‘RETIREMENT’ FUND TIED UP IN WOOD SEIZURE SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man has had a large cache of firewood seized by the government, leaving area residents scrambling to find new suppliers as winter approaches. Rick Farr, 63, told Kamloops This Week that crews out collecting water samples at his Napier Lake property south of the city in early August stumbled upon his firewood supply and began questioning him about it. “They come in and say, ‘Boy, you’ve got a lot of wood in here. What are you doing?’” he said. Farr answered plainly and told them he was selling firewood, sourced from up in the mountains from piles left by loggers and anything fallen or left on the ground. “I said, ‘What? It’s just firewood,’” he recalled. Farr has been providing firewood to hundreds of people in rural communities in and around Kamloops for 15 years and is well-known as a reliable supplier. He said he had been storing and seasoning the seized wood for about two years and had amassed “well over” 500 cords, which he said would have sold for more than $100,000. “That was my retirement,” he said. The loss is significant for Farr, who has been distraught since his wood was seized. “I’m so sick right now. I can’t eat. I can’t think right. I’m just walking around my house. I’m so pissed off, especially when it didn’t have to happen,” he said. See FARR’S LAWYER, A12

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Rick Farr stands along a side road off Highway 5, just north of Rayleigh. Behind him, piled on Tolko property, is the massive load of firewood he had collected on Crown land and that was destined to be delivered to many residences from Lac le Jeune to Sun Peaks and from Savona to Paul Lake.

Boyfriend charged with 2000 murder Angel Fehr with her two daughters in an undated photo. Fehr’s body was found in September 2019 on a rural property near 100 Mile House, 19 years after she disappeared without a trace.

KARISSA GALL

BLACK PRESS

A man from Chasm, near Clinton, has been charged in connection with the death of a pregnant woman from Kamloops who was last seen by her family on Easter weekend 19 years ago. Trent Larsen, the boyfriend of Angel Fehr, was arrested on Sept. 15, police announced at a news conference at B.C. RCMP headquarters in Surrey on Thursday. Last weekend, Fehr’s body was found on a rural property just outside of 100 Mile House owned by a man unrelated to the crime. Fehr, 27, was last seen on April 23, 2000, when she had Easter dinner with her family, including her two daughters, in Abbotsford. After dinner, Fehr and Larsen left to drive back to Kamloops. The expectant mother was never seen nor heard from again. Investigators determined early in the investigation that it was out of character

for Fehr not to be in contact with her two daughters, police said. She also missed prenatal appointments and activity in her bank account and phone came to a complete halt. Despite following up on tips and leads over the nearly two decades since her disappearance, no arrests were made. In June 2016, the RCMP division dedicated to special major crimes cases took over the investigation “and employed conventional and non-conventional techniques to advance

the file” in the hope of finding the culprit, said Supt. Jeanette Theisen. “That day has finally arrived and we can only hope today’s announcement can bring Angel’s family some sense of relief and one step closer to healing,” Theisen added. Larsen has been charged with seconddegree murder and is expected to appear before a provincial court judge in Kamloops Law Courts on Sept. 30 In a statement released to the media, one of Fehr’s daughters offered thanks to the RCMP for their hard work and dedication to finding her mother. “The family is also extremely grateful for the property owner and his kindness and generosity through the search,” the statement read.

2020 CITY CALENDAR LAST CALL FOR PHOTOS

INTERACTIVE MAP HELPS PUBLIC AVOID MISHAPS

Residents of all skill levels and ages are invited to submit their digital photos for a chance to be featured in the 2020 City Calendar. This year, we are looking for YOUR image that you think best embodies Kamloops and represents one of the following concept:

Situations where underground utilities are accidentally damaged, blocked, or covered during construction or yard work can be inconvenient, costly, and even dangerous.

• • • •

community recreation arts and culture nature

Conditions: • photos taken and owned by the participant • maximum of 3 photos per participant, submitted in digital format • participants grant reproduction rights and permissions to the City of Kamloops • photos must be a minimum of 2 MB, must not exceed 20 MB, and must be in landscape format (horizontal orientation) Deadline: September 30, 2019, at 4:30 pm Kamloops.ca/Calendar

To help avoid these situations, the City has developed a new, interactive online map to allow residents and contractors to view City-owned underground utility infrastructure at any time. This user-friendly resource provides views of City-owned water, sanitary, drainage, and irrigation infrastructure. It also aligns well with the BC One Call program, which encourages residents and contractors to call before they dig to identify natural gas, hydro, telecommunication, and other utilities. The map allows users to search, measure, and print maps of infrastructure prior to commencing excavation work. It is also optimized to be viewed on handheld devices.

Still no word on cause of fire MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The cause of a fire that destroyed Parkcrest elementary on Sept. 5 has yet to be determined. Kamloops Fire Rescue fire information officer Kevin Cassidy said the department continues to help insurer Coast Claims, which has control of the scene. What caused the fire is still under investigation and it is possible it may never be determined. “I can’t say if we will be able to narrow down the cause,” Cassidy said. Fire investigators have teamed up with the insurance agent to look into different possible causes. Kamloops Mounties have confirmed the fire is not believed to

be arson-related. The fire’s approximate area of origin was identified as the southwest portion of the building. Cassidy said there is no timeline for when the insurance company’s investigation will wrap up. There were no students in the school at the time of the late afternoon blaze, but a few custodial staff and a teacher all escaped from the building unscathed. Firefighters were called to the school on Parkcrest Avenue, between Bossert Avenue and Acadia Place at 5:08 p.m., Due to the volume of fire and heavy smoke, firefighters fought the flames from a defensive position — meaning no interior attack was initiated as no one was believed to be in the building. The fire consumed the school and could still be seen smoulder-

ing the next day. Portions of the roof had caved in and exterior walls were bent inward. During a press conference that followed the fire, school district officials said the school didn’t have a sprinkler system. SD73 secretary treasurer Kelvin Stretch said 26 schools of the district’s 45 have sprinkler systems, leaving 19 that do not, as they were built before such systems were required to be installed. Stretch said that, in speaking with the fire department, a sprinkler system may have been useful, but it wouldn’t have saved the school. “That sprinkler system puts out about 15 gallons a minute and the fire department was putting 6,000 gallons a minute on that school,” Stretch said.

Bait bike blitz nabs eight — including well-dressed groom KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Over the course of four days recently, Kamloops Mounties targeted bicycle thefts through the use of a Kamloops-designed bait bike program — with eight people arrested and 23 charges laid. One of those arrested was a man who had just been married hours earlier. In the bait bike program, police lock up bikes in places where criminals may see them. The bikes are kept under surveillance and, if a suspect cuts the lock and steals the bike, officers are in a position to make an arrest. The project targeted certain problem areas and resulted in the following arrests of Kamloops residents: • A 43-year-old man arrested for theft and possessing property obtained by crime. • A 39-year-old man arrested for possessing property obtained by crime and trespass by night.

• A 28-year-old man arrested for theft, possessing property obtained by crime and obstructing police. • A 45-year-old man arrested for theft and possessing property obtained by crime. • A 32-year-old man arrested for theft, possessing property obtained by crime, obstructing police, trespass by night and mischief. • A 33-year-old man arrested for possessing a controlled substance and trafficking a controlled substance, with the drugs suspected to be methamphetamine, fentanyl and heroin. • A 45-year-old man arrested for theft, possessing property obtained by crime and possessing break-in tools. • A 41-year-old from Kamloops arrested for theft, possessing property obtained by crime and driving while prohibited. “In situations like this, we conduct the criminal investigation, but we also seek to understand

who these people are and why they are offending,” Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Simon Pillay said in a release. “None of the eight suspects are homeless. Most of those involved are known participants in the drug scene, either as an addict, user or both. One has recently been convicted of drug trafficking and is pending sentencing.” Pillay said the eighth suspect arrested, the 41-year-old man, had been married earlier in the day and was en route to his formal wedding reception when he was arrested. It is alleged he saw a locked bike and made time to stop, cut the lock and steal the bike. Pillay said the bike was recovered in the man’s vehicle while he was driving while prohibited from doing so. “The investigators noticed he was well dressed for conducting a bike theft and later were contacted by the concerned bride,” Pillay said.

Motorhome driven off lot Kamloops Mounties are asking for the public’s help finding a stolen motorhome. The 2012 white Forest River Lexington was stolen from the 1300-block of Salish Road on the Tk’emlups reserve at 4:20 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21. There were no plates on the vehicle. Surveillance video shows a man walking toward the motorhome and shortly thereafter, the vehicle is driven away. The suspect was dressed in a blue hoodie, black pants and white runners. Anybody with information on the crime is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

City wants child care feedback online The city wants to hear from parents without adequate child care. The city has posted a survey online, which is available for completion through the end of September, as part of the Community Childcare Planning Program. City communications manager Wendy Heshka said that, during a recent council meeting ,the province identified a childcare space shortage and the city is working to understand the issue locally. The city received grant funding previ-

ously in order to help assess local childcare gaps. “We’re looking to learn from you about your experiences,” Heshka said. “This will allow us to feed back to the province about what we’ve learned in our community and it will also inform our own efforts locally.” Heshka said research is focused on parents without childcare and/or with inadequate care. To complete the survey, go online to kamloops.ca/childcare.

NOW IS THE TIME TO MEET CANDIDATES

erhaps you have a blue or red or green or orange sign firmly planted in your front lawn and are simply waiting until Oct. 21 so you can exercise your franchise and get on with life. Maybe you are one of those products of the first-pastthe-post system and you have decided you need to vote strategically — casting a ballot for a specific candidate you do not necessarily support in an effort to bring about a certain result locally and federally. Then again, you may be a voter eager to take part in the democratic process, but thus far not certain which of the seven candidates in the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding will get your vote. You could be a decided voter whose decision has been altered by events during the campaign. If you belong to the latter groups, now is the time to get informed on the issues and candidates. Along with KTW’s candidate profiles (the sixth of which can be found on page A16 of today’s paper and all of which can be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com, under the Federal Election tab), the election forum season has begun. The first forum, organized by the Council of Canadians, will be held this Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market. There, you can chat with them before or after the forum and, if you feel so inclined, step up to the microphone and put them on the spot with a question you want answered. A list of future forums can be found on page A16 of today’s paper. Many of the forums are being organized by groups associated with a certain place on the political spectrum and/or focused on a specific issue. Other forums will be more general in nature. Not all candidates will be at all events, but we hope all try to attend as it is more impressive when one tries to convince someone of their stance rather than meet with like-minded peers. After all, the position they seek to fill represents all riding residents.

The Menaces as hobos

he two Dennis the Menaces crashed into the men’s locker room, bouncing off walls and lockers as they rushed past me and charged into the changing stalls. Menace 1 emerged first, his swimsuit on and his hands clutching a towel and his overstuffed backpack. “Come on, ya hobo! Hurry up!” he yelled at Menace 2, who was still changing behind the stall door. “I’m coming, ya hobo!” yelled Menace 2 as he opened the stall door and slammed it shut as though hinges were his enemy. Menace 1 scoffed and walked by me, opening a locker door and stuffing his backpack into a space too small for it — yet somehow he squeezed it in. He then patted his pocketless swimsuit, as if a quarter for the locker would emerge. With no coin to be found, Menace 1 looked at Menace 2, who simply shrugged. “Do you need a quarter?” I asked Menace 1, who offered a slight nod. I dug into my gym bag, found a quarter and tossed it to him. Once he had locked up his stuff, I decided to educate the Menaces on the finer points of insults. A hobo, I said, is a regal being, one who is poor and homeless, but one who prefers to work for any help — money or food — he or she can get. By using “hobo” as an insult, I said, they were, in fact, complimenting each other.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS I turned to Menace 1. “Now, if you really wanted to convey the fact your buddy here is a good-for-nothing sloth, you could label him a bum or a tramp or a ne’er-do-well or a layabout — perhaps even an aimless drifter from parts unknown,” I said. But a hobo? Nah, a hobo is the opposite of all those things. A hobo is an elegant working traveller, one who has manners and couth, but for whatever reason exists on the margins of society. A hobo is real and mythical all at once, both a caricature and a symbol of the Great Depression. A hobo has a unique language formed from riding the rails and making payments with sweat equity. A hobo knows the difference between a bull (railroad cop) and a bullet (beans) and a sky pilot (preacher) and a jungle (hobo camp). A hobo doesn’t borrow and a hobo doesn’t beg.

A hobo has character. You aren’t likely to come across a century-plus-old celebration of all things lazy, but if you are in Britt, Iowa, on the second weekend of August, you will find yourself at the National Hobo Convention. Dozens of hobos from across the United States join thousands of tourists for the annual shindig that has been held every year since 1900. If you are in Britt, the National Hobo Convention organizers advise adhering to correct language usage: a hobo is a travelling worker; a tramp is a traveller who doesn’t work; a bum neither travels nor works. Well before I could get to the crucial definition differences, I could tell the Menaces had tuned out. I think I lost them after I tossed them a quarter, with my words sounding to them like the adults in a Peanuts cartoon. So, after offering better lexiconic zingers to toss at one another, the Menaces turned and crashed their way through the showers and to the pool, all the while still arguing loudly over which one of them was this or that. And it does matter that we don’t arbitrarily decide this word now means that word. It matters that we guard our language from those who seek to dilute it. It matters that words retain their definition, even in this age of sanitizing every syllable. What’s in a word? Plenty, as any hobo will tell you. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PARADE CHANGE NO BIG DEAL CHANGE GARBAGE COLLECTION TO EVERY 10 DAYS Editor: In light of all the discussion of late about what a huge problem waste is becoming all over the globe, I would urge Kamloops council to look at reducing solid waste collection to once every 10 days, instead of once per week Not only would it cut down on overhead, wear and tear of vehicles, manpower and fuel, but more importantly, it will remind us there are limits. I think we become complacent when there are no caps on anything. Back in the day, before plastics were introduced, we never threw anything out. We re-used it until it fell apart. Today, with consumerism at an all-time high, we are filling up our landfills and recycling depots. Politicians need to pressure the people who do the packaging. As consumers, we really need to know how much does it costs every time the garbage is picked up. How much does it really cost every time we flush the toilet or do a load of laundry? It may sound petty, but it’s not. Its crucial to know the cost of living. Brian Husband Kamloops

Editor: A. Lafleur’s letter of Sept. 20 (‘Ho, ho, ho and no, no, no to Santa Claus Parade changes’) proves once again nothing can be changed in Kamloops without people making a gigantic fuss over it. Yes, it’s unusual to hold the Santa Claus Parade in the afternoon instead of the morning but it’s not unheard of and not nearly as big a deal as the letter writer makes it out to be. (Strangely, the fact a Christmas parade is held in November every year doesn’t seem to have bothered anyone.) To address the “concerns” in Lafleur’s letter: • It will be getting dark out, so the

writer wonders if fewer participants will be involved. I imagine the only ones sitting out will be those who are afraid of the dark. • The parade is scheduled at a time when people are usually making dinner. Here’s a wild idea — have dinner later. • The next day is a school and work day. The parade is scheduled to end at 5 p.m., not midnight. • Merchants that count on crowds after the parade will lose a great deal of that income. People can still visit these merchants before or after the parade, at least the ones open past 5 p.m. And, if they want the business so bad, they have the option to remain open a few extra

hours. Maybe families will decide to have dinner downtown after the parade, since they lost their valuable dinner-making time anyway. • Young children are cranky and tired at that time of day. Because no child has ever been cranky and tired at 10 o’clock on a Saturday morning? The writer closes by hoping this isn’t “a huge mistake that you’ll end up regretting.” I predict it will be a minor inconvenience at best. Change is inevitable, but it’s not the end of the world just yet. Dave Marklinger Kamloops

WAITING AND WONDERING ON LANSDOWNE Editor: Twenty-five minutes. That’s how long it took recently for me to turn from Third Avenue onto Lansdowne Street and get to Second Avenue. This is, to put it mildly, ridiculous. I had plenty of time to determine why this was happening and realized the problem is the traffic light at First

THANKS FOR HELP

Avenue and Lansdowne. With the construction traffic, only about nine cars are able to get through each cycle of lights. However, each cycle generally consists of four vehicles turning from First onto Lansdowne, with one or two clogging the intersection, then two or three vehicles turning from Lorne Street, with one clogging the intersection.

Editor: Kudos to the wonderful people who assisted me in my biking accident a few weeks ago at the corner of Summit and Waddington in Sahali.

Because of the cumulative backup, this means that once the light turns green for Lansdowne traffic, vehicles cannot go forward. And so it waits. Then the light turns red and the gap opens up and the cycle continues. My wife was right behind me, but turned down Victoria Street instead of following me to Lansdowne and got home

20 minutes earlier. Lansdowne is the arterial route to get out of downtown. The light at First needs to be changed, perhaps doubling the time allowed for the cars going straight through. The current situation is untenable — but at least everyone was zipper-merging.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

UNPLANNED EXPOSES TRUTH OF ABORTION INDUSTRY Editor: Re: The Sept. 11 letter from Martha Solomon in which she criticizes the Kamloops Film Society for agreeing to show the film Unplanned at the Paramount Theatre on Sept. 27, Sept. 28 and Sept. 29 (‘Screening film is a bad plan’). First of all, we commend the Kamloops Film Society for agreeing to screen the film and thank chair Tom Friedman for his excellent response to Solomon’s letter via his own letter to the editor

(‘Film society stands by Unplanned decision,’ Sept. 11). Solomon refers to Unplanned as “an anti-choice propaganda film full of lies about abortion and health care” and that it undermines women. These are all false claims. We would like to stress the following: • The purpose for screening this movie is not to shame women or teenagers who have had abortions. That is not the intention. • The film is based on

true events. • The film reveals what takes place in an abortion. • The movie is a means to educate and expose the truth of the abortion industry. Solomon is correct in saying the film can cause distress for those who have had abortions. Despite being well aware of the inevitable backlash from prochoice advocates, the board of directors of the Kamloops Pro-life Society felt it imperative to screen this film.

Our mandate is to promote and educate the Kamloops community concerning the value, respect and protection of human life from conception to natural death. Canada has no abortion law, so there are no restrictions, meaning abortions can be performed throughout the nine months (paid for by tax dollars). While the rights of the woman are of utmost importance, there are no rights given to the unborn child, the most vulnerable member of society.

If this film were about the senseless slaughter of puppies, there would be an outrage and tickets would be sold out. It is our hope the screening of Unplanned will lead to healthy, open dialogue and the sharing of reliable information, as well as increased support of pregnant women and the protection of their unborn children. Kamloops Pro-life Society board of directors voices4life.com

ONCE AGAIN, A A WONDERFUL WALK IN A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE FIRM ‘NO’ TO AJAX Editor: Re: KTW’s front-page article of Sept. 25 (‘Abacus claims it is working to revive Ajax mine project’): It was suggested by the Kamloops community that because of such a sloppy presentation and process by KGHM and Abacus — which led to the provincial government rejecting the mine application in December 2017 — the people involved should take a different career path. Is “no” — a two-letter word that is shorter than an 18,000-page application — too difficult for these folk to understand? Bill Hadgkiss Kamloops

Editor: I was recently with a gathering of friends that included people from out of town. On one of those gorgeous late summer days, we explored the downtown together. We admired the city’s beautiful container plantings. We explored the avenues and alleys to discover the many fabulous murals. We went to Riverside Park, appreciating the relaxing ambience, the scenic view of the confluence and the city’s amazing flower beds. From there, we walked along

Lansdowne Street to show our friends Bill Frymire’s spectacular new mosaic on the parkade — Community Confluence — then to a brew pub, then to a restaurant for dinner. It was all wonderful: the fascinating murals, the relaxing green spaces, the city’s stunning container plantings and flower beds, the mosaic on the parkade and the delicious beer and food. We all had a great time and we did it just by walking. Thank you, Kamloops, for being such a great place to live. Maryanne Whiting Kamloops

STAFF REPORTER

City council has approved an application by Kamloops Hot Yoga co-owner Dwight Ergang for a cannabis store in the Brock Shopping Centre at 17-1800 Tranquille Rd., the location previously home to the hot yoga studio. Kamloops Hot Yoga also has a location on Laval Crescent.

An assistant manager told KTW the Brock studio shuttered in July and the plan is to subdivide the space and pave the way for a cannabis store and yoga studio following renovations. Last week, council voted 8-0 in favour of approving the retail cannabis store application. Coun. Denis Walsh declared a conflict of interest. The application now requires approval from the province. At this time, no canna-

LOCAL NEWS Wood Rick Farr collected and cut into firewood sits in a huge pile on Tolko property north of Rayleigh. Farr said the mound is worth more than $100,000. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Farr’s lawyer hopeful a compromise can be reached From A1

Farr, 63, said he was planning on selling the remainder of the wood and soon retire, giving his body a break from working seven days a week serving his customers, as he has done for the past 15 years. Now he’s worried he won’t be able to secure another means of income. “It’s just stupid. I like what I do and it was simple,” he said. “I built it out of nothing and now it’s taken away and I could possibly lose my house. They took my whole livelihood away.” A spokesperson for the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development confirmed to KTW it had seized “a large volume of timber, some processed into firewood, from two locations in the Kamloops area,” but declined to comment further or answer questions related to the seizure. Farr said he was not given a reason for the seizure and said he was threatened with fines and even jail time if he continued selling wood. In B.C., residents are allowed to cut firewood on Crown land for personal use with a Free Use Permit for Firewood. But the wood taken cannot be sold. The province does offer permits under the Small Scale Salvage Program, but Farr’s past experience with the program was not favourable and kept him from trying again.

“About 10 years ago, I went to forestry and told them I wanted to take wood from the logging piles. There’s a tonne of wood there and they were just going to burn it,” he said. Farr engaged with the ministry for a month while trying to secure the permit. When it was finally approved and his paperwork secured, Farr said he returned to the wood waste piles, only to find the charred remains of what would have been his harvest. “I told them, what a waste of my time, a waste of your time, a waste of everybody’s time,” he said. Farr’s lawyer, Daniel McNamee, said he was told by the ministry that the issue is that the wood was not marked or scaled by Farr or the person who removed it. “It’s not exactly clear to me really why they have chosen to seize it all,” McNamee said. McNamee said he questions the fairness of the wood being seized over a scaling and marking issue, if that is the case, and also questioned the timing of the seizure. “It’s also sort of surprising that the ministry would do this given all the forestry issues and the issues with mills closing down,” he said. “People have difficulty finding work and now they’re clamping down on someone who is on the fringes of the industry. He’s not in the forestry industry, he’s a guy who is cutting and preparing firewood for people.” McNamee said for Farr’s case to be properly litigated, the expenses

would not be proportionate with the firewood at stake, so he’s trying to reach a compromise with the ministry that might include Farr paying stumpage fees for what was taken and Farr being in compliance in the future. “It’s not like I’ve been met with a really tough response. I’m optimistic he’ll be met with a reasonable response because Mr. Farr wants to take a reasonable approach and remedy any of his non-compliance issues,” McNamee said. He noted the seizure is a government action and that Farr does have Charter rights to protect him against government action, including Section 8 of the Charter against unreasonable search and seizure. Farr once worked in the nightclub business in Langley, but after meeting his wife, left the Lower Mainland and met her request to live near a lake. He was drawn to this area, in part, because his father lived in Merritt and the two used to fish nearby lakes. “I moved the kids up. I moved everyone up and, unfortunately, my wife passed away, so I raised her kids,” he said. Raising the kids on his own in the early 2000s, Farr said he was initially looking for a job he could do while keeping up day-to-day school activities. “I used to go out and get wood for my place on Napier Lake and had neighbours ask if they could buy some off of me,” he said. Farr obliged and took his wood-

collecting habits to a more professional level, with his business growing and spreading beyond his immediate neighbours. Last year, he had more than 200 customers. “I have a lot of good regular customers — a lot of them are elderly,” he said. “Pinantan, Paul Lake, Knutsford … People are getting older and they just can’t go out in the bush and get it themselves,” he said. The shutdown has had an effect on Farr’s customers — more and more of whom are calling him each day as the weather turns and wood stoves beg for fuel. “I had a guy call me yesterday,” Farr said. “He’s 80 years old. I’ve been supplying him with wood for the last 10 years. I had to tell him, ‘I’m sorry. They seized all my wood. They took it.’ And now he’s lost and doesn’t know what to do.” The shutdown of Farr’s service has led to a number of inquiries as to where new wood will be found. Some customers are getting anxious about the coming cold. “I’ve been looking in the newspaper and nobody has firewood anywhere,” Marie Neef told KTW. Neef lives in Westsyde with her elderly parents. Her 87-year-old mother has dementia and her father is 85. The couple has been buying wood from Farr for about 15 years. Neef moved in with her parents to provide needed care and is now scrambling to find a firewood sup-

plier that can deliver wood to them for the winter. “Rick gives a discount for seniors. He’s always been totally awesome that way. And when he comes, he doesn’t just dump it and leave because he knows my mom and dad and has for a long time. It’s almost like he’s family,” she said. Neef called the seizure “totally and completely unfair.” “There are so many people up here who rely on firewood to keep warm in the winter. They’re going to be killing old people. I’m very angry. I’m very upset,” she said. Gregg Lindros lives in Lac Le Jeune, where he and several of his neighbours have been buying wood from Farr for years. “A long time ago, I used to cut up the wood myself, but I’m not doing that,” he said. “I’m 64 — and a lot of people up here are my age or older and we rely on guys like Rick to bring us wood.” Lindros said he is now turning to neighbours and local bulletin boards to find a new supplier. “There’s a lot of people who live out in the country, so you take away a basic necessity and that’s a big deal,” he said. “It also just strikes me that if there was a wrongdoing, don’t just shut the little guy down like that,” Lindros said. “Surely there could have been a process where there was a warning. To all of the sudden roll in and say, ‘We’re taking all the wood’ — that doesn’t seem right to me.”

Draft transit plan calls for more buses, hours MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A renewed City of Kamloops transit plan calls for an additional 26,000 service hours to increase ridership in over the next five years. Representatives from the City of Kamloops and BC Transit presented the draft plan of the Kamloops Transit Future Plan — a renewed version of the 2012 plan — to city council at a recent committee of the whole meeting. Many short- and medium-term objectives from the 2012 plan have been completed, necessitating an update. The revised plan recommends expanding service hours by 26,300 and adding 15 more vehicles in the next five years — a cost of about $350,000 to the municipality per year for an average increase of 5,000 hours. Short-term infrastructure priorities within three years include exploring the idea of building a transit exchange in Valleyview and identifying a new site for the Thompson Rivers University bus exchange. Mid-term priorities that are three to five years out include studying the implementation of a park-and-ride system — which involves

motorists leaving their cars in parking lots and travelling to the city centre on public transportation — and expanding the bus shelter program. Improved accessibility to existing bus stops is also recommended, which was an identified priority in the 2012 plan, as was a bus exchange in Valleyview — money for which is being set aside by the city, Deven Matkowski, the city’s engineering manager, told council. Strategic priorities in the plan include right-sizing buses and expanding transit service to more areas as the city grows, with the report noting Ord Road in Brocklehurst and Qu’Appelle Boulevard in Juniper Ridge as areas that should be monitored. During a feedback portion of the meeting, Coun. Arjun Singh said he would like the plan to address how bus service can be made more reliable, noting he has heard from vehicle owners intent on taking the bus, but who have been let down in the past. “If we lose those folks, we’re really in a big pickle of trying to get more riders on the bus,” Singh said. Matkowski said the topic of reliability will be discussed at a future council committee meeting. Singh said he is concerned people are

having bad experiences taking the bus, which isn’t acceptable if the city wants to move

Prospect of new Ajax application raises concerns JESSICA WALLACE

Kamloops Deputy Mayor Denis Walsh said he was “surprised”

and “disappointed” to hear the controversial Ajax mine project

years down the road. I’m surprised it’s come back.” The copper and gold mine project is coowned by Poland-based KGHM International and Vancouver-based Abacus Mining and Exploration Corporation. KGHM owns 80 per cent of interest in the project and Abacus owns 20 per cent. In a newsletter to investors this week, Abacus president and CEO Paul Anderson said Abacus and KGHM are preparing to “potentially” resubmit an environmental application. Walsh said he had not heard a peep about the project at city hall until he read about it this week in the newspaper. “There’s no headsup on it, which is a bit surprising,” he said. “They said it had adverse effects on human health and the grasslands, the provincial government vetted anyway. So I don’t know how they hope to mitigate those problems, but I guess it’s a huge investment for them, so they’re willing to spend the money.” He speculated investors could possibly be anticipating a change in government as the Oct. 21 federal election nears. To become an active mine, Ajax needs the approval of both the provincial and federal governments. In December 2017, the provincial government rejected the project’s application. “I’m definitely against it,” Walsh said. “My viewpoint hasn’t changed at all. It’s not good for

Kamloops.” Skeetchestn Indian Band Chief Ron Ignace reiterated opposition to the project by the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwépemc Nation, which consists of the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc and Skeetchestn First Nations. He was surprised to hear the project may be revived. “I guess he [Abacus CEO and president Paul Anderson] hasn’t read or looked at the decision by our independent project panel review, which consisted of the 13 heads of families from both my community and the community in Tk’emlups and supported by 150,000 people across the country,” Ignace said. “When our family members, after sound and long deliberations, looking at all the facts, concluded that it’s the wrong mine and the wrong place.” Ignace called the Ajax mine area, known to the First Nations as Pipsell, a “cultural keystone,” significant due to its plants, animals, few remaining grasslands and storied and sacred cultural relevance. “I think that these mining companies ought to understand that, in a time of reconciliation, restitution, they recognize and respect our rights,” he said. Asked what he would do if, in fact, the project does return to the application phase, Ignace said: “It’s clear. No means no. What part of no don’t you understand?”

Kamloops is B.C.’s largest mining community in terms of spending, with 410 mining suppliers selling $342.5 million worth of worth of materials, good and services to the industry. Prince George is second, with 300 suppliers generating $252 million. Those figures come from a report commissioned by the Mining Association of BC and the Mining Suppliers Association of BC and released this week at the annual Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver. The report noted British Columbia’s mines and smelters have a significant economic impact. In 2018, companies owning mines and smelters purchased $2.9 billion worth of materials, goods and services from more than 3,700 businesses in 215 urban, rural and Indigenous communities.

Cheeseborough seeks to bring a new perspective to the role of local MP MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen she was 18, Kira Cheeseborough didn’t care about politics. “I wasn’t happy with what was happening in the country at the time … but I still didn’t feel like my voice or opinion mattered,” Cheeseborough said. Given the urgent threat of global warming, the 25-year-old feels differently now and wants to do more than just vote. “We should also be having somebody representing young people directly — being a direct conduit of young people’s concerns with what’s happening with the planet,” she said. Cheeseborough is one of about a dozen candidates across the nation running under the Animal Protection Party of Canada banner. While the party’s main objective is to protect animals from human harm and exploitation, its

platform covers a variety of topics. Cheeseborough noted moving to proportional representation, phasing out of the forestry industry, conciliation with First Nations, higher taxes on the wealthiest Canadians and greater tariffs on imports from countries that don’t have aggressive carbon taxes as examples. “One of them that’s really important to me is reconciliation or conciliation with Indigenous peoples of Canada,” Cheeseborough said. Asked why she chose to run for office, Cheeseborough cited global warming — a key issue she wants to focus on if elected. “People my age and in my generation are the ones that, in 30 years, are going to be dealing with those repercussions of inadequate decisions being made right now to address it,” Cheeseborough said. She added that, as a young person, she can bring a new perspective to the job as MP for KamloopsThompson-Cariboo and focus on issues other candidates aren’t addressing, such as the impacts of animal agriculture and climate change. “But addressing climate change as a lens to see

everything through, not just as an isolated issue. We’re not going to solve climate change by banning single-use plastics, you need to be looking at how our economy operates,” Cheeseborough said, noting over-extraction of natural resources and a need to transition to greener technology. Born and raised in Kamloops, Cheeseborough is a third-year bachelor of social work student at Thompson Rivers University and works for A Way Home Kamloops, a group focused on ending youth homelessness. Cheeseborough also has a passion for advocacy. She founded the group Kamloops Animal Rights Movement and Advocacy (KARMA), which last July filed a complaint with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency regarding an overcrowded pig transport truck Cheesborough captured footage of while it was passing through Kamloops. She has been involved in a variety of advocacy groups and protests, including the March to End All Slaughterhouses that took place in Vancouver this past June and the Meat The Victims animals rights group.

According to a city report, the property is undeveloped hillside. Half of the land in the western region of Pineview is too sleep to develop and will also be rezoned as part of the application, designated as open space and dedicated to the city in order to protect the trail network, the report states. Pineview has a vast trail network frequented by trail runners and mountain bikers. A covenant is also apparently registered on the title of the property, identifying a large portion of the site as future park. The report notes the developer will be responsible for relocating any existing public trail connections impacted by construction. Council voted unanimously (9-0) to send the application to a public hearing next Tuesday. Pineview is situated in the Southwest Sector, an area expected by the city to see 43 per cent of Kamloops’ population growth in the next two decades.

Most of Kamloops council (seven of nine) is represented among some 2,000 delegates at this week’s Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver, about 1,200 of whom are local government officials. Others include provincial counterparts. In attendance at the annual convention, which concludes on Friday, are Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Dieter Dudy, Bill Sarai, Arjun Singh, Dale Bass, Sadie Hunter and Kathy Sinclair. Councillors Mike O’Reilly and Denis Walsh could not attend due to personal reasons. Council had scheduled myriad meetings with ministers, including B.C.’s Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth on Wednesday to discuss financial pressures that stem from holding out-of-town criminals in RCMP cells. Sarai said Ashcroft and other rural communities don’t have such facilities, putting pressure on the Kamloops detachment and, in turn, adding costs to the municipality, which picks up the police tab. Sarai said Farnworth is aware of the situation, but does not expect an imminent solution, due to a lack of tracking officer time and benefits the city also receives

from external emergency response teams and special units. “They look at cost recovery,” Sarai said. “But they’re thinking it always events out, but it doesn’t.” Resolutions put forth by municipalities and regional districts were debated from Wednesday through Friday, including four from Kamloops and the ThompsonNicola Regional District calling on municipalities to lobby the province for online voting (endorsed); institutional, commercial and industrial recycling; taxing shortterm rentals not in a primary residence as businesses and boating restrictions during states of emergency (endorsed). A resolution from the Regional District of Central Kootenay pushed to retain land title records in Kamloops. Records from Nelson were previously moved to the Kamloops office. The province planned to move the records from Kamloops to Victoria, but recently delayed the move. O’Reilly has also pushed the issue at city hall. AWARD-WINNING R EGIONAL DISTRICT The TNRD picked up an award at the convention, earning excellence in service delivery for its mobile library service which provided advanced voting to rural communities in the 2018 fall civic election.

SINGH REFLECTS ON PRESIDENCY When KTW reached Singh by phone in Vancouver on Wednesday, he was battling with losing his voice. The Kamloops councillor had been giving speeches as part of his role as UBCM president. In addition to convention duties, Singh in the past year has travelled the province, juggled UBCM, council and ThompsonNicola Regional District responsibilities and transitioned many new local government officials in the wake of last fall’s election. He is now in his last hours in his role, with Sooke Mayor Maja Tait expected to be acclaimed president on Friday. Through a raspy voice, Singh called it an “amazing year” and cited support from his colleagues and the community. “It’s been a real honour to represent the province, but also represent Kamloops and the region,” Singh said. On Friday, he will become past-president, a position on the UBCM executive. Singh said the role will be less handson than that of president — which led to him missing the occasional TNRD and council meeting — and more of an advisory position. In addition, Singh remains chair of the UBCM committee on climate action, which is tackling advocacy and best practices to reduce emissions among member municipalities.

Council members passed on UBCM China-sponsored event JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Most Kamloops politicians skipped a controversial China-sponsored reception on Wednesday night at the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver as the organization sought feedback on whether to continue the practice. In a voluntary survey, 64.5 per cent of respondents disagreed with allowing sponsorship by foreign governments, while 11.6 per cent were neutral/uncertain and 23.9 per cent agreed with the sponsored receptions. The UBCM appointed a panel to review convention financing after the event came under fire as cash for access. Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West pointed to soured CanadaChina relations and China’s egregious human rights record. The Chinese government contributes about $6,000 in sponsorship dollars to host a reception for B.C.’s elected officials, which has been part of the convention since

2012 as a way to explore economic and development opportunities with China. Describing it as a “political hot potato,” Coun. Dieter Dudy did not attend Wednesday night’s event and is opposed to continuing the sponsorship into the future. “I’ve never agreed with us having that kind of situation to begin with,” Dudy said. Coun. Bill Sarai echoed Dudy’s sentiment and Mayor Ken Christian and Coun. Dale Bass confirmed they did not attend the reception. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to be attending,” Sarai said. “I’m speaking for myself.” One Kamloops councillor, however, did attend the Chinasponsored event. Coun. Arjun Singh said he attended in his capacity as president of the Union of BC Municipalities, a position in which he has two remaining days. Asked if he would have attended if he was not UBCM president, he called it a “moot point.” Singh noted the feedback from

delegates, in which 64.5 per cent of respondents said they do not support foreign government sponsorship. “Next year, we’ll have to see what we do,” he said. However, asked whether a majority disagreeing with the event should not then lead to its cancellation, Singh said the issue needs to be assessed “holistically,” including canvassing the entire UBCM membership. The feedback was collected only from those who voluntarily attended an event at the convention on Wednesday morning and it is unclear how many people were represented. The UBCM did not have that figure. The review will continue in the coming months and it remains unclear whether the Chinasponsored reception will return next year. When the convention ends on Friday, so, too, will Singh’s term as president. He will remain on the executive as past-president, with Sooke Mayor Maja Tait expected to be acclaimed president.

WELCOME TO THe Holmes Is WHere

I remember a day, many years ago, when I happened across the Golf Channel on TV and heard the commentator talking about a golf lesson Tiger Woods had recently taken. I found it astonishing to think that the world’s best golfer needed to improve his game. We recently witnessed a historical sporting moment when 19-tear-old Bianca Andreescu defeated Serena Williams, one of the the top tennis players in the world, in the U.S. Open. This certainly does not mean Bianca no longer needs a coach. In fact, many professional athletes would tell you that reaching that level of success presents much pressure as it’s even harder to maintain that level of success. Therefore, they feel the need to not only have a coach, but an assistant and mental-performance trainer, as well. Kamloops has many gyms. There are also dozens of well-known personal trainers who offer custom workouts to clients in their home or a fitness facility. I know some people who have been seeing the same trainer for more than five years and they are already totally ripped, healthy and have an incredible physique. Even though they have

I have gone on Plenty of Fish to look around and see what’s happening over there and I can tell you there are many people in need of a personal trainer and, quite frankly, a photographer. I also had a browse through Tinder and, judging by the duck lips and cleavage, I felt great knowing I am obviously filling a big void in this market with a personalized service. You would not believe how many single, attractive, high profile or successful people there are in Kamloops. They never get asked out. They also will not put themselves on public dating apps as they have careers — doctors, lawyers, massage therapists, teachers and counsellors — that preclude posting such public profiles. They all like the idea that I can act as their agent and discreetly connect them to someone wonderful who has better things to do than stand in a bathroom taking selfies.

reached this level, they still continue to rely on their trainer to push them to stay motivated. I saw on an Ask Kamloops post on Facebook in which an athletic person was asking for recommendations on a fitness trainer in town. While everyone was making suggestions, nobody laughed and said, “Why on earth would you need a trainer?” Recently, a happy client of mine told a group of people at a social outing that he met his amazing new girlfriend through my service. One of the onlookers replied, “I am surprised someone like you needed help.” This type of comment infuriates me, but I take it as an opportunity to educate and inform people. Would

Bass optimistic after UBCM meeting JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops councillor pushing to ban single-use plastics is optimistic after meeting with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change at the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Coun. Dale Bass — who ear-

lier this year spearheaded the city’s examination into banning plastic carryout bags — said deputy minister Mark Zacharias advised council the province expects to announce a more global approach to plastic pollution next spring. The province has been collecting feedback from B.C. residents on a multitude of actions, from banning single-use packag-

ing to recycling more plastics and expanding the depositrefund system. Bass said she was pleased by the news and pointed to her original motion, which also called for the city to examine banning plastic straws and cutlery. “I was not happy when cutlery and straws were taken out of the motion to begin with,” Bass said.

Collette Brown and Samson enjoyed a recent visit to the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market downtown. The market will be busy again this Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at St. Paul Street and Third Avenue.

The show must go on — by mid-October. School District 73 is nearing completion of repairs to its 685-seat Sagebrush Theatre, which has been closed since a cracked roof truss was discovered in February. Last weekend, crews installed new

steel trusses to support the existing wood trusses in the roof, SD73 facilities director Art McDonald told KTW. “It takes a lot of the weight off of the wood structure,” McDonald said, noting the steel should help prevent future cracks like the one discovered earlier this year. The cracked wood truss still needs to be repaired and

new carpet within the theatre is being replaced, McDonald said. “What we had to do in terms of installing the steel structure, we had to remove some of the existing carpet anyways, so it just made sense to finish it off,” he said. The repair work is still on budget and on schedule. The project’s cost is $900,000, a bill

not covered by insurance. McDonald said the goal is to have the theatre reopened no later than Oct. 15. Local development company A&T Project Developments Inc. was hired to make the repairs. Sagebrush Theatre is adjacent to South Kamloops secondary at Ninth Avenue and Munro Street.

McDonald’s manager wins national award DEREK MORHART IS IN CHARGE OF THE RESTAURANT CHAIN’S SAHALI LOCATION

The manager of the Sahali McDonald’s restaurant has snared a national award from the company. Derek Morhart has won a 2019 Outstanding Manager of the Year award, which recognizes the top performing managers across the country. Morhart has been recognized due to his excellent service and what the company calls his “significant contribution to employee growth, marketing and restaurant operations.” Morhart began working at the Aberdeen McDonald’s location 10 years ago, when he was 16 years old. “Working at McDonald’s has taught me valuable life skills, helping me to grow my interpersonal skills and communicate with teams,” Morhart said. “It means a lot to receive this award and I look forward to learning more from those around me and running an even better restaurant.”

Every year, McDonald’s franchisees and regional management nominate restaurant managers across the country for the Outstanding Manager of the Year award to recognize hard work, dedication and commitment to McDonald’s Canada and its customers. “Derek has always put the needs of our guests first, going above and beyond and providing the highest quality of service,” said Alan Gozda, Kamloops McDonald’s franchisee. “Derek’s work ethic is outstanding — he treats the business as if it is his own. This award is a welldeserved achievement.” McDonald’s arrived in Canada in 1967, when it opened its first restaurant north of the border in Richmond. Today, there are 1,400 McDonald’s restaurants across Canada employing nearly 100,000 people.

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer and Green Leader Elizabeth May are both in Montreal on Friday, as the third week of the federal election campaign begins. Scheer has a morning announcement scheduled at Jarry Park and then hits the town with Conservative candidates in what have historically been among the safest Liberal ridings in the city: Mount Royal and SaintLeonard-Saint-Michel. Mount Royal has gone for the Liberals in every elec-

tion since 1940; it was the seat of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Pierre for nearly 20 years. Saint-Leonard-SaintMichel has elected Liberals since it was created in the 1980s, though its three MPs have been Alfonso Gagliano, a minister brought down in the sponsorship scandal of the early 2000s; Massimo Pacetti, whom Justin Trudeau expelled from the Liberal caucus in 2014 over allegations heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d harassed another MP; and Nicola Di Iorio, who stopped showing up in the House of Commons before eventually resigning last winter.

Still, Conservatives have never come close to winning there. May is to speak in the afternoon about the role she sees Quebec playing in the Greensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vision of a Canada powered by renewable energy. Trudeau starts his day in Sudbury, Ont., expected to continue a string of environment-related announcements at a conservation area, before whistlestopping his way southeast to a rally in Peterborough, where cabinet minister Maryam Monsef is fighting to keep her seat. The NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jagmeet Singh is spending a third day in

a row in British Columbia, talking mainly about housing in events on Vancouver Island. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing defence: Vancouver Island is where the Greens see their best chances of picking up seats, after a byelection win over the New Democrats in Nanaimo-Ladysmith last May. Singh is starting in Campbell River and plans to roadtrip south to Nanaimo. And Maxime Bernier of the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Party continues his own trip to the West, spreading his populist message in Calgary after spending Wednesday in Vancouver.

Doctor growth more than doubles population in Canada DIRK MEISSNER

CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — The number of doctors in Canada is growing at a rate more than double that of the population, says a report by the Canadian Institute of Health Information. Canada’s population increased by 4.6 per cent between 2014 and 2018, while the number of physicians grew by 12.5 per cent over the same time period, says the report released Thursday. Manitoba and British Columbia registered the largest increases in doctors at more than 17 per cent each while Quebec had the lowest level of physician growth at 5.9 per cent, just below the 6.5 per cent growth in Nova Scotia. While the supply of doctors has grown faster than the population over the past dozen years, many Canadians continue to report difficulties finding a family physician, said Geoff Ballinger, the institute’s physician information manager. “The big question is why does there seem

to be this disconnect between the growing numbers of physicians and the fact that around the same proportion of Canadians are still having a challenge accessing physicians,’’ he said in a telephone interview from Ottawa. The Canadian Institute of Health Information is an independent, not-for-profit organization that works with governments and stakeholders to gather and provide information on policy, management, care and research. The report found that in 2018 there were almost 90,000 physicians in Canada, which is equivalent to 241 physicians per 100,000 population, the highest number per capita ever, said Ballinger. Statistics Canada figures from 2016 show 15.8 per cent of Canadians aged 12 and older, or about 4.8 million people, reported they didn’t have a regular health care provider. The figures show Quebec, at 25.6 per cent, had the highest proportion of residents who were without a

regular doctor, followed by Saskatchewan at 18.7 per cent and Alberta at 18 per cent. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau made an election promise earlier this week to ensure all Canadians have access to a family doctor. Ballinger said the higher figures were encouraging for patients looking for a regular physician. “The issue that we don’t have a handle on yet is whether those increased numbers of physicians are perhaps in parts of the province where the greatest need is,’’ he said. “We are seeing across the country that patients do have an issue trying to get access to a physician, particularly patients more in rural and remote areas.’’ Since 2014, the number of female doctors increased by 21 per cent, while male doctors rose seven per cent, Ballinger said. The report tracked doctor incomes and found total gross clinical payments through medical plans was $27.4 billion in 2017-2018, an increase of 3.9 per cent over the previous year,

Ballinger said. It concludes average

annual gross clinical payment for a doctor in

Canada was $345,000, ranging from $267,000

in Nova Scotia to $385,000 in Alberta.

GLOBAL VIEWS & NEWS

THE ASIAN JUSTIN TRUDEAU NAVIGATES TURMOIL

he news out of Indonesia this week is disturbing. In West Papua, the Indonesian-ruled half of the world’s secondbiggest island, New Guinea, the native people are definitely restive. About 1.8 million of them, 70 per cent of West Papua’s native population, signed a petition demanding the right to self-determination last year, and now much of the island is in revolt. It’s not only about independence. It is a protest against the racist contempt of many Indonesians for the ethically and culturally different native Papuans. Demonstrations began last month after videos circulated of Indonesian security forces calling protesting Papuan university students “monkeys,” “pigs” and “dogs.” On Monday, at least 27 people were killed in protests in two

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH West Papuan provincial capitals and the Indonesian government shut down the internet throughout the territory in an attempt to stop the flames of unrest from spreading. Meanwhile, 3,000 kilometres to the west in Jakarta, Indonesia’s megacity capital, people are protesting against a very different outrage. This one is legal. Official respect for civil and human rights in Indonesia has greatly improved since the overthrow of Suharto’s three-decade dictatorship in 1998. The current president, Joko Widodo

(“Jokowi” to one and all), is seen as a sort of Asian Justin Trudeau by his many admirers and he has just won a second five-year term in a free and fair election. And, suddenly, this. Last week, the Indonesian parliament was about to pass a revised version of the country’s criminal code after years of debate — and the public finally noticed it is a nightmare of prejudice and intolerance. Many people were aghast and the public protests began at once. The 628-article draft penal code demands a year in jail for extramarital or pre-marital sex — even for foreign tourists. If they didn’t actually catch you at it, just living together as a couple would still earn the guilty parties up to a half-year in prison. The new code criminalizes all same-sex activity and bans abortion, except in cases of rape or medical emergency (four years in jail for women who unlawfully terminate

their pregnancies). And forget freedom of the press: four years in jail for “insulting” the president, the vicepresident, parliament, religion, the national flag or the national anthem. The student-led protests spread all across Indonesia and, last week, Jokowi intervened. The outgoing parliament will not vote on the new code this week. Instead, the newly elected parliament will take it up again after it opens next month and he will ask it to review 14 controversial articles before it votes. But there is no apology from Jokowi for letting things get this far and certainly no acknowledgement from him that in West Papua, Indonesia is effectively a brutal colonial power. What happened to the good guy we thought we knew? It’s like pictures of a younger Trudeau in blackface. The disillusionment is extreme: Mr. Nice

Guy has feet of clay right up to his armpits. But no politician with aspirations to longevity can always be a good guy. West Papua, like Indonesia, was part of the Dutch East Indies, but the two had little in common. Very few native West Papuans are even Muslim, although Muslim immigrants from Indonesia now account for almost half the population. The people of West Papua wanted independence, but the United States thought it would be safer from Communism if it were ruled by an Indonesian dictator. So, in 1969, West Papua became part of Indonesia by a UN-sanctioned Act of Free Choice. That means the Indonesian army murdered about 30,000 West Papuans between 1962 and 1969, then rounded up 1,026 West Papuan men and held their families hostage. An Indonesian general told them that if they voted for

independence, their tongues would be ripped out — so they “voted” to be part of Indonesia. Indonesia has no just claim to West Papua and the vast majority of West Papuans want independence. But they are almost outnumbered by Indonesian immigrants now — and no Indonesian politician who refuses to condemn West Papuan separatism could survive. So Jokowi just keeps quiet when the subject comes up, and similarly with the criminal code. Indonesia used to practise an amiable, tolerant form of Islam, but decades of Saudi subsidies for the extreme and intolerant Wahhabi version of the faith have created a powerful activist minority that seeks to impose its values on everybody else by law. No politicians, including Jokowi, wanted to make themselves vulnerable to accusations of being

anti-Islam by opposing the new criminal code’s oppressive measures publicly while they were running for re-election. However, many politicians, probably including Jokowi, were hoping for public protests after the election — and the protests have duly occurred. Now it’s politically safe to intervene and the worst provisions of the new code will probably be dropped in due course. But that’s the reality of how politics works. Within the bounds of the possible, Jokowi is still a good guy. So is Trudeau, for that matter, although his wounds were selfinflicted. Basically still a good guy, although not nearly as smart as he thought he was.

At least two people have died in violent demonstrations across Indonesia by students protesting a new law that they say has crippled the country’s anticorruption agency, police said Thursday. A student suffered chest injuries and died when riot police fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse hundreds of rock-throwing students who were attempting to reach a legislative building in Kendari, the capital of Southeast Sulawesi province, local police spokesman Harry G. Hart said. Hart said doctors are determining the cause of death because police insisted they only use tear gas, batons and water cannons in dealing with student protests. Separately, National Police chief Tito Karnavian said a man collapsed and later died in Jakarta when riot police shot multiple rounds of tear gas at a mob which tried to set fire to a police post and several vehicles on Wednesday. Karnavian said the man was not a student and called him a rioter. The demonstrators are enraged that Parliament passed the law last week reducing the authority of the Corruption Eradication Commission, a key body fighting endemic graft in the country. They also oppose a bill creating a new criminal code that would criminalize or increase penalties on a variety of sexual activities. Wiranto, the co-ordinating minister for politics, law and security, accused unidentified “third parties’’ of taking control of the student protests with the intent of blocking reelected President Joko Widodo’s formal inauguration on Oct. 20. Wiranto, who uses a single name, did not provide any proof at a news conference that was also attended by Karnavian and military chief Hadi Tjahjanto. The protesters are demanding that Widodo issue a government regulation replacing the new law.

After Jimmy Rankin came home, he headed out on tour SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

his fall, Jimmy Rankin will mark 30 years since the first Rankin Family album. It’s an anniversary he will mark on the road as he crosses Canada once again. He’s done it so many times he’s lost count. But what he hasn’t lost is the feeling he gets when he heads out on stage — and he hasn’t lost some original Rankin Family fans, either, who still flock to the Nova Scotian singer-songwriter’s shows. “There’s always new fans — and old fans from the early Rankin Family days — and that still inspires me, and if it didn’t, I probably wouldn’t be out here,” he told KTW. Rankin will soon come to Kamloops as part of his Songs From Route 19 tour, which began on Sept. 20 in Highgate, Ont. “It’s always a bit gruelling because you’re driving, you’re flying, you’re in hotel rooms for six weeks and you’re away from your family and constantly trying to get a proper meal,” he said. But although the day-to-day can be tiring, Rankin said he still gets a lot out of being able to see parts of Canada he’s never seen before, and feels fortunate to be able to do what many Canadians can’t. “Even if I’m only in these places for a short time, I get to meet people and discover these places for myself,” he said. The Cape Breton Island musician is touring in support of his latest album, Moving East, named after something he recently did — moving from Nashville back to Cape Breton Island where he grew up and from which he drew inspiration for much of his music. “For me, coming back home and being in that environment, I’ve always found it really inspiring. There’s always a reference

MCDONALD PARK MURAL COMING ALONG Mural/A27

in my music to where I come from,” he said. Despite the fact that Rankin lived in Nashville for about seven years, those references did not recede. “I’ve been going to Nashville since the mid-’90s. I started going there with my siblings to make records and continued going there and made a few albums. It’s a music Mecca,” he said. Rankin said age — his own and his children’s — was a factor in returning to the East Coast island. But another factor was a chance to get back to his roots — something he says he’s done with Moving East. “Not that I’m equating myself, but a guy like Martin Scorsese, he makes movies about New York, his hometown. That’s what he knows. And Nova Scotia is what I know, and it’s what I’m comfortable with,” he said. Rankin might not equate himself with one of the best filmmakers of all time, but he certainly has his fair share of recognition. He was a big part of the success of The Rankin Family, but alone he’s amassed his own collection of awards, which includes five Juno Awards, 27 East Coast Music Awards, nine SOCAN Top Radio Play awards and seven Canadian Country Music Awards. The album has another East Coast connection — in fact, it has several. The album was produced by fellow musician Joel Plaskett at his studio in Dartmouth, N.S., and features other notable musicians from the area like fiddler Ashley MacIsaac, guitarist J.P. Cormier and pianist Hilda Chiasson. Catch Rankin here in Kamloops on Friday, Oct. 18, for a show at The Rex Hall, 417 Seymour St. at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30, available online at kamtix.ca.

Art aplenty as donations Stellar music lineup planned for Brewloops pour in for upcoming sale KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

he Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak put out a call earlier this year for donations of art and the response has proven better than anyone had expected. Beverly Warner, who is behind the Art from the Attic fundraiser, said she was absolutely thrilled with the response. Their goal was to reach 1,200 pieces of art, but Warner said she would have been happy with 1,000. They received a lot more than that. “We’re at 1,700 right now,” she said. Another surprise was the response from people outside of Kamloops. Rotary has received donations from people in Vancouver and Calgary, while Port Alberni is now planning its own Art from the Attic fundraiser after hearing of the one in Kamloops. There have also been a number of donations from the spouses and relatives of local artists who have passed away. With art pieces ranging in price from as little as

$10 to $700, there will be something for everyone. “We have phenomenal art at phenomenal prices,” Warner said.“If you ever said, I can’t afford art, now you can.” Doors will be open on Friday, Oct. 4, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturday, Oct. 5, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Cooper Centre, at Eighth Street and York Avenue in North Kamloops (the former Dirty Jersey/Bowlertime building). “It’ll be fun to walk around 5,000 square feet of art of every kind,” Warner said. Along with 1,700 pieces of art to check out, the Kamloops Centre for the Arts Society will have a table at the event, as will Art on the Move, which will be promoting its next fundraiser. The positive response to the event has extended even to volunteers, with people getting involved without any connection to Rotary, due to their interest in the event. “There are a lot of people in Kamloops who like art, support art,” Warner said. “I have made so many new friends from this project.”

This weekend’s Brewloops event will be accompanied by some top B.C. musical talent, featuring bands from all over B.C., Alberta and right here in Kamloops. The music will begin with a local act, Suz and Johnny’s Blues Band at 6 p.m. on the Ferris Wheel stage. Up next will be Wrecked Beach, a four-piece rock group out of Vancouver, who will play at 6:30 p.m. on the Bumper Car stage on Friday. Another local act will follow at 7:15 p.m. on the Ferris Wheel Stage. The Houses (Where We Grew Up) is an experimental rock duo made up of Sean Schneider and Rob Wikstrom. The band released its debut album, Dying, in February and followed up with a single, Killer, in August. Back on the Bumper Car Stage, progressive/indie rockers Bend Sinister will perform at 7:45 p.m. The Vancouver-based five-piece released their latest album, Foolish Games, in 2018. The night will wrap up with two Calgary bands on different stages. At 8:30 p.m., catch indie/folk duo

Yvette on the Ferris Wheel Stage and The Dudes on the Bumper Car stage at 9 p.m. On Saturday, things begin anew. Another six bands taking the festival’s dual stages, starting things off with Jaasjaaz at 6 p.m. on the Ferris Wheel stage. At 6:30 p.m. on the Bumper Car stage will be Kamloops band At Mission Dolores, which has been prolific in its musical production this year, releasing the eight-track Cool World in February and following up with another nine tracks on Last Night Outside Her Apartment in May. Next up will be another performance by Wrecked Beach at 7:15

p.m. on the Ferris Wheel Stage. At 7:45 p.m., Rich Hope will perform. The Vancouver-based barber and musician offers gritty blues-rock stylings, as featured on his latest full-length album, I’m All Yours, released in fall 2018. At 8:30 p.m., catch Kelownafounded but Victoria-based psychpop band Speak Easy on the Ferris Wheel stage. Finishing up the night will be The Zolas at 9 p.m. on the Bumper Car stage. The Vancouver indie rock band has released three fulllength albums over the past 10 years. Tickets are available online at brewloopsfest.ca.

More high honours for Hanks JONATHAN LANDRUM JR.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tegan and Sara included this photo of themselves along with their new memoir, High School.

Tegan and Sara’s High School is a raw, powerful memoir MIKE HOUSEHOLDER

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tegan and Sara’s dance-pop hit Closer concludes with a question. “All I want to know is: Can you come a little closer?” That query has been answered — at least for readers of the Canadian twins’ new memoir, High School. The Quin sisters’ look-back at their teenage years in 1990s Calgary is raw and powerful. Relying on journals, notes, photographs and, of course, their own memories and those of other principals, the authors’ richly detailed remembrances make you feel as though you’re a fellow student at Crescent Heights High. Readers will experience Tegan and Sara’s anguish as they grapple with their sexuality and their

wonder as they discover the joy of making music together. We now know them as awardwinning singer-songwriters and LGBTQ activists, but back then, they, like so many of us, were just looking to survive their adolescence. “In those first few months of high school, I learned to avert my eyes, to show them submission, to be a ghost,” Sara Quin writes in a chapter titled Grade-Ten Dirtbags. The Quins alternate authorship of the book’s 46 chapters, allowing readers to better understand each sister’s point of view as they navigate a winding road filled with drug consumption and mercurial relationships. We’re there when they combat homophobia in school and at home; flee from pipe-wielding

men; and begin a life-long love affair with music after discovering their stepfather’s guitar in storage under the stairs at their home. Dozens of personal photos appear throughout the book, and they are just as gritty and uncompromising as the prose. “Tegan high on acid in her bed,” one description reads. “Sara passed out drunk,” says another. Now 39, the mighty Quins have sold over a million records during their award-winning, twodecade music career. But near the close of the last century, they were a couple of kids trying to find their way. High School is not just a peek into their formative years. It’s a no-holds-barred origin story that takes readers not only closer to that world, but all the way inside.

LOS ANGELES — Tom Hanks became one of Hollywood’s beloved actors through an array of likable roles, from Big to Forrest Gump, and now his decorated career has earned him one of the highest honours at the Golden Globes next year. Hanks will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 5, 2020, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced Tuesday. The actor has won praise for a string of compelling characters in movies including Saving Private Ryan, the Toy Story films, and the Golden Globe-winning Cast Away, for which he lost 55 pounds to play a man stranded on a desert island. HFPA President Lorenzo Soria said in a statement that Hanks captivated audiences with “rich and playful characters.” He said the actor was also a force behind the camera as writer, producer and director. The DeMille Award is given annually to an “individual who has

made an incredible impact on the world of entertainment.” Past recipients include Jeff Bridges, Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Freeman, Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Barbra Streisand, Sidney Poitier and Lucille Ball. Hanks, 63, is a four-time Golden Globe winner who broke through with his role in the 1984 film Splash, in which he played a man who falls in love with a mermaid. He claimed his first Globe in 1988 for Big, in which he portrayed a 13-year-old boy whose body turned into a 35-year-old man overnight after making a wish. The actor won a couple Globes for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, two films that earned him Academy Awards. He was also lauded for his directing work in HBO’s 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers, which won an Emmy. Hanks will star as Mister Rogers in the biopic A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood in November. His other upcoming projects include the Second World War drama Greyhound, which he wrote; the post-apocalyptic BIOS; and the postCivil War film News of the World.

Law and Order makes TV history with 21st season MARK KENNEDY

NEW YORK — That familiar “chaCHUNG” sound effect from the opening credits of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit this Thursday will signal the debut of a new season and something else — TV history. The show’s 21st season launch makes it the longest running prime-time live-action series in U.S. TV history and will finally fulfil a goal that eluded show cre-

Twenty-five seasons, of course. “You keep pushing the goal posts back because you don’t get dealt these hands very often, obviously,” Wolf says. The Mariska Hargitay-led SVU now pulls out ahead of Gunsmoke and the original Law & Order, which are tied with 20. “Gunsmoke” still has more total number of episodes, while “The Simpsons,” an animated primetime series, exceeds them both.

Indulging in literary intoxication in Edinburgh MARGARET DEEFHOLTS

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

“

Literary Edinburgh is to ‘wurrdaholics’ what Scotch is to alcoholics,” our guide Angus says, his blue eyes twinkling, ‘tis intoxicating and addictive.” An observation that would likely have been echoed by the literary giants who lived and worked in Scotland’s most populous city. It’s been said that Edinburgh is as much a character as it is a city. It looks out at the world with eyes that have seen days of joy and nights of passion. Its face has been weathered by time and experience. It has carried on its shoulders the weight of its people’s history and traditions. Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott, J.M. Barrie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, all lived here and drew their inspiration from the adventurers who tarried here for a season, from the women who inspired them and the villains who skulked in dark corners of city byways. It has captured the imagination of contemporary novelists too — Ian Rankin’s Inspector Rebus hounds criminals who lurk in the murky depths of the city and although J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter tales aren’t set in Edinburgh, this is where she wrote and completed the series that took the world by storm. Along with guide Angus, I decide to walk in the footsteps of literary fame for a day, while exploring the Royal Mile — a historic street that runs from Hollyrood Palace to Edinburgh Castle; a road whose very stones resonate with tales of romance and intrigue. Small enclosures known as “closes” lead off the main street — each with their own stories, their own secrets.

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS PHOTO Tourists stop at Deacon Brodie’s Tavern to quaff a pint of ale and feast on fish and chips, just one of many must-see sites along the way to imbibing in Edinburgh’s literary charm.

In Anchor Close, I cock my ear trying to catch the clatter of a printer echoing down the centuries as the first edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica rolls off the presses. At Boswell’s Court Close, (now the Witchery restaurant) I wonder what Dr. Samuel Johnson would have chatted about while dining with his biographer James Boswell. Would Robbie Burns who once

lived in Baxter’s (Baker’s) Close have downed a wee dram or two at nearby Deacon Brodie’s tavern? And what mission was Daniel Defoe on when he worked as a secret agent for the British, in a room at Fishmarket Close? Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Robert Burns are literary icons. But what did they actually look like? To find out, we visit the Writers’

museum in the 17th century building known as Lady Stair’s House. The young Sir Walter, is softfeatured and dimple-chinned; Stevenson has a narrow, clever face, with a droopy moustache, and Robbie B. — ever the darling Scottish bard — is a dashing young dude. I see why his romantic dalliances set the ladies’ hearts a-flutter.

The museum is a treasure house of manuscripts, first editions and letters deserving of at least three hours browsing time. Among some bizarre, but true, oral tales set along the Royal Mile, is the story of Deacon Brodie who lived in Brodie’s Close. Brodie was, by day, a pious, well-respected citizen and city counsellor; by night, however, he was a womanizer, gambler and thief. “He was eventually caught, and given what you might call a suspended sentence,” says Angus. “That is, he was suspended from a hangman’s noose on the city’s gallows.” Deacon Brodie has however, achieved immortality. He was the inspiration for R.L. Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. With time whizzing by, I pay a quick visit to the Elephant Cafe, unimpressive but for its claim to fame as one of the places where Rowling wrote the early Harry Potter stories. It is filled with students and tourists and a noisy babble of conversation. Leaving the world of books aside for the moment, I pay a visit to an endearing hero — not a literary icon, but one who has captured the hearts of Edinburgh’s citizens for over a century — Greyfriars Bobby, the little Skye terrier that was inseparable from his master John Grey. After Grey’s death, the dog was often seen keeping vigil over his master’s grave at the Greyfriar’s Kirk yard for 14 years until his own death in 1872. Edinburgh’s vitality is like oxygen in the bloodstream, a rush of images, places, lives and dreams. It’s mesmerizing and compelling and just as Angus says, intoxicating and addictive.

Blazers resetting after rough start MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

alk about a buzzkill. The Kamloops Blazers lost on three consecutive nights last weekend to start the WHL season at 0-3, zapping a great deal of the electricity that whirred after a 7-0 pre-season. Nobody is panicking around Mark Recchi Way. It is, after all, only three games. “Our mindset is it’s time to get back to basics,” said Blazers’ head coach Shaun Clouston, who took the reins in the off-season. “It seems real early to be talking about that, but the latter part of our pre-season, the basics were real solid. We were working together. “It’s a completely different situation in the regular season. I think the emotion and the energy got us away from that a little bit. Not all the time, but just enough that we weren’t quite as effective.” The Blazers will play host to a pair of B.C. Division rivals this weekend, with the Kelowna Rockets (1-0) coming to town on Friday and Bowen Byram and the Vancouver Giants (2-0) arriving on Saturday for 7 p.m. starts at Sandman Centre. Kamloops fell 4-3 last Friday to visiting Spokane, 4-1 last Saturday to the T-Birds in Seattle and 4-3 last Sunday to the hometown Portland Winterhawks. The feeling in the Blazers’ dressing room is they played well enough to win at least a pair of those contests. “Not the results we wanted,” said Blazers’ starting goaltender Dylan Garand, the 17-year-old Victoria product. “Not what we were expecting, but we were in all of them. “Our mindset right now is keeping positive, learning from those games, taking away things that we can from them and just trying to get better this week and, hopefully, things go better this weekend.” Garand played against Spokane and Seattle, finishing the weekend with a .887 save percentage. Backup Rayce Ramsay, 18, allowed four goals on 32 shots against Portland. “We gave up some bad goals, but not from a goaltending standpoint, from a structure standpoint,” Clouston said. “We can’t fault our goalies in any of our losses. They want to improve, but we’re not putting the games on them, that’s for sure.” Added Garand: “It’s not the way that any of us wanted to start. For me, personally,

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Logan Stankoven (right) has three points after three games this season, but his Kamloops Blazers are 0-3. They dropped their home opener 4-3 to Spokane last Friday, but get another chance to wow the home crowd on Friday, when the Kelowna Rockets come to town. “Looking forward to playing at home again, another opportunity to not let the emotion of the moment get the best of us,” Blazers’ head coach Shaun Clouston said. “I think it got the best of us a little bit in Game 1.”

as well. I’m just using that as motivation, working harder in practices, learning what I could have done better in the games is really what I can use.” The Blazers spent time working on the power play this week in practice. Kamloops was 2-for-15 last weekend with the man advantage. “Teams are structured and work very hard on the kill,” Clouston said. “I don’t think we moved the puck quick enough. Our breakouts and entries are good.” Bad starts have too often plagued the Blazers in recent years. They don’t want to play catch up down the stretch this season. They are a long way from having to worry about that, but there does seem to be a sense of urgency to stop this skid in a hurry. Said Garand: “It’s very important. It’s big to get at least the first win under the belt, for sure.”

Kamloops was fifth in the CHL’s opening top-10 rankings last week. They were punted from the list and absent from the honourable-mention section in Week 2. The early-season adversity is a good test, said the Blazers’ new captain, Zane Franklin. “I just said it’s good to get those games out of the way,” said Franklin, the 20-yearold forward from Marwayne, Alta. “You’re bound to have a few of them. We’ve gone from the ups to the lows pretty fast. “But we’ve learned from them and, even though we lost, there were good things to take out of them.” PLAYING FOR PARKCREST Buying a 50/50 ticket at Friday’s game will go a long way to helping students impacted by the Parkcrest elementary fire earlier this month. Net proceeds from the draw will be used

to purchase new sports equipment for students. Facing off in their second home game of the 2019-2020 season, the Blazers and BC Lottery Corporation will also be hosting 1,000 students, staff and parents of the school at the game. MAKING A DEAL The Blazers have made a significant trade. Kamloops (0-3) on Wednesday traded for Saskatoon Blades’ forward Ryan Hughes, a 20-year-old who will fill the third overage spot on the roster. Going to Saskatoon are the rights to 18-year-old listed forward Jerzy Orchard, a third-round pick in the 2022 WHL Bantam Draft and a second-round pick in the 2023 WHL Bantam Draft.

Perhaps palatable were stale snacks that landed on tray tables belonging briefly to the TRU WolfPack women on their flights home from Winnipeg. Victory tastes sweet and is capable of adding flavour to even the most godforsaken pretzel, especially when the craving consumer is starved for success. The WolfPack (1-41) earned a 2-1 win over the hometown Winnipeg Wesmen (1-5) last Saturday, their first triumph of the Canada West campaign. “We definitely needed that first win to get us started,” said third-year forward Shae Fuoco, the Kamloops product whose first goal of the season was Saturday’s matchwinner. “I know that we really wanted to win the Manitoba game, but we just couldn’t do that.” The Manitoba Bisons (3-3) blanked the visting WolfPack 4-0 last Friday. TRU was 3-9-2 last year and has only once qualified for the Canada West postseason since joining U Sports in 2014. First-year head coach Mark Pennington, who took the reins in February, has been preaching process, expounding a message of patience to anyone who will listen. Still, a burden was lifted on Saturday. “Yeah, it felt good,” said Pennington. “It definitely felt like there was a little bit of pressure off. I didn’t want to go through my first season without a win, obviously. “But this isn’t about

me. That’s the program’s first win on the road, I think, in two years. It came probably a little bit later than we wanted, but we’ll take it.” Rookie goalkeeper Mae Hobenshield of Port Coquitlam showed well in the pre-season, but waited five games for her first start between the pipes. She made 11 saves to secure a debut Canada West win in relief of thirdyear starter Danielle Robertson, the Courtenay keeper who was rested while recovering from injury. “I was just really focused on getting my technique down and making sure everything was solid, so that when the time did come, I’d be ready for it,” Hobenshield said. “It went pretty well. I made a key stop. The goal I could have gotten a hand to, but some slip by. The win was key to get our morale up. We were down in the dumps about losing the day before.” Competition stiffens this weekend, when the Calgary Dinos (5-0-1) and UNBC Timberwolves (3-1-2) of Prince George come to town on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Kickoff is noon both days at Hillside Stadium. One win and a few airplane snacks only served to increase hunger. Maybe even greed. “You got to choose — cookies or pretzels,” said fifth-year defender Natalie Verdiel of Powell River. “One of our girls said, ‘Sure,’ and they gave her both. “Hopefully, we can build on this win and get ready for this coming weekend and get some more.”

Circumstances are not exactly the same, but there are similarities to 2018, when the TRU WolfPack men’s soccer team underachieved throughout the first half of the Canada West campaign. In house, they believed better things were ahead of the 2-6-2 start and results proved them right, a six-match unbeaten streak that led to Canada West bronze. The 2019 WolfPack, ranked fourth in the conference in a preseason coaches’ poll, are 2-2-4 and sit tied for fourth in the Pacific Division. The top four teams in the division will qualify for the playoffs. “We’re still trying to find our identity,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov said. “Probably we may have underestimated all the new players that were coming in and the change.” More than 10 new faces joined the Pack in time for the 2019 season, many of whom were touted by the club as having impressive pedigree. “Quality players, no question, but still it’s taking that little bit of time for them to gel and mix,” Antulov said. Eight regular-season matches remain on TRU’s schedule. The gelling and mixing needs to happen sooner than later. Fifth-year forward Justin Donaldson of Kamloops said his squad’s 3-1 dispatching of the hometown

Do not leave your wallet in your vehicle On Friday, Sept. 6, a vehicle was broken into and a wallet inside was stolen. Later, credit cards from the stolen wallet were used at local stores. The suspect, a white man, was wearing a black Crooks & Castles hoodie, a white ball cap, plaid skater shorts and sunglasses. He was carrying a backpack.

And take your purse with you, too! ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW TRU WolfPack midfielder Steffen Masaites launches a throw-in earlier this season at Hillside Stadium.

Lethbridge Pronghorns (0-7-2) last Sunday was a congealing moment. “This past weekend was a really big stepping stone for us,” said Donaldson, who has one goal and two assists in seven games. “We dug ourselves a hole and kind of fought back that second half to give us that win.” The Mount Royal Cougars (7-2) edged TRU 2-1 in Calgary last Saturday, but Antulov said the defeat came despite his team’s best performance of the season. Injuries and sickness have limited progress of newcomers Stefan Kamner of Port Moody, Jayson Millin of Port Moody and Cole Rosenlund of

Port Coquitlam. Daniel Sagno of Winnipeg and Marco Favaro of Vancouver, also new to the club this season, are starting to find their stride, Antulov said. Two home matches this weekend — against Trinity Western (4-4) of Langley on Saturday and Fraser Valley (3-3-3) of Abbotsford on Sunday, both 2 p.m. starts at Hillside Stadium — provide the next opportunities for coagulation. “It’s not quite as severe as last year, but we need to take it as that way,” Donaldson said. “Going forward, we have a different mindset, knowing that every game really counts.”

slated for 11:15 a.m. Kamloops and the Axemen, a club

based in the Sea to Sky corridor, between Squamish and Whistler, will scrum down in men’s secondand third-division play. The thirds will clash at 12:45 p.m., with the seconds to follow at 2:30 p.m.

Broncos set sights on hometown Huskers in BCFC basement battle MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

They do not want to finish 0-10. The Kamloops Broncos likely have to win on Saturday against the Valley Huskers in Chilliwack to avoid that fate, a second-consecutive winless campaign. Kamloops (0-7) is in the B.C. Football Conference basement and the only team it can catch is Valley, which dropped to 1-6 after a 40-0 drubbing at the hands of the Okanagan Sun last Sunday in Kelowna. The Westshore Rebels, second in the BCFC at 5-2, will play host to the Broncos on Oct. 5 in Langford. Kamloops will break for Thanksgiving before capping its season with a road tilt against the undefeated Langley Rams (7-0) on Oct. 19. “The kids have been up for every game,” Broncos’ head coach Rob Ellis said. “There hasn’t been a game they haven’t been excited about.” That may be true, but this weekend’s tilt has been circled on the calendar since the Huskers shucked the Broncos 47-35 at Hillside Stadium on Aug. 24. “That’s a game we’re definitely looking forward to,” fifth-year Bronco Mixon Madland, a Kamloops product, told KTW in September. They have been looking forward

to it, most likely, because it represents their last best chance to get off the schneid. The Broncos have kept scorelines close in the first half in most of their games this season. “I think I’ve said this in every other interview,” Ellis said. “We’re tight to the half, a couple things go wrong, a mistake here and there, and the game gets away from us.” The Vancouver Island Raiders (4-3) of Nanaimo received a test last weekend at Hillside Stadium, at which the Broncos, playing their final home game of the season, did not allow the opposition to run away in a 30-9 defeat. “It’s just getting that offence going,” Ellis said. “We graduate two players this year. Everybody else is around 19. A couple of our starters are 18. We’re just so young.” Madland, the 22-year-old South Kamloops secondary graduate, is not asking for much in his swan-song season — he just wants a win. “It sounds lame to say it, but a win would almost be the playoffs for me,” Madland said. That win would also give the Broncos reason to contact Blake Roberts, the former BCFC executive and current Canadian Junior Football League podcaster who guaranteed an 0-10 finish for Kamloops. If it’s going to happen, it probably needs to happen this Saturday.

BIBLE IS THE BEST BOOK FOR MANY REASONS

he story of Ivan Panin, who was born in Russia on Dec. 12, 1855, is interesting. He grew up as a nihilist, which is someone who generally rejects the common view of morality and belief in God. He was involved in plots to overthrow the czar and his government. He died in Aldershot, Ont., on Oct. 30, 1942, at the age of 87. Panin was an agnostic who was exiled from Russia, studied in Germany for a number of years and eventually moved to the U.S., where he became a literary critic. In 1890, Panin was reading the first chapter of John, verse one, where we read: “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.”

JOHN EGGERS You Gotta Have FAITH Panin wondered why in the original Greek the definite article “the” was before the first title “God”, but not in the second title of “God.” He then noticed the words of this verse had a numeric pattern. In the Greek language, the number system is in the Greek alphabet. In other words, in Greek, different letters have different numeric values. The same holds true for the Hebrew lan-

guage, which has its number system in the Hebrew alphabet. In the New Testament, the original text was written in Greek and the original text in the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and a small amount in Aramaic. Panin’s studies of the prolific numeric patterns found in the Bible soon convinced him that the hand of God must be recognized in His word. The agnostic Panin then trusted the Lord Jesus as his own personal saviour. History tells us that newspapers of the day carried headlines of Panin’s conversion to Christ. He then devoted the next 50 years of his life to the study and recording of these patterns. According to the Guinness World Records, the Bible is the best-selling

book of all time, with more than five-billion copies sold and distributed as of this year. The statistics are staggering concerning this book of books. It is no wonder, though, because the Bible is the word of God and the message it contains for humankind is, according to its pages, the only hope for humanity beyond the grave. Acts 4:12 states: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” There have been many attacks against the Bible throughout history, it has withstood them all. The Bible will continue to withstand the opposition as God has promised its perpetuity (Psalm 12:6, 7; 1st Peter 1:25). On a personal

note, since trusting the Lord Jesus as my own personal saviour in mid-February 1977, there have been numerous times in which the scriptures have been a great help to me. In many varied circumstances, the Bible brought me through difficulties. One such difficulty is a recent one with my health. After four years of seeing doctors and specialists, they have settled on a positive diagnosis. One morning in early 2017, at 2 a.m., I was up and prayed for help from the Lord. I opened my Bible and read the

Book of Joel in the Old Testament. My thought was there would not likely be any help in that little book. I needed some encouragement, so I kept reading. Not until chapter 3, verse 10 did I find the help for which I was looking. The end of the verse states: “Let the weak say, I am strong.” I thanked the Lord and went back to sleep trusting things were in His hands. The Bible is a living book and speaks to our hearts if we let it. Read through the Gospel of John, where you will find the greatest love story of

Mom’s memory will be cherished by her five children Ralph (Anne) Brockie, Wayne (Ona) Brockie, David Brockie, Darlene (Mike) Moonen, John (Billie Jo) Brockie and an abundance of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews whom she loved to spend time with. Lola was born in Westlock, Alberta to Andrew and Sadie Smith. She had fond memories of working in the fields with her father and siblings on the family farm. She was one of nine children and leaves behind three surviving sisters Edna Anhorn, Rosa Still and Mona Lyons. Mom married our father Ian Brockie and moved to Edmonton. There she worked with her sister Edna at a furrier before training to become an occupational therapist at the Royal Alexander Hospital in Edmonton. She eventually retired to Peachland, BC where she raised a vast variety of both inside and outside birds. She then relocated to spend her retirement years in Victoria, BC. Mom thrived in Victoria. She had so many interests and hobbies, including bird watching, hiking, line dancing and crafts. So

many hours she spent in what we called “Lola’s sweatshop” because she would cut and sew tirelessly. At 80 years old, she was still setting crab traps, shrimping and clam digging all around Vancouver Island. She walked miles and miles daily and did all kinds of volunteer work. When mom’s health declined, she moved to Kamloops and was lovingly cared for in both Overlander Extended Care and Kamloops Seniors Village. We can’t say enough about the many angels who dedicate their careers to caring for our elderly family members. Mom loved her Dairy Queen treats and whenever anyone came to visit, they knew to bring ice cream. At our mother’s request there will be no service and the family will have a private gathering at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please take the time to go for a walk, or a hike, and really take in the nature that is all around us.

Tim Cook offers a history of working in funeral service as a funeral director and embalmer for over 24 years. Tim’s favourite past times includes spending time with family and friends along with fishing and time at the lake. Tim was born in Saskatchewan and has spent the last 48 years in Kamloops, which has allowed him to develop a large network of friends and a great sense of community.

Lorah Rose (Green) Read (née Worsfold) Lorah slipped away in the wee hours of Sunday, September 22, 2019 at the Overlander long-term care facility in Kamloops, BC at the age of 89 years. She is survived by her daughters Mary Ann (Don) Grummett, Diane (David) Easton, Brenda (Don) Rhainds, honorary daughter Sandy (Neil) Kirkwood, grandchildren Carrie-Ann (Kevin), Jennipher (Jay), Jamélia (Ross), Danie (Jennifer), Kathryn (Avery), Sam (Eric), Jenelle (Davis) and Pam (Trent), nine great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends, including life-long friend, Muriel Moore and Jack Glover. She was predeceased by husbands Jim Green in 1983 and Aylmer Read in 2007, three sisters and five brothers. Born and raised in Kamloops in 1930, Lorah was one of nine children in the Worsfold home. She attended the Fruitlands School and graduated from Kamloops High School. Lorah was full of spirit and loved people. In her youth, she gathered with a group of girls in her backyard shed (clubhouse) and they formed ‘The Luscious Loons’. In those carefree days they rode their bicycles all over Kamloops and hiked the local hills. Her first job was at Dalgleish’s Dept. store. It was there that she met Jim Green and they were married in 1950. They had three daughters which she always identified as, ‘My Three Angels’. Lorah was a glamorous woman who loved to dress well. She celebrated every occasion. An event didn’t pass without at least a table centerpiece that matched. She had many talents. She sewed and knit for herself and her children. She made and decorated every birthday cake and could create elaborate wedding cakes. She knew how to put the finishing touches on everything! If she promised to make something for you, she would deliver, even if that meant staying up all night. Outside of her home, she was actively involved at St. George’s Anglican Church, was a Charter member of the North Kamloops Lions Club with Jim,

and followed in her mother’s footsteps along with her sister, as a member of the Order of the Eastern Star - Adah Chapter No.16 Lorah was mischievous, full of character and loved to have fun! She never missed an April fool’s day without a prank and loved to dress up at Halloween. She had the opportunity to enjoy many vacations in the sun and sand! As a career woman, she supported Jim and his brothers with their flooring, drapery & paint business by doing the bookkeeping at Archie Green Ltd. until his early death in 1983. A few years later Lorah found happiness and compatibility with her neighbor Aylmer Read who was also widowed. They were married in 1986 and enjoyed the first couple of years travelling to visit their children and grandchildren. While on one of their journeys, they were tragically injured in an accident. Being such a strong woman with an amazing positive attitude and a love of life she rallied and carried on. Aylmer and Lorah continued to have another 19 years, working together to compensate for each other’s limitations. He passed away in 2007. Lorah continued on her own with the assistance and loving care at Bedford Manor. She was often seated in the dining area playing solitaire or scratching her lotto tickets, always hoping for a big win! She made a point of remembering everyone’s name so that she could greet them personally and would always include a wave and a big smile. Her final year was spent at Overlander when her needs increased. We are so thankful for the care and compassion that was shown to her by the staff of Orchard Grove and by Dr. Wynne.

Violet Gray (née Johnston) December 3, 1929 - September 15, 2019

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.

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), Brad Harrison, 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. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

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’.

Celebration of Life Denny Pearson May 11, 1945 – July 21, 2019

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. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Please join us to share stories and remember a life lived to the fullest. The Celebration of Life will be held in the home of Bill and Mary Pearson. Open House on Saturday, October 5, 2019. Between 1:00 and 4:00 pm. Casual attire. Refreshments will be served. For location, please e-mail DennyRemembered@gmail.com
