate lights of Diwali on Friday The Kamloops Hindu Cultural Society is celebrating Diwali this Friday at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen. Diwali is one of the most important festivals celebrated by many Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists around the world. Diwali literally means rows of lighted lamps. During the festival — which is celebrated in October or November, based on the lunar calendar — people light their homes and businesses with multicoloured lamps. Diwali signifies the important concept of victory of good over evil.
During the festival, people pray, wear new outfits and enjoy a wide variety of food. Diwali 2018 will include cultural programs, door prizes, music and dancing. Doors on Friday will open at 5:30 p.m. Admission is $50

Addiction is definitely not a personal choice Today, we answer the following question, sent in by a KTW reader: Why do people blame the addict for their disease while not blaming people with other visible diseases?
ASK AN ADDICT Ask an Addict is a column penned by a Kamloops scholar with expertise in addiction issues and someone who is also an addict. The column is meant to inform and help, which is particularly important as we remain mired in an opioid crisis that continues to claim thousands of lives each year. If you have a question you would like answered, email it to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com. Anonymity is guaranteed.
The World Health Organization and the College of Physicians and Surgeons deem addiction a disease. This fact is not in dispute. People tend to think addiction is a personal choice. Addiction is horrible and hellish. It is not something anyone chooses. Picking up the first drink or drug may have been deliberate, but when true addiction
kicks in, choice is no longer an option. Addicted brains are hijacked and no amount of personal resolve can overcome this powerful biological drive. Imagine trying to stop breathing. It will never
Search is on for members
Kamloops Search and Rescue has begun its fall recruitment drive. KSAR members have been tasked out 32 times and logged roughly 3,000 hours this year, which is on pace to set new team records. Members are required to be at least 19 years old, have or be willing to obtain occupational first-aid (OFA1 plus transport endorsement), have a valid
happen on willpower alone. The difference between addiction and other visible diseases is that addiction has observable actions that tend to hurt others. If I have diabetes, you
don’t see my high blood sugar harming others. I don’t cheat, lie, steal or sell my body if I have diabetes. I do not commit crimes. The behaviour of addicts/alcoholics hurts other people. Mothers, fathers, children, siblings and even strangers are impacted by drunk driving. These observable actions are why people blame addicts. When one picks up a cup of tea, I tend to think of it as a personal choice. When one picks up a drink, we tend to think it is also a personal choice. People hurt by addicts direct their anger and pain onto to the person causing it.
Many say, “If you loved me enough, you would just quit.” Unfortunately, addiction isn’t about loving or not loving another. If love could cure illness, there would be no diabetes, no cancer and no addiction. Addicts hurt people — and hurt people hurt people. When hurt, people lash out at addicts and call them weak-willed and immoral. Unfortunately, the lying, cheating and manipulative actions are indicative of the substance being used and are not about the person using the substance. People tend to confuse alcoholic rage as
being the alcoholic. It is actually the alcohol, the drug, that causes the behaviour. Society confounds the two and tends not to separate the person from the substance. When a young child acts out, we are taught to separate the behaviour from the person. We tell them, “I love you, but not your behaviour.” This should be true with addiction: “I love you, but not your disease (including addictive behaviours).” But, sadly, it is not. What addicts need most is less stigmatization. People do not seek help when judgment
prevails. This is why it is important to be aware of the facts. Addiction is not a lifestyle choice. Addicts who are actively ill already hate themselves enough without having more judgment thrown at them. As a closing thought, consider your child falling on the floor with a seizure —urinating and defecating in their pants. Consider your mother having had a stroke, with profanity now coming out of her mouth. These two conditions would be not be met with judgment or anger— nor would they be considered a personal choice. Sadly, addiction is.

Hotel 540 closes for extensive renovations MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
As of Thursday, Hotel 540 will be closed through the winter as the Victoria Street property undergoes an extensive $8-million makeover, re-opening in early April as a Delta-brand hotel franchise under parent company Marriott. “The biggest change will be to the public areas on the main lobby level,” general manager Bryan Pilbeam said. Work on the new lobby will involve removing walls to create a more contemporary open-concept area. The renovation will enhance the food and beverage offering in the hotel with the creation of a lobby bar, a “grab and go” food market and a yet-to-be named restaurant that will replace Blue Dining + Lounge. A private dining room and a new entrance along Victoria Street for the restaurant and bar will also be built in the lobby, with some main floor offices removed to create the required space, Pilbeam said. “The current layout will disap-
This rendering shows what rooms will look like when Hotel 540 re-opens next year under the Delta brand. General manager Brian Pilbeam said the change will likely make the property more attractive to regular travellers. “You can only do so much to get your name out as an independent,” he said.
pear. It’s a total change to the look of it all,” he said. The rooms above will have
updated amenities, including new tile floors, new washrooms, 55-inch TVs and dreamcatchers
made by a Kamloops artists hanging above the beds. Part of the renovation will be the creation of a feature suite from a board room on the fifth floor, bumping the total number of rooms from 150 to 151. Hotel 540 last underwent a renovation in 2010 when it converted from an Executive Inn to its current independent model. Ownership and management — National Hospitality Group — will remain in place under the franchise agreement, which was signed in an effort to increase business. “You can only do so much to get your name out as an independent,” Pilbeam said. “There’s just reach that a brand will have that people who are travelling regularly will choose.” He noted the 100-million Marriott Rewards members as an example of the reach the Marriott has around the world. While the five-month renovation will displace most of the hotel’s workers, Pilbeam said notice was given in January and the company has been working with those employees to help connect them with other work in the interim.
580 on radar after 540 work As Hotel 540 undergoes a facelift and name change, National Hospitality Group’s other development plans for the 500-block of Victoria Street remain in the works. Hotel general manager Bryan Pilbeam said the renovations will be the focus over the winter. In the spring, it will shift to promoting the project at 580 Victoria St. — a sixstorey office development planned on what is now a parking lot at the east end of the block. The office building will feature a glass front and LEED Gold design and will include underground parking. Pilbeam said the company hasn’t finalized design plans for the new building as it continues to discuss the makeup of customized spaces for potential tenants. “One company that we’re speaking with really treasures and wants outdoor balcony space and outdoor space, so we’ve re-developed the rooftop area to give more outdoor space for people on the very top to enjoy, like a little barbecue area and benches,” Pilbeam said.
Why Due Diligence Matters Recently, I traveled to the southern US to attend a conference in Private Debt (PD) hosted by a company I will call ABC. It is worth mentioning that industry regulation prohibits companies from influencing advisors and cannot pay for any travel or accommodation. We feel it is important to mention because it demonstrates our thorough due diligence and our unbiased approach to investing. Private debt is considered an alternative to traditional stocks and bonds and typically available to only "accredited investors" whom must have a minimum level of: income, investable assets or net worth. PD typically finances loans or mortgages by non-banks and is less liquid because it doesn’t trade on the public markets. There are many companies that specialize in this field where they lend money to a person or company and take collateral and personal guarantees. Since the 2008 financial crisis, many banks have strict lending guidelines. As such, entrepreneurs are not able to get all their financing from the Big Banks. Generally, the debt hierarchy looks like this:
Lower Risk
Higher Risk
DIrect (Real Assets) Mezzanine Distressed Hybrid Venture / Speculative
ABC focuses on direct real estate and has been in business over 21 years. We met the founder, partners, portfolio managers, clients, CEO and Chief Credit Officer. They outlined how ABC is different and relies on a four-level structure to maximize success: 1) Origination – brokers are paid to find good deals. Approximately 30% of their commission occurs upon repayment of the debt. 2)
Underwriters – They look at the 5Cs of credit: Character, Capital, Capacity, Collateral and Conditions. The 5-member committee must unanimously agree to proceed or the deal is rejected.
3)
Investment Committee- review concentration, maturities, risk and which fund to place the debt in.
4)
Board of Governors – there are four independent members ensuring there are no related party transactions, as well as, proper valuations. When a default occurs, it must be reviewed by the auditors and decided whether to take an impairment charge.
The founder repeatedly said, “This is NOT our money” reminding his team that they always have to remember the trust that is bestowed upon them. We were told about 90% of the deals that are offered to ABC do not even go to underwriting. Of the ones that do, 80% of deals are accepted but only 30% get funded due to competition, dislike of terms or the deal dies. The returns vary but typically range between 5% and 8%. When a deal goes into default (missed payment) it may be resolved quickly or it could deteriorate and require enforcement which can lead to impairment (permanent loss).

TD Wealth Private Investment Advice
Different jurisdictions (provinces and states) are better than others in terms of collecting. According to Moody's between 1987-2016, the recovery on bad debts has averaged: Commercial Mortgages 75% Corporate Bonds- secured 63% Corporate Bonds- unsecured 48% Corporate Bonds-subordinate 28% As one employee said, “It is easy to make a loan but hard to collect!” Since inception, ABC has had a 99.5% recovery rate! They attribute this to the fact that they are in control of the recovery process and they know their clients - approximately 70% are repeat customers. We also met some of their customers who valued the business partnership. Among the most important criteria to the borrower are speed of execution and certainty that the deal will be approved. ABC is able to accomplish this by having boots on the ground in all the areas they lend. They have a deep understanding of the demographics, economics, immigration, real estate laws, governments, etc. For example: Texas’ economy is nearly the size of Canada, has no state income tax, among the fastest growing in the US and can foreclose within 45 days without court. Despite the old real estate adage of location, location, location, the company felt the most important thing is people, people, people. On a personal note, despite all knowledge, statistics and solid historic results; what we got to experience was a sense of their culture… An intangible and cannot be found on a website or document. Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well.

“We were really hungry coming into this weekend and I think it showed,” said Pillar, who has two goals and eight points in 13 games. “I think we are going to play better from here on out.” If Lajoie, now into Month 2 of his WHL coaching career, was feeling a touch hot under the collar following the sevengame losing streak, perhaps he walked into work this week with a renewed sense of assuredness. And maybe his players feel that way, too. “From my standpoint, I don’t look at twitter, I don’t listen to any kind of talk that may be happening in the media,”
Lajoie said. “But as a rookie head coach, maybe it gives me a little more breathing room with three victories under our belt here.” Lajoie plans to keep his foot on the gas this week in practise. The Blazers will play host to the Brandon Wheat Kings (6-3-3-2) on Friday at Sandman Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. Kamloops will travel to Langley on Saturday to play the Western Conferenceleading Vancouver Giants (11-3-2-0). “It’s a work day today,” Lajoie said. “We are not going to get ahead of ourselves and get too excited, but we are definitely on the right path.”
Kamloops may be the launching pad for an international team’s assault on the 2019 World Junior Hockey Championship, which will be held in Vancouver and Victoria from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5. Team USA is interested in hosting its pre-tournament camp in the Tournament Capital and the schedule may include an exhibition game against Team Russia, a source told KTW. City of Kamloops parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said nothing has been finalized. “We are talking to an international team about potentially an exhibition game, training camp, etcetera, but there is nothing solidified yet, so I’m hesitant to share that,” Putnam said. The Kamloops Blazers’ final home
game before a Central Division road trip that leads into the WHL Christmas break is against the Victoria Royals on Dec. 5 at Sandman Centre. Following that B.C. Division tilt, the Blazers do not play at the barn on Mark Recchi Way again until Dec. 28, a scheduling gap that offers an ideal window for the U.S. Jack Hughes, the projected No. 1 pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, Vancouver Canucks’ prospect Quinn Hughes, Brady Tkachuk, the fourth overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, and New York Islanders’ prospect Oliver Wahlstrom were among the Americans who played at the World Junior Summer Showcase in Kamloops in August. They may return soon. D#30150
streaks drag on. For the Kamloops Blazers, four straight victories — including a weekend sweep of a three-game U.S. Division road trip — should do wonders in stamping out any self-skepticism that may have sprouted during the preceding sevengame slide. “I always had the belief that we were on the right track, in terms of we weren’t far away from being rewarded from how I was seeing our guys executing in practice,” Blazers’ head coach Serge Lajoie told KTW on Tuesday. ”It’s nice to have that happen. With three wins this weekend, [there is] maybe a little bit higher level of belief for the players that it can be accomplished.” Kamloops (6-6-0-1) bested the Seattle Thunderbirds 7-2 in Kent, Wash., on Friday. Zane Franklin led the way for the visitors, scoring a hat trick as the Blazers erased a 2-0 deficit and scored seven straight goals to ground the T-Birds. Franklin has a team-leading 10 goals after 13 games. Jermaine Loewen, who returned on Friday from a four-game suspension, was wearing the captain’s C for the first time. He had a goal and an assist against the T-Birds and followed with three goals and four points in a 6-2 triumph over the Winterhawks in Portland on Saturday. “It gives us a big boost of confidence,” said Loewen, the 20-year-old forward from Arborg, Man. “We’re on a roll right now. We are playing the right way and I think the guys are relishing that.” Dylan Ferguson, 20, was rock-solid between the pipes on the weekend, stopping 31 shots on Friday and making 32 saves on Saturday. Rookie backup Dylan Garand, 16, was outstanding in a 5-2 victory over the Winterhawks on Sunday, turning aside 32 shots to post his first victory of the campaign. Josh Pillar, a 16-year-old rookie, had the best weekend of his young career, racking up one goal and six points on the road trip.

WOLFPACK RANKED EIGHTH IN COUNTRY MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Sam Taylor Parks had a rough night at the service line. Tim Dobbert ate more than a few of his own spikes. Coach Pat Hennelly was struggling to find energy. The TRU WolfPack men’s volleyball team proved on Saturday it can win when doing anything but firing on all cylinders. TRU (3-1) completed a two-match weekend sweep of the UBC Thunderbirds at the Tournament Capital Centre, grinding out a five-set victory with a 15-13 win in the deciding game. “It was far from perfect today,” said Hennelly, whose fatigue came partly from a busy weekend that included two Canada West matches and hosting a high school tournament at TRU. “But we showed some maturity
and poise.” The Pack fed off of a crowd of about 700 at the TCC on Friday and played impressive volleyball in a four-set victory over the T-Birds. TRU was not as sharp on Saturday and ran into an inspired T-Birds team desperate for its first victory of the season. UBC (0-4) ripped momentum away from TRU after the first set and led the match 2-1 heading into the fourth set. After securing an early lead, the visitors were homing in on win No. 1. The Pack woke up in time to thwart the onslaught. Dobbert, who had a match-high 20 kills, started finding holes in UBC’s block. Charlie Bringloe brought the hammer with his serve. Anton Napolitano passed well. “We just stayed composed,” said Napolitano, a thirdyear setter from Australia.
“We had nothing to lose. They were playing good volleyball. We really weren’t. “We thought we’d give it a crack and try our hardest and it worked.” Taylor Parks made four serving errors on Saturday, but none of them came when he was called on to serve out the match. The crowd of about 200 showed its appreciation when the final point was won. TRU is next in action when the Winnipeg Wesmen come to town on Nov. 16. Hennelly and the Pack will be trying to keep their perfect home record intact. “We want to establish this place,” Hennelly said. “We used to have bit of an aura around here and this was a tough place to play. I think we’re going to build that up again.” TRU is eighth in the latest U Sports men’s volleyball rankings.

The TRU WolfPack women’s volleyball team won its first match of the Canada West campaign on Friday at the Tournament Capital Centre, but the elation they were feeling in this photo was replaced by disappointment on Saturday. The Pack (1-3) knocked off the UBC Thunderbirds, the 10th-ranked team in the country, in a five-set thriller in front of about 650 fans on Friday. The T-Birds (1-3) wiped the court with the Pack on Saturday in a straight-sets triumph.

If not the hottest university team in the country, the TRU WolfPack men’s soccer team is, at the very least, an outfit brimming with belief heading into the Canada West Final Four tournament. The Kamloopsbased squad handed the hometown Alberta Golden Bears a 3-1 defeat in quarter-final action in Edmonton on Saturday. “The guys played great from beginning to end defensively,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov told TRU sports information. “We were very sound. The backline was absolutely fantastic. We were able to convert the chances that we got.” Mitch Popadynetz, Josh Banton and Justin Donaldson, a Kamloops
product, bulged the old onion bag for the WolfPack, who allowed only two shots on goal. Jackson Gardner was between the pipes for TRU. Popadynetz has three goals and five assists in his last four matches. Alberta was undefeated in the regular season and earned the Prairie Division’s top seed with a record of 12-0-2. That was supposed to give the Bears a favourable matchup against the Pacific Division’s No. 4 seed. Instead, they drew the WolfPack, an inform team that transferred regular-season momentum into the playoffs. TRU, which looked a safe bet to miss the post-season a month ago, has five victories and one tie in its last six matches heading into a semifinal clash against the Trinity Western

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM 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 acquaintances have stood beside her, supported her and loved her unconditionally. In the last days of her life the presence of Joanna’s friends was truly touching and was a testament to their love for her.
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE & WEEP MARY FRYE (1932)
Joanna’s family would like to express their gratitude to her caregivers and medical professionals in Kamloops for their guidance and support over the years, and to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home for their compassionate care of Joanna, our family, and her friends.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
A Celebration of Joanna’s Life will be held at the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at 1:00 pm.

Melvin Edward Monteith 1931 - 2018
Melvin Edward Monteith died on October 23, 2018 after a long illness. He was predeceased by his wife of 56 years, Enid Norah (Lucas) Monteith. He is survived by his sister Doreen (Roy Baillargeon) of Kamloops, his children Mike (Linda), Brandy (Brenton Wilkie), Terry (John Pisarczyk), Ken, Syd (Tracy Baird), eight grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. Mel grew up in Kamloops, graduating from the Senior Matriculation programme at Kamloops Senior Secondary School in 1952. In his final school years, he worked summers for the BC Forest Service and landed his first full-time position in Wells Gray Park in 1952. Before his retirement in 1994 he had attained the positions of Ranger and District Manager, and was well-liked by those he worked with, especially those who worked for him. His own superiors may have been less impressed by the application of his motto: it is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission. Mel was a devoted husband and father. From his proposal to Enid at the time of his first post in Wells Gray Park to their marriage in 1953, through many job postings around the Interior of BC, to his loving attention as Enid’s health declined after their retirement and he became her primary caregiver, theirs was a story of devotion and attention. His children all remember the countless ways he showed his love of the family — the summer camping trips, the winter skating rinks, tobogganing, skiing, a swing and a

climbing rope at every home they lived in, the attendance at countless sporting events and much, much more. Mel and Enid built and maintained a family that sticks together, despite geographical distance and differences of opinion. A loving home and support for the hopes and dreams of all are the legacy Mel and Enid leave behind as parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. Mel was hard-working, intelligent, practical and caring. He was fair and open-minded, a ravenous reader of sciencefiction and overall a very likeable man, right to the end. His children were endlessly amazed by his capacity to complete complex mathematical calculations in his head faster than they could do the same with their calculators. One of Mel’s great accomplishments was the building of the family’s log home. He worked hard on weekends and holidays to accomplish this work, largely by hand, from felling the trees, to peeling the logs and winching them atop the structure to carrying rocks and mortar up ladders to build an immense central fireplace. The result was a beautiful home fitting for the loving family he had created. Mel will be remembered in a private family gathering. There will be no service by request. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Kamloops Hospice Association, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9. http://www.kamloopshospice.com/ You have all our love and appreciation for being the best father a family could have, Dad. We miss you terribly.

Barbara Isobelle Summers (née Russell-Baker)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Barbara Isobelle Summers (née Russell-Baker), on October 19, 2018 at the age of 96. She is survived by her two daughters Sharon Hopps, her granddaughters Lisa and Julie Hopps, Dena Marlene (Randy) Foisy and her three grandsons Ryan (Candus) Foisy, Jeffery (Sophia) Foisy and Kyle (Merridy) Foisy, along with nine great-grandchildren Jordan of Alberta, Isobella and Jackson of Clearwater, Aria and Maxwell of Kelowna, Hannah, Alexa, Keiliegh and Sophie of Vavenby who will all miss their GG very much. She is predeceased by her husband Roy Summers and her son Reg Summers. She is fondly remembered by her nieces Penny of California and Shirley of New Westminster and her sister-in-law Rita of White Rock. Barbara was born in North Bend, BC on April 25, 1922. She was the youngest of six children and was one of three girls. She used to tell the story of her mother putting her in the warming drawer of the oven, to keep her warm, as a newborn. The family then moved to Kamloops when Barbara was six and later to Vancouver. Barbara worked at WH Malkin Co. in the early forties, where she met Roy and they were married in 1944. They bought a house in East Vancouver, where she lived for 47 years before moving back to Kamloops in 1994.
Servicing: Ashcroft, Barriere, Blue River, Cache Creek, Chase, Clearwater, Merritt, Spencers Bridge, Valemount & Kamloops.
She was a stay-at-home Mom until 1960 when she re-entered the work force and eventually began her career at the Royal Bank, until her retirement 20+ years later. Barbara was a lover of gardening and painting. She adored taking pictures of sunsets, flowers, family and her beloved dog Copper. She was independent and spirited, and was always ahead of her time, in her thinking and character. She was extraordinarily stubborn, which one was often frustrated and enamored by, almost simultaneously, as you couldn’t help but admire her gumption and determination. She had a wicked sense of humour, combined with a truly kind and loyal heart. She loved her family and her dear close friends, of which she had many. If you were lucky enough to feel the light of her love, you were truly blessed. Her smile could light up a room and when she cast that smile upon you, it made your heart glow, just knowing that someone that remarkable loved you. She was the true matriarch of her family and she will be dearly missed and in those times when we miss her, we must search for the mark she left on all of us and know that she is here and that she will carry on in our memories and in our stories and most vividly, in our hearts. We would also like to thank the staff at Ponderosa Lodge in Kamloops for their care and dedication to making Barbara’s last days as comfortable and as peaceful as possible. No service by request. Donations can be made to the local SPCA in memory of Barbara. A celebration of life to be held in the spring of 2019.
Kenneth Albert Lincoln July 12, 1930 – October 27, 2018
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Ken Lincoln. He passed away peacefully after a short illness with his children by his side. Ken is survived by his children Alan (Jen), Sandra (Scott), Darren (Shelley), his grandchildren Nicole, Megan, Rebecca, Danya, Sean and Ally, his sister Shirley Bodman, his very dear friend Elsie Kinaschuk and many nieces and nephews. Ken was predeceased by his wife Alice and his sisters Dorothy Reedman and Phyllis Kelly. Ken was born in Simpson, Saskatchewan and moved to BC when he was just a young boy. He lived in Horsefly, Barnhartvale and Kamloops with 28 years in Pinantan on the old school house property. Ken worked for many years at Dearborn Tractor and Kamloops Tractor and was very well known around the Interior and Cariboo for his knowledge of farm implements. When he retired, farmers were often calling him at home for advice on what was wrong with a piece of machinery and Ken always had the answer. Ken enjoyed camping and hiking, snowmobiling, crosscountry skiing, lawn games, bowling and playing his accordian and his organ. After Alice passed, Ken met Elsie. They enjoyed going for dinners, listening to music and enjoying each others company. She was a great comfort to him for the past 11 years and during his illness. As per Ken’s wishes, there will be no service. The family would like to thank RIH and Ponderosa Lodge for their wonderful care during these last 4 months. “Rest in Peace, Pops!” Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324 Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS
Licence Plates
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
You have a licence plate with the format letter-letter-digit-digit-digit-letter. There are 26 letters and 10 digits. How many licence plates are there that are just one letter or character different from yours? For example, if you have A123BC, the following are one different: B123BC, A723BC, A183BC, A120BC, A123XC and A123BH. But you know that licence plates do not use all 26 letters. How many letters do you think are used? Now, solve the problem for that many letters used.
