Kamloops city council to get pay raise in 2015

Thompson River Publications Partnership Ltd.

COMPENSATION CHATTER DONOVAN CAVERS “For what the job takes, I think an increase is necessary, so I was willing to vote for whatever came forward on the task force.”

Stories by Andrea Klassen

STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

ESS THAN 10 MINUTES AFTER KAMLOOPS CITY councillors voted to give their successors a raise in 2015, a war of words was brewing at city hall.

NANCY BEPPLE “As a council, we need to decide whether we want to make a change or no. Either we stay where we are or we change the remuneration for future councils. We can debate about a dollar or two, but I don’t think that serves the public good at all.”

“There’s some councillors, obviously, that it’s more of a hobby than anything,” Coun. Donovan Cavers told media during a break in proceedings. “[Coun. Ken] Christian, for instance, has a fairly comfortable IHA [Interior Health Authority] pension, I’m sure, and this is just sort of an interesting conversation for him. “But, for those of us that are trying to make a living and building our first home, we need to have some semblance of a comfortable life while doing the job of being a councillor.”

Christian was one of two councillors to vote against a package of raises and benefits that will increase pay for the next set of city councillors — by approximately $5,000 annually when they are sworn in in 2015 and by $10,000 annually by the end of their terms. Councillors now make about $25,000 a year. The city’s next mayor will make 90 per cent of the average salary of a group of similarly sized

communities — about $86,000 based on today’s numbers. Mayor Peter Milobar now makes $74,000 a year. It was a smaller-than-average city council that approved the pay raise. Councillors Pat Wallace and Marg Spina and Milobar — three council members who had all expressed reservations about hiking pay — were absent from the meeting. Coun. Tina Lange, the other

ARJUN SINGH “I think in terms of people running for council and the position itself, taking me out of it as an individual, just looking at the role of a councillor of the City of Kamloops, I’m pretty happy with the recommendation.”

councillor to vote against the higher compensation, had argued councillors should take the $10,000 raise at the beginning of the next term, rather than a stepped option. That left Christian as a lone voice of dissent — and the subject of Cavers’ ire. Christian, when played a recording of Cavers’ comments, wouldn’t comment on “personal financial circumstances.”

TINA LANGE “I think it’s great that we did it now because it won’t be an election issue. And I’m hoping it will allow people, other people, to apply for this position.”

Mayor unsure if he will bring issue back Mayor Peter Milobar says the timing of a vote on council remuneration that will give the next mayor and council a major raise is “unfortunate.” However, Milobar is not sure whether the presence of three councillors who had spoken against the idea in the past would have made much difference in the long run. Speaking with KTW from Nanaimo, where he was attending a BC Transit board meet-

ing when the vote was made, Milobar said the council remuneration task force had originally hoped to bring forward its recommendations earlier, but scheduling conflicts of its own delayed the report. That pushed the decision to Oct. 22, when Milobar and Coun. Pat Wallace, who is on vacation, were both scheduled to be away. Coun. Marg Spina also missed the meeting due to a

NELLY DEVER “When you look at the numbers, 60 per cent of the respondents [to a community survey] were in favour of the recommendation that was put forth today. And that’s a strong position.”

death in the family. “There was nothing council had to do with the scheduling of the report coming forward,” Milobar said. “That’s purely administrative. We knew there would be a couple of us away. We didn’t think there would be three. “But, it’s not that there were any people on council trying to pull a fast one or anything like that.”

KEN CHRISTIAN “I can live with it. I think it is too rich, but I’m in a minority and only one of a minority today.”

No jail time for teen who caused brain damage in machete attack By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was expected to be done by Oct. 18, but work on Tranquille Road in North Kamloops will continue until at least Nov. 15. The construction project — which includes road repairs and creation of a multi-use pathway — has impacted some businesses. Dave Eagles/KTW

Not quite digging all the work By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

kamloopsthisweek .com

Work on the stretch of Tranquille Road just past the Overlanders Bridge overpass should be done by the middle of November — and that’s good news for businesses on the Tranquille Market. Steven Puhallo, executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA), said city staff have told him the work should be done by Nov. 15. It was originally scheduled to be completed by Oct. 18. The work involves creation of a multi-use pathway and road repairs. Installation of new lights on the street and improvements to traffic signals are scheduled to be done later. Puhallo acknowledged some of the businesses in the area have suffered a decline in customers since the project began in August. Bobbi Farrer, a partner at Psychocity Custom Tattoos and Apparel — the apparel side falls under her control — said retail sales are down to about 10 per cent of what they had been in the summer. Mike Ward, owner of Reubin’s

‘It’s a lot like buying an old house and renovating it. You never know what you’ll find. And this is an old street being modernized.’ — Steven Puhallo NSBIA executive director Diner just northwest of Farrer’s store, said he has also noticed fewer people, but noted having traffic forced to come to a stop due to construction has increased his restaurant’s visibility. “They’re stuck there, they look around and they see us,” he said. “The roadwork is a bit tough on

everybody, but I know it will look great. And the construction guys are eating here.” Puhallo said he was told some of the delays came from the simple unanticipated surprises found once digging began. “It’s a lot like buying an old house and renovating it,” he said. “You never know what you’ll find. And this is an old street being modernized.” Despite his optimism, Puhallo said he is aware the area can’t take another project that might affect traffic and customers. Last year, the Tranquille Road overpass was closed for more than a month after a truck hit it and caused structural damage. That shut down access to the Tranquille Market from the overpass and businesses reported then they felt the impact immediately. With plans to recondition the overpass next year, Puhallo said he’s already in talks with the city to ensure its effect is minimized. Ideally, Puhallo would like to see the work done in the evening or overnight, when businesses in the area are closed.

A teen who left a Kamloops man with permanent brain damage after a machete attack before boasting in text messages about “finishing him off” will not be going to jail. The accused, who was 15 at the time of the assault and cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday, Oct. 23, to assault and aggravated assault. The charges stem from a machete attack on April 23, 2011 and followed a fist fight. Crown prosecutor Jenny Reid said the fight was between the accused and his then-girlfriend’s older brother, a man in his early 20s. The accused lost the fight. “Over the next several hours, he ruminated over the fact that [his combatant] had beaten him up,” Reid said. “[The accused] searched for him, having armed himself with a machete.” Reid read a text message in which the accused stated he planned to kill the man: “[He’s] going to be dead. Someone’s going to die tonight. I’m going to machete him.” The teen found his target outside a house party in North Kamloops, where an altercation took place in a yard that left another man with a superficial machete wound. The accused was then chased by a group of men, including his intended victim, to the intersection of 10th Street and Tranquille Road, where he stopped, turned around and swung the machete at the head of the man for whom he had been searching.

“It caused a severe traumatic brain injury,” Reid said. “[The victim] was placed in a coma on life support and he has suffered permanent speech impairment.” Court heard the accused then went on a texting spree, bragging about his actions and promising more violence. “I’ll finish him off,” Reid said, reading from another set of text messages. “I’ll teach him to f--k with me. I’m not going to stop until he’s dead. Teach them to try to jump me. Payback’s a bitch, ain’t it?” Reid then read a brief text conversation between the accused and his then-girlfriend, the victim’s younger sister. “He only punched you — you put him in the hospital. He hasn’t woken up yet,” the thengirlfriend texted. “I don’t give a f--k,” the teen replied. The teen, who has no prior criminal record and who has not been in trouble with police since the incidents, was in jail for five months after his arrest before being granted bail. The Crown is seeking a deferred custody and support order — a provision of the Youth Criminal Justice Act much like house arrest for adults, with a maximum term of six months — to be followed by two years of probation. Defence wants an eightmonth probation term. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop reserved her decision for a later date, but told the teen he would not be going to jail. A sentencing date will be set on Monday, Oct. 28.

Union head’s view on Ajax: ‘One opinion’ By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Richard Boyce told members of a Kamloops Rotary Club this week that he has serious concerns about the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine, he wasn’t expecting to cause a minor media frenzy. That’s in part because the head of the United Steelworkers Local 7619 at Highland Valley Copper has heard the same concerns from many other people who work in mining in the Kamloops area. “Over the past two years, I’ve had dozens of people familiar with mining come to me expressing concerns,” Boyce said. “And the main issue they have is it’s just too close to town.” Boyce said issues of dust and noise play out differently at mines like Highland Valley, which aren’t as close to major

populations. “You don’t have to worry about the dust, you don’t have to worry about the diesel fumes because it’s a long way away,” he said. “You don’t have to put as much weight to all the different environmental concerns.” While he said he originally wanted to wait for more information before making a decision on the mine, Boyce said he doesn’t like the fact that, two years later, he and the community are still in the dark on most issues surrounding Ajax. “I just think there’s a whole lot more information that could be provided to the people in this community,” he said. “Specifics like, why haven’t they told the city how many people they intend to hire locally? How many apprenticeships they intend to provide for young people getting out of high school? It’s not premature to throw any of that stuff

company behind Ajax, doesn’t seem eager to put its other operations on display for Kamloops. “I haven’t seen any open invitations yet to take any city council members down to tour their operations, to show them how proud they are of how efficiently and safely and environmentally they’re run,” he said. “I’ve toured Teck’s facilities in South America. They run their facilities no differently than they run them here and they’re not shy about taking you down there and showing you.” Boyce said airing his view on the mine isn’t part of a larger agenda. “I was asked to make a presentation at Rotary and that’s what I did,” he said. “The press has taken this and I guess in your language, it has legs, right? “But, it wasn’t my goal. I’m one person with one opinion.”

out there.” As to environmental questions, Boyce doesn’t buy Ajax’s oft-repeated line that it is still in the very early stages of its environmental assessment. “I don’t think it’s early stages any more,” he said. “The companies out there and the engineers that work for companies know what’s required in order to run a mine. They know what they’re up against when it comes to running a mine. I just think they’re holding back with a whole lot of information.” While the company has publicized a number of high-profile hires, including former RCMP superintendent Yves Lacasse and former Kamloops Daily News editor Robert Koopmans, Boyce noted there has been less news about hiring people with mining experience. He also wonders why KGHM, the Polish

(After) party crasher arrested A Kamloops man will likely face a string of charges after a Sahali party turned into a demolition derby early Wednesday morning (Oct. 22). Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the mayhem began at about 2 a.m. at a house party in the 900-block of Gleneagles Drive. Learned said the 22-yearold man became involved in an altercation with his ex-girlfriend, then got into his truck and sped away from the house. “The pickup truck crashed into two parked vehicles then rolled onto its roof about a block-and-a-half away,”

Learned said. “The driver then allegedly called police to report the vehicle as being stolen, prior to walking back to the party and disclosing to his friends that he had crashed his vehicle.” When Mounties showed up expecting to investigate a stolen vehicle, Learned said, they spoke to witnesses at the crash site who described the driver. “When the investigator went to arrest the man for public mischief, he tried to fight with the officer and was peppersprayed before he fled from the area on foot,” Learned said. The suspect was collared by a police-dog unit a short dis-

tance away. Learned said he was released on a promise-toappear in court on Dec. 12. Police expect to recommend charges of assault, public mischief, obstructing justice and hit-and-run. Learned said alcohol “was an underlying factor” in the incident, but it’s not expected the man will be charged with impaired driving. The suspect’s pickup truck and one of the vehicles into which he crashed were totalled, while the third vehicle suffered less damage. The man’s name has not been made public.

Kamloops sweaters bound for Syrian refugees By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

There are only a few days left for Tournament Capital residents to donate sweaters for Syrian refugees in Jordan. “It’s been amazing,” said Gordon Heselton, pastor at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Valleyview. “We have already shipped 250 sweaters or so. “There’s been great response from the community.” The church is taking part in a program, run by Canadian Lutheran World Relief, to supply sweaters to some of the 100,000 displaced Syrians trying to get by in a 101- 929 LAVAL CRESCENT, KAMLOOPS

Jordanian refugee camp. “It all ends this Sunday (Oct. 27) because they have to be shipped out of Winnipeg on Nov. 4,” Heselton said, noting Home Hardware was generous enough to cover shipping costs. Anyone with a new or lightly used sweater they’d like to donate can do so by stopping by the church. “We have a bin outside the front door,” Heselton said. “We can only take sweaters for this, though. If people drop off coats, that’s wonderful, but they will probably go to someone local.” Lord of Life Lutheran Church is located at 2481 Sunset Dr.

Leave it to Cavers to renew our faith in interesting politics

UST WHEN I THOUGHT politicians in Kamloops had become boring, along comes Donovan Cavers. I’ve been jealous of Toronto. Its mayor just has to go out for a walk and it becomes international news, while our mayor is likely an unknown quantity in places where the two words Rob and Ford immediately elicit laughter or rolling eyes. Our senator, Nancy Green Raine, is likely still on Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Christmas-card list — the names Brazeau, Wallin and Duffy have likely been scratched off. Our MP, Cathy McLeod, can be seen on television news sitting behind Harper and dutifully nodding when required, showing the appropriate disdain when NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair speaks and generally doing what governing MPs do these days. Our MLAs — Terry Lake and Todd Stone — definitely aren’t in the same category as former MLA Kevin Krueger, perhaps the one local politician you could count on to say some incredible things some days. The school board’s been pretty tame since Sandy Mallory and Lal Sharma moved on. Even Arjun Singh, whose first term on council was, well, fascinating to watch, has become pretty tame. But, the rookie councillor Cavers is in a class of his own. There was that oh-so-strange Twitter debate in June between Cavers and resident Cindi Thompson, who used her 140-character limit to express her opinion on any potential raise in pay. It led to some name-calling and Cavers creating some unique hash tags to describe her.

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL Eventually, Milobar had to weigh in officially and stop the silliness. Last year, there was Cavers’ rant about licensing fees and big-box stores and the city giving a “free pass” to large stores over the smaller ones in the city. That led to a guest column of his in KTW, in which where he decried the Walmarts of the world as being antiKamloops. I wonder if he realizes who these stores hire. And I wonder what he’d say if, suddenly, Walmart or Target or Real Canadian Superstore suddenly announced they were closing and putting all those Kamloopsians out of work. Cavers’ latest outburst, however, sets a new standard. After a somewhat questionable discussion about the Nancy Beppleinspired pay raises for council — only two-thirds of council was there for the discussion and vote that approved increases — Cavers sought out the media to dump on fellow councillor Ken Christian. “Christian, for instance, has a fairly comfortable IHA [Interior Health Authority] pension, I’m sure, and this is just sort of an interesting conversation for him,” Cavers told the media.

“But, for those of us that are trying to make a living and building our first home, we need to have some semblance of a comfortable life while doing the job of being a councillor.” What a cheap shot against a man who started out in politics in the city 20 years ago, when Cavers was just a kid in short pants. There’s a simple reality here at play — no one forces one to run for office. One makes that decision, then gets the support of others. One looks at the potential position and all that comes with it and one decides whether one can live with that. One understands that one’s time will be taken up with answering emails and talking with people and going to meetings and all those other things that come with being a politician. Some people run for office because they truly believe in causes and have a comfy bank account. Some run for office because they, too, are true believers and that is more important to them than personal gain. Some run for office for the pay. It’s the same in our career choices and Cavers chose to go into catering. He, too, could have gone on to become an expert in health and gone to work with IHA — but he didn’t. Fellow councillor Tina Lange has also spoken at times about how much work is involved in being on council and the difficulty she had juggling her workdays and her council responsibilities. She didn’t criticize others, though, but made a decision with which she can live. Perhaps Cavers needs to do the same self-assessment and decide if the council table is really where he wants to be.

If all nine members of Kamloops city council were to reconvene and vote again on the pay-raise issue, it is quite likely the elected body would again give itself a wage hike. Regardless, the matter should indeed be brought back to council chambers for a vote. City council approved a significant pay raise for councillors and mayor, while also approving cellphones and tablets for council members, while also giving councillors the option of getting medical benefits from the city. All this was approved by fewer than half of Kamloops’ elected representatives. Four of the nine council members — Donovan Cavers, Nancy Bepple, Nelly Dever and Arjun Singh — voted this week to adopt the recommendations of a council-appointed task force. Two council members — Ken Christian and Tina Lange — voted against the motion (though Lange is not opposed to the raise; she simply wanted the wage hike to be done all at once, rather than in stages). Three council members — Mayor Peter Milobar and councillors Marg Spina and Pat Wallace, all of whom oppose a pay raise — were absent for the vote. Yes, it is likely Lange will vote in favour of the motion if a new vote is held. The point, however, is such decision affecting the next council and the pocketbooks of taxpayers should be decided by the full council. This matter should have been postponed until the entire council was present. It will cost nothing to conduct a second ballot, but it will be invaluable to voters to know where each elected representative stands via an official vote.

CLIMATE COOL FOR CANINES Dog lovers head out with their canine comrades for some fresh air and exercise along the Rivers Trail near Kamloops Airport. October has definitely brought dog-walking weather and the stretch of beautiful days should last through the weekend, albeit with cooler temperatures. Dave Eagles/KTW

Cannot wait to vote them out in 2014 Editor: What a surprise that our illustrious city council has now voted itself a hefty raise, relative to all of us, based on the recommendation of some committee that spoke to 413 citizens. What’s next — reducing the

tax burden for heavy industry, which means taxpayers will be bearing the tax increase to pay for all this pork-barreling? We might as well now rubberstamp approval for all mining activity nearest the city to help pay for all this — and all

because our councillors want to be paid like others. I cannot wait for the November 2014 election to throw this bunch out. Jon Meers Kamloops

Despite audit, agencies do good work Editor: As someone who was laid off from the White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society when I was six months pregnant in August 2012, I am very upset about the actions of executive director Deb Canada (‘Audit: 60K a year for one day a week,’ Oct. 17). As upset as I am that she is profiting so much from these non-profit organizations, I think it’s

Serving Kamloops for 57 proud years!

important to remember these agencies do such amazing work within the community. The staff who work with the public are dedicated to their jobs and to the people they serve. I hope these organizations are able to continue doing the fantastic work they do and that these allegations are thoroughly explored. Shelley Blair Kamloops

Editor: Re: (‘Audit: $60K a year for one day a week,’ Oct. 17): I am very pleased KTW brought to the public’s attention the fact taxpayers are paying Bev Canada so much money to work one day a week. No wonder Stephanie Cadieux would not talk to KTW. Politicians run like hell when they know the press is after them. It’s always the same B.C. answer — “not available.” But, as we all know, if you were to put all politicians’ brains in a bird, it would fly backwards. B. Booth Kamloops

A column to be clipped Editor: I am an avid clipper — of newspaper articles, that is. Christopher Foulds’ Oct. 22 column on bubble-wrapping childhood goes into my file.

PROTEIN AS PAIN

BY DALE BASS • STAFF REPORTER • DALE@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

MANDA COSBURN HAD SCRAMBLED EGGS RECENTLY. At age 27, it was the first time she had ever eaten them — but, given their expense, it won’t be happening often. Cosburn has phenylketonuria (PKU), a long name for the disease that is screened for in newborns with a poke into their heel and a blood test. Most tests come back negative — hers didn’t. “It takes two weeks to get the results and, when they got mine, they called my mother and told her I was mentally retarded and to take me to B.C. Children’s Hospital right away. “My mom was only 20 years old and she was met at the hospital by this whole team of doctors.”

There, Cosburn’s parents learned the truth she has lived with. PKU is a genetic disorder that can be managed but not cured. Boiled down to the simplest explanation of what is a complex biological process in the body, people with PKU must limit their intake of protein. That means no meat, dairy, seafood, legumes soy or tofu. Fruits and vegetables are OK, depending on how they are processed. The bodies of people with PKU cannot handle phenylalaline, an amino acid found in foods that can be toxic to the brain and lead to a variety of conditions. Treatment involves a special liquid formula, which Cosburn drinks throughout the day, and a restricted diet. Prepared foods for people with PKU are available but are expensive — a box of nine small pizza balls costs $24 while a bag with nine tiny bagels costs $19, for example. Specially prepared pasta in a bag not bigger than what most people might buy at their grocery store costs $9 and a baking mix Cosburn relies on to prepare food each week is $55.

A third prong in the treatment is a drug called Kuvan, one that was approved by Health Canada in 2013, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration even earlier and available in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Quebec — but not B.C. “This is really confusing for me,” Cosburn said, “We’ve been told research has not been proven but B.C. gets the same information as other provinces that have approved it.” Cosburn has spoken with her MLA, Health Minister Terry Lake, and she said he’s been sympathetic to her issue. When contacted by KTW, Lake’s ministry office in Victoria emailed his response. It noted the province relies on the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health and the B.C. Drug Benefit Council when making decisions on drugs to approve. The ministry, after receiving input from the two bodies, “recommended against provinces covering this drug because of unclear benefits and high drug costs. The annual cost per patient for the medication can be as much as $180,000 per year for an adult, depending on dosing and the patient’s weight, and the available clinical research does not show clear benefits,” the email noted. Access to the drug would make life easier for her and reduce her food costs, Cosburn said. And, it might go a long way to helping her with her dream of having a child of her own. To do so, living with PKU, would require monitoring the presence of the amino in her body, keeping it to a level best described as a one or two for six months before conception, during a pregnancy and during nursing. Given the unpredictability of conception, in essence it means keeping the level that low all the time, something that isn’t easy to do. Often, particularly when she hasn’t enough money to pay for the prepared foods, that level rises to anywhere from eight to 11 in Cosburn’s body, she said. And, she’s aware she runs the risk of giving birth to a child with PKU. Cosburn’s childhood was difficult. She was removed from physical-education classes permanently in Grade 6 because of fear muscle development would elevate the level of protein in her body and raise the amino level. Lunch was four crackers with some jam, some applesauce and a thermos of the formula she lives on. To go to a restaurant with her partner, Cole Rickett, requires calling ahead of time to ensure the few foods she can eat are prepared properly and, even then, she tends to simply order mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. However, she has to order child-sized portions because the more food, the greater the presence of proteins. One large potato, for example, can have eight grams of protein and Cosburn needs to restrict her entire daily protein intake to no more than five grams. Anything more than one-quarter cup of corn also exceeds her protein-consumption limit for the day. She’s speaking out for many reasons. She wants the government to approve the drug and she wants people to see that it is possible, although expensive, to live a healthy life with PKU. She’s speaking out because she spent many of her teen years in hospital because she didn’t stick to the diet and she wants young people with PKU to understand how important it is to stick to the rules. But, in the end, she’s speaking out because of a moment during her nursing studies in Vancouver when she discovered the only exposure she and her classmates would receive on the disease was one paragraph in a textbook. “I was mad when I saw that. That wasn’t good enough for me. So I did a report on it for the class and decided I had to keep speaking out.”

ABOVE: Amanda Cosburn takes a sample of her blood each week and sends it to be analyzed. BELOW: Cosburn shows one of the boxes she uses to make a formula she needs to survive. Cosburn, a nurse at Berwick on the Park, has the disease parents know as PKU, which means she must limit her intake of protein significantly. She spends hundreds of dollars monthly on foods she can eat or use to make other dishes. A drug available in some parts of Canada could help improve her life, she said, but B.C. has not approved it.

The KamloopsThompson school district worked on a definition of health this week and the result was hundreds of Grade 6 students having fun while they learned. Sherry Stade, the district’s health promoting schools co-ordinator, brought the group to the Tournament Capital Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 23, to hear from Paralympian Jessica Vliegenthart and then to disperse to four areas to learn about teamwork, mental health, movement, resiliency — and play. Stade said the health-literacy forum, a first for the district, came together through a variety of partnerships to address a simple reality: If you’re not OK in the head, you’re not going to be able to succeed at school, at tasks, at goals and at life. Stade said youngsters experience a wave of emotions and often can’t name them, which is a key element to understanding them.

Working with the city, the Interior Health Authority, local farmers and other schools, the one-day event brought together student mentors and other teachers to teach and hopefully inspire the youngsters to have a better understanding of themselves. Stade said a moment in Vliegenthart’s talk with the group resonated when the Fulton and Co. lawyer challenged the students. “I’m encouraging you to encourage someone else to stay active,” she told them. “And for those of you who don’t do this, try catching the ball and taking a shot. It does not matter if the ball doesn’t go in; if you don’t shoot, you’re never going to score.” The wheelchairbasketball athlete told the students her story, one of an active, happy youngster, always outside playing with friends and involved in sports — even soccer, something she was good at, but didn’t really like much. She had goals and ambitions, all of which

GET YOUR GLOW ON! The City of Kamloops wants you to Get Your Glow On and, in partnership with Kamloops This Week, the message is being delivered door to door in the Tournament Capital. The city has given Get Your Glow On pedestrian reflectors to all KTW newspaper carriers, who will use them to increase their visibility while on their routes. “We consider the carriers to be

ambassadors for our program,” said Colleen Lepik, transportation coordinator for the city. “They will also have tip cards so they can tell people what the program is all about.” Spreading the word about traffic safety and being visible is indeed the key, which is why the city will be launching the fall/winter Get Your Glow On program at a hightraffic crosswalk this week. City staff, community safety volunteers, RCMP officers and Kamloops This Week carriers will gather in the 500-block of Columbia Street on Friday, Oct. 25, to tell the community all about the program, which will run to the

end of the year and include public attention being paid to intersections and school zones. Tip cards and reflective items will be handed out to reinforce the safety message, with residents urged to wear the gear, practise the tips and spread the word. Lepik said Get Your Glow On is all about ensuring all users of the road — drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders and inline skaters alike — are aware of one another and are fully aware of their surroundings. For more information about road safety, go online to bikesense. bc.ca and kamloops.ca/communitysafety.

wide basis for consistency, security and ability to audit results. No provincial or federal voting has been conducted online in Canada, but municipalities including Halifax and Markham, Ont., have tried it, as well as some U.S. and European jurisdictions. Archer said online voting has unique challenges such as the need to verify a person’s identity and then keep that separate from their voting choice. Another issue is how to verify security of a range of computers, tablets and mobile phones that could be subject to software tampering. “It’s not like banking online, it’s not like dating online, it’s not like making a purchase online,” he said. The panel has posted its preliminary report at internetvotingpanel. ca and is seeking public comments until Dec. 4. It plans to make recommendations to the government on the next steps in February.

B.C. isn’t ready to consider a wholesale shift to Internet-base voting in either local or provincial elections, according to a new report from Elections B.C. Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer released the report on Wednesday, Oct. 23, warning that, even if a host of technical and security issues can be resolved, there is no consistent evidence voter turnout would be increased. Archer asked the B.C. government in 2011 for authority to conduct pilot projects for electronic voting. The government appointed him to chair an expert panel last year,and its preliminary findings are not encouraging. While there are likely benefits for voters with disabilities or in remote locations, the report concludes governments should not expect either lower costs or greater participation from voter access via computers and mobile devices. Despite the widespread use of new technology by young people, a survey of other results showed middle-aged and older people more likely to use online voting. The committee recommends online voting be considered first as an option for people with access restrictions, such as those who vote by mail. It says universal voting should only be be attempted on a province-

The majority of respondents to a survey by the Kamloops Voters Society (KVS) may want the city to hold a referendum on the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine, but a majority of city councillors isn’t sure it’s a good idea. After KVS’s survey found 63 per cent of its more than 2,700 responders want a chance to weigh in on the project near Aberdeen, KTW polled council to get their thoughts on a vote on the mine and how it would look on the 2014 ballot. • Coun. Nancy Bepple: “It’s not our decision to make of whether the mine would go ahead or not. “What our job is as a city is to ensure

brought forward by that time I would not support it. “But, if all the information is brought forward by that time, then it could definitely be a good option.” • Coun. Donovan Cavers: “Public opinion shapes council opinion lots of times and that’s a very clear way to get a good picture. You can gauge letters and stuff, but a referendum’s a much better way to get a clear stance.” • Coun Ken Christian: “It would be akin to having a referendum on capital punishment. “You like to gauge the opinion of the citizens from time to time but that’s nothing more than another opinion. “What we really need instead of more opinions is more facts.”

“That’s the best thing for it as far as I’m concerned. That’s the point when the decision can be made by me and maybe other people in the community.” • Coun. Tina Lange: “I would love for us to have everybody weigh in and for us to say to the government, ‘listen, look what our community is saying.’ “My concern with having a referendum though is we the city will not be in a position to provide information, which means we’re not going to be able to do our job. “If you have a referendum it’s very important that the information is in front of the people who are voting.” • Coun. Nelly Dever: “The homework needs to be done, the research needs to be done and all of the information needs to be present . . . Unless all of the information is

that our concerns are addressed through the environmental review process. “That’s what our role is.” • Mayor Peter Milobar: “If we ultimately went down that road, the reality is you’d have the people who don’t want to see it go forward being very vocal — and understandably so — but I would be surprised if the company sat back and didn’t put resources into a yes campaign at the same time. “And that would inflame things even more for, essentially, a vote that’s not binding on anyone.” • Coun. Arjun Singh: “I think on the Ajax issue it’s a question of having all the information. “My stance is I can’t personally make a decision on that until I’ve got the final application in front of me.

Audit ﬁnds serious bookeeping errors By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Serious bookkeeping errors were identified in an audit of the Kamloops-based Metis Commission for Children and Families of BC that throw doubt on reports from the agency to the provincial government. The audit, commissioned by the government and implemented by the Grant Thornton LLP accounting firm, noted “an extraordinary high number of adjusting journal entries” in the agency’s financial statements. In 2010, there were 46 accounting for $151,390 in adjustments to the statement; the following year, there were 33 addressing $1.2 million in adjustments and, last year, there were 28 accounting for $590,988. The norm, the audit said, would be from three to five adjustments in a year that might be found during year-end bookkeeping, often items like accrued vacation or deferred revenue. The audit noted this number would have led to year-end auditor fees that would “likely be significantly more than needed” and that quarterly reports to the Ministry of Children and Family Development, which provides funding to the agency, “would be seriously inaccurate and, therefore, the funding party [the ministry] to this not-for-profit should not bear confidence that the past reports have any merit.” The audit also noted the board has not had the mandated number of members for at least two years and that, in a threeyear period, five directors received $53,315 in the

form of honoraria for serving on the board. Vancouver-based Kim Bayer received $4,400 in that period and Larry Railton, manager of services of aboriginal students at Langara College, received $3,475. Board president Marlene Swears, described on the commission website as the CEO of an agency in Williams Lake, received $20,200. Treasurer Agda Neumann, described on the website as a former crisis-intervention worker who spent much of her work life at Vancouver’s Eastside, received $13,565. Commission vice-president Lynne Thompson received $11,675. The commission website does not identify

her location or work, but notes she has a degree in social work. Three — Neumann, Swears and Thompson — also received $5,000 bonuses in November 2011, money that came from a government contract’s “administration dollars,” Neumann told the auditors. Thornton’s auditor discussed finances with the board and noted Neumann “responded that she had lengthy experience in financialmanagement capacities during her career” and was diligent in conducting reviews and checking the quarterly reports sent to the ministry. She added she was available to the agency’s financial officer to assist him. The audit said the

financial officer “did not recall” discussions with Neumann or other board members on the statements or quarterly reports. Thornton was hired to conduct two audits — on the commission and the White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society. Both at the time had the same executive director — Deb Canada. Canada told KTW she has subsequently left that position with White Buffalo and has been hired as a contractor. KTW has asked if a new executive director has been appointed, but the White Buffalo agency has not replied. • Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to read previous stories on the audits.

Dermatology in B.C. hanging on by its skin By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The head of dermatologists in the B.C. Medical Association (BCMA) is concerned about Kamloops. Dr. Evert Tuyp’s worry stems from a decision by Dr. Richard Lewis, the city’s only practising dermatologist, to now split his time between Kamloops and Newfoundland, where his former medical partner, Dr. Christopher Sladden, relocated his practice last year. Tuyp said Lewis’s decision is indicative of a never-ending trend for the specialty in the province — it’s difficult to attract and retain dermatologists when the fees they are paid are among the lowest in the country. Lewis, reached in Newfoundland, said the situation involves more than the fee schedule, however; the dermatologist shortage is acute and shows no signs of improving. He said the only dermatologist in Prince George is retiring at the end of the year, leaving Lewis, another dermatologist also in his 70s who works part-time in Penticton and one in Kelowna. In Newfoundland, Lewis is working in Clarenville, a community about two-thirds the size of Kamloops

and with no dermatologist. The nearest dermatologist would be in St. John’s, a two-hour drive away, or Sladden, who is about an eight-hour drive away. There are no dermatologists in Prince Edward Island, Lewis said. Tuyp said Health Match BC, the government’s recruitment service, has 24 dermatology positions listed on its website, a number he does not see ever being filled with doctors. The University of British Columbia trains doctors in the specialty, but only graduates no more than three a year In discussions with the graduating class, Tuyp said, each has told him they have no plans to stay in their home province and will head to other parts of Canada, where the fees are better. That was Sladden’s point when he wrote a letter to then-health minister Michael de Jong last year, advising he would be quitting his Kamloops practice. Sladden said the main reason he made the decision is because the fee schedule paid to dermatologists through the medical-services plan has not increased the rate in years. Sladden told KTW at the time he can bill the MSP $60 for a consul-

tation on a cancerous skin growth and then $40 to remove it. The overhead for the procedure is $40, he said, while the tax on the income is about another $30, leaving Sladden a net income of $30 to treat the cancer. At one time, Tuyp said, B.C. ranked near the top of the scale for the specialty, but now ranks 10th out of 10 provinces.

year, graduated with a medical degree in 1966 and dermatology specialty in 1971. He announced several years ago that he planned to retire, but continues to practise. Not all dermatologists are full-time, either, Tuyp said. While general practitioners can do dermatological work and some take a short-term course in the specialty,

In P.E.I., for example, a dermatologist would be paid $107.99 for a consultation, while the same visit in New Brunswick has a $102.95 fee. Tuyp said another issue to be addressed is the fact at least onethird of the province’s dermatologists are 65 or older and will be retiring Lewis, who will be 73 at the end of the

Tuyp said specialists who have taken the three years of full-time studies “are better at diagnosing conditions faster and then treating them with fewer visits.” Tuyp said a telederm program in the province is available, but is also staffed by the few specialists already trying to handle their workloads. Tuyp said he is approaching the media about the situation now

because the BCMA and the province are in discussions about another 10-year agreement. “And I’m hoping, if we make a lot of noise, we might get something,” Tuyp said. “If we don’t, we’ll just hear, ‘There’s an agreement in place. Let’s talk when it’s done.’ And if we can’t do something now, nothing will ever happen.”

Misunderstanding mental illness — again

T HAS BEEN about a month since the Washington, D.C. Navy Yard shootings. With the activities last week of Mental Illness Awareness Week and, ironically, Thanksgiving, the Washington tragedy raises more questions than answers for mental health practitioners. When we have been so successful as a culture and society in reducing the stigma of HIV/AIDS, why is the prejudice against mental illness increasing? It was this prejudice that led Washington shooter Aaron Alexis to believe he could not or should not tell anyone about his symptoms for fear of losing his job. In most work environments — and certainly in the case of Alexis — it remains an occupational and social detriment to

admit a mental illness. Is there nothing we can do to balance a reasoned approach to disclosing mental illness and preserving privacy at the workplace? Given these events appear to be so common in the news, how do mental-health practitioners go about the nearly impossible task of reassuring people in the community that mentally ill people pose very little risk of violence, and that only a very small amount of untreated mentally ill become violent, and that mentally ill people are more often the victims of violence than the perpetrators of it? In Canada,

American news has in many ways been taken as “our news,” so how do practitioners explain to the public it is the absolutely insane gun laws and extreme gun ownership in the United States — not mentally ill people — that causes these mass shootings? Australia, Great Britain and Japan banned personal ownership of many types of weapons in the 1970s and 1980s after mass shootings occurred in their countries. They have not had a single mass shooting since that time, although it would be ludicrous to say there is no more mental ill-

ness in those places. In the United States, more people are killed by guns than by car accidents — and 100,000 additional people are wounded by firearms every year. But, after every mass shooting, the discussion is about mental illness and the link between violence and mental illness is once more embedded into the public consciousness. The more practitioners try to convince the public that people with mental illness deserve compassion, understanding and support, the more a news report emphasizing mental illness in a violent death undermines the effort. Yet another question arises: If Alexis had the proper support for his delusional symptoms, would he have picked up a firearm in the first place?

When you combine all of this with the new federal government legislation that effectively creates a “treatment sentence” for some people found not criminally responsible for a crime, mental-health practitioners can feel somewhat overwhelmed with the obstacles to an enlightened public. If our legislators are that ignorant of mental illness and effective management of it, what opportunities do we have to bring understanding and compassion to the public? We cannot change the world’s, or even Canada’s, understanding of mental illness, but we certainly hope we can influence our little corner here in Kamloops and the Thompson-Nicola region. We urge people to see beyond the head-

FALL SPECIAL

lines, the hype, the gun lobby and their own fears and reflect on what a lonely place it can be for people with mental illness at times like these. We know you have strong feelings about

this issue and we have heard from several of you, but if you would like to tell us what you think, email us at kamloops@cmha. bc.ca and follow us on Twitter @ CMHAKamloops.

MORTGAGE MATTERS

A heavy tax-break request

Planning a Purchase? Know the FIVE C’s of Borrowing Money

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

If granted, a tax break requested by big industry in Kamloops could hike homeowners’ tax bills by seven per cent — or about $120 per average-assessed home. Representatives from Domtar, Tolko, Arclin and Lafarge were at city hall this week to ask council to bring down their tax rate, which they said is double the provincial average for heavy-industry ratepayers. In 2012, the four companies were paying property taxes of just under $79 per $1,000 of assessed value. Domtar general manager Carol Lapointe said competing pulp mills in other B.C. cities were paying about $40 per $1,000. That makes it challenging for Domtar to stay competitive while staying in Kamloops, he said. While Lapointe would not reveal to council exactly how much of the mill’s $6.2-million tax bill impacts the cost of producing pulp, he said it’s a significant piece for the company. Tolko Industries plant manager Tyler Harris said his company wants the rate lowered not only for itself, but because it relies on Domtar’s business. “They’re a customer of ours. They take products from Campbell River, Heffly Creek, Kelowna. When A line shut down, there was a ripple all the way through,” Harris said, referring to

the spring closure of one of the mill’s pulp machines, which led to more than 100 jobs being cut. “I don’t know that we feel the public needs to necessarily bear the brunt of the reduction in taxes,” Harris said. “But, we need to make sure we’re creative and keep a good, solid citizen in town competitive.” Questioned by council, Lapointe said the four companies would like to see the rate halved by 2015. That would leave a $3.5-million hole in the city’s budget, finance director Sally Edwards told council. When the city gave heavy industry a small break last year, amounting to less than a quartermillion dollars, residential taxes went up an extra $7 per averageassessed home. Edwards said a shift of the magnitude requested by heavy industry would take more time to figure out. Lapointe said Domtar and the other companies are willing to be somewhat flexible in their bid to pay lower taxes. “It’s not a closed discussion,” he said. “We’re ready to work with you… but we need a significant move.” Coun. Ken Christian had his own request for the mill in return — a guarantee Domtar will continue to operate its Kamloops mill. “Those jobs are important to the City of Kamloops and they’re important to your employees and,

in terms of shifting the tax rate, your commitment to Kamloops is important,” Christian said. Lapointe said the company can’t commit to staying, but noted remaining in Kamloops is more likely if it’s easier for the mill to turn a profit. While councillors signalled their interest in reducing the tax burden for industries, how that will happen still needs to be decided. Councillors agreed to integrate comments from the companies into this year’s budget discussion, but voted against a motion from Coun. Nancy Bepple to start drafting scenarios that would shift the $3.5-million loss in tax revenue onto various other tax classes. Coun. Arjun Singh wants to hear more from other taxpayers who will be affected by the move, while Christian said the city also needs to look at the possibility it may not be able to recoup the tax money it would lose from industry. “We talk about shifts from industrial to residential or from industrial to commercial or businesses,” he said. “We don’t talk about cutting back the budget by the amount of the break we would be giving to industry and that, I think, is a significant aspect of this that we should look at.” The city’s first public consultation on the 2014 budget will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 7 p.m. at Interior Savings Centre.

Purchasing a home is a major decision; it represents the single largest purchase a family will ever make. So when it comes to qualifying for home financing, what should you know? Here are the 5 C’s important to the bank: Capital – How much do you have to put down for the purchase of your new home? The larger the down payment, the less risk you present to the lender. 5% is the normal down payment required to purchase a home in Canada. However, if your credit is good, there are a few lenders who can gift you the down payment in return for a higher mortgage interest rate. Having no down payment is not always a limitation. Capacity – Is your income sufficient to support the repayment of the requested loan amount? Most lenders will allow about 40% of your income to go towards housing costs and debt. The housing and debt calculation looks like this: monthly debt payments plus housing costs plus heat plus ½ strata fees if applicable must be under 40% of gross income. Be aware: Monthly debt payments includes: car loan, credit card, lease payments, etc. Housing costs include mortgage and taxes for all your properties Heat is usually estimated between $85 to $100 per month Credit – Is the financial institution confident that you will pay them back? Credit is the evaluation of your habits when it comes to borrowing. If you have never taken out a loan or used a credit card, you may be surprised to find out you have no credit rating at all! A credit check reports your credit history and provides a numerical score based on your habits of borrowing and repaying debt (0 to 900, 900 is best). Collateral – Will the real estate purchase offer suitable collateral to the lender? In the event of a default, the lender will sell your collateral to recoup their loan plus foreclosure expenses. So, lenders will do their homework to ensure the property is in good condition with good resale value. They may not always agree with your purchase price. In some cases, lenders will require an appraisal. Character – What kind of impression do you make? Character is your reputation and reliability. The bank may not have had prior dealings with you, so how do they determine your character? The lender will often look at your: •Assets/ Debt/ Net worth – How have you spent your earnings? What do you have to show for it? •Educational background and work experience *People with a transient job history or address history are seen as less reliable than someone who has been in a home or job for 20 years.* For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

COVER PAGE STORY

Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

YOU TELL US Do you agree with city council’s wage-hike decision? Let is know at editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

As a taxpayer, what are your thoughts on city council’s decision to vote itself a pay hike? Is it too much? Not enough? Just right? Should the matter be voted on again due to the absences of three councillors? Would you run for city council? Why or why not? Send us your thoughts on the issue: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cavers cites time as issue X From A1

“I think all the councillors this term in particular take this job very seriously,” he said “We come from different walks of life and we represent different constituencies in the City of Kamloops. And I think we all do it to the best of our ability.” Cavers said sitting on council has been a financial hardship for him and has taken a toll on his catering business, Conscientious Catering. “With my catering business, my best year was the year before I got on council and then my actual net income dropped by $10,000 in the next year,” he said, noting the issue is largely one of time. “You’re answering emails at all times of the day,” he said. While he admits he could scale back some of his public availability, Cavers said it’s what he would expect of a city councillor as a private citizen. Before she stepped away from her private business three years ago, Lange said she was

struggling with similar issues to Cavers. “When I ran my own business, I basically killed myself because I was working 24 hours a day,” she said. “I’d go back and work nights because this job, depending on the time of year, is 25, 30 hours a week, and they’re not all together.” She said a higher pay rate may make it easier for business people and residents supporting families to step forward for council. That’s essentially the argument made by a citizen task force on council pay, which suggested the pay increases. Brant Hasanen, chairman of the council remuneration task force, said the current council’s pay is so low that it’s a financial cost to serve as an elected official. “Is it fair and is it just to ask members of the community to put their names forward to serve as councillors at a financial cost?” he asked in a presentation. Besides the pay raise, councillors will now have the option to tie into the city’s benefits program, but will pay 50 per cent of pre-

mium costs. The mayor will continue to get full benefits.

Pay dock followed by pay raise While councillors were giving themselves a raise in 2015, they also scrapped an increase to their own paycheques that was meant to kick in next year. In the spring, when council originally voted to strike a task force to look at remuneration, it also voted to give itself a raise of a little over $1,000. Coun. Arjun Singh asked council to do away with that plan, which he said wasn’t popular with anyone in the community. “That is always a bad situation where members of the public are looking at it and seeing members of council giving themselves a raise,” said Singh, who had pledged to donate his raise to charity. The motion was approved unanimously.

Milobar: New vote would hinge on Lange X From A1

All three absentees have not been in favour of the move to re-examine council pay or raise salaries for the next term. Without the trio at council, the vote passed by a margin of 4-2. But, Milobar said, he isn’t sure the presence of more naysayers would have made a difference. “I guess it really would have been whether Coun. [Tina] Lange would have ultimately changed her vote had it been all nine of us there or not,” he said. Lange voted against motion, but said afterwards it was because she wanted councillors to get their pay raise all at once, rather that slowly stepping up wages over three years.

The B.C. Community Charter allows council to reconsider its decision on a matter if a councillor who cast a majority vote seeks to reopen the issue at the next regular council meeting. The mayor also has the option to bring an item back to the table within 30 days of voting. Asked whether he would consider that option, Milobar said it’s too early to give a definitive answer. “We don’t meet again until Nov. 6,” he said. “There’s a lot of time to gauge and see where we’re at with it or not. “Certainly, I guess a lot of it hinges on Coun. Lange in terms of if it did come to a reconsideration vote and it turns out to be five to four instead of four to two.”

SHIRLEY JOAN MARTIN February 13, 1933 – October 17, 2013 On Thursday October 17, Shirley passed away peacefully with family by her side in Kamloops, B.C. Shirley was born in Vancouver, British Columbia to Blanche and Charles MacKenzie. She is survived by her loving husband Tom Martin, and her children Tom (Kate), Glen (Sandy) and Sandra (Paul) Martin-Weir. Shirley will be sadly missed by her grandchildren Sean, Chris (Jenny) and Graham Martin; Taylor (Sarah) and Houston (Rosie) Kilmartin; great grandchild Clara Kilmartin…. and hopefully many more to come! She is survived by her dear sister Mary (Don) Pifer. Shirley was engaged to Tom after a three week courtship, and married on March the 6th, 1954 at Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver with an Air Cadets Honour Guard, as ushers and escorts. During school Shirley was active in grass hockey, choir, singing for the Knox Choir Operetta Group as Soprano, and ﬁgure skating. Shirley taught swimming with the Vancouver Sun Swimming Pool Programs. Mom loved to entertain her family and friends. She enjoyed fabulous adventures with Dad all across North America while serving Gyro, and the Canadian Insurance Industry, she was the consummate hostess. Shirley became an avid golfer when the family moved to Kamloops in 1965 serving as a Captain of both the Ladies Divisions of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club and Rivershore Estates. Mom loved to sit at her player piano with her grandsons singing show tunes and having great fun with her best friend Tom and family around her. It is with deep emotions and love that we all say good bye to this lovely lady. We would all like to express gratitude and deep appreciation to the Kamloops Senior Village staff for their exemplary care during mom’s residency there. You guys are the Best! A Celebration of Life will be held at the Kamloops Seniors Village’s multi-purpose room, 1220 Hugh Allan Drive, on Saturday November 2, 2013 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.

LAVIGNE We regretfully announce the sudden passing of Michael John Lavigne.

One night a man had a dream, He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Blazers bid adieu to Bozon in WHL trade By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

IM BOZON WANTED out of the Tournament Capital. Kamloops Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner was happy to oblige. Kamloops shipped the Swissimport forward to the Kootenay Ice on Tuesday, Oct. 22. “I thought he was unhappy and it was pretty evident in his play,” Bonner told KTW. “He wasn’t happy here and we weren’t real happy with the way he was playing.” Kamloops sent Bozon and defenceman Landon Cross, both 19, to the Cranbrook-based club in exchange for 17-year-old forward Collin Shirley, 18-year-old defenceman Matt Thomas, first- and fifth-round picks in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft and a third-round selection in 2014. “I love Kamloops and, for sure, even if we had a winning team this year, I wanted to stay,” said Bozon, who signed with the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens in May. “But, it’s the way junior hockey is. We lost a lot of players and I probably didn’t fit well with this new group.” Bozon and his agent, Rollie Thompson, approached Bonner about two weeks ago and the parties agreed the move was best for both teams. “I could see it coming,” Bonner said. “There was a big change for him from the last two years, with who he was playing with . . . with the way everything was going and how his play was.” The Blazers’ 27th overall pick in the 2011 CHL Import Draft had an explosive start to his WHL career, recording 36 goals and 71 points in the 2011-2012 campaign. To say he found chemistry playing on a line with Colin Smith and JC Lipon — both now signed with

NHL clubs — is an understatement and Bozon’s encore performance last season was impressive. The man of many languages — he speaks four: English, French, German and Italian — reached 91 points in the 2012-2013 WHL campaign, tallying 36 goals to match the previous season’s total. But, as Bonner alluded to, Bozon’s surroundings this season were different, with the Blazers having lost nine of their best players, including Smith and Lipon, both of whom are trying to catch on in the American Hockey League. The left-winger’s play has been sporadic at best through 13 games and Bozon’s body language on many nights was indicative of a player who lacked inspiration. Amidst the lacklustre effort and inconsistency, there were flashes of brilliance, like when Bozon buried two goals in a 3-1 win over Seattle on Oct. 16, with both markers demonstrating how deadly he is capable of being. That game, as it turned out, would be his last playing in Blue and Orange at Interior Savings Centre. He has three goals and seven points, to go along with a minus-five rating. “I’ve known I would be traded for two weeks and for sure it’s been weird,” Bozon said. “I’ve been part of the leadership group and I didn’t say a word. Maybe people will be like, ‘Whoa, why is he not talking anymore?’ That was the reason. I knew I was getting traded. I had nothing to say anymore . . . just be patient and wait for the trade.” Shirley, a 6-foot-2, 181-pound forward, had a solid rookie campaign, notching nine goals and 23 points. He’s had a slow start this season, but Shirley arrives in Kamloops with some pedigree, having been drafted by the Ice in the first round of the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft, while Thomas is an unproven,

Forward Tim Bozon, seen here playing in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game in Kelowna in 2012, was dealt from the Kamloops Blazers to the Kootenay Ice on Tuesday, Oct. 22. D-man Landon Cross was also traded to the Ice. Allen Douglas/KTW

undrafted blue-liner. The Blazers traded away draft picks on their quest for WHL championships over the last two years and, earlier this season, they sent a thirdround pick to Red Deer in exchange for forward Tyson Ness. Bonner was happy to recoup some of those picks in the deal with the Ice. The trade is about the present for Kootenay and the future for Kamloops. “With as competitive as the Eastern Conference is and with goals being so hard to come by, this was an opportunity to add one of the WHL’s premier goal scorers to our lineup,” said Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth, whose team sits sixth in the conference with a 6-5-2-0 record. “We are also adding a top-four defenceman that will help solidify and give more depth to our blue-line group.”

Blazer fans will wonder what this deal means for them now — for the remainder of this season. “It’s a fair question,” Bonner said. “The reality is, with older players in our lineup, we were 4-9. I don’t look at it as we’re downgrading for this year. If we’re happy with where we’re at with our record, we’ve got issues. “It’s an opportunity now, especially for our captain [Matt Needham], to really take over our team and become the leader.” In a conversation with KTW, Needham wished both his former teammates well, noting it was evident at times Bozon was unhappy with the scenery in the River City. Kootenay’s newest additions will return to Kamloops on Dec. 6, when the Blazers host the Ice at ISC. That’s when Blazer Nation will have its chance to voice its opinion of the departed.

“I want to win all the time and, in the situation that we’re in now, it’s been tough,” Bozon said. “It should be the last year in my junior career, my last 50 games, and for sure I want to finish it up with a great experience. “I had two great years here and I want to thank the Blazers for that.”

The junior-hockey scene The Blazers will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak when the Everett Silvertips are in town on Saturday, Oct. 26. Game time is 7 p.m. at ISC. Meanwhile, the Kamloops Storm are hosting a pair of Kootenay International Junior Hockey League tilts at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. 100 Mile House is at McArthur on Friday, Oct. 25, and Chase will visit Kamloops on Saturday. Game time both nights is 7 p.m.

SPORTS RAIDERS’ RUGBY AT THE RANCH After the fog burned off, it was a beautiful day for rugby at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh on Saturday, Oct. 19. The Kamloops Rugby Club Raiders hosted the Bayside Sharks of South Surrey in B.C. Rugby Union men’s first- and second-division play. The Sharks took a bite out of the Raiders in the first-division tilt, winning 55-14, but Kamloops squeaked past Bayside in the seconds showdown, earning a 32-29 victory. The Raiders’ women were triumphant on the Lower Mainland on Saturday, posting a 30-27 win over Burnaby Lake. Each of the Raiders’ squads are on the road this weekend.

Perrin sees salary spike By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Gord Perrin is likely not the type to make it rain, but the former TRU WolfPack volleyball player is accumulating the dollars to do so. “He just signed in Turkey for 220,000 euros on a one-year deal and the taxes are very low there,” said Pat Hennelly, who scouted Perrin at Prince Charles secondary in Creston and wooed him to the Wolves in time for the 2007-2008 Canada West campaign. “Really, he’s looking at closer to $300,000 Canadian for one year and, again, with the low taxes, it’s like making half a million dollars.” The 6-foot-6 giant from the Kootenays plays in the top Turkish professional league for Arkas Sports Club, located in Izmir, the hometown of Behlul

Yavasgel, formerly a teammate of Perrin’s with the WolfPack, currently an assistant coach with TRU. Perrin had difficulties academically at TRU and left the WolfPack with two years of eligibility remaining to train fulltime at the Volleyball Canada National Training Centre in Gatineau, Que. Now a staple of the men’s national squad that’s preparing for a run at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, Perrin remains a valuable recruiting tool for Hennelly despite the dominant left-side’s early exit from Kamloops. “The end goal for us is to get guys a university degree,” Hennelly said. “But, with Gord, we’re very proud of his development at TRU and we’re able to use it as a tool.

“He wasn’t a very dedicated athlete and he didn’t hit the weights very hard in the off-season. Other coaches saw how we took a guy they threatened to cut from the youth national team to, two years later, he’s the captain of the junior national team.” Perrin has been known to email potential WolfPack recruits at the request of Hennelly. Among the list of TRU alumni who went on to play professionally are Perrin, Joel Caschetto, Andy Haley, Tony Zylstra, Martin Stenderup, Colin Jaggard, Josh Boruck and Kevin Tillie. The Creston product tops the earnings list by a long shot, but, with professional leagues across Europe and Asia gaining steam, Hennelly said there is plenty of opportunity opening up for current and future WolfPack players.

TRU opens volleyball season with rivalry games X From A29

“There are people making a million dollars a year over there and we watched a European Cup final game between Gord’s team and a Polish team where there were 15,000 people in the stands,” the fiery WolfPack coach said. “Gord’s first contract was in the 50- to 60-thousand dollar range and his second was between 60 and 70. “It’s not only men, either. Women make good money, too.” During his time at TRU, Perrin

was a Canadian Interuniversity Sports first- and second-team all-star and he earned Canada West rookie of the year honours. In 2008, Perrin paced the WolfPack to a bronze medal at the CIS Nationals in Laval, Que. He was a tournament all-star. Not everyone has

that type of talent, but there is one current member of the team who might yet vie for Perrin’s title as the “best in WolfPack history.” “If Brad Gunter finishes his five years here, which it looks like he will, then he’s going to be the best player we’ve ever had in a WolfPack uniform,” Hennelly said. He might end up earning a little coin, too.

The campaign begins Both the men’s and women’s WolfPack

volleyball teams open Canada West regularseason play this weekend. TRU’s women are hosting the UBC Okanagan Heat of Kelowna on Friday, Oct. 25, at the Tournament Capital Centre. That tilt gets underway at 7 p.m., with the rematch scheduled to be held in Kelowna on Saturday, Oct. 26. The WolfPack men are squaring off with the Heat in Kelowna on Friday, with the second half of the home-andhome set slated for 7 p.m. on Saturday at the TCC.

t took roughly 20 hours of travel to get from St. John’s, Nfld., to Edmonds, Wash., but, now that he’s there, Bob Hallett is feeling strangely at home. “It’s right by the ocean and it doesn’t look all that dissimilar, really, to my own neighbourhood, but yet it’s almost 4,000 miles away,” Great Big Sea’s vocalist, fiddler, bagpiper, accordion and mandolin player (to name but a few of the instruments in his repertoire) told KTW. “Temperature-wise and climactically, it’s 11 degrees and foggy, which is almost exactly what it was when I left St. John’s yesterday morning. It feels a little bit weird.” Edmonds kicks off the final leg of the band’s 20th anniversary tour, which arrives in Kamloops on Friday, Oct. 25. To round out the year, they’ll also make stops in places that are off the usual beaten touring path — Moose Jaw, Sask., for instance. Even Kamloops is a rare stop for the band these days, with Hallett noting other B.C. destinations like Prince George have gone more than a decade without a visit from Great Big Sea. “When we did the first four legs of the tour, we didn’t hit all the places we wanted to. So the point this time was to play where we want to play,” he said. “By the time the tour is over, everyone who wants to see Great Big Sea will have had the opportunity to do so,” he said. While it took most of a year to craft a schedule that would take the band to some of its more offbeat destinations, Hallett said the extra energy was worth it. “It’s amazing,” he said. “For us it’s always fun. It’s the reason we get out of bed every day, so we can go play concerts for people. “But, for the audience, for people who fell in love with the band and haven’t had a chance to see them in a long time, you can see in their faces, you can see how happy they are to sing and dance with us.” X See EXPECT B3

Expect the classics from Great Big Sea X From B1

For fans who’ve caught more recent shows, there are still some surprises in store. While the band wrote some new material for its greatest hits compilation, XX, released last year, Hallett said the tour is an opportunity to dig deep into the Great Big Sea archives. “We essentially rehearsed just about everything we’ve ever played,” he said. “There’s probably 40 or 50 songs that we’ve never performed for one reason or another in the course of 11 or 12 albums. “We tried to get as much of it up and running as possible.” While the band’s lineup has shifted over the years, with the departure of bass and guitarplayer Darrell Power in 2003 and the addition of two supporting members at about the same time, Hallett says the core of the band’s sound has remained the same across two decades. “The essence of it was the four of us, then the three of us, then the five of us playing and singing together,” he said. “When we’re making a record, many things have come

and gone — we’ve collaborated with this huge list of people. “But, onstage, it essentially came down to us singing together and it’s been the same since day one.” It’s that collaboration, as much as the folk, rock and pop songs, that keeps audiences coming back to the band, Hallett suggested. “People sort of damn us with faint praise sometimes and call us a party band,” he said. “But, the reality is, people go to a concert to have fun and we

make sure that they’re part of it. “They get a chance to sing, they get a chance to dance. They get a chance to put their troubles and worries and concerns aside for an evening and just be themselves the way they were when they were 14. “And it’s that way for us too. Every night it’s a chance to be young again.” Great Big Sea plays Interior Savings Centre on Friday, Oct. 25. Tickets are available at ticketmaster.ca.

KSO will, KSO will, rock you

Wagon Rides to the

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kammloopsthisweek.com

Today (Thursday, Oct. 24), the Kamloops Symphony members will get together to rehearse sometime during the day. Tonight, the KSO Chorus will join the orchestra for another rehearsal. Tomorrow, the visiting performers will join with one full run-through of the show and then, tomorrow night, the KSO will present One Vision — The Music of Queen. Fortunately, said conductor Bruce Dunn, almost everyone knows almost every song the British band ever performed, so he’s confident that, when the house lights dim, it will be a Killer Queen show. The concept comes from the London, Ont.-based Jeans ‘N Classics, a series of shows that bring rock musicians together with symphony orchestras to bring the two music styles together. “One of the things that some people say about classical music

is that it’s elitist,” Dunn said, “and they don’t like it. “They don’t listen to it, but they don’t like it. “This is a way to get as many segments of the population there to hear what we do. Backing up a rock band appeals to another generation.” Last year was the first time KSO brought in one of the Jeans ‘N Classics, with lead singer Jean Meilleur and his band doing the music of Elton John. The Queen show features Michael Shotton, a Brit who loved the Beatles and spent years playing drums and singing in many original and tribute bands. Living in Canada, now, his resume includes work with Boston (Walk On), The Outpatience (Anxious Disease) and The Spoons. He also formed a band with Gordon Deppe of The Spoons and Tom Lewis of the Partland

This Friday, Saturday & Sunday

Brothers to create pop-rock band 5 Star Fall and is currently working with Rik Emmett. Dunn said Queen’s music works well with an orchestra because it was made up of four equal members. “Because of that, it’s not just one sound but a variety of them, sometimes pushing the envelope,” Dunn said. “It’s great music. I mean, who can write a rock song about a bicycle?” The show includes just a portion of the band’s discography but the obvious necessities are there — The Show Must Go On, Radio Ga Ga, We Are the Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody. The show repeats on Saturday, Oct. 26. Curtain is 7:30 p.m. each night. Tickets are at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE

Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, do not be discouraged if a few things do not go right for you this week. Most people learn from their mistakes or challenges, and you will ﬁnd a silver lining in this.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Just when you seem to be coasting along successfully, a few minor bumps may spring up, Scorpio. They won’t be enough to derail your plans, however.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, reﬂect on special times in your life because they can bring happiness. Whenever you feel a tad stressed this week, think positively and know that this, too, shall pass.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, there will be plenty of times for laughter this week, as you seem to cause giggles everywhere you go. It feels good to boost people’s spirits.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may be a party animal this week if the social opportunities arise. Just keep your head at all times and remember to celebrate in a responsible way.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a large purchase has been on your mind, but until now you may not have been able to do anything about it. Put out feelers and test the water in the next few days.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, many ideas are ﬂoating through your head, but nothing will come to fruition unless you write something down and start some action.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Plenty of opportunities for social gatherings arise now that you have made a few new friends, Aquarius. Show them you’re always willing to have a good time.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, when you have doubts about making purchases or splurging ﬁnancially, trust your gut instinct and you will be alright.You will have a good meeting on Tuesday.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 You don’t have to share every detail to be an honest person, Pisces. It is sometimes advantageous to keep some things personal.

Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle.

Murray MacRae

Today’s Sudoku Puzzle is brought to you by

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it can be hard to concentrate when you are being pulled in so many directions.You need to designate special times to handle all tasks so you can stay organized. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Sometimes taking a risk is necessary to get ahead, Libra. Now is not the time to take risks, however, Play it very conservatively for the next few weeks and then rethink your options.

Employees meet employers here…

Internment talk at KJCA A Thompson Rivers University student who was honoured earlier this year with a historical-writing award will give a talk tonight on the perserverance of Japanese-Canadians during internment in B.C. Kayla Holtslag wrote an essay called Japanese Canadians’ perserverance during World War II: Turning internment camps into internment communities. The essay won the inaugural Peter Grauer Memorial Award from the Kamloops Antiques, Collectibles and Heritage

Society, and it was printed in full in the June 27 edition of KTW. It can be read by going online to kamloopsthisweek.com and typing Holtslag’s name into the search bar. Holtslag and her professor, Tina Block, will be at the Kamloops Japanese-Canadian Association building for the talk at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24. Admission is free, but attendees are asked to register by contacting Dominic Cote at Kamloops Immigrant Services at 778-470-6101 or dominic@ kcris.ca.

Place popcorn in a very large bowl. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and, stirring constantly, cook until melted, five to six minutes. Meanwhile, melt caramels in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add to and combine thoroughly with marshmallow mixture. Remove from heat and pour over popcorn, folding together with a large, stiff rubber spatula to coat. Fold in candy, leaving Skor bits until last to keep from melting. Working quickly, lightly coat hands with butter and gently shape popcorn mixture into 16 balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool until set, about 10 minutes.

And, although I’m no longer inspired to costume myself, or even spike and paint my hair into punk rock attitude, I find that my October 31st enthusiasm is alive and well. Or, it’s undead, depending on whether it’s zombie night and we’re catching up on episodes of The Walking Dead between answering the door with hermetically-sealed, peanut-free, store-bought candy. For kids (and forgot-togrow-up-grown-ups) we know, however, and because giving away food we make is one of our favourite things to do year

However, because I’m very nearly alone in my loathing, and the other half of the people who live in this house don’t mind picking kernels out of their dental work, I don’t so much take exception to the once-a-year smell of salty-toesnacks. At the very least, a tray of Creepy Crawly Popcorn Clusters smells a whole lot better than a gloopy mess of decomposing pumpkin cadaver, and a Barbie doll that never did quite recover from being caught in her carriage after it turned back into a gourd. onepotato2potato@shaw.ca

DRIVEWAY 2013

Driveway: 2014 Mazda3 BLACK PRESS blackpress.ca

Mazda, on a global scale, is a small company, so developing new products is a major undertaking. This is why they shared engineering with the Ford Motor Company for many years but that relationship dissolved in 2010. Instead of modifying existing, co-developed vehicles platforms, engines and transmission, the company took a radical turn in the way they develop new products. I’m sure by now you have seen Mazda’s ads for “Skyactiv Technology.” This is the name for their radical design and manufacturing approach. By engineering vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, Mazda could focus on simplifying the manufacturing process to save money, a crucial part of this small companies survival. This new 2014 Mazda3 is the third vehicle to be built using Mazda’s Skyactiv Technology, behind the Mazda CX-5 SUV and Mazda6 sedan.

Looks The platform used to build this all new Mazda3 is a shared chassis with the other two Skyactiv products. They elongate, widen or shorten the platform to suit each vehicle. In this case, it is slightly shorter then the CX-5. In fact, the new Mazda3 is lower, wider and slightly shorter than the last model but the wheelbase has been stretched by 60mm. This pushes the wheels out to the corner of the car, providing a solid stance and improving interior space. Then Mazda went about hand forming the body to produce a style that conveys motion, even standing still. Sold as a sedan or hatchback, the long hood, sweeping lines and powerful stance make a statement in a class that can be rather subdued.

The dashboard is covered with, not only a soft material, rather a plush-feeling dash. Then there is the dash-mounted communication screen placed in the centre of the dash. This is standard on the middle GS and upper GT trim; the base GX is not so lucky. The driver can touch the screen to access music, navigation and phone settings

but once the car is in motion the screen is only adjustable through a rotary dial controller between the front seats. Mazda places three, easy-to-memories, buttons above the dial for access to the most common functions. On the top GT model there is even a heads-up display that sits right on top of the driver’s instrument cluster, keeping a driver’s attention on the road.

FAITH

Caught in the wilderness of life

S I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY to examine my life over this Thanksgiving season — especially reasons to give praises to God — I discovered my passion for God is not all that exuberant. I was not thinking of spiritual activities, busy-ness or rat-race religion, of how many ministries I am involved in. Busy-ness, as Lazarus’ sister Martha found out in the Gospel of John, is absolutely nothing to God. I was rather thinking about my passion for God. Author Sinclair Ferguson spoke to this issue NARAYAN MITRA in his book A You Gotta Have Heart for God: FAITH “What do you and I boast about? What subject of conversation most arouses us and fills our heart? “Do we consider knowing God to be the greatest treasure in the world and by far our greatest privilege? “If not, we are but spiritual pygmies in the world of the spirits — we have sold our Christian birthright for a mess of pottage and our true experience could be

superficial, inadequate and tragically out of focus.” That is precisely the reason we as Christians don’t have the success we are supposed to have. We don’t have the peace of God that passes beyond all comprehension. It’s so easy for us to fall into the trap of ritualistic religion or dead orthodoxy. We go to church because it’s Sunday, not because we desire and passionately want to worship God. Until we as a church — until we as individuals — learn to cultivate our passion and thirst for God, we will never experience the perfect peace of God that comes from a heart that’s full of God. The Bible is pretty clear when it says: “Be anxious about nothing” (Phil.4:6,7) — not just about a marriage that’s not doing well or about the mortgage payment. We are not to be anxious for nothing. Why do we worry, strive, connive and fight for our own way? Why do the little details of life consume our energies? It’s because we do not have a passion for God, because we don’t long for God as the deer pants for the waterbrooks in the evenings. Thankfully, God has given us instructions in the Bible on how to develop our thirst for Him. One of our models there is King David.

He had a problem or two of his own, but David was also a man after God’s own heart. Apart from Enoch, who walked with God and longed after God to the point that God took him home in a kind of mini-rapture, there is no other biblical character who longed for God like David did. One of the songs that David wrote, Psalm 63, is not a song designed to give a drumbeat to busy-ness. If we hunger for God — if He is far more than one-day-a-week escape for us — then we would understand Psalm 63 well. But, if God is simply a part of that dry routine religion we practise once a week, then what we would read in the psalm would sound dry, dull and simplistic. As we go through the song, let us remember everything a king would have to give up, being driven from his kingdom in the middle of the night. I thought about the tremendous pain and agony he must have felt knowing his own son wanted desperately to kill him. The situation was unfair in that God made David the king. He did not desire it or ask for that position. Now, he was fleeing for his very life in the wilderness. Here is a principle we can put to good use in similar circumstances in life: It

is in the wilderness we find the greatest potential for the sweetest communion with God. David’s soul is dry and barren because of the physical circumstances in which he found himself. But, he longs for that much more intimate, deep communion with his heavenly Father. No matter what our circumstances are, no matter where we are physically located, if we are children of the King, we can trust our Father all through life. Some aspects of quenching our thirst and reviving our passion for God from the great Psalm 63 that David taught me in Thanksgiving 2013, are: Focus on God, praise Him, meditate on Him, depend on Him and trust Him. narayanmitra@hotmail.com
