DID YOU KNOW? Guerin Creek had been known as Hudson’s Bay Creek before being named in honour of James F. Guerin, a prospector who settled south of Kamloops near what is now Aberdeen. — Kamloops Museum and Archives
STUDENTS WATCH, WAIT FROM AFAR JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Last week, Thompson Rivers University student Kandis Wilkinson, 22, returned to Kamloops after two weeks visiting her home in the Bahamas. Her parents sent her back early as a storm was brewing. At the time, they didn’t know the most powerful hurricane in the country’s history would hit days later, devastating the Caribbean nation. “They weren’t thinking it was going to be anything huge,” Wilkinson told KTW. “They just wanted me to get back in time to start school. They thought it would just be like a minor inconvenience where we’d have to close the airports and stuff. So they’re like, just go back a couple days early, we’ll see you at Christmas. “So, I left and I came back and, around Friday, my mom called me and she said, ‘It’s bad. It upgraded to a Category 5. Everything’s shut down. We are going to seek shelter because we are expecting to get a lot of flood waters.’” As the arts student — among two-dozen students from the Bahamas studying at TRU — prepared for her second year of university some 5,000 kilometres from home, disaster struck. Hurricane Dorian settled over the country for two days, pounding it relentlessly and destroying two northern islands: Grand Bahama and Abaco. As of Thursday, 20 people were reported dead, but that number continues to rise with rescue efforts underway. Deemed the most powerful hurricane to ever hit the country, Dorian brought winds of up to 300 km/h. Wilkinson feels guilty for leaving. “If I had known that it was going to be such a catastrophe, I would have stayed,” she said. “Because the whole time it was hitting the Bahamas, I just kept thinking about my family and how I wanted to be with them. “I felt guilty for being here, safe and dry, having some place to sleep and not knowing what’s going on with them, what kind of conditions they’re going through, the trauma that they’re going through — and I’m not there to be with them or comfort them. That was pretty hard. I didn’t sleep. I didn’t eat. I was just glued to my phone and my computer, trying to get help.” Most of TRU’s Bahamian students’ immediate families, including Wilkinson’s parents, live in Nassau, the country’s capital of about 260,000 people. It experienced flooding and power outages, but was largely spared the hurricane’s destructive path. Upon realizing the storm’s intensity, Wilkinson’s mom and sister sought shelter in a church, her father weathering the storm and sandbagging his door to keep water at bay. Both family homes flooded. Meanwhile, family and friends of students are scattered throughout the chain of islands,

including Grand Bahama and Abaco. Three of Wilkinson’s relatives were stuck in an attic on Grand Bahama for 18 hours as the water rose. They were unreachable throughout the storm and were only rescued at 4 a.m. this past Wednesday. Wilkinson still doesn’t know where they are, with shelters moving constantly when compromised by flood waters. Her aunt on Abaco Island also sought shelter, having lost her home. “The conditions there are really, really bad,” Wilkinson said. “They’re up to their necks in water. No roads, no streets, no anything. The land looks like the sea now.” Bahamian students have been glued to their phones this week in the hallways at TRU, receiving updates and sharing social media posts from those searching for missing loved ones. Tabatta Butler, who is studying social work at TRU, sighed a breath of relief on Thursday, having finally heard through the grapevine that her brother is alive. She couldn’t focus through orientation this week, with her brother on Abaco not having been heard from since the morning the storm hit, on Sept. 1. “I had posted his information on Facebook, asking if anyone had seen him,” Butler told KTW. “I got a message last night to say that he was spotted. … He is OK, so that was good news.” Twenty-one-year-old Trevez Pratt said he also experienced anxiety — but for different reasons. He wishes he could be back in the Bahamas to help.

See footage of Hurricane Dorian’s fury online at kamloopsthisweek.com “My dad’s helping right now,” Pratt said. “He’s currently going to travel to the islands and I know, if I was there, I would be working with him. I wish I was there, just to help, just to do something.” Thompson Rivers University has offered support to students. Butler said a professor and dean reached out to her, in addition to a letter that was sent out to international students indicating available counselling and advising. The TRU Caribbean Student Club is organizing relief efforts and will set up a kiosk at the annual Back to School barbecue on Friday to collect money and essential items — non-perishables, sanitary items and baby clothes — for Bahamians in need. Money will be used to ship the items to the country’s consulate in Ottawa. Pratt said one positive spinoff from the storm has been those who have banded together to help in the time of need. “I think this was a wakeup call for us who still live in the Bahamas,” Pratt said. “I think a lot of us just shared in pain that we haven’t done in a long time. This is a sense of unity I’ve never seen, 21 years of being a Bahamian.” — with a file from Canadian Press

CULTURE DAYS
GO SLOW FOR TOADS
Celebrate creativity in our community with the 10th annual Culture Days weekend, from September 27 to 29.
Young Great Basin spadefoot and western toads have been on the move recently as they leave their natal ponds. This fall, residents are asked to keep an eye out for these amphibians on rural roads, as they sometimes cross the road in the hundreds or thousands while they move to their winter sites!
Give a City employee a shout out! “I phoned the City telephone number to report an issue a couple weeks ago about a pothole at 8th Street and Lethbridge Street, and I didn’t see anything happen for a while, but then all of a sudden, my pothole was fixed and all the pot holes on 8th Street were fixed. Great work and thanks to the City paving crew who did the work!” ~ Resident Robert Kelly Share your kudos and read others’ comments of recognition at:
Spadefoots, named for a spade-shaped knob on their hind heels (used for digging), are designated as “special concern” in BC, which means they are vulnerable to human activities. Remember to slow down for these interesting creatures.
BREAD IS BAD We all know not to feed the bears. Did you know the same advice is true for Canada geese and marmots? Do not feed bread to these animals that are found in our city’s parks. Feeding these animals makes them more aggressive towards humans, and if they eat bread, it can cause health problems and even lead to malnutrition. Help keep our parks clean and safe by leaving the bread at home.
Culture Days will be celebrated in hundreds of Canadian cities and towns from coast to coast with thousands of free activities from a wide range of disciplines, including visual arts, music, dance, theatre, architecture, heritage, film and video, literature, culinary arts, and new media. Kamloops residents will join the rest of BC and Canada in celebrating Culture Days with free activities presented by different artists, groups, and organizations. Culture Days highlight the importance of arts and culture in our community, and its programs invite the public to get hands-on and go behind the scenes.

MOVING WITH CHILDREN Following separation, parents frequently want to move or relocate to a new community with a child or children in their care. Proposed relocation or mobility issues can be among the most emotional issues for families to deal with. Under BC’s Family Law Act, where a parent wants to relocate with a child or children, and the move would affect the current child custody and access arrangement, written notice must be given to the other parent. The other parent then has a period of time to oppose the relocation by filing an application.

Mountain goat at wildlife park killed by lighting strike KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
STORM FACTS
BC Wildlife Park staff are moruning the loss of mountain goat Gustav, who was struck and killed by lightning during Tuesday’s thunderstorm. “It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we share the devastating news,” wildlife park staff wrote on their Facebook page. “This tragedy has left the entire BC Wildlife Park team in shock and disbelief.” Gustav was found wandering alone on May 21, 2018, by the owners of the Wing Creek Resort in the west Kootenay town of Kaslo.

The orphaned mountain goat was eventually transferred by the BC Conservation Service to the BC Wildlife Park’s rehabilitation centre. Gustav was very young when he arrived and required bottle feeding every two hours. Earlier this summer, Gus was large enough to be moved into the park’s mountain goat
habitat with the park’s two other mountain goats, Cloud and Gerrard. “Gus loved climbing and exploring his new mountain enclosure and the BC Wildlife Park team loved watching him transition from a newborn to a young mountain goat,” the Facebook post read. “The BC Wildlife Park is grateful to have had the opportunity to give Gustav a second chance at life and he will be forever missed.” Tuesday’s thunderstorm brought 750 lightning strikes to the Kamloops area — 300 of which were recorded within a 16-kilometre radius of town.
Person on tracks killed by train The Canadian Pacific Railway has confirmed that one of its freight trains struck and killed a person in Valleyview on Thursday morning. In an email to KTW in response to a question on the incident, CP said the train struck a person who was on the tracks along Highway 1, near Highland Road, at about 6:30 a.m.

Mother Nature greets September with a storm to remember Lighting flashes in Batchelor Heights on Tuesday evening. KTW PHOTO
MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Hundreds of lightning strikes, a torrential downpour and gale force winds made up an intense storm that rolled through Kamloops on Tuesday evening. Kamloops Fire Rescue was kept bust during the storm, which was at its most intense between about 6:15 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. The fire department responded to three elevator entrapments, two single-vehicle rollovers on area highways and one fire sparked by lightning during that time. “We were running pretty hard from call to call,” KFR platoon Capt. Darryl Cooper said. “We were pretty busy.” KFR responded to the fire, located in the grasslands right behind homes in the 2000-block of Saddleback Drive in Batchelor Heights, at about 6:25 p.m. Cooper said the fire grew to about 20 feet by 50 feet in size before being extinguished by the rain. A resident helped by attacking the flames with a shovel. No one was injured, Cooper said. The fire department also responded to Thompson Rivers University, Hilltop Apartments and Landmark Centre for three people trapped in elevators during the storm. Cooper said it appeared as though there were power outages in the buildings. At 6:50 p.m., emergency personnel responded to Highway 5 on the Tk’emlups reserve after a vehicle went off the road and into a ditch about four kilometres north of the Husky gas station. Cooper said a lone occupant of the vehicle was checked out by paramedics. At about 7:15 p.m., there was a response to a single-vehicle rollover on the Coquihalla Highway near Inks Lake, where a lone
occupant had to extracted from the vehicle. Cooper said the calls slowed between 7:15 p.m. and 8 p.m. More than 18,000 customers in the Kamloops area lost power between about 6:15 p.m. and 7:15 p.m., according to BC Hydro. There were 750 lightning strikes within a 50-kilometre radius of Kamloops during the storm, Environment Canada meteorologist Bobby Sekhon told KTW. About 300 strikes occurred within 16 kilometres of the city and 67 strikes were recorded within four kilometres of Kamloops. Sekhon noted that some of the strikes were cloud-to-cloud lightning activity. Parts of Kamloops, including the North Shore, downtown and Sahali, experienced power outages during the storm — the result of substations on Bunker Road and Douglas Street being affected by lightning, BC Hydro spokesperson Jen Walker-Larsen said. She said the length of time customers were without power varied, noting crews worked through the night to restore power, checking to ensure there was no damage before re-energizing the system. Wind gusts reached 70 km/h and about six millimetres of rain fell on Kamloops, Sekhon said. Environment Canada didn’t
issue a warning for the storm, Sekhon said, as the expected conditions didn’t meet the federal body’s threshold for a notice. A thunderstorm, however, was in Environment Canada’s forecast for Tuesday. Environment Canada requires a forecast of 90 km/ hr winds and, for Kamloops, 15 millimetres of rain falling within an hour before it issues a storm warning. That amount of rain in an hour can cause flooding in Kamloops, while 90 km/hr winds is a general threshold for all of B.C., he said. Environment Canada was forecasting wind gusts under 90 km/hr and for between 10 and 15 millimetres of rain to fall within an hour during the storm. Sekhon estimated southern B.C. received 10,000 lightning strikes on Tuesday night. BC Wildfire Service reported the storm cell ignited a number of fires around the Kamloops Fire Centre, but most were spot-sized and none were threatening communities. The thunderstorm that rolled through Kamloops brought the largest number of single-day lightning strikes to the Kamloops area this year, but it pales in comparison to a 1,300 strike storm that hit the Kamloops area in August 2018.

Who Says Time Travel Doesn’t Exist ? BIKERS AGAINST BULLYING
EV WE ERYO LCO NE ME !
The annual Bikers Against Bullying ride to raise awareness of bullying and the need to stop it took place last weekend in Kamloops. Participants started at Aberdeen Mall and ended at Cascades Casino. The group’s mission is to spread awareness to children, schools and communities in an effort to end bullying. The endeavour began in 2001.

Outdoor school in Chase focus of SD73 study MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
An outdoor school may soon become a reality in Chase. The Kamloops-Thompson school board has asked staff to examine the feasibility of such a program within Haldane elementary. At a school board meeting in May, representatives of a parent working group presented the proposal for an outdoor, kindergarten to Grade 6 school of choice in Chase that would utilize the surrounding environment. The proposal called for 80 per cent of daily learning to be done outdoors in all types of weather. Required facilities would be a completely natural space — such as a Douglas fir forest — to be used in educational activities, along with some sort of minimal weather shelter, the group suggested. Bus transportation would also be required and teachers would need to have training in the outdoor school model. Enrolment would be open to all students in neighbouring school district North Okanagan (SD83), due to its proximity. More information was requested from the group at that time regarding facilities, teacher qualifications, educational soundness of the program and evidence of success of similar programs operating in other districts. Those questions were addressed at the end of June and the district was also provided the school handbook and trustee report detailing the operations of an outdoor school in SD83. SD73’s feasibility study will now look into costs, staffing requirements, shared property use concerns, facilities requirements, curriculum development and the timeline for implementation of the school within a school model. Superintendent Alison Sidow will bring recommendations to the board by Dec. 16, giving the district time to determine how many families are committed to an outdoor education program and ensure funding is available in the 2020-2021 budget.

RESPONDING TO A NATURAL DISASTER
P
arts of the B.C. Interior have dealt with natural disasters now and again. The wildfires of 2003, 2017 and 2018 come to mind, as to do various flooding events, including the 2016 and 2017 floods in Cherry Creek, just 10 minutes west of Kamloops. All those events, and others, resulted in an influx of help from within and outside of B.C. in the form of volunteers, goods, services and money. Fortunately for Kamloops and the B.C. Interior, natural disasters are few and far between and are generally localized and confined to fire and water. Much more devastating earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes are not a concern in our region. But they are elsewhere on this blue marble we call home, which is why KTW readers may want to do what they can to help those in the Bahamas impacted by Hurricane Dorian. Dorian has left destruction on a historic scale, with photos and videos showing devastation that is difficult to comprehend. There have been massive natural disasters that have preceded Dorian this century, weather and tectonic-related events that killed millions and left untold numbers homeless: the 2001 Gujarat earthquake, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, the 2005 Hurricane Katrina, the 2010 Haiti earthquake and so many more. As with those events, the carnage in the Bahamas and region has led to an urgent call for help, with relief agencies from Canada and other countries mobilizing to begin a job that will take years and years to finish. There is an effort being organized by students at Thompson Rivers University (see the story on page A3). The TRU Caribbean Student Club is organizing relief efforts and is setting up a kiosk at the annual Back to School barbecue on Friday to collect money and essential items — non-perishables, sanitary items and baby clothes — for Bahamians in need.

Nefarious name game?
A
cynic might look at the surname and surmise the most Machiavellian of political intentions. The NDP, apparently freefalling across Canada on the eve of the election campaign, had only 184 candidates nominated across the country as of Thursday. There are 338 ridings in Canada. Into this challenge comes Dock Currie, a second-year law student at TRU who replaces Gina Myhill-Jones as the party’s candidate in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo. Myhill-Jones, a 100 Mile House resident, was acclaimed as NDP candidate this past spring, but stepped down in August, citing personal reasons. Her replacement, of course, has the identical surname as that of a fellow candidate running for a party that, more than any other, traditionally challenges the NDP for votes. Iain Currie, a lawyer, is the local Green candidate. Will two Curries on the election menu create some confusion among voters? I am betting some votes meant for Dock will bleed over to Iain and vice versa. Of course, if a nefarious name game was afoot, the New Democrats could have courted a McLeod to run (there are 21 from which to choose in the Telus phone book, compared to 12 Curries). But they would have been hard-pressed to find a Lake to add to the ballot under their orange banner (surprisingly, there
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS is only one Lake in the Kamloops phone book, that being the listing for Liberal candidate Terry and wife Lisa). These are dark days for the NDP, a party that was at its zenith under the late Jack Layton. Under his leadership, the party won a record 103 seats in the 2011 federal election and, for the first and only time in its history, became the Official Opposition. Alas, four years later, in the 2015 election, the party collapsed under Tom Mulcair, losing 59 seats it won in 2011 and electing a mere 44 MPs. Current leader Jagmeet Singh has had his problems — including appearing in interviews to not understand certain issues and seeing a mass defection of New Democrats to the Green cause in New Brunswick. But he did get elected in this year’s byelection in Burnaby South, which allowed him entrance to the House of Commons and, with that, much more media time. Will the tide turn?
Perhaps, though the polls right now do not look good. But, as they say, a day is a lifetime in an election campaign and voters will not cast their ballots until Oct. 21. Unfortunately for the NDP, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to break his grandest promise of the last election campaign — replacing the first past the post system with a form of proportional representation — means strategic voting is again in play. And that means even NDPers who identify as CCFers and have Tommy Douglas portraits on their walls may have to choose another party’s candidate as they try to determine which of the two leading parties they would prefer to form government. As for Currie — Dock, not Iain — he has the benefit of running without a care in the world. Nobody expects a victory, so he can campaign with little to no pressure, which should free him and his team to be less inhibited on the campaign trail, which we have already seen this week with his targeted criticism of Lake on Twitter. Of course, if the NDP continues to attack the Liberals and the Greens keep working to grab votes that went to the Liberals and NDP in 2015, that will be just fine with incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, who secured her third term in 2015 precisely because of a Liberal/NDP vote split. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor: It is sad to read the letter written by Melrose MacKie about the accident she had during her walk at McArthur Island (‘Good Samaritans strike after fall,’ Aug. 30). My family went to inline skate at McArthur Island the other day and the path is terrible. My kids fell several times and quit the activity afterwards. Inline skating is fun, but it is the path on McArthur Island that is terrible. There are cracks and bumps everywhere and little ponds with dirty rain water right in the middle of the road. Even driving the ring road is difficult. I don’t live on the North Shore, so I don’t have to go to McArthur for recreational activities, but I feel that the conditions of the path and road are terrible. We are not going to abandon this island, right? Make it enjoyable please. Frank Zen Fan Kamloops
ONE WAY TO PEOPLE-CENTRIC SPACE Editor: Re: Coun. Denis Walsh’s desire to change one-way streets downtown into two-way routes (‘Kamloops councillor wants one-way streets scrapped,’ Aug. 12): Walsh is right on this one. City planners now admit that when the car was king and people were gleefully flocking to the suburbs, they truly just wanted to zip in and zip out for work and get through the downtown areas. In those heady driving days, it made sense to create one-way streets to get them on their way. City planners then noticed downtowns were dying. There may have been people working there, but there was not much else going on. No one was walking strolling, lingering or living their lives there.
City planners watched dead downtowns turn into unhealthy cities. They now know a living, healthy, vibrant downtown requires not only people working there and living there, but it requires people doing their business there. It requires people lingering there. It requires people enjoying recreation right there. That calls for streets and spaces where people want to be out of their cars. We travel to places around the world to linger in downtowns that are people-friendly. Some have a few streets with no cars on them. There are tiny laneways going off those streets that we relish exploring for interesting spaces and cubby-hole shops. Businesses there are thriving.
Beautiful Victoria Street is such an example. It has become a uniquely popular street for people shopping, taking time, sitting in cafes and listening to street music. The time has come to revisit traffic zipping through on Lansdowne and Seymour streets. We now have more people living downtown and a growing number of walkers and cyclists and people who do all their errands and shopping on foot. Planners notice these peoplepowered dwellers are the ones who aren’t polluting, aren’t adding to the noise-scape and don’t require a vehicle-sized parking space. They support downtown businesses because that’s where these people do their business. Imagine what it would be like for
all three east-west downtown streets in Kamloops to invite that kind of living and commerce. Two-way streeting is hardly going to reduce traffic to a crawl. What is it going to add — one minute or maybe two to traversing downtown? Come on, people. If we are going to poll people in Kamloops and ask if we should turn one-way streets into two-way routes, let’s ask them to specify if they are walkers, cyclists or vehicle drivers. Let’s qualify their choice with that single bit of information. Then we are left to ponder — do we want a city that is evolving into a people-centric space or car-centric space? Margaret Archibald Kamloops
WHY NOT PLEDGE TO GIVE THIS METHOD A SHOT? Editor: Is an ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure? When put in terms of, say, the annual influenza vaccine and reminders to wash our hands, that old saying seems to have some validity. How about in terms of alcohol and drug addiction and the problems we see every day? When I read a recent Ask An Addict column in KTW, it led me to recall some years
ago when I had the pleasure of teaching youngsters in what was called Junior Soldier class. One of the things I remember teaching them was “no drugs, no smokes, no booze” as they would decide whether to sign a pledge to abstain from smoking, drinking alcohol and doing drugs. Signing a pledge as a young person somehow means something when you

are that age. Somehow, during the classes, the teacher has persuaded his or her students that there are life benefits to abstaining from those things. It means that even though peer pressure might come along to tempt one to drink
or smoke or do drugs, that girl or boy can remember the day they signed a pledge and made a commitment. And it means there is support to help the young person from becoming a statistic of addiction later in life. Is it such a novel idea? I don’t think so. Does it mean the person will have a boring life because they have promised not to drink or smoke or do drugs?

I don’t think so. Ask any law enforcement officer what she or he might think of the idea and I would like to hear their answers. I would guess they have far fewer calls to break up a fight at a church picnic than during bar flush downtown or at a nuisance property almost any night of the week.

MOTORCYCLIST ALLEGEDLY SPEEDING ON WESTSYDE ROAD CRASHED ON TUESDAY, SHORTLY AFTER A MOUNTIE ACTIVATED VEHICLE’S LIGHTS AND SIREN KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The province’s police watchdog is investigating after a crash in Westsyde this week sent a motorcyclist to hospital with serious injuries. According to Dawn Roberts, BC RCMP communications director, at 4:20 p.m. on Tuesday, a Kamloops Mountie was conducting speed enforcement on Westsyde Road, near Westsyde elementary, the school that reopened this week after being closed since 2006, leading to a return of a 30 km/h school zone in the area. Roberts said the officer saw a motorcycle travelling toward him in excess of the speed limit. As a result, she said, the officer activated his lights and siren and turned his patrol car around in an attempt to conduct a traffic stop. “Soon after, the police officer located the motorcycle further

down the road at a collision with a pickup truck,” Roberts said. “The male driver of the motorcycle was transported to hospital, suffering from serious injuries.” Roberts said the occupants in the truck were uninjured.” Roberts said the scene of the collision with the pickup truck was examined by Kamloops Mounties and has been completed. The local detachment’s investigation into that portion of the incident is ongoing. Police are asking for any witnesses or individuals to call
250-828-3000 and reference file 2019-30648. As a result of the incident, the Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia (IIO BC) is investigating to determine whether police actions or inactions are linked to the man’s injuries. According to a social media post from a woman believed to be the motorcyclist’s wife, Patty Hall, the man sustained a broken pelvis, concussion and broken wrist. Hall said her husband doesn’t remember anything about the accident.

Working together to prevent suicide, alleviate suffering
S
ept. 10 is recognized internationally as World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD). WSPD is an opportunity for the community to come together to promote understanding about suicide and catalyze changes that prevent suicide and alleviate suffering for those impacted by suicide. This year’s theme, Working Together to Prevent Suicide, is a reminder that we all can play a part in preventing suicide, which is the ninth-leading cause of death in Canada overall and the second-leading cause of death for youth younger than 24. The impact of suicide ripples out to countless individuals, families, groups and communities. Suicide is complex and, if we’re being honest, it often evokes uncomfortable feelings. It can be difficult to know where to start, so below are simple actions you can take on WSPD and every day to contribute to the cause. Attend an event in the community. Connecting with others through an awareness event can be a meaningful way to connect with others and raise awareness about suicide. Consider attending a public event for World Suicide Prevention Day in Kamloops on Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at St. Andrews on the Square, downtown at Seymour Street and Second Avenue. Help raise awareness through social media. The Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) publishes a toolkit for individuals, groups and communities to use and it includes images and resources that can be shared on social media. Visit the CASP website to download tools to spread the message about WSPD and suicide prevention. Light a candle by a window at 8 p.m. For the fourth year, people around the world will light candles at 8 p.m. on WSPD as a sign of light in the darkness. The candle shines as a beacon of

VIEW hope for those who are thinking about suicide, those who are affected by the suicidal thoughts of someone they care about and those who are impacted by suicide loss. Learn more about suicide and consider the language you use to talk about suicide. Visit the website for the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention or the Mental Health Commission of Canada to learn more about suicide, dispel myths and become familiar with suggested language to use when talking about suicide. For example, the term “committed suicide” comes from a time when suicide was criminalized. The term is considered stigmatizing. We now suggest using terms such as “died from suicide” to reduce stigma. Donate to suicideprevention causes. Two years ago, Canada launched its first national crisis hotline, with phone support available 24/7 and text and chat options available for a limited portion of the day. Although the need is incredibly great, Crisis Services Canada continues to struggle with consistent funding to ensure the resource remains available. Consider donating to organizations that support suicide prevention and help those in need. Reach out to someone who might be struggling. A leading theory of suicide suggests that people often experience suicidal thoughts when two difficult feelings occur at the same time — a sense of disconnection from others and feeling as though they are a burden on people they care

about the most. Often, fear prevents us from taking action — fear of not knowing what to say, fear of putting the idea in their head (the research says that this is not true), and fear of not knowing how to respond if someone says they are suicidal. While bringing it up can be difficult, you can simply start with, “I know you’ve been going through a lot lately. I want you to know I’m concerned about you.” Many times, being heard and feeling connected can help alleviate feelings of suicidality. You don’t have to have all of the answers, but you should be prepared to help find resources and information if needed. Have the resources listed below on hand in case immediate support is needed. Help someone create a life worth living. It’s not enough to prevent people from dying by suicide. We have to support everyone to create a life worth living. Think about what you can do to create a sense of community and encourage people to get involved in activities that are meaningful and life sustaining. We often think of suicide as an individual issue and, as the saying goes, when all you have is a hammer, all you see are nails. When we think of suicide as an individual problem, we think the solution is hospitalization or individual counselling for the person experiencing the crisis. For some people at the point of a suicidal crisis, these interventions are life-saving and absolutely essential. But there are typically many small moments leading up to a crisis where concerned family members, friends, neighbours, co-workers, teammates and community members can make a difference for people who might be struggling. Suicide is not an individual problem. It’s a social problem, a community problem and one that requires everyone working together. If this is a difficult day for you or perhaps a reminder of your own
struggle with suicidal thoughts or the loss of a loved one, please know you are not alone. Reaching out can be challenging, but finding a community, or even simply another individual, who understands can be life-changing. World Suicide Prevention Day is a starting point and what we do after that day matters, too. I encourage you to consider what small actions you can take to work together to prevent suicide.

month of the
September Kuromi Our KTW Timeraiser of the month for September is, in fact, September Kuromi. September brought this event to Kamloops in 2012 after seeing it in Toronto. She knew Kamloops would be a perfect fit for it, given the strong art and volunteer community for which we are known. September brought sponsors on board to pay local artists for their work and put on an art auction with live music and appies. During the event, people could bid on the pieces, but, instead of bidding money, they would bid volunteer hours for local nonprofit agencies. It was win-win for everyone. Kamloops This Week came on board as title sponsor to elevate

With writ to drop, KTW’s election coverage begins The federal election will be held on Monday, Oct. 21 and, under current legislation, the latest the election can be called is Sunday, Sept. 15. With the Manitoba provincial election set to be held next Tuesday, Sept, 10, it is believed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will wait until after that vote to visit Governor General Julie Payette and ask her to dissolve Parliament, thereby triggering the 43rd federal election in the country’s 152-year history. With the writ ready to drop within days, KTW is beginning its election coverage in today’s newspaper and online at kamloopsthisweek.com. We begin with a random sampling of voters in which we ask them what issue is top of mind as the election cam-
paign approaches. The answers are varied and may or may not reflect what candidates and party leaders are focusing on as they vie for precious votes. Next week, we will introduce KTW readers to the six candidates running in the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding: Dock Currie (NDP), Iain Currie (Green), Ken Finlayson (People’s Party), Peter Kerek (Communist), Terry Lake (Liberal) and Cathy McLeod (Conservative). Beginning on Sept. 11, profiles will run in successive editions of KTW and online. In addition, the pages of KTW and the Kamloops This Week website will feature a series of election topics, with candidates weighing in with their thoughts on various issues.
We will also examine the work being done behind the scenes and will augment our coverage with what voters should know in order to cast ballots and stories on the political narrative as it evolves during the campaign, from local, provincial and national perspectives as we work in tandem with Canadian Press and affiliated newspapers in B.C. For those wishing to quiz the candidates, KTW, in partnership with Radio NL and the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, will host a candidates’ debate. The always lively event will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 7 p.m. in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University. Watch the pages of KTW and kamloopsthisweek.com in the coming weeks for more information on the forum.
the ELECTION ISSUES, according to you TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
s summer prepares to fade into fall, the federal election campaign will come into sharper focus. As the candidates continue door-knocking for your vote, KTW ventured downtown and to the North Shore to ask a few people what issue is most concerning to them on the eve of the official campaign.
HEATHER TIPPE
DEBRA SKRIVER
RANI JOHNSTON
HEATHER TIPPE I would like to see more done for the senior citizens. There’s always things for other people, but for the seniors, they forget we exist or else all they talk about is how much money we cost the health board. There’s nothing really very positive said about the seniors and I would like to see that changed. Whatever party gets in, I feel it’s their duty to the seniors. We all make this country what it is and are we the forgotten bunch because we’re older now? I’d like an answer to that. DEBRA SKRIVER It’s the guns that we’re all worried about. I watched Global News the other day and they’re making bulletproof hoodies and backpacks for the kids and you and me growing up, we didn’t have to worry about that crap. We moved to Kamloops when I was five, so that was 1969, and we never locked our doors. And now you’ve got to be careful where you’re camping, you’ve got to be careful who you get help with on the side of the road. I wish it was way back in the ‘70s and ‘80s for my grandkids to grow up
because I’m terrified for them. They live in Nelson. My daughter thinks they’re safe, but you’re not safe anywhere.
And if that’s one way to bring down house prices, I get it, but that’s not a good idea for the people who do live here.
RANI JOHNSTON Even though it’s pretty far in the future, my son’s education, post-secondary, is a huge thing. I went through student loans and all that kind of stuff and it’s not fun, so just making the future better for him and not being stuck in life.
DAVID BORTH I suppose the most important issue for me is the economy. While Canada’s doing fairly well, I guess B.C.’s doing fairly well, [but] I think we’re making some choices at the federal level that are going to preclude continued prosperity, mostly around the energy sector, so I’m quite concerned about the positions taken by the federal government about the energy sector. Just that it seems to be as we try to pursue certain environmental goals, we’re forgetting the fundamentals of our economy — and that is energy, and energy is important to us all. And it’s important for pushing back on poverty and things like that. To the extent that the government isn’t giving enough room for the energy sector to continue its work and move our products to other markets, whether it’s movement of oil around Canada and out of Canada, that’s a pretty major concern for me.
ROB GENT I’d have to say the mass immigration idea, that we’re going to bring in people from a country who believe in polygamy, believe in child brides, honour killings. Now I understand under immigration, if you do it properly, and you do it selectively, it’s not a problem because people want to come here, want to assimilate into this wonderful way of life.
Oct. 31, 2019
Federal Election But when you bring in mass immigration of people who don’t want to be here, who don’t value our ideas or thoughts, huge mistake, and ultimately it’s going to bring Trudeau down, it’s going to bring this government down and everybody that’s connected around it. And if it doesn’t, and it does go through, 20 years from now, we’re going to have a social collapse due to the people that have come here who have out-bred us and have destroyed our way of life.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The KamloopsThompson-Cariboo NDP riding association has found a candidate to replace Gina Myhill-Jones, the 100 Mile resident who stepped down as candidate last month due to personal reasons. Now carrying the New Democrat flag in the federal election campaign is Dock Currie, a secondyear law student at Thompson Rivers University. Currie has also served as president of Simon Fraser University’s Residence and Housing Association and was opinions editor and staff writer for student newspapers at SFU and the University of Victoria. Upon graduating with honours from UVic, Currie
was Chancellor Bennett Scholar at York University in Toronto, as well as contract teaching faculty. In 2018, he began studies in law at TRU and was the recipient of the Dean’s Course Prize for Legal Perspectives. “From my studies, I have drawn a simple lesson — the wealthy and powerful in society have too much influence over and against society, too much power to warp our institutions and laws towards their interests and away from everyone else’s interests,” Currie said in a press release. “The system is rigged. I chose to study law in order to do something about those problems and the extreme inequality of wealth and
Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo NDP candidate Dock Currie said there is extreme inequality of wealth and power in Canada and across much of the developed world.
power in Canada and across much of the developed world.” Currie says his campaign will highlight social democracy, intervention into the political life of working people, Indigenous peoples, LGBTQ2S, vulnerable people and marginalized peoples. By filling the NDP’s candidate void, Currie joins five others vying
for the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP seat. They include Iain Currie (Green), Ken Finlayson (People’s Party), Peter Kerek (Communist), Terry Lake (Liberal), and Cathy McLeod (Conservative). Voters go to the polls on Oct. 21. Under legislation, the election must be called no later than Sept. 15.

Trains idling downtown focus of petition to city JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Lorne Street residents are fed up with trains idling in their downtown neighbourhood. Peter Bartel has lived in the area for more than a decade and, this past spring, he submitted a petition to city hall signed by
IN AN EMAIL TO KTW, CP EXPLAINS THE PROCESS more than 50 residents requesting the city meet with CP Rail to find a solution to the residents’ problem. The CP Rail Yard is located across the street from multiple apartment buildings. Bartel said trains idle “sometimes hours, sometimes days,” causing excessive noise, pollution
and posing a safety risk, due to unknown materials being transported by rail. “You can’t sit on your deck when the engines sit out in front of you,” Bartel said. “You can’t breathe the air.” Bartel has a proposed solution — adding a heating system to
trains to keep engines warm and prevent the need for idling. However, he said he can’t get traction from CP Rail and it remains unclear why. He wants the city to push the issue. “Use common sense,” Bartel said. “But you can’t get through.” Coun. Arjun Singh
called it a “challenging situation” because the railway predates housing, noting if CP is operating within its regulatory requirements, there is no guarantee the railway will take action. Singh said he has facilitated communication between CP Rail and Lorne Street residents, add-
ing CP Rail had said it would arrange a meeting with the residents. In response to a query from KTW, CP said, via email: “Holding trains temporarily along the mainline, or on sidings, is a normal and necessary part of railroad operations. CP property is a heavy industrial zone, but we try to minimize the effects of our operation on
Low-income users get reduced transit fares in Kamloops A new transit program geared at reducing the cost of transportation for low-income residents begins in Kamloops this week. The CityPass is a partnership between the city and BC Transit, a one-year pilot program that will provide transit passes for up to 1,000 adult residents at 15 per cent of the regular cost. Passes are available to those based on supply and income threshold, about $21,000 for one-person households, $39,000 for families of four and into the mid-$50,000-range for larger families. Seniors and students are ineligible for the program. Transportation has been identified as one of the largest barriers to accessing subsidized recreational activities throughout the city. To apply, go online to Kamloops.ca/CityPASS. Passes are available for one, three or six months. To qualify for a CityPass, you must: • be a permanent Kamloops resident; • receive income assistance; • have an annual income below the low-income threshold set out by Statistics Canada.

B.C. rent increases to be held to 2.6% next year KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Annual rent increases in B.C. will be capped at 2.6 per cent for 2020, up from 2.5 per cent this year, based on the B.C. government’s formula. The province changed the formula last year, removing an additional two per cent above the annual inflation rate that was in place since 2004. The rent cap is based on the average 12-month increase in B.C.’s Consumer Price Index, as measured up to July and set in September. Landlords now must apply to the Residential Tenancy Branch for rent increases greater than the cap, based on the cost of significant repairs or renovations that were not anticipated, or financial loss from an “extraordinary increase in operating expenses of the residential property,” according to B.C.’s residential policy guideline. For people renting in manufactured home
parks, the maximum increase is the same, plus a proportional amount for increases in local government charges and utility fees. Landlords must provide three months notice for rent increases. Assistance in dealing with disputes over rent, landlord access, inspections and other issues is available through the B.C. Residential Tenancy Branch. The provincial government has also decided to strengthen protection for renters and limit evictions related to renovations. In July, the province increased compensation for bad-faith evictions, strengthened requirements for eviction notifications and issued new Residential Tenancy Branch guidelines. These include guidelines on the limited types of major repairs that truly require vacancy, the good-faith requirement, necessary permits required by landlords and case law regarding renters’ ability to sustain tenancies
City has created online map of all underground utilities The City of Kamloops has released an online map to show residents and contractors where its underground utilities are located. The idea is to have infrastructure locations identified before excavation or construction work begins. The map allows people to locate water, sanitary, drainage and irrigation infrastructure. It can be searched via an interactive online map or be printed. According to the city, hitting utilities during ground work can damage costly infrastructure and be dangerous. Additionally, structures have been inadvertently built on top of utilities, leading to accessibility issues for city crews in situations such as leaks or blockages. To find city-owned underground utilities, go online to kamloops.ca/utilities.

during renovations. Tenant Resource and Advisory Centre executive director Andrew
Sakamoto said he supports the amendment to the rent increase formula.
“Although more can still be done to improve rental affordability in B.C., reduc-
ing rent increases by two per cent is a step in the right direction,” Sakamoto said.
“A rent increase of 2.6%, rather than 4.6%, will lead to real savings for B.C. tenants.”

Kamloops RCMP have mapped out 57 thefts from motor vehicles that occurred last week, from Aug. 26 to Sept. 1. Mounties have been reporting thefts from vehicle statistics to media for nine weeks. On average, there has been 47 thefts from motor vehicles each week. “These maps are not just a reminder to motorists to lock their vehicles, but also to all citizens, to remind them that if they see suspicious behaviour in their neighbourhood, to call the police,” Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said, when announcing the mapping project. The week-by-week maps and data on them can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com. REPORTED THEFTS FROM VEHICLES: Aug. 26-Sept. 1: 57 Aug. 19-25: 35 Aug. 12-18: 36 Aug. 5-11: 43 July 29-Aug. 4: 43 July 22-28: 39 July 15-21: 48 July 8-14: 60 July 1-7: 58
Probe into burning car continues Mounties continue to investigate after Kamloops Fire Rescue extinguished a car fire on Rose Hill Road last week. On Aug. 29, at 8:25 p.m. firefighters responded to an abandoned vehicle burning in an area off the road near Rose Hill Park, platoon Capt. Wade Lindoff told KTW. The flames had spread to nearby grass by the time 12 firefighters arrived and doused the blaze, which Lindoff said was 15 metres by 25 metres in size. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined, but it is considered suspicious in nature. “Normally, if your vehicle catches fire, it’s quite likely you stay on scene until we get there, and being that there was nobody there, it leads one to believe it could be suspicious,” Lindoff said. Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Sascha Fesenko said police are trying to contact the registered owner of the vehicle as part of the investigation into the incident.

The correct information is as follows: On Saturday, Sept. 7, a day before the annual Kamloops Multiple Myeloma March, the Kamloops Myeloma Education Day will be held at the Japanese Cultural Centre, in North Kamloops at 160 Vernon Ave. The event will run from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. is open to the public and will feature discussions from oncologists, kinesiologists and more. To register, call 250-320-7068. The Multiple Myeloma March itself will take place on Sunday, Sept. 8, in Pioneer Park, with registration at 9 a.m. and the walk beginning at 10 a.m.

School District 73 will be well represented at the 2020 Canada 55+ Games, which will take place in Kamloops next August over four days, The Games, which will run from Aug. 25 to Aug. 28, will use school gymnasiums at South Kamloops secondary, Kamloops School of the Arts, Pacific Way elementary, Sa-Hali secondary and Valleyview secondary for competitions. In addition, school buses and bus drivers will be needed to transport the athletes. Next year will be the first time the Games are held west of the Rocky Mountains, bringing more than 2,500 participants to compete in 24 different events. According to a trustee report from SD73 secretary treasurer Kelvin Stretch, the timing of the Games is favourable as schools will not yet be in session and most maintenance work will have already been completed ahead of the 2020-2021 school year. The Kamloops-Thompson school board approved the request to provide school facilities for com-

If you know who was behind the theft, or if you know where the boat is sitting, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

The incident occurred in a residential area of Dallas, according to BC Coroners Service spokesperson Andy Watson.
WorkSafeBC is investigating the accident to determine the cause of the incident, and any contributing factors, so that similar incidents can be prevented from happening in the future, a Worksafe BC senior manager of media relations told KTW via email.

A turning point after three small victories?
H
ave we reached peak fascist in Europe? Well, all right then, peak hard-right nationalist, but are we there yet? That would be reassuring — and three events in the past week give some cause for hope. First, on Sunday, Germany’s far-right party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), failed to win first place in the two state elections in which it had a chance of forming the government: Saxony and Brandenburg. Both states seethe with resentment because former East Germany is still poorer than the western part of the country 30 years after reunification. Never having experienced immigration under communist rule before 1990, many people in the east live in permanent panic about being overwhelmed by immigrants (although there are actually very few immigrants there). So, out of Germany’s 16 states, Brandenburg and Saxony should have been the easiest wins for the AfD — but they didn’t win. They came a close second in both states, but they were beaten by an unusually high turn-out, clearly made up largely of people who don’t ordinarily bother to vote, but realized their votes were needed to stop the AfD. Secondly, on Tuesday, it became clear that the hardright League Party in Italy has been comprehensively snookered. Back in the days, when it was the Northern League,
GWYNNE DYER World
WATCH it was more openly racist and wanted to secede from Italy to get away from the allegedly lazy and corrupt southern Italians. “South of Rome lies Africa,” as the nastier variety of northern Italians say. The League, although renamed and prettied up, is still the Nasty Party, but for the past 18 months, it has been in a coalition government with the anti-establishment (but not so nasty) Five-Star Movement (M5S). The League was doing well in the opinion polls, however, so its leader, Matteo Salvini, broke up the coalition in the hope of winning sole power in a new election. Instead, the FiveStar Movement found a new coalition partner, the Democratic Party, and the League is out in the cold. On Tuesday, 79,634 members of the M5S ratified the deal in an online vote — the party is ultra-democratic — and the League may have to wait another threeand-a-half years for a general election. Maybe by then its polling numbers will be down. Then there’s the United Kingdom, where new Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson met Parliament for the first

time on Tuesday and immediately lost a key vote — because 21 members of his own party voted against him. Boris — he is known as “Al” to his friends, family and many lovers, but he switched to “Boris” as a young man because he thought it was more memorable — is not a neo-fascist. He is not ideological at all, just an opportunist who will wear whatever identity gets him where he wants to go. At the moment, his identity is hard-right English nationalist. Many of the people around him have drunk the Kool-Aid, however, and really are Little-Englander nationalists who don’t care if Brexit breaks up the United Kingdom. Together they have hijacked the Conservative Party. Johnson is currently pretending to negotiate with the European Union while actually planning to crash out of the EU in a no-deal exit that would do severe damage to the British economy. But it would secure his own political future as the man who finally delivered Brexit (albeit a Brexit far more extreme than anybody imagined back when they voted for it in 2016). Such a Brexit would create enormous opportunities for the disaster capitalists who have been quietly funding the Brexit movement and who hope to asset-strip a crippled England. It certainly offers the non-English parts of the United Kingdom, and especially Scotland, a perfect pretext for holding independence referendums
of their own. But Johnson’s political future is unclear. He is currently a contender for the title of shortest prime ministership in British history because his defeat in Parliament and the defection of so many moderate Conservative members of Parliament means there will have to be an election, which Johnson may well lose. There have been no epic victories this week, no decisive turning points. The virus of nationalism still infects the politics of many European countries and even the longterm future of the European Union, guarantor of peace in the continent for the past 60 years, cannot be taken for granted. But, clearly, the farright nationalists can lose as well as win. That should have been obvious, but the populists seemed almost unstoppable when they first surged to prominence in 2016. Brexit and Donald Trump, then Hungary and Poland, then Italy and Germany. The only question was: Who is next? Now the bloom is off the rose. They win some, they lose some — and they lost three big ones in the past week. They will doubtless be around for quite a while, but we may be nearing peak populist.

Success of pink salmon passing slide is in question LILLOOET — Officials are uncertain whether limited success in getting some salmon species past the Big Bar rock slide in the Fraser River will work with smaller fish expected to arrive in the coming days. Michael Crowe with the Department Fisheries and Oceans said an estimated 1.5-million pink salmon will pass through the remote area, but noted they are weaker swimmers than chinook and
sockeye. Coho and steelhead will show up soon afterwards. He said engineering work to blast rock obstructing the passage of five species of salmon is challenging. Crews have managed to transport nearly 60,000 salmon by helicopter since the slide was discovered in June. Crowe said plans are underway to get a so-called spider excavator to the base of the slide so it can use wheels or legs to
go around difficult terrain and allow for rocks to be blasted and removed. He said federal, provincial and First Nations officials are working to deal with challenges in the area where a new road has been built to transport fish at night when helicopters can’t fly. — Canadian Press The Big Bar rock slide occurred in the Fraser River in July.

Making car insurance better for B.C. To get the car insurance system back on track and better for B.C., we’re making changes to it. One of the biggest improvements we can make is changing the way premiums are set. So, on September 1st, we moved to an insurance model that’s more driver-based. This means each driver’s experience and crash history plays a bigger role in determining premiums. Plus, crashes now follow the driver, not the vehicle, and all drivers are more accountable for their driving decisions.
What this means for you Under the new model, we expect that around 55% of drivers with full coverage will pay less for insurance than they do today. This will depend on a few key factors:
Your experience
The more driving experience you have, the bigger your discount. Inexperienced drivers will continue to receive discounted premiums, but these have been reduced to better reƃect the risk they represent on the road.
Your crash history
The more at-fault crashes a driver has, the more they’ll pay for car insurance. This is in line with feedback we got from B.C. drivers on how premiums should be set. It won’t impact how much money ICBC receives, it’ll help rebalance the system so that it works for everyone.
Who else drives your car
With the new model, every driver’s experience and crash history plays a bigger role in determining premiums. That’s why we’re asking you to list the people who drive your car. This should include
people you live with, your employees and anyone else, like friends or relatives, who use your car more than 12 days in a year.
How to list drivers on your policy When you visit your Autoplan broker to renew or buy insurance, please bring the driver’s licence number and date of birth of each driver you want to list on your policy. To list out-of-province drivers you’ll also need the jurisdiction of their licence (for example, Alberta) and their full name.
New discounts
The new insurance model also includes two new discounts: 10% off for vehicles driven less than 5,000 km per year, and 10% off for vehicles with autonomous emergency braking (AEB).
How to check if these apply to you If your car is driven less than 5,000 km in a year, please bring a current photo of the odometer reading to your Autoplan broker. You can also check your ownership manual, or call your dealership, to see if your car has factory-installed autonomous emergency braking.
Find out more To learn more about these changes and what they mean for you, visit icbc.com/change. Once you get your renewal reminder, you can also access our online estimation tool to pre-list drivers and get a better idea of what your premium might be before visiting your broker.

Luxury in the locks of Canada’s capital JAMIE ROSS
SPECIAL TO KTW
travelwriterstales.com
I
was awake early, bringing a coffee to the upper sundeck. We had moored for the night in an enchanting glade below the Burritt’s Rapids Lock and I am greeted this morning to a pink sunrise over the Rideau River. The grey mist that cloaked the locks at first light had now drifted away. I am reminded of the old saying, “Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning,” but since my wife and I aren’t sailing, but rather travelling aboard an impressive 45 foot luxury rental yacht along the historic Rideau Waterway, I’m not concerned. We push off and set a course north. The Rideau River stretches on before us, here and there hemmed by marshland, its glassy surface offering up a mirror image of the ragged shoreline. Smart homes and orderly farms slip past, the landscape getting more civilized, but no less interesting, as we get closer to the Canadian capital. Our yacht is so expansive that my wife and I do not have to interact if we don’t want to — but, of course, I do cherish her navigational input. Our smartly designed vessel comes with four berths featuring double beds, ensuite bathrooms with showers, a spacious fully equipped galley and a dining area with big windows, allowing plenty of natural light. The upper deck has a barbecue, wraparound seating and lounging chairs. Bridge controls can be switched from up top to below in case of inclement weather. For such a large yacht, it is surprisingly easy to operate ,even in the narrow locks, with sidethrusters and an ingenious wraparound bumper system.
The boat’s speed is capped at 10 km/h to control rambunctious skippers such as myself. For 50 years, Le Boat has allowed visitors to access Europe’s most spectacular waterways. In the summer of 2018, the company brought its luxury cruisers to North America for the first time, to the Rideau Canal. The experience in Europe has allowed Le Boat to perfect the
business of rental yachts and, best of all, the prices are surprisingly affordable. You set your own course and encounter things at your own pace. There is no worry about finding accommodations; our cruiser is like a floating villa. One of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Rideau Canal is the oldest continuously operated canal system
in North America. We had started our journey at Le Boat’s new base in the community of Smith Falls — the hardest decision of the whole trip was whether to head south through the bigger lakes on the Rideau chain toward Kingston or northward through the narrower river passages to Ottawa. Being lovers of river travel, we decided on Ottawa.

wellsgraytours.com
Whichever direction, when you’re cruising along the Rideau Canal, you’ll want to take your time, use the optional bikes and kayaks onboard to explore the charming rural communities and drop into the quirky shops, waterside pubs and restaurants. We make a little side trip to one of Ontario’s best-preserved stone villages, the Town of Perth. The town’s stone heritage must be credited to the builders of the Rideau Canal, after canal mastermind Col. John By brought in a number of Scottish stonemasons to work on the stone locks and lock buildings. When the waterway was completed, many of these masons stayed and used their skills. Their beautiful stonework graces the whole length of the waterway. We stop at the Jewel of the Rideau, Merrickville, whose 19thcentury stone architecture and Blockhouse Museum are worth a visit. Burritt’s Rapids is peaceful birdlife and nature. From there, we reach vibrant Ottawa and Le Boat allows us to dock in the city and have all the amazing Ottawa experiences; restaurants, museums and attractions. A final set of eight flight locks by the Parliament Buildings provides a spectacular drop to the Ottawa River, but we must turn south and make our way back to Le Boat’s Smith Fall’s base. Canal and river travel offer peace and relaxation. There is a steady spattering of locks to keep the boater busy, but otherwise there is little to interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the country. We find the pace of our Le Boat Rideau journey wonderful. The changing scenery and characters we meet lead to new adventures and discoveries around every bend.

Controversial anti-abortion film will show at Paramount Unplanned will play three nights beginning Sept. 27 SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
he Kamloops Film Society has avowed not to censor community groups as it plans to rent its newly acquired Paramount Theatre for private screenings of the controversial anti-abortion film Unplanned. Board chair Tom Friedman said the Kamloops Pro Life Society approached the film society about hosting a screening of Unplanned. Following “extensive discussions” over the summer, Friedman said, the board decided to accept the rental and allow the group to show the film at the theatre, downtown at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue. “We wanted to make sure we were open. We don’t believe in censorship,” Friedman said, noting the decision was unanimous, although some on the seven-member board were initially “very concerned.” Friedman said he knew the film was controversial and might even elicit protests — be it people in front of the Paramount or letters to the editor in disagreement. “We feel we’re on really firm ground and want to be open to community groups — and the Pro Life Society is a community group,” he said. “And whether people believe in their views or not, we have to respect that.” Friedman said the film isn’t one the Kamloops Film Society would select to show in its weekly film series “because we have to balance the needs of our core audience.” But, he added, the society decided
LOCAL CREATOR BEHIND NEW WEB SERIES The Understudies/A29
against shutting out community groups. “This was a decision the society’s board made, that the theatre is going to rent to groups no matter how controversial the material presented is,” Friedman said. “We’re willing to stand by that policy.” “If people take shots at us, so be it. That’s part of being in a diverse community.” Earlier this year. screenings of Unplanned planned by Salmar Theatres in Salmon Arm were cancelled after a board member claimed he received threats via social media. The Shuswap Pro-Life Society hosted a private screening of the film at that same theatre at a later date. The Kamloops Film Society took over operations at the Paramount in April after Landmark Cinemas decided to cease operations there. Ron Fawcett’s Kelson Group purchased the building and promised a below-market rental rate to the KFS and gave the group an option to purchase the building in the future. Unplanned stars Ashley Bratcher, who plays a Planned Parenthood clinic director who becomes an anti-abortion activist after one day “she saw something that changed everything.” The film is based on a book by Abby Johnson. The Kamloops Pro-Life Society will screen Unplanned on three nights, beginning on Friday, Sept. 27. RIGHT: Kamloops Film Society chair Tom Friedman said the society’s board has avowed a policy of non-censorship when it comes to community groups.

Local filmmaker’s web series in the works since he was 16 The Understudies is a show about two 20-somethings trying to make it as actors in Kamloops is “absolutely” something he’d like to do as long as he can find the crew — background extras and other actors — to make it work. “We wanted to get those tall buildings and big city vibe in the first episode, but there’s a lot of stuff we could do in Kamloops,” he said. “It’s just a little harder to find if you don’t know too many people.” Childs has been involved in drama and theatre since Grade 8, when he started working behind the scenes on productions at Westsyde secondary. He didn’t step on the stage until Grade 11, but made the best of his time there, appearing in Dearly Departed and Murder Me Always under the tutelage of drama teacher Stephen Sawka. Childs also credits his teachers at Vancouver Acting School, from which he graduated in 2013, and his older brother, who also works in the film industry, for pointing the camera his way when he was just six years old. The series was something Childs said he has always come back to, especially after going through the rigors of auditioning and trying to make it as an actor fresh out of acting school in Vancouver.
SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
Kamloops filmmaker is hoping his crowdfunding efforts will allow him to complete the first season of a web series he’s been working on since he was 16 years old. The Understudies stars Cody Childs and Gareth Rees as two 20-somethings trying to make it in the competitive acting world, with no help from their dim-witted agent. Childs released the first episode of the series at the end of July and is now undertaking a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the remainder of the first season. The episode was created on Childs’ dime — something the 24-year-old Vancouver Acting School graduate has been saving for ever since he was a drama student at Westsyde secondary. “It started off about me trying to make it as an actor — sort of a mockumentary The Officestyle series. As I got older, it kept changing, and now we’ve been working on it for the past couple years,” he said. The first episode was filmed in Vancouver, but Childs said filming
Gareth Rees (left) and Cody Childs star in the first episode of The Understudies, available online on YouTube.
“You’re often thinking about trying to be something a lot of other people want to be — and I had this script, which is what I wanted to say. So I thought why not, instead of going out for auditions and getting rejection after rejection, to try just try making this series on my own to see if it gets noticed,” he told KTW.
The writing and planning work for the first season’s 10 episodes has been completed, Childs said. He plans to use the Kickstarter funds, if it’s successful, to carry out the work and make the show a reality. Beyond that, a second and third season are also planned out, but the dream is a little bigger.
“In a perfect world, I would love to get picked up by a network — CBC, Comedy Central — something like that would be great,” he said. To watch the first episode of The Understudies and to donate to the Childs’ Kickstarter campaign, go online to tinyurl.com/ the-understudies or find the series on YouTube.

We find the former students still living at the academy, albeit underground at this point, as the upper floors of the building were destroyed by the blast that could have ended the world — the consequences from the Academy’s previous adventure.

CLARIFICATION
In last week’s 2019 Readers Choice Awards section an ad ran from a business claiming to be #1 in the Junk Removal Company category. The winning business in the category was, in fact, Lightning Rubbish Removal. Kamloops This Week apologizes for the misunderstanding and offers its congratulations to Lightning Rubbish Removal!
Ages: 8+
have continued on in their lives and are trying not to reflect too heavily on the past. However, the past has a way of catching up with them and it’s difficult to avoid when it’s time to pay their dues. Just like last time, the world is poised on the brink of destruction when Number Five’s past comes calling. The team embarks on a time traveling adventure. Will they once again be able to stop the oncoming apocalypse by rewriting the past, or will their meddling cause even greater consequences for all involved? There are a bunch of interesting new characters in this volume, including a talking fish as well as my favourite henchmen on the Netflix series: Hazel and Cha-Cha. This volume has a lot of revelations, a few surprising twists and will challenge your assumptions of events from the first volume. We’ll have to wait to see what may be
included in season two of the series of Umbrella Academy. As with all great literature, there is nothing quite the same as reading the book and gaining much more insight into the motives of the characters within the story. Way is most recognized as front-man for the band My Chemical Romance and has written The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, Doom Patrol and Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye. He has shared writing credit in Marvel’s wildly popular Edge of Spider-Verse, introducing new characters that capture the imagination of many younger readers. Ba is a Brazilian comic book artist and has drawn in the series Casanova, BPRD: 1947 and Daytripper. He has also shared writing credit with his twin brother Fabio Moon on such titles as Roland – Days of Wrath, ROCKnROLL, Pixu and several others. Stewart’s colours are amazing as always, subtly setting a tone to the art that matches the pacing of the story. I highly recommend you check out Umbrella Academy, Dallas.

NEW YORK — Amazon. com is apologizing for a “technical error” which led to some copies of Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments, the year’s most anticipated novel, being “inadvertently”
sent early. The online giant issued a statement Thursday saying that a “small number” of customers received Atwood’s sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale before its Sept. 10 release date. Some readers have
posted photos of The Testaments on social media. Atwood’s new novel was tightly embargoed, a common publishing tactic for topical nonfiction such as political memoirs, but rare for fiction. Harper Lee’s
Scarlett Johansson stands by Woody Allen: ‘I believe him’

NEW YORK — Scarlett Johansson says she’s standing by Woody Allen because, “I believe him.” Much of Hollywood has distanced itself from the filmmaker since the MeToo movement prompted a re-examination of child sexual abuse allegations from his now-grown daughter, Dylan. Michael Caine, Timothee Chalamet and Greta Gerwig are among the actors who have publicly expressed regret over working with him. “I love Woody,” Johansson told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview released on Wednesday. “I believe him, and I would work with him anytime.” Allen helped boost Johansson to the A-list. He directed her in Match Point, Scoop and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She said she has spoken to Allen about the accusations and he maintains his innocence. He has never been criminally charged. Johansson is active in women’s issues and was among early supporters of Time’s Up. “It’s hard because it’s a time where people are very fired up, and understandably,” she said. “Things needed to be stirred up, and so people have a lot of passion and a lot of strong feelings and are angry, and rightfully so. It’s an intense time.” Johansson said she has had numerous conversations with Allen
about his past. “I have been very direct with him, and he’s very direct with me,” she said. Allen has yet to find a U.S. distributor for his films since Amazon pulled his deal last year. Allen has filed a $68 million lawsuit against Amazon. At the Women’s March in Washington last year, Johansson spoke about the importance of Planned Parenthood and women’s health. She criticized James Franco for wearing a Time’s Up pin to the Golden Globes just before the Los Angeles Times reported that five women accused him of sexual misconduct. Franco denies the allegations. A spokesman for Johansson did not immediately respond Wednesday to an email seeking additional comment.

LOS ANGELES — Congratulate Bob Newhart on recently turning 90, and he might offer a polite critique in return. “I’m not crazy about the term ‘turning,’” he says, chuckling. “Sounds like the leaves are going to fall off. I’m becoming 90.” As is true of the best comedians, Newhart is an impeccable wordsmith and has the career highlights and enduring success to prove his mastery. An inarguable description of Newhart’s precise and singularly droll take on life: ageless. The Button-Down Mind Of Bob Newhart, released in 1960, was the first comedy record to hit No. 1 on the Billboard pop album chart and made him the only standup, still, to win a Grammy as best new artist. He scored TV hits with The Bob Newhart Show in the 1970s and Newhart in the ‘80s, and delighted 21st-century viewers with his Emmy-winning turn as Professor Proton on The Big Bang Theory. The typed page of his famed bit in which President Abraham Lincoln gets image advice from a marketing consultant is going into the Smithsonian’s popular culture collection. Work keeps coming his way, including requests to mark his birthday on stage. But he decided he’d rather spend the day with his wife of 56 years, Ginnie, and their family. The Chicagoarea native talked about his staying power and early career to the Associated Press, with the interview edited for clarity and length. AP: When someone reaches an impressive milestone birthday, there’s an obligation to share tips with the rest of us hoping to get there.
Newhart: I’ve said it before, but of all the weird things, comedians’ marriages seem to last the longest: George Burns and Jack Benny and Buddy Hackett and (Bob) Hope. I think there’s something between longevity and laughter. You’ll be having a fight, and you’ll say something stupid and then start to laugh, and then she’ll start to laugh, and then the fight’s over. I think laughter is vital. It’s as vital as breathing. It gets you through difficult areas. Laughter is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. It’s like music, of a kind. AP: Is that part of what’s kept you working for so long? Newhart: I’m amazed at the longevity. The album had just come out, and I was just learning how to do standup and I was the opening act for Peggy Lee at the Harrah’s club in Lake Tahoe. I had 15 minutes of material and I did it, and the stage manager said, “Go back out. They’re applauding.” I said that’s all I had, and he said, “They’re applauding.” So I went back out and asked, “Which one do you want to hear again?” and they yelled out what they wanted. That’s how raw I was. I had a hit record and I was just starting out. I had to learn my craft backward. AP: You started out as an accountant. Is it hard to imagine that might have been your life? Newhart: I played a club before the album came out, and they (the audience) had no idea who I was and I died, every night. Not a snicker. You could hear the air conditioning. I would have welcomed a cough, just some sound coming from the audience. Every comedian in the world has gone through that. We did two shows a night, seven days a week, and that’s about the time that accounting

started to look really good to me. Then I played at another club, in Winnipeg, and it went well. And I thought, maybe I’ll stick around for a while. AP: Do you have an all-time favourite bit, maybe Lincoln? Newhart: That was Jack Benny’s favourite. I always felt Abe was the best piece of writing I ever did. It’s probably more true today than it was in 1960 when I recorded it. You see the machinations going on now. I read a book back then, Vance Packard’s The Hidden Persuaders, about subliminal advertising and packaging a product, including presidents. That’s what we’re all watching right now, the packaging. It’s the same way they package soap.

M
ost folks will agree the Kamloops Blazers are entering a winning win-
dow. How far they push this WHL season might depend greatly on their defence corps, which is seen by some to lack depth in comparison to the forward and goaltender groups. Quinn Schmiemann, an 18-year-old left shot from Wilcox, Sask., was drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning this summer after a breakout 17-year-old campaign, in which he improved throughout the season and peaked in the playoffs. He is welcoming the spotlight that comes with his drafted status. “I don’t know if it’s a different approach,” Schmiemann said. “I think it’s more responsibility to handle. But I think I can handle it. “We’ve got a good team this year. As long as I work hard at the rink and do what I’m supposed to do, everything will fall into place.” Montana Onyebuchi, 19, was named the Blazers’ top defenceman of 2018-2019, thanks in part to a dominant second half, and was a standout at the Calgary Flames’ development camp in July. The undrafted right shot from Dugald, Man., is among the most intimidating players in the league — he doesn’t have to fight anymore. And he can play. Onyebuchi and Schmiemann are at NHL camps, the former with the Flames, the latter with the Bolts, but are expected to return to Kamloops prior to the regularseason opener on Sept. 20, when Spokane comes to town. Luke Zazula, 19, was under the microscope last season after his 17-year-old campaign, in 20172018, did not live up to expectations established following his impressive 16-year-old year.
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE Montana Onyebuchi was not picked in the NHL Draft in the summer. He will likely be out to prove doubters wrong this season on the Kamloops Blazers’ blue line.
Blazers’ brass saw 2018-2019 as a bounce-back season for Zazula and have him pencilled in with Schmiemann and Onyebuchi as the squad’s top-tier defencemen. Sean Strange, 19, established himself as a dependable rearguard in the second half of 2018-2019, a quality penalty killer who will push for more ice time in 20192020. Inaki Baragano, an 18-yearold right shot from Lausanne, Switzerland, might turn out to be a key acquisition, selected this summer in the CHL Import Draft. “He’s a really good skater,

makes smart plays and is not afraid to jump up in the play,” Schmiemann said. “I saw him moving the puck pretty well, too.” How he progresses and adapts to the North American game remains to be seen, but early signs point to him being a solid addition, one who would go a long way in answering depth questions. Jackson Caller, a 20-year-old left shot from Kamloops, is a steady hand and a local player, which bodes well for him. But the Blazers’ overage situation is not solidified and Caller, named the team’s unsung hero

for 2018-2019, is among those who may feel unsettled, along with 20-year-old forwards Alec Zawatsky and Kobe Mohr. Jostling for the one or two available roster spots for newcomers on the back end are Trevor Thurston, 17, and 16-year-olds Ethan Brandwood and Logan Bairos. Each approach the game differently. Thurston has stood out for his physical presence and brashness, Bairos is a smaller, skilled, puckmoving D-man and Brandwood, who also skates well, makes a crisp
first pass and smart decisions. “I’m trying to get into the lineup, of course,” said Thurston, a 6-foot-2, 176-pound left shot from Delta. “You battle every practice, every game that I’m in to try and make the team. It would be a dream to play here this year.” Pre-season performance will be key to GM Matt Bardsley’s decision. The Blazers will play three games in three days this weekend in Langley — against Prince George on Friday, Victoria on Saturday and Vancouver on Sunday.

Broncos charging into three-game homestand MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Mixon Madland is the only true fifth-year Kamloops Bronco, a stalwart who has played with the B.C. Football Conference club since his rookie season. The 22-year-old South Kamloops secondary graduate is not asking for much in his swansong season — he just wants a win. “It sounds lame to say it, but a win would almost be the playoffs for me,” said Madland, whose Broncos are 0-4 and in the league basement. “People look at it and think, ‘Oh man, these guys are terrible. They got pumped,’ But every game this core gets better. It sucks for me that I’m on my way out this year.” Kamloops has six games remaining, three in a row at home before three consecutive road tilts. The Westshore Rebels of Langford will be in town on Saturday, bringing their 3-1 record to Hillside Stadium for a 6 p.m. start. “They’ve had some close games,” Broncos’ head coach Rob Ellis said. “They beat the [Valley] Huskers by one. There is lot of

parity in the league. Winning is a mindset. We just have to turn the corner there.” The Broncos are taking positives from their most recent game, a 47-35 loss to Valley at Hillside on Aug. 24. “Go through the stats,” Madland said. “There is one quarter of every game that we play ter-
ribly. The other team runs up the score on us. “All the other three quarters we’re battling, keeping pace, but we can never dig ourselves out of our own hole. Most games, it’s the third quarter.” Quarterback Nick Nica and the Broncos’ offence had breakout games against the Chilliwack-
based Huskers, who are secondlast in league standings at 1-3. Ellis was asked if the bye week might slow any momentum gained. He said the break came at a good time, as his team was dealing with a rash of injuries. He is also OK with the BCFC scheduling. “Revenue-wise, it’s great,” Ellis
said. “We’ve got three games early in September. There’s no smoke. So, hopefully, good attendance is a good thing for the board. And we don’t mind travelling.“ Madland is not bullish on the final stretch. “I wish it was mixed up a little bit,” Madland said. “The three games away for the last three games are going to suck.” The Broncos will play host to the Okanagan Sun (2-2) of Kelowna on Sept. 14 and the Vancouver Island Raiders (2-2) of Nanaimo on Sept. 21. Valley and Kamloops will clash in Chilliwack on Sept. 28. “That’s a game we’re definitely looking forward to,” Madland said. Westshore will host Kamloops on Oct. 5. The Broncos will finish the season against the Rams (4-0) in Langley. “The mindset has to be take the lessons that you can learn from these games,” Madland said. “It sucks in the moment and it’s going to suck for all of the guys who weren’t expecting to come from Saskatchewan and lose, but we are getting to the point where we’re starting to come together as a family and realize we’re going to learn a lot from this season.”

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops Blazers’ goaltender Dylan Ernst and brother Ethan Ernst of the Kelowna Rockets eye down a loose puck in pre-season WHL action last weekend at Sandman Centre.
Ernst, Lindgren, Spencer show stuff before leaving MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Three 15-year-old Kamloops Blazers’ prospects selected in the 2019 WHL Bantam Draft were sent home to their respective midget clubs on Tuesday, but not before leaving favourable impressions with team brass. Mats Lindgren, picked seventh overall, Dylan Ernst, a second-round pick and the first goaltender selected in the draft, and Tye Spencer, nabbed in Round 3, participated in training camp and played last weekend in both of the Blazers’ pre-season games. Blazers’ associate coach Darryl Sydor, a former NHL defenceman, was asked for his take on Lindgren, a 5-foot-8, 140-pound left shot reaguard from North Vancouver. “He’s got a lot of good intangibles,” Sydor said. “He’s a very good skater, he’s got great puck skills and really good vision. “Now, it’s just a matter of working with him on some habits, some details. There are things you can maybe do at other levels that you can’t do here yet. He’s recognized that. So the hockey IQ is there for understanding that.” Lindgren, the son of former NHLer Mats Lindgren, did not register a point in the Blazers’ weekend wins over Victoria and Kelowna. Spencer, a 5-foot-5, 135-pound forward from Saskatoon, scored a goal in each game. “It’s definitely faster, more fun, a lot of quick pace and you’ve got to adjust to it,” Spencer said. “I got
more comfortable and started not being afraid of going into the corners and getting loose pucks. “I was definitely nervous, didn’t really want the puck at first, but then, after a few shifts, I got used to it and it was awesome out there.” Ernst, a 6-foot-1, 160-pound netminder from Weyburn, Sask., played about 30 minutes against Victoria on Saturday and stopped all 10 shots that came his way. He allowed no goals on 17 shots in about 29 minutes of action against Kelowna on Sunday. The shutout performances must have been thrilling for mother, Bonnie, who was in the stands and also had a son playing for the Rockets, 17-year-old forward Ethan Ernst. “I don’t even know how she is right now,” Dylan Ernst told reporters when asked how his mother handles watching the brothers quarrel on the ice. “She might be fainted out in the stands right now. “I don’t know if she ever will get comfortable with it.” Lindgren is expected to play this season for Burnaby Winter Club’s midget prep team. Spencer will toil for the Saskatoon Contacts and Ernst for the Moose Jaw Generals in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League. The Blazers selected 6-foot-1, 170-pound forward Connor Levis in Round 1, 20th overall, in the 2019 bantam draft. Levis participated in training camp, but has not yet signed with the club and was ineligible to see preseason action.

Phil and Grace Hiom accomplished their goal for the Courmayeur Champex Chamonix (CCC) at the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, a 101-kilometre race that last weekend took runners through the Alps of Italy and Switzerland and into France. The couple that runs the Dirty Feet Trail series aimed to finish in less than 24 hours, a result that would qualify them to enter into a lottery for another of their bucket-list races, the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run in Squaw Valley, Calif. Phil clocked in at 22:43:11, good for 864th overall. Grace finished 912th overall, with a time of 22:58:44. Luis Alberto Hernando Alzaga of Spain posted the winning time of 10:28:49. Ragna Debats of the Netherlands won the women’s division, with a time of 12:10:33. Finishing is an accomplishment in itself. Nearly 600 runners were unable to complete the trek, many of whom were overwhelmed by temperatures hovering around 30 C. Runners had to finish the race, which gains more than 6,100 metres in elevation through the Alps, in less than 26 hours and 30 minutes. “There were lots of people being sick on the side of the trail and a lot of people lying down and quitting,” Phil said. The Hioms seemed on track to finish in less than 24 hours, but the last steep climb of the race was more technical than expected and they began to have doubts about reaching their goal. They may have underestimated that segment, but it seems they overestimated the difficulty of the final eight kilometres, down the ski hill and into the village of Chamonix. Phil and Grace finished that stint in about an hour to eclipse their goal by more than 60 minutes. Grace started ahead of Phil, so they were able to reach most aid stations together. They crossed the finish line, side by side, at about 8 a.m. on a beautiful Saturday morning in Chamonix. “It was amazing,” Phil said. A few friends in Kamloops and Alberta helped spur the Hioms while they were in the La Fouly, Switzerland, aid station, a loud, frantic place with people from all over the world speaking different languages as they regrouped ahead of the next stage. “All of a sudden, you hear over the loudspeaker, ‘Hey, Phil Hiom, check this out,’ Phil said. “I turn around and on a 60- or 70-inch screen is a video from people back home in our regular Tuesday running group in Kenna Cartwright Park.” Videos were sent in via a website and played in aid stations automatically when bib numbers were scanned. “We saw four of them,” Phil said. “They played on a loop. It was amazing.”

CANADIAN PRESS
MONT-SAINTE-ANNE, QUE. — Catharine Pendrel of Kamloops was going strong through the first half of last Saturday’s race at the Union Cycliste Internationale Mountain Bike World Championships. But a spill on a mound of boulders in the third lap of the women’s cross-country Olympic race proved a setback and left her needing stitches on her elbow en route to a 14th-place finish. France’s Pauline Ferrand-Prévot won gold, pulling ahead of the pack in the middle of the gruelling, six-lap, four-kilometre course to finish 43 seconds ahead of Jolanda Neff, the Swiss national champion, and 1:17 ahead of Australian national champion Rebecca McConnell, who led the race for
most of the first half. Pendrel was ranked 10th in the world going into the race and is likely to be one of Canada’s best hopes at next year’s Tokyo Olympics. The others, Emily Batty and Haley Smith, finished ninth and 12th, respectively. “Right now, I am still the secondranked Canadian,” said Pendrel, who won bronze in Rio in 2016. “We just all have to work hard this winter, and whoever has the best World Cup next year, that should be the person who should go. The Canadian Olympic team for Tokyo is likely to include two female cross-country mountain bikers. Smith and Pendrel are the frontrunners.

Batty will need a top-four finish and to place ahead of Pendrel at that race to bump the Kamloopsian off of the Olympic team. The only scenario in which Smith loses her spot is if Batty and Pendrel finish first and second, in any order, next year at the Czech Republic World Cup. “We’re in a good spot, it’s pretty exciting and it’s going to be a good motivation for all of us. I’ve been to three Olympics, so it would be amazing if I got to go to four,” Pendrel said. Slim are the chances of Canada sending three women’s crosscountry Olympic riders to Tokyo.

which sits fourth in overall UCI nation world rankings in the discipline, would have to climb into a top-two position by the cutoff day next spring. Leapfrogging the U.S. and the Netherlands, second and third, respectively, seems a tall task. Switzerland is well ahead in first place. Pendrel will cap the 2019 World Cup season this weekend in Snowshoe, West Va. The event is not an Olympic qualifier for Canadian riders, but Pendrel will be aiming to improve her world ranking and climb the overall World Cup standings. She is 10th after six races. Pendrel will return home for one week after the West Virginia event before wrapping the 2019 season with a race in Israel and a trip to Tokyo with Smith and Batty to get a peek at the Olympic course.

“
As U.S. vice-president, George H.W. Bush represented the nation at the funeral of former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, Bush was deeply moved by a silent protest carried out by Brezhnev’s widow. “She stood motionless by the coffin until seconds before it was closed. “Then, just as the soldiers touched the lid, Brezhnev’s wife performed an act of great courage and hope, a gesture that must surely rank as one of the most profound acts of civil disobedience ever committed — she reached down and made the sign of the cross on her husband’s chest. “There, in the citadel of secular, atheistic power, the wife of the man who had run it all hoped her husband was wrong. “She hoped there was another life and that that life was best represented by Jesus who died on the cross.” The above was written by Gary Thomas in Christianity Today’s Oct. 3, 1994, edition. The Gentile believers in the city of Ephesus had a great problem before they trusted Christ as their saviour. In Ephesians 2:12, they are described as “having no hope.” Their lives were limited to this life only; they had no hope for any future beyond this life. They had their idols, which some believed gave them hope beyond this life, but that belief was not based in any truth. Their false hope was based on stories or traditions of the particular idol. There were no witnesses to verify the truth of any of
JOHN EGGERS You Gotta Have
FAITH
the claims of any idol. So these people, before they trusted the Lord Jesus, were in a state of having no hope. There is something foreboding, like an approaching storm, that is placed in one’s heart by the thought of having no hope. There is something uncertain that is going to happen to someone who has no hope. Fear must be the inevitable result of being hopeless. In our world, there are multitudes that live in a state of uncertainty, lacking assurance regarding eternity, hoping for the best without any real expectation or sure hope beyond this life. There was an assembly of believers in another city called Thessalonica. Some of the believers had died and those who were still living had the thought that the ones who passed away had missed the return of the Lord for His own. Those living were described as sorrowing, as those who had no hope. Paul wrote to them, saying by the word of the Lord, those who had passed away had not missed
anything, but were going to be raised when the Lord returns. The believers who were still alive were comforted regarding those who had passed away. I want to draw attention to the phrase in 1st Thessalonians 4:13, where we read about sorrowing as they who have no hope. Hopelessness carries with it sorrow that cannot truly be comforted. But enough about hopelessness. The message of the Bible is a message of hope for the hopeless. Titus 1:2 states: “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.” This hope is a promise to us from the living God of the Bible. He promises eternal life to any who will put their trust in the Lord Jesus as the one who died for our sins and was raised from the dead to show His death on the cross was accepted as a sacrifice for our sins. This is glorious hope for the hopeless. It is possible to have this hope by faith in the Lord Jesus as one’s own personal saviour. Hebrews 6:19 states that the believer “has this hope as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.” John Eggers is an elder in the assembly that meets in Westsyde Gospel Hall in Kamloops.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis is giving the Catholic church 13 new cardinals, including two churchmen who have worked to help migrants and several others who toil in poor countries or nations where Christians are a minority. Several of his picks come from developing countries, like Cuba, Congo and Guatemala. Two are based in predominantly Muslim countries: Morocco and Indonesia. “Their provenance expresses the missionary vocation of the Church
to continue to announce the merciful love of God to all men on Earth,’’ the pope said last Sunday, before reading aloud a list of their names. Three of the 13 men are 80 years of age or older and thus ineligible to vote in any conclave to elect a new pontiff. Francis said he wanted to honour the three for distinguished service to the church, including a Lithuanian prelate who was sentenced to years in Soviet-era work camps and exiled to Siberia for his faith. The ceremony to formally give the churchmen the red cardinal hat
will be held on Oct. 5 at the Vatican. With Francis’ papacy heavily focused on the needs of those living on society’s margins, including migrants, he chose two men whose clerical careers reflect such concerns. One of them is Bologna Archbishop Matteo Zuppi, 63, an Italian who for some 30 years guided the Roman basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, whose doors literally have been opened to let the homeless sleep inside on cold winter nights. The basilica is the focal point for a Catholic
charity, Sant’Egidio Community, which runs programs including language instruction for newly arrived migrants, and distributes hot meals and clothing to them. The other is the Rev. Michael Czerny, a Jesuit like the pope, and named in 2016 by Francis to help lead a Vatican office concerned with refugees and migrants. Born in 1946 in what was then Czechoslovakia, he was raised in Canada. Long dedicated to social justice issues, he also served as executive director of the African Jesuit AIDS Network.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM With broken hearts and a river of tears we announce the sudden passing of Don Girbav at the young age of 63 years. He is survived by his three sons Scott, Stephen and Sheldon of Chilliwack, his mother Doreen, his sisters Brenda, Darlene (Ed), Cherry and Carla. He was uncle to Amber, Tiana (Brandon), Brayden (Jenna), Brandon (Laurel) and great-uncle to Presley, Rylee, Drew, Sullivan, Keala and Elia. He is predeceased by his father Clarence and nephew Tyler. Don was born in Prince Rupert, BC on January 22, 1956 and he lived and moved throughout BC with his parents and siblings until 1963 when they settled in Kamloops. He spent many years as a meat cutter where he moved throughout BC. After years as a meat cutter, he started up Don’s Docks, building environmentally friendly docks in the Shuswap and Okanagan areas. He also designed and built his own “tiny house” as it was called and which he lived in, using solar panels to provide power. He spent the past 20 plus years doing this and was proud to fight for the protection of the land on which we lived. He said it was our duty to look after the earth. He loved to be with nature and his recreation was snowmobiling, fishing and tending the three big greenhouses he built.
Vincent Raymond O’Hara December 28, 1923 - August 31, 2019
Ronald Wade McAfee 1935 - 2019
Don was a kind-hearted man full of love for his sons, his mom and all his family. He always tried to do as much as he could for all of them. Sometimes getting his point across to his family and friends was frustrating for him but nonetheless he kept at it. Whatever he did, he “did it his way.” You will be forever missed, never forgotten! In lieu of flowers, Don would ask that you please be kind to our planet! No service or celebration of life at Don’s request.
Please join us in a Celebration of Ron’s Life on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at 1:30 pm at the Desert Gardens Community Centre, 540 Seymour St, Kamloops, BC.
“I did it my way”
Vince left our world to be with his Lord, finally, dying peacefully in his sleep in the early morning of August 31, 2019 at 95 years of age.
Celebration of Life
Vince was the youngest of fourteen children born to Michael and Amanda O’Hara and the devoted husband of Mae O’Hara who passed away January 1, 2009. He was predeceased by all of his siblings and their spouses, so he was the last of the M. O’Hara‘s! He has 31 nieces and nephews and their various families all over BC, Alberta and Oregon.
Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director
Every Friday in KTW!
Q. We all want a bit of Murray. Do you handle that Drake?
Vince served in the Royal Canadian Navy in World War II and did 14 crossings of the North Atlantic. He was a faithful member of the Knights of Columbus and Legion member in Kamloops, where he and Mae ran the business of Mae’s Rug and Upholstery cleaning for years. His last years were spent at Ridgeview Lodge, where he had excellent care. We will miss his crooked grin and sparkling Irish eyes! Our Lady of Perpetual Help, guide him home. The Funeral Mass was recited at 1:00 pm on Thursday, September 5, 2019 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. Following the service, Vince was laid to rest in Hillside Cemetery with his beloved Mae. Celebrant, Father Jaison Tellis, OCD. !

He was predeceased by his parents Italo and Theresa Bertoncini, his brothers Giovanni and Francesco Bertoncini and his sister Maria Rossa Giorgetti.
Armando began his career as a plasterman/bricklayer and started his own masonary business with his brother-in-law Bruno Uliana and he retired from this business at age 55. He then pursued a new career in landscaping with Gino DeMarni. Armando was a very hard working man. Amazingly, he still found time to build four homes for his growing family! He also helped to build the expansion section of O.L.P.H. School. Armando was a proud member of the Columbo Italian Lodge where he was a volunteer bartender and director. Armando enjoyed travelling back to Italy to visit his family. He had a passion for fishing, camping, playing cards and bocce with his family and friends, gardening, cooking (especially his famous pizza and sausages), making wine, but most of all, spending time with his children, grandchildren and many other family members. Armando was always the first with his witty comments and we appreciated his sense of humour! Armando enjoyed mentoring the younger generation and he patiently spent time with them passing down his knowledge, skills and many talents. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at 11:00 am at St. John Vianney Parish with Father Praveen Jaison Tellis, Celebrant. The family would like to thank the many caring relatives for their loving support. Armando’s family extends their sincere gratitude to the compassionate care givers of 5-South and especially Doctor Genevieve Gabra. Should family and friends desire, they can make donations to the Alzheimer’s Society. Condolences may be made to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Mary Geraldine Glover (née Donnelly)
July 3, 1918 - August 30, 2019
Mary Geraldine, Gerry to friends, passed peacefully on August 30, 2019 at Royal Columbian Hospital with four of her six children by her side.

She is survived by her sons Don and Reg, daughters Carolann (Brett), Constance, Debra (Renato) and Lorraine, eight grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, her sister Lillian in Montreal and numerous nieces and nephews. Gerry grew up in Jacquet River, New Brunswick and spent 71 years in the Kamloops area before moving to New Westminster.

She moved to Library Square when she was 93 and then to New Westminster at the age of 101. Mom, Nana, Great-Nana, we will miss you deeply and love you forever. A Celebration of Mary Geraldine’s Life will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church September 16 at 10:00 am.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM In Loving Memory of Lorraine May Koble
Suzanne Bennett (nee Ross) June 1952 – August 2019
November 19, 1944 – September 8, 2018
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Suzanne (Suzie) Bennett (nee Ross) on August 19th at the age of 67 after a year-long battle with brain cancer. Suzanne was born in Regina, Saskatchewan in 1952 to Dulcie (nee Jones) and Maitland Ross, the third of nine children, and raised on the family farm in Milestone, Saskatchewan. Upon high school graduation, she moved to Kamloops, B.C. where she began nursing college. Within a couple of years there, she met her husband (Bruce) on a chance bus trip from Salmon Arm to Kamloops and were married almost 42 years. Together, they raised four children in Burlington, Ontario, and now have six grandchildren in B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia. She was a well-respected and well-known ICU nurse, having spent approximately 25 years at Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital in Burlington, Ontario, and then in Salmon Arm, B.C. at Shuswap Lake General Hospital for 15 years, up until last year when she became ill. Suzanne was a selfless woman of many passions and endless compassion for others. Although nurse by profession, she was also a self-taught home-renovator, seamstress, gardener, long-distance runner, hiker, stock trader and reader. Suzie/Mom/Granny will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her soft, caring nature and incredible strength, determination and resiliency. Her legacy for taking care of those around you, creating and leaving things better and more beautiful than when you found them, continues to live on in her children and grandchildren. Suzanne leaves behind her husband (Bruce), children Sharon (Scott), Pamela (Esmeraldo), Diana (Chris), and George, grandchildren Maitland, Aidan, Liam, Margaret, Henry, Clare, sisters Rosemary, Shelley, Julie, brothers Robbie, Jim, George, mother-in-law Mae, sister-in-law Joan and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. She is predeceased by her parents, sister Heather and brother Joel. A special thank you to Dr. Jeremy Sawatzky-Martens, Dr. Main, Dr. J.F. Chevalier, the doctors and nurses at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, and the nurses at Bastion Place for their kindness and care during Suzanne’s difficult last year. Another special thank you to Joyce, although retired, continues to live by ‘once a nurse, always a nurse’. Suzanne received the highest standard of care that she, herself, would have given to any of her patients and their families. Suzanne’s heart and soul were in the community of Salmon Arm – she loved it, and the beauty and bounty it offers. To honour her, benches will be placed in her name at McGuire Lake and Canoe Beach. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life is planned for October. Stories and notes of condolences are greatly appreciated and can be sent to Suzanne’s Obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation or The Terry Fox Foundation, or just be kind to someone today. Paul Palmer

& CREMATION SERVICES
Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared.
It has been one year without your cheerful outlook and wisdom. We were so blessed to have you for the time that we did. You are not forgotten; your friends and family all miss you everyday.
I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.
Love Wilf and family.

The Little Unicorn by Peggy Kociscin, Albuquerque, New Mexico
There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue.
He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees. He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.
His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.
The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.
But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.
In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams. The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.
But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.
To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.
He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.
A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.” His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!
He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.
He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun. The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.
His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring... The lonely, bitter tears.
All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do. That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.
He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light. He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.
For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.
She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can. There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”
His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start. Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.
