Ancestral remains are five centuries old Crews working on the West Victoria Street reconstruction project this past summer discovered ancestral remains of the Secwépemc people. Now that the remains have been tested and identified, a reburial will take place at the Tk’emlups cemetery next to St. Joseph’s church on Nov. 1. DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE

Remains discovered this past summer during reconstruction of West Victoria Street downtown were that of an arthritic mother in her 50s dating to before Columbus landed in the Americas. The remains — including rib bones, a femur and shoulder blade — will be reburied in the Tk’emlups te Secwépemc reserve cemetery next month. Tk’emlups language and culture manager Ted Gottfriedson said the band has learned the bones date back 545 years and belonged to a woman between the ages of 50 and 59 who stood about five feet tall, gave birth to at least one child, was righthanded and had osteoarthritis.

No cause of death was determined. Tk’emlups Chief Rosanne Casimir said no other artifacts were found around the remains when they were unearthed on June 26 at a depth of about three feet near the Budget Brake and

Muffler building on the downtown route. Gottfriedson explained the historical significance of the find. “The first Europeans to move in here was like 1810, 1811,” Gottfriedson said. “This was about

300 years earlier that she had passed away. “When she had passed away, this would have been a time when we were at our peak for population, for our culture, for everything. This would have been high times for our people.” Asked if anything could be gleaned from the discovery, Gottfriedson said it reiterates the prevalence of the Secwépemc people throughout the valley, a reminder that previous to living on reserves, First Nations were “everywhere.” Now that the remains have been

tested and identified, a reburial will take place at the Tk’emlups cemetery next to St. Joseph’s church on Nov. 1. The 9:30 a.m. ceremony will include song and prayer and be followed by a feast. “We are approaching this as a traditional funeral for one of our own,” Gottfriedson said, noting it is important to rebury the deceased woman. He said it is “very taboo” in Secwépemc culture to walk on a grave and pointed to a lack of grass at the Tk’emlups cemetery, intentionally not planted because mow-

ing over graves would be considered disrespectful. “We don’t want her to be stepped over,” Gottfriedson said of the reburial. “She’s been driven over. For me, personally, I just think of all the times I’ve driven over her and how awful that is for me to have done that. So, we’re going to take her and we’re going to bury her there. “Obviously, those are her descendants. She’s with family. She won’t be disrespected.” T’kemlups praised the City of Kamloops for its part in handling the ancestral discovery.

Gottfriedson cited the city’s contractor for stopping work immediately, the hiring of security to protect the remains and the provision of access for a ceremony during afternoon rush hour. “It’s really terrible for us to step over a grave, well, never mind digging them up,” he said. “It’s one of the worst things we can do, so we have to have a ceremony to help her in our way. It was so cool, the excavator operator asked to be involved. It was very powerful.” City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin noted the city and Tk’emlups began working on archeological protocols about two years ago. Darren Crundwell, the city’s capital projects manager, expects the protocols will change practices in the field.

PAC BUSINESS CASE RELEASED JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Building a $70-million performing arts centre in downtown Kamloops may not cost taxpayers an extra dime, according to a new business case commissioned by the Kamloops Centre for the Arts Society. In a 50-page report released to city council on Tuesday, the business case — independently conducted by KPMG — outlines ways to pay for the facility and how the facility should operate. The business case was the main sticking point for a group that opposed the arts centre during the failed 2015 referendum, when the proposal was expected to increase property taxes for more than two decades. Depending on fundraising and provincial and federal government subsidies, the business case notes the city would be on the hook for between $30 to $45 million in capital costs and states that: “If the city’s borrowing does not exceed $45 million, there is no anticipated impact to municipal tax rates as a result of the project.” That is due to the Tournament Capital Centre being nearly paid off. Additional costs to the city for the arts centre bid at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue include $3 million in site servicing for underground utility movements and earthwork to meet structural requirements and $703,000 in operating costs in the first year, decreasing to $383,000 by the fifth year.

The report notes that annual operating contributions from the city are expected to decrease over time, with “initial contributions lower than those provided to other municipal recreation facilities.” Comparatively, the city’s operational contributions last year to the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC) was $1.3 million and to the Sandman Centre was $752,000. City CAO David Trawin said site servicing would be council decision, but he believes there is money in reserves that could cover the costs, noting that is, ultimately, a council decision. “The operating costs above revenues would probably come from taxation,” he said. “It might be worth noting that after five years, the subsidy would be about what the tax subsidy is for Westsyde Pool [about $600,000].” “I think it can be funded without a tax increase if we use the debt that is coming off for TCC and other projects,” he said. The business case also makes recommendations on how the facility should operate. The city should retain ownership, but establish a city-owned subsidiary to independently operate and maintain the facility, with surpluses reinvested into the facility. Western Canada Theatre and Kamloops Symphony Orchestra would be primary users. Also recommended is an external board, including user groups, businesses and community leaders provides oversight. The proposed $70-million facility would include two theatres and a black-

box theatre. Costs include $50 million for direct construction costs and $20 million for construction and other fees. Construction costs include: $47.7 million for the main building including 70 stalls of underground parking, equipment at $1.7 million and grounds enhancements at $600,000. Architectural and consultant fees are pegged at $5.9 million, with construction oversight at $2.5 million, theatre equipment at $3.4 million and furniture, fixtures and equipment at $3.2 million. Five-million dollars is also included as contingency funds. Construction of the performing-arts centre is expected to generate a onetime economic impact of $70.7 million to 565 full-time jobs and government revenues estimated at $9.2 million during planning, design and construction. Once it is up and running, the project is estimated to have an annual economic impact of $2.9 million, 31 full-time jobs and generate $330,000 in government revenues. The proposed timeline is to have project approvals in place by spring 2020, with design work to follow and construction beginning in the summer of 2021. The arts centre would be completed by spring of 2023 for a fall 2023 opening. “Timing is subject to decision making and funding availability,” the report notes. “Efforts could be made to accelerate timelines where possible.” Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to have city staff review the business case.

Liberals retain gov’t, McLeod holds riding ‘I feel like I let you down,’ Lake tells Liberal supporters, saying defeat marks ‘likely’ end of lengthy political career From A1

Nationally, the Liberals won the election, but have a minority government, their 157 seats 13 short of majority status. The Conservatives won 121 seats, followed by the Bloc Quebecois (32 seats), NDP (24 seats) and Green (three seats). Former Liberal attorney-general Jodi Wilson-Raybould was the lone Independent elected. The Liberals entered the election with 177 seats (a loss of 20), the Conservatives entered with 95 seats (a gain of 26), the Bloc entered with 10 (a gain of 22 seats), the NDP entered with 39 (a loss of 15) and the Greens entered with two seats (a gain of one seat). The Conservatives received the most votes nationally, tallying 6.16 million ballots (34 per cent), while the Liberals trailed with 5.92 million votes (33 per cent). Shortly after 9:30 p.m. on Monday, Lake walked into McLeod’s Seymour Street campaign office with foggy specs to offer congratulations. He called it a “great win” and thanked volunteers. “You had me worried,” McLeod told Lake, noting his political resume and calling him “big competition.” “I think we tried to keep things respectful,” she said.

lost two elections in a row to the Liberals, but McLeod said she saw victory in the party’s seat increase. “You say it’s a loss, I say it’s a win,” she said. “Again, if you look at what, after 2015, people were predicting it would be years and years and years before things would change. I see a gain of 20-plus seats, a return in the Maritimes, so I see it as a win.” Moments earlier, Lake addressed supporters at the Delta Hotel on Victoria Street. “I feel like I let you down,” he said. “You know what, we worked hard and what I’ve learned in politics is that the voter is never wrong.” He urged his supporters to get behind McLeod as she represents the riding and ensure she fights for the various interests in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo. Egli told KTW she is sad to have lost, but wasn’t really expecting to win. “I think we did really well and we were against two top people,” Egli said, noting the strong competition in Lake and McLeod. Currie finished fourth, but managed to dramatically boost his party’s vote share from 2015 — to 13 per cent from 3.6 per cent. Currie was asked how the result failed to live up to the noise being made by local Green campaign, which had volunteers boldly predicting victory on social media. “I have no idea. We did everything we could,” Currie said. “Climate change was a major issue we heard about, but it seems like Canadians are content with what they have.” The People’s Party was a bust across the nation, with leader Maxime Bernier losing his Quebec seat and the party garnering only 1.6 per cent of the national vote. Locally, candidate Ken Finlayson mirrored that percentage, at 1.5 per cent.

Green campaign achievesFederal Election 2019 momentum, not results #elxn43 – Oct. 21, 2019

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It looked like St. Patrick’s Day inside Red Collar on Monday night, but the revelrous mood was tempered somewhat with frustration and disappointment. About 100 people were dressed in green and drinking beer, but red and blue were the dominant colours on the election map displayed on the TV in the corner of the Lansdowne Street bar, election-night headquarters for the local Green campaign. Candidate Iain Currie looked strong in the lead-up to the vote, but his sputter became obvious as soon as local polls began reporting. The campaign raised exponentially more money than any other Green effort in the riding’s history and Currie’s supporters were boldly predicting victory on social media in the final weeks of the campaign — actual victory, not just a step toward it. By the time all the ballots were counted, Currie garnered slightly more than 12 per cent of the riding’s vote, good for fourth place behind Conservative Cathy McLeod, Liberal Terry Lake and Cynthia Egli, the NDP’s third shot at lining up someone to run. The results had not materialized. What happened? “I have no idea,” Currie said moments after addressing his assembled supporters. “We did everything we could. Climate change was a major issue we heard about, but it seems like Canadians are content with what they have.” Currie said the confidence was not posturing. “I don’t think there’s anything I would have done differently,” he

said. “In every possible metric we can measure, we did well — except final vote tally.” It was not all bad news for the Greens. With Currie front and centre, the party tripled its vote count in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding and increased fundraising an estimated 40-fold. Currie’s run was bolstered early when he scooped veteran Green campaign manager Jordan Bober to lead his effort. Speaking at Red Collar on Monday, Bober praised Currie’s determination and said he thinks it will pay dividends in future elections. “The votes we’ve received today are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of motivation,” Bober said.

“I know that for every person who voted Green today, there were two who thought hard about it. One day we will get those votes — and we will win.” As for his future in politics, Currie said he will weigh his options in the coming months. “This was one of the best things I’ve ever done,” he said. “I connected with people in this community in a way I never thought I would.” Currie said he sees the momentum building locally. “We’ve got a core of passionate people who are motivated to get deeply involved in the campaign,” he said. “So, yes. It’s an essential first step.”

STAFF REPORTER

On Monday night, for the first time since 2004, the New Democrats had to settle for third place in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo, but rookie politician Cynthia Egli isn’t disappointed with the results. Egli, who amassed 13.7 per cent of the vote, told KTW she is disappointed that she lost, but noted winning was a long shot. “I think we did really well and we were against two top people,” said Egli, noting the strong competition in Liberal candidate Terry Lake, a former mayor and MLA, and now four-time Conservative MP Cathy McLeod. Egli entered the fray with just four weeks left in the campaign — having put her name forward after two other acclaimed NDP candidates withdrew from the race. The NDP has placed second to the Conservatives in the previous

four federal elections. Egli said she has learned plenty from her first political campaign and could see herself running again in the future. “I might be. I came into this [campaign] doing this as a favour for the NDP and trying my hand at it and I ended up liking it way more than I thought I would, so you never know,” Egli said. She said she may consider running in the next provincial election, which is slated to be held in October 2021. Oct. 31, 2019 Looking at the minority government situation that has unfolded in Ottawa, Egli said she is hopeful NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and his 23 MPs will be able to work with the Liberal government on issues of affordability and pharmacare. “He’s the leader and he’s going to have to decide when he gets there, but I think it’s positive,”she said, noting it would have been nice to see the NDP pick up a few more seats.

VOTERS’ WORK ONLY CONTINUES

he election results are in and we can now try to shake the hangover of the non-stop political indignation and accusations that characterized our federal election campaign. It was an election that Justin Trudeau described as the dirtiest, nastiest campaign ever, rife with disinformation (that’s the political word for lies). Andrew Sheer railed against the Liberals, warning of higher taxes, fewer jobs, and less money in everyone’s pockets. The Liberals raised the social cost of a Conservative government, painting it with the brush of racism, intolerance and greed. In truth, neither of those parties managed to escape unscathed by accusations of racism, dishonesty and just plain meanness. In the latter days of the campaign, as polls started fraying the nerves of the party elites, both parties turned their attention to the NDP, alternating between open threats and mealymouthed cajoling in anticipation of a minority government. And the NDP was certainly not blameless. It took to attacking the Green Party with accusations that the Greens would “sell-out” to the Conservatives. Besides being tiresome, the degradation of the standards of behavior in politics presents another, very real danger. It breeds a cynicism that, if embraced, runs the risk of having us believe all politicians are the same — that they change once they take office. Charles de Gaulle encapsulated that phenomenon when he observed that “in order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant.” But that isn’t always true. It’s frequently not. That’s where the electorate has a responsibility. Once the election hangover fades, our work really just begins. It’s our job to pay attention to the candidates who are now in power and watch — not just what they say, but what they do and how they vote. We need to sort out the public servants from the self-serving politicians.

Blue dynasty rolls on

or an idea of just how strong the Conservatives are in Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo, consider this statistic: Cathy McLeod was re-elected on Monday in a landslide victory as she garnered 44.7 per cent of the vote in the riding. Nobody else was even close. Liberal Terry Lake was second, with 27.3 per cent of the vote, followed by the NDP’s Cynthia Egli (13.7 per cent) and Green candidate Iain Currie (12.1 per cent). But McLeod’s vote percentage was third-best in her four election victories. She pulled more support in 2011 (52.24 per cent) and 2008 (46.16 per cent). In 2015, McLeod was in a real fight, winning up the middle with 35.25 per cent of the vote, edging New Democrat Bill Sundhu (30.77 per cent) and Liberal Steve Powrie (30.41 per cent). Even before McLeod arrived, her predecessor, the underwhelming Betty Hinton, dominated at the polls under the Canadian Alliance and Conservative banners, winning by 20, 12 and nine per cent in her three election triumphs in 2000, 2004 and 2006. In the 21st century, the Conservatives in this riding are the New England Patriots and there appears to be no end to the dynasty as it chugs along even as its parent party stumbles nationally. Kamloops is a riding in which voters choose a colour and stick to it for a long time, as 20-year NDP MP Nelson Riis (exiled in 2000 by Hinton) can attest. The good news for the

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS Conservatives, Greens, Liberals and New Democrats locally is that they will be getting some money back from government. Legislation dictates that, federally, parties get 50 per cent of expenses reimbursed if they garner at least two per cent of the vote nationally and in ridings in which they get at least five per cent of the vote. Local riding associations get a 60 per cent rebate if their candidates hit 10 per cent at the polls. Where does this colour-coded election leave Canada? Well, in a situation not unlike 1993, 1979, 1971 or any other election year in which regional strengths were evident. A minority government usually means compromise — and that is not a bad thing. Contrary to the doom and gloom I hear from various factions predicting another election soon or campaigning for Western separation or spreading fear about large tax cuts under a LiberalNDP marriage, history shows much gets done when parties

need to work together. And I see NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh as the best possible person in a position to get that stuff done with the Liberals. Consider the election of two days ago. We voted on that day precisely because of legislation (fixed election dates) passed in the House of Commons in 2007 during the Stephen Harper minority government of the day. Under Lester Pearson’s two minority governments from 1963 to 1968, an astounding amount of work was accomplished. Created in those five years was universal health care, the Canada Pension Plan, the Canada Assistance Plan and the Canada Student Loans Plan. And the MPs still had time to unify the nation’s armed forces, slap the Air Canada monicker on the then-national airline and create the Maple Leaf flag. A minority government need not be a political bogeyman and, indeed, is what we would likely get under any form of proportional representation. We tell our kids to work out their differences; so, too should our elected representatives. Be it a coalition, an agreement with a party for support on confidence motions or simply a case-by-case approach to legislation, minority governments can be stable, as we have seen for more than two years in B.C. As many politicians have said on election nights (usually after a defeat), the voter is never wrong. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

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.

DON’T WAIT — AND DON’T BUTT IN LINE Editor: To those people who do not like waiting ages on West Victoria Street/Summit Connector to cross the river, it is terrible of you to butt in line by turning left at Mission Flats Road, turning around and skipping ahead in line. To those of you trying to paint waiting as virtuous, I suspect Kamloops has an anti-idling bylaw. If so, could you all be ticketed? A defence that you have to wait is not valid. Recently, I drove down the connector, past Mission Flats Road and continued toward downtown. I then turned around at one of those businesses in the construction zone with the special entry signs, turned around and proceeded across the river via Overlanders Bridge. There was no lineup of vehicles. By selecting a different route, I did not have to wait to cross the river and I did this without butting in. I call this a good driving practice. Being part of an easily avoidable traffic jam does not strike me as a good driving practice and, as I noted, may even be ticketable. Your mileage may vary. Not idling will improve it.

While Cathy McLeod coasted to victory over Terry Lake and Cynthia Egli battled Iain Currie for third spot, a trio of candidates finished at the bottom of the seven candidate ballot locally. Ken Finlayson, the People’s Party candidate, finished fifth, garnering 1,123 votes for 1.6 per cent of the vote. Nationally, the party managed 1.5 per cent of the vote, with leader Maxime Bernier losing his seat in Quebec. “It looks like every election we’ve had since Confederation,” Finlayson told KTW. “We’re guided by that Montreal-Toronto corridor.

democracy,” he said. “To be honest, I have no idea where I was going to fall. I just said the things I had to say and the things I believe in. Whatever the outcome, I accept the result.” Finlayson was previously a contestant to replace Mantracker on the eponymous TV show, but failed.

Asked what was harder, applying for the show or running a federal campaign, he replied that Mantracker was a “walk in the park.” Meanwhile, Kamloops voters haven’t seen the last of Kira Cheeseborough. The federal Animal Protection Party candidate, who placed

sixth in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding, said she is looking forward to running in future elections, including the next municipal and provincial elections. In future runs for office, the 25-year-old university student plans to begin campaigning months ahead of time and recruit more volunteers. Cheeseborough amassed less than a half per cent of the vote, with 317 ballots cast in her name in

Monday’s federal election. Though the numbers were small, Cheeseborough said she was “thrilled” to see there’s a small contingent of constituents interested in her platform and message. The 2019 federal election was the first time Cheeseborough has ran for office and she said she did it without a campaign manager and without spending money on election signs or advertisements. “Without having as much publicity as some of the other candidates from the main parties, I was still able to appeal to and reach 317 people and I think that’s incredible,” she said. Cheeseborough watched the election results roll in from home, hosting a small get-together with party

supporters and campaign volunteers. At one point, an apparent glitch on a couple of poll tracking websites showed Cheeseborough in second place with some 2,000 votes. Though thrilling to see, she told KTW she knew it was a mistake. “It was the highlight of my night,” she said, adding it gave her a taste of the intensity of being in the running. Cheeseborough said her proudest moment on the campaign trail was her performance at the Oct. 3 debate on the environment. Looking back on the campaign, Cheeseborough said she feels she did the best she could given the resources she had. Calls by KTW to Communist Party candidate Peter Kerek were not returned by press deadline.

Minority government means Trudeau’s team will need to pair up with NDP, Conservatives or Bloc to get legislation passed ANDY BLATCHFORD

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Liberals won more seats on Monday than any other party, but came up short in their effort to return to Parliament with another majority mandate. Unlike in Justin Trudeau’s first term, this time the Liberal prime minister will have to strike agreements with political rivals as he tries to win their support to pass legislation and, in some cases, survive confidence votes in the House of Commons. First, some math. Here are the seat totals for each party following the election. • Liberals: 157 seats, 13 shy of the 170 necessary for a majority in the 338-seat House of Commons. • Conservatives: 121 • Bloc Quebecois: 32 • New Democrats: 24 • Greens: 3 • Independent: 1 The Liberals will have to find common ground with opposition parties to avoid the risk of triggering another election or giving the Conservatives a chance to try to form government. Deals could be part of a formal arrangement with another party — which Trudeau does not seem to be seeking at this point — or on a case-bycase basis. Here’s a list of policy areas and potential scenarios: •••

LIBERALS AND NEW DEMOCRATS

The New Democrats are the Liberals’ most likely allies. The parties, for instance, might be able to agree on moves in shared areas of interest such as housing and the environment. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has laid out key priorities he said he will fight for when considering whether he’s willing to work with the Liberals. They include building a national pharmacare program, investing in affordable housing, waiving interest payments on student loans, slashing cellphone bills, addressing climate change by ending fossil-fuel subsidies and investing in clean, renewable energy and forcing the “super wealthy” to pay a new tax. “We’re not going to negotiate any of those things today and we’re certainly not going to negotiate those things in the media,” Singh said Tuesday when asked about his parameters for talks with the Liberals. “We’re going to fight within those conditions with everything we have to ensure Canadians know that we’re in it for them.”

An alienated West? CANADIAN PRESS REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says the federal election results confirm there’s a fire of frustration burning in Western Canada and it’s time for a new deal with Ottawa. Moe has renewed his calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to cancel the federal carbon tax, to rework the equalization formula and to get oil pipelines built to open up international markets. The Liberals secured a minority mandate in Monday’s vote, but did not retain a single seat in Saskatchewan or Alberta. Moe likened his plan to a fire

Singh was also asked if he would seek a broader deal with the Liberals or go issue-by-issue. He replied that “everything’s on the table.” There are plenty of potential Liberal-NDP sticking points, however. The parties have considerable work to do to narrow the chasm between their positions when it comes to the Liberals’ controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, the scale of investments towards a national drug plan and electoral reform. The NDP committed to spend $10 billion per year towards pharmacare, while the Liberals pledged $6 billion over four years as a down payment. Singh was asked Tuesday if he would be willing to soften his opposition to the Trans Mountain project in exchange for more Liberal support towards national pharmacare. He declined to go into detail about any talks, saying only that he will continue to oppose the pipeline expansion. On reforming the electoral system, Singh said he intends to push for proportional representation, a system that would have given his party more seats in Monday’s vote. The Liberals broke a 2015 vow to introduce electoral reform, including a pledge to abandon Canada’s first past the post system. •••

LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES

The Liberals and Conservatives have long been bitter foes in a rivalry that translated into personal attacks during the campaign. Newly elected Liberal Steven Guilbeault, a well-known environmentalist who won his Montreal riding, said Monday after the election that he doubted his party could work with the Conservatives.

extinguisher and said it’s up to Trudeau to douse western Canadian frustration. The premier, who said he’s a frustrated federalist, also rejects criticism that his own tone is stoking division. “The path our federal government has been on the last four years has divided our nation,” Moe said in a statement Tuesday. “Last night’s election results showed the sense of frustration and alienation in Saskatchewan is now greater than it has been at any point in my lifetime.” The Conservatives won 14 out of 14 seats in Saskatchewan and all but one of the 34 in Alberta.

There are, however, key areas where Trudeau’s Liberals will likely be able to find agreement with Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives. The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion would bring crude oil to an ocean port from Alberta, the Conservatives’ heartland of voter support. The project would help boost the provincial economy and its oil sector. The Tories’ main complaint about the pipeline is that the Liberals haven’t expanded it yet. The Liberals and Conservatives could also work together to ratify the updated North American free trade deal among Canada, the United States and Mexico. •••

LIBERALS AND BLOC QUEBECOIS

There’s potential for the Liberals and the pro-independence Bloc Quebecois to agree on issues under the broader themes of the environment and social policy. Bloc Quebecois Leader YvesFrancois Blanchet would almost certainly seek more powers for Quebec from the federation in exchange for his support. During the campaign, Trudeau was asked if he would be willing to work with the Bloc if he found himself leading a minority Parliament. Trudeau sidestepped the question and underscored his support for national unity and said Quebecers, like many Canadians, were talking to him about the environment. On Tuesday, Blanchet told reporters his party will have plenty of leverage in any talks with the Liberals, though he declined to provide specifics. Blanchet said his party would not seek to make Parliament ineffective as a way to build a case for Quebec sovereignty.

Former Kamloops bishop Exner testifies at trial against the Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Kamloops, alleging that Molon raped her 70 to 100 times in 1976 and 1977 when she was teaching at Our Lady of Perpetual Help school in North Kamloops. The diocese has admitted vicarious liability for Molon’s conduct, but the scope of the liability is at issue. Anderson has alleged Exner, who was bishop at the time, was aware of a pattern of sexual misconduct involving Molon, but negligent in how he handled it. Exner is not a named defendant in the case. Molon, 88, who suffers from dementia and lives in Ontario, has filed court documents denying the allegations. Exner invited Molon to join the Kamloops diocese in 1974. “I was very short of clergy and I

JENNIFER SALTMAN

VANCOUVER SUN

The former bishop of Kamloops said a shortage of clergy and a lack of evidence to substantiate “vague” rumours about sexual misconduct prevented him from removing a priest from his diocese in the 1970s. Adam Exner, who also served as archbishop of Vancouver from 1991 until 2004, testified in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver that it wasn’t until Rosemary Anderson approached him in Kamloops with sexual assault allegations against Father Erlindo Molon in early 1977 that he could take action. “Then I had hard facts that I could put much more pressure on him to accept help,” said Exner, 90. Anderson, 70, has filed a lawsuit

engaged him and he did quite well. People loved him. He was very personable — he would attract people and people were attracted to him,” Exner said. The rumours of misconduct began shortly after Molon arrived and became active in the parish. Exner described the rumours as vague insinuations that circulated among parishioners and the clergy. When asked if he could have known about them as early as 1975, Exner said he did not remember. “He was misbehaving, he was a playboy,” Exner said, conceding under cross examination that Molon was also likely a predator. When Exner brought the rumours to Molon, he said the priest didn’t deny them. “He would just shrug them off

and laugh,” Exner said. Exner said he urged Molon to seek professional help multiple times, but nothing beyond that. “I needed him too badly. And, secondly, if I removed him, I would have had all the parish on my back. They loved him,” Exner said. Anderson has testified that the alleged assaults began in late 1976, and took place at the rectory and her apartment. She said Molon took advantage of her and breached the boundaries of the priest-parishioner relationship. “Obviously, I confronted him and I got the same answer as he always gave: ‘I’m human.’ That was what he’d always say when confronted with rumours,” Exner said. Exner said Molon refused to get help, but he was allowed to continue

preaching until he was suspended around February 1977. After his suspension, Exner said he had no idea where Molon ended up. He believed Molon was still living in Kamloops and that a family was “harbouring” him. Exner said that at the time, he did the best he could to deal with Molon. “I had to balance my judgment — what is more harmful, what is less dangerous? I did what I thought was less dangerous,” he said. Exner conceded, under questioning from Anderson’s lawyer, Sandra Kovacs, that if he had removed Molon from his post earlier, Anderson would not have been put in the situation that she was. “It wouldn’t have happened,” Exner said. “But hindsight is always so much easier than foresight.”

Five arrested, charged in gang-related 2018 murder Troy Gold went missing last October, remains later located TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Extra security was in place in a Kamloops courtroom on Monday as two of five men charged with murder in connection with a 2018 gang-related slaying made their first appearances since being arrested on the weekend. Four deputy sheriffs stood guard as Nathan Townsend, 23, and Jayden Eustache, 24, appeared separately for brief appearances before a justice of the peace. Both men agreed to remain behind bars for the time being and return to court next week. Townsend and Eustache, along with Darian Rohel, 44, John Wade Daviss, 38, and Sean Scurt, 46, are charged with second-degree murder in connection with the October 2018 death of 35-year-old Troy Gold. Gold was reported missing on Oct. 3, 2018. Within days, police announced they believed he had been the victim of foul play. His remains were found weeks later in the Lac du Bois area north of Kamloops. In court on Monday, defence lawyer Bob Claus, representing Townsend, said he had not received any paperwork from the Crown, despite the fact his client had been in custody for more than two days. Claus set Townsend’s next appearance for Oct. 28. “We’re trying to get some disclosure between now and then,” he said. “There’s absolutely nothing. I’ve not got a copy of the information or a narrative.” Townsend and Eustache were wearing street clothes in court, presumably what they were wearing at the time of their arrests on Friday. In the days after Gold’s disappearance, police could be seen scouring a Brocklehurst home belonging to Townsend’s relatives. Gold had been involved in the city’s drug trade and had a lengthy criminal history himself, including a sentence in a federal penitentiary for manslaughter after stabbing a man to death on

A Tk’emlups te Secwepemc councillor says between seven and 10 more police officers are needed to cover a growing rural area that includes Tk’emlups, Sun Rivers, Sun Peaks, Tobiano and other outlying communities, but the province doesn’t appear to be doling out extra resources. During a community-tocommunity forum with the city on Monday, Tk’emlups Coun. Jeanette Jules said the Kamloops Rural RCMP detachment has the largest catchment area in British Columbia, an area that also includes Loon Lake, McLure, Paul Lake, Skeetchestn, Whispering Pines and Pinantan.

She said a consultant in Ottawa assessed policing needs and recommended a minimum of seven and an optimum of 10 more officers be added to the six currently on staff. “When they have to go out and do a call and they only have two officers on shift, that takes all the resources,” Jules told KTW. “There is nobody here. Then somebody from the city has to come over.” Kamloops council has recently been advocating for additional resources, in light of the city picking up the majority of the tab for its policing (90 per cent) and those officers dispatched elsewhere. When the city’s police officers are tied up helping rural com-

Band to resume fuel management KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Tk’emlups te Secwepemc will resurrect traditional burning practices along the river this fall. Coun. Jeanette Jules said the band will burn later this autumn at Indian point (where the North and South Thompson rivers meet, across from Riverside Park) and near the Halston Connector for a period of about two days. Kamloops Fire Rescue had taken control of the band’s fuel management as part of a fire

agreement with the city. However, Jules, in notifying the city on Monday at a community-to-community forum, said the area under KFR’s watch has been left to grow thick and has become a fire hazard. “There’s places down there you can’t even walk,” Jules told KTW. “You used to be able to walk all the way in there. The weeds are taller than people in some places. The overgrowth, it’s really, really thick. And then, a lot of the deadfall. All of those

munities, Kamloops ratepayers are left holding the bill. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian pointed to growth in the outlying areas and said policing is the largest investment for taxpayers. “The province should be ponying back to us the amount of time people are looking into matters outside of our own jurisdiction,” Christian said. Jules has pushed the federal and provincial governments on the matter, but continues to await a response. She said the band will continue to lobby and will meet with communities attended by the rural detachment. “This is a high priority for us, the health and safety of everyone,” she said.

need to be taken care of. It’s not taken care of. It really is a big fire hazard for us.” The band has been criticized in the past for negatively impacting air quality as a result of its burning practices. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian noted, however, that residents have come to understand the importance of fuel management since the wildfires of 2017 and 2018. He advised the band to consult a meteorologist prior to burning, in order to ensure optimal venting.

Defence lawyer Richard Kaiser said in court that Fehr has led “an exemplary life” in the years since his conviction. Fehr’s firearms ban came up during his RCMP application process. B.C.

Charges stayed against First Nations pair TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

After a protracted prosecution spanning more than five years, the Crown has stayed all charges against a First Nations couple caught selling deer meat in 2013. Jay Coutts, 52, and Farah Palmer, 46, were initially convicted in 2016 following a trial in Kamloops

provincial court. Both were found guilty of trafficking in wildlife — once in Cache Creek and once in Vancouver — while Coutts was convicted of an additional count of hunting during prohibited hours. The couple was caught selling deer meat to an undercover conservation officer. The undercover operation by the B.C. Conservation Officer

Service was dubbed “Project Gator.” During trial, prosecutors described Coutts and Palmer’s operation as “an ongoing business.” The couple never denied selling deer meat. In an interview with KTW in 2014, Coutts said he makes his living selling wildlife meat — something he maintained he had the right to do.

“I’m being persecuted for being Indian — for doing my job,” he said at the time. “How is it possible that I can sell the hide, but I can’t sell the meat?” Coutts said Aboriginals are allowed to hunt “for food and sustenance” in Canada and argued that should mean he is allowed to sell deer meat. “My rights existed

before 1800 and they still exist today,” he said. “To my society, it’s integral.” In 2014, Coutts and Fara Palmer filed a three-page notice of constitutional question, which cited a number of prominent Canadian cases dealing with native legal issues, including the Tsilhqot’in decision. Coutts and Palmer, who were self-represented through much

of their legal ordeal, argued post-trial that First Nations people have the right to carry on as their ancestors did prior to European contact. During an earlier hearing, Palmer argued those rights allow First Nations people to “harvest, barter and trade in wildlife,” and said laws restricting such guarantees are “of no force and effect.”

Courts and Palmer had previously hired a lawyer in an unsuccessful attempt to have their charges dismissed due to delay. Charges against Coutts and Palmer were stayed last week when the Crown concluded there was not a likelihood of conviction following the post-trial applications and arguments by Coutts and Palmer.

Pair charged in truck case TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two people have been charged in connection with a bizarre incident last week that saw the owner of a stolen flatbed truck hanging onto his vehicle as it sped north from Brocklehurst to Westsyde at DERRICK speeds police say exceeded 100 PEARSON km/h. Crystal Rae Dorrington, 37, and Derrick Ronald Pearson, 32, are each facing charges of assault with a weapon, dangerous driving and possession of stolen property. According to court documents, the allegations stem from an Oct. 16 incident involving a truck belonging to Francis Payette. Police have said they arrested two people following a series of incidents that day. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said a stolen truck hit a BC Hydro pole in Brocklehurst and collided with three other vehicles in the city before crashing through a fence and catching fire in a field north of Westsyde Speaking to KTW following the incident, Payette said he received a phone call from a friend who had spotted his stolen truck in Brocklehurst. Payette said he drove to the area and knocked on the truck’s window, advising the two people inside to get out. They did not. Payette said, so he held onto a rack on the back of the truck as it sped through the city. Dorrington and Pearson have been in custody since their arrest on on Oct. 23. Both are slated to appear in Kamloops provincial court this week for bail hearings.

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A night of heated discussion surrounding issues with North Kamloops’ marginalized population saw many people expressing frustration with a complicated situation that has no clear solution. The North Shore Business Improvement Association hosted a community safety forum at the United Way’s Xchange office on Tranquille Road last Thursday night, at which many attendees expressed issues with loitering, public drinking, drug use and vandalism around the Tranquille business corridor. Kamloops RCMP Supt. Syd Lecky and Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian addressed the crowd, stressing their understanding of people’s frustrations, but didn’t offer much in terms of solutions aside from the importance of implementing crime prevention measures and the need for a continued, collective effort from multiple social agencies to address underlying issues of homelessness. The limitations of police in being able to effectively address some of the issues was also stressed. A longtime North Shore business owner named Sue, who did not wish to give her last name, told KTW she learned a lot from the meeting, but wasn’t sure it was all helpful. “I learned that we shouldn’t call the police if someone is on our property, making it difficult for my customers to shop in my store,” said Sue, who has owned Lo-Boy Market on Tranquille Road for eight years. Issues that have drawn the small business owner’s ire include loiter-

ing, aggressive panhandling, drug use and drug dealing around her business — issues she feels have become worse over the years. “I’m not saying we can’t accept and we can’t understand and we can’t be compassionate and empathetic, but I have a business to run and I don’t think if they all loitered around city hall, that would be acceptable,” Sue told KTW. The RCMP is only part of the solution, Lecky told the crowd. “We’re not going to arrest our way out of this problem,” he said. Dispersing homeless people standing on the street isn’t much different than the average person doing so, he said, adding it’s not a good use of police resources. Lecky explained the reason peo-

ple may experience long wait times when calling police with respect to these issues is because they are lower on the RCMP’s priority scale, which he broke down into four categories. The top two priority calls involve threats to life and/or serious violence, such as 911 calls, bomb threats, abductions, break-ins in progress, impaired driving and assaults. Lecky said officer response times for those calls average between eight and 10 minutes. Priority three calls were described as those not requiring immediate police action, such as sudden deaths, and are responded to in more than an hour’s time, on average.

Anything classified as a priority four — such as mischief, fraud and theft — is deemed to not require police being dispatched, but possibly further action, Lecky said. Christian told the crowd the city has been in discussion with the province about these issues, adding council is pushing for the establishment of a sobering centre and more capacity for prison accommodation with wraparound services and support for women and youth. “Those are deficiencies we see in the community and those are things that we have talked to the government about,” Christian said. He said the problem is not unique to Kamloops, noting bylaw services, the parks department, community services and the

Customer Care and Patrol teams are all involved. “There are no easy wins here,” Christian said, adding the problem may get worse before it improves. He said people need to protect their property through crime prevention measures, such as better lighting and locking up valuables. Lecky also stressed police have no control over offenders being released quickly once they move into the criminal justice system. He noted police services is the most expensive cost to the municipality and doesn’t believe having “a police officer on every street corner” is something the city can afford to do to address people’s concerns. Touching on the issue of trespassing, Lecky said there’s a belief officers will respond and make an arrest, which doesn’t happen. “I don’t have lawful authority to do that. In best-case scenario, somebody might get a ticket, the effect of which, for a homeless person, is to make their problem worse,” he said. He also questioned the benefit of issuing a person with an alcohol addiction a ticket for being drunk in public, noting that, too, only worsens the person’s situation. Among the 50 to 60 people in attendance, many expressed a sense that there is little support for business owners who are trying to make a living and have everything to lose. One man added that there should be something done to educate people living on the streets about their impact on business owners. “We work for our money and we’re the ones that are financially invested, emotionally invested,” he said.

A fashionable way to help the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund

The Locking in Hope art display is located downtown in Riverside Park, behind Sandman Centre. The Kamloops Food Bank’s goal was to raise $200,000 by selling locks that people could attach to the structure, which includes this steel heart alongside four steel letters that spell out HOPE ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

ach time Bernadette Siracky takes a stroll through Riverside Park, she notices someone taking a picture in front of the word HOPE. The City of Kamloops is officially the owner of the love-locked public art display, which sits the Sandman Centre in the downtown core. The Kamloops Food Bank wrapped up its Locking in Hope fundraising campaign at the end of September. “We’re leaving it in the hands of the observer,” Siracky said, noting she is proud of the display. “The message of

this hope structure is going to be with the person experiencing it. It’s going to mean something different to each person. “For some, it’s hope for the future, for some, it’s hope for healing, for some, it’s memory of the past. For us, it’s creating a memory for whomever.” The campaign aimed to raise $200,000 for the non-profit that helps feed the hungry in Kamloops. It made it threequarters of the way to that goal, at $125,000, by selling corporate sponsorships and locks in the park through the summer months. Siracky could not say how many locks were sold, but noted many of them did not end up clasped to the structure in the park. She is inviting those who still have

their locks to visit the park and do just that. “My hope is to see that thing so full of locks that it is overflowing,” she said. Siracky said most of the money raised will go toward covering the cost of the project — the cost rising with the price of steel — with a small portion going toward operating costs at the Kamloops Food Bank. Despite not meeting the fundraising goal, Siracky said the unique campaign garnered plenty of support and will leave a lasting legacy in Riverside Park. “I hope people understand that the invitation to go take pictures and lock on your own locks is there and I hope people take the opportunity to do so,” she said.

Some familiar local faces will be taking to the stage this weekend to showcase the newest in fashion trends while helping raise money for the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund. The Passion for Fashion Show will take place at Northills Centre on Saturday, Oct. 26, from noon to 1 p.m. Admission is free, but donations to the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund are welcome and appreciated. The Cheer Fund annually raises money for local charities. This year’s recipients are Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, The Mustard Seed, Kamloops Brain Injury Association and the Out of the Cold shelter. Kamloops This Week sales representative Jodi Lawrence helped put the event together. “We’ve been kind of moulding the idea for a couple of months,” she said. “Then it finally started to come together.” There will be about 50 seats outside of The Source in the North Kamloops mall, with room for additional attendees who don’t mind standing. Stan Bailly DJ Services will be providing music for the event, while KTW promotions director Tara Holmes will be the master of ceremonies. Among the recognizable faces suiting up for the modelling gig are Kamloops councillors Arjun Singh, Kathy Sinclair and Bill Sarai, Kamloops Chamber of Commerce executive director Acacia Pangilinan, United Way executive director Danalee Baker, Community Futures Thompson Country program manager Julie Bayman, KTW staffers Kate Potter, Linda Skelly and Max Patel and CFJC-TV broadcaster Tanya Cronin. The fashionable outfits that will adorn the models are courtesy of Suzanne’s, Lush Wear, Ardene’s, Cain’s Independent Grocer, Prima Bridal and Moores. Attendees will have the chance to win some great prizes, including tickets to Kamloops Blazers games, a gift basket from Shopper’s Drug Mart and gift certificates to the Chopped Leaf.

Petition on Mining Act changes to follow meeting with MLA JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Knutsford residents met with Kamloops South-Thompson MLA Todd Stone last Friday to discuss mining claims on their private properties. The group of about a dozen packed into Stone’s constituency office in downtown Kamloops and outlined concerns over rights to what lies beneath their land. Maria Reimer and husband Doug Hallat earlier detailed to KTW their shock in learning a mining claim had been staked on their land and finding out the differences between surface and subsurface rights. As a result, the couple is calling for changes to B.C.’s mining laws, arguing they are antiquated. The couple’s neighbours have also had claims staked on their lands. Reimer called the meeting with Stone “helpful,” noting she learned how the process is supposed to unfold, which she said was different from the one they experienced.

An agreement is usually worked out by the parties together and, if disputes arise, it is handled by the province’s gold commissioner. “Basically, what I was told was, ‘After eight days, we can come on your property,’” Reimer said. Reimer said she has registered concerns with the gold commissioner to conduct mediation. She has not heard from the two men who staked the claim on her acreage. The residents are also starting a petition, calling for amendments to B.C. mining laws to require consent from private landowners. They plan to later present it to Stone. “We had a productive meeting where residents expressed their concerns and frustrations and asked lots of very good and relevant questions,” Stone said. “We agreed that the important next step for all was to engage the process that’s in place, whereby free miner claims can be disputed with the chief gold commissioner and, ultimately, if necessary, be referred to the Surface Rights

Board for a binding resolution.” Meanwhile, others throughout British Columbia are calling for changes to the way in which mining is conducted. The Fair Mining Collaborative is among a handful of organizations pushing for B.C. mining law reform. Executive director Glenn Grande said a coalition of organizations and citizens has been working on the issue for a number of years. The mineral tenure system dates back to the 1800s, he said, and does not take into consideration such aspects as Indigenous rights. He said the Knutsford situation is not one that surprises him, noting there are similar occurrences elsewhere in the province where mineral titles supersede private property rights. Asked what advice he could offer to the Knutsford residents, Grande said: “If they don’t want mining on their land, they could plant an orchard. That’s one of the land uses where miners aren’t allowed to go.”

Regional district residents say they want to live in RVs own property in the region. The regional district is reviewing the matter after seeing an increase in the number of people living in RVs — about 100 — on rural property throughout the region, with concerns including improper septic services, lost taxation revenues, decreased property value and safety risks due to carbon monoxide or electrical dangers. The number of TNRD bylaw files on the matter has increased in recent years, with just five in 2014 and 20 in 2017. In the past six years, the regional district has pursued legal action

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Survey says: people want to live in their RVs. A recent survey issued by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District on the matter received more than 1,300 responses, with the majority calling for zoning changes to allow RVs as homes on private land, with some conditions such as lot size and service connections. The Sept. 24 survey was distributed via the TNRD website and on social media. Most respondents were rural residents who live and

eight times. Most complaints filed were linked to RVs not connected to a septic system. In a recent report to the TNRD development services committee, director of development services Regina Sadilkova outlined the will of the public and recommended the board consider loosening the rules only slightly, amending respective bylaws to enable open-ended stays at places like campgrounds and manufactured home parks, in addition to providing temporary-use permits on a case-by case basis. Also recommended is an enforcement policy, with guests or

vacation stays limited. The issue has sparked passionate discussion online in favour of changing the rules after the TNRD earlier this year said it will be enforcing the issue and sent letters to residents. Sadilkova told KTW most people want to be unrestricted when it comes to living in their home. Housing affordability appears to be at the centre of arguments in favour of changing the rules. However, she said, the issue is more complex, ranging from the need for 911 service to sewage and water. Sadilkova said neighbour-

ing property values can also be impacted. In a letter to the TNRD, Interior Health environmental health officer Clare Audet recommended against allowing RVs to be used as longterm residences, citing concerns with potable drinking water and sustainable onsite sewage. If a change is made in the TNRD to permit RVs as residential use, it would set off a domino of regulatory changes to the regional district’s building, unsightly premises, enforcement and water-sewer bylaws. The board will make a decision at a later date.

Red Lake rentals at risk after B.C. Supreme Court decision JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court decision barring two short-term rentals at Red Lake northeast of Kamloops means properties will not be grandfathered and leaves improperly zoned short-term rentals at the mercy of neighbours. In the first case of its kind in the region, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District took Christopher Cade and Paul Patton to court in August, arguing their two lakefront

properties (zoned lakeshore singlefamily residential) violated the district’s zoning bylaw in operating short-term rentals. The pair argued in court, however, zoning changes specifically prohibiting short-term rentals were implemented in 2012, a few years after they purchased their properties and began renting them out on a part-time basis to offset costs of their vacation homes. This was before the popularity of online sites like AirBNB and VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owners).

“In 2012, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District changed the laws,” Patton told KTW. “One of the bylaw changes was a very specific change to the zoning that says very directly no shortterm rentals. Prior to that, that wording wasn’t in the zoning.” However, the TNRD maintains rentals were never permitted under single-family zoning and, in winning the case, resulted in the grandfather argument not holding up in court. TNRD director of development services Regina Sadilkova said the

court decision does not mean the regional district will now be shutting down every AirBNB incorrectly zoned in the region. Countless rentals can be found online, she noted, and enforcement remains complaint-driven. However, that leaves the fate of short-term rentals operating outside of proper zoning in the hands of neighbours. Sadilkova said the TNRD pursues “meaningful” complaints. In the case of Cade and Patton, she said the regional district received

complaints since 2010 about the Red Lake properties concerning noise, traffic and nuisance. Sadilkova said repeated attempts since that time to reach out to the property owners to address the issues were unsuccessful, leading to the TNRD to take the pair to court. For their part, Patton and Cade dismissed the complaints as frivolous. Whatever the case may be, the law has been made more clear and Cade and Patton are planning to sell, telling KTW they are “devastated.”

What is Socially Responsible Investing (SRI)? Last week, a client asked us about what we could do to help satisfy her desire to invest in a socially responsible way. This subject has often been on our minds and a few clients have begun proactively requesting information. As further evidence this is a growing concern for many, on October 5th, the Globe and Mail reported that the top three concerns for voters in the 2019 Federal election were: 1. Environment 2. Economy 3. Healthcare Furthermore, in April 2016, the Responsible Investing Association surveyed more than 1,000 Canadian investors and found that SRI resonated twice as much with millennials (18-35) than baby boomers (55+). SRI is sometimes also referred to as: Sustainable Investing, Ethical Investing, Value Based Investing and Impact Investing. Nearly all these definitions analyze and review three key factors: Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) when selecting investments. There are several ways to invest in an SRI fashion. One example is the Jantzi Social Index (JSI) which according to their website is “an in-depth examination of a company’s (historical) performance in social areas such as aboriginal relations, community involvement, corpo-

rate governance, employee relations, the environment and human rights. The JSI excludes companies that have significant involvement in nuclear power, tobacco and weapons-related.” As I dug deeper, what struck me as unusual and potentially contentious was the JSI portfolio included several oil, gas and mining companies. When asked "Why so?", the Jantzi representative responded that these companies in their opinion were more conscientious and/or the best within their sector after the ESG screenings.

Vice President & Portfolio Manager eric.davis@td.com 250-314-5120

Keith Davis Investment Advisor keith.davis@td.com 250-314-5124

Until next time... Invest Well. Live Well.

From January 1, 2000, until September 30, 2019, the JSI has marginally outperformed the S&P/TSX Composite by less than 0.50%. The Responsible Investment Association claimed that since 1970 over 2,000 studies concluded that ESG investing results in improved financial outperformance 90% of the time. It is worth mentioning that there are no fees factored in these results. In our opinion, SRI strategies can be a little more expensive than traditional indexes due to the greater research and engagement by the management team. As a more stringent alternative, some SRI or Ethical strategies will completely exclude all fossil fuel companies. Emphasis may be on renewable energy such as: wind, solar, hydro, etc. In addition, they may take a more active role in trying to influence companies held within the fund by voting their shares. In our opinion more and more people seem to be concerned with the world of tomorrow. The challenge is that everyone's opinion, including investors, varies considerably. As such, it can be difficult to recommend a strategy that is 100% congruent to each individual beliefs and values. That said, we do feel it is worthwhile to educate and offer potential strategies.

Eric Davis

We believe that companies that are more responsible to their employees and environment may carry less risk and are more likely to outperform over time. Beyond SRI, our family spends time teaching our kids about recycling, gardening and most recently, participating in events like TD Tree days. It might sound cliché, but we can all help make a difference in small ways. Written by Eric.

Kamloops product Justin Donaldson scored twice for the Pack in a 4-0 win on Saturday and notched one goal in his club’s 2-0 triumph on Sunday. “We are really starting to find our stride in working

together and minimizing our mistakes,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov told TRU Sports Information. “I was really happy with that and to get the result.” The WolfPack (6-5-5) snared the fourth and final playoff berth in the Pacific Division, setting up a Round 1 matchup against the No. 1 seed in the Prairie Division, the Mount Royal Cougars.

Other Round 1 matchups include Alberta (5-6-3) against UBC (10-2-3) in Vancouver on Friday, Trinity Western (9-6-1) of Langley playing host to Calgary (7-6-1) on Saturday and Victoria (8-6-1) travelling to Saskatoon

to play the Saskatchewan Huskies (7-3-4) on Saturday. Antulov’s charges are familiar with the situation in which they find themselves. TRU recovered from a disappointing start to the campaign in 2018 and secured a post-season berth on the final day of the regular season. The Pack went on to win Canada West bronze. This year, the highest remain-

ing seed in the Pacific Division after this weekend’s matches will play host to the Final Four tournament on Nov. 2 and Nov. 3. In the unlikely event no Pacific Division squads are victorious, the highest remaining seed in the Prairie Division will host the Final Four.

The brothers Clouston have the reins. Cory Clouston has joined the Kamloops Blazers as an interim assistant coach, news announced in a club press release on Monday. Shaun Clouston, Cory’s older brother, is the Blazers’ head coach. “There weren’t a lot of options, trying to find somebody that has good qualifications, but is also available at this time of year,” Blazers’ general manager Matt Bardsley told KTW on Tuesday. “We discussed Cory. I wanted to make sure Shaun was comfortable, with this being a unique situation with a brother being with him. In this situation, he was comfortable with it.” Darryl Sydor, the Blazers’ associate coach, is on a personal leave of absence from the team that began on Oct. 11. Bardsley was asked on Tuesday if there are any updates on a timeline for Sydor’s return. “Nothing right now,” Bardsley said. “He’s just taking some time away, allowing him to do what he needs to do, and we’ll go from there.” How long Cory Clouston remains on the Blazers’ bench remains to be seen. “That’s strictly interim,” Bardsley said. “He knows that. He’s just coming in and helping. We haven’t really discussed too much of that. “It was important we get somebody that can come in on a full-time basis. Our support staff, as far as coaches, they are parttime. They all have their jobs, as well.” Cory Clouston was an assistant coach for the Kootenay Ice for three seasons, winning WHL championships in 2000 and 2002

WolfPack women off to perfect start Avery Pottle earned the start from TRU WolfPack head coach Chad Grimm on Saturday and she took advantage of the opportunity in a five-set victory over the hometown Brandon Bobcats in Canada West volleyball action. “Even on the defensive side of the ball, she was great,” Grimm told TRU Sports Information. “She brought that competitive grit and dared to attack the ball. That was nice to see.” Pottle, a fourth-year outside hitter from Uxbridge, Ont., had 19 kills, two blocks, 10 digs and 22.5 points. The WolfPack, who earned a four-set victory over Brandon on Friday, will be looking to build on a 2-0 start to the regular season this weekend when the Calgary Dinos (0-2) come to town. Match time is 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at the Tournament Capital Centre.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE Avery Pottle (right) goes up to get a set from Abby Spratt in TRU WolfPack volleyball action last season at the Tournament Capital Centre. Both of TRU’s volleyball squads will host their home openers on Friday, when the Calgary Dinos come to town.

WOLVES CLAWED The Brandon Bobcats are the second-ranked team in a Canada West men’s volleyball pre-season coaches’ poll. They showed why last weekend in two victories over the visiting TRU WolfPack, who are ranked sixth in the poll. Brandon won in four sets on Friday. The WolfPack pushed them to the fifth and deciding set on Saturday. “I thought we played better and so did Brandon,” WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly told TRU Sports Information on Saturday. “We had a solid finish, but we started a bit rough.” TRU (0-2) was paced by outside hitter Charlie Bringloe, who had a match-high 21 kills. The WolfPack will be searching for their first win of the season this weekend when the Calgary Dinos come to town. Match time is 6:45 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at the TCC. Calgary, ranked ninth in the pre-season coaches’ poll, opened their season with losses to visiting Saskatchewan on Friday and Saturday.

TRU soccer squad falls short of post-season Two losses on the Coast eviscerated the TRU WolfPack’s aspirations of reaching the Canada West women’s soccer playoffs. The Fraser Valley Cascades (4-5-5) knocked off TRU 4-2 in Abbotsford on Saturday and the Trinity Western Spartans (12-1-1) blanked the Pack 4-0 on Sunday in Langley. “I couldn’t be more proud of the effort and the energy the players put in,” WolfPack head coach Mark Pennington

told TRU Sports Information. “Not only today, but the entire season. It has been a very positive process this year.” Taylor Miller of Kamloops

and Camryn Curts of Comox had goals for TRU on Saturday. The WolfPack (2-8-4) finished seventh in the eightteam Pacific Division.

The top six teams qualified for the playoffs. Miller, Marisa Mendonca of Penticton and Natalie Verdiel of Powell River have exhausted their Canada West playing eligibility. “I want to commend the seniors on an unbelievable season,” Pennington said. “More importantly, some of the off-field things they have done for the program — building the culture and turning the program around — they were pioneers.”

Junior bantam Broncos remain undefeated Three Southern Interior Football Conference matchups were held on Sunday at Hillside Stadium, each featuring the Kamloops Broncos and Kelowna Junior Sun Green. The junior bantam Broncos improved to 6-0 with a 37-30 victory and are the

only remaining undefeated team from Kamloops. Junior Sun Green posted a 26-0 win over the Broncos (5-1) in peewee play. In atom action, Kamloops earned a 20-16 win over Kelowna to improve to 4-2-1 on the campaign.

Kelowna Junior Sun Grey will bring three teams to Kamloops on Sunday for games against the Broncos, with the peewees, atoms and junior bantams scheduled to get underway at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m., respectively, on the grass field beside Hillside Stadium.

Olynyk among record-setting Canadian NBA group CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — NBA opening-night rosters will include 16 Canadians, setting a record for most players from a non-U.S. country. A robust class of Canadian rookies will bolster what was already a strong contingent of national players in the league. Canadians entering the NBA in 2019-2020 include RJ Barrett and

Ignas Brazdeikis of the New York Knicks, Mfiondu Kabengele of the Los Angeles Clippers, Brandon Clarke of the Memphis Grizzlies and Nickeil Alexander-Walker of the New Orleans Pelicans. Returning veterans include Denver guard Jamal Murray, who is coming off a breakout season with the Nuggets, Cleveland Cavaliers centre Tristan Thompson, Sacramento Kings guard Cory Joseph, Minnesota Timberwolves forward

Andrew Wiggins and Miami Heat centre Kelly Olynyk of Kamloops. Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looks to build off his strong rookie season with the Los Angeles Clippers. Gilgeous-Alexander was part of the trade that brought Paul George to L.A. Khem Birch of the Orlando Magic, Chris Boucher of the Toronto Raptors, Dillon Brooks of Memphis, Trey Lyles

of the San Antonio Spurs and Dwight Powell of the Dallas Mavericks round out Canada’s opening-day contingent. There also are four Canadians on two-way deals — making them eligible to play in the NBA and G League. Naz Mitrou-Long (Indiana Pacers), Luguentz Dort (Oklahoma City), Marial Shayok (Philadelphia 76ers) and Oshae Brissett (Raptors) form that group. The class of

Canadians is part of a group of 108 international opening-day players from 38 countries. The Mavericks have an NBA-high seven international players. The Phoenix Suns and Philadelphia 76ers each have six, while Memphis, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Sacramento, Toronto, Utah and Washington each have five.

Classics’ swimmers reach podium at Penticton Iron Pentathlon

Diego Paz of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club was the overall winner in his division last weekend at the Penticton Iron Pentathlon.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE

Three Kamloops Classic Swimming club athletes had standout performances last weekend at the Penticton Iron Pentathlon.

Diego Paz won five silver medals and claimed overall gold in the 15-and-over men’s division. Sienna Angove earned overall silver in the 12-and-under girls’ category, winning four events and setting a new club record in the 100-metre individual medley. Sarah Koopmans won two events and earned bronze overall in the 15-and-over girls’ division. The Classics were represented by 44 athletes who combined for 51 topthree finishes — 13 gold, 14 silver and 24 bronze. Meanwhile, the TRU WolfPack brought 10 swimmers to the event. Emily Dagasso of Kamloops posted seven top-10 finishes and Ryley McRae of Kamloops earned six medals — five silver and one bronze. Oliver Castle of Duncan placed first overall in his division. Brad Dalke is head coach of the Classics and WolfPack.

Taubman releases statement before Game 1 CANADIAN PRESS

HOUSTON — The assistant general manager of the Houston Astros apologized Tuesday for using “inappropriate language’’ after a Sports Illustrated report said he repeatedly yelled toward a group of female reporters about closer Roberto Osuna during a clubhouse celebration. Brandon Taubman released a statement through the Astros hours before they played Game 1 of the World Series against Washington after KTW’s press

deadline on Tuesday. Major League Baseball said it will interview those involved before further commenting. Taubman’s remarks after the Astros clinched the AL pennant reportedly referenced Osuna, who was suspended for 75 games last year for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy before being traded from Toronto to the Astros. According to SI, Taubman shouted “Thank God we got Osuna!’’ and made similar remarks several times, punctuating them with an expletive. SI said one of the reporters

was wearing a domestic violence awareness bracelet. The incident occurred after the Astros beat the New York Yankees at Minute Maid Park on Saturday night in Game 6 of the AL Championship Series. On Monday night, after the SI story was published, the Astros called it “misleading and completely irresponsible.’’ The team said SI had tried to “fabricate a story where one does not exist’’ and said Taubman’s comments weren’t directed at the reporters. Taubman, on Tuesday, said he was “deeply sorry and embarrassed.

“In retrospect, I realize that my comments were unprofessional and inappropriate. My overexuberance in support of a player has been misinterpreted as a demonstration of a regressive attitude about an important social issue,’’ he said. MLB said in a statement that “everyone in baseball must use care to not engage in any behaviour — whether intentional or not — that could be construed as minimizing the egregiousness of an act of domestic violence.’’ “The Astros have disputed Sports Illustrated’s characteriza-

tion of the incident. MLB will interview those involved before commenting further,’’ it said. Canadian prosecutors dropped a domestic assault charge in September 2018 against Osuna, who agreed to stay away from the alleged victim for one year and continue counselling. The prosecution said the woman, who lived in Mexico, had made it clear she would not travel to Toronto to testify against Osuna. Osuna was charged with assault in May of 2018. The Blue Jays traded him to Houston two months later.

No conflict between love of nature and hunting ROBERT KOOPMANS The Outdoor NARRATIVE

omeone asked me recently: If you love the outdoors and nature as much as you profess, how can you line up with a rifle and shoot an animal as beautiful as a deer? It was a fair question and I gave as honest an answer as I could. I said it’s not easy to kill something, whether it’s a beautiful deer, a flying goose, a grouse, a rabbit or a cold, wet fish. I often feel an ache when I walk up on a dead critter that just an eye-blink before was alive. The moments of regret I might feel, however, pale to the deeper and more permanent connection I have with wild places, of which both the wildlife and I are only a part. They are different kinds of emotion that exist together — not opposites, but parallel threads. Regardless, I sometimes wonder why I hunt. I’ve often struggled to come up with a foolproof reason, an explanation to win over even the most diehard anti-hunter. I’ve not been successful and can’t put well into words my motivation. The simple answer is, I keep going out season after season because I get more out of the activity than not. That’s it — nothing

more complex. Perhaps that will change one day and I will set my guns aside. For the moment, however, I take great contentment from a freezer filled with venison. I value weekend hunting trips with good friends. I love seeing deer and moose and other wild ani-

mals, up close and personal, and I feel a need to be in the places where they live, with a rifle on my shoulder. I also know I’m on solid ethical ground. We are a lethal society, sustained by industries that do a lot of killing for us. Not having a direct part in the deaths does not wash the blood from our hands.

I can’t embrace as easily as some people do that wild animals are more valuable or more entitled to live than farm-raised ones. We raise cattle and chickens — and hunt deer and grouse — because we eat meat. As long as we keep that ethic central to both activities, treat animals with

respect and take no more than what we need, we need not be too troubled about explaining it. Tens of thousands of years of evolutionary process have given us the tools and ability to sit at the top of the food chain. So be it. Hunting has put me in contact with wild places in a way that is

foreign to most. So many people I know are oblivious to the wildness around them, or worse, utterly afraid of it. Stalking forests every fall for nearly three decades has given me an appreciation of nature many just don’t see. It’s made me understand animals, birds and fish are a small part of a much bigger thing and that we are also small threads in the same natural fabric. This weekend, I hope to take another hike with my rifle. I’m already looking forward to once again sucking in cool morning air on the hillside I plan to stomp, as I did before those other trips as well. I love being on a ridge and watching the sun come up. If the weather is right, I might see mist rising from a nearby lake and hear distant chattering squirrels or ravens breaking the silence. I really do love such places, as well as all the furry and feathered inhabitants in them. That won’t change what will happen should circumstances arise. If given the chance, I will line up on a buck and pull the trigger. The ache I might feel after will stay with me like the echo of a gunshot in a quiet valley, intensely heard, but fast gone. What I feel for the place where it happens and all it represents will linger much longer.

Keith has left his wife Shirley of 49 years, sons Shawn (Nicole) and Bob, identical twin brother Kenneth, sisters Judy (Brent), Sheila (Greg), Cheryle (Chris) and younger brother Daniel (Miriam). He will also be sorely missed by his many cousins, nephews, nieces and in-laws.

Keith was born in Provost, Alberta, came to BC at 4 years of age and lived the better part of his life in Kamloops with stops as he grew up in Tofino, Nanaimo, Giscome, Yale and Kelowna.

Predeceased by his mother Delia and father Thomas “Bud” Henderson and his sister Sherry.

Keith enjoyed many years at the family summer home on East Barriere Lake, was an avid classic car enthusiast, owner and builder. He was also a pilot and flew all over BC and Western Canada. Keith was fearless in taking on new projects of all types and seeing them through to the end. He was a master gardener, an internet search guru extraordinaire and was very fond of his many Brittney Spaniel dogs.

Ron will also be forever remembered by his nieces, nephews, extended family and dear friends. Special thanks to the many doctors and nurses that cared for Ron during his long battle with COPD.

Keith loved his music, polkas, marching bands and was stuck in the 50s, 60s and 70s sounds along with that era of folk musicians. One of his favourite songs ended with “For I know I’ll never find another you”. We will miss him forever. There will be no service and a celebration of Keith’s life will held at a later date.

Robin Howie It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robin Howie on October 7, 2019. 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.

In Loving Memory of BRENDA DALLA GASSA

December 6, 1942 October 21, 2017

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

From Bob White’s Scrapbook There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad. It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through. It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.”

Please join us in Celebrating the Life of Mickey Martino on Saturday, October 26, 2019 from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm in the Mountain Room, on the 3rd floor of the Campus Activity Centre at Thompson Rivers University, 1055 University Drive, Kamloops. Please dress comfortably. We want this day to be a casual affair of reflection and story telling about the life of a good man. Stories will be shared at 2:15pm followed by a period of open mic for anyone who wishes to share their tales and memories of Mickey. Light refreshments will be available as well. Our family looks forward to meeting with you and to celebrating memories of Mickey’s exceptional life.

Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word? Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you? I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. by E. Brenneman

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, the week ahead is a busy one. You may have a speech to deliver or a private performance to put on and that will focus all eyes on you. Rest up while you can.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, don’t schedule any extra activities this week because your schedule is full. Family life also will demand a great deal from you. Make a list of things to do and get started.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, slow down and invite a friend over for a cup of coffee or a drink after work. You have to get back to some social occasions, or you can run yourself ragged.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, this week you may feel the need to exert some physical energy. If you have a gym membership, spend several hours working up a sweat.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

? s e p i c e R

- Sept 23/Oct 23 Resist the temptation to push other people’s buttons, Libra.

This is a week when you will have a clear view of your future goals.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, after a few days of idle coasting, you may get a boost of energy to tackle new things. Others may be amazed at the change.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Capricorn, this week you may be influenced by someone with a strong personality. Unless you stand behind what this person is offering, do not be swayed by the hard sell.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 You have a tendency to go about your routines with less enthusiasm than in the past, Aquarius. You just may need some new scenery to briefly get you inspired.

PISCES
