Sheltering them from the storm TODD SULLIVAN
STAFF REPORTER
todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Y Women’s Emergency Shelter has been a recipient of the Christmas Cheer Fund money since the fund’s first year in Kamloops. And this year is no exception. That’s because Gregg Drinnan, who started the fundraiser in Regina before bringing the concept with him to the Kamloops Daily News, was dedicated to supporting the work of women’s shelters — and the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter in particular. When the Daily News closed in 2014 and KTW picked up the Christmas Cheer Fund, the shelter remained a legacy charity. According to Jacquie Brand, the women who pass through the shelter’s doors are very much in need of that support. “There’s lots of barriers for the women who come here,” said Brand, who is director of programs for the YMCA-YWCA Violence Against Women Intervention and Support Services. Brand is quick to note that while the word ‘shelter’ is in the name, that’s actually an older term.
“We’re a transition house, which basically transitions women from the situation they’re in and into our house,” she said. “And then, hopefully, back out into the community with the support that they need. “But our transition house is for women and children fleeing violence or currently experiencing violence.” Though the intent is for women and families to stay in the transition house for only 30 days, it can often stretch on longer for various reasons. “If we’re thinking about women leaving trauma, that are experiencing trauma, a month doesn’t even give you enough time to address that,” said Alix Dolson who works in family support. “We try and give the women a little bit of time to just feel safe and feel supported before encouraging them to seek housing.” And once they are looking for housing, that can be another challenge in itself. “The stay is supposed to be 30 days, but that hasn’t been for a few years because of housing,” said case co-ordinator Maureen Jones. “It’s pretty hard to find affordable housing. Especially if the families are a little bit larger, it can be really difficult.
So sometimes it’s two, three months.” The money from the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund helps provide a shot in the arm for the shelter’s finances at this time of year and assists with dayto-day operations. “It has a significant impact on the house and the women and kids who stay here,” Brand said. “And I wouldn’t say it’s extras, either.” Of course, donations from the community are a big help, too. “We rely a lot on the community,” Brand said. “ On a daily basis, we get phone calls from people wanting to donate items — everything from clothing, to couches, to beds, to laundry baskets. If you’re looking to donate, but aren’t sure what would help the most, Brand pointed to gift cards as being the most versatile option. “Gift cards from Superstore, Walmart, how empowering is it for us to be able to give the gift card to the woman,” she said. “She can go to the store, pick out what she needs.” Whatever the donation, every little bit helps. “Without the community, we wouldn’t be able to help the women who stay here,” Brand said.

One-day strike in Kamloops ROTATING JOB ACTION MEANT NO MAIL DELIVERY THURSDAY CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
KTW EDITOR
editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
The rotating strikes by unionized Canada Post employees reached Kamloops on Thursday, where picket lines were up outside the corporation’s offices, meaning there was no mail delivery or collection in the Tournament Capital. The union and the postal service have been unable to reach new collective agreement since the deal for rural and suburban letter carriers covering 8,000 members, expired Dec. 31, 2017, and the contract with about 42,000 urban workers expired on Jan. 31, 2018. Another round of mediation this week has yet to result in a deal. A picket line outside Canada Post’s Dalhousie Drive sorting station greeted commuters on a cold Thursday morning. “Overburdening, overwork and overtime,” is what letter carrier Lara Plummer told KTW when asked on the picket line to explain the job action. “The post office is now run through a system of overtime, so now everyone has to do overtime. We can’t get people to work anymore for $20 an hour, so it’s just too much work.” Plummer is past-president of the Kamloops local of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and has been a letter carrier for 25 years. Others on the picket line cited wages as a major issue, with one letter carrier noting her hourly wage has not kept up with inflation through the decades. Another letter carrier said he is concerned about working conditions, noting he is hampered by an injured shoulder during his daily rounds, with mailbags sometimes

exceeding 35 pounds. Other issues cited by the union include job security, better health and safety measures, service expansion and pay equity for its rural carriers. Plummer said a full strike is possible if mediation this week again fails to find common ground. If that happens, she hopes the federal Liberal government does not emulate its Conservative predecessor and legislate employees back to work. Federal Minister of Labour Patty Hajdu has extended the appointment of Morton Mitchnick as a mediator through Friday in an effort to have the two sides reach a negotiated collective agreement. Canada Post has issued a statement on its website, warning of delays in mail delivery due to the rotating job action. “The union’s escalating strikes

continue to cause backlogs in our national, integrated delivery network,” the statement reads. “As a result, customers could see delays of several days. Mail and parcels will not be delivered or picked up in impacted areas while the union continues their strike activity.” A statement on Canada Post’s website reports that since Oct. 22, CUPW’s rotating strikes have now shut down Canada Post’s operations in more than 125 communities across the country. Kamloops is one of 31 communities across Canada in which postal workers are on strike on Thursday. In B.C., picket lines are also up in Cranbrook, Penticton, Vernon, Williams Lake and Quesnel. Employees in Kamloops are expected to be back on the job on Friday.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Planning a Purchase? Know the FIVE C’s of Borrowing Money Purchasing a home is a major decision; it represents the single largest purchase a family will ever make. So when it comes to qualifying for home financing, what should you know? Here are the 5 C’s important to the bank: Capital – How much do you have to put down for the purchase of your new home? The larger the down payment, the less risk you present to the lender. 5% is the normal down payment required to purchase a home in Canada. However, if your credit is good, there are a few lenders who can gift you the down payment in return for a higher mortgage interest rate. Having no down payment is not always a limitation. Capacity – Is your income sufficient to support the repayment of the requested loan amount? Most lenders will allow about 40% of your income to go towards housing costs and debt. The housing and debt calculation looks like this: monthly debt payments plus housing costs plus heat plus ½ strata fees if applicable must be under 40% of gross income. Be aware:
Monthly debt payments includes: car loan, credit card, lease payments, etc. Housing costs include mortgage and taxes for all your properties Heat is usually estimated between $85 to $100 per month
Credit – Is the financial institution confident that you will pay them back? Credit is the evaluation of your habits when it comes to borrowing. If you have never taken out a loan or used a credit card, you may be surprised to find out you have no credit rating at all! A credit check reports your credit history and provides a numerical score based on your habits of borrowing and repaying debt (0 to 900, 900 is best). Collateral – Will the real estate purchase offer suitable collateral to the lender? In the event of a default, the lender will sell your collateral to recoup their loan plus foreclosure expenses. So, lenders will do their homework to ensure the property is in good condition with good resale value. They may not always agree with your purchase price. In some cases, lenders will require an appraisal. Character – What kind of impression do you make? Character is your reputation and reliability. The bank may not have had prior dealings with you, so how do they determine your character? The lender will often look at your: •Assets/ Debt/ Net worth – How have you spent your earnings? What do you have to show for it? •Educational background and work experience You may not be aware that people with a transient job history or address history are seen as less reliable than someone who has been in a home or job for 20 years. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca

KELOWNA CAPITAL NEWS
A former Kamloops deputy sheriff caught in a 2016 Creep Hunters sting will serve a one-year conditional sentence with four months’ house arrest. Kevin Johnston, 50, was arrested after he travelled to Kelowna from his then-home in Kamloops to attempt to arrange a potential sexual encounter with someone posing online as a 14-year-old girl. He will serve his sentence at his home on Vancouver Island, where he now lives. The sentence, for one count of breach of trust by a peace officer, was handed down Tuesday in Kelowna provincial court by judge Michelle Daneliuk and came after lengthy negotiations between Crown and defence lawyers. Three original charges of communicating with a person believed to be underage for the purpose of facilitating a sexual offence, as well as one count of invitation to sexual touching, were dropped. In the end, Johnston pleaded guilty to breach of trust by a peace officer in connection with his high-profile arrest in 2016 in Kelowna following a vigilante sting operation. Outside court, Johnston’s lawyer, Jeremy Jansen, said the decision was expected given that it was a joint submission by defence lawyers and Crown Counsel. “He’s pleased to have this behind,” said Jansen of his client, noting Johnston plead guilty to just single lesser count charge, not to any sexual charges. “Those were all dropped,” he

added. Johnston was employed in Kamloops as a deputy with the B.C. Sheriff Service when he was arrested. According to an earlier agreed statement of facts filed in court, Johnston began communicating online with an adult woman portraying herself as a teenager as part of a vigilante group, Creep Hunters, aimed at exposing potential sexual predators online. “In the month of August 2016, at a time when he was serving as a sheriff, Mr. Johnston engaged in a series of communications with Jennifer Carter,” the document states. “Those communications are the subject matter of the case before the court. Mr. Johnston engaged in those communications while off-duty, but invoked his status as a sheriff and peace officer.” According to the document, Carter was portraying a girl named “Steph” when she began communicating with Johnston. “In those communications, Mr. Johnston turned the conversation to sex,” the agreed statement of
facts reads. “He sent two pictures of his penis and a full-frontal nude shot to Steph. He told her that he was a sheriff in Kamloops and sent photographs of himself in uniform and pictures of himself in the locker room at work.” The messages began on Aug. 8, 2016, and concluded less than three weeks later, when Johnston drove from Kamloops to Kelowna to meet a person who he thought was Steph. Johnston was confronted by members of Kelowna Creep Hunters at a strip mall where he thought he would be meeting Steph. The confrontation, on Aug. 27, 2016, was videotaped and posted online. Carter contacted Kelowna Mounties and gave a statement about her interactions with Johnston and described how the conversations turned sexual in nature. Johnston’s conduct violated the Deputy Sheriffs’ Code of Conduct, the court heard last month, which prohibits a deputy from using his or her position to advance “private interests” and becoming “engaged in any activity that may result in criminal charges or convictions.” Johnston had been employed as a deputy sheriff for 12 years at the time of his arrest. He was suspended after the allegations were made public and resigned within a week. Special prosecutor Brock Martland and defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen pitched a joint submission for sentence, which would see Johnston placed on four months of house arrest.

Operation Red Nose enters 22nd year KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The 22nd annual Operation Red Nose campaign will be taking passengers in Kamloops from Nov. 30 to Dec. 31. The safe-ride service — operated via donations, with proceeds locally going to PacificSport to support amateur athletes and youth programs — is again aided by ICBC and sees volunteers drive people and their vehicles home. Operation Red Nose will operate in 102 communities across Canada, including 11 in B.C. Last year, Kamloops was again the No. 1 performer in the province, with volunteers
completing 1,338 rides during 18 days of service. This year, volunteers will cover 15 nights of safe rides home beginning Nov. 30, nearly doubling the number of nights most other cities are able to provide. Operation Red Nose will be running on Nov. 30, Dec. 1, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31. Hours of operation will be from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Thursdays and from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The number to call when the service begins is 250-372-5110. So far, the organization has 60 volunteers on board and is hoping for that number to
balloon to 250 before drivers hit the road. New volunteers must get a criminal record check through the RCMP, but volunteers returning from last year need only complete a Red Nose application form. Application forms can be found at the Tournament Capital Centre, ICBC claims centre, Volunteer Kamloops and Desert Gardens. They can also be found online at operationrednose.com. For more information on the process, and to volunteer, contact Shanon Guglielmini by phone at 250-320-0650 or by email at kamloops@operationrednose. com.

FROM HOPE TO NOPE IN THE PMO
W
hat is it about power that often leads a person to become what he or she once mocked? We see it in politics again and again as an opposition member in Ottawa or Victoria rightly calls out the government on a matter, only to later emulate the government’s stonewalling tactics when said member’s party is elected to govern. A textbook example of this disregard for the taxpaying public was on full display this week in Ottawa, courtesy of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The prime minister was asked by Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre whether the carbon tax levied on provinces that do not already have such a tax will have a sales tax added. In other words, as Poilievre said, will there be a tax on a tax? (In B.C., there is. Check your Fortis bill and you will see the carbon tax is then taxed with a five per cent GST levy.) Poilievre asked that question four times and each time Trudeau refused to answer, instead delivering long-winded soliloquies on climate change while the Liberal MPs behind him banged their desks and clapped their hands like trained seals. Trudeau’s refusal to give a simple answer to a question that affects all Canadian taxpayers is an insult to those he purports to serve. When elected in 2015, Trudeau said governance in Canada would change, that “sunny ways” were on the way. During his victory speech, he said: “This is what positive politics can do. This is what a positive, hopeful, a hopeful vision, and a platform and a team together can make happen. As I’ve said many times over the course of this campaign, conservatives are not our enemies, they’re our neighbours.” It seems Trudeau has since moved from that neighbourhood. It is sad, but not surprising, to see a politician go from hope to nope. Trudeau’s message during that 2015 campaign was that Canada deserves better. That is the message the public needs to send to the prime minister today.

Referendum questions
T
hree phone calls this week to my direct line here at KTW were from people asking specific questions about the referendum on electoral reform. Each of the three callers had received the envelope from Elections BC in the mail. Each had opened the envelope and looked at the information. And each had called to ask if I could answer a question regarding what they saw as a bewildering ballot. One caller was determined to vote in favour of proportional representation, but could not understand where Kamloops would fall under the rural-urban option. Nor could I, so I directed her to Fair Vote Kamloops for clarity. It turns out we don’t know how we in Kamloops would vote under a rural-urban PR system as the decision as to which regions are considered urban and which are considered rural will not be made until after the referendum. If a person truly likes the sound of the urban part of ruralurban (MLAs elected under an STV counting system), but is not so warm to the rural part of rural-urban (MLAs elected under a mixed member system), how are they to mark their ballots? Granted, voters need not choose one of the three options; they can simply check first past the post or proportional representation and mail the ballot. But there are those — including the lady on the phone — who
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS want to pick an option, but remain confused about how that option will be implemented. I could answer the second question, but the third question — regarding the specifics of mixed member proportional representation — left both of us scratching our heads. If you have read the voter information pamphlet that landed in your mailbox, mixed member is one of three proportional representation options in which both first past the post and PR is used. District MLAs (for example, the Kamloops MLA) would be elected under FPTP, but regional MLAs would be selected from political party lists, with the total number of MLAs allocated based on the party’s share of the popular vote. But we won’t know until after the referendum whether we will cast two ballots (one for a candidate and one for a party) or one ballot for both. Nor do we know whether the regional MLAs will come from an open party list, a
closed party list or some other form of a list. First past the post has its warts, the primary one being that it does not completely reflect voters’ choices via seats in the legislature. But this particular referendum is indeed confusing, a fact highlighted by the calls to my office, emails received and general conversation with various people. To say the rollout of this referendum has been messy would be accurate, but the deed has been done and ballots will be counted after Nov. 30. As of Thursday, only about one per cent of ballots had been returned to Elections BC, but that means nothing. The same stats were reported during the 2011 HST referendum mail-out period, yet the final voter turnout was 53 per cent — about 20 points higher than the participation rate in a Kamloops civic election. According to Mainstreet Research poll released on Thursday, the referendum is a toss-up, with the firm saying this is shaping up to be the closest referendum in B.C. history. Its survey data has 50.5 per cent of respondents in favour of keeping first past the post and 49.5 per cent siding with a proportional representation system. Perhaps Thursday night’s televised debate between Premier John Horgan and B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson moved those numbers. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MCARTHUR ISLAND IS NOT A GRAVEL PIT Editor: Despite doing the required research before presenting its recommendation to council on use of the former McArthur Island golf course, I believe the city’s park and recreation committee missed a fundamental point. The park in Langley used for disc golf, which was visited by the committee, had its origins in a gravel pit. McArthur Island is a natural setting sculpted mostly by nature. It seems to me that walking through an area throwing discs at baskets would be better suited for a gravelly landscape. Kamloops has a lot of similar landscapes in the surrounding areas from which to choose.
We don’t have nearly as many MacArthur Island ecosystems close to town. I have also come to realize that trying to convince a disc golfer to change his or mind over the importance of where they throw their discs is, in many ways, the same as trying to convince a hockey supporter to see how an arena is not the same as a centre for the performing arts. I was pleased to read in KTW that the Kamloops Naturalist Club is preparing a dissenting report. I hope our newly elected council debates this issue further so we know where each of our council members stand. Bohdie Markowsky Kamloops
FIX THE INTERSECTIONS AN AWARD-WINNING ESSAY Rachel Bliss, a Grade 6 student at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, placed in the top 10 across Canada in the most recent Remembrance Day Literary Contest, sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion. Bliss’s essay, The Story of Lou, won first in her school, ºfirst in the district, first in the zone and was chosen as B.C.’s junior entry as it advanced to judging in Ottawa, where it received honourable mention. The story has special meaning as the essay was about her Nonno — Grandpa Luigi Russo.
Editor: I watch people in wheelchairs and walkers try to use the Victoria Street and Third/ Fourth avenue intersections with great difficulty. The sidewalks are barely wide enough. The city needs to upgrade these intersections like it did at Lansdowne Street and Third Avenue. I watch as disabled seniors try to make it from these narrow sidewalks onto the street.
It is worse in the winter months, when icy conditions mean seniors need help getting across the streets. Last winter, I saw a woman fall as she tried to cross the street with a walker. The city needs to fix these intersections before someone gets seriously hurt. Winter is already upon us. Ron Engen Kamloops

Osborne House to open next week TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The first of three new supportive housing projects aimed at reducing the number of homeless on Kamloops streets is slated to open next week. Osborne House, located at 805 Mission Flats Rd., will welcome its first residents on Tuesday. “I’m very happy to be here,” said Robert Sedore, one of 54 residents slated to move in next week. “This is going to be a good home for me.” The project came together quickly, according to Ann Howard, regional director of BC Housing. “It came together in record time,” she said. “I don’t think there was another project in all of B.C. that happened so fast.” Osborne House will be managed by the ASK Wellness Society, whose executive director, Bob Hughes, teared up while talking about the void in the community the project will fill. “This is one of the most ambitious projects this organization has ever been involved with,” he said. “Six weeks ago, this piece of land was just that — there was no power, no water. … This was something that I didn’t think
could have possibly been done. “People literally changed the course of their fall work to do this. This is all because winter was coming and people had nowhere to go.” Osborne House is named for Donnie Osborne, a longtime Kamloops resident who lived in supportive housing prior to his death in 2016. It was built in partnership with Horizon North and is made up of repurposed work camp trailers. Residents will pay $375 monthly for rent, which includes three meals a day prepared on-site. The building includes common areas for socialization, a health centre and a laundry room. Rooms were offered based on the results of vulnerability assessments conducted by local community agencies, including ASK Wellness. When it was announced, the Mission Flats project was described as temporary. But, according to site co-ordinator Michele Claudepierre, that may not be the case. “It’s three years for sure, kind of while that more permanent modular stuff is being built, then with a possibility of a fourth year or a fifth year,” she said. “But who knows? Maybe this could stay forever and this could be almost a landing spot for people to get into some-
thing a little more permanent.” The location of Osborne House is not without its challenges. Claudepierre said the project’s distance from downtown and the Tranquille corridor could cut both ways for residents. “It’s good to get people out of that downtown core and North Shore, but transportation is going to be an issue,” she said. Mission Flats Road was not constructed with pedestrian traffic in mind, though city crews were out on Thursday painting crosswalks on area roads, apparently in anticipation of Osborne House’s opening. ASK plans to operate a shuttle service to and from the site and Claudepierre said residents will never be left stranded elsewhere in the city. Osborne House is one of three supportive housing projects in the works. Another is under construction on Tranquille Road and the third is slated to rise on West Victoria Street. Howard said she is excited to see the project complete. “Each resident has their own door, a lock to their room and, when they go to bed at night, they don’t have to worry about someone stealing their stuff or beating them up,” she said.

Found postcard the final letter of Kamloops soldier NORMAN STUART HARPER WROTE WHAT MIGHT BE HIS LAST WORDS TO HIS MOTHER 100 YEARS AGO SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
K
atie Berger was in an antique shop in Monroe, Wash., a small city 35 kilometres northeast of Seattle, when her interest in history was set off by a pile of photos and cards. Looking through it, something caught her eye — a postcard, handwritten with an address she could make out. It was dated 1918. Intrigued by the subject matter — a soldier’s letter home to his mother — Berger paid a dollar for the postcard and took it home to investigate further. With a simple search for the soldier’s name online, Berger found what she was looking for in a Kamloops This Week article published in June. That soldier was Norman Stuart Harper, a Kamloops man shot down in Germany 100 years ago during the First World War. As it turns out, the postcard may also have been the man’s final correspondence. “I was really shocked, actually, because I’d never found something that easily before,” she said of her online search. “It was the first hit.” Berger, who holds multiple degrees in history, has on occasion done this sort of thing before. She built up a small collection of old photographs and historical ephemera, collected from antique shops such as the one in which she found the postcard. “Unfortunately I lost those in a theft,” she said. “I haven’t really been looking for these much since then, but recently I started getting back into doing it.” Berger said she was sad to learn the man did not survive the Great War, especially consid-
Katie Berger found this postcard in an antique shop in a small city outside Seattle where she lives. It is the last known correspondence sent by a Kamloops soldier who was shot down over Germany 100 years ago during the First World War.
ering peace came less than five months after his death. But she is glad she had a chance to learn his story. “It was incredible. There’s something about finding these things that connects you to people you otherwise would not have known,” she said. After Berger contacted KTW with news of the postcard find, KTW reached out to John Stuart (Stu) Harper — the nephew of the Kamloops man shot down who told his story to this newspaper in June and arranged for a commemorative plaque to be displayed at the Kamloops Royal Canadian Legion. “It’s really neat,” he said. “It really is. Especially something like this.” Along with his own career as a soldier, Stu also worked in the philatelic industry for 10 years and, during his own search for information on his uncle, reached out to stamp dealers, asking them to keep an eye out
for postcards or letters addressed to his relatives. “I never got one thing,” he said. “Not one — and I handled a lot of material myself, too.” Although that search was unsuccessful, Stu did manage to find out a great deal about his uncle — and the postcard presents a new piece of the puzzle he has been putting together for years. It also presents even more questions. The postcard was written by Norman Stuart while he was in a Canadian field hospital in London and sent on May 6, 1918.
The date on the card and the fact Norman Stuart was in hospital lines up with other evidence uncovered during the search for more information about Norman Stuart undertaken in the 1980s. A 1983 letter written during the course of that search reveals Norman Stuart was known to be in hospital between — Katie Berger May 3, 1918, and May 27, 1918, and mentions how he got there. “From Salisbury, England, flying to St. Omer with a rough landing in a ditch put him in the hospital,” the letter reads. “He made very light of his

”
being in the hospital there,” Stu said, noting his toughness. He provided other insights, noting the Gordon mentioned in the postcard is Norman Stuart’s brother, who survived the war and later returned to Kamloops for a short time. “They would meet up occasionally in England sometimes — and when their father found out that Stuart was missing in action, he wrote several letters trying to get the Canadian government to search for his son and get the military to second Gordon for the search,” Stu said. Definitive news of Harper’s death did not come until the early 1920s, when his body or grave site was first discovered. As for how the postcard ended up in Seattle? Stu has no idea, but he speculated it might have been from one of his uncle’s siblings who moved south of the border. “We’ll probably never know the answer to that,” he said.

LIEUT. STEWART HARPER IS MISSING
Mrs. J. M. Harper received a telegram on June 30th to the effect that her son, Lieut. Stewart Harper of the Royal Flying Corps was missing and today she received another telegram from Ottawa Military authorities confirming the report received from London. This will be sad news not only to the family but to the whole community who knew Stewart Harper so well, but of course the fact that he is missing does not mean that he has suffered the supreme sacrifice. The probabilities are that his machine came down in the enemy’s line and that he is a prisoner in consequence. The treatment extended by the Germans to prisoners from the flying corps is far different to that extended to any from the other ranks. July 2, 1918 The Kamloops Standard-Sentinel

Who was Norman Stuart Harper? Norman Stuart Harper, who went by his middle name Stuart, was shot down during a bombing mission over Lahr, Germany, on June 25, 1918. The bomber group he was in was attacked by the enemy and his plane was struck in the radiator. Norman Stuart and his co-pilot and gunner, D.G. Benson, a fellow Canadian, were killed. The Germans, who were known at the time for their better treatment of members of the British Royal Flying Corps, gave the two Canadians a funeral with full military honours. British officers from a nearby prisoner of war camp attended. News of the airman’s death, however, did not reach Kamloops for some time. A frontpage article in the July 2, 1918, edition of The Kamloops StandardSentinel says his mother Elizabeth, then noted only as Mrs. J. M. Harper, had received a telegram saying that he was missing. It was assumed, at the time, that
he had become a prisoner of war. She did not know that her son had been buried two days earlier. Norman Stuart’s death, at the time, was likely not a surprise to some. As noted by the soldier’s nephew, Stu Harper, the average Allied pilot lasted just 11 days, with many killed during training. Norman Stuart, however, lasted at least two months in the air. Furthermore, the aircraft Norman Stuart was flying was known to be underpowered. As Stu understands it, the plane Norman Stuart was flying, an Airco DH.9 biplane, was intended to have a much more powerful engine, but wartime demands meant the supply was needed elsewhere and builders turned to a backup engine, which left the plane sluggish in the air. He called it a “flying coffin.” It’s not clear how Norman Stuart came to be a First World War pilot with the British Royal Flying Corps, but some say it is likely he
and his co-pilot were among the first Canadians shot down over Germany. Norman Stuart’s family back at home included his father James Milne Harper, who was the commanding officer of the local B.C. Horse squadron and owner of a dry goods store in the city, and his mother, Elizabeth Walker Harper. His brother Gordon served concurrently in the First World War and survived. The family is not related to the ranch and ski hall family also from Kamloops. Norman Stuart was originally buried in Lahr but was later moved to the Niederzwehren Cemetery in Kassel, Germany, next to his co-pilot Benson. The two pilots’ names were posthumously lent to a branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in Lahr when it was searching for a new name in the 1980s, christened the Benson and Harper Branch 002, Lahr. The Canadian Forces based in Lahr closed in 1994.

That person, in turn, allegedly demanded a payoff of 50,000 euros to prevent the release of those pictures, leading Clement to inform the RCMP, which he said is now investigating to try to determine who is responsible for the extortion attempt. McLeod described Clement’s actions as a “significant and very bad lapse of judgment. “I feel very badly for his family, who are going through a very difficult time,� McLeod said of Clement, who is married and has three children.

When asked by reporters in Ottawa if he thinks Clement was targeted because he sits on that committee, Scheer said it wasn’t for him to speculate what motivated the person behind the extortion bid. McLeod said she would not speculate on that possibility. “Obviously, it’s a big enough concern that we have security agencies and the RCMP doing an investigation and I think we need to see what comes out of that investigation,� she said.

PLATINUM IS THE WORD
McLeod: ‘Never again’ are words that strike home MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Cathy McLeod said it was a powerful moment in the House of Commons on Wednesday when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized for Canada turning away Jewish refugees fleeing persecution in 1939. “I think the prime minister and all the leaders spoke very eloquently to the tragedy of the MS St. Louis and I think the words ‘never again’ have to strike
home, especially in light of the recent shooting in the synagogue in the U.S.,” McLeod, the Conservative MP for KamloopsThompson-Cariboo, told KTW. In 1939, the MS St. Louis, carrying more than 900 German Jewish passengers fleeing Nazi violence, tried to dock in Halifax, but passengers were denied asylum by then-prime minister Mackenzie King. The ship sailed back to Europe, where hundreds died in the Holocaust. Some surviving passengers were in the House of Commons
to hear the apology and opposition party responses. “Canada turned its back on you, but today Canadians pledge, now and forever, never again,” Trudeau said. Between 1933 and 1945, Canada admitted just 7,000 Jews — the fewest of any of the Allied countries, Trudeau said. He said the Oct. 27 attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue, where a gunman shot and killed 11 people simply because they were Jewish, shows anti-Semitism still exists in society.

Video urges all drivers to brake for buses MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
In order to address concerns from bus drivers, the KamloopsThompson school district has produced a 30-second public service announcement as part of its #brake4buses campaign. “It’s a powerful, impactful video,” said Art McDonald,the school district’s director of facilities and transportation. “We made it to share, to share with each other, to share with other school districts. It’s an important message for all of us who care about the safety of children.” For Sherry Kristjanson, manager of transportation for the district’s fleet of school buses, the message hits home. Every day, she said, one of the 80 bus drivers she oversees describes a close call they have experienced. “Our drivers have seen some scary near misses,” Kristjanson said. “Sometimes it’s because people are in a hurry or they are not paying attention, but it doesn’t matter what the excuse is. You have to stop when you approach a school bus that has its red lights flashing.” She noted dozens of motorists fail to stop when a school bus has its flashing red lights on, despite the six-foot swing arm. The video, which was produced in September by Joy Factory Films, has been posted to the Association of Schools Transportation Services’s home page. “Drivers failing to stop for the flashing red bus lights is an issue throughout the province,” said association president Robyn Stephenson. “With nearly 120,000 children riding buses to and from schools in

MP wants to consult women, social media companies about online behaviour KRISTY KIRKUP
CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Women and social-media companies should be brought into a critical discussion about how parliamentarians conduct themselves online, says veteran NDP MP Nathan Cullen. Many MPs insist that what they say and do on social media is personal, not part of their professional lives, Cullen said Thursday, but said he simply doesn’t buy it. Parliamentarians get training that focuses on their day-to-day interactions with other parliamentarians and staff, he said, but it doesn’t
include enough material on what appropriate online behaviour looks like. “This aspect of liking (online images), trolling, I don’t recall it being talked about,’’ Cullen said after the social-media activity of former cabinet minister and longtime MP Tony Clement came under further scrutiny in Ottawa on Thursday. “It is another layer but it is striking. This is not the first online sexual story that’s happened.’’ Speaking with women about patterns they observe and how they feel targeted would be valuable, Cullen said. Companies like
Facebook, Twitter and Instagram could also help, he added. “They’re dealing with this as companies and organizations and could be a part of the conversation as to what they’ve seen,’’ Cullen said. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer kicked Clement out of the party caucus on Wednesday after revelations that he’d shared sexually explicit images with someone who later tried to extort him for money. Clement issued an open letter to his Ontario constituents on Thursday to apologize to anyone who felt he crossed “online boundaries’’ in a way that made
them feel uncomfortable, without his knowing. Clement also admitted he engaged in inappropriate exchanges during a time of “personal difficulty and weakness,’’ his actions crossed lines that he shouldn’t have crossed, and he engaged in acts of infidelity. “I am deeply sorry,’’ he wrote. “I want to be clear that at no time have these personal lapses impacted or involved my day-to-day work as a member of Parliament on behalf of our communities. That said, I offer you no excuses for my conduct. I take full responsibility.’’
Vancouver police warn of man who abducted, then returned a B.C. boy VANCOUVER — Vancouver police have issued a public warning about a high-risk offender moving into the city who was at the centre of a highprofile abduction case in 2011. Police say Randall Hopley, who is 53, still poses a risk of significant harm to the safety of young boys. Hopley has served his entire six-year sentence for breaking into a home in Sparwood, B.C., in September 2011 and abducting
a three-year-old boy only to return him four days later physically unharmed. Vancouver police say the Correctional Service of Canada has assessed Hopley as a high risk for violent and sexual re-offending. A federal parole board ruled last year that Hopley should finish his sentence in jail because he was still likely to harm a child, hadn’t participated in rehabilitation programing and wouldn’t

WASHINGTON — A look at some of the more diverse faces headed to Capitol Hill following Tuesday’s midterm elections in the United States: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, is Latina and the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. She crushed Republican challenger Anthony Pappas in their battle for a House seat in New York following her decisive upset primary win earlier this year over incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley. Deb Haaland, a member of the Pueblo of Laguna, carried the Democrat flag in a New Mexico district to become one of the two first Indigenous women ever elected to Congress. The other is Democrat Sharice Davids, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and former mixed martial arts fighter, who bested fourterm Republican incumbent Rep. Kevin Yoder in Kansas. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, an Ecuadorian immigrant in Florida, narrowly defeated Republican rival Carlos Curbelo for a House seat by capitalizing on her opponent’s pledge to repeal the Affordable Care Act. She also described a spartan childhood as a recent arrival in the U.S., working her way through high school while her mother worked two jobs and studied English on the weekends. Jared Polis, previously a Colorado member of the House of Representatives, became the first openly gay man to be elected a U.S. governor, defeating Republican gubernatorial nominee Walker Stapleton. “Take that, Mike Pence,’’ Polis enthused in his victory speech Tuesday night, a reference to the vicepresident’s opposition to gay rights.
Polis joins Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, who identifies as bisexual and was re-elected Tuesday as America’s first openly LGBT governor. Rashida Tlaib, born in Detroit to Palestinian parents, became one of two Muslim women elected to Congress for the first time when she cruised to an easy House victory in Michigan, claiming more than 88 per cent of the vote. She joins Ilhan Omar from Somalia, who bested Republican challenger Jennifer Zielinski in Minnesota’s 5th district. “Congratulations to my sister Rashida Tlaib on your victory,’’ Omar tweeted. “I cannot wait to serve with you, inshallah.’’ Young Kim, a Republican, became the first-ever Korean-American woman to be elected to Congress after a narrow battle with Democratic challenger Gil Cisneros in California’s 39th congressional district. Prosecutor and state senator Jennifer Wexton, 50, a mother of two, led a charge of female Democrat candidates, unseating Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock in a pivotal Virginia district by playing up her opponent’s voting record as evidence of an alliance with Donald Trump. Nearby, Virginia Democrat Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA operative, upset Republican Rep. Dave Brat. Republican Marsha Blackburn, an unabashed conservative and ally of Donald Trump, became Tennessee’s first-ever female senator, defeating former governor Phil Bredesen. And Arizona was electing its first female senator, although it wasn’t quite clear Wednesday who it would be: former fighter pilot Martha McSally, a Republican, was clinging to a 16,000vote lead over Democrat Kyrsten Sinema, who is openly bisexual.

U.S. MIDTERM RESULTS BRING NEW SOURCES OF TRADE UNCERTAINTY FOR CANADA JAMES MCCARTEN
CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump must have been spoiling for a fight Wednesday when he woke up to a harsh new political reality: a divided Congress, newly empowered Democrats and maybe even a powerful new presidential challenger. While a surge of opposition didn’t swamp the Senate, where the Republicans actually made gains, Democrats turned the tide in the House of Representatives, forming a majority that gives them more power to subpoena cabinet members, investigate the president’s ties to Russia and compel the release of the his tax returns. But to hear Trump tell it, the midterms represented an “almost
total victory’’ for his party. By turns conciliatory and combative, Trump put on a vintage performance Wednesday in the East Room of the White House — listing Republicans who lost after rejecting his campaign help, sparring angrily with reporters and offering to work with Democrats only if they stand down on their investigative threats. “They did very poorly,’’ he said of a number of Republican incumbents who turned down his support, several of whom he mentioned by name. “I’m not sure that I should be happy or sad, but I feel just fine about it.’’ Within hours of the end of the 90-minute news conference, another prominent name was
gone: Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who submitted his resignation Wednesday “at [Trump’s] request’’ after months of being vilified and embarassed publicy by the president for recusing himself from the Russia investigation. Whenever the subject of Russia or taxes came up Wednesday, Trump sounded like he was issuing an ultimatum. “They’ve got nothing, zero. You know why? ‘Cause there is nothing,’’ he said of the Democrats, suggesting he would push Senate investigations of Democrats’ conduct if they try the same thing with him. “They can play that game, but we can play it better because we have a thing called the United States Senate, and a lot of very question-
able things were done, between leaks of classified information and many other elements that should not have taken place.’’ One thing that clearly didn’t change overnight was Trump’s contempt for the media, particularly CNN. “You are a rude, terrible person,’’ Trump said during one especially heated exchange when CNN’s Jim Acosta tried to steer the line of questioning toward the ongoing Russia investigation. “The way you treat [press secretary] Sarah Huckabee is horrible and the way you treat other people are horrible. You shouldn’t treat people that way.’’ Tuesday’s vote ushered a number of new and diverse faces into Congress, including the first Muslim, Indigenous
and Korean-born women, while voters in Colorado made Jared Polis the first openly gay man to be elected a state governor. And it might also have freed up another Democratic superstar to take a run at the White House: the charismatic Beto O’Rourke, who was edged out in his bid to represent Texas in the Senate by Republican incumbent Ted Cruz. O’Rourke capped a remarkably strong campaign with a concession speech that sounded much more like a call to arms. “We are great people: ambitious, defined by our aspirations, the hard work that we are willing to commit in order to achieve them,’’ he told supporters in his hometown of El Paso. “Every single one of us — Republicans,
Democrats, independents, from the biggest of cities to the smallest of towns — the people of Texas want to do and will do the great work of this country.’’ Before Tuesday’s result, O’Rourke had said he had no plans to seek the presidential nomination in 2020. Asked if she believes him, University of Texas at Austin politics lecturer Victoria DeFrancesco had a simple answer: “No.’’ “Had he won, then 2020 would have been tough for him to justify,’’ DeFrancesco said in an interview. “He is a fantastic fundraiser, he has a great message and if you watched his concession speech, that was basically a campaign speech. So you can read between the lines.’’ Of course, no short-
age of Democratic hopefuls are waiting in the wings, all representing segments of the demographic and ideological formula some believe comprises the perfect candidate: elder statesman Joe Biden, visible minorities Cory Booker and Kamala Harris and political veteran Elizabeth Warren, among others. “I think he’s as strong of a candidate as anyone else, but it would not be a cakewalk, because there are a lot of other talented people out there,’’ DeFrancesco said. “You could boil it down to two camps: some say, ‘Let’s play to that middle,’ and others will say, ‘No, let’s fortify the bases.’ “So I think the next 12 to 18 months are going to be about defining which of those two visions wins out.’’

OTTAWA — As the Liberals begin to roll out spending on a multimillion-dollar plan to combat a rise in gun and gang violence in Canada, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer unveiled his own platform pledge to crack down on gangs, including tougher criminal penalties for gang members. In duelling news conferences on Thursday, the Liberals and Conservatives each tried to paint their own measures to combat guns and gangs as the most effective. The Trudeau government announced a plan to spend $86 million on expanded intelligence and border-security measures for the RCMP and Canada Border Services Agency — part of a five-year, $327-million funding promise made earlier this year to stop criminal gun and gang activities.

WolfPack to clash with Vikes at TCC MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
KTW FILE PHOTO Joe Davis of Kamloops is in Year 4 of his U Sports basketball career, with his TRU WolfPack set to host the Victoria Vikes this weekend at the TCC. The WolfPack women will also play host to the VIkes. Read more about TRU’s women on page A23.
Joe Davis did not dress for a single game in his freshman season, watching instead as his TRU WolfPack made program history with their first-ever berth at the 2016 U Sports Men’s Basketball Championship. The Westsyde secondary graduate, now a fourth-year forward and key contributor, would love to feel the thrill of nationals for himself before his post-secondary hoops career is over. TRU will begin its home Canada West schedule this weekend against the Victoria Vikes at the Tournament Capital Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Reaching the big dance in the next two seasons is a long shot, but it always has been for a small school in Kamloops that embraces the underdog role. “We’re really starting to compete and get after it,” said Davis, joined by Dean Lemphers and Devin Halcrow to comprise the WolfPack’s Kamloops contingent. “We want it. As long as we continue to buy in and get better every day, we have a chance to be where we want to be by the end of the year.” Head coach Scott Clark has led the Pack to the playoffs in five consecutive seasons, the highwater mark campaign coming in 2015-2016, when TRU won Canada West silver and finished tied for seventh in the country. The team posted an 8-12 record in 2016-2017 and was eliminated in the Canada West quarter-finals. TRU lost a first-round post-season matchup last season after recording an 11-9 mark. U Sports coaches are sometimes open about where their team sits on a macro level. Pet Hennelly said his WolfPack men’s volleyball team is entering a win-now phase, whereas TRU women’s hoops coach Scott
Reeves told KTW his program is rebuilding. Clark was asked about the cyclical position of his squad. “Every year, nothing changes,” said Clark, the conference’s men’s basketball coach of the year for 2015-2016. “As the coach, your responsibility is to do the best job you can with the resources you’re provided. “Those resources are the players that we have. Our job is to coach them, do the best job we can and we’ll see where that takes us.” An improving regular-season record would seem to indicate a team on the rise, but Clark noted his charges are still in the early stages of learning how to win. The WolfPack dropped an overtime decision to the visiting UNBC Timberwolves of Prince George in the pre-season, but prevailed in their next shot at OT, knocking off the Fraser Valley Cascades 69-64 in Abbotsford on Oct. 26. “Both of those situations were learning situations,” said Clark, who’s been at TRU’s helm for nine years. “Our understanding of what we have to do and what behaviours are winning behaviours, we’re maybe starting to get a grasp of that. We’ve got some talent, but we’ve got a long ways to go still.” Victoria (1-3) was ranked sixth and TRU (1-1) slotted in ninth among 17 teams in a pre-season Canada West coaches’ poll. Two wins on home court would bring into question the Pack’s ranking, establish the Wolves’ Den as a tough place to play and perhaps prove Clark’s squad is more ready to win than expected. “I always relish the home games,” Davis said. “I’ll never take games for granted, but, absolutely, as you get older, to continue to get the community and family support, it means lot.”

Franklin among WHL leaders in goal scoring MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER

ress statistically, but couldn’t have predicted 1.13 points per game. The 19-year-old forward from Marwayne, Alta., is tied for fourth in the WHL with 12 goals in 15 games. He had 14 goals in 67 games last season. There is no secret to the jump in production, said Franklin, whose five assists leave him with a team-leading 17 points. He feels a little older,

a bit stronger and a touch faster. The 5-foot-9, 195pound forward started well, scoring in his first two games for Kamloops, both wins over Kelowna. Early success helped inspire confidence in himself and made it easy for head coach Serge Lajoie to reward Franklin with a top-six role and power-play time. Five of Franklin’s
markers are power-play goals. He has scored once shorthanded. Franklin is also shooting more. He leads the Blazers with 47 shots on goal this season and is averaging 3.13 shots on goal per game. He averaged 1.34 shots on goal per game in 2017-2018. Lethbridge nabbed Franklin 43rd overall in Round 2 of the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft. Franklin left the

Canes, who reached the Eastern Conference final in 2017 and 2018, to join a struggling franchise that missed the playoffs and overhauled management and coaching staffs. He didn’t drink from the half-glass-empty mug, in part because he was sipping on Bardsley’s Kool-Aid. Franklin trusted the GM’s assurance of an important role up front. Bardsley saw a player who nearly tripled his offensive output from 2016-2017 (14 points) to 2017-2018 (38 points) and made a deal to strengthen the Blazers’ weak 19-yearold age group. Lethbridge wanted Shepard and Bardsley obliged, parting with a promising player while believing in Franklin’s ability to contribute immediately. Shepard, a year younger than Franklin, has 10 points, all assists, in 16 games with the Hurricanes this season. The deal may end up being beneficial to both sides, but the Blazers are happy to have the goals, for now. Kamloops is seventh-last in the WHL in goals for, with 50 after 15 games. Prince Albert leads the league with 85 goals in 17 games. Franklin and the Blazers have won four of their last six contests, but are looking to buck a two-game losing skid this weekend. The U.S. Divisionleading Everett Silvertips (11-6) and Kamloops (6-7-1-1) will square off twice at Sandman Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. on Sunday. MILITARY NIGHT Friday night at Sandman Centre is Military

There will be a ceremonial puck-drop, rappellers descending from the rafters and a colour party during the anthem.

WolfPack in ‘rebuild phase’ MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Head coach Scott Reeves was open about the status of his TRU WolfPack women’s basketball team, which will play its Canada West home opener on Friday at the Tournament Capital Centre. “We’re in a bit of a rebuild phase,” said Reeves, who’s been at the Pack’s helm for 13 years. “We’ve got a bunch of new kids. Half our team are freshmen. When you’ve got that much learning going on, it kind of seems, at times, like you’re spinning your wheels. “But we’ve made good progress over the pre-season and we had some tough games down in Fraser Valley, where we didn’t shoot it as well.” The Pack’s crosshairs were so wonky against the Cascades that Kamloopsians waking up to frost on windshields may be prone to blame the ice-cold shooting performances. TRU had field-goal percentages of 23.6 per cent in a 58-44 defeat on Oct. 27 and 28.6 per cent in a 62-50 loss on Oct. 26. “The only way to work on that is by getting some confidence,” said Michelle Bos, a fifth-year guard who is tied for
the lead in WolfPack scoring with 21 points after two games. “You get that by getting into the gym. We had a bye week last weekend. I know every single one of our players got in the gym last week and got hundreds of shots up.” Perhaps the WolfPack (0-2) will heat up against the Victoria Vikes (3-1) and the reigning conference female first star of the week, Amira Giannattasio, who had 44 points, five rebounds and four steals in a 113-108 loss to UBC on Nov. 1. Game time is 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at the TCC. Victoria was ranked seventh and TRU 13th among 17 teams in a pre-season Canada West coaches’ poll. TRU’s spot in the pecking order is largely due to having seven first- or second-year players on the 11-woman roster. Emily Vilac of Kamloops is among three graduating players, keen to finish her university basketball career with a respectable campaign and relishing more the prospect of playing on home court. “Playing at home means a lot to us, especially the girls who have lived and played here as long as we can remember,” said Vilac, who won a provincial high
school basketball title with the South Kamloops Titans in 2013. “This is our last year. May as well leave it all out there.” Freshmen Emily Ferguson, Lauren Walkley and Emma Lizzee and fifth-year guard Kanesha Reeves are also from Kamloops. “It’s going to take some time to get two, three years of recruiting in,” Reeves said. “With us not graduating anyone next year, there is going to be some rebuild. That’s just the cycle of things at this level.” TRU posted an 18-2 record in 2014-2015 and followed with a 15-5 mark in 2015-2016, with both seasons ending in defeat in conference quarter-finals. The Pack missed the playoffs with a 2-18 record in 2016-2017 and an 8-12 mark last season. The team’s fourth- and fifthyear players, of which there are four, will be relied on to pace the club this season. More help should be on the way in 20192020. “This is a big recruiting class,” Reeves said. “There is a lot of depth and talent out there at the high-school level. “Hopefully, we get the two or three key ones we are going after and we can build for the future.”

Broncos pursuing B.C. championship The junior bantam Kamloops Broncos need one win to advance to the B.C. Community Football Association 9-Man Provincial Championships. Kamloops cruised to a 40-8 victory over Okanagan Junior Sun Green of Kelowna last weekend at Hillside Stadium to secure a spot in the Southern Interior Football Conference title tilt this weekend. The Salmon Arm Chargers and Broncos will square off for the regional crown in Vernon on Sunday. Hillside Stadium will be the venue for the provincial championships, which will be held the following weekend. The hometown Vernon Magnum Bombers blanked Kamloops 18-0 in an atom semifinal tilt last weekend. RAMS INTO NATIONAL FINAL The Langley Rams earned a berth in the Canadian Junior Footbal League championship game with a 39-14 win over the visiting Hamilton Hurricanes last Saturday.
Duncan Little threw three touchdown passes to Jevon Cottoy, who finished with nine receptions for 190 yards and also scored on a one-yard touchdown run and added a 54-yard punt single. The Rams will travel to Saskatoon, where they will take on the defending national champion Hilltops on Nov. 17. The Rams earned their shot against Hamilton by winning the 2018 Cullen Cup in Kelowna on Oct. 28, defeating the Okanagan Sun 39 – 7 at the Apple Bowl. VIBE IN FINE FORM The Kamloops Vibe remain atop South Coast Women’s Hockey League standings after posting three wins and one tie last weekend on a Lower Mainland road trip. Kamloops opened with three victories — 5-1 over Meadow Ridge, 6-0 over Trinity Western University and 4-1 over North Shore. Fraser Valley and Kamloops tied 2-2 on Sunday.

HOLMES IS WHERE THE I looked up the definition of a word that has presented itself on a few occasions. I met with a woman who said she would like to meet a man who is healthy, active, fit and likes outdoor activities, such as kayaking, hiking and paddle-boarding. I thought I had a man matching much of that criteria, but when I sent her his information, her response was: “I think I am looking for someone more big and burly.” Burly? I have heard this word before and maybe my quick-to-judge visual of “big and burly” is different from others. In my experience, big, burly men who like the outdoors tend to be the ones sitting on the dock fishing, or sitting around the campfire with a can of beer, or sitting on a boat, or hanging out at the swim-up bar in the pool. Not that there is anything wrong with these activities. If this is what someone is looking for, fair enough. I love all of the above-mentioned activities once in a while, but active, healthy, fit men who hop into a kayak, jump onto a paddle

board, run and swim are usually lean and slimmer than their burly counterparts. Here’s a few synonyms for burly: strapping, sturdy, bulky, stout, beefy, blocky, hefty and husky. Don’t get me wrong. I know big guys can be healthy and, in fact, I see many of them at marathon races, where they are classified as “clydesdale racers,” meaning they weigh more than 200 pounds. When I think of a man who is big and burly, the first thing that comes to my mind is Grizzly Adams, the television character of the 1970s played by Dan Haggerty. He fits the description perfectly and is certainly healthy, with all of his

outdoor activities. I would also describe him as rugged. I think the reason many women want their men bigger than them is because they like to feel more feminine. But I still think Nicole Kidman looks feminine when she is with her much shorter husband, Keith Urban. The same goes for Tracey Pollan, who stands 5-foot-8 — four inches taller than husband Michael J. Fox. I think placing a height requirement on men is as unfair as men placing a weight restriction on women. Both seem unreasonable. Let’s get back to digging deeper than inches and pounds and finding out if you are compatible with someone else. Do you both like camping? Do you both laugh a lot together? Do you both dig live theatre? Maybe you both love watching classic TV shows — like Grizzly Adams. If you are a big, burly man, you obviously know by now you are in demand. So, by all means, contact me if you are single and happy. My email is holmes@wheretheheartis.ca.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Alvin “Dean� Purych
June 3, 1952 - November 5, 2018 With his wife and daughters by his side, on November 5, 2018, Dean passed away at the age of 66 after many years living with memory loss. Dean is survived by his wife Lauryn, daughters Maegen (Stephen Gundy) and Kelly (Craig Schram), and grandchildren Paige, Ryan and Robin. Dean will also be missed by his sister Evelyn Myram and brothers Johnny and Dennis Purych and their families, sister-in-law Leanne Robertshaw and brothers-inlaw Evan, Rob, Chris and Shawn Robertshaw and their families, extended family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents John and Olive Purych of Kelowna, BC. A graduate of UBC Forestry (‘75) and long standing Registered Professional Forester in BC, Dean spent his career practicing forestry, dedicated to the principles of sustainable forest management and progressing landuse discussions through his roles on various stakeholder groups. TFL 35 held a special place in his heart professionally and personally, as the destination for family Christmas trees and firewood outings. Dean was always looking for a new challenge or adventure with his loving family in tow as willing (or sometimes unwilling) participants. These most notably include his ‘84 run for Kamloops - Shuswap District MP as Rhino Party candidate and international travel with his young family. A late career transfer to Alberta provided yet another opportunity. Dean led a new team, adapted to a new provincial regulatory regime and transitioned to a new community. Dean was a kind, creative and active man who loved to laugh, but above all else, loved to make others laugh. He leaves an indelible mark on all who knew him as husband, father, brother, uncle, coach, colleague and friend. An abundance of love and gratitude for the dedicated family, friends and the caregivers at Overlander Residential Care and Ponderosa Lodge who continued their loving support of Dean and his family throughout this challenging journey. A celebration of Dean’s life will be held in Spring 2019. A subsequent announcement will provide details. In lieu of flowers, donations in Dean’s name may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C.
The Angel on Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin
There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder. Bereavement Publishing Inc. 5125 N. Union Blvd, Suite 4 Colorado Springs, CO 80918

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Marlene Delores Pritchard (Fiesel) October 19, 1939 – November 2, 2018
Marlene passed away peacefully on November 2, 2018, just after her 79th birthday, with her husband Miles, daughter Dennet and grandchildren Daniel and Teresa by her side as she crossed the finish line of her journey with Alzheimer’s. Marlene was predeceased by her father Karl Fiesel, mother Hilda Fiesel (Wolfe), step-mother Theresa Fiesel and her sister Shirley Marquardt. Marlene will be missed by her siblings: Clifford (Marjorie), Doreen, Barbara, Diane (Ron), Murray (Karen), Annette (Dale), numerous nieces and nephews as well as her lifelong friends Marlene Anderson and Muriel Anderson. Marlene was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and was one of eight children. She began her working years as a secretary and graduated to owning several businesses over the years including the Diet Center franchise which she brought to BC. Marlene took her realtor’s licence in 1994 and was an agent with Sutton and Century 21 over the span of 20 years. Marlene and Miles were soulmates who first met at a dance where Miles stole Marlene from her date to dance the night away. They spent the next 52 years of marriage dancing together. Marlene had a generous heart and opened her home to everyone. She was an amazing cook and loved to host big parties. She spent countless hours with her family and enjoyed her grandchildren to the fullest. Our family would like to extend our thanks to the staff at Ponderosa Lodge for their affection, generosity, compassion and expert care throughout her time there. We also would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Howie and Dr. Cribb. At Marlene’s request, there will not be any services.
Elizabeth “Betty” Stroesser (née Braun) June 7, 1923 - October 31, 2018
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. Betty was married in March 1946 to her husband Leo Stroesser until his passing in October 1958. She was predeceased by her daughter Loraine 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. 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 and family celebrated Betty’s life with a tea on Thursday, November 8, 2018 at The Hamlets in Kamloops.
Roderick Kent Duncan We lost our larger-than-life father, brother and friend on November 3, 2018. Roderick Kent Duncan was born on March 31, 1951, almost an April’s fool, he used to joke. He died suddenly, leaving us all shocked and saddened by the loss of this passionate, colourful, opinionated individual. Rod is survived by his son Shea, his sisters Shelley (Jim) and Tracey (Rob), and his brother Jeff (Val). He was also dearly loved by his partner Maria, his ex-wife Susan and her daughters Alex and Olivia to whom he was a second dad. His long-time friends Ken (Dorian) Smedley and Alexander Watt will also miss their pal. He was predeceased by Sharon “Comfy” Duncan, who enriched his life immeasurably after their marriage in 1991 until her death in 2004. He never quite recovered from the void she left in his world. He was also predeceased by his father Clarence “Dunc” Duncan and his mother Vivian Duncan Davison.

Marguerite (Rita) Theresa Barker October 19, 1930 – October 14, 2018
If you wish to honour Rod, boycott Trump by avoiding a trip into the United States. Now that would make him happy.
Marguerite (Rita) Theresa Barker passed away peacefully at the age of 87 years with her family by her side in Kamloops, BC on October 14, 2018.
Rod loved to philosophize, sing, play guitar, and write, but he also had an amazing grasp of numbers and science. He was a brilliant guy. He loved Macintosh computers and had no patience with anyone who preferred PCs. He spent many hours finding the best deals when friends and family were in the market for a computer. He also loaded the software and persisted in teaching even the least technical of us. This was not fun for him, but he never gave up trying.
She was predeceased by her loving husband of 65 years Russell (Russ Barker) and her parents Leonard and Margaret Sadlier-Brown. She is survived by her children, son David Barker (Debbie) of Canmore, AB, daughter Margaret Locke (Walter) of Kamloops, BC and son Jeffrey Barker (Kathleen) of Ladner, BC, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren and her sister Pat Brown of Barriere, BC.
He was incredibly generous and happiest when he was giving someone a gift. He hated capitalism, but never quit buying. In recent years, Rod greatly enjoyed his RV oasis on Kamloops Lake in the summers and then in the winters, heading off with Maria for travelling adventures. The family would like to thank Craig Arduini who diligently performed CPR after finding Rod unresponsive on the roadside. Thanks as well to the emergency personnel who endured the pouring rain as they worked to save Rod’s life. A Memorial Service will take place on November 17, 2018 at 2:00 pm at Schoening Funeral Service, 514 Seymour St., Kamloops. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
Rita managed the family home, while Russ owned and operated Nicola Auto Body in Merritt for 31 years. Upon retirement, they enjoyed travel and leisure time together. Rita was a 50 plus year member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Merritt Chapter #14. She also gave of her time to the community and charitable organizations. Rita and Russ moved back to Kamloops in 1987. Rita loved playing bridge and was an accomplished home cook and baker. A heartfelt thank you to management and staff at Chartwell Ridgepoint and to the Home Health nurses and care aides that made her last years pleasant and peaceful. Special thanks to the wonderful staff and volunteers at Marjorie Willowby Snowden Hospice Home. In lieu of flowers, in memoriam donations to the Kamloops Hospice Association www.kamloopshospice.com/home would be greatly appreciated. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

Peter Claude Johnson January 11, 1941- November 4, 2018
Peter Claude Johnson passed away at 1:10 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2018 at the age of 77. By his side, was his wife of 57 years Wendy “Beth” Johnson, his daughter Sue Johnson, of Calgary, AB and his sister-in-law Karen Webb of Kamloops, BC. 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. Peter was a lover of rescue animals and took comfort in his final days from his cat Smokey. For the many people who loved and adored Peter, there will be a military burial at sea in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary (www.yamnuskawolfdogsantuary.com/donate/) or the Kamloops SPCA. 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.

He never looked for praises He was never one to boast He just went on quietly working For the ones he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken His wants were very few And most of the time his worries Went unspoken too. He was there ... a firm foundation Through all our storms of life A sturdy hand to hold onto In times of stress and strife A true friend we could turn to When times were good or bad One of our greatest blessings The man that we called Dad.

Weep not for me though I am gone Into that gentle night. Grieve if you will, but not for long Upon my soul’s sweet flight. I am at peace, my soul’s at rest There is no need for tears. For with your love I was so blessed For all those many years. There is no pain, I suffer not, The fear now is all gone. Put now these things out of your thoughts, In your memory I live on. Remember not my fight for breath Remember not my strife Please do not dwell upon my death, But celebrate my life. Your wife, Betty

Back from hiatus and making it work Vancouver band Hey Ocean! spent three years apart before working together again SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
H
ey Ocean! is a band with a story about starting again — and it starts with a breakup. In 2014, the trio was coming down off a wave of success that began with the release of the 2012 album IS. They were further pushed along by a Juno nomination for breakthrough group of the year in 2013. Butd that wave hit the shore and washed away when the band began a hiatus in 2014 that would last three years. “We were all exhausted, I think,” said Ashleigh Ball, lead singer and one-third of the Vancouver-based band. “Things were really hard with IS and it was time to write new material and none of us really wanted to spend time together. The idea of writing new music wasn’t exciting,” she told KTW. That exhaustion meant the band’s time writing and producing music together had come to an end, but their time playing together hadn’t. Ball said they still had half a tour to play together after they decided not to be a band anymore
and had to pretend that everything was fine. “That was hard — especially the super happy pop songs,” she said. But the breakup was mostly a professional one. Ball, David Beckingham (lead guitar, vocals) and David Vertesi (bass guitar, vocals) remained friends and shortly after deciding on the break, they all joined up for another cause — a local soccer team. “We were all still there for each other, we just weren’t Hey Ocean!” Ball said. The trio’s creative energy didn’t fade during the break, however. Each of them had their own musical pursuits during their time away. Beckingham and Vertesi put out solo albums in 2016 and Ball released hers in 2017. “I think we’ve all just matured,” Ball said. “It’s hard when there’s three people in a band. You grow up, your musical tastes change, you grow apart — it’s always been hard when there’s three writers.” After three years of concentrating their creative energies elsewhere, those three writers decided to meet in Ball’s apartment for a weekend. They smoked some pot,

drank some tea and wrote. “It felt so good to sing together again,” Ball said. “We were all relaxed with no pressure from anyone.” That lack of pressure became one of the band’s new tenets upon deciding to make music together once again. The group sought new management and released their latest album, The Hurt of Happiness, in April. They also stopped trying so hard to create a cohesive sound. Rather than fight against the way they have all grown in differ-

ent directions, Ball said this time they chose to embrace it. “We didn’t try to make it cohesive, but there’s a sort of throughline,” she said. The band’s latest sounds will soon be heard in the River City with a show at The Blue Grotto, 319 Victoria St., on Thursday at 9 p.m. Tickets are $24.85 and available online at ticketweb.ca. Hey Ocean! will be joined by Victoriabased band Carmanah. The break also allowed Ball to continue to pursue her other gig — voice acting. She stars in the hugely successful cartoon My

Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, voicing characters Applejack, Rainbow Dash and others. It’s a job that has allowed Ball the freedom to spend however much time she wants in studio, even if it robs her of the “struggling musician thing.” Despite her voiceover work successes, she said she’s thankful that her TV directors and producers know what her main pursuit is — music. “It’s always been music. It’s the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think about before going to bed.”

Cultivating calmness at home with Hygge will be at home this weekend, wrapping up some updates that will have our house feeling pulled together and calm. Calmness is something I’ve been trying to cultivate for a while now, and although there is little time to rest as we enter the holiday shopping season, the first at our downtown store Far + Wide, it’s hard to fight the natural pull to slow down and hibernate. The Danes have a word for this: Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah). Hygge describes a feeling of coziness and appreciation for a special moment alone or with friends. It’s about filling one’s daily routine with comfort, creating simple rituals and awareness of every good moment. While Hygge is practised throughout the year, it’s a natural fit for winter, when we all need to find ways to lift our spirits during the cold, dark months. There isn’t an English word that translates it quite right, making Hygge hard to describe. I picture a quiet morning with a steaming hot cup of tea in my hand. You don’t need to buy things or take drastic steps in order to “live Hygge.” Instead, Hygge is about taking measures to make your home more comfortable, connecting with friends and nature and slowing down to savour life. At home, this may look like turning down the lights and lighting a candle, curling up by the fireplace or setting up some twinkling lights to create a feeling of coziness. It could include music, something that feels warm and special and indulgent, as well as lots of cozy sweaters, socks, blankets and pillows. Creating a sense of calm and awareness of the moment will very likely call for you to unplug — so tuck your phone, laptop and TV remote away. Draw a luxurious bath after a long day of work, curl up with a new book or get out the board games for a night in with friends, and relax. When it comes to eating and entertaining, Hygge focuses on indulgence. This is the time for large pots of soup, fresh loaves of sourdough, local ingredients and celebrating the act of cooking — something I always find more enjoyable with some good music playing and a local beer in hand. I have friends who get their whole family together to cook up huge

MOVEMENT batches of pierogis, cabbage rolls and jars of fresh tomato sauce. Others host casual cookie swap parties, an excuse to get together, eat delicious goodies and exchange recipes. Approaching cooking like this is about more than making food, it’s about deliberate connection with a big dose of love. Hygge is also about taking time to create and let your mind idle while your hands are busy; knitting is a favourite cold-weather project of mine. I always feel inspired and refreshed after allowing my brain a break for a little while and winter is a great time to get creative, making something for yourself or to gift. If you’re a tea drinker, you could try your hand at creating special looseleaf tea blends or elevate your hot cocoa with homemade marshmallows and peppermint syrup. To connect with nature, bring fresh greenery inside for the holidays. This is one of my favourite things to do — the fragrance of the greenery is wonderful and it can be as easy as bunching different types of greenery, like cedar, fir, pine, eucalyptus or olive branch, in pretty vessels. For those interested in exploring the topic deeper, there are lots of wonderful articles online, as well as some beautiful books available about Hygge. With the holidays quickly approaching, a time many find hectic and stressful, taking time to pause and acknowledge each good moment may be what we all need. I’m sure it couldn’t hurt to find a little charm among the mundane everyday. Calli Duncan is co-owner of Makeshift Kamloops and Far and Wide. For more, go online to farandwidekamloops.com.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Tumbleweed Toys in Kamloops will be among hundreds of retailers across North America celebrating Neighbourhood Toy Store Day this Saturday. Spearheaded by the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association (ASTRA), the annual event asks shoppers to remember the neighbourhood toy stores in their communities as they kick off the holiday shopping season.
Scheduled ahead of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, the day offers shoppers discounts, special events and hands-on experiences with children’s toys. “ASTRA initiated Neighbourhood Toy Store Day nine years ago to celebrate community, showcase the value of shopping local and celebrate the joy of play,” said ASTRA president Kimberly Mosley. “These retailers are how the toy industry began and where customers can create special
memories with their families.” Tumbleweed Toys, which is located at Columbia Street and Summit Drive, adjacent to Sahali Mall, will be featuring professional face-painting, crafts for children and a gift with a purchase. In addition, a storewide discount will be offered in exchange for a donation to the Kamloops Food Bank. Tumbleweed Toys was the recipient of the Retailer 1-10 Staff Award in the 2018 Kamloops Chamber of Commerce TD Business Excellence Awards.

Trump Hollywood star smasher sentenced CANADIAN PRESS
LOS ANGELES — A man who smashed Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame has been sentenced to three years’ probation after pleading no contest to a felony count of vandalism. City News Service reports a
judge also sentenced Austin Mikel Clay on Wednesday to attend psychological counselling and pay more than $9,400 to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. He must also perform community service. Clay took a pickax to Trump’s star on Hollywood Boulevard in July. The star recognizes Trump
for his work on the TV show The Apprentice. It was quickly repaired. After he pleaded not guilty in August, Clay told reporters the vandalism was a “rightful and just act.” He said he wanted to “bring about positive political change” and didn’t believe prosecutors should have charged him.

Breaking Bad: The Movie NEW YORK — Bryan Cranston has confirmed that a Breaking Bad movie is in development, though he’s not sure he’s in it. Following reports that Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan is prepping a two-hour movie connected to the AMC series, Cranston on Wednesday called into the sports talk radio
show The Dan Patrick Show and confirmed the project is indeed in the works. Cranston said he hasn’t yet read the script and that his character, Walter White, may not even be in it. Cranston said he would “absolutely’’ return to the character if he was in it.
The two-hour spinoff is set to begin shooting in Albuquerque, in mid-November under the code name Greenbrier. Gilligan’s Breaking Bad prequel series Better Call Saul last month concluded its fourth season. — Canadian Press
MOVIE REVIEW
This new ‘Grinch’ film will only make you flinch were too compact? (Or maybe, just maybe, his head had been whacked?) Should he consult a cardiologist chart? The answer is clear: It’s because of his heart. In Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch, liberties are taken. Some are just padding, some quite mistaken. It’s suggested that our old friend the Grinch is an orphan, as though that excuses inflicting misfortune. There’s a new sidekick, a plump reindeer named Fred, and the remaking of Cindy’s mom as unwed. (Could she be a love for the small-hearted bad boy? Kind of, maybe, but look, this isn’t Tolstoy). Any-who, our Grinch decides to cancel the holiday, or make it as boring as, say,

Every Who down in Whoville gets a new Grinch this season. Why, you may ask? The idea defies reason. Does the classic need help from a hot Cumberbatch? Or is this strange union a bizarre mismatch? The Grinch is the story you learned as an infant, starring a Christmas-hating heel and his doggie assistant. The fuzzy green villain hopes to make holiday gloom. Just like a wicked witch, but without the broom. He targets presents intended for tots. Oh, how horrific is this nasty crackpot. Seuss never explained what prompted this act. Perhaps the Grinch wore shoes that

Groundhog Day. He hops inside chimneys to hoover up toys, certain to do it with an insouciant poise. Remember, this guy is the anti-merry — the same one played not long ago by Jim Carrey. Benedict Cumberbatch takes on the part, with an American accent (to give him less heart?). The Whos down in Whoville don’t mind that they’re gift-less. They gather together, sing and bear witness. Christmas, they say, isn’t about treasure: It’s about family, friends and being together. Then they tuck into roast beast. You, on the other hand, may feel fleeced. Credit goes to the film’s visual effects folk, who made fur alive and gave texture to smoke. But retreading this story with a Cumberbatch, should send Hollywood bigwigs into the booby hatch. Before you buy tickets and plan a nice dinner, ask who exactly in Whoville thought this was a winner? Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch,’ a Universal Pictures release, is rated PG with brief, rude humour, runs 79 minutes and debuts on Friday at the Cineplex Cinemas Aberdeen Mall.

talk about other community solar projects in the province, some in operation and some just getting started. In addition to his involvement with Solshare, Baxter is a cofounder of Vancouver Renewable
Energy Co-op, where he provides consulting and project management services for renewable energy systems. He has been in the solar energy industry since 2004 and helped initiate and complete the first grid-tie photovoltaic install in Vancouver.

Kamloopsians can donate new or gently used winter coats, hats and mittens at the Sleep Country store at 1055 Hillside Dr. (in the Walmart shopping centre plaza).

To register to take part in the contest, call 250-682-0424.
Get set to tour these Homes for the Holidays 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 volunteer 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 work-
shop by Paul Jaras AIFD and an opportunity to do some Christmas shopping. Last year, Homes for the Holidays raised more than $28,000. 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.

T
he #MeToo movement, though anti-harassment in nature, has been giving a strong handle to the demand for equality among races and sexes — and rightly so. It is indeed true our communities and the world have suffered for long under oppression, division and uneven distribution of talents and wealth. While equality as an absolute standard on this earth is impossible, what most of us want is equality at some specific point. We want to be equal in economic advantages with other individuals or groups, or we want to be equal in social privilege with another class of people, or we want to be equal in prestige or power or political opportunity with other persons. The biblical explanation for the differences and divisions among men charges this disaster to human pride. In Genesis, we read that the people of earth said: “Come, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven, and let us make us a name.” They stated the reason for their mighty effort in the words: “Lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” Then God, taking notice of their impious efforts, comments: “Behold, they are one people and they have all one language; and this is what they will begin to do.” When men were equal to one another, they sought to become equal to God. But God turned back their pride upon themselves to their confusion and to the confounding of their purpose. The tower that was to reach unto heaven became the tower of Babel. And the symbol of the unity of mankind built by man’s strength became the byword for confusion and failure. Human pride still makes it difficult to discuss, much less to do anything about, the inequalities among men. The generally accepted phrase for soothing our consciences without coming to grips with the issue is “equality of opportunity.” But we do not face the question: Equality of
NARYAN MITRA
You Gotta Have
FAITH
opportunity for what and with whom? Today, there is little equality within the races and even less among the races anywhere in the world. With or without legislative consent, human pride finds its own method of expression.
If, while seeking “worldly gold, glory and pleasure, men come upon the church engaged in the same pursuit and covered with the stains of the world’s standards, they are likely to ascribe little value to the church.
”
The ideal of absolute equality, even of opportunity, appears unobtainable, although that makes it no less an ideal. And the matter is confused by some who seek to secure the unobtainable, while others fight to prevent the inevitable. As in the days of the tower of Babel, the issue of equality has become an instrument of pride to provoke people to division. Regardless of the terms in which equality may be debated in other arenas, Christianity proposes to ignore the relative historical achievements and standards of men in order to raise all men into the equality of fellowship as children of God. The Word of God recog-
nizes that there are differences among men even in his service, for Paul says: “And He gave some to be apostles and teachers …” These differences and all others, however, are dissolved in the presence of God, where “there is one body and one Spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all.” The recognition that absolute equality is to be found only at the throne of God lays a heavy responsibility upon the churches of God to represent Him in his attitude toward the inequalities of life’s actual experience. The churches must transform men to make it possible for the will of God to be done on earth as it is in heaven. In the relations between labour and management or the relations between members of different races or sex — in whatever area of economic, social or political life — inequalities are always grounded in justice and the members of Christian churches must speak the disapproval of God. The church of Jesus Christ belongs to no class or race. As the instrument of God, it must take as the clue to its course the nature of her God. First, the church must consecrate and sanctify herself to the ideals of a transcendent God. Men who seek God do not poke and putter in the muck and mire of the world. They lift their eyes unto the heavens. If, while seeking worldly gold, glory and pleasure, men come upon the church engaged in the same pursuit and covered with the stains of the world’s standards, they are likely to ascribe little value to the church. Christ said to his church: “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world” (John 17:16). ryanmitra225@gmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

Confessions of a neophyte cruiser
MARGARET DEEFHOLTS travelwriterstales.com
I
’m on a dock in Jamaica’s Montego Bay, gazing openmouthed at the cruise ship, which is to be my floating hotel for the next week. To a newbie cruiser like myself, the Marella Discovery II, with its 11 decks seems like a mammoth-sized vessel. But a fellow passenger, hearing my gasp of amazement, says, “I’ve seen bigger,” and shrugs. I’m impressed, nonetheless. I check in at the reception desk, where several floors spiral dizzily above me and a buzz of conversation overlays piped-in muzak. Key in hand, I walk a seemingly endless corridor to my cabin. It’s cozy, but comfortable enough. My room attendant — young, vivacious and eager to please — is from Yugoslavia. Having settled in, cocktail hour beckons and my Mai Tai has just the right mix of spiced rum and fruit juices (drinks are complimentary) and so I relax in the lounge.
A pianist is playing popular Broadway show tunes. I find myself surrounded by voices with accents ranging from musical Welsh intonations to Irish brogues, to London’s cockney twang. Not surprising, our ship originates in Britain, where most of its passengers embarked. Food is the highlight of many cruises and this one is no exception. Hearty breakfast buffets and a pleasing variety of lunch and dinner selections are offered in the ship’s myriad dining rooms. At the Islands buffet, a lavish high tea offers light-as-air cream puffs, dainty salmon and egg-and dill sandwiches, flaky pastries and, of course, warm scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream. Georgetown in the Cayman Islands is our first stop. A balmy sea breeze wafts over the touristthronged seafront. Souvenir shops with the usual tacky T-shirts, fridge magnets and key chains are easily ignored, but a display of spiced rum ‘n’ raisin cakes is irresistible. I stock up on a few to take back home with me.

Visiting Cuba has long been on my bucket list. Standing on the sidewalk bordering a cobbled street in Old Havana, the scene is like a classic ‘50s movie come to life. Vintage finned cars gleaming hot pink, pillar-box red and lime green crank and groan their way past me. Yellow-coloured threewheeled cars putter down the street, sharing the road with horsedrawn buggies clopping alongside, laden with bemused tourists. Using my Cuban convertible pesos, I board a hop-on, hop-off bus. The equivalent of US $10 fare earns me a narrated 90-minute tour around Havana. Along the Malecón, the ocean pounds the seawall, throwing shawls of spray over the sidewalk. Beyond the city centre, we pass residential buildings painted canary yellow, ice-cream pink and sky blue. Once palatial homes in their day, they wear a look of faded glory, with peeling paint, crumbling pilasters and mildewed walls. Communist Cuba provides a
basic living wage to its citizens, but there’s no cash left over for home improvements. In the mellow tropical evening, I linger in the Plaza Vieja in Old Havana. There, I stroll past street musicians strumming guitars and dodge kids kicking a football. As dusk falls, I walk through a narrow cobbled lane to catch bursts of laughter and applause from a bistro, where a cabaret performance is in underway. I glance at my watch as street lights dance on rippled waters on the quay. I turn and reluctantly head back to the ship. Tonight is an event that, as an inexperienced cruiser, I am hopelessly unprepared for — it’s Captain’s Night, where everyone dresses formally. Women don splendid evening gowns a-glitter with jewelry and men sport penguin-like dinner jackets with black ties. I slink into the dining room wearing a cotton blouse and flower-print skirt — the only alternative to jeans and T-shirts among my travel outfits.

My waiter shows me to my single table, too well-trained to smirk. The next day, Cozumel greets us with a mariachi band on the quay. We are docked beside a gargantuan Norwegian cruise ship, which makes our’s look shrimp-sized. It is hot, the sun reflects blindingly off the sidewalks and the air is languid and dusty. On the tourist shopping drag, I am lured into purchasing a handcrafted Mexican bracelet. Our final stop is Montego Bay, with a bus tour of the area taking me along undulating heat-shimmered roads, past houses dozing in the afternoon sun. From high on a hilltop, the Caribbean sea unfurls to the horizon beyond. Just one day later, I am back under the weepy skies of Vancouver. Time to check out another tropical cruise — Panama, perhaps.
