ABACUS CLAIMS IT IS WORKING TO REVIVE AJAX MINE PROJECT KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Decals reminding commuters to pay attention when crossing railway tracks have been added to crossings in Kamloops. MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW
2019 RAIL SAFETY WEEK
Look, listen, live is the message MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER

Eight new warning decals have been placed at two Kamloops train crossings thanks to Operation Lifesavers Canada. On Monday, dignitaries unveiled one of four yellow triangular signs with the message
“Look, Listen, Live” that now grace the pavement at the Third Avenue train crossing near the Canadian Pacific Railway yard — marking the first day of Rail Safety Week and the latest series of train safety videos from Operation Lifesavers Canada’s #STOPTrackTragedies campaign. Four other decals have been painted at the Lorne Street
crossing downtown, east of Sandman Centre. “Our hope is that when pedestrians, cyclists and drivers see these decals at the crossing, they’ll be reminded to stop, look in both directions [and] listen for oncoming trains,” said Sarah Mayes, national director of Operation Lifesaver Canada.

The controversial Ajax copper and gold mine project may not be dead. The project is coowned by Poland-based KGHM International and Vancouver-based Abacus Mining & Exploration Corporation. KGHM owns 80 per cent of interest in the project, while Abacus has a 20 per cent share. In a Sept. 23 newsletter to investors, Abacus president and CEO Paul Anderson said both Abacus and KGHM are preparing to “potentially” resubmit an environmental application. The proposed open-pit mine south of Aberdeen required approval by both the provincial and federal governments to proceed.
In December 2017, the application was rejected by the provincial NDP government. At the time, Environment Minister George Heyman and Mines Minister Michelle Mungall said the openpit mine would have significant, adverse effects that were not outweighed by its potential benefits. These included effects to Indigenous heritage and traditional land uses, and to human health, air quality and grasslands eco-systems. Heyman called the environmental review process “substantial, thorough and fair,” noting the length and level of engagement. “Ajax remains a priority for both Abacus and for our partner, who have begun the pro-
cess of re-engaging the project stakeholders,” Anderson wrote in the Sept. 23 newsletter to Abacus investors. “This process is being undertaken with a view to satisfying new provincial and federal environmental regulations which are now, or are about to be in effect, which include advance reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.” Despite the December 2017 rejection of the project by Victoria, Anderson said Abacus and KGHM have “continued to work to advance the project, including evaluating various strategies geared toward potentially resubmitting the environmental application.” See FIRST, A6

Sandra LaRose, who lost her daughter to a rail accident last year, addresses a crowd on Monday during the unveiling of new warning signs in Kamloops.
2,000 people killed or injured each year From A1
The new markings were installed through a partnership between the not-for-profit group, CPR, CN, Rocky Mountaineer and the City of Kamloops. Every year, more than 2,000 people in North America are killed or injured in railway crossing and trespassing incidents, according to Operation Lifesavers Canada, Al Sauve, chief of police for CP Rail, said more than 100 Canadians are either hurt of killed as a result of railway crossing or trespassing incidents. A rail crossing accident on Aug. 16, 2018, claimed the life of Sandra LaRose’s daughter, which spurred the Saskatchewan mother to speak out about train safety. “I figure I can’t have lost her for nothing,” LaRose told KTW. “If I can help and if it saves one person, I’ve done good and so has she — she’s with me.” Speaking at the event in Kamloops, LaRose said her daughter, Kailynn Bursic-Panchuk, was driving to meet her friend at a farm she was unfamiliar with in Weyburn, Sask., when she was struck by a train, which consisted of one engine and one hopper car, at an unmarked rail crossing. Bursic-Panchuk died days later in hospital, shortly after her 17th birthday. “Instead of grad dress shopping, I picked out an urn,” LaRose said. LaRose said she learned from
investigating officers that the cause of the crash was deemed distracted driving, noting she was told her daughter had Google Maps open and was getting Snapchat notifications at the time of the crash. As the car was a standard, LaRose believes the phone was on the passenger seat beside her daughter and that Kailynn was likely looking at her phone to make sure she was heading in the right direction. She also suspects her daughter was listening to loud music, as she often did, and couldn’t hear the train coming. Larose believes her daughter saw the train, but didn’t realize how fast it was travelling. “I do not place blame on Kailynn; however, in reality, the accident was her fault,” she said. LaRose said people may think they can multi-task, but they must realize they cannot multi-task and drive. LaRose’s advice is for all drivers to be cautious at all train crossings, assume all trains in your field of vision are moving and always stop and listen for trains at crossings. “The next time you reach for your phone, ask yourself how your family would feel if you weren’t around,” LaRose said. “The phone can wait.” Mayes said the main message of the campaign is that rail crossing accidents are preventable. Operation Lifesaver is dedicated to promoting rail safety funded by Transportation Canada and the Railway Association of Canada.

Surveillance cameras considered in bid to deter threats against schools SEVEN THREATS HAVE BEEN MADE AGAINST VARIOUS KAMLOOPS SCHOOLS SINCE SEPT. 10, WITH KAMLOOPS MOUNTIES ARRESTING TWO PEOPLE MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops-Thompson school district is looking at a number of options, including the installation of surveillance cameras outside schools, following a rash of unfounded threats that have disrupted numerous classes this month. Seven threats have been made against various Kamloops schools since Sept. 10, with police arresting two people — an 18-year-old man and a male youth. Four threats came in the form of words spray painted on the walls of schools, referring to a “bomb.” Two threats were made on the social media app Snapchat and one threat was made via phone. Kamloops-Thompson school board chair Kathleen Karpuk told KTW last week that she anticipated trustees would discuss school security at an in-camera session on Monday in Sun Peaks. “This takes an incredible amount of resources away from the education of our students. It has a huge impact on our stu-
dents ability to feel safe in their schools,” she said. Last week, assistant superintendent Rob Schoen also told media the possibility of adding surveillance cameras would be discussed by the district. SD73’s communications manager Diana Skoglund said she couldn’t disclose whether the issue was in fact discussed at the in-camera meeting on Monday, but she did confirm the school district is looking into how to address the issue. The latest threats occurred last Friday morning, when someone called in a bomb threat to Sa-Hali secondary. That afternoon, police arrested an 18-year-old man. Also on Friday morning, someone spray painted a threat at Dallas elementary, forcing students and staff to be barred from the school while the RCMP investigated. Kamloops Christian School was closed on Thursday, Sept. 19, on the recommendation of the RCMP, which arrested a male youth after receiving a tip from Interpol about a threat made against the school. The tip was based on a social media post

on Snapchat that showed a youth holding two pistols with a threatening caption, police said. On Wednesday, Sept. 18, students and staff were barred from Sa-Hali secondary while police investigated after the words “there is a bomb” was found spray painted on the side of the building. Police were on scene until about noon and classes didn’t resume until 1:40 p.m. Someone scrawled the words “find the bomb” on a wall at Valleyview secondary on Friday, Sept. 13, but students remained in class while police investigated. On the weekend of Sept. 15 and Sept. 16, more threatening graffiti was discovered, this time at Marion Schilling elementary in Valleyview. On Tuesday, Sept. 10, a Sa-Hali secondary student received a visit from Kamloops Mounties after she posted a message on the social media app Snapchat, threatening her school. The student was not charged. Anyone with information regarding these threats is asked to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Upon rejection, KGHM and Abacus had the option of petitioning the decision at the Supreme Court level, but the companies did not do that. Ajax split Kamloops residents, some of whom were passionately opposed and others who were adamantly in support of the project. Protests and letters to the editor from both sides dominated the news cycle in the city for months on end. Local First Nations were and remain opposed to the proposed mine, with the Stk’emlupsemc Te Secwépemc Nation, which represents the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn First Nations, citing the project’s impacts on Jacko Lake, which it con-
siders an important cultural heritage site. “We will remain steadfast in our goal of keeping this cultural treasure protected and accessible to all who wish to experience it,” Skeetchestn Chief Ron Ignace said following the decision by the provincial government to reject the application. He urged KGHM and Abacus to abandon Ajax for good. In September 2015, the SSN filed a title claim on land that includes Jacko Lake and other property where KGHM and Abacus hoped to build its open-pit mine. The issue also created debate on Kamloops council, which decided to spend $200,000 on a study of the 18,000-page application. In 2017, council voted to oppose Ajax, but did so with three of its nine seats

vacant. Arjun Singh, Denis Walsh, Donovan Cavers, Dieter Dudy and Tina Lange voted to oppose the mine. Pat Wallace voted against opposing Ajax. Despite the stance, the city had reached an agreement in principle with KHGM with respect to a community benefits agreement, in which Kamloops was to receive $3.8 million annually from the company if Ajax was approved. The money — which would have amounted to $87 million over the projected 23-year life of the mine — was meant to be used for items including an independent monitoring program, a local healthcare program, affordable housing offset, community and social services funding, to offset taxes for heavy industry anc cover road maintenance.

MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops woman is disappointed with a company’s lacklustre response to her discovery of a metal blade she found in a pack of fruit snacks intended for her three-year-old son. Angela Veltri said she bought a bulk box of Welch’s Fruit Snacks from a Kamloops grocery store earlier this month and noticed one of them appeared to have been a double package that hadn’t been separated. She didn’t think much of it until last week, when she was opening the pack for her son as she does with every package. She told KTW she felt something hard inside the plastic package and when she opened it pulled out a four-inch metal blade. The top of the blade was rounded and thinner than the bottom, which was sharp — appearing to have been broken off of some sort of sorting machine at the factory, Veltri suspected. “Obviously [I] was just absolutely astonished,” Veltri said. “You don’t expect to find that in your kid’s fruit snacks, it was crazy.”
Veltri said she called the company immediately and was asked to send in some photos of the blade, which she did. A company representative called her back saying they would send her a box to send back the blade and remaining product in along with some free coupons, Veltri said. Veltri said she felt the letter and the coupons she received with the box didn’t fit the severity of the foreign object she found in the package. “I think I was just looking for more of an apology,” she said, noting the letter read as though they were deflecting responsibility. The letter from Welch’s reads: “We’re sorry to learn of your recent experience with Welch’s Fruit Snacks. This product is distributed for us by our licensees, Promotion
in Motion, so we are notifying their quality assurance department of the problem.” “The information you provided will be passed on to them. We appreciate your bringing this to our attention.” She said the four coupons she received were two for 50 cents off with purchase of further fruit snacks and two for a free product valued at $5.99. From this experience, Veltri said she wants parents to be careful of objects that can get into factory sealed products. Veltri said she will be sending the blade back to Welches as requested with the hope that they get to the bottom of how the blade managed to get into their product and ensure it doesn’t happen again, noting the situation could have been worse if someone else purchased the product.
The Bylaw may be inspected at the Legislative Services Division, City Hall, 7 Victoria Street West, Kamloops, BC, during regular office hours from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, or inquiries may be directed to 250 828-3446. All persons who wish to register an opinion on the proposed closure may do so by: • Appearing before City Council on October 1, 2019, 1:30 pm, in Council Chambers, City Hall, 7 Victoria Street West • Written submission - please note that written submissions must be received by the Legislative Services Division no later than September 30, 2019, 4:00 pm Written submissions may be hand delivered or sent by regular mail to Legislative Services, 7 Victoria Street West, Kamloops, BC, V2C 1A2; faxed to 250-828-3578; or emailed legistate@kamloops.ca

LET’S KEEP THE BAND TOGETHER
E
very so often — at least with every federal election — the concept of Western separation comes up. Considering the concentration of national political power in Ontario and Quebec, the idea of creating an Independent Republic of Western Canada is an attractive idea. But what would it really look like if B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Yukon and Northwest Territories pulled out of Confederation? To start with, our new independent republic wouldn’t be suffering from a lack of resources and food. Saskatchewan has plenty of arable land already producing grains and other crops. Alberta is the same, but also has beef and oil to contribute (So does Saskatchewan, but canola oil doesn’t keep your car on the road). B.C. has all of that, in smaller amounts, but we’ve also got forests and lots of minerals, as do the Territories. The Territories also give us someplace to flee to when climate change makes living farther south to uncomfortable. All in all, that sounds pretty good, except for the lack of major manufacturing, which tends to be centred in the big eastern provinces. We’d also be cut off from the Maritimes — and it would be a shame to lose that rich culture, not to mention the lobster. In short, Canada works better as a whole, with all parts contributing to the Confederation than it does as a loosely-associated group of independent states. Working together, which Canadians usually like to do, also gives us a larger voice on the world stage — when our quiet, reasonable voice can be heard above our southern neighbour’s more strident shouting, that is. The new smaller countries that were once called Canada would also be more vulnerable to being swallowed up by a resource-hungry U.S. Don’t laugh, in the past, there has even been a proposal down south that they offer each Canadian cash for their share in Canada, simply buying us out. — Black Press

Fact-free climate strike
I
f the current federal election has shown us anything, it is that we are in a post-literate, post-fact environment in which images and their propaganda power guide public opinion. The prime minister’s breaches of his own laws while in office are forgotten because his drama student-turned-teacher antics have produced more memorable images. If B.C. and Canada are talking about government policy at all this week, it is based on another jumble of images, those used to symbolize and define climate change. Up to now, B.C. school administrations have tolerated the Friday afternoon “climate strikes” that have become a fashionable way to skip school. Now the administration is all in. “There’s a lot of learning going on,” the Victoria school board chair enthused on a local radio station last Friday morning as students and serial protesters prepared for a “die-in” and blockade of downtown traffic. Protests are expected to continue this week, featuring children yelling into bullhorns and waving signs demanding that all fossil fuel use cease by the currently selected deadline of 11 years. In Revelstoke, even the school superintendent joined the fun, quoted in a press release that urged kids to get their photos taken with a life-size cutout of Swedish high-school student Greta Thunberg. The superintendent and his
TOM FLETCHER Our Man In
VICTORIA protest partners promised displays of the science for kids to view between chants demanding physically impossible action. And what inspired Thunberg to serve as the global leader of climate strikes? She saw pictures of a dying polar bear. Regular readers may recall my discussion of those pictures, eventually taken down by National Geographic, with apologies for misrepresenting how apex predators die in the wild. Here are a few facts that were likely not offered to striking students at taxpayer-supported events. B.C. released its latest greenhouse gas emission figures this month, from 2017. There was a flurry of headlines about how they’re still going up, 10 years into our nation-leading carbon tax experiment. B.C. is fully hydropowered, leads Canada in electric car adoption and still carbon dioxide rises with population, construction and transportation needs. Not counted or mentioned in
the fleeting news coverage was by far the largest source of 2017 carbon dioxide emissions. Wildfires generated almost three times the emissions as all recorded human activity. It will be a year before we see 2018 numbers, but they will be similar due to that wildfire season. What kids are told in school and elsewhere is that those fires were caused by warming. False. Severe fire seasons are the inevitable result of 60 years of wildfire suppression to preserve timber. There is science to show it and it’s not from computer models that have never been accurate once in 20 years. I invite anyone in the education system to show that this or anything outside the “crisis” political narrative is taught in our public schools. Other things climate strikers should hear: Canada is one of the world’s leading absorbers of CO2, due to its vast forests. Globally, forest area is growing, due largely to agricultural technology. Arctic sea ice is melting faster than models predicted, but Antarctic ice is increasing, contrary to forecasts. Drought-affected area is decreasing globally, according to a 2014 study in the journal Nature. Sea levels are rising, as they have for thousands of years, but the rate isn’t accelerating. “I want you to panic,” Thunberg famously instructed adults around the world. School administrators and politicians should say if they endorse this. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ICBC IS PUNISHING NEW DRIVERS, THEIR FAMILIES
Kamloops resident Margaret Archibald joined thousands of people in Dresden, Germany, last week as they took part in a worldwide march for action on climate change. In Kamloops, students took to the streets to echo their call for politicians to act on climate change. This Friday, some students at TRU will be staging a climate strike on campus, beginning at 12:30 p.m. at the Campus Activity Centre. The protest is being organized by the TRU Students’ Union Eco Club. MARGARET ARCHIBALD PHOTO
TURN PROTESTS INTO VOTES
Editor: Take heart, Fridays For Future, the world is with you. I had the pleasure of marching with 15,000 people in Dresden Germany, last Friday. In Berlin, there were 240,000 people marching. The energy was amazing. One sign read: Make Climate Greta Again. Grandparents, mothers with infants, businessmen walked with them. As we marched, people asked me, “Do they know about this in Canada?” I assured them we know. We know David Suzuki said that the election after this one will be too late. According to a CBC poll this past summer, nearly two-thirds of Canadians consider fighting climate change is a top priority in the coming federal election. So, thank you, Kamloops students, for spearheading this important event in our city last week. Now, let’s translate it into the youth vote and close the gap between demonstrating and electing politicians who will take effective climate action.
Editor: We just renewed our car insurance under ICBC’s new “fairness insurance” plan. The annual bill is $2,500, simply because we have a new teen listed on the vehicle. That’s an increase of $1,000 from the previous year. My wife and I have each been driving for 30 years, have never had a claim and are at the maximum discount.
In Denmark, they did that in June. Now its parliament has committed the country to 70 per cent reduction of CO2 emissions within get 10 years. The Danish politicians admit they don’t know how they will do it yet, but they have created a Green ministry to vet every piece of legislation and policy considered. In the meantime, Denmark is already making money selling windmills to the world. Note to people concerned about jobs — the switch translates into lucrative employment. That is what it looks like — creating the future that Greta Thunberg and the students are demanding. I hear she is coming to march with Canadian students in Montreal this Friday. What an honour. The technology exists. It is now up to politicians to implement this change. It is up to us to get those politicians into power. Let’s do this. Margaret Archibald Kamloops (visiting Germany)
But we are being financially punished because we have kids. That’s more than $5,000 a year in insurance to put our ‘N’ on both vehicles. Not every family will be able to afford this new insurance plan. Perhaps ICBC should make more of an effort going after fraudulent claims — or maybe it’s time to get rid of some overpaid upper management.

Editor: Why are schools continuing to install Wi-Fi instead of hard-wiring Internet devices? Using wires results in faster and more secure connections and, most importantly, is safer for students and teachers. Westsyde elementary could have done this with the recent renovations. If the temporary location for Parkrest elementary students does not have Wi-Fi, I suggest teachers take note as to whether students are
more attentive and less disruptive than usual. Here is a quote from a 2014 Globe and Mail article about Wi-Fi in schools: “And for 10 years, Swisscom has been installing wired internet connections in Swiss schools for free. Why not wireless? As company spokesman Carsten Roetz wrote in an e-mail: ‘Because there’s no reason to put a radiation source that isn’t absolutely necessary in schools.’” Kristin Saunders Kamloops

To those of you who think the system is fair, just wait until you have kids starting to drive. I understand new drivers cause more accidents, but how can they get experience when we can’t afford to put them on the road? ICBC is not just punishing bad drivers, it is punishing new drivers and their families.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
OF PRIVILEGE AND RACISM Editor: Re: Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s racist symbolism and privilege: In the late 1980s, my family lived in a suburb of Chicago. On several occasions, someone had driven on a number our neighbours’ front yards, spinning tires and leaving a large dark arc in the lawns. After several such incidents, a neighbour witnessed this happening, was able to get the licence plate of the offending driver and called the police. What happened next was extraordinary. Instead of the police attending to get a full report, the father of the perpetrator drove up and wanted to settle the matter privately. Cash was offered in lieu of a criminal prosecution of this
man’s son. He didn’t want his son to have a criminal record and suffer economic and social detriment in the future. Apparently, this young man, or his family, had connections in the city’s police department. No police file was generated. It became a civil dispute resolution rather than a criminal prosecution. Had the young man been from a neighbouring community (which was predominantly black) I am confident my city’s (99.9 per cent white) police response would have been quite different. (During my five years residing in that community, a cross was planted and set ablaze on the front lawn of a home whose owners had rented the basement suite to a couple of mixed race.)
The application to the SNCLavalin story is obvious to me. Trudeau’s overt pressure on the attorney general’s office to divert criminal proceedings was done to avoid dire future consequences for a well-connected Liberal party supporter. With respect to blackface and privilege, I find myself thinking about the following issues as well: 1) Ignorance, if not disrespect, of the rule of law; 2) Ignorance, if not disrespect, regarding racist symbolism; 3) Acknowledging privilege in the past while exercising privilege today by expecting our culturally diverse communities to forgive and forget. Bruce Swanson Kamloops
TRUDEAU DID NOTHING WRONG BY DRESSING IN ALADDIN COSTUME Editor: I am sickened by the industrywide attacks on Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s youthful indulgence in costume attire. Ironically, the publicly funded CBC leads this shameful parade. As a so-called national leader, CBC should know better and see more deeply. Instead, it joined the pack of mad dogs led by Conservative Leader Andrew Sheer. What person — whether as a child or as an adult —has not donned the attire of a culture, a sub-culture, a nation or any other identifiable group (national or cultural) for some purpose? To do so is part of the very fabric of multiculturalism. It negates isolation and reinforces diversity. I am certain the practice is virtually universal and openly celebrated at countless festive occasions worldwide. And it should be, without
brewloops festival Sept. 27 & 28, 2019 Mcarthur Island
shame, insult or condemnation. Most cultures celebrate their uniqueness; Canada’s uniqueness is diversity. As a child, I wore black face; as a teen, I wore feathers; as an adult, I wore (and still wear) a kilt; as a member of The City of Kamloops Rube Band, I wore costumes as a Scot, a beggar/streetbum, a Freddy-the Freeloader, a hippie and a tropical explorer. That band, internationally travelled and renowned, was — and remains — the epitome of costume tributes. As a high school teacher and administrator, I organized and participated in dress-up days, encouraging the diverse, and often comic, adoption of costume. On one occasion, my wife and I wore clothing from India, loaned to us with care and guidance by an Indian couple who had become Canadian. None of these were deemed
insulting. On the contrary, they were intended, and seen, as tributes to members of a diverse nation of diverse cultures. What kid or adult has not donned a 10-gallon Stetson, a locomotive engineers’ cap, a fireman’s cap, a feathered headdress? Why not a turban? None of these, nor Trudeau’s attire, were intended as an insult — and nor should they be. This leaves me to believe the real target of the press is not Trudeau’s style, but Trudeau himself. And, if you don’t like style, remember, style is the aesthetic of action. The press’s reactionary condemnation of Trudeau’s imagination and sensitivity is itself guilty of the stereotypical hysteria of xenophobia. It has no place in our nation or in our press.

People’s Party candidate says he regrets climate change/Nazi post #elxn43 – Oct. 21
MICHAEL POTESTIO
The Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo candidate for the People’s Party of Canada who shared a social media post comparing climate change activism to Nazi propaganda told KTW he regrets his actions following backlash after recent media coverage. Ken Finlayson posted the content on the People’s Party of Canada Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding association’s Facebook page earlier this month. He shared an image of teenaged climate change activist Greta Thunberg alongside Nazi imagery with children dating back to 1940s Germany, along with the caption: “Useing children for propoganda! How low can you go?” The photo collage shows Nazi Party leader Heinrich Himmler — an architect of the Holocaust — holding a blond, pig-tailed girl, and a poster from the Hitler Youth next to an image of Thunberg. Finlayson, who, like the People’s Party, does not believe climate change is human-
caused, said he posted the image because he believes Thunberg is being exploited by those who believe in man-made climate change to advance a political agenda. “She’s kind of the face of the alarmists that say the world is ending because of man-made carbon dioxide,” Finlayson said. Thunberg, who is 16, has been making international headlines, having recently sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in a zero-carbon emission boat to address the UN at a climate conference in New York City. Asked why he chose to use this particular meme to state his opinion on climate change, Finlayson said he wasn’t trying to make a moral equivalency between people who believe in climate change and Nazis. “Maybe I was short-sighted in not realizing that some people might take it that way,” he said. “There is no moral equivalency with the Nazis. It’s despicable and, if I did suggest that, it certainly wasn’t my intention, but some people obviously took

it that way.” Finlayson said he was not trying to attack Thunberg, but was suggesting she needed to be protected from exploitation, given her age and the fact she has Asperger’s syndrome. “What I was criticizing was the manipulation of someone I perceive to be a vulnerable child,” he said. “I don’t regret trying to defend a child, even if she didn’t need defending. If I thought she did, then I don’t apologize for defending someone I perceive to be vulnerable.”

s a Kamloops resident, you might occasionally wonder what the city will look like in the future. You may even have an interest in helping to shape what the community could become in the next 30 years. If so, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce has an upcoming event that might be of particular interest to you. Kamloops Tomorrow will look ahead to the future of the city with discussion around what Kamloops could Sadie Hunter, Kamloops councillor — and maybe even should — look like in the year 2050. “Over the summer we’ve just been doing a lot of meeting with business owners,” said Acacia Pangilinan, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce. “We felt there was an appetite to talk about where the community wants to go, and what opportunities are available for partnership.” Kamloops Tomorrow is a community building platform to learn, converse, and inspire the Kamloops business community, emerging and distinguished, to discuss how we’ll begin to build the city of tomorrow, today. Pangilinan said that there are three key components in this look ahead: How do we want to shape our growing community? How will we create and sustain a vibrant quality of life? What kind of collaboration is available for the business community? The event will be hosted by councillor Sadie Hunter and will feature speakers Lucille Gnanasihamany, associate vice president for marketing and communications at Thompson Rivers University, George Casimir, General Manager, CFDC of CIFN, and Lincoln Smith, executive director at Kamloops Innovation. The event will be held at the Valley First Lounge in the Sandman Centre on Oct. 3 and is free to the public, though it does require registration at kamloopschamber.ca. Speakers will make their presentations from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and it will be followed by an innovative business showcase and network reception until 7:30 p.m. For those unable to attend, it will be streamed live on Facebook. “It is really a whole community discussion,” said Pangilinan. “It’s not meant to be solely geared towards the business community. “We really want to stimulate conversation in the community about how we can all work together to create the Kamloops of tomorrow.” We’ll all be living in the Kamloops of tomorrow, so we should all be working to make it the kind of city we want to be living in. Be sure to come to this exciting event to start building for the future. Reserve your tickets free of charge at http://bit.ly/2kyAc2a thanks to free admission sponsor TRU.

PPC’s Finlayson says politics should be about principles, not only winning MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
K
en Finlayson didn’t get into politics to win. “Politics should be about more than just winning — it should be about principles,” Finlayson said. While the candidate in Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo for the fledging People’s Party of Canada admires aspects of many political parties, there are few issues he doesn’t see eye-to-eye on with PPC leader Maxime Bernier. Having joined the PPC’s local riding association, Finlayson said he stepped up to be the acclaimed flag-bearer, given his past political experience. He said Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo voters should vote for him on Oct. 21 because “it’s not going to be business as usual — same old politics, same old good old boys in the back room calling the shots.”
He said a PPC government would allow its MPs to speak openly on issues. If elected, Finlayson said his top issue will be addressing the struggling lumber industry, but he also wants to focus on Indigenous issues, describing the Indian Act as “legislative segregation.” Though he thinks it’s too optimistic to believe Bernier will win a majority government, Finlayson said it’s not out of the question to think he could hold the balance of power as B.C.’s Green Party does, with its three elected MLAs supporting an NDP government. “Scheer and Trudeau, according to the polls, are neck and neck,” Finlayson said. Finlayson described his interest in politics as “a chronic affliction,” noting his aunt inspired him by saying, “if you’re not willing to get involved in politics, you’re doomed to be governed by them that are.” Born and raised into a farming and ranching family near North Battleford, Sask. Finlayson has
been living in B.C. for about 18 months, running a small ranch in Lac la Hache. He has also worked as a tourist guide and truck driver. Finlayson is no stranger to a federal campaign, having run as an independent candidate in Battlefords-Lloydminster in a 2017 byelection, after being rejected by the Conservative party’s nomination committee. After his defeat, Finlayson said he gravitated toward the Western Canada Independence Party, noting Canada’s elections are often settled with enough seats won in the east. While he doesn’t like the fact Bernier is a Quebec politician, Finlayson said Bernier is the only leader committed to addressing inequalities faced by Western provinces, citing issues such as equalization payments. At the age of 73, Finlayson said he’s not in politics for the pension. If Bernier doesn’t get into a position of power, Finlayson intends to advocate for Western separation.

Election forums are New candidate for NDP forming in Kamloops #elxn43 – Oct. 21, 2019
Federal Election 2019
KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Kamloops family justice counsellor Cynthia Egli has been named as the NDP’s federal election candidate in Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo. In a press release from the riding association, Egli said she is running to put people first and is fighting for head-to-toe healthcare, affordable housing and climate action. “I’m passionate about my community and am committed to making life better for everyday families, instead of wealthy corporations,” Egli said. “I was raised on the values of putting people first, and that means fighting for workers, families, seniors, students, and those who have been left behind by Liberal and Conservative governments.”
CYNTHIA EGLI
Egli works as a counsellor and mediator with the provincial Ministry of the Attorney General, is a member of the BCGEU provincial executive and is part owner of a small business. Egli and her husband raised their two daughters in the B.C. Interior. She holds a master’s degree in leadership from Royal Roads University. Egli is the third candidate in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo announced by the NDP
during the campaign. Original candidate Gina Myhill-Jones of 100 Mile House was acclaimed in the spring, but quit in early August due to a death in her family. Thompson Rivers University law student Dock Currie was named candidate on Sept. 4 and asked by the federal party to step down on Sept. 11 due to comments he made online to two energy reporters during a debate on pipelines. Egli is the seventh in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding. Also running are Kira Cheeseborough (Animal Protection Party), Iain Currie (Green) Ken Finlayson (People’s Party), Peter Kerek (Communist), Terry Lake (Liberal) and Cathy McLeod (Conservative).

City bylaws reports increase in spring stats PANHANDLING, NUISANCE COMPLAINTS AND GRAFFITI ON PRIVATE PROPERTY ON THE RISE MICHAEI POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The City of Kamloops’ bylaws department reported upticks in panhandling, nuisance property complaints and graffiti on private property this past spring compared to last year. Those are just a handful of statistics included in the department’s second quarter report for 2019. Bylaws had 58 calls regarding panhandling in the second quarter — April, May and June — this year, up from 32 calls during the same time last year. Panhandling has been on the rise year over year, from 18 calls each during the springs of 2015 and 2016 to 32 in 2017 and 58 this past spring. There were 124 calls for service at nuisance properties, up from 115 in 2018, and 15 calls regarding graffiti on private property, up from eight last year. Calls about graffiti in public are at a fiveyear low, with nine this past spring, down from 10 last spring and 20 in the spring of 2015. There were 131 reports of garbage on public spaces this past spring, up from 115 in 2018. Calls to bylaws for people with alcohol are also at a five-year low for the second quarter. There were 37 in April, May and June of 2015 and just nine
calls this past spring. Transient issues, which were are broken down in to specifics in the report, decreased by 25 calls this quarter, to 283 calls. The number of transient issues in Kamloops, however, has been on the rise for the previous four years, with bylaws services reporting just 88 in the second quarter of 2015, 158 in second quarter of 2016, 261 in the second quarter of 2017 and 308 in the second quarter of 2018. The report also states the bylaw department is continuing to experience an increase in requests to deal with social issues, advising the need to shift its focus from reaction to action to address the issues. “The focus needs to continue to emphasize building relationships by bringing together community and neighbourhood leaders to identify and evaluate problems within the community and working together to solve them,” the report states. Transient shelters along river shores is an issue occupying much of bylaws officers’ time, according to acting bylaw services manager Tammy Blundell. “It’s increasing. We’re moving certain individuals, the same individual multiple places times,” she said, adding that is a cost to the city. She expects to see

increases in thirdquarter stats, given a busy summer. Parking statistics will be added to the
third quarter report to give the committee a better idea of that issue, she said. During the sec-
ond quarter of 2019, bylaws officers also dealt with numerous nuisance behaviours at the North Shore
and downtown transit exchanges. There were 55 incidents of smoking, eight incidents of
people with alcohol, three incidents linked to loitering and two incidents connected to skateboarding.

Backlash as NDP’s forestry funding details emerge MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Last week, the provincial government announced a $69-million fund to help forestry workers impacted by mill closures and curtailments. What the B.C. NDP did not disclose at the time was that the money was made possible by the government scrapping this year’s $25-million rural dividend fund. The fund was set up by the B.C. Liberal government to provide economic diversification to communities of 25,000 population or smaller, many of them dependent on a single industry. That changed on Sept. 17 when Forests Minister Doug Donaldson announced ministry funds have been reallocated for this year. The B.C. government’s decision has prompted a backlash. Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb said his community was counting on funds to help upgrade its water system. “We’re on boil water right now from Interior Health because of manganese in our water,” Cobb said. “We can’t wait two years. Kamloops B.C. Liberal MLAs Todd Stone and Peter Milobar said it is “deceitful” and “misleading” for the NDP to have neglected mentioning the cancellation of this year’s rural dividend fund when announcing the forestry aid package. The government later informed applicants via letter. “It’s incredibly disrespectful to rural B.C.,” Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Milobar said. “Everyone I’ve been talking to at UBCM is livid about this.” Milobar said the fund is designed to support communities at a time when most of them are reeling from issues in the forestry industry. “This is devastating news for communities across the province — particularly for small, rural communities
in the Interior and the north,” said Stone, MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson. He said communities need money from both funds, noting he heard from Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell at this week’s Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver that the municipality 90 minutes north of Kamloops was set to receive $220,000 from the rural dividend fund for a number of projects. “That’s all been cancelled and, in exchange for losing that $220,000, they’re going to get $100,000 directed towards support for forest workers in their community,” Stone said. “The forest workers obviously need that support, but the community also needs the rural dividend support.” Stone said the B.C. Liberals have been calling for more support for forestry workers, along with aid for transitioning economic development in communities. “Not only has the government waited until the last minute to do something, but now we learn they’re essentially robbing Peter to pay Paul here,” Stone said. Both MLAs said the government should have used surplus dollars to fund the forestry aid. “There’s a simple way to rectify it,” Stone said. “Come to the table with new dollars to support communities and displaced workers.” B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson hosted rural community representatives at the UBCM convention on Tuesday, where they took turns blasting the decision. Wilkinson said the current year’s rural fund has 338 applications, totalling $35 million in needed assistance. The province has $300 million that was left on the table after a calm forest fire season. Wilkinson said that money should be available to help with rural needs, regardless of whether they are related to mill closures.

Injunction granted against turn-off-the-taps law COLETTE DERWORIZ
CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — A Federal Court judge has granted the British Columbia government a temporary injunction against an Alberta law that could have limited oil exports to other provinces. In a decision released Tuesday, Justice Sebastien Grammond said
Alberta’s so-called turn-off-the-taps legislation raises a serious issue and could cause irreparable harm to the residents of B.C. “British Columbia has met the criteria usually applied by the courts for the issuance of such an injunction,” he wrote in his decision. “It has shown that the validity of the act raises a serious issue.
It has demonstrated that an embargo of the nature evoked by the members of Alberta’s legislature when debating the act would cause irreparable harm to the residents of British Columbia.” The B.C. government initially brought the action before Alberta’s Court of Queen’s Bench, which passed it to the Federal Court.
Alberta tried to strike the action by arguing that it wasn’t in the jurisdiction of the Federal Court, but the judge dismissed that motion. Grammond said B.C. has met the test for blocking the law until the courts can decide its validity. B.C. Attorney General David Eby said he’s pleased the injunction was granted
and the case will be going to trial. “We think it’s quite a straight forward case, but the ultimate decision will of course be up to the court,” he told reporters in Vancouver. “On our reading of the Constitution, Alberta is not allowed to restrict the flow of refined product to other provinces in a way to punish them for

political positions that are taken they don’t like,” said Eby. “That’s our understanding of the Constitution. Alberta has a different understanding and the court will be deciding about that.” The turn-off-thetaps legislation gives Alberta the power to crimp energy exports from the province. It was passed, but never used, by Alberta’s former NDP government as a way to put pressure on B.C. to drop its fight against the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion to the West Coast. The new United Conservative government proclaimed it into force shortly after Premier Jason Kenney was sworn into office in April, but he had said it wouldn’t be used unless B.C. throws up further roadblocks to the pipeline. B.C. had called the law a loaded gun and had asked the courts to make sure it didn’t accidentally go off. NDP Leader Rachel Notley said that the injunction has rendered the law useless. “We told the premier not to proclaim this legislation because it would be like blowing up the missile while it’s still on the launchpad,” she said in a news release. “And that’s exactly what has happened today. This injunction has rendered the legislation powerless. Any further threats from the premier to turn off the taps are empty.” Kenney was expected to speak about the decision later Tuesday. Grammond said in his decision that members on both sides of
the Alberta legislature explained the law’s purpose in relation to the British Columbia government’s actions on the Trans Mountain expansion project. “These statements make it abundantly clear that the purpose of the act is to inflict economic harm to British Columbia through an embargo on the exportation of petroleum products to that province,” he said. The embargo, he said, would not only cause a considerable increase in the price of gas and diesel in the province, but any fuel shortages could also endanger public safety. The Trans Mountain expansion, first approved in 2016, would triple the amount of oil flowing from the oilsands to B.C.’s Lower Mainland and from there to lucrative new markets across the Pacific. The federal government bought the existing pipeline last year for $4.5 billion after its original builder, Texasbased Kinder Morgan, threatened to walk away from the project because of B.C.’s resistance. The Federal Court of Appeal quashed the approval months later on the grounds that there hadn’t been enough consultation with First Nations or consideration of the pipeline’s potential impact on marine wildlife. The project was approved for a second time by the federal cabinet this summer. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 24, 2019. — with files from Dirk Meissner

Property owner who shot, wounded suspected thief facing lawsuit BILL GRAVELAND
CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — A southern Alberta man who shot at suspected thieves on his rural property is being sued by one of the people. A statement of claim says Ryan Watson entered Edouard Maurice’s property near Okotoks, south of Calgary, on Feb. 25, 2018. It says that when he and an accomplice were discovered, Maurice fired a warning shot that struck Watson’s arm. “Without warning, the defendant attempted to scare the said plaintiff by shooting a .22 calibre rifle in his direction, but negli-
gently hit the plaintiff in the right forearm, causing severe damages and disability,” reads the statement. It says Watson required surgery, which included putting a metal plate in his arm, and that he has pain and discomfort in his shoulders, head, neck and back. He also suffers from severe fatigue, insomnia, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder, the document says. The suit alleges Maurice was negligent for firing a gun without consideration for others in the area and for failing to exhaust reasonable and less violent options, including calling police or shouting a warning. Watson is seeking dam-
ages for pain and suffering and for loss of income. Maurice and Watson’s lawyer did not return requests seeking comment. The lawsuit has not been proven in court and no statement of defence has been filed. RCMP charged Maurice with aggravated assault and weapons offences after the shooting, prompting hundreds of supporters to protest outside court. The Crown stayed the charges against him a few months later, citing a low probability of getting a conviction. Watson was also charged in the case and pleaded guilty in February to mischief and breaching proba-
tion. He was sentenced to 45 days jail but was released due to time he had spent in custody before trial. Rural crime on the Prairies has been in the spotlight since Saskatchewan farmer Gerald Stanley shot and killed Colten Boushie, a 22-year-old Indigenous man, in 2016. A jury acquitted Stanley of second-degree murder after he testified his gun went off accidentally when he was trying to scare off some young people who drove onto his property. Alberta’s Justice Minister Doug Schweitzer is in the middle of a tour of the province talking to Albertans about rural crime.

OTTAWA — Racist letters about Indigenous Peoples have finally been removed from Sen. Lynn Beyak’s website — but only because Senate officials erased them after Beyak refused to do so herself. She is still thumbing her nose at Senate orders to apologize for posting the letters and to take educational programs on racism directed at Indigenous people. In early May, senators voted to suspend Beyak without pay for the remainder of the parliamentary session, which ended with the call of the federal election on Sept. 11. At that time, the Senate also ordered Beyak to remove the letters, apologize and take cultural sensitivity training within 30 days — none of which she did.

Arrest not routine: Wanzhou lawyer CANADIAN PRESS
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
ROSES QUENCHED
Flowers in the Riverside Park rose garden may need a squeegee after being soaked by recent rains. The fine-smelling flowers will again get a shower on Wednesday, as Environment Canada is calling for rain and a high of 18 C. Thursday should bring sunshine and a high of 15 C, followed by showers and a high of 12 C on Friday and sun and clouds this weekend, with the mercury climbing to 15 C.
VANCOUVER — A lawyer for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou say there was nothing “routine” about the way she was questioned by border officials before she was read her rights and informed of her arrest at Vancouver’s airport last December. Meng’s defence team is back court today, asking the B.C. Supreme Court to compel the release of further documentation to support its arguments ahead of her extradition trial in January. They allege that Meng was the subject of an abuse of process and want Justice Heather Holmes to order further disclosure from the Crown. In court documents, the Attorney General of Canada says the federal border services agency and the RCMP followed protocol in their treat-
ment of Meng. Defence lawyer Richard Peck pointed to a solemn declaration sworn by a border official that says Meng repeatedly asked why she was taken for secondary screening and that he questioned her about her business activity in Iran. Peck also presented video showing that neither the border official nor another agent who was standing by took notes of the conversation, even though the second official had “meticulously” taken notes during other portions of Meng’s detention in the screening area. Based on documents filed with the court, part of the defence team’s argument will be that the official intentionally failed to properly document their process. “There is nothing routine about this,” Peck told the court.
AI and climate change are converging crises Can we cope with job losses and dwindling climate conditions at the same time?
M
aybe we can get through the climate crisis without a global catastrophe, although that door is closing fast. And maybe we can cope with the huge loss of jobs caused by the revolution in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) without a social and political calamity. But can we do both at the same time? We should know how to deal with the AI revolution because we have been down this road before. It’s a bit different this time, of course, in the sense that the original industrial revolution from 1780 to 1850 created as many new jobs (in manufacturing) as it destroyed (in cottage industries and skilled trades). The AI revolution, by contrast, is not producing nearly enough replacement jobs, but it is making us much wealthier. The value of manufactured goods doubled in the United States in the past 30 years, even as the number of good industrial jobs fell by one-third (eight-
GWYNNE DYER World
WATCH million jobs gone). Maybe we could use that extra wealth to ease the transition to a job-scarce future. The climate emergency is unlike any challenge we have faced before. Surmounting it would require an unprecedented level of global co-operation and massive changes in how people consume and behave, neither at which human beings have historically been good. These two crises are already interacting. The erosion of middle-class jobs and the stagnation (or worse) of real wage levels generates resentment and anger among the victims that
is already creating populist, authoritarian regimes throughout the world. These regimes despise international co-operation and often deny climate change as well. And there is a recession coming. Maybe not this year, although almost all the storm signals are flying: stock markets spooked, a rush into gold, nine major economies already in recession or on the verge of one, an inverted yield curve on bond and trade wars spreading. A recession is overdue and a lot of the damage done by the Great Recession of 2008 has still not been repaired. Interest rates are still very low, so the banks have little room to cut rates and soften the next one. When it arrives, it could be a doozy. So, what can we do about all this? The first thing is to recognize we cannot plot a course that takes us from here and now through all the changes and past all the unpleasant surprises to ultimate safety, maybe 50 years from now. We can plan how to get through the next five years and we should be thinking hard about what will be needed later on. But we can’t steer a safe and
steady course to the year 2070 any more than intelligent decision-makers in 1790 could have planned how to get through to 1850 without too much upheaval. They might have seen steam engines, but they would have had no idea what a railroad was. We are in the same position as those people with regard to both AI and the global environmental emergency (which extends far beyond climate change, although that is at its heart). We know a good deal about both issues, but not enough to be confident about our choices — and, besides, they may well mutate and head off in unforeseen directions as the crises deepen. But there are two big things we can do right now. We need to stop the slide into populist and increasingly authoritarian governments (because we are not going to stop the spread of AI). And we have to win ourselves more time to get our greenhouse gas emissions under control (because we are certainly going to go through 450 parts per million of carbon dioxide equivalent, which would give us plus-2 C higher average global temperature).
The best bet for getting our politics back on track is a guaranteed minimum income high enough to keep everybody comfortable, whether or not they are working. That is well within the reach of any developed country’s economy and has the added benefit of putting enough money into people’s pockets to save everybody’s business model. The best way to win more time on the climate front is to start geo-engineering (direct intervention in the atmosphere to hold the global temperature down) as soon as we get anywhere near plus-2 C. To be ready then, we need to be doing open-air testing on a small scale now. There will be howls of protest from the right about a guaranteed minimum income and from the greener parts of the left about geo-engineering. However, both will probably be indispensable if we want to get through these huge changes without mass casualties or even civilizational collapse.

Provincial Winter Fair features all things 4-H The 81st Provincial Winter Fair will take place this weekend at the Circle Creek Ranch and Equestrian Centre, at 2175 Running Horse Ranch Rd. just off Highway 5A before Knutsford. Fair chair David Arduini said the event — which will run from Friday through Monday — will feature 4-H members, musicians, students and vendors. Friday through Sunday has events geared toward the public, while Monday’s focus is on live auctions or those in the industry. “Everything’s coming together,” Arduini said. “This weekend, we will welcome 4-H exhibitors from across the region and showcase local agriculture while providing a unique country fair experience to Kamloops fairgoers.” The weekend is the culmination of the year’s work for 4-H members with beef, sheep, horse, photography, rabbit and goat projects. They will be joined by open exhibitors also showing off their animal husbandry and ranch livestock. These 4-H members have raised their projects, feeding them, learning to care for them and preparing to compete with them, since the beginning of the year,” Arduini said. “Now they get to show them off while getting together with their 4-H friends from around the province.”
The grand champion lamb will be awarded on Saturday afternoon and the steer champions will be revealed on Sunday afternoon. Showmanship classes will run on Saturday and Sunday mornings, while the horse show and gymkhana will take place on Sunday. In addition to the 4-H activities, fairgoers can participate in the Kids Zone, with appearances from Wishing Well Princesses and Uncle Chris the Clown, while being entertained by Richard’s Racers Pig and Duck Races throughout the weekend. Jump’n’Jax inflatable toys will keep the kids busy, while the parents can enjoy local music on the mainstage, featuring Tennessee Walker Band, Marshall Potts Band, Ashley Pater, Hugh McLennan, Yale County Jug Band and Ruby Bruce. Also returning is the popular Grapes and Grill event from last year, with wines paired with chef-prepared hors d’oevres made with 4-H beef and lamb. Tickets to that 19-plus-age event are $30 and include admission to the fair. Daily admission to the fair on Friday, Saturday and Sunday is $8 for adults and $5 for students (ages six to 18) and seniors (ages 65 and older). Kids ages five and younger are admitted free of charge. More information about the Provincial Winter Fair can be found online at provincialwinterfair.com.

SERVING THE FOOD BANK
Christine Stilborn and daughter Sadie were part of the military presence the Rotary Fall Food Drive, which took place on the weekend. The semi-annual event led to about 30,000 pounds of food being donated to the Kamloops Food Bank, though organizers had pegged 50,000 pounds as the goal. This latest food drive did not include the familiar yellow bags being delivered to Kamloops homes. Instead, residences received tags through the mail to attach to bags in their home they could use to hold food donations. Food bank executive director Bernadette Siracky told KTW the organization will be reviewing its bag distribution plan in advance of the spring 2020 food drive. When the food drive began in 2008, about 15,000 pounds of food was collected from Kamloops residences. The heaviest load hauled in to the food bank’s Wilson Street facility was 65,000 pounds in the spring of 2018. The Kamloops Food Bank is always in need of donations. For more information, go online to kamloopsfoodbank.org.
Skeetchestn, NVIT team up Members of the Skeetchestn Indian Band are set to receive a bump in funding to promote literacy in their community, thanks to a partnership with Merritt’s Nicola Valley Institute of Technology and a grant from the provincial government. The band, located near Savona, will receive up to $30,000 to deliver Indigenous, adult and family literacy programs in its own community. The funds will be used for band-led programming, including one-on-one tutoring and small
group instruction. The goal is to support all levels of literacy, from basic to high school completion level and beyond. “For the last several years, Skeetchestn Indian Band has been applying for those grants through the ministry and they’ve been successful,” NVIT associate vice-president John Chenoweth said. “They have been running a number of different programs to address any literacy concerns they may have had in their community.” In order for the band — or any community — to apply for

the funding, they are required to partner with a post-secondary institution. “So, we are basically a vehicle for communities to access funding,” Chenoweth said. NVIT will continue to help the band with anything it needs to enhance learning opportunities in its community. “But we transfer the funds to the community and let them run what they want to. And then they report on it for us and the ministry,” Chenoweth said.

JAYS CARE ABOUT TEACHING
Forty people from local organizations that work with kids with special needs attended the Toronto Blue Jays’ Jays Care team workshop on Monday at Thompson Rivers University. The program is designed to empower youth and adults living with physical and/or cognitive disabilities, ensuring every one has the opportunity to play in a fun and safe environment. Insight Support Services brought in the Jays Care team’s challenger baseball program for the one-day workshop where they spent time learning various drills that apply to teach the life skills inherent to baseball, such as teamwork and communication. Edel King with Insight Support Services said the workshop was helpful in teaching a variety of ways to make sports fun for their kids. “We want to get them to enjoy it,” she said. “It’s not really as much about the game as it is about all the other skills that come with it — friendship skills, independence, all those social skills that are in sports.” Those in attendance included employees from Insight Support Services and Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism.

r. Gabor Mate, a Vancouver physician and sometimes controversial writer, has said: “Do not ask why the addiction — ask why the pain.” Some react harshly to this comment as they believe it provides those who use drugs with an excuse to continue doing so. Others who contend addiction is a biological and genetic illness may also react by stating trauma does not cause addiction — drugs and alcohol do, if one has the genetics. These people will say you can come from a great background with absolutely no trauma and still be struck down with the illness. The genetic argument is true; however, for too many years, trauma has been ignored. One danger about addiction being classed as a disease lies in the medical community itself. If addiction becomes primarily treated only by physicians, then trauma may not be given its due. This is not due to uncaring physician behaviour or malpractice, but simply because of the fact doctors are incredibly busy and have only minutes to address physical concerns. This can lead to prompt prescription of medications such as Suboxone, methadone
ASK AN ADDICT Ask an Addict is a column penned by a Kamloops scholar with expertise in addiction issues and someone who is also an addict. The column is meant to inform and help, which is particularly important as we remain mired in an opioid crisis that continues to claim thousands of lives each year. If you have a question you would like answered, email it to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com. Anonymity is guaranteed. or Naltrexone when addiction presents, with the trauma being left unaddressed. Many have read about Carson Crimeni, a 14-year-old Langley boy who recently died of an drug overdose while other teenagers laughed and posted Snapchat social media videos of him overdosing. “He’s 15 caps deep” they wrote on social media alongside the video, a reference to the drugs (MDMA or “Molly”) Carson was apparently given. The story made international headlines. According to news reports, Carson just wanted to fit in. In my teen years, I was like Carson, as were many of us. I just wanted to fit in. In my early teens, I took drugs, then acted out in ways to make people laugh. Having people laugh at me was better than being ignored or, worse, bullied. At least when kids laughed at me, I was in control. I
was noticed in a nonhurtful way. Laughing at me might be considered hurtful, but believe me, when it comes down to being belittled or bullied for something I didn’t or couldn’t do or being laughed at for something I did do, I always chose the latter. When I think about Carson, I think about the robust research on adverse childhood events (ACE). The original ACE study entailed data from more than 14,000 individuals. Ten types of trauma questions were developed and each question had a rating of one. People with a rating of four or more adverse childhood events had a 12-fold increase in alcoholism, drug abuse, depression and suicide attempts. The correlation of ACE with adult health issues (particularly addiction) are notable. Research shows 64 per cent of Americans have experienced at least one type of child-
hood trauma. An ACE of one doubles the risk of heart disease, cancer, liver, lung disease, stroke and diabetes. Research shows 25 per cent of people have experienced at least three adverse effects, which correlates with a seven-fold increase in substance abuse. I encourage readers to consider their personal ACE score and, if they have children (or are in contact with children), to also consider their scores. We tend to ignore or downplay the impact of childhood development/experiences, but childhood is the building block of all adult lives. What happens to us matters. Experiences impact brain development and function, yet we tend to minimize these by telling people to “pull up your socks” or, worse, “get over it.” Granted, people may have choice when they become adults, but too often we are unaware of that which influences our actions. We cannot change that which we do not acknowledge. By not acknowledging childhood trauma, we may unconsciously live in — and act out — our painful past. I would be interested to know readers’ ACE scores, if they wish to share them with me. For more on this topic, go online to acestoohigh.com.
More funding for OD crisis New municipal funding for communities seeking local solutions to the overdose crisis was announced on Monday at the first day of the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Judy Darcy announced up to $3.5 million in funding. “From day one, we recognized that it is people on the ground, on the front lines of the overdose crisis who know best what works in their communi-
ties, large and small,” Darcy said. Up to $50,000 in grant funding for community projects is available through the Community Wellness and Harm Reduction Grant Program administered by the Community Action Initiative. Examples of eligible projects include community dialogues, needle distribution and recovery programs and projects that reduce stigma and help connect people to health-care services.
In addition to grant funding, 35 communities hardest hit by the overdose crisis will receive up to $150,000 in funding for on-the-ground community action teams to escalate local, integrated planning and strategies in response to the overdose crisis. Nineteen community action teams — including in Kamloops — are in their second year of operation and 16 new teams are being established throughout B.C., based on updated overdose data and community need.

HOUSING PROJECT RISES, UNIT BY UNIT
Work continues on the latest supportive housing project in Kamloops. The 42-unit facility from BC Housing is rising next to the Emerald Centre shelter on West Victoria Street and will provide homes for Kamloops residents experiencing homelessness. The project was scheduled to begin construction last year, but delays led to work to begin this summer. A similar housing project — Spero House on Tranquille Road in North Kamloops — opened this past March. The West Victoria Street housing will be operated by the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association and is being manufactured locally by Horizon North. The complex is expected to be finished in early 2020 and will consist of 37 modules, including one elevator module, built in Horizon North’s local Mount Paul Industrial Park facility. Each unit will contain a washroom, kitchen and bedroom/living room space, with tenants also having access to common laundry spaces and a commercial kitchen and dining space on the first floor. The facility will have 24/7 staffing and support with several spaces available for staff to deliver programs to residents. The exterior of the building will have 13 parking spaces, bicycle parking and a patio area.
West Vic project remains on schedule KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The West Victoria Street reconstruction project remains on schedule, with completion expected in the summer of 2020. If weather conditions are favourable, the city expects the street, from First Avenue to Overlanders Bridge, to be paved and all lanes open to traffic by the end of the year. The city also expects, by the end of 2019, the sidewalk on the north side of Victoria Street West to be finished and the sidewalk on the south side of the road to be completed, with the exception of those areas where BC Hydro
poles are still in place. West Victoria Street between Polar Battery and Stereo Warehouse was paved last Friday, as was the exit lane from West Victoria Street to West Seymour Street. This week, third-party utility work continues on the north side of West Victoria Street West, near Sun Life Financial. The concrete pouring for sidewalks also continues, moving west. Landscaping work continues throughout the corridor, while curb and gutter work has been completed on the south side of the street. In the spring and summer of next year, the top lift of asphalt will be

installed, landscaping work will continue, BC Hydro poles will be removed and the remaining sidewalk panels will be installed. VIEW THE FUTURE To see what West Victoria Street will look like after the construction is complete, watch the 3D video rendering online at letstalk.Kamloops.Ca/victoriawest. SLOW DOWN The city is reminding drivers of the 30 km/h speed limit through the construction zone and are asking them to obey all traffic control signs and personnel.

Hotel havoc in Vancouver
More paperwork won’t stop violent criminals
Authorized by BCWF Political Action Alliance | 604-936-9141 | justiceforgunowners.ca
A strike by workers at high-end Vancouver hotels has spread to a fourth property as unionized staff at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia have launched job action. Unite Here Local 40 said frontdesk agents, room attendants, chefs and other staff set up picket lines on Sunday after negotiations broke down. A statement from the union said its members have been without a contract for eight months.
It said the strike is the first in the history of the 155-room Hotel Georgia property, which is managed by Rosewood Hotels and Resorts. Unite Here Local 40 members walked out last Thursday at the Hyatt Regency, Westin Bayshore and Pinnacle Harbourfront. The union says workload, safety and job security are key issues in the strikes at all four locations. — Canadian Press
Does money buy happiness? One of the most popular courses in America is Psychology and the Good Life. Yale professor Laurie Santos offers a course in “positive psychology” as opposed to psychological dysfunction. Dr. Santos wanted to teach not just the science of happiness but also the practice of happiness. And happiness, it turns out, does take practice. Her students must do a free online survey offered by the University of Pennsylvania titled the “Authentic Happiness Inventory” to establish baseline happiness, and then check in at the end to see how they’ve progressed. Professor Santos’s course includes 21 lectures of up-todate findings and proven methods to increase your wellbeing. Before we get happiness, we have to understand why we often get it wrong. Our minds persuade us to follow intuitions that turn out to be entirely wrong. For example: list the things that you think would make you happier: more money, a new home, vacation, etc. Your mind is constantly telling you that if you just got those things, you’d finally be unequivocally happy. Nearly everything we think will make us happier however doesn’t because it is only a circumstantial change. Many of us assume that circumstances play the biggest role in our happiness; however, research suggests roughly 50% of happiness is determined by genes, 10% by circumstance and the final 40% is determined by your
thoughts, actions, and attitudes (within our control) (Lyubomirsky Sonja, "The How of Happiness"). To determine what makes people happy, psychologist found it effect to study the habits of people who already identify as happy which include: devoting time to family and friends, practicing gratitude, practicing optimism and keeping physically active. What about money? Michael Norton of Harvard Business surveyed millionaires and asked, "How much more money would you need to be a perfect 10 in happiness?" People with $1 million said $3 million. People with $3 million said $9 million. And so it went all the way up. Money doesn’t make people unhappy. It’s just not the only currency that’s important. Interestingly, there is an income amount that does bring a level of happiness. Nobel Prize–winning economists Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton studied 1,000 American households and discovered that well-being rises with income until you hit $75,000, at which point it levels off. Beyond that, he found no observable increase in happiness with higher income. Generally, Western society does a terrible job of valuing time and money correctly. Money is theoretically infinite whereas time continuously depletes. Sadly we often associate money and wealth with success and status. For example: Many people would accept a new job with a higher pay even if it meant increased hours or a longer commute. On the other hand, studies have shown that people derive more happiness from time. One experiment, participants were offered $40 to spend it on a time-saving purchase (ordering takeout, hiring a house cleaner, etc.).

The same participants were offered another $40, to spend on a material good. The subjects reported being happier when they spent the money to buy "time" or the alleviation of time pressure. Some excellent activities to improve one's well-being or “rewire” your brain toward happiness: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7)
Sleep: get at least seven hours of sleep Gratitude: One study found that taking the time to journal just three things daily over 15 days led to better well-being in 94% of respondents Turn Your Phone Off: the evolution of smartphones has perpetuated electronic stimulation and dependency Philanthropy: there are three main ways to give back: Time, Talent or Treasure Meditate: even as little as ten minutes per day. Be Responsible: looking after children, pets or even a garden have shown to increase happiness Get Active: in addition to keeping healthy and releasing endorphins, if it is sunny outside, you get some vitamin-D
Those who know me, know I am "Type-A" and a goal chaser. While many of my accomplishments have brought a sense of joy and accomplishment they are not lasting. Honestly, I must work on my own happiness. I somewhat reluctantly completed the Authentic Happiness Inventory and was satisfied with the outcome but I admittedly I can do more of #1,2,4 and 6. Until next time... Invest Well. Live Well.

Blazers look to regroup after 0-3 start to season KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The Kamloops Blazers have gone from undefeated in the pre-season to winless through the first weekend of the 2019-2010 regular season. Kamloops went 7-0 in the pre-season, a streak that landed the Blazers at No. 5 in the Canadian Hockey League top 10 rankings of teams in all three leagues: the Western, Ontario and Quebec major junior leagues. But the club is 0-3 to start the regular season after falling 4-3 to the Winterhawks in Portland on Sunday night. The Blazers lost 4-1 to Seattle on Saturday night and fell 4-3 to visiting Spokane on Friday night. In Oregon, the teams were tied 3-3 after two periods, with Robbie Fromm-Delorme scoring for Portland at 1:35 of the third period. That goal stood up as the game winner. Logan Stankoven, Montana Onyebuchi and Kobe Mohr scored for Kamloops in Portland.
The Blazers outshot the Winterhawks 33-32, with Rayce Ramsay turning aside 28 shots in the Kamloops crease and Joel Hofer saving 30 shots in the Portland net. Against Seattle on Saturday, Kamloops outshot the Thunderbirds 51-34, but home goalie Roddy Ross was outstanding. Blazers’ netminder Dyland Garrand stopped 30 of 34 shots he faced. Zane Franklin scored Kamloops’ lone goal in the 4-1 loss. Against Spokane at home on Friday before a packed house of 5,654 fans, Stankoven, Sean Strange and Connor Zary scored for the Blazers in the 4-3 loss. Garrand turned aside 27 of 33 shots coming his way. Kamloops was 2-for-15 on the power play through the three weekend games. The Blazers will return home to face Kelowna this Friday and Vancouver this Saturday. Faceoff is 7 p.m. both nights at Sandman Centre.

ON THE HOT SEAT IN THE NHL? JOSHUA CLIPPERTON
CANADIAN PRESS
Toronto Maple Leafs’ head coach Mike Babcock acknowledged on the first day of training camp his seat could be a little warmer this season. After a 2017-2018 campaign that saw no coaching changes during the regular-season schedule — a first since 1966-1967 — seven bench bosses and two GMs were handed their walking papers in 2018-2019. The Canadian Press takes a look at which coaches and GMs could find themselves in the crosshairs in 2019-20: MIKE BABCOCK The Leafs surprised even themselves by making the playoffs in Babcock’s second season in charge back in 2016-2017. But after two straight sevengame losses in the first round to the Boston Bruins, the temperature has been turned up. With the likes of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and John Tavares up front, Morgan Rielly and Tyson Barrie on the blue line, and Frederik Andersen in goal, simply getting to the playoffs is no longer good enough. Babcock is in the middle of an eight-year, US$50-million contract he signed in 2015 —
long before current Leafs’ GM Kyle Dubas took charge. The old-school Babcock and analytics-driven Dubas say they have a good working relationship, but it will be interesting to see if that holds should the Leafs stumble. MARC BERGEVIN The GM of the Montreal Canadiens watched his team get agonizingly close to a playoff return last season, missing out on the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference by two points. Montreal has advanced to the playoffs in four of Bergevin’s seven seasons in charge, but a third straight absence could be the last straw in a market that demands excellence. Bergevin tried to make a splash this summer by signing restricted free agent centre Sebastian Aho to an offer sheet, but was criticized for not going far enough in terms of dollar value or length after the Carolina Hurricanes made it immediately clear they would match the deal and keep their player. JIM BENNING Heading into his sixth season as GM of the Vancouver Canucks, Benning is looking to make the playoffs for the first time since his inaugural year in
charge back in 2014-15. Vancouver has a good stable of young talent — including Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser — drafted by Benning, but he’s swung and missed on a number of free-agent signings during his tenure. Benning recently inked a three-year contract extension through the 2022-23 season, but Canucks’ owner Francesco Aquilini hasn’t been shy to drop the axe on an underperforming coach or GM in the past. PAUL MAURICE The Winnipeg Jets made it all the way to the Western Conference final in 2017-2018 and had big expectations heading into last season. But they faded down the stretch before getting bounced by the St. Louis Blues — who would go on to win the Stanley Cup — in the first round of the playoffs. Maurice will have a much different look on the blue line this season after Jacob Trouba was traded and Tyler Myers left in free agency. Add the uncertain future of fellow defenceman Dustin Byfuglien, and the fact RFA forwards Patrik Laine and Kyle Connor remain unsigned, and things could unravel quickly in Winnipeg.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Trevor George Jeanes July 5, 1933 – September 18, 2019
It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Trevor Jeanes on September 18, 2019 at the age of 86 with his family by his side. Trevor was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on July 5, 1933. The family moved to Victoria, BC where he grew up with his sister Valarie and his brother Dennis. In 1957, dad graduated from UBC with a Bachelor of Science in Forestry and became a Professional Forester. He worked all over the province from Prince George to Creston and most stops in between. No trip was ever boring because dad would tell a story of someone he had met or a place he had camped while working in the bush. It is while working for the BC Forest Service that he met the love of his life Anita whom he married in 1959. Shortly afterward they settled in Kamloops where they raised their three kids Michael, Marni and Brenda. Trevor worked for Balco Forest Ind./Tolko Forest Products until 1988 when he retired. Throughout his working life dad loved the outdoors, developing a keen interest in hunting and fishing and not a day went by without time for a couple games of cribbage, but his true passion was his garden. He was always proud of and happy to share his abundant harvest with friends and family. He met many friends through the Kamloops Fly Fishers Club, working on many projects such as improving wharfs at Heffley Lake and a spawning channel at Six Mile Lake. He also liked to tie flies and became known for Trevor’s ugly leech, giving some away to people he met while fishing at some of his favourite lakes. He spent his spare time building push toy ducks which he gave to the Ladies Auxillary. He loved to see kids playing with the waddling ducks he had made. He leaves to cherish his memory, his wife of 60 years Anita, children Michael (Adina), Marni Follweiter (Glen), Brenda Harrison (Jim), grandsons Brian Krogstad (Breanna), Jeff Krogstad (Stef), Spencer Harrison (Jen), Tyler Jeanes (Laura) and Kristoffer Jeanes (Jenine), as well as four great-grandchildren. He is survived by his sister Valarie and brother Dennis both of Victoia, BC. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the RIH Foundation. At Trevor’s request a private service with immediate family will be held at a later date. A special thank you to the nurses of 5-North who took such great care of dad.

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Violet Gray announce her passing. Vi slipped away peacefully in the wee hours of Sunday, September 15, 2019. Violet is predeceased by her parents Andrew and Margaret Johnston, her siblings and the love of her life and husband of 54 years George Tees Gray. Vi leaves behind her three children Lynne Bruce (Derek Donaldson) of Oliver, BC, Brian Gray (Sharon) of Kamloops, BC and Carol Adams (Edwin) of Aberdeen, Scotland, grandchildren Iain, Alex, Tracy, Selina, Brandy and Nathan, greatgrandchildren James, Nicholas, Claire, Emma and Parker and various nephews and nieces. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Violet was the youngest of six children. She loved school and excelled in athletics especially running. During the war, she was evacuated to a farm in Ireland, with her information on a paper tag attached to her coat and a tin cup. She was one of the children that were sent away from the major cities which were getting heavily bombed. This stay cured Violet of ever wanting to be a farmer. Violet was a very bright student and her teachers pleaded with Mr. and Mrs. Johnston to let her stay on at school and go to university but they thought that was unnecessary as she was a girl. Instead, she got a job at the post office, which, with her strong head for figures, suited her very well. Violet met George in Glasgow at one of the many dance halls there and was married at Stephen Memorial Church soon afterwards. They were accomplished ballroom dancers and frequently drew a crowd when they stepped out onto the dance floor. They also enjoyed racing Greyhounds in Scotland. Their family home was never quite complete without a few dogs by their side. Vi’s strong head for business was put to good use when they opened up a successful security company which was based in Glasgow.

Celebration of Life
In 1982, the family emigrated to Canada to set up a new life in the greater Kamloops area. They called McLure home for 25 years. Violet was a working partner at the Sahali Petrocan for many years and then was employed at the Heffley Creek Store. All those that met Violet loved her quick wit and spunk. Her cheeky sense of fun was evident right up until her last days which continued to endear people to her. Friends and acquaintances always remember her with a big hearty ‘Oh I just love Vi’. Accompanied by a good strong cuppa (tea) her favourite pastimes were reading novels, working on jigsaw and crossword puzzles, knitting and crocheting as well as watching her favourite TV programs. When venturing out on the town Vi was always impeccably dressed. Violet loved her bling so her outfits were never quite complete without several signature jewelry pieces. Violet had many friends through the years but the family is especially grateful for James Forbes her close friend of 30 plus years. His help and attention were invaluable especially in the past few years. We are also thankful for the true caring that has been shown to Vi by the staff at Chartwell Ridgepointe. Although she was not there for long it was always easy to see that the staff, too, had fallen under her spell and loved her. We are also thankful for the care and compassion shown to her by the staff of 5-South during her stay at RIH. There are several nursing staff that absolutely went above and beyond for her. For that we are forever grateful. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice. A Celebration of Life will be held in Violet’s honour at Chartwell Ridgepoint, 1789 Primrose Court, Kamloops, BC on Saturday, September 28, 2019 at 11:00 am.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
There are 20 socks in a drawer. The socks are not paired and are in scrambled order. Except for colour, the socks are identical. There are four black, four white, four blue, four brown, two green, one purple and one grey sock. It is dark and you need to get three matching pairs of socks. What is the maximum number of socks you have to take to be sure of three matching pairs?

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
SEPTEMBER 25 - OCTOBER 1, 2019 LIBRA
- Sept 23/Oct 23 Your professional life could use a shake-up, Libra. You just aren’t sure if that means taking a break for a little bit or going on the hunt for a new position entirely.
Cancer, if you’re thinking about running away from big decisions right now, realize they’ll only be waiting for you when you get home. Better to dig in right now.
Aries, you like to be friendly to everyone, but sometimes you have to accept that not everyone is on your team. This week you may experience push-back from a new face.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Taurus, you have a lot on your plate right now and you need to work through some tasks before you can focus on new things. Take some time to contemplate.
SCORPIO
- Oct 24/Nov 22 Do not take offense if some people do not appreciate your sense of humor, Scorpio. Humor is sometimes an acquired taste. Your true friends understand you thoroughly.
People have been asking for your input at every turn, Leo. You probably can use a break. It’s fine to step aside and let someone else handle things .
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
It is easy to find yourself on a spending spree, Gemini. Instead of figuring out when to put the credit cards away, leave them home instead.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Virgo, a change of scenery can be just what you need to infuse a new energy into your life. New opportunities can bring about a different perspective and attitude.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Are you ready for your long to-do list, Capricorn? Because those tasks are lining up and waiting for your finishing touches. Delegate a little, but don’t shy away from hard work.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, even though you are often a fountain of good information, sometimes the delivery leaves something to be desired. Watch your tone and filter for your audience.
PISCES
A houseful of guests is one way to put you on the spot and showcase how you are the consummate host/hostess, Sagittarius. Embrace the party full force.
