CITY COUNCIL ROOKIES AT ONE YEAR

ne year ago this Sunday, Kamloops residents elected a new city council, including four fresh faces. Councillors Dale Bass, Sadie Hunter, Mike O’Reilly and Bill Sarai saddled up for the first time around the horseshoe at city hall and just shy of half of council (four of nine) was new. One year in, KTW caught up with the rookie councillors to have them look back at the year that was, discuss what they have learned and what surprised them, reflect on campaign promises and ponder whether they will seek reelection in 2022. DALE BASS As someone who had been deadline-driven all of her life before she retired from journalism to pursue municipal politics, Dale Bass said it has been difficult adjusting to the slow-turning cogs of government. Whereas she would previously ask a question and get an answer immediately, Bass said she has learned DALE BASS that something like her proposed single-use plastic bag ban bylaw takes a “phenomenal” amount of work from administration. “It takes a lot of time to get things done,”

Bass said as she reflected on the past year. During the 2018 campaign, the Dallas resident advocated for a ward system. Asked whether she still favours that, she said she does, but will not bring the issue forward for consideration at this point — citing a lack of desire for that change by others. She pointed to residents calling her from Dallas and Barnhartvale, and Brocklehurst residents reaching out to Coun. Bill Sarai as a sign the system is moving in that direction, with councillors in de facto ward roles in their neighbourhoods. Looking ahead, she plans to run again in 2022 and would like to see the city’s list of sidewalks dealt with in the next few years. Bass said she would also like to see council and administration focus on outlying areas of the city, such as Brocklehurst, Rayleigh, Heffley Creek, Barnhartvale and Dallas. “Focusing on them, thinking about them, not viewing them as sprawl, but viewing them as part of the city,” she said. SADIE HUNTER: Sadie Hunter called her first year “very full,” with much to be learned. Understanding the role and responsibilities of a councillor, she said, is different than doing the job. For example, the

Community Charter — which provides the legal and policy framework for how communities function in B.C. — has significant scope. “It’s something you’re aware of, but the extent of it is maybe hard to gauge from the outside until you’re on the ground and trying to apply it to everyday decisions,” Hunter said. This year, Hunter left her job as director of development for the faculty of science and school of nursing at Thompson Rivers University. She said she did not leave due to council commitments, but for a variety of reasons, including personal. She started her own writing and editing consulting business, and continues to do contract work for the university. During the 2018 campaign, Hunter advocated for a more accessible city. She recently spearheaded a push for staff to bring forward projects for consideration, as part of the city’s five-year financial plan. She said she was encouraged by the motion passing unanimously. Another idea Hunter pushed during the election was transit passes offered on a sliding scale, based on income. The city just launched a pilot program, offering reduced fare bus passes to low-income residents and Hunter said she would like to see that program expanded and better promoted in the future.

PARK YOUR CAR & GO BY BIKE

You and your Halloween pumpkins are invited to Kamloops’ first-ever Pumpkin Smash 10:00 am–2:00 pm on Saturday, November 2, at the parking lot for McArthur Island soccer fields 1 and 2.

During GoByBike Weeks, from October 21 to November 3, park your car and grab your bike for your chance to win great prizes! This BC-wide event builds on the momentum of the popular springtime Bike to Work Week event and encourages people to stay active all year long.

Participants will be able to drop, smash, and roll their jack-o’-lanterns during this free, family-friendly event that promotes composting pumpkins after Halloween. Bring your largest pumpkin to drop from a great height and watch it smash. Stick around for a big drop by Kamloops Fire Rescue at 1:00 pm! Note: Minimum child height to participate in the pumpkin drop is four feet. Preregistration for the free Pumpkin Smash is preferred. Register through Kamloops.ca/PerfectMind by using the search term “pumpkin smash”. Can’t make it to the event? Did you know it’s free to compost your pumpkins at all City compost sites? Learn more at: Kamloops.ca/Compost

Residents are invited to visit BikeToWork.ca to register. All registered Kamloops riders are eligible to win a Trek Marlin 5 bike from Spoke N’ Motion! In addition, participants across BC will have the chance to win a trip for two to the Baltics, sponsored by Exodus Travels. Prize winners must be 19 years of age or older. In recognition of the event, the City will be reimburising individuals for the cost of any City programs or activities they go to by bike during the two-week event. For a full list of eligible programming and event details, visit: Kamloops.ca/GoByBike

The City has identified initiatives as part of the Downtown Transportation Choices Strategy by engaging with stakeholders and the public earlier this year. The strategy includes ambitious but realistic programming and education, and it will promote actions to assist residents with adapting to a lifestyle of more transportation choices and less reliance on the private automobile for their travel to and within the Downtown. You’re invited to review and provide feedback on the draft short-, medium-, and long-term initiatives identified for the Downtown Transportation Choices Strategy. Your level of support and feedback will be helpful as we continue to move towards the development of the final draft of the Downtown Transportation Choices Strategy to present to Council.

LOCAL NEWS A stolen pickup truck is destroyed by flames after its driver crashed through a fence and ended up in a field alongside Westsyde Road, north of The Dunes golf course. The owner of the truck had earlier jumped onto the flatbed of the vehicle when he spotted his pilfered ride in Brocklehurst. Fortunately for the owner, he was uninjured in the crash. Two people in the cab of the truck suffered nonlife-threatening injuries. Charges are pending. JOLENE ANDERSON/FACEBOOK

Truck owner held on for dear life as his stolen truck burst into flames TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man who was taken on a bizarre and wild ride through Westsyde on Wednesday after attempting to reclaim his stolen truck says he does not regret taking matters into his own hands. Francis Payette told KTW his pickup truck — a flatbed he uses for work in logging — was stolen from outside his Rayleigh home late last week. Payette reported the theft to police and posted photos of the distinctive vehicle on Facebook. His social media work paid off on Wednesday. “My buddy phoned me and said, ‘Francis, I think I just saw your truck,’” Payette said. “I said, ‘Are you sure?’ I was out in Rayleigh having lunch. It was about noontime. He said, ‘Yeah, that’s your truck.’ I said, ‘OK, I’m on my way.’” Payette said he arrived

to find the truck parked in a lot near Chances Casino in Brocklehurst, with two people inside. “I knocked on the window and I said, ‘Get out of my car now — immediately,’” Payette said, noting a woman was behind the steering wheel and a man sat in the passenger seat. “I could hear her putting the thing in gear and I was like, ‘What do you do? Let them drive away?’ I was like, ‘No, I’m going to stop them’ — and I did stop them.” Eventually. Payette said he immediately grabbed onto a rack on the back of the cab of his truck and held on. “I could hear him yelling, ‘Get him off! Get him off!’” Payette said, noting the driver then appeared to take deliberate aim at a hydro pole. “I could see it coming, so I ducked down so I wouldn’t get thrown, because that’s how you

get hurt. I get up and look and she’d cracked the pole in half and there’s wires coming down and transformers. “Then she puts it in reverse and fires it up again and starts heading down the road some more.” Payette said what followed was something of a 20-kilometre demolition derby, with the truck reaching speeds in excess of 100 km/h. “She’s hitting cars, she’s going through traffic, she’s trying to get me off — but she didn’t get me off,” he said, noting the passenger began attacking him with pepper spray. “I just wanted my truck back,” he said. Passersby posted on social media, reporting that the man in the flatbed of the truck — Payette — was swinging a chain at the driver in an attempt to stop the vehicle.

Looking ahead to the next three years on city council, Hunter said she is eager to hear proposals from staff on accessibility projects, noting she will continue to advocate for improvements. Hunter is also awaiting the city’s proposed climate action plan, which is expected before the end of the year. So, will she run again in 2022? It’s too early to say, but Hunter said she doesn’t see any reason why she won’t. “Regardless of what happens, it’s definitely probably the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done,” she said. MIKE O’REILLY: One year in, Coun. Mike O’Reilly is juggling the responsibilities of being a new dad, a business owner and a city councillor, which he described as having three part-time jobs that require full-time MIKE O’REILLY availability. As a result, he had to make a difficult decision this year to cancel an extracurricular trip to the Hill 70 memorial in France, where First World War Kamloops soldier Frederick Lee was honoured. However, O’Reilly noted he has not missed a single council or committee meeting, something for which he is proud. He also liked the list of items approved by city council during his first year. “When things are coming to the table, we are working,” O’Reilly said. “We’re not just voting a yes to what’s in front of us. We are negotiating and debating

back and fourth, making amendments to motions. “But, at the end of the day, we’re getting to a point where enough people feel comfortable approving, rather than just putting up a block and saying no. We are working on each issue.” O’Reilly advocated during the election campaign to remove red tape, promote development and support the business community. Asked what he has done with respect to those issues, he said he pushed to roll back a parking fee increase, which would have resulted in the costs of parking downtown rising. The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association spoke out against the move and O’Reilly brought forward a notice of motion to revert fees to 2018 levels, with four council colleagues backing him. The biggest issue now on his radar is a commercial tax exemption for the North Shore and downtown. Over the next three years, O’Reilly hopes to continue to keep the city affordable for residents. Asked if he will run again in three years, he said, at this point, he will. “Being elected has been an absolute honour and it’s something I’m very proud to do,” O’Reilly said. “It’s the highest level I can serve the city.” BILL SARAI: Bill Sarai called his first year on council an “eye-opener,” with many moving pieces at city hall. “I’ve enjoyed it immensely,” Sarai said. “It’s a real eye-opener to see the city run.

“It’s a big business. Our customers are our residents. We try to do the best we can with the information we are given and the budget we have.” What has surprised him is the multitude of events to which city councillors are invited and just how big Kamloops is outside of his own personal interests, with volunteers across the city promoting interests, from Girl Guides to veterans and the arts community. “It’s something I’m very proud to say I’m part of Kamloops,” Sarai said of the city’s volunteer spirit. Looking back at issues Sarai championed during the 2018 campaign — better snow removal, work on potholes and tackling crime — he said he supported the purchase of a new piece of snow-removal equipment and formed a block watch group to address the citywide issue of property crime. However, he added, crime is more complex than he initially thought, with no magic fix. “This whole issue of property crime, drug addiction and homelessness, it’s got to be addressed by a bigger body than a city councillor,” Sarai said, citing a lack of resources put into recovery beds and detox. “There’s only so much we can do.” Sarai retired from Canada Post in April, which he said has made it easier to concentrate on city issues. He said he has increased flexibility to attend as many events as possible. During the next three years, he wants to remind residents they have a voice at the table in him and he hopes to continue learning. Will he run again in three years time? “At this point, I think I will,” Sarai said. “I’m really enjoying the role.”

He would do it again From A5

Payette said the truck’s motor died and it caught fire after it crashed through a fence and wound up in a field off Clarke Road, near Jamieson Creek Road, north of Westsyde. Kamloops Mounties said two suspects were arrested and taken to hospital, where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Payette was not injured in the incident and police have since warned members of the public to be careful when dealing with potential criminals. “We’re very thankful that there were no serious injuries to anyone involved in this situation,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. “We suggest that the public contacts the police if they witness a stolen vehicle being driven. Luckily, the owner was not injured, but it could have been a very different outcome.” Payette said he felt he had no choice but to take the law into his own hands. “We have to stop them,” he said. “The cops said to me, when I called last week, 25 vehicles go missing every day in Kamloops. We’re not doing anything to stop them. We’re enabling them. Our system is not set up to stop them.” Payette said he was not satisfied

with the work of police since his truck was stolen — and that opinion did not change after Wednesday’s incident. Last week, Payette said, he was cautioned by police against transferring insurance from his stolen truck to another vehicle. After the truck went up in flames on Wednesday, he said, police were hesitant to attempt to put the fire out. “They just said, ‘Let it burn, it will be OK,’” Payette said. “I said, ‘No, it’s not insured. Get your fire extinguishers out.’” Shelkie said the incident could have played out differently had police had been notified immediately. “If the friend who had seen the stolen vehicle in the first instance had called police, it could have been a very different situation,” she said. “Perhaps we could have stopped it before it hit a power pole, hit three other vehicles and then crashed through a fence and caught fire. “Things could have been different. There could have been different circumstances that happened. Luckily, it worked out fairly well in that there were no serious injuries.” Payette said he would do it again if faced with the same circumstances. “We have no choice,” he said. “It took two rednecks to catch these guys.”

TAKE A MOMENT AND VOTE ON OCT. 21

he good news: voter turnout in Canada’s last two federal elections has climbed from a historic low in 2008. The bad news: in the last federal election, in 2015, still only 68.3 per cent of eligible voters took the time to head to the ballot box. In 2008, voter participation in Canada hit an all-time low of just 58.8 per cent. That climbed in 2011 to 61.1 per cent, then hit 68.3 per cent in 2015. While the number of people getting out to vote is trending in the right direction, those numbers are not something to inspire complacence. Think about it — even in 2015, more than 30 per cent of Canadians didn’t cast a ballot. Those ages 65 to 74 were most likely to vote, at 78.8 per cent. The least likely to vote? Young people: just 57.1 per cent of those 18 to 24 cast a ballot four years ago. Elections Canada tells us this pattern of voting has been the same in every general election since 2004. We can only hope that with youth taking the lead in climate change protests, more will head to their local polling place this year when they have the chance to vote on who will lead this country. In Canada, we have many different parties and independents from which to choose, with different platforms and outlooks. The system is far from perfect, but we do have choices. Most of us will walk into our voting place on Monday and be able to cast our ballot quickly and without difficulty. There are always a few exceptions of people who hit snags, or particularly busy polling places where the wait time is longer, but we do not have to travel for days to a polling place, line up for several more days and risk violence for the right to cast a ballot. We also have the assurance our votes will be tallied fairly, giving us results we can trust, if not always like. That’s not the case in many places in the world, where corruption runs rampant. There are many important issues at stake in this federal election. Even if you only care about one of them, that’s a compelling reason to get out and vote. It will only take a minute.

And the winner is . . .

iberal candidate Terry Lake will win Monday’s election because strategic NDP voters will cast ballots for him in a bid to deny the Conservatives the seat in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo. Wait a minute: Green candidate Iain Currie will prevail on Monday as his campaign has been the most vocal, has raised loads of cash and he leads all candidates in Facebook “likes.” Hold it right there: Conservative candidate Cathy McLeod will defend her seat the same way she did in the 2015 election — by squeezing up the middle and benefitting from strong vote tallies by her Liberal and Green opponents. Back up and listen: NDP candidate Cynthia Egli will channel the political ghost of Nelson Riis and that spectre, along with the impressive rise of party leader Jagmeet Singh nationally, will return the riding to the New Democrats for the first time in two decades. Stop talking and pay attention: Ken Finlayson of the People’s Party of Canada will ride to victory on the populist vote, primarily because he told KTW he is in to win, not simply to place well. If you have been hanging out in coffee shops, barber shops and pubs — and on various social media channels — you are excused for feeling confused on the eve of the 43rd federal election.

MUSINGS by the serious and the dreamers. About the only two candidates who have not been picked to emerge as our next MP on Monday night are Peter Kerek of the Communist Party and Kira Cheeseborough of the Animal Protection Party. And that’s a shame because they impressed me the most during last week’s all-candidates’ forum at Thompson Rivers University. If the pair did well enough to play spoiler, it could be seen as a victory, but it is doubtful their vote totals combined would be enough to alter the end result. However, in lieu of a ridingspecific poll (and, even if there emerges a poll in the final days of the campaign, recent elections have largely laid waste to polling’s accuracy), we have speculation through the roof. It truly is a political nerd’s heaven, with debates ongoing regarding the myriad political calculations needed to send a particular candidate to Ottawa. If supporters of candidate X

actually vote for candidate Z, thereby depriving candidate Y of crucial votes, candidate W will win the election, unless, of course, enough supporters of candidate Y decide to vote for candidates X and Z, and only if Mercury is in retrograde while Jupiter is in sextile with Neptune, 12 days shy of the 45th anniversary of the Kansas City Scouts’ first road victory. Despite the constant cacophony (that will mercifully die down in a few days) from those who purport to know, nobody truly knows what will happen locally or nationally on Monday any more than anybody knew that the Jets would defeat the Cowboys last weekend. That’s why they play the game (and hold elections). We all have our predictions based on studying polls, reading news stories, perusing letters to the editor, reading online comments and talking with others. We also have our gut feelings, which in this seemingly toss-up of an election, may be as fine a prognostication as any. Pick a favourite colour to win and you are as much a political Kreskin as the rest of us. Kudos to those who carried a banner of a particular party and knocked on doors, withstood questions from reporters and engaged in spirited debate at various forums. The end is nigh and, for one of the septet on the ballot, so is the beginning. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THANKS TO ALL WHO RAN FOR THE CURE Editor: New data released by the Canadian Cancer Society tells us the breast cancer death rate in women has dropped by almost half since it peaked in 1986. This incredible new statistic shows us that years of dedicated research funding are producing outcomes that are making a real difference in the lives of Canadians. For many people who have received a breast cancer diagnosis, as well as their families, the five-year breast cancer survival rate of 88 per cent has helped transform their diagnosis from one of fear to one of hope. So, after hearing impactful news like this, why are we still talking

DAVE EAGLES/KTW A congested Summit Connector and the decision by some drivers to bypass the long line of vehicles, turn left at Mission Flats Road, then pull a U-turn and return to the traffic light has drawn the ire of many KTW readers. Zipper mergers and shortcut seekers have also been criticized.

ZIPPER MERGERS NEED TO ZIP IT Editor: Drivers who are using the zipper merge theory on the Summit Connector are out to lunch. There has been no change in the traffic pattern as there was during the 2015

Overlanders Bridge repairs. Nor are there signs promoting zipper merging. When heading down the Summit Connector, the right lane is for traffic going to the North Shore and the left lane is for vehicles with a

downtown destination. Drivers promoting the zipper merge on this route are simply looking for excuses to defend their bad driving practices. Brian Dunphy Kamloops

‘SNEAKS’ NEED TO BE CONSIDERATE Editor: Re: Barrie Wells’ letter of Oct. 11 (‘Sneaky drivers adding to traffic chaos’): I happen to live on Hudson’s Bay Trail, off the Summit Connector, and our strata maintains the road where the “sneaky drivers” turn to get onto the connector via a shortcut.

about breast cancer? The unfortunate reality is there remains so much more to be done. There is no doubt that significant progress is being made. But as long as there are an average of 75 Canadians who are diagnosed with breast cancer each day, we can’t stop raising funds for the breast cancer cause. We know that one in eight Canadian women is expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. In 2019, alone, it is estimated that 26,900 Canadian women will hear the words, “You have breast cancer.” We know that breast cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian women. But we also know

Federal Election 2019 Kamloops This Week has questioned Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo candidates on a number of topics. Today’s topic is FORESTRY WOES IN THE B.C. INTERIOR.

Many communities are in the midst of an economic crisis. While forestry itself is a provincial responsibility, an issue like the softwood lumber dispute is a federal role. What, if anything, can Ottawa do to help the situation that has so many towns and employees facing a dire future? Kira Cheeseborough, Animal Protection Party: “One of the first things the Animal Protection Party is proposing is that we reduce or halt the exports of lumber altogether, then create highquality jobs for KIRA CHEESEBOROUGH workers, supporting them to transition out of the industry into an artisan profession. “This will allow us to create a high-quality finished product, a Canadian standard of excellence that can be highly sought-after internationally. Then we can export that out for a higher price per unit versus what we were doing in bulk [now]. What this is going to offer is an opportunity for workers within the forestry industry who are interested, to have retraining opportunities into artisan professions. “This would be creating finished products like furniture or architectural pieces that we can then export out, so it is looking at creating the finished high-quality product that is going to be sought after more than the raw resources. “It [manufacturing] is a widely untapped aspect of the industry that can bolster economic stability and job stability and for people who have lost work in the forestry industry. It provides them opportunity if we help redirect some of the funding that was going into forestry to support those workers transitioning to those jobs and then that way their families are also being sustained. Iain Currie, Green Party: “There are a couple of things that are part of the Green Party platform, one of which is to form a council of Canadian governments, including federal government,

provincial governments, municipalities and First Nations, as equal partners in part of our mission posIAIN CURRIE sible platform, which is tied to climate change. “Forestry is an excellent example of a challenge — the latest IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] land use report highlighted land use, including forestry as a problem, but I identify it as an opportunity to invest in sustainable jobs, including sustainable forestry, as an opportunity to create jobs but also to address the climate crisis as well. “I think there’s a real role for the federal government in terms of bringing all levels of government together to work toward sustainable forestry along with all sorts of sustainable resource use in Canada. Obviously, a federal government can’t impose a forest tenure regime on the provincial government in B.C. So, working together, the Greens have committed to funding a transition of oil and gas workers and workers in the coal industry, for example, into renewable energy and sustainable jobs — and the same sort of idea is a role for the federal government in terms of forestry.” Cynthia Egli, New Democratic Party: “Forestry is largely a provincial jurisdiction. As our environment changes, so too must the forestry industry. “Now, I’m new at this part — this is a pretty steep learning curve for me on the forestry and lumber CYNTHIA EGLI industry — but

my understanding is the federal government needs to be working alongside the provincial government as a partner to ensure that Canadian forestry continues to succeed, while meeting the highest environmental and sustainability standards. “A New Democratic government intends to invest in forestry innovation and support valueadded Canadian wood products and the good jobs that go with them. “The bottom line is our logs shouldn’t be leaving the province to come back as lumber. “Our plan will support forestry research and development, help companies commercialize new technologies and expand market access for wood products to keep Canada competitive. The plan includes boosting reforestation efforts to strengthen our climate resilience and ensure the sustainability of the forestry sector and the New Democrats will protect communities through forest management to mitigate forest fire risk, including combatting the spread of the mountain pine beetle and improving co-ordination of fire-prevention efforts across all levels of government.” Ken Finlayson, People’s Party: “A good friend of mine is a huge player in the forestry industry in British Columbia. He owns one of the largest trucking firms. “Because I’m from Saskatchewan, you have to KEN FINLAYSON appreciate that I’m not an expert on the forestry industry, so I turn to people that are. “What he suggested, because we are the party of free trade, he suggested that we seize the initia-

tive and go to Donald Trump to do something about this neverending softwood lumber dispute. “In the interest of fairness and free trade, if we can surrender this supply-management thing [Canada’s agricultural policy controlling the supply of dairy, poultry and eggs through production and import controls and pricing] that’s protecting, I’m not sure the numbers, 9,000 dairy farms or something like that, in exchange for giving our single-biggest economic driver of the economy in the Interior of B.C. access to that American market — we currently are stymied by a 22 per cent duty — what do you think that might do for the lumber industry? “We can’t do much about beetles, but governments can do quite a bit about trade relations with foreign countries. That’s our role and that’s what we should be focused on. “We have to sweeten the deal. We have to put something on the table, so let’s put supply management on the table in exchange for access to that American market. “’I’m not saying it’d work, but we have to put our thinking caps on. I hope it would work. It’s a starting point. It’s not good enough to point fingers. What we need is some solutions, so what I’m proposing is a tentative solution. It’s not good enough to blame [Premier] John Horgan. It’s not good enough to blame the previous [B.C.] Liberal government.” Peter Kerek, Communist Party: “Ottawa needs to get us out of the free trade — we call them corporate rights agreements — and support our industries by nationalizing them. PETER KEREK “Take them

out of the hands of the corporations and put them into the hands of working people. If they don’t want to nationalize the forest industry, then they should at least create a legal method for those workers to continue the operations without the corporate ownership involved. “When they want to propose to close down a mill, the workers should have the right to take it over as a worker-run co-op and decide on their own how they want to run that business, if they want to run it, who is going to take a voluntary layoff, will they take reduction in wages. “Let the workers democratically decide what’s going to happen to their factory, sawmill, worksite.” Terry Lake, Liberal Party: “While forestry is largely a provincial responsibility, I do think there are things the federal can be doing. “Diversifying economies in smaller communities and high speed internet is a big part of that, but TERRY LAKE also looking at retraining opportunities for people from the forestry sector. And, importantly, not just a forestry help initiative, but a climate change initiative is looking at increased tree planting. “We [the current Liberal government] have extended the workshare program so you can be working part time and collect EI … that’s been extended because of the forestry situation. “And, of course, the softwood lumber dispute is always in the background. That is squarely in the court of the federal government and we want to make sure we get the best deal, not just get a deal. See FORESTRY WOES, A11

ith just three days until general voting day, candidates are making final pitches to voters and preparing to gather on Monday to watch the poll results. from KamloopsThompson-Cariboo and across the country. KTW reached out to the seven local candidates in the final days of the campaign and asked for their thoughts on the campaign, projections about who will win and any final words they have for voters. KIRA CHEESEBOROUGH (ANIMAL PROTECTION): Kira Cheeseborough is honest about her chances on election night, conceding she does not expect to win. However, the youngest local candidate called her campaign “very successful,” noting she held her own in debates and turned the heads of those initially skeptical of her fringe party during speaking events on the campaign trail. Whatever happens on Monday, however, it likely won’t be the last Kamloops residents

see of the social work student in the political realm. Cheeseborough said she plans to run in municipal, provincial and/or federal elections in the future, for which she has picked up tips since the beginning of this campaign. Next time, she said, she will start earlier and advertise. “I think for my very first experience doing anything election-wise, it was great,” Cheeseborough said. “I learned so much since the start of the campaign. I know for next time things I could do better and things that I didn’t do at all.” Most important to her during this election and, in the final days of the campaign, has been providing another perspective and pushing the issue of climate change. Despite her odds, she is still asking voters to place an X beside her name on Monday. “Make sure you’re voting for the future,” Cheeseborough said. “Not just now, not just what you’re used to. Vote for what you think will be lasting change.” IAIN CURRIE (GREEN): Iain Currie was gobbling up

a 2 p.m. lunch on Wednesday between door-knocking when he was reached by KTW for his take on the campaign. “It’s still going, but it’s going remarkably well, actually,” he said. Currie predicted the Greens will place in the top two positions in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding, based on the continued energy of volunteers and those with whom he speaks while door-knocking. As for the campaign nationwide, Currie said he has been disappointed by the focus on the leaders’ personalities — not issues. He thinks too much focus was spent on dissecting the “real” Justin Trudeau and who will win certain parts of Quebec. “It’s been about the horse race,” Currie said. He will be watching the results on Monday night at Red Collar downtown. Until then, he’s pushing his final message: “We have a chance to do something remarkable in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo,” Currie said. “To send a message that we’re tired of politics as usual. We’re tired of the same old half-measures and half-truths. We want real action on climate change.” CYNTHIA EGLI (NDP): Cynthia Egli said she felt her campaign went well, but she has

no projection for how she will fare on election night. “It was a real challenge jumping in at the last moment, but I really felt I had no choice if my daughters and their friends were to have a progressive candidate to vote for,” Egli said. On election night, Egli will be waiting with her family in a private location until a winner is declared in the riding before heading to the Red Beard Cafe, at Tranquille Road and Yew Street in North Kamloops, at about 8 p.m. for a campaign celebration. KEN FINLAYSON (PEOPLE’S PARTY): Ken Finlayson said it was a struggle to get exposure on the campaign trail, but overall, he felt it went well. “But I have to say the community of Kamloops has been pretty fair,” he said. Finlayson expressed his frustration and regret when looking back on a couple of infamous moments during the campaign — one in which he shared a controversial meme depicting climate change activist Greta Thunberg next to images of Nazi youth and campaign signs in Kamloops being spray painted with the letters “PPC.” He said it was distressing that people thought he was making a moral equivalency between climate change activists and

Nazis, noting his intention was that children should be protected from climate change alarmism. He said he viewed the spray painting as a “juvenile ploy” by “some mental midget that’s trying to smear the PPC” and doesn’t think it hurt the campaign. Looking ahead, Finlayson said he is not sure how he’ll do in the polls and, given the current political climate, doesn’t think anyone knows. Citing election victories of Doug Ford in Ontario and Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. election, Finlayson said populism is on the rise, noting the PPC is a populist party. “I think we’re in for a surprise,” he said, adding he thinks he can win the riding — and his yardstick for success in the campaign is a victory. Finlayson said voters should cast a ballot for him because the PPC is “the only real alternative out there. “The other mainstream parties are all pretty much singing from the same song sheet,” he said. On election night, Finlayson plans to be at his Kamloops campaign office, downtown at 234 Victoria St. In the final days of the campaign, he will be knocking on doors. “You got to make the effort,” he said.

Chamber quizzes candidates on business issues KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce interviewed six of the seven candidates in the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding to find out where they stand on business-focused issues. Animal Protection Party candidate Kira Cheeseborough was not part of the interviews as she did not respond to requests to participate from the chamber. Chamber members were sur-

veyed to ask what was important to them during this election campaign. The survey data was then formulated into five questions for the candidates. Candidates were individually interviewed at the Chamber of Commerce offices and their answers were video-recorded for public viewing. Questions that were asked: 1. If elected, what will be the economic priorities for your government? 2. How will your government

increase immigration to B.C.? 3. How will your government create affordable and subsidized housing for vulnerable workers in Canada’s most expensive housing markets? 4. What is your plan to ensure Canada’s debt burden remains affordable today, and for future generations? 5. What specific measures will you introduce to help small business thrive? Joshua Knaak, President of the Board of Directors,

Kamloops Chamber of Commerce: “Our membership has made it clear that increased taxes and costs of doing business are their primary concern, heading into this federal election,” chamber president Joshua Knaak said. “Frankly, this is an issue that should be of concern to all Canadian residents.” To view the video of the candidates’ responses, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and click on the Federal Election tab.

On topic: Forestry woes in the B.C. Interior From A10

“Right now, from talks I’ve had with people in the forest industry, they don’t want to just settle it and get a bad deal now. They’d rather hold on and get a better deal later. “So much effort has gone in to the NAFTA re-negotiations, but now that that’s pretty well done, hopefully the softwood lumber negotiations can be ramped up after the election.” Cathy McLeod, Conservative Party: “First of all, supporting industry. “The fact that the prime minister three years ago with [former U.S.] presi-

dent [Barack] Obama promised the softwood lumber agreement in the upcoming months and, of course, the whole term of office has gone by and they have not managed to get a softwood lumber agreement in place. “That adds upwards of [a] 20 per cent [duty] in terms of the price of Canada’s product, so it’s a significant issue. The softwood lumber agreement is important and he [Trudeau] promised it over three years ago. “We’re [Conservative Party] the ones who had to solve it last time after it was neglected. In 2006, we got a 10-year agreement. Liberals came back in, it’s been neglected again. “The second area is supporting workers. There is a number of different ways that EI is sometimes adjusted to accommodate unique situations, so I think that is where the conversations need to happen in terms of what they [federal government] can do and how they can do it.

“I know the provincial government had some very specific suggestions, but they [federal government] needs to come to the table and they need to be talking to these workers, to these companies, to the provincial government and getting it done. “To date, it’s been a very indifferent response. “And the third area is supporting communities, and communities need to diversify, and communities have incredible capacity to diversify. “So I believe rural priority for broadband [internet] would be very supportive because you need broadband to attract businesses. “We have a department called Western Diversification. They announced $40 million for companies in Vancouver and Victoria and had not focused any support in terms of the Interior B.C. and they need to step up to the plate.”

Door-knocking through final days of campaign From A11

#elxn43 – Oct. 21, 2019

PETER KEREK (COMMUNIST): Peter Kerek predicts not much will change in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding on election night. In fact, he doesn’t believe any candidate has a chance of beating incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, a situation he called “awful” and one he blamed on the Liberal government’s broken electoral reform promise. “Conservatives are just as happy with her [McLeod] now as they were in 2015, so I don’t see her base going down and I don’t see them jumping ship to go to the PPC [People’s Party of Canada],” Kerek said. “Liberals and the Greens and the NDP, for that matter, are kind of fighting for a centrist

Federal Election 2019 vote,” Kerek said. “They’ll split it, like they often do. It probably won’t even be that close here and Cathy McLeod will get in with something like 35 per cent of the popular vote, with most people in this area voting against her, voting for anyone but her, but still getting her.” For his part, Kerek has tried and said interactions he has had at forums throughout the campaign have been generally positive, with voters receptive to his progressive message. In the final days of the campaign, Kerek will be pounding the pavement in neighbourhoods where his message will be best

received. “Neighbourhoods that are in the lower socioeconomic status and folks who would benefit from the implementation of things like housing policies, food policies, employment policies, all the things that are desperately needed by Canada’s working class,” he said. Kerek will be working Monday and does not plan to host an election night gathering. TERRY LAKE (LIBERAL): Terry Lake said he’s been humbled by the support of his team of volunteers when assessing his first fed-

eral campaign. He said the campaign probably represents the most door-knocking and fundraising activity he has ever done, noting it is rewarding to see the commitment from his supporters. Lake said he has no projection for how he will fare, but his measure of success is win or bust, noting the reason he ran was to prevent a Conservative government from forming in Ottawa. “It’s obviously very close nationally and I really, firmly believe this is an election where many people are going to make up their mind just before they vote,” he said.

In the final days of the campaign, Lake said he will be urging supporters to get out and vote as the race looks to be a close one. “You can’t leave any stone unturned in an election like this,” he said. On election night, Lake and his supporters will be at the Delta Hotel, downtown on Victoria Street, watching the results come in. He believes it could come down to B.C. to decide what party will form the next government, predicting a close race in Quebec and Ontario, a redleaning Maritimes and blue across the Prairies. Lake said he thinks there’s a good chance of a Liberal minority government or even a slim Grit majority government and hopes voters of KamloopsThompson-Cariboo vote for him as someone who has some

influence with the prime minister and key people in the government. “I think it’s been a while since we’ve had that kind of influence and I hope to be able to make that happen,” Lake said. CATHY MCLEOD (CONSERVATIVE): Cathy McLeod praised her team of volunteers, who she said worked their hearts out. She will spend her final days door-knocking and visiting as many seniors’ residences as possible, talking about a “critical election” for the country’s economic future and unity. “There’s a lot of very difficult conversations that have been polarizing,” McLeod said, adding she is working to ensure Canadians come together. Asked about the negative tone of this

election — such as Conservative Leader Andrew Sheer’s attack of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau during his opening remarks of the English leader’s debate — McLeod objected to those singling out the Conservative Party. “I take objection to someone saying tactics by Conservatives,” McLeod said. “I would say there have been lots of tactics played by other parties. We’ve had a number of debates together and discussion has been vigorous. For the most part, I think, teams have tried to be respectful of each other on a local basis.” As for who will win on Monday night, McLeod didn’t want to take a guess. She plans to take in results from her campaign office, downtown on Seymour Street. “This is in the hands of the voters,” McLeod said.

Two men facing charges in connection with high-profile police raids last year of two city homes and a downtown warehouse — in which Mounties say they found improvized explosive devices and other weapons — will be in B.C. Supreme Court later this month for a hearing to determine whether their Charter rights were breached by officers searching the properties. Cameron Cole, 36, and 63-year-old Charles Patrick are facing a raft of weapons- and propertyrelated charges. Mounties have said the raids and subsequent charges were the culmination of a year-long investigation into the alleged activities of Cole, believed by police to have been at or near the top of one of the city’s drug-dealing operations in recent years. Cole has been free on bail since December, living with his family in Alberta. Patrick is in custody. The voir dire is scheduled to begin in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Oct. 28.

Alberta, meanwhile, will consider adding rules for vaping when it reviews the province’s smoking and tobacco legislation next month. Yukon recently announced it is raising the age for access to tobacco and vapour products to 19 years old from 18, as well as proposing further limits on how vaping products can be used and promoted. A survey done for Health Canada that was published this year found that one-fifth of high school-aged students reported using vaping products, as well as one-seventh of children ages 13 and 14. Kamloops-South Thompson B.C. Liberal MLA Todd Stone has been calling on the provincial government to take action on teen vaping. He is urging the ban of flavoured vaping juice — as has been done in Washington state — and in April introduced a bill to increase restrictions on the sale of vape pens and products, as well as toughen penalties for those who don’t comply with standards. During a visit to Kamloops on Oct. 1, Health Minister Adrian Dix told KTW he will soon announce steps the government will take on the issue.

will be more as this is quickly emerging as a significant public health issue,’’ Henry said in a statement. “Vaping is turning back the clock on decades of effective anti-smoking efforts and creating a new generation of young people addicted to nicotine.’’ Henry issued a notice in September to doctors to report patients showing symptoms that meet the case definition, which includes those who use e-cigarette devices and whose illnesses aren’t attributed to other causes. There have been more than 1,000 cases reported in the United States, including 26 deaths, and the first Canadian was diagnosed in Quebec last month. Health Canada has urged people who vape to watch for symptoms, such as a cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting and chest pain. The agency has also said that health-care professionals should ask patients about their use of e-cigarette products if they have respiratory symptoms. Henry said the person diagnosed with the probable illness in B.C. has since recovered, but released no other details about the individual.

A Nicola Valley man accused of setting fire to Merritt-area churches in a string of high-profile arsons early this year is slated to stand trial next summer. August Caprian, 38, is facing three counts of arson and a separate charge alleging he broke into a church with intent to commit arson. His trial is slated to begin in Kamloops provincial court on June 3, 2020.

Correction A story in the Oct. 11 edition of Kamloops This Week (‘MLA to meet with residents on mining claims’) improperly stated that mineral rights were “brought” from the province of British Columbia. In fact, they were “bought.”

New export advisor hired to help province’s Indigenous businesses follow us

MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Tk’emlups-based business consultant will be a dedicated advisor to Indigenous entrepreneurs across B.C. in reaching new markets. Daphane Nelson is serving as export advisor for Indigenous businesses, offering export planning services for Indigenous small businesses through the Export Navigator program. She will help Indigenous business owners determine their export readiness, identify new markets and navigate logistics, customs certifications and other export requirements. The program began as a pilot project, but was made permanent this past April and expanded to include new export advisors dedicated to supporting Indigenousowned businesses. Speaking at the Moccasin Square Garden at the Tk’emlups band office on Wednesday, B.C. Minister of Jobs, Trade and Technology Bruce Ralston said the province saw an opportunity to directly support Indigenous businesses with exporting through the program’s expansion. “Our commitment as a government is reconciliation,” Ralston said. “One of the major parts of reconciliation is to share the prosperity of our province and one of the ways to do that is to assist the development of businesses that are led by Indigenous entrepreneurs that will be successful, create jobs and prosper — not only for themselves, but for their communities, and we all benefit

form that,” he told KTW. Ralston said it can be challenging for a small business to begin exporting without having experience, noting the program provides one-on-one access to skilled advisors who help businesses take those next steps. “It’s a bit different from accessing a website or going to a oneday course,” Ralston said. “You have a continuing relationship with an expert person and that really has made all the difference.” Ralston said it’s this personalized touch that led to the program becoming a permanent one. Nelson has been in her role since the end of June, having been reaching out to various businesses regarding her services. Nelson said she is looking forward to the months ahead, when she can sit down with clients and discuss next steps. She said her annual target is to sign up between 10 and 30 businesses, noting she is now working with seven firms. Responsible for dealing with Indigenous clients across the province, Nelson has not yet worked with any in the Kamloops area. “I will be seeking those opportunities,” Nelson said, noting this week’s announcement should help get the word out. Support from the Export Navigator program comes at no cost to the business. Tk’emlups Chief Rosanne Casimir told KTW she feels Nelson’s services will be a big help to future entrepreneurs in reaching markets around the world. “When you’re in business, you

need to have those resources, you need to have individuals help her along the way — and she’s going to be that person,” Casimir said. She believes there are a number of band members working in the Tk’emlups’ industrial subdivison and throughout the Kamloops area who will want to reach out and explore new business opportunities when they learn about the resource. Nelson is based out of the Community Futures Development Corporation of the Central Interior First Nations, located on the Tk’emlups reserve. She joins a team of nine advisors around the province who provide personalized approaches to help businesses become export-ready. The province is contributing $2 million over two years toward the program, with a possible third year of funding. The Export Navigator program is managed by the province and delivered through Small Business BC, Community Futures and Women’s Enterprise Centre. According to the province, 342 B.C. businesses have participated in the Export Navigator program since 2016. The largest groups of participating businesses are from the agrifoods sector, followed by manufacturing, consumer goods and clean technology. Export Navigator is available in six B.C. economic development regions: Thompson/Okanagan, Vancouver Island/Coast, Cariboo, Kootenay, North Coast/Nechako and Northeast. Ralston said the Export Navigator program focuses on businesses located outside the Lower Mainland.

AN ART-VEILING AT THE TAPESTRY

#11 - 111 ORIOLE ROAD, KAMLOOPS | 250-374-1236

Rather than hold a traditional groundbreaking ceremony, ARPA Investments on Wednesday unveiled a community art project as its begins the second phase of The Tapestry on Spirit Square, a 38-unit market condominium with ground floor commercial space. The mixed-use development is at the corner of MacKenzie Avenue and Yew Street in North Kamloops. The community art project, called Bring Your Colour, is a collaboration of the North Shore BIA, the Kamloops Arts Council and ARPA Investments and consists of 150 plywood boards between four and six feet high, painted by community members to look like people. The boards have been affixed to construction fencing around the development site to create a linking art project. Once construction on The Tapestry on Spirit Square is complete and the fencing is removed, the McDonald Park Community Association is interested in repurposing the art project for its community garden.

a glitch and had to get Sandra to check it again.” The winning ticket was purchased at the lottery ticket centre in Northills Centre in North Kamloops. Sandra and William plan to do more to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary now that they have extra cash. Sandra said they are also planning a trip to Hawaii to visit family and a jaunt to Las Vegas

for some sporting events. They may not have ended up being so lucky had it not been for a recent change-up in their lotto strategy. “We always enjoy buying the lotto because it goes to a good cause, but we only started buying the Extra three months ago because we kept hearing of people winning on the extra numbers,” Williams said.

The depots accept raw, frozen milk, which is transported to the BC Women’s Provincial Milk Bank in Vancouver. Donors are pre-screened and the donated milk is pasteurized at the provincial milk bank and distributed to hospitals throughout B.C. While many breastfeeding mothers in Interior Health have donated milk through periodic milk bank drives in the community, the introduction of collection depots at the Kamloops Health Unit

and the Community Health Centre in Kelowna will help more people become donors and will allow them to donate on a continuous basis. New donors are welcome and must complete the Provincial Milk Bank’s pre-screening process before they can donate their milk. Screening consists of a telephone interview to confirm potential donors are in good health, not taking select medications and/or supplements and willing to undergo blood testing.

From Uji to Kamloops after the typhoon JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops delegation has returned from visiting Uji, Japan, the Tournament Capital’s sister city — and everyone is safe from a typhoon that landed southwest of Tokyo on Saturday, killing more than 70 people. “When we flew out of Osaka, we went around Tokyo. They knew the navigation to stay out of the bad weather,” said Coun. Bill Sarai, who returned from the trip last Friday. “This plane, I haven’t travelled a lot — but

enough to know — we hit turbulence way more than a normal plane does all the way home,” Sarai said. “It was a little worrisome because you knew there’s a typhoon going on somewhere and those things can change directions on a dime. We felt for the people when we got home. “We were worried because some of us stayed behind for a couple of days … we were a little bit worried about them to make sure they were hunkered down, safe and let us know when they got home. Everybody’s home safe.”

The sister city program, described as a cultural exchange, was developed almost three decades ago as a federal initiative to twin cities internationally. Each year, students from Uji visit Kamloops and, every few years or so, the cities send delegations back and fourth. The last Uji delegation came to Kamloops in 2015. Eighteen people, including Sarai, Mayor Ken Christian, city and Thompson-Nicola Regional District staff and representatives from Thompson Rivers University and Tourism

Kamloops flew to Uji this year. Christian was in Japan for 10 days, using vacation time and his own money to bring family and visit Tokyo in addition to the four-day Uji visit. He also returned last Friday and called the trip “excellent.” Highlights, he said, included touring a new hospital and learning how it is organized and financed, in light of expansion at Royal Inland Hospital. Christian also visited a private long-term care facility, a local firehall, a large public elemen-

tary school, a UNESCO heritage site and Uji’s museum. Discussed were tourism opportunities and the city’s relationship with Thompson Rivers University. Christian said that while the trip is not one in which delegates return with a briefcase full of deals, it does build relationships. Asked of anything the city can take away from what is happening overseas, Christian noted the efficiency of public transit and preservation

of cultural heritage. Kamloops corporate services director Kathy Humphrey said the city has not yet tallied up costs of this year’s trip. However, she said, the city budgets $40,000 per year for sister-city-related activities, including sending and receiving delegations, hosting students, translation services and gifts. On years when delegations are sent or received, the city spends about $25,000, compared to between $10,000 and $15,000 in years when

only students come to visit and no delegations travel overseas. The agreement when city staff and councillors travel to Uji is that the city covers airfare and the first night’s accommodation. Uji covers the costs of hosting delegates during the four days. If delegates attend early or bring family, it is on their own dime. When the Uji delegation visits Kamloops, costs are reversed. Humphrey said the most money spent in one year on the sister city relationship was $27,000. With a $40,000 annual budget, the remaining funds end up in the budget surplus. Christian estimated his bill to be $2,500, which he said is about what it costs to attend the annual Union of BC Municipalities conference.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Wheels within wheels within wheels in Syria

ussia and its Syrian ally, Bashar alAssad, win, the Kurds lose and the United States pulls out. It has been a hectic few days on the TurkishSyrian border. After a phone call with Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Oct. 7, U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly abandoned America’s Kurdish allies in Syria. As U.S. troops pulled out of their positions along Syria’s northern border, where they had been protecting the Kurds from a Turkish attack, Erdogan moved fast. The Turkish president declared he would take over a big chunk of northern Syria to drive out the Syrian Democratic forces (SDF), the Kurdishdominated militia that has been America’s key ally in the fight against Islamic State (ISIS). Erdogan described the SDF as “terrorists” and a threat to Turkey, but they are nothing of the sort. Syrian Kurds are the

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH majority population in the border region with Turkey. They created the SDF to resist Islamic State attempts to conquer the region five years ago, after the Syrian regular army pulled out of the region to fight rebels elsewhere in the country. The SDF became America’s key local ally in the fight against ISIS. More than 10,000 Kurds died in that war while the United States gave them air support. By the end of last year, they had destroyed the Islamic State and the whole region was at peace. The local Kurds and their Arab neighbours

were running it themselves. The Kurds did want autonomy within Syria, but they never demanded independence and they have made no attacks on Turkey, terrorist or otherwise. So why did Erdogan want to attack them? Erdogan is paranoid about the Kurds because one-fifth of Turkey’s own population is ethnic Kurds and some of them have waged a guerilla and terrorist struggle for decades, seeking an independent state. Other Kurdish minorities in the region, including those in Syria, are not at war with the Turks, but Erdogan didn’t like having the Kurdish-run SDF on his border. Erdogan invaded last Saturday and, after about 36 hours, the despairing Syrian Kurds did the obvious thing — they asked the Syrian army to come back and save them. They don’t love Syria’s dictator, alAssad, but it’s better than being invaded by Turkey and losing their homes permanently.

HUGE e l a S

FURNITURE SATURDAY- SUNDAY • OCT 19 & 20

But there was something puzzling about all of this. Why would Assad’s Russian allies approve a Syrian army move that might bring it into direct conflict with the Turkish army? After all, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been courting Erdogan as a potential ally (even though Turkey is a NATO member). The Syrian army is now driving back into the northeastern part of the country unopposed by the SDF. The army will re-occupy the whole region, which is Syrian sovereign territory. The Syrian Kurds may still be able to negotiate an autonomy deal with Damascus, on the grounds they are Syria’s only non-Arab

minority. In any case, they have no other alternative. Erdogan can either back down and be humiliated or he can press on and risk a war not only with the Syrian army, but also the Russian air force. But we must also consider the possibility that the whole thing has been a charade, masterminded by the Russians to get the Americans out of Syria and restore Syrian government control over all of eastern Syria. First, Erdogan puts the frighteners on Trump in the famous phone-call and Trump abandons the Kurds and starts pulling his U.S. troops out. Erdogan then starts the threatened invasion and the Syrian Kurds

understandably panic and make a deal with Damascus. The Syrian army returns to the northern border for the first time in five years without having to fire a shot, carefully avoiding the points along the border where the Turks have already entered the country. Erdogan declares a ceasefire and eventually withdraws his troops, stating he is satisfied the Kurdish “threat” has been ended because the Syrian army, not the SDF, now controls the border. Even Iran is satisfied because this eliminates the possibility that U.S. forces could be an obstacle to its planned secure corridor across Syria to Lebanon.

There’s no proof of this, but it makes sense. The Russians are smart enough and Trump is inept or compromised enough. It would explain why the Russians looked like they were backing the Syrians at the risk of alienating their new Turkish friend. Maybe there was no risk. Maybe Erdogan was in on the deal. And don’t worry about a revival of the Islamic State. For the thousands of ISIS fighters now held prisoner by the Kurds, there can be no worse fate than falling into the hands of the Syrian army.

OUR PLAN

Accountable Government - On October 11, Andrew Scheer presented his platform for the upcoming Election. It is an honest, responsible platform, which will balance the budget in 5 years. The Conservatives will maintain support for health care, social services and infrastructure. Instead we will cut foreign aid and corporate welfare in order to put more money in your pocket to help you get ahead. Scheer said a new Conservative government will waste no time making life more affordable for Canadians, tabling the Get Ahead JOBS & ECONOMY

In contrast to the Liberals, NDP and Green Party, the Conservative Party will stand up for our Natural Resource Industries, such as Forestry, Oil, Gas, LNG, Mining, Ranching, Farming, and Fisheries. We will get our economy going by building pipelines, ensuring Indigenous support and involvement. We will all prosper together.

Fiscal Update to ensure that Canadians will get more money back in their pockets starting in the 2020 taxation year. Scheer will direct his new Finance Minister to table the Get Ahead Fiscal Update within 45 days of forming government. “We are going to help you get ahead and we are going to get started right away. Canadians are falling further and further behind. There’s no time to waste,” Scheer said. “It’s all a part of our 100 Day Action Plan and part of our commitment to putting more money back in your pocket so you can finally get ahead.”

HEALTH CARE

The Conservative government has committed to a Health Care guarantee to protect and strengthen our public health care system, including increased funding for mental health and home care services. Also, $1.5 billion for life saving scans (MRI and CT scans).

• Green Home Renovation Tax Credit, putting up to $3800 back in the pockets of families who make green-home improvements. • The Children’s Fitness Tax Credit Allowing parents to claim up to $1,000 for sports activities. • The Children’s Arts and Learning Tax Credit, letting parents claim up to $500 for arts and learning programs. • The Green Public Transit Tax Credit, saving a family of four who take transit almost $1,000.

ENVIRONMENT

We believe the best plan to tackle climate change is technology, not more taxes. Just imagine if we were to export our liquid natural gas to countries like China and India and this allowed them to get rid of their coal fired power plants? And despite what others will try to tell you, the safest form of transporting petroleum products is by pipeline.

SOCIAL ISSUES

A conservative government under Andrew Scheer, has committed to not open divisive social issues in spite of fear mongering by Trudeau Liberals.

YOUR MONEY

We have committed to a balanced budget in five years. By contrast, Trudeau’s spending is out of control. If he is re elected, our deficit will increase by another $100 BILLION.

IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO GET AHEAD Universal Tax cuts, Taking GST off home heating, Tax Free Parental Benefits, Green Home Tax Credits for Home Renovations, Support Law Abiding Gun Owners, Support our Natural Resource Industries, Create Jobs & Unite Canadians by creating a National Energy Corridor, Kids’ Art and Sports Tax Credit, EI Adoption Benefits and an Enhanced Adoption Expense Tax Credit, Boost RESP Contributions, Volunteer Tax Credit for Search and Rescue and Firefighter Volunteers and more.

More to explore in Ottawa than purely politics During the winter months in Ottawa, a portion of the Rideau Canal is devoted to those who love to lace up and skate on the icy waterway. A pedestrian pathway hugs up to both sides, so even those who enjoy a good walk can take in the sights.

n Canada’s capital, our governing nexus, centre of Parliament, the maple leaf flaps proudly from many a flag pole in Ottawa. But if you think this vibrant city is all about pageantry and politics, you may want to take another look. During a 36-hour whirlwind visit, we discovered a few of its must-see gems. We checked into a royal retreat at the Fairmont Château Laurier, a regal-like beauty steeped with turrets and history and conveniently tucked into the city’s pulsating hub. Following in the footsteps of dignitaries, we went for the glitz — booking a fourth-floor Fairmont Gold experience complete with pedigree perks, such as breakfast buffets and evening canapés. Later that day, we headed out on a walking tour, which is offered year-round. During the chillier months, it’s a great way to get acquainted with the city’s treasures — past and present. We bundled ourselves in woolies and began our stroll past famous landmarks, learning about Ottawa’s colourful traits — everything from its political characters and legendary founders, to architecture and amazing eateries. One restaurant became our gastronomy stop for the evening. The well-respected Beckta Dining and Wine opened its second location, Play Food & Wine, in the ByWard Market neighbourhood in 2009. Housed in an historic building, the funky restaurant focuses on small plates and is located across the street from the U.S. Embassy. Earlier this year, Centre Block

closed as it undergoes renovations for up to 10 years. A new interim House of Commons opened for public tours in West Block, in what used to be an open-air courtyard. As well, the Senate of Canada also relocated, with tours of the chamber still available at the Senate of Canada Building. We signed up for the free tour and then followed our guide to get a Coles Notes overview of the workings of our country. Sandwiched between the Parliament Buildings and our hotel is the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that links Kingston to Ottawa. During the winter months, a portion of this pristine waterway is devoted to those who love to lace up and skate. A pedestrian pathway hugs up to both sides, so even those without blades (like us) can get in on

the action. A short taxi ride south of downtown Ottawa, we found the Glebe neighbourhood, once a turn-of-the-century blue-collar community, now trendy and terrifically hip. Boutiques, bookstores and shops border the tree-lined streets. When it’s time to dine, the selections are awesome — dishes like Wild Oat for the health conscious, Flippers for the fishlover and Light of India for spicy Indian fare. After dinner, we explored British gastropub Rowan, which was opened in the Glebe four years earlier by brothers Simon and Ross Fraser — owners of the beloved Fraser Café in the New Edinburgh neighbourhood. Looking at the menu, we found offerings such as confit chicken leg with roasted beets

and cauliflower puree, cured duck breast topped with quince puree, Swiss chard and roasted potatoes and, the signature dish, Rowan pork pie with mustard and pickles. None will disappoint. The next morning, we took in the wonderful museums. Ottawa is a cultured capital and so, with numerous museums and limited time, we opt to visit three of the big ones. First, the Canadian History Hall, located in the Canadian Museum of History. It retraces 15,000 years of Canadian history through three spacious galleries. Two other must-see galleries in this venue are the First Peoples’ Hall and Canadian Children’s Museum. In the Canadian War Museum, we learn of Canada’s military timeline, war art and battle

scenes. At the National Gallery of Canada, we admire Canadian and Indigenous artwork. During your Ottawa visit, be sure not to miss ByWard Market neighbourhood. Nearly 200 vendors set up shop at this open-air venue and, even in the cold of winter, it’s bursting with business. We sauntered the aisles where bistros cozy up to boutiques and veggies, fruits and flowers brim over with abundance. It’s an amazing menagerie of savoury delights, inviting scents and colourful sights. Like the rest of our 36-hour Ottawa soiree, it’s full of surprises.

MAKE HISTORY. VOTE GREEN. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo is the battleground in this climate election - and this is a battle that we can win together. A vote for the usual suspects sends a message that we are content with politics as usual, and resigned to half-measures and half-truths. Sending a Green MP to Ottawa will send a clear message that we demand real action and change.

Young potter all fired up Taylor Knauff’s work will be part of the upcoming Thompson Valley Potters’ Guild sale on Nov. 2 SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

n a tiny backyard studio tucked away behind a Westmount home, a decorative sign with a quote adorns the wall above a clay-washed workbench. “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” In her final years of high school, Taylor Knauff, 20, had her eye on a pursuit of the sciences until a series of concussions playing hockey left her struggling to keep up, leading to the earliest of career changes and a turn to the more creative side of work. “I had a really bad concussion in the first semester of Grade 12 and dropped a lot of my harder courses because it was really bad,” she said. Headaches and dizziness interrupted

Knauff’s academic pursuits just as she was looking at her post-secondary options. For a time, she was convinced she would not return to school. But then a suggestion came from her father, who knew she had tried and enjoyed pottery while at Westsyde secondary. He pointed her toward the ceramics program at Kootenay School of the Arts at Selkirk College in Nelson. “I thought it sounded super easy and fun and said I’d do it,” she said. “It was really hard. I lived on my own for the first time, I had roommates for the first time… It was really not what I was expecting but it was crazy fun and I met so many amazing potters,” she told KTW. Following the 10-month program, Knauff returned to

her Westmount home and set up shop. After building up her wares, she ventured out to the Kamloops Farmers’ Market and eventually ran into another amazing group of potters — the Thompson Valley Potters’ Guild, which she promptly joined. “The guild has definitely helped me a lot. In Nelson, I had a class of potters around me all the time, so if I

had a question, there was always a lot of support and encouragement, and with the guild, they’re always helpful, even with sales,” she said. Soon, Knauff will be part of her first ever guild juried pottery sale, which will happen on Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour St. For her, the work began as a therapeutic

experience — something she called meditative and very helpful. “Just bringing functional pieces of art into the world is something that really gets me excited,” she said. Knauff mostly makes mugs, bowls and vases and has a penchant for bright colours. She works out of a 10-foot by 10-foot studio — limited in size to keep building permit costs and

requirements down — and her garage, where she houses a kiln that slowly fires her work to 2,194 degrees Fahrenheit. Along with the therapeutic element, she said she also enjoys the process because of how unpredictable it can be. “It’s super one-of-akind and I can’t really control it, to some extent. It’s freeing. Every opening of the

kiln is like Christmas,” she said. Although there are some disappointments — pieces not glazing properly, or more rarely, even exploding — Knauff gets a lot out of her work, even if she might consider her work to be small things.

Grade 4 lesson on salmon leads to published book Chapters will host young author on Oct. 26 TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

ary Shelley wrote her famous book Frankenstein when she was only 20. S.E. Hinton finished The Outsiders when she was 16. But local student Finn Newcomen has them both beat. He wrote The Hard Life of Jackson when he was just nine. Finn didn’t write it with the intention of seeing it published — creating the story was part of a fourth-grade school project — but five years later, it’s a fully illustrated children’s book available at online shops like Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Indigo. “We were doing a unit on the salmon cycle, so we had to do this project where we write a story on the point of view from the salmon, through his journey, through the river to the ocean, and all the things he might encounter on the way,” Finn said. “I started it and I really liked how it was going, so I kept with it and finished it.” Finn’s mom, Nan Stevens, did a lot of the legwork in getting the book published, including finding a publisher and distributor in Victoria, a printer in Winnipeg and, maybe most importantly, an illustrator in Kamloops — Braden Hallett. Stevens was familiar with Hallett and from his time at TRU, when he had been a part of her teacher’s education program.

“The illustrations are unbelievable,” Stevens said. Five years later, there were surprises waiting for Hallett when he looked back on the work he did for the book. “It was interesting because I actually hadn’t looked at it really all that hard since I’d finished the art and I was a little scared that I would look at it and think, ‘Oh, this is terrible,’” he said. Instead, Hallett was pleased with what he saw, even discovering he had intuitively made some strong, artistic choices, instinctively following certain artistic rules before he even knew what they were. “I did a lot of things right and I learned a lot from doing the book,” he said. “So I was actually pretty happy when I looked at it recently.” Though this is his first book, Hallett has kept his pens and pencils busy with spot illustrations and commissions, as well as maintaining his own web comic. Ideally, he would like to continue illustrating books. “Really, illustrating anything that tells a story,” Hallett said. As for Finn, he said he would like to tackle another book one day, but the right idea hasn’t quite grabbed him yet. The group will be at Chapters bookstore in Kamloops on Saturday, Oct. 26, at noon with copies of The Hard Life of Jackson. There will also be a reading.

ZARY TRYING TO STAY GROUNDED AS STAR RISES MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Scouts need to chat. Be on your game. Media wants to talk (again?). Somebody on Twitter says I’m not good enough, but Facebook fan says I’m the best. Mom tells me to stay humble. Must read to kids at charity event. Have hockey game tonight. NHL teams watching. Can’t let the boys down. Don’t forget to pack for road trip. You are a first-round draft pick. Be humble. Just play.

onnor Zary’s mind is a minefield. The 18-year-old Kamloops Blazers’ forward from Saskatoon appears to be navigating with natural poise, plucking motivation from doubters and zest from zealots while he wades into uncharted territory and keeps up with everyday WHLer responsibilities. Zary woke up on Wednesday morning with a new title: league’s leading scorer, with 16 points, including five goals, in 10 games. The six-foot, 180-pound left shot has 58 points in 47 regularseason games since the Christmas break last season and boasts a 15-game regular-season point

streak that dates back to March. More people want a piece of him. “When I was 16, I was coming out here every 10th game and doing a quick interview because I scored a goal or two,” said Zary, who is centring arguably the league’s top line, playing between Orrin Centazzo and Zane Franklin. “It obviously has changed quite a bit. It’s almost every day you’re getting tagged in something, some sort of social media. You’re going to see stuff all the time.” Most Zary-related media is of the tire-pumping variety these days. He is developing a strategy for the other stuff, knowing one ill-advised tweet can affect his draft status and one ill-tempered text message can damage his reputation. “You always hear from pros, guys who get roasted online,” Zary said. “They try not to look at it.

KAMLOOPS DL#8989

THE

“They look away. But it kind of gives you, and I don’t want to say it, that F-U mentality kind of thing. “You can say what you want, but I’m going to prove you wrong.” Zary is a “B” prospect, according to the NHL Central Scouting Watch List for the 2020 NHL Draft in Montreal. The rating denotes he is likely to be a second- or thirdround pick. Slide that projection into the prove-you-wrong category. The Toronto Maple Leafs’ fan, who has six points in three games since the prospects’ list was issued on Oct. 7, is of the belief he is an “A” prospect. “We’ll see when it comes to June where I am,” Zary said. “That’s what I’m worried about. It’s early in the year. I have lots to prove. “I’m just trying to win games and help the team

out as best I can.” Without Zary’s clutch play down the stretch, the Kamloops would have fallen short of the 2019 WHL post-season. The hometown Blazers’ net was empty in their penultimate game of the regular season when Zary tallied with 56 seconds remaining in the third period to tie it up and force overtime, securing a point in the front end of a home-andhome set against Prince George. Zary pegs that goal as the most notable of his career to date — “The crowd went crazy,” he said — but his short-handed, gamewinner with less than three minutes remaining in the rematch the next night was equally valuable in the Blazers’ incredible drive to the playoffs. Kamloops earned 11 of a possible 12 points in the final six games of the campaign to sneak into a post-season play-in tiebreaker

showdown versus the Kelowna Rockets. Kobe Mohr stole headlines with his game-winning goal against the visitors from the Little Apple, but it was Zary’s short-handed marker a few minutes later that started the party inside Sandman Centre. “I said this earlier in the year — pressure is a privilege,” Zary said. “You’ve got to earn pressure.” Parents Scott and Kathleen, brother Treyton and grandpa and grandma Sherdahl are among family confidantes. “They always instilled in me to be confident in my abilities, but be humble,” Zary said. “You’ve got to stay even-keeled and work for what you’re given.” Zary’s circle of trust on Mark Recchi Way includes assistant coach Chris Murray. “Yeah, it can be a lot for a kid,” Murray said. “He’s got meetings almost every day with scouts and teams. The pressure can be heavy at times. I try to keep him grounded myself, give him a little poke here and there and tease him. “But he’s pretty grounded. He’s a humble kid with a great passion for the game. That’s the best way to explain him. He is so enthusiastic about being on the ice every day. There is no downside. “He just has a great big smile on his face every day.”

Warmly welcomed good news has arrived for the Kamloops Broncos. Defensive back Kaden Cook has been named to the B.C. Football Conference defensive all-star team. The cornerback, who grew up in the city and played in the Kamloops Community Football ranks and for the South Kamloops Titans in high school, is one of five league DBs who cracked the all-star squad. “It’s pretty huge for me to kind of represent Kamloops,” Cook said. “And it’s nice to be excited about something positive. It got the coaches and teammates pretty pumped up. It

was a nice change.” Cook has four interceptions, 20 tackles (including three special teams tackles and one assisted tackle), one blocked kick and seven passes defenced in seven games this season. He also returned 12 kickoffs for 229 yards

and 10 punts for 71 yards. The 0-9 Broncos will finish the season this weekend with a game against the Rams (9-0) in Langley. “I’ve had a lot of good coaches these last three years,” Cook said. “And even though we were losing a lot, the

teammates were always good. “It builds character when you’re losing, but still playing with heart.” Cook said he expects to play Canada West football next season. “I’ve been talking to a couple of schools,” he said. “It’s moving along pretty good.”

Questions with Connor MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Blazers’ forward Connor Zary spent a few minutes answering quick-hitter questions from KTW before practice on Wednesday: KTW: What is your go-to goal celebration? CZ: It depends on the type of goal. If it’s a big goal, if there is a lot of energy in the building, it’s a one-knee, fistpump kind of thing. If it’s just a first period goal in the regular season, it’s just hands up and a little get-going [motion] to the crowd. You kind of look at the guy who has the most energy in the crowd. You kind of just make eye contact and celly with him. KTW: What is the biggest goal you’ve scored to date? CZ: It’s got to be the Prince George one [March 15, Sandman Centre], in the last few seconds of that game, the last minute with the pulled goalie, and the crowd went crazy. KTW: How do you describe the feeling you

CONNOR ZARY

He’s got it.

Nothing too crazy.

KTW: If Montana Onyebuchi were to fight Chris Murray in his prime, who would win? CZ: I’m going to have to go with a draw. I’m not going anywhere near that. Those are big boys. That’s a heavyweight tilt.

KTW: What’s your favourite food? CZ: Steak and broccoli.

get when you score a goal like that? CZ: When it first happens, you kind of black out and then you have so much energy going through your body. It’s like I just drank four energy drinks and I could play three more games.

KTW: Of the coaches on this team, who is the loudest on the bench? CZ: They’re all kind of loud. I know when Dan De Palma gets on the bench, he likes to talk and he’s always saying the right things. I’ve got to go with Danno.

KTW: What type of music are you into? CZ: I hit shuffle on the playlist. Sometimes it hits a couple soft songs, sometimes it’s some hard rap and sometimes some rock and roll. Whatever gets me going. I like to mix in a couple slow songs to keep me calm before the game.

KTW: If you could have dinner with two people, anyone, dead or alive, who would you choose? CZ: That’s an interesting one. I’ve got to say Sidney Crosby and then maybe a guy like Barack Obama. He has a crazy-cool personality and the things he’s been through in life, it would be crazy to hear from him.

KTW: If trainer Colin (Toledo) Robinson and GM Matt Bardsley were to race on skates, who would win? CZ: I’ve got to go with my boy, Toledo, just because he’s my boy.

KTW: What would you cook for them? CZ: My mom and dad try and teach me. Maybe give them some chicken breast or something.

KTW: What is the hardest part about life in the WHL? CZ: The bus trips, the three-in-threes, espcilally. KTW: Who is the toughest D-man to play against right now in the league? CZ: Maybe [Gianni] Fairbrother from Everett and [Kaedan] Korczak from Kelowna. If Montana was on a different team, I’d have to go with him. They’re strong guys and they read the play pretty well. KTW: What is the No. 1 thing that motivates you to want to play in the NHL? CZ: Just probably the love of the game. I have fun coming to the rink every day, whether it’s practice, whether it’s a workout. I always want to be on the ice. It’s always been a dream of mine. The support I have from my family and my friends, it’s unbelievable and it makes me want to do it even more.

Yvonne Timewell (from left), Kaileen McCulloch and Kate Stebbings of the Kamloops Triathlon Club participated in the Super Bowl of triathlon last Saturday — the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. The race consisted of a 3.8-kilometre open-water swim in Kailua-Kona Bay, a 180-km bike ride across the Hawaiian lava desert to Hawi and back and a marathon run of 42km along the coast of the Big Island from Keauhou to Keahole Point and back to Kailua-Kona, finishing on Ali’i Drive. Timewell won bronze in the women’s 50- to 54-yearold division, posting a time of 10:40:45. McCulloch (10:06:58) placed fourth in the the women’s 25- to 29-year-old division and Stebbings (11:21:44) was fourth in the women’s 55- to 59-year-old division.

Team Brown gets Tour Challenge call COMES STANDARD

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Erin Pincott said her curling team is one victory away from making it to The Show. Pincott, Team Brown’s third, was referring to the Meridian Canadian Open, a televised triple-knockout tier 1 Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge event that features a $100,000 prize purse and international competition. “Jennifer Jones, Rachel Homan, being on TV … that kind of thing,” Pincott said. Qualifying for that tournament, which will run from Jan. 14 to Jan. 19 in Yorkton, Sask., became possible last Friday, when the Kamloops Curling Club rink, which also features skip Corryn Brown, lead Ashley Klymchuk and second Dezaray Hawes, received an invite to the tier 2 GSOC Tour Challenge event next month in Nova Scotia. Brown snuck into the tournament based on its 31st-place World Curling Tour ranking. The skip told KTW earlier this year the squad needed to be somewhere near the top 25 to get into the 15-team event, which will feature local teams and rinks invited based on WCT standings competing for a $50,000 prize purse. “We’re pretty excited,” Pincott said. “It feels like we’ve just been building since the start of the year.” Team Brown earned its first victory of the campaign last weekend at the Driving Force Decks Abbotsford Curling Classic Cashspiel, rattling off six straight victories en route to a $4,000 pay day. That money will come in handy for Nova Scotia travel expenses. If the Brown women win the tier 2 Tour Challenge event, which will run from Nov. 5 to Nov. 10 in Pictou County, their trip to Yorkton will be covered by the Canadian Open organizing committee, Pincott said. “The slams in general, there is just a little bit more prestige,” Pincott said. “You have to earn it to get the invite. Bigger prize money and more points on the line.” Brown vaulted into top spot in B.C. Women’s Curling Tour standings after its win in Abbotsford. The top two teams on tour will earn automatic qualification for the Scotties B.C. Women’s Curling Championship, which will run from Jan. 28 to Feb. 2 in Cranbrook. Skip Karla Thompson of Kamloops and her rink are sixth in B.C. Tour standings. The top B.C. women’s team in Canadian Team Ranking System standings will also qualify automatically for provincials. Brown now holds that position and is the 16th-ranked women’s team in the country. Next up for Team Brown is the Kamloops Crown of Curling, which will run from Oct. 25 to Oct. 27 at the KCC.

Chris and Heather Ramsay were unable to make the trip to Kamloops from Saskatoon on Tuesday to watch son Rayce play for his Blazers at Sandman Centre. They did the next best thing. “I know my parents were watching at home,” Rayce said. “They told me they made nachos and everything.” There wasn’t much salsa required in the 23-save performance, but, holy guacamole, did the 18-year-old netminder ever perform well in a 4-0 sour creaming of the Swift Current Broncos. The shutout victory marked the first win of Ramsay’s WHL career. “It felt like I got an A on a group project where I didn’t do much,” Ramsay said. “I owe a lot to my teammates.” Ramsay has been hampered by an ankle injury and had not played since Sept. 22, when he allowed four goals on 32 shots in a 4-3 loss to the hometown Portland Winterhawks. The victory inspires confidence in his health and his teammates. “It’s great for us, having a guy you can lean on,” Blazers’ forward Connor Zary said. “We know Dylan [Garand] is going to play a lot of games, but being confident in having a guy that’s going to come in and put up a performance like that is unreal.” Garand is the Blazers’ No. 1 netminder and, at 17, is one year younger than his backup, Ramsay. “Our team’s been playing so good and we’ve been winning,” said Ramsay, who was cloaked in the Blazers’ shiny player of the game jacket, a 1992 track suit top once worn by associate coach Darryl Sydor.

“That’s all I care about. I know when I get my opportunity, I’m going to do my best to take advantage.” Ramsay was not drafted into the WHL, but was signed by the Blazers following a strong training camp in September of 2017. He has paid dues since then, most recently for the Humboldt Broncos in the Saskatchewan Junior (A) Hockey League. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound leftcatching goaltender played in 27 regular-season games for Humboldt in 2018-2019, posting a .923 save percentage. Ramsay boosted his stock in the post-season, with a .925 save percentage in seven games. “Going back down there, I kind of started as a little bit of a backup and worked my way through and became a starter and I think I’ve learned a lot from that on how to play and be focused in every game,” Ramsay said. “That has helped me a lot this year so far.” Garand seems likely to start this weekend when Kamloops plays host to Vancouver on Friday and Kelowna on Saturday. Game time is 7 p.m. both nights at Sandman Centre. Ramsay will bide his time and wait for another chance to prove the Blazers’ backstops are like chicken or ground beef on nachos — they’re different, but olivem are good. “I’ve been working to get here for a couple years,” Ramsay said. “To come here and be on the team for sure and get the win today, it’s really special. THE STANDINGS B.C. Division standings as of Thursday: Kelowna (6-3-1-0, 13 points), Kamloops (6-4-0-0, 12 points), Vancouver (6-5-0-0, 12 points), Victoria (2-4-1-0, five points), Prince George (2-5-0-1, five points).

Connecting faith with family history research

o get a glimpse of how interested the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is in family history research, all you need to do is check out the mountain in Utah that we tunnelled into in 1965 to build an impenetrable vault of genealogical records. Today, that vault stores the largest collection of genealogical records in the world — and it grows every year. As many people know, family history research is an interesting hobby. Granite Mountain in Utah, however, hints at something more than only a hobby-level interest in family trees, especially considering this monumental effort is a permanent initiative of a church, rather than a family history society. I want to explain that connection between faith and family history research that exists for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as well as the resulting tools our interests make available here in Kamloops. Family history research, although interesting, isn’t something most people are naturally inclined to do. For us, however, it’s inspired by a belief that it enables us to help and serve our family members who have passed into the afterlife without ever having had the opportunity to hear about or accept Jesus Christ. What are those beliefs? The answer to that question starts with temples. In temples, we receive the highest blessings offered by the church. After we attend to receive our own blessings, we can return as often as we like to receive those blessings on behalf of deceased family members and ancestors. This proxy temple work for our ancestors provides them with the opportunity to receive those for themselves blessings in the afterlife — if they choose to accept them. Two particular blessings are important to discuss.

Community

BRIEFS The annual Kamloops Shriners’ Charity Gala will take place on Saturday,

ANDREW LAMB You Gotta Have

FAITH

The first is baptism. We believe baptism is required for entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven. Without it, a person can’t enter that kingdom in the afterlife. This is a problem, though, because throughout history, baptism has been unavailable to the majority of people. That means most of the human race hasn’t had a chance to even choose whether to be baptized. Are the people who didn’t get the chance damned? No. In the temple, we can perform a baptism in their behalf so that, if they want it in the afterlife, they can have it. The second blessing is temple marriage. We call it “sealing.” In temples, men and women are married for all of eternity, rather than only “til death do us part.” This means that family relationships can exist and continue beyond death. If a family didn’t get to have a temple marriage in life, do their family relationships disintegrate at death? No. The living can enter the temple and perform temple marriages on behalf of deceased family members and ancestors. The children of those ancestors can then be sealed to their parents. We truly believe families are meant to last and progress forever. Does temple work take away a person’s ability to choose what religion or family a person wants to be part of in the afterlife? No. It simply provides an option that was previously unavailable.

Oct. 26, at the Colombo Lodge. Shriners provide access to exceptional pediatric care for children with medical needs. Funds raised at the gala go to cover the costs of transporting

They can still choose to accept or reject the work done. Family history research is integral to this work of love done in temples. We can’t perform any of this work if we don’t have complete and verified data about our ancestors. High-quality family history research makes it possible to obtain this data. After we have it, the temple becomes the link between our faith, our family and family history research. In almost any city with a congregation of the church, there will be a Family History Centre. There, you will find free access to FamilySearch website and software and other popular genealogical tools. You will also find staff of volunteer family history consultants who want to sharpen and share their own research skills and the opportunity to network with and learn from other experienced family history researchers in the community. Here in Kamloops, that regularly includes our friends at the Kamloops Family History Society. We invite you to take a tour of our centre, meet our friendly volunteers and find out how you can get started with your own family history research. If you have any concern that we’re going to take your work to our temples, rest easy. We are only permitted and able to take the names of our own ancestors to the temple. Our Family History Centre is a free resource that is available to all members of our community to further their own research. Andrew Lamb is currently serving as a temple and family history work leader at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kamloops. He can be reached by email at andy_lamb30@hotmail.com. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page. Columns should be between 600 and 800 words in length and can be emailed to editor@ kamloopsthisweek.com. Please include a very short bio and a photo.

Malloy

Of all of Dad’s greatest accomplishments, he would say his grandchildren were his finest. During the last weeks of Dad’s life, he spoke earnestly of the importance of love and family. We feel his life was blessed with both. Dad has left to remember him, his beautiful and devoted wife of 60 years Joan, his children Theresa (Chris) and Martin, his grandchildren Amy, Katie, Meaghan and Michaela, his devoted sisters Doreen (Don) and Sue and many nieces, nephews and good friends. He will be remembered for his quick wit, his integrity, his strong work ethic, his deep love for his family and of course, his shot of rye. You were loved and you will be missed. Dad received wonderful care at RIH, Ponderosa Lodge (Rehab) and Trinity Hospice at Overlander. In lieu of flowers, please donate to one of the facilities that cared for him. A celebration of life will take place at a future date.

Prayers will be recited at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Daylin Paul Perry Palmer

Dad was born to Spencer and Evelyn Howie in Kelowna on October 1, 1933. He spent his first 5 years there before Spencer relocated them to Kamloops where dad spent all of his life. Dad married our Mom Joan on August 29, 1959 and had two children. Dad came from a large family and was close to all of them – there were always get-togethers and big dinners. He spent his career in car sales – first with Fisher Bros then to Dayes Mercury and finishing at Syd Smith, retiring in 1994. Dad and Mom had many trips with his sister Anne and brother-in-law Wilf where they had many good laughs and great times. They also spent time travelling in their little motorhome where they enjoyed camping, golfing, reading, 4:00 happy hours and times visiting with their grandchildren. Dad had also been a fierce fan of the Kamloops Blazers – holding a season ticket since they started playing.

Dad’s words to live by: “Life is good, kid. Keep smiling”.

Vernon ‘Harry’ Bryant August 26, 1951 – October 11, 2019

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our wonderful husband, dad, grandfather and friend. Harry was born in Invermere and lived on his grandparents/parents farm in Spillimacheen. He attended small rural schools until Grade 9 and then bused to Invermere where he met and attended school with Shirley. Harry graduated high school and continued onto vocational school for heavy duty mechanics. He began his career with Finning Tractor as a mechanic and moved into sales and then instructing. After Finning, he worked for View Construction and Brentwood. He then started his own very successful business, owning Mack Trucks and clam dump trailers in 1992. He later expanded with rail haul trailer work for CN. Harry always knew the success of the business was due to the great employees and thanked them often. He taught his drivers a lot about working on their own trucks. He had a great respect for his employees, and they repaid that same respect to him and Shirley.

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.

Harry married Shirley and had two great children Tammi and Jarrod. He treasured his life with Shirley and his children. He also cherished his grandchildren. He attended all their functions and sports and was so proud of them.

They had two children Robert (1949) and Judy (1953) before moving to Kelowna in 1958 where they enjoyed the Okanagan life raising their children, picking fruit, travelling and camping with family and friends. Florence and Howard spent many years as leaders of the 2nd Kelowna Boy Scouts where they had a large influence on many young lives. She worked at Safeway for 25 years before retiring and becoming an active driver volunteer, supporter of the United Church, Blue Jays baseball fan and crossworder when not travelling or visiting her family. She was predeceased by her father Anton Shermack (1960), brother Roy Shermack (1962), husband Howard Hornback (1972), mother Myrtle Small (2005), sister Nellie Kremer (2014) and brother Earl Shermack (2015). Florence’s family is thankful for the wonderful care and compassion shown by the nurses, care aides and staff of the Brio Unit at Berwick and a special big thank you to Dr. Miranda DuPreez.

A reception tea will be held in the church, following the cemetery service.

Mom will be remembered and missed by her children Robert (Ardelle) in Oliver and Judy in Kamloops.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the RIH Foundation, 7-W Renal Unit in memory of Hugh would be appreciated.

Florence requested donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Is embalming required if the body’s to be cremated?

“Don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing”

A. No, and embalming isn’t even required if the body is to be buried. For people who wish to say goodbye to their loved one, we offer the Drake Wake. The deceased person looks natural, comfortable, like they’re sleeping on a bed. They’re rarely embalmed. Families seem to love the Drake Wake.

Dearly missed and his love of music and rhythm that he brought into our lives. Nancy, daughter Christy Laniado, grandchildren Ari, Mariah and Ethan. ! !

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM William (Bill) John Mewhort January 3, 1945 - October 11, 2019

Bill was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and teacher. He was kind, caring and generous of his time. His sense of humour and insight helped our family through many challenges. His family was of prime importance in his life. He shared his love of the natural world with his four children through camping, skiing, hunting, cycling, hiking and canoeing. He loved knowledge and gathered it wherever he could, both formally, in his two degrees from UBC and his Chartered Accountant designation, and informally, by always reading books and articles. Bill was able to fix anything. He believed that if others could do something, so could he. He was a respected educator at both the high school and college levels for Business and Computers for 28 years. A pioneer in introducing computers into the Kamloops School District, he also inspired many of his students to enter these fields. Volunteering was of great importance to Bill. Over the years, he volunteered for the Sun Peaks Ski Patrol (13 years), Kamloops Food Bank (including 5 ½ years as treasurer), and, after retirement, for St. John Ambulance. He recently re-certified for his Medical First Responder, scoring well - a source of

pride for him. Other organizations for which he volunteered were many: leader for Beavers and Cubs, treasurer for the South Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (9 years), treasurer for the Aberdeen Community Association and for our Strata Council. Bill leaves many to cherish his memory, including his wife Heather, sons Brad (Michelle), Kent (Denise), Curtis (Thao) and daughter Anna (Will), as well as three grandchildren whom he adored Florence, Isla and Charlie. He was well-loved and well-respected by his extended family and friends. A private family service will be held in the near future, in accordance with Bill’s wishes. In lieu of flowers (family allergies), Bill would appreciate donations in his memory to be made to the Kamloops Food Bank, the Kamloops Branch of St. John Ambulance, or the ICCHA Wish Fund for Cardiac Care at Royal Inland Hospital. On-line condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Joanna Sanderson November 5, 1971 – October 20, 2018 You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her, or you can be full of the love that you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty And turn your back, or you can do what she would want: Smile, open your eyes, love and go on

Alesha (Fell) McKinnon On Sunday, September 29, 2019 Alesha (Fell) McKinnon passed away at home at the age of 35. Alesha was born on January 27, 1984 in Fort St. John, BC and graduated from Kamloops Westsyde High School in 2002. She was an artist who loved running, cycling, family, friends and living life to the fullest. After graduating, Alesha and a few friends embarked on a year-long adventure to Australia. Upon returning home, Alesha enrolled in the UBC Okanagan, discovering a love for engineering. That passion led to further studies at Camosun College in Victoria. It is there that she met her husband and love of her life Ian McKinnon. Alesha ultimately graduated with her degree in civil engineering from UBC in Vancouver in 2013. Alesha and Ian lived and worked in Vancouver, where they enjoyed life together as young professionals. Alesha and Ian were married on September 2, 2016 and on January 5, 2018 were blessed with the birth of their baby boy Van. In December, 2018, Ian and Alesha moved to Victoria to pursue their engineering careers and raise a family. Alesha had just secured a position with the District of Saanich when she became ill with what was eventually diagnosed as a rare form of kidney cancer. As difficult as the cancer was, Alesha endured it with her trademark grace, dignity and kindness to those around her. Alesha’s family would like to thank Dr. Kostyniak, Dr. Stigant, Dr. Kinahan, Dr. Maskey, Dr. Griffiths, Dr. Atwell and the numerous other doctors, nurses and support staff that tried so hard to keep Alesha with us. Alesha was touched by the kindness shown by the nursing staff at the RJH’s ICU, renal and dialysis units and the kind hospital porters. Left to mourn with Ian and Van are Alesha’s immediate family: mother Shirley and father Mike (Gerry), sister Karlene (Rod), nephews Cohen and Raylan and her grandmother Lorraine. Alesha will be sorely missed by her mother and father-in-law Carol and Barney McKinnon, sister-in-law Lana (Chase) and their children Holden and Hunter, along with numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and cherished friends. Alesha loved you all so very much. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

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