HONOURING DIFFERENT ANIMAL VETS CHRISTOPHER FOULDS EDITOR editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
The red poppy is known the world over. But the purple poppy? “It means for the animals, so we remember the animals,” said eight-year-old Leilani Vanderydt. “A couple of years ago, I was wondering why we don’t remember the animals.” With help from mom Debbie and dad Kevin, she did some research and discovered the purple poppy is worn to honour animals in wars. Last year, Leilani wore a paper purple poppy she made. This year, she acquired the real thing — ordering 100 purple poppies from Australia, where the Australia War Memorial Animal Organisation boasts a plethora of items honouring animals in combat.
However, rather than stick pins through the purple poppies, as is done with the familiar red versions, Leilani’s poppies can be tied to a dog’s leash or to a cat’s collar. She is selling them at her parents’ Valleyview store, Greenhawk Equestrian Sport, each day this week after school. Visitors to the shop at Oriole and Falcon roads (in the strip mall that houses The Office pub and Falcon Lanes bowling) can find Leilani from about 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., sitting at her creatively decorated table. The purple poppies can be had for donations, with money raised going to the Royal Canadian Legion and Animal Aid. Leilani lives on a farm and has a horse, dogs, cats, chickens and goats — so her love for animals comes naturally. Her mom said most of the family’s

animals are rescue animals. “Remembrance Day has always been important to us and it’s something we have always followed carefully,” Debbie said. “She always wondered about the animals because we see in pictures horses pulling machinery, there’s horses being ridden, there’s dogs and even cats down in the mess halls. My brother would talk about how they kept the mice out.” DID YOU KNOW? According to Britain’s Animals in War Memorial Fund, eight-million horses died in the First World War, as did countless mules and donkeys. They were used to transport ammunition and supplies to the front line. The fund also notes pigeons, dogs, elephants, camels, oxen, bullocks, cats, canaries and even glow worms were used in combat.
A Kamloops man charged in connection with a shootout with police and a lengthy standoff in a trailer park last year is expected to plead guilty, a judge was told this week. Shane Caron was arrested at 4 a.m. on Oct. 28, 2017, following a 17-hour standoff with police in the SHANE CARON G&M Trailer Park on the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc reserve. The standoff followed a police chase and multiple exchanges of gunfire between the suspect and officers, Mounties said at the time. The 39-year-old is facing a raft of charges, including four counts of attempted murder, which allege Caron was trying to kill four police officers by firing shots at them. During a brief hearing in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday, defence lawyer Jonathan Avis said a plea agreement has already been reached on another one of Caron’s outstanding criminal files and he expects the same outcome for the remaining charges. “The other one seems to be going toward resolution,” he said.

Kamloops is in the early stages of planning a series of improvements to Riverside Park. City parks manager Jeff Putnam said the improvements are in the concept stage — with discussion unlikely to hit council chambers until summer 2019 — for flood-risk mitigation, accessibility improvements and inclusion of food trucks. “The park has been flooded three of the last five years,” Putnam said. “So we’re trying to upgrade the park to bring pathways a little bit higher so we don’t have to shut down paths during the summertime. “Part of that process, we want to make it more food-truck friendly, so we’d have parking for food trucks and that sort of thing.” The main driver for the project would be floodrisk mitigation — bank stability and raising pathways above the 200-year floodplain level — but would likely also include widening of paths to accommodate wheelchairs, walkers and bikers and improved lighting to help create more walkable areas in the park. A food and drink concession that has been in the park for approximately 40 years may also be removed. “It’s not in a very good location,” Putnam told KTW. Civic operations director Jen Fretz called the Riverside Park improvements a “fairly significant project” with many pieces, potentially even including the proposed refrigerated outdoor skating rink. “We’re talking about flood protection, we’re talking about potentially the outdoor skating rink and different re-arrangements or arrangements for food trucks and bank stability. All of those sorts of things,” she said. Fretz said due to the project’s size and because it is at the concept stage, it is not known whether staff will be ready to present to council in June of next year or in 2020.
New chairlift to open by Christmas Terminals and foundations have been installed, with towers up next for a new ski lift at Sun Peaks. The Orient quad chairlift is under construction and due for completion in time for Christmas. “We’re still targeting around the 20th of December for opening of the lift,” Peter Nixon of Sun Peaks Resort told the city’s parks and recreation committee this week. “That’s going well. Everything else is what we call silly season. Everybody’s scrambling around.” Nixon said the resort community is getting ready for winter, with opening day set for Saturday, Nov. 17. Ski teams arrive about a week earlier for training, on Nov. 10. “We’re attempting to make snow right now,” he said. “It’s not as efficient as we’d like, but we’re still targeting that.” Nixon said the biggest challenge that remains for the resort community is air access. “People are asking about direct flights that we don’t have, that we had this summer through [Air Canada] Rouge,” Nixon said. “A lot of people were kind of disappointed that it didn’t carry through.” The conversation remains ongoing, with Nixon noting the resort is capable of filling 737 jets two or three times a week with skiers.

JESSICA WALLACE/KTW Tk’emlups Coun. Jeanette Jules and City of Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian shake hands during the unveiling on Monday of of the Xget’tem’ (pronounced “haw-stem”) Trail. The city’s $3.7-million, 1.7-kilometre paved pathway linking Sahali with downtown has been in use for weeks, but Monday saw members of Kamloops and Tk’emlups council gather for the official opening. The name of the path is a Secwepemc word meaning “deep valley.”
Welcome to the Xget’tem’ Trail JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Peterson Creek multi-use pathway officially opened on Monday morning and the ribbon-cutting came with a new moniker: Xget’tem’ Trail. The name for the 1.7-kilometre paved stretch connecting pedestrians and bikers between Sahali and downtown means “deep valley” in Secwepemc and pays tribute to the area’s historical ties to the Shuswap people. It is pronounced “haw-stem”. “It’s in honour of them that we stand here today,” Mayor Ken Christian told a group of dignitaries at the trail head on Glenfair Drive. “It really reflects on the history of this particular territory.” Tk’emlups Coun. Jeanette Jules, whose portfolio includes natural resources, said the valley’s edible and medicinal plants are “highly significant.” In addition, she said, trails accessed since time immemorial connect the South Thompson River to lakes and forests south of Kamloops. “A lot of our community members still utilize
this trail and will continue, just like everyone else,” Jules said. More than a connection to the Secwepemc, the trail now connects pedestrians and bikers between Sahali and downtown — a significant safety improvement over the previous route along bustling Columbia Street. Christian said the project has been years in the making, dating back to city transportation, biking and trail plans. While the official opening was on Monday, the pathway opened to the public last month and the city has tracked usage. The peak day saw 511 users — a number Christian expects will continue to grow now that the path is officially open. “This is a fabulous addition to the infrastructure in the City of Kamloops,” Christian said. The project was not, however, without challenges, running $350,000 over budget and behind schedule. Topography limited options and groundwater was more excessive than pre-construction studies determined, requiring more work to ensure slope stability. City of Kamloops utilities engineer Liam
Baker said the city has no concerns long term. “When we’re building this stuff, we’re trying to make sure that we’re building it properly,” he told KTW. “So, if it means a little more up front costs during construction, then unfortunately, that’s what we have to do because the path is designed to be in place for 40, 60-plus years. It’s basically a permanent piece of infrastructure, so we did try to make sure we got it right in the first place.” A Bike BC grant of $1 million was used toward the $3.7-million cost of the path. Future phases will further connect Bestwick Drive and McGill Road and further up Summit Drive. “It will be the Tom Moore Trail on steroids when it’s done,” Christian said, referencing a popular trail in Peterson Creek Park. No timeline for additional phases of the project could be provided, with Christian noting the city will have a difficult tax year ahead. The trail will be maintained by the civic operations department through the winter, in the same manner other paved paths, including Rivers Trail, are maintained.

School District 73 has approximately 171 more students to start the 2018-2019 school year than it did last September. Enrolment continues to grow incrementally, with SD73’s population increasing by about 500 students since 2013. The number of elementary school students increased across the district by about 252, although there are 52 fewer kindergarten students. There are also 28 fewer high school students — grades 8 through 12 — than last year. “What that tells us is we are seeing families move into

The school district will receive more funding from the Ministry of Education to compensate for the additional students, as the district is given $7,423 for each full-time learner. SD73 also receives supplemental funding for students in various categories, such as as students with special needs, distance learners and Aboriginal students. All told, Stretch said the district is looking at an additional $2.5 million in funding and “a very similar number on the expenses side in order to deliver the services for those additional 171 students.” On Dec. 15, the district will receive its final funding allotment for its enrolment this school year.

Kamloops and that seems to be where the growth is,” SD73 superintendent Alison Sidow told KTW. “And I think that’s a good sign in terms of a growing economy and a growing population.” She said most of the new students have come from Alberta, the Lower Mainland and other parts of B.C. Sidow said the majority of the increase is on the south shore of Kamloops, in areas such as Sahali, Valleyview and Pineview. In total, there are 14,405 fulltime students in the school district, up from 14,234 in 2017-2018. There are 5,516 high school students, 7,842 students in elementary schools (grades 1 to 7) and 1,046 kids in kindergarten.
The tentative date of Nov. 22 has been set to discuss the fate of the currently locked-up Westwold elementary. At its Oct. 29 meeting, the outgoing board of education voted unanimously to set the date for a public consultation, at which the board will hear comments and petitions regarding the district’s intent to close the school. Earlier this year, SD73 shuttered Westwold elementary when no students enrolled for the 2018-2019 school year. Westwold is about 40 minutes east of Kamloops along Highway 97. The school is right on the highway, with a large painting of a tiger on its wall.
However, the two-week timeline isn’t set in stone as the incoming board, which consists of three new members and six returning trustees, will have the final say on when the meeting is held. “We don’t like to commit the new board,” KamloopsThompson school district secretary treasurer Kelvin Stretch told KTW, adding that once the new board chair and vice chair is in place the date will be finalized. Stretch said the public meeting will be an opportunity for members of the community to share their thoughts and staff to present a report on enrolment trends ahead of the new board determining what course of action to take. School district superintendent Alison Sidow said the majority of last year’s eight stu-
dents at Westwold transferred to R.L. Clemitson elementary in Barnhartvale. The public-consultation process will give the district a better understanding of whether there is any value in keeping Westwold elementary open in the future, she said. School staff have transferred to other jobs in the district. Over the past three decades Westwold elementary’s enrolment has shrunk, moving from 64 students in 1998 to 34 in 2008 and now zero in 2018, according to assistant superintendent Rob Schoen. Interested parties are invited to submit their comments and petitions regarding the possible closure of the school. The Kamloops-Thompson school district website is at sd73. bc.ca.
More gardens will grow at Arthur Hatton A North Shore school is one of three schools in North America to win a $15,000 grant in the Nature’s Path’s Gardens for Good contest. Arthur Hatton elementary will use the money to expand on its gardening program. The school at 315 Chestnut Ave. will received the funding, as will a school in Austin, Tex., and a school in Chula Vista, Calif.
There were 150 schools competing in the contest. Students at Arthur Hatton have been part of a gardening and local food program since 2016, with a number of garden plots at the school tended to by the kids. The Gardens for Good contest was based on votes by the public and closed on Oct. 15.

ance); a community services committee (community safety and social planning, healthy Kamloops task force to focus on families, seniors and those with unique needs); a civic operations committee (review service levels, address governance issues and delve into emerging issues); and a community relations committee (maintain and enhance partnerships, including with Thompson Rivers University, Tk’emlups te Sewcepemc and Kamloops-Thompson school district).
Karpuk is new SD73 board chair MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The next chair and vice-chair of the Kamloops-Thompson school board were chosen without any opposition at the inaugural meeting Monday. Kamloops trustee Kathleen Karpuk, who was elected to her fourth term in October, was acclaimed as the new chair, as was new vice-chair Rhonda Kershaw who begins her third term as Barriere/Little Fort trustee. Karpuk was nominated by outgoing chair Meghan Wade, who despite indicating her intention last month to seek the position, decided she wouldn’t, opting instead to spend more time with family this term. Karpuk nominated Kershaw as vicechair. Each will serve one-year terms before the positions are again up for grabs. Karpuk said she was humbled by the acclamation. “It means a lot to me that I have the trust of my colleagues to lead them for this next year,” Karpuk told KTW following the meeting. Karpuk advised the board of a busy
year ahead, noting the need to address the empty Westwold elementary and continued implementation of the five-year strategic plan. Interest in challenging Wade as board chair had been apparent leading up to the meeting as both Karpuk and newly elected trustee John O’Fee were considering the position. Karpuk said she had several people approach her and ask her if she would run, citing her experience and “level-headedness.” Second-term trustee Joe Small, who acknowledged having a tense relationship with Wade, told KTW in October he would nominate O’Fee if he wanted the position. O’Fee opted not to pursue the chair, saying it didn’t seem like an appropriate time to seek the position. “When you’re new to the board, I think people [need] to get to know you,” he said, noting when he was last a trustee, he served two terms before becoming chair. Small said Karpuk has plenty of experience on the board and feels she will do a great job. Wade said that experience is the reason
she nominated Karpuk. “She knows the district, she knows the people,” Wade said. School board representatives to the B.C. School Trustees’ Association and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association were also chosen at the inaugural meeting, which yielded the lone vote of the night. Kershaw nominated Clearwater trustee Shelley Sim, who was named the board’s BCSTA representative by acclamation, but the BCPSEA representative position came down to O’Fee versus Kershaw. Sim nominated Kershaw and Chase trustee Diane Jules nominated O’Fee. Ultimately, Kershaw was voted in as the board’s BCSEA emissary by majority vote. At the start of the meeting, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley addressed the new board and administered the oath of office. School District 73’s new board consists of three new trustees — John O’Fee, Heather Grieve and Diane Jules — re-elected trustees Meghan Wade, Joe Small and Kathleen Karpuk and acclaimed incumbent trustees Rhonda Kershaw, Cara McKelvey and Shelley Sim.

DEBATING FUTURE OF VOTING SYSTEM
T
he referendum on electoral reform has been among the most polarizing (and confusing) political issues in recent memory. Ballots that have been mailed to households must be returned by Nov. 30 for the vote to count as British Columbians decide the future of how they elect their MLAs. The campaign has publicly funded sides arguing in favour and against changing our system from first past the post to one of three varieties of proportional representation. The campaign has led to serious bitterness between the two sides, with allegations of lies dressed up as advertisements countered with claims the referendum process was created to benefit those behind it — the governing New Democrats and their lifeline to power, the Greens. There is a wealth of information on the referendum for those wishing to learn more, from the Elections BC website to the information cards the agency mailed out to forums arguing for and against to KTW’s own website, which features a handy video that explains how each of the three forms of PR would work. This Thursday offers another chance for some insight when Premier John Horgan and Opposition leader Andrew Wilkinson of the B.C. Liberals square off in a 7 p.m. debate to be televised on CBC and Global. The problem with this referendum, as opposed to the comparatively straightforward STV referendums of 2005 and 2009, is that many people remain confused by the electoral system choices on the ballot. Perhaps Thursday’s debate will bring some clarity to those voters. Then again, Horgan versus Wilkinson may well echo the debates we witnessed during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, with plenty of style, but a paucity of substance. Tune in, pick up a pamphlet, contact those arguing for and against and try to make an informed decision.

Examining privilege
I
grew up in a pretty homogeneous neighbourhood and went to schools where just about everybody looked like me. That’s just the way the world was — or so I thought. Sure, I heard of the poverty in other countries and once we got TV, I occasionally saw pictures on the news of starving kids. I don’t remember when I became aware that growing up in Canada meant I was among the privileged of the world. That privilege came in many forms — economically, socially, racially. It meant access to a good education and health care, having enough money, the freedom of worship and choice of occupation. It meant access to the many physical and economic resources of this country. But there was one area where I was not among the privileged. Although I didn’t like it and thought it unfair, the assumption in my younger days was men would get better jobs, earn more money and generally have more opportunities. Today, the subject of privilege, and sometimes its sister, oppression, is a topic often raised. Thank goodness, collectively and as individuals, we are becoming increasingly aware of privilege and what it means. But speaking about privilege can cause some to react with anger. Last spring, the Gold Trail School District initiated a poster campaign about privilege to spur a discussion about societal issues. But the campaign led to such anger and vitriolic response that it was pulled. That initiative and

the subsequent reaction became the genesis of a free public forum and educational event on privilege, to be offered this Saturday at Kamloops United Church. What is privilege? Who has it? How do we get it? Or not get it? What is the responsibility of those with privilege? Privilege may be defined as unearned rights, benefits, immunity, advantages and favours that are bestowed upon individuals and groups solely on the basis of their race, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, social group or other key characteristics. Privileges are often hardest to see by those who carry them, since these privileges are usually normalized by society. The fact that not everybody has these privileges is frequently forgotten, unseen or ignored. The responsibility for addressing privilege is not equal. Privilege might be described as “intersectional,” meaning that it can cross a wide range of domains. A person might be privileged
in one aspect of life, but not in another. For instance, what if a white heterosexual male is privileged, but lacks privilege in another area because he is deaf? Whenever we hear words with “ism” or “phobia,” we can be pretty sure we are dealing with the topic of privilege (e.g. racism, heterosexism, homophobia, ablebodyism). Although some will suggest that equality for all can address the issue, in reality, equal treatment erases our differences and, in fact, promotes privilege. For instance, clearing a snowcovered ramp for wheelchair users clears the path for everyone, whereas clearing the sidewalk for most users does not. Privilege does not mean you’re rich, a bad person, have had everything handed to you or have never had challenges or struggles. Privilege just means there are some challenges and struggles you will never experience because of who you are. I invite you to ask yourself these questions as you think about privilege: When have I felt privileged? Not privileged? Do I feel defensive when a person of another race says, “white people”? Do I feel angry when people tell me I benefit from “white privilege”? Do I feel offended by the questions? Saturday’s forum will include a group of speakers and panelists. The Very Rev. Dr. Bill Phipps, former moderator of the United Church of Canada, will be the keynote speaker. The forum will take place on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St. downtown.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN — FOR A NATURE PARK Editor: I believe one of the hardest jobs the new Kamloops council faces is deciding when to follow the desires of citizens when they were asked for their opinions and when to do something else entirely. I refer to the discussion about a nature park and/or disc golf course on McArthur Island. A May staff report states: “The most popular response, by a wide margin, was to leave the property as a natural, passive area with trails and an educational component.” This was the result of a survey and two open houses. I think it is a very strange situation when city staff continues
to be directed to research mixing these activities when it is abundantly clear Kamloopsians told council what they wanted. The nature park proposed by the Kamloops Naturalist Club would be an amazing addition to McArthur Park. It would bring some equality to the North Shore, balancing Gamble’s Pond in Aberdeen and the wetlands in Dufferin. Statistically, one in five Canadians are interested in birding, whereas I could not find any statistics placing disc golf in the top 25 growth activities in North America. In addition to birders, Kamloops has a huge number of nature enthusiasts.
The Kamloops Naturalist Club is only one of many organizations catering to nature lovers, while many children participate in Nature Kids. There is always activity on McArthur Island. On a recent day at 9:15 a.m., there were moms with strollers and toddlers, cyclists, a pre-school group and walkers of all ages heading around the old golf course loop. Just think what it would be like if there was a proper nature facility there, with school children, TRU students doing research, parents and children taking breaks from competition and the large contingent of daily park users.
Just think. Then try to envision discs flying around through it all. From the beginning, I have been unable to understand why there is even a discussion about mixing the two activities. The results of the city survey and open houses are crystal clear — residents want a natural area on the old golf course. Council has the opportunity to listen to the people. If it doesn’t, we should never again wonder why people don’t vote, won’t participate in opinion surveys and are cynical about politicians. Marilyn Hannis Kamloops

Beautifying the downtown parkade came in over budget. It took forever and a day to finish the turning-lane project at the corner of Fortune Drive and Eighth Street. Work on Singh Street took forever to complete. The planned upgrade for West
Victoria Street is expected to take two years to finish. Who is doing these jobs? I hope it isn’t the city. Back in 1963, we overhauled three miles of the Fraser Highway through Surrey. Water mains, sewers and electrical infrastructure were all put underground. There were curbs and gutters added, sidewalks built and all roads paved. All this was done within six months And, while work was underway, traffic was always moving. Bruce Dahling Kamloops

Editor: One cannot help but agree with letter writer Bob Wren regarding potholes and road conditions in Kamloops (‘Show them the door, not the potholes,” Oct. 19): In doing my due diligence, I spoke with a professional road builder. He told me there are three grades of asphalt depending on the amount of oil in each grade. He contended that the city uses the third grade, which has the least amount of oil, thus causing the asphalt to dry out quickly, with no allowance to expand and contract. The result is a pothole. City crews seemed to have stopped fixing potholes at the end

Nine years for man who invaded homes IN 2017, JOHN STARK STABBED RESIDENTS IN TWO CAMPBELL CREEK HOUSES TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A man who terrorized a Kamloops neighbourhood last year, breaking into homes and viciously attacking residents, has been ordered to spend nine years in federal prison. John Stark, 32, was sentenced on Friday after pleading guilty last month to six charges stemming from a violent crime spree nearly 12 months ago. On Nov. 20, 2017, Stark broke into a home in Campbell Creek, confronted its owner, pointed a loaded handgun at him and said, “I’m going to shoot you.” A struggle ensued and Stark pistolwhipped the man’s head, then stabbed him in the face with a sharp tool. Stark then fled the
home and the bloodied homeowner called 911. Stark entered a neighbouring home and stabbed its owner twice in the chest in front of the victim’s two young children. Stark again fled and was chased by an off-duty police officer, who held him until emergency crews arrived. “Mr. Stark deliberately targeted two dwelling houses hoping to steal property and he armed himself in advance,” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Warren Milman said in delivering his sentence to a packed courtroom. “The severe and lasting impact these crimes have had and will continue to have is an aggravating factor in this case.” Court heard Stark lived a productive life until his brother’s death five years ago sent him spiralling into
addiction. On Oct. 2, 2013, David Kenneth Michael Stark, 33, was found dead in a trades-trailer that had been converted to accommodation at a logging site near Cache Creek. He was working on a road-building project at the time. John Stark became involved in a life of crime and his criminal record began in 2016. He apologized to his victims at a hearing in October. In addition to the jail time, Stark will be prohibited for life from possessing weapons and must submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database. After being given credit for time served, Stark has more than seven-and-a-half years left to serve. He will become eligible for day parole in February 2020 and full parole in May 2021.
Caron back in court Nov. 19 From A1
The previous charges — criminal harassment, uttering threats, two counts of assault and two weapons charges — stem from an alleged incident on Oct. 14, 2017, two weeks before Caron’s arrest following the G&M Trailer Park standoff. After the standoff last year, police said they were called to a home on Nelson Avenue for a reported domestic assault. Officers said they attempted to make contact with the suspect before he threatened to shoot them. Speaking to reporters following the incident, then-RCMP Supt.
Brad Mueller said the suspect emerged from the house armed with a rifle and fled in a pickup truck. Mueller said police followed the vehicle to the Mount Paul Industrial Park. where the suspect is alleged to have engaged police in multiple exchanges of gunfire. Mueller said the suspect then retreated to his family’s home in G&M Trailer Park. Police secured the area, shut down traffic along nearby Highway 5 North and Caron was eventually arrested. Avis and Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy asked for two weeks to further their discussions. Caron is slated to return to court on Nov. 19.

A Way Home — and to university JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A non-profit agency known for housing vulnerable youth now wants to educate and employ them. At its freshly painted office on Victoria Street, A Way Home Kamloops announced on Tuesday a partnership with Thompson Rivers University and the Royal Bank of Canada to provide youth with the next steps toward independence. “It really takes a community to raise a child,” A Way Home Kamloops Society executive director Katherine McParland said. RBC donated $12,500 through its Future Launch program — which helps prepare Canadian youngsters for a changing workforce — to fund a peer navigator position at A Way Home. Hired for the job is Kira Cheeseborough, who paved the way for the program after experiencing homelessness and identifying
gaps in supports while attending university. She is now working with a committee of about a dozen volunteers, including TRU faculty, WorkBC employment advisors, youth support workers and business owners, to break down barriers to education and employment for vulnerable youth. The goal is to arm youth with a variety of skills and employment aids, such as interviewing, finances, upgrading, cultural supports and community connections. In addition to RBC funding a new position, TRU has launched five bursaries valued at up to $4,000 each for atrisk of homeless youth or those who have experienced homelessness, to be handed out in partnership with the new peer navigator position. The funding comes after A Way Home last year launched an employment and education pilot project that resulted in nine youth attending post-secondary school, six youth upgrading, 11 youth
finding employment and 12 youth volunteering. A youth housing support worker detailed one success case, whom he called a “shining star.” “She is thriving,” Doug Arkinstall said. “She talks about school like she built the place.” Dwayne Geiger works in administration for TRU’s trades department and helped one youth get a fork-lift ticket, providing one-on-one mentorship after hours at the university. McParland said six per cent of youth in care achieve a post-secondary degree. In addition to the funding announced on Tuesday, she is calling on businesses to help employ vulnerable youth and TRU faculty to mentor them. For more information on the program or to help, contact McParland by calling 250-320-7837 or emailing katherine@ awayhomekamloops.com. A Way Home is also holding its annual campout to end youth homelessness on Dec. 14.

British Columbians who do not identify as male or female will have the choice to display an X as a third option in the gender field of their B.C.-issued driver’s licence, identity card, birth certificate and BC Services Card. “Since last summer, we have been working on changes to government documents in recognition and respect of people who do not identify as male or female,” said Minister of Health Adrian Dix. “Including the X gender designation on key ID is an important step in this.” The option came into effect on Nov. 1. “The lack of an alternative for those who do not identify with the male or female designation has previously resulted in cases that were being considered at the Human Rights Tribunal,” said
Attorney General David Eby. “This change is a step in the right direction to promote inclusivity for all people in British Columbia.” Government is also exploring the next steps required to move to a non-medical model of gender identity. Trans Care BC project manager Gwen Haworth hailed the change. “As a trans individual, I know from personal experience that having identification documents that reflect who I am positively affects my access to education, employment, housing, health care and much more.” Trans Care BC defines non-binary as an umbrella term referring to diverse people whose gender identity is neither female nor male.

A 49-year-old Kamloops man with no prior criminal record was sentenced Friday to three years in a federal prison for his role in a so-called crystal meth superlab — described by police at the time as the largest in Kamloops’ history when it was busted in 2015. Ikbal Shah was found guilty of possessing fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine for the purpose of trafficking following a B.C. Supreme Court trial earlier this year. He was one of a number of men arrested in connection with a meth lab uncovered by police in June 2015 at a home on Pratt Road in Barnhartvale. Shah’s home was searched in connection with the investigation. In it, police found drugs hidden inside a safe in a kitchen cupboard — 762 fentanyl pills, 276 grams of meth, 560 grams of cocaine and 42 grams of heroin, worth a total of about $48,000. Shah claimed the drugs belonged to a houseguest, but B.C. Supreme Court Justice Lisa Warren didn’t believe his testimony. The judge said there was too much evidence pointing to Shah’s involvement — including “drug jargon” in his handwriting on scoresheets and his “inexplicable” behaviour, including driv-

ing a friend to Langley without asking about the nature of the trip. “Given the large amount of potentially dangerous drugs found here, any degree of involvement attracts a high level of moral culpability,” Warren said in sentencing Shah on Friday. Warren described Shah as a “mid-level” drug trafficker and pointed to the sophistication of the operation as another aggravating factor. Another man, Joel Garrett, was convicted alongside Shah in July. Garrett was found guilty of production of a controlled substance. He was the owner of the Pratt Road home in which the
meth lab was located. Garrett has a sentencing hearing scheduled to take place early next year. A third man, Derek Sadden, was sentenced earlier this year to three years in prison after pleading guilty to one count each of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. In court, Sadden was described as the cook of the meth lab. In addition to the prison sentence, Shah will be barred from possessing firearms for 10 years and was ordered to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database.

City has Q’s on biosolids MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The City of Kamloops has submitted its queries to the Ministry of Environment regarding the province’s proposed changes to the organic matter recycling regulation (OMRR), which governs the application of biosolids. Council voted 8-1 on Tuesday to approve staff’s comments in response to the government’s intentions paper regarding proposed changes to OMRR, which is open to pubic feedback until Nov. 8. “At this point, staff aren’t seeing any unmanageable impacts to our current or future operations based on the proposed changes,” city utility services manager Greg Wightman told council. These changes include increased engagement and transitioning from a notification process to an authorization registration process for the land application of biosolids and composting operations, more engagement with First Nations prior to a proponent submitting a proposal regulated by OMRR and stronger requirements for sampling and increased technical standards. Questions from staff to the ministry surround gathering more clarifying information, such as what the specific requirements of “enhanced engagement” will be. “Right now, it’s pretty vague on exactly what enhanced engagement will look like,” Wightman told council. “In particular, what that will mean with regards to First Nations.” He said the city wants clarification regarding what groups must be consulted prior to the submission of a biosolids land application and how the dispute resolution process will look in the event certain agencies, such as First Nations and regional districts, cannot come to consensus when reviewing an application. “The intentions paper does mention engagement with First Nations, with regional districts [and] with health authorities, but it doesn’t talk about local government,” Wightman said. “Obviously, we want that ability to review these applications, so that’s one of the recommendations we’re putting forward.” Denis Walsh was the lone councillor who voted in opposition. During the meeting, he expressed the desire for municipalities to have the power to approve or oppose applications intent on entering a community. Wightman said the city’s comments ask to include the city in the authorization process. This is the government’s second OMRR intentions paper, having been in circulation since 2016 collecting public feedback. The updated regulation will apply to compost facilities and land application of organic matter and align with the agricultural waste control regulation and the contaminated sites regulation.

Pride on flag flap: other ways to support JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops Pride supports council’s decision to suspend its flag and banner program — even if it means a rainbow flag will never again rise above city hall. “There are other ways for government or city council to be supportive of equity-seeking groups through other means than raising flags,” Kamloops Pride president Kristin McLaughlin told KTW. The city suspended new applications for its flag and banner program during a closed council meeting in September. Details came to light in this week’s council agenda. The city is reviewing the policy’s legality due to concern over authority to deny flags incompatible with city values.
City staff had previously said it could evaluate applications on a case-by-case basis, but a BC Court of Appeal decision on Sept. 11 has brought that into question. The province’s highest court ruled Translink in the Lower Mainland erred in refusing a pro-life group to run anti-abortion bus ads. Essentially, if the city flies one flag — it might have to fly them all. City corporate officer Maria Mazzotta said no application locally prompted the decision by council to suspend the program. She could not speculate on a timeline for the legal review. “We are proceeding with caution,” Mazzotta said. Kamloops Pride was central to council’s decision this year to spend $4,000 on the community flag pole. Kamloops Pride was denied a request to fly a rainbow flag during
its inaugural pride parade in 2017. That led to a 300-name petition to be delivered to city hall and council later voted to erect a flag pole specifically for community groups. At that time, three council members — Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Arjun Singh and Pat Wallace — voted against the initiative, with Singh expressing concern over issues of discretion. McGlaughlin understands the city’s legal concerns and said if groups promoting intolerance can fly flags, “then the cost is too high.” “The impetus behind getting the community flag pole was really in celebration of community and equity-seeking groups,” she said. The resident who started that petition, however, is disappointed. Katlyn Blaine pointed her finger at city hall for making the issue “bureaucratic.”
She noted other communities, including Prince George, have flown the rainbow flag in the past. She is now concerned the issue has put a “target” on the backs of the LGBTQ+ community in Kamloops. “The city should be showing up and supporting us because we are part of this community,” Blaine told KTW. McGlaughlin, meanwhile, encouraged the city to provide support in other ways, including ensuring gender-neutral washrooms are available in city spaces, promoting events via social media and having council members take part in pride events. “If Mayor Christian wants to put up a big pride flag [in his window on First Avenue], that would be fantastic,” McGlaughlin said. Three community flags will be grandfathered to fly at city hall, hav-
ing been approved before council’s decision to suspend the program. One of those includes the Métis flag — blue with a white infinity symbol — which will fly on Louis Riel Day on Nov. 16. A hero to some, Riel remains a controversial historical figure who has yet to be exonerated for leading an uprising against the Canadian government. He was hanged on Nov. 16, 1885, for his role in the Red River Rebellion. “It’s an important flag to our Canadian history and Canada’s historical connection,” said Dean Gladue, president of the Two Rivers Metis Society. “I see no bit issues in regards to it.” B.C.’s flag is expected to fly from the community pole while the city’s flag and banner program remains suspended.
Possible outdoor rink locations narrowed to two The city is in the final stages of a concept for an outdoor refrigerated ice rink in Kamloops. Civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said staff have narrowed it down to two locations. “We’ve hired Urban Systems to help us with the process and a refrigeration engineer,” Putnam said. “There’s a lot of complexities involved
because you need washrooms, you need power, you need access to natural gas, where does the Zamboni go? Is it lit? Where is parking? It’s taken about eight months to get all the details for council.” Putnam said details will be coming to council during supplemental budget talks. “We’re really excited,” he said.
“We’ve narrowed down locations to two locations. You can probably guess — one would be on the South Shore and one might be on the North Shore. I won’t be giving away any details on that.” The Kamloops Outdoor Skating Association has been advocating for an outdoor ice rink. In February, the city approved a $50,000

Academic freedom investigation: TRUFA is in, but TRU brass is out CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
KTW EDITOR
editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
While Thompson Rivers University will not be co-operating with an investigation into allegations a professor had his academic freedom violated, the university’s faculty association will take part in the probe. The Ottawa-based Canadian Association of University Teachers is looking into a complaint filed by TRU professor Derek Pyne, who has been suspended by the university since June. “I cannot talk about the details of the case because the TRU Faculty Association is actively involved in representing Dr. Pyne and our normal practise is to not make any comments about this specific case,” TRUFA president Ton Friedman told KTW. Friedman said TRUFA has “very close ties” to CAUT, but noted TRUFA’s internal rules govern how they participate. “In other words, if we are asked questions by the investigators, we will do our best to answer them, but we won’t reveal anything that’s confidential,” he said. While TRU brass will not comment on the reasons for the suspension — citing privacy rights of its staff, faculty and students — Pyne told CAUT he was targeted by university administration after he published an article in the Journal of Scholarly Publishing (published by the University of Toronto) in April 2017. Pyne’s article looked into the use of socalled predatory publishers by faculty members and administrators in TRU’s School of Business and Economics. At issue is the practise of university professors paying to have their papers published in journals with dubious reputations. David Robinson, executive director of CAUT, said Pyne contacted the association
in the late summer, asking that it launch an investigation into his allegations that TRU has violated his academic freedom. However, TRU’s interim president, Christine Bovis-Cnossen, said the university will not be participating in CAUT’s investigation, arguing CAUT does not have authority or jurisdiction to probe issues covered in the collective agreement between the university and the faculty association. Bovis-Cnossen also noted no grievance related to academic freedom has been filed by TRUFA. “That would be the appropriate process to follow if TRUFA believed Dr. Pyne’s academic freedom had been infringed,” she said. To that, Friedman replied: “We’re taking every action we believe is justified given the circumstances and we’re not prepared to discuss whether this case involves academic freedom or not.” Friedman said TRUFA believes that any publications that don’t follow the normal peer-review standards tend to invalidate academic research. “So we are very concerned, as are most university faculty associations across the country, about these bogus journals,” he said. “We think that they tend to devalue what our members are trying to do, which is to bring new knowledge and perspectives to the academic community and beyond.” He said TRUFA urges its members to ensure proper peer review is part of their paper-publication process. Can journals that charge for publication, and are peer-reviewed, be considered legitimate? “It depends on the discipline area,” Friedman said. “We know that some journals will charge for what are called page costs. And that’s more common in the sciences than in other
areas. Those are perfectly legitimate. “Quite often they are charged by journals that have very elite editorial boards and have very rigorous peer review,” Friedman said, “What we are talking about are journals that are charging in exchange for a guarantee of publication, and often without any external oversight. That’s where the problem lies.” When asked if he is aware of any TRU faculty members being published in socalled blacklist journals, as alleged by Pyne in his paper, Friedman said neither he nor TRUFA has such knowledge as they have not undertaken such an investigation. “Although I should tell you that we have a series of committees that examine publication records for the purposes of tenure and promotion,” Friedman said. “Our committees have been fully informed that this is obviously an issue. I know that in certain disciplines they identify legitimate and illegitimate journals.” TRU spokeswoman Darshan Lindsay was asked if the university had a policy addressing the issue raised by Pyne, that being so-called blacklisted journals that allegedly do not have papers peer-reviewed. “Research is an independent activity undertaken by faculty,” she said. “Given the independent nature of publishing and scholarship, TRU does not monitor the publishing activity of faculty. However, there are processes built within a university system where such activity is reviewed. “For example, at TRU, divisional peer review committees and a university committee of senate review publishing credentials during the tenure and promotion process of faculty. In addition, each individual faculty council and department, with input from senate.”

Surrey council votes to get rid of RCMP, revise LRT plan Newly elected council passed motions at inaugural meeting CANADIAN PRESS
SURREY — The newly elected mayor and council in Surrey have passed motions to replace the Lower Mainland city’s RCMP detachment with a municipal police force and back out of plans for a light-rail transit link. The motions — passed unanimously after Monday’s swearing-in of the council — are the key planks of Mayor Doug McCallum’s Safe Surrey Coalition platform, as well as seven of the eight councillors elected last month. McCallum told reporters that scrapping the largest RCMP detachment in the country in favour of a municipal police force and rejecting light rail in favour of an elevated SkyTrain link are

VICTORIA — New rules to fight money laundering at provincial casinos will apply universally, British Columbia’s attorney general says. David Eby said Monday he can’t comment on private issues that occur in casinos, but stressed there are no exceptions to rules requiring gamblers to disclose sources of cash deposits of more than $10,000. Canadian superstar singer Drake posted on his Instagram over the weekend that he was prevented from gambling at the Parq Vancouver casino while he was in the city to perform two concerts. Drake called it “the worst-run business I have ever witnessed … profiling me and not allowing

Eby, who didn’t name Drake during his comments, said new rules to verify sources of cash at casinos have sharply cut suspicious gambling transactions. He said that while casino operators have expressed concerns about a financial impact on their operations, the change has resulted in a “remarkable and sharp decline in suspicious transactions, adding there’s been a reduction of about 100 times from the peak of suspicious cash transactions.

the best choices for Surrey. He said he has support for both initiatives from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and B.C. Solicitor General Mike Farnworth, and he believes the switch to municipal policing can be accomplished within the next two years at a cost to the city of about $120 million. Assistant RCMP Commissioner Dwayne McDonald, who is in charge of the Surrey detachment, has already said his officers will remain on the job throughout any changes. TransLink, the authority responsible for Metro Vancouver’s regional transportation network, issued a release Monday night saying it’s pausing work on the light-rail project while awaiting further direction from Surrey council.

Stone of the B.C. Liberal government. The decision to roll back some speed limits comes on the heels of a recent University of British Columbia study that showed an increase in fatalities, injuries, crashes and insurance claims on some of the roads where speed limits were raised to as high as 120 km/h. The decision also follows a three-year review of police and ICBC crash statistics. The decision by the B.C. NDP government will see speed limits reduced by 10 km/h on affected highways. Although the Coquihalla Highway between Kamloops and Hope has garnered its fair share of crash headlines, speed limits are not being rolled back because data showed the top three contributing factors in crashes were driver distraction, poor road conditions and driving too fast for the conditions. Parts of the Coquihalla have variable speed limits, which are set based on weather conditions. Highways affected by lower speed limits include the Sea to Sky, Trans-Canada and Island.

GREYHOUND’S FINAL RIDE
With the 4:30 p.m. bus cancelled, there was time for one last trip around the block ALEXANDRA HUNTER

DANCING AT DIWALI
ALLEN DOUGLAS PHOTOS/KTW
The Kamloops Hindu Cultural Society hosted a celebration of Diwali, the annual festival of lights, on Friday night at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre. Among the highlights were the various dance performaces.
Behind the wheel of the final Greyhound bus to Kamloops on Halloween night was Blake Moore, who was also on his farewell journey. After 39 years with Greyhound, the 63-year-old Moore retired the same day Greyhound ended service in Western Canada. After nearly 90 years of bus service, the only Greyhound route in Western Canada will be a U.S.arranged trip between Vancouver and Seattle. At 7:30 p.m. on Halloween, the bus driven by Moore arrived in Kamloops from Penticton, where Moore’s family and co-workers had greeted him. In Kamloops, Moore honked the horn while pulling into the depot on Notre Dame Drive. Two passengers got out, followed by Moore, who accepted balloons and greetings from those waiting. After chatting for a few minutes, Moore suggested everybody board the bus for “a ride around the block” before putting the vehicle to bed in Kamloops. Included among group shuffling onto the bus were former Greyhound driver Norm Rheault and wife Lorraine. Moore chose the Okanagan corridor for his last trip because his first Greyhound route 39 years ago was from Cache Creek to Penticton. He described his final journey as “awesome,” as though describing a celebration. Moore said he’ll never forget driving high school seniors from Salmon Arm to Vancouver for Expo ‘86, the world’s fair that was held in 1986. Moore recounted that as soon as one student yelled, “I can see Expo, everyone!” he could feel the bus swell with excitement and felt a sense of pride himself.
There were more “good people than disagreeable.”
— NORM RHEAULT, former Greyhound driver
He said his career was “too good a ride to have any disappointment,” noting the twin joys of his life are driving and working with people. Rheault loved the driving as well and said “there were more good people than disagreeable” that he met while at the helm of the bus. Rheault retired as a Greyhound driver after 25 years and lives in Kamloops. On Halloween night, Greyhound’s last day of operations, the front doors of the Kamloops depot were locked, with only a side door left open for the final passengers. The orange plastic seats inside the restaurant portion of the building were empty after years of being used by passengers at the depot. Other items, such as the rope barriers used for lineups, were being removed to be sold. The door locked automatically behind the last group boarding the bus. At 8 p.m. on Halloween, as the last of the children of the city were trick or treating, eight passengers boarded the 51-seat vehicle. Moore swung the blue-and-grey bus with the race dog emblem on the side onto Notre Dame Drive as he has done countless times before. But this time was different. This time, Moore signaled with the horn in what one passenger called “one last toot” for Kamloops as the bus made a farewell loop around the block. Alexandra Hunter is a student in the bachelor of journalism degree program at Thompson Rivers University.

The 17th annual United Way Homes for the Holidays tour will take place on Nov. 24 and Nov. 25. The self-guided tour, presented by RBC, is a fundraiser for the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo. Five homeowners in Kamloops have volunteered their homes to be decorated by signature designers and retailers who donate their time, expertise and products to create a unique holiday masterpiece within the tour. A festive reception follows each tour and will be hosted in a new venue this year, which will be revealed later.
“Each year, we like to change up the tour and offer unexpected extras,” said United Way executive director Danalee Baker. In addition to a reception being held at a new location, organizers have added a sip and shop stop at the Kamloops Art Gallery, where ticket holders will receive a glass of wine from Monte Creek Ranch Winery, a sweet treat compliments of Subway, a floral design workshop by Paul Jaras AIFD and an opportunity to do some Christmas shopping. “Our tour this year has some remarkable homes that are absolutely gorgeous,”
Baker said. Last year, Homes for the Holidays raised more than $28,000. The compilation of the tour is almost 100 per cent donated, including printing, graphic design, media sponsorship and raffle prizes. There are three tours over the Nov. 24/25 weekend: Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Tickets are $45 and can be purchased at any RBC Kamloops branch, at the Kamloops Art Gallery and online at homesfortheholidayskamloops.ca.

No strike on horizon in area mills MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Labour action has been avoided for the time being after the union representing 3,500 forestry workers in the Kamloops area served a 72-hour strike notice. United Steelworkers’ bargaining committee agreed to enter into mediated talks with the Interior Forestry Labour Relations Association (IFLRA) to try to hammer out an agreement. Until mediation is finished both parties are prohibited from engaging in either a strike or a lockout, said USW 1-417 president Marty Gibbons. “After we have met and worked in good faith to come to an agreement, which can be a couple hours versus a couple of months, then one of the parties is able to [dismiss] the mediator — at that point in time, either party may exercise strike or lockout,” Gibbons told KTW. Both parties are legally obligated under the labour code to bargain in good faith to come to an agreement, he said, noting there is no set timeline that must be given. “Vary rarely are mediators booked out in an hour,” Gibbons said. Wage increases and contract length continue to be major stumbling blocks, he said. Without a new collective agreement since July, USW employees at mills in Kelowna, Cranbrook and Kamloops — the Tolko mill in Heffley among them — last month voted 98 per cent in favour of a strike. Talks between the union and the IFLRA resumed this past Tuesday, with Gibbons reporting progress as a new employer proposal was tabled, removing many concessions. That progress, however, was short-lived. “After two days of attempting to find middle ground, your committee determined the southern employers needed to understand USW members were serious and served 72-hour strike notice,” Gibbons said in a bargaining update to members. The IFLRA then proposed mediation to the union, which wasn’t opposed to going that route. According to Gibbons, the parties agreed mediation will be required in order to reach a new agreement without escalating strike action. Calls to Tolko Industries were not returned. The schedule for talks moving forward will depend on the availability of the two parties and the mediator.
YKA fighter jet lands at new spot MICHAEL POTESTIO

The fighter jet at Kamloops Airport has taken its final trip. The monument was moved via crane and flatbed truck to the centre of the roundabout from its former location at the side of the terminal building. Airport operations manager Jeff Scherban said the plane was moved to give it a more prominent spot at the facility. Plans to move the jet have been in the works for most of the year as part of an effort to enhance the customer experience by making some features more visible — an initiative that included painting of the rainbow crosswalk in April in support of the LGBTQ community. “We wanted to make this [plane] more visible as well so that when people come to the airport, it’s highly visible to everybody entering and leaving the airport,” Scherban said, noting its previous location was obscured by trees.
The plane is a special part of Kamloops’ history as it is a former CF-5 training jet of the 419 Moose Squadron, whose first commander was Kamloops resident John “Moose” Fulton — the namesake of the airfield at the

Building permit numbers Security ‘strong focus’ dip slightly in October KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
NOW OFFERING ADVANCED RECHARGEABLE POWER. Enjoy a full day of listening on a single charge
Kamloops emergency management staff honoured
While the number of building permits issued was down in October compared to last year, construction continues to be strong overall for the year in Kamloops. The city saw $24 million worth of building permits issued during the sunny days of October through Halloween — a value decline of 41 per cent from the same month last year, which saw $40.8 million worth of permits handed out. The total number of permits issued in October was 142, compared to 171 last year. Broken down further for that month, $19.2 million worth of permits issued in October were residential, including one $10.5-million multi-family permit. That project is the modular housing development under
construction at 317 Tranquille Rd. on the North Shore. Commercial permits, meanwhile, were worth $3.9 million, much less than the $26.9 million in permit value issued during October of last year. The $3.9 million in commercial permits are centred largely around two industrial permits worth a collective $2.4 million. Overall, however, construction values continue to be strong — $210.6 million worth of permits issued through October compared to $183.5 million during the same 10-month period last year. The city continues to be on pace to break its record last year of $224 million worth of building permits. The city’s development director, Marvin Kwiatkowski, is expecting between $240 million and $250 million to hit the books by year’s end.
in digital plan
The city’s new information and technology manager said security is a “strong focus” as Kamloops continues work on a new digital strategy. “We have a specific area within our IT division that focuses on database and security threats, monitor software patching to make sure all of our devices and software are patched and up to date to protect against the latest vulnerabilities and hacks,” Kuldeep Bath said. Bath came to the city four months ago, bringing with him a resume of tech experience, including more than 25 years as IT director for BCLC. Bath said the city receives alerts from the provincial government about threats or warnings, though he noted an external review of its hardware will likely be done down the road.
Brandt City hosting information dealership sessions ahead of budget on the move Brandt Tractor will be moving to Dallas from the Mount Paul Industrial Park on the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc reserve. Currently located at 499 Chilcotin Rd., the John Deere dealership will be moving into a 4,000-square-foot building in the Campbell Creek Industrial Park at 8110 Dallas Dr. The date for the move is not yet known. Brandt Tractor has nearly 30 locations across the country.
Have you ever wanted to better understand the city’s finance and budgeting process? The City of Kamloops will be hosting a finance 101 session for the new city council and members of the public. “Those are public meetings and they would be available to the public to observe,” Mayor Ken Christian said. Council budget meetings will be held at 9 a.m. on Nov. 20 and Nov. 27 in council chambers at city hall. The meetings will also be streamed on the city’s
live broadcast feed, which is archived online. “The opportunity to go into the weeds, as it were, in terms of how budgets are formulated and prepared will be a good exercise for those of us that are there to adjudicate the budget, but also for the community of Kamloops to adjudicate how the budget is formulated,” Christian said. The first public budget meeting will follow, to be held in the lounge at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Wednesday, Nov. 28, at 7 p.m.

Rona store survives axe, but block plant will close MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A cement block plant in Kamloops is one of the 31 properties Lowe’s Companies Inc. is closing across Canada in a bid to streamline its business. The home-improvement company announced Monday it will close 27 stores by the end of January. It will also shutter two regional support centres in Mississauga, Ont., and St. John’s, a truss plant in St. John’s and the Rona block plant in Kamloops as part of a plan to
focus on the most profitable parts of its business. The Kamloops Rona store on Mount Paul Way is not affected by the closures. Lowe’s told KTW that one employee is impacted by the block plant closure. “Everything will be done to ensure a smooth transition and the impacted employee will be supported by our HR team,” the Lowe’s spokesperson said. Shiloh North, sales manager of the Kamloops Rona store, said the plant had not been producing blocks for more than a year.
“It’s a separate entity from us,” North said of the facility that manufactures cement slabs and blocks. Sylvain Prud’homme, chief executive of Lowe’s Canada, did not say how many employees would be affected by the closures, but said the changes will allow the company to improve collaboration between its banners to better serve customers. “Everything will be done to ensure a smooth transition until the stores are closed and Lowe’s Canada will support impacted employees, including by transferring eligible employees to other locations within our network whenever possible,’’
Prud’homme said in a statement. The retail outlets being closed include a store in New Westminster, two in Calgary, nine in Ontario, nine in Quebec and six in Newfoundland and Labrador. Only two of the locations to close are branded as Lowe’s. They are in Ontario. In addition to the 31 locations the brand is closing in Canada, Lowe’s will also shut down 20 stores in the U.S. The North Carolina-based chain currently has 68 Lowe’s and 430 Rona stores in the country — part of its network of 2,390 homeimprovement locations across North
America, including Reno-Depot, Dick’s Lumber, Contractor First and Ace locations it also owns. Lowe’s Canadian business is based in Boucherville, Que., and has more than 630 corporate and independent affiliate dealer stores. David Soberman, a University of Toronto professor specializing in marketing and retail, said Lowe’s 2016 acquisition of Rona Inc., in a deal valued at $3.2 billion, has likely fuelled some of the Canadian cuts. “They probably had too many locations,’’ he said. “This will mean people will have to drive a bit further to find a Lowe’s or a Rona store.’’
Start Here 3.0 to be featured at LinkUp 2018 TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
LinkUp is Venture Kamloops’ annual business summit featuring speakers, panels, a networking trade show and more. It’s an event geared for business owners and employers and will be held on Thursday, Nov. 22, at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. Kamloops This Week will be profiling many of the event’s speakers in the weeks to come. There are plenty of resources available in Kamloops for people who are looking to change or improve their employment situation. Maybe you’re unemployed and looking for work, or you’re unemployed and interested in starting a business, or you already have a business, but are looking to expand. While there are resources for all of the above, it’s not always obvious to those looking for the resources exactly where they should go. But a brand new program called Start Here 3.0 will look
to streamline that process — and you can find out more about it during a panel discussion at Venture Kamloops’ 2018 LinkUp Business Development Summit. “It just gives us a really clean way to refer people to the right agencies,” explained Devon Mah, employment relations co-ordinator at Open Door Group, and one of the panel speakers who will be talking about Start Here 3.0. “It’s leveraging all the strengths of the other organizations to provide wrap-around service,” he said.
Blair Gray, general manager at Community Futures Thompson Country and Jim Anderson, Venture Kamloops’ executive director, will join Mah on the panel. The Start Here 3.0 program is to be officially launched on Nov. 7. In addition to the referral process, there is a web site that will help people figure out precisely where they need to go and who they need to talk to, in order to get the next phase of their career rolling. “It’s an online portal where the prospective client just selects the things they want to know about,” Anderson said. “Based on the topics they select, the portal tells them who they should call first. It’s an opening with no wrong door.” LinkUp allows local business owners and employers to get access to information and resources that might not normally be available to them and provides them during a single-day event.

Kara Wright What piece of art did you buy? The unnamed piece was painted by Wayne in an art therapy workshop at the Canadian Mental Health Association.
What organization(s) did you volunteer with to pay for your art? I volunteered coaching triathlon clinics, organizing community triathlon races and serving as Communications Director for the Kamloops Triathlon Club.
What do you like best about the organization you volunteered for? Triathlon is a microcosm for life. It’s an opportunity to repeatedly put everything you have into reaching a goal, and fail, but get back up and try again. You don’t get to the finish line alone either, there are countless volunteers, coaches, bike mechanics, family and friends that you rely on along the way. It’s a reminder that it takes a village, and the Kamloops triathlon community is there to support you.
What do you like best about your artwork? I love the bright colours and the anarchy of it. If you’ve ever struggled with your mental health, you can probably appreciate that there is beauty to be found in the messiness of trauma and recovery. I bought this piece at a time when I was recovering from a brain injury and it helped to remind me that we are all worthy and make an impact in ways that we may never know. I hope that Wayne reads this and knows that he had an impact on me.
What do you like about the Timeraiser event? In addition to being a proud owner of Timeraiser artwork, my day job is managing business education programs for youth with Junior Achievement (JABC), a proud Kamloops Timeraiser volunteer agency. At last year’s Timeraiser, I met Cassandra Brake from Sun Life Financial and Nicholas Adams, from Kamloops Makerspace who are now JABC volunteers. They have each mentored several JABC programs, helping hundreds of Kamloops youth gain financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship skills. Now that’s a win-win-win!

Brown wins B.C. Tour, books Scotties ticket MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Team Brown is the best in B.C. The Kamloops Curling Club rink — skip Corryn Brown, third Erin Pincott, second Dezaray Hawes and lead Ashley Klymchuk — secured the B.C. Women’s Curling Tour title on Sunday with a gold-medal victory at the Sunset Ranch Kelowna Double Cash. Brown was undefeated in the Little Apple, rolling to a 4-0 record in round-robin play before dispatching Vancouver-based Lindsay Hudyma 11-5 in the semifinal round and besting Vernonbased Kim Slattery 7-5 in the final on Sunday. “Perseverance was the key to our success,” Brown said. “We got down in some games and gave up some steals we shouldn’t have, but we kept plugging away and ended up getting some big three-enders and big scores to get back into games.” The team of 20-somethings, which graduated to the women’s

circuit last season after a standout junior career, is the top-ranked B.C. rink in Canada, sitting 11th in the most-recent Canadian Team Ranking System standings with 68.12 points. Kerri Einarson of Manitoba tops the table with 215.902 points. There are three automatic qualifying berths available for the 2019 B.C. Scotties, the women’s provin-
cial championship that will run from Jan. 29 to Feb. 3 in Quesnel — one for the B.C. rink with the most CTRS points as of Dec. 1 and two for the top-two finishers on the provincial circuit. Brown has wrapped up one of those berths. The Kamloops rink will be at the Scotties based either on its standing as provincial tour champion or as the highest-ranked B.C. rink in CTRS standings as of Dec. 1. Events remain on the schedule that could see Brown leapfrogged by B.C. teams trailing it in CTRS standings. Team Brown was named Curl BC’s adult team of the year for 2017-2018, earning the nod with bronze in its first appearance at the B.C. Scotties, gold at the Western Canadian University Curling Championships and silver at the U Sports Championships. Lead Sam Fisher left a big hole when she stepped away from the team after the campaign, opting to focus on studying respiratory therapy at TRU. Klymchuk was quickly added to the roster.
There have been no signs of a sophomore jinx. The 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 quarter-final round of the Prestige Hotels and Resorts Curling Classic 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 in Calgary and was skunked financially. Sarah Wark knocked off Brown 8-3 in the championship game at the Driving Force Abbotsford Cashspiel. The silver medal was accompanied by $3,600. A semifinal exit on home ice was not ideal, but Brown still pulled in $1,300 last month at the Hub International Kamloops Crown of Curling and last weekend’s victory in Kelowna was worth $3,000. The season total sits at $13,850. Is a post-season trip to
Mexico in the cards? “It’s just nice that it’s not costing us money to play,” Brown said with a laugh. “Nothing has been planned yet. It could carry over to next season.” Next up is the Red Deer Curling Classic, which gets underway on Nov. 16. The triple-knockout event has a $35,000 purse. Brown is familiar with the pros and cons of qualifying early for provincials, having accomplished the feat last season. Having peace of mind that a spot is secured is great, but it also means the team is scheduled to be away from action for more than two months following the Red Deer event. While other rinks are duelling at provincial playdowns in December and January, developing an appetite for must-win curling, Brown will be looking for ways to stay sharp. “We’ll have to do some planning on how we’re going to manage our time off,” Brown said. “But we’re definitely happy with the position we’re in.”

Goal was gold, but WolfPack salvage bronze Justin Donaldson of Kamloops scored the goal that lifted the TRU WolfPack to a 1-0 victory over the Fraser Valley Cascades of Abbotsford in the bronze-medal game at the Canada West soccer championship in Vancouver on the weekend. UBC topped Trinity 2-0 to win gold.

Considering where they came from, winning Canada West bronze is no small feat. Knowing where the TRU WolfPack men’s soccer team could have gone may haunt its players. Justin Donaldson of Kamloops scored for TRU in a 1-0 victory over the Fraser Valley Cascades on Saturday, lifting the Pack to bronze in a torrential downpour in Vancouver. “We had a really tough start this year,” Donaldson said. “Injuries really hit us hard. We were 2-6-2 and had to pick it up. Once everyone was healthy, we started to turn it around. “No one expected us to make the playoffs. Here we are now with a medal.”

The WolfPack entered the Final Four tournament at UBC riding a six-match unbeaten streak and with a legitimate claim to being the hottest university sports team

blow. Everything had been clicking. They seemed a team of destiny. The Pack wanted to be in Vancouver again this weekend competing for a national title. “We knew it was going to be a tough game after both of us [UFV and TRU] lost yesterday,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov said on Saturday. “Our guys were ready to play
and end the season on a good note. “We dedicated this game to our graduating players. The guys really stepped up and played great.” UBC blanked Trinity 2-0 to claim the Canada West crown. Both teams will vie for gold at the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship in Vancouver this week-
end. UBC qualifies as host team and Canada West champ, Trinity as the conference’s runner-up. The York Lions, Cape Breton Capers, Montreal Carabins, New Brunswick Reds, UQAM Citadins and Carleton Ravens also qualified for nationals. The WolfPack are bidding adieu to a formidable graduating class, a group that helped the program secure its first three medals at the highest level of university soccer in Canada. TRU hosted and won bronze at the U Sports championship in 2017 and also claimed Canada West bronze last year. Mitch Popadynetz, the conference’s men’s soccer player of the year in 2017, had another outstanding campaign, leading the WolfPack with 11 points in an injuryshortened season.
He was sidelined for four games in 2018. The forward from Nelson had 17 points in 15 games last season. He represents about 18 per cent of the WolfPack’s scoring [28 of TRU’s 153 points] over the last two seasons. Popadynetz has played his last U Sports match, along with stalwart defender Finlay McPhie, from Vernon, Belgian standout Thomas Lantmeeters and Jason Staiger, a forward from Agassiz. “It would have been nice to make nationals again,” McPhie said. “But another bronze medal is good, especially after the start I had to my TRU career. “After the start we had this year, I didn’t think this year would be memorable, but it turned out to be a pretty good one.” — with files from TRU sports information

The Kamloops Storm won their fifth straight game with a 5-3 victory on Saturday over the visiting Castlegar Rebels. The win improved the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club’s record to 7-10, good for fourth in the fiveteam Doug Birks Division of the Okanagan-Shuswap Conference. Kamloops is three points behind third-place Sicamous and four points shy of secondplace 100 Mile House. Against Castlegar, the Storm were paced by Tyler Maser’s two goals and two assists and two goals and an assist from Chris Thon. Castlegar outshot Kamloops 41-39, with Storm goaltender Ethan Paulin-Hatch turning aside 38 shots. The loss left the Rebels last in the five-team Neil Murdoch Division of the Kootenay Conference, with a record of 3-12–0-2.

Secondary Schools Football Association rivalry game under the lights at Hillside Stadium on Friday. Westsyde would have advanced to the post-season with a win. Instead, South Kam triumphed 35-18 to claim the city championship and end the Blue Wave’s season. “That guy is a sensational athlete,” Titans’ head coach J.P. Lancaster said of Murasiranwa. “We prepped for him all week. He played with a dislocated finger and still got a score late. “But our linebackers [Mike MacDonald and Callum Gorman] did a good job. Everything came together.” South Kamloops executed its game plan, which centred on limiting the running back from Zimbabwe on defence and igniting an explosive passing attack on offence. The Titans did slow Murasiranwa, who pushed the Blue Wave (2-2) to the brink of the post-season, but he still scored three touchdowns and rushed for more than 100 yards. Westsyde was one-dimensional on offence, unable to get much going through the air, while the Titans (2-2) put on a passing clinic. South Kam’s Grade 11 quar-
terback, Eric Crawford, was excellent and benefitted from outstanding performances from his receivers. Ryan Zamudio was KTW’s player of the game. The wideout finished with four catches for 138 yards and three touchdowns — the Titans’ first three majors of the game. Perhaps the tilt’s most pivotal play came about halfway through the third quarter. The Blue Wave were struggling with quarterback-running back exchanges and a muffed handoff gave the Titans the ball. On the next play, South Kamloops, which led 15-6, dialled up a go route to Zamudio down the left side of the field. The pass hung in the air and turned into a jump ball between receiver and defensive back. Zamudio wrestled the pigskin away from the defender and scampered 64 yards to paydirt. “This is a rivalry game we lost last year,” Zamudio said. “I think we all played as a team and it’s just really fun. It’s amazing, but, once again, I couldn’t have done it without the boys.” The Titans came to Hillside knowing Murasiranwa could wreck the game. South Kamloops, already eliminated from playoff contention, wanted to wreck Westsyde’s season. On the Blue Wave’s first drive, Murasiranwa accepted a handoff on 4th and 1, bounced outside and tore through the Titans’ defence for a 30-yard touchdown. All the game planning looked as if it were for naught. But the Blue Wave’s onedimensional offence caught
up to them. Murasiranwa tired. South Kamloops forced turnovers and capitalized on offence. Without a potent passing game, a comeback became unlikely. South Kamloops’ hecklers became more vocal late in the third quarter, with the Titans holding a 29-6 lead and cruising toward victory. Murasiranwa was target No. 1. “Give us a smile, Darlington!” they yelled. “Hey, nice game, Darlington! Go home, Darlington!” He responded with a 70-yard touchdown run. Early in the fourth quarter, a collision left the Westsyde running back writhing in pain on the ground. Those with weak stomachs dared not look at the index finger on his right hand, which was dislocated and broken, according to medical personnel on the sideline. He was carted off, but came jogging out of the Tournament Capital Centre dressing room area in the fourth quarter with fingers taped together. Murasiranwa scored the game’s final points, his third touchdown run of the contest. “I have no words,” he said after the game, wearing openly the emotion of a devastating loss. “I love the team, man. I don’t know. It’s a family out here. The fans might hate us, but I had to do it [come back into the game] for them. I do it for my brothers. Every play is 100 per cent.” Gorman made sure his last high school football game was memorable. The Grade 12 Titan caught nine passes for 112 yards on offence and added nine tackles and two fumble
recoveries on defence. MacDonald and Per Anneman also scored a touchdown for the Titans, whose kicker, Cohen Freeze, booted one field goal and connected on two extra-point attempts. Cameron Treadwell had an interception on defence for the injury-plagued Blue Wave, who were battered by an aggressive Titans’ defence. “The effort was there,” Westsyde head coach Cory Bymoen said. “Full credit to South Kam. They deserved the game tonight. We ran out of steam a little bit. “It’s tough [to fall short of the playoffs], but, at the same time, playing next week would have been a tough chore. We were hanging by a thread coming in.” The Vernon Panthers (4-0) are the class of the Interior AA Varsity Conference. The Clarence Fulton Maroons (2-2) will join the Panthers as the conference’s representatives in the playoffs. Valleyview finished 0-4. South Kamloops, which will return a strong Grade 12 corps, plans to be in the post-season in 2019. “Next year, we want to bring it all home and beat Vernon,” Crawford said. “I’m proud of myself and I’m proud of the boys. We couldn’t do it without everybody out there.” IN THE BACK DOOR The Titans found out on Tuesday they are in the playoffs. Samuel Robertson Technical of Maple Ridge forfeited its post-season berth and it has been awarded to South Kam. The Titans will play the hometown Prince George Polars on Saturday.

Elizabeth “Betty” Stroesser (née Braun)
In Loving Memory of
June 7, 1923 - October 31, 2018
Rosaria Caputo
Betty passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of October 31, 2018 at the age of 95. Betty was born on June 7, 1923 in Yugoslavia where she lived until she immigrated to Canada with her parents in 1930.
December 1, 1953 – November 6, 2016
Wife, Mother, Nana, Zia, Cousin and Friend.
Betty was married in March 1946 to her husband Leo Stroesser until his passing in October 1958. She was predeceased by her daughter Lorraine in 1965 and leaves behind her son Leo (Pat) Stroesser and daughter Mae (Glenn) Niemi. Betty will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Doug (Holly) Stroesser, Lorraine (John) Lively, David (Sheri) Stroesser, Shane (Chris) Niemi and Kirstine (Steve) Scott as well as many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Betty came directly to Kamloops at the age of seven from Yugoslavia. After a nine day boat trip, her family arrived in Eastern Canada and made their way to Kamloops. She spent her younger years in Kamloops working for the BC Fruit Lands and living in Brocklehurst where she told her family stories of the tar paper shacks they called home. She married Leo and they had three children which she raised while working and maintaining her small piece of farmland. Betty was the truest example of hard work and dedication, she would be up at sunrise and could always be found working in her large garden on her property, moving pipes in the hayfield or tending to her greenhouse. With a progressive struggle with Alzheimer’s disease, Betty eventually moved to The Hamlets where she was one of the first residents in the facility and enjoyed her “pub nights” and dancing. Her strength and joy for life will be forever remembered by all those who were fortunate enough to have known her. Betty often told us “It’s a great life if one don’t weaken”, in response to this we know her life was then incredible. Rest in Peace now Nanny, we will forever miss you.
Though we continue to mourn without your presence, we cherish the loving memories forever in our hearts. True, our lives have changed and you will not participate in the milestones of our family. The “Kidlets” are growing. Your children are successful. Be proud as we all share one of your characteristics. We struggle, cry, and laugh...the memories of you are what drive us to be better. Your loving nature will continue to guide us. Rest, for your suffering has ended. Your eyes may be closed, but We know that YOU will continue to watch over us.
The family would like to thank the staff at The Hamlets at Westsyde. Betty will be laid to rest at Hillside Cemetery in a private family service. Friends are invited to join the family for a Celebration of Life tea from 2:30-4:30 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2018 at The Hamlets, 3255 Overlander Drive, Kamloops.

Peter is survived by his two grandchildren, from Calgary, AB, Breanna C. Robinson and Brendan R. Robinson, whom he loved dearly and was very proud of. Peter was an only child and was predeceased by both his mother and father Dorthy S. and Ralph H. Johnson of White Rock, BC. Peter was a Veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, where he spent the first 25 years of his career and continued his connection through the Rocky Mountain Rangers and the Vernon Cadet Camp.

Just an old submariner; He was just an old submariner; you see them now and then telling stories with his buddies of when they were younger men. Creative recollections of when they were strong and bold. Escapes that they recall but are best left and untold. Yet more than old submariners, they are brothers of the phin. Those whove earned their Dolphins are forever welcomed in. And when they finally cross the brow on their eternal leave all their brothers everywhere take time to mutely grieve. It’s true the flag at city hall will not fly at half mast but lots of old submariners will be thinking of the past. And reciting with his buddies as they sing the final hymn he was just an old submariner but we shall remember him.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night DYLAN THOMAS Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
