Dever, who is the only member of the PAC Not Yet committee who has publicly identified herself, said she has spoken to theatre directors in other cities who warned her a casino theatre is a “yellow flag.” “Quite often you are competing for the exact same acts,” she said. “Of course, you can’t bring in school acts and you’re not going to bring in dance acts and you’re not going to bring in the youth acts. But, when it comes to entertainment that is coming across the province, those acts can stop there.”

A kinder, gentler Conservative party? Cathy McLeod (right) and a supporter watch Stephen Harper’s concession speech on election night. McLeod was re-elected as an Opposition MP and is ready to hold the new Liberal government to account.

more positive outlook, what highprofile Conservative Jason Kenney called “sunnier ways,” could have been used by the party in its failed election campaign, said re-elected MP Cathy McLeod. McLeod, who was returned to office with 35 per cent of the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo vote, spent the last few days cleaning up after the successful campaign and attending to constituency business. The coming weeks will include Conservative caucus meetings in Ottawa and preparation to select an interim leader. While the three-term MP is not brooding over what could have been, she said Conservatives will have to understand why they lost power in a decisive majority switch to the Liberals and leader Justin Trudeau. “One of the things Jason Kenney said — sunnier ways — perhaps would have been more enticing,” McLeod said. When outgoing Prime Minister Stephen Harper

With Harper stepping aside as leader, McLeod declined to speculate on successors. With two terms as a government MP, the Conservative will have to

adjust to life as part of the official Opposition. Her budget and staffing won’t change, but she no longer has easy access to ministers to press for local projects and issues. “Rather than having a coffee with the minister and having a chance to directly speak with him, there’s a more formal process to catch his ear,” she acknowledged. With a history as a Conservative riding for the past 15 years, the city

was the recipient of government spending prior to the election, including $3 million in July toward the emergency water intake on the North Thompson and $2 million to Thompson Rivers University’s trades and technology programs. McLeod said she will continue to focus on making community groups aware of funding and helping them write successful applications. She noted the prov-

ince will be keen to bring infrastructure spending to the riding. For now, like most Canadians, McLeod is waiting to see Trudeau sworn in as prime minister and for the machinery of government to resume turning. She will also be sworn in again in Ottawa, taking her place on the Opposition benches in the House of Commons. McLeod will rejoin a B.C. Conservative caucus that is half its pre-election size. While the majority of Conservatives in the Interior retained their seats, gone are KootenayColumbia MP David Wilks and Kelowna’s Ron Cannan. “You have to take the cards you’re dealt and every card provides opportunity,” McLeod said. “We have an important role ahead to hold government to account and look a the future of our party.”

The excitement across Canada — and around the world — in the 48 hours since Justin Trudeau was elected prime minister-designate has been intoxicating for Steve Powrie to watch, even if the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo’s Liberal candidate won’t be reporting to Ottawa. “It’s bittersweet,” Powrie said. “On the one hand, you’re really excited for Canada but, on the other hand, you wish you could be more directly involved. “You come close and, for whatever reason, you don’t quite get there. But, it’s still going to be wonderful for the country and it’s still going to be wonderful to see.” Powrie said he was still riding the adrenaline rush from election night when he spoke to KTW yesterday. Though he is disappointed his party couldn’t capitalize on a 600 per cent increase in support in the riding, Powrie is looking forward to seeing what the Liberals can do on the federal stage. Among the first orders of business for the new government will be the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris next month, which Powrie said is being hailed as “the most important meeting of world leaders in modern history.” The summit will be the first for the Liberals and the open, collaborative and conciliatory approach to government on which they campaigned. Powrie also predicted his party would move quickly on plans to remove the two per cent cap on federal funding for First Nations programs

and amend Bill C-51. The other, larger, platform items will be longer-term goals, he said, some of which will wait until Parliament is back in session. New Democrat candidate Bill Sundhu said he hopes Trudeau is genuinely committed to his promises of an open and inclusive government. “Mr. Trudeau has made a lot of promises,” Sundhu said. “I think the task of Canadians and the opposition will be to hold him to his promises. “This is a time for change and all of us are looking forward, after — for us that were opposed to the Harper government — a very hard time,” Sundhu said. “We want a government that is inclusive, more democratic and fair. I’d like to think we’re going to give Mr. Trudeau a chance to do that.” Despite finishing runner-up in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo, Sundhu said he has no regrets. He said the “Trudeau surge” hurt the NDP locally, the desire to get rid of Harper splitting the progressive vote and allowing Conservative incumbent Cathy McLeod to be re-elected. While Sundhu said the party remains strong locally, he conceded there may need to be some changes at the national level. “I think, nationally, there is going to be a huge reassessment and evaluation of what went wrong for the NDP,” he said. “But, in this region, we ran a very strong campaign and this is one of the few regions where there was a genuine three-way race on election night, outside of the Lower Mainland.” Powrie, too, was proud of his campaign. He believes the results have set the stage for the Liberals in the next election and went as far

as saying he thought the Liberals would win the riding in a future election. “I am really happy with what we’ve done,” he said. “People did not think we could do it. “I guess where I will leave it now is whoever runs next time is starting from a 30 per cent baseline. We started from a five per cent baseline and got to where we are. I would argue that the next person has a very good chance of winning. “History is not going to be an issue next election.” Green candidate Matt Greenwood also expressed concerns about the number of promises made by the Liberals, but added he is “cautiously optimistic” Trudeau will follow through. “It completely remains to be seen whether Mr. Trudeau handles his majority more responsibly and more sensitively than Mr. Harper did his,” Greenwood said. “He has made a lot of promises about changing the way things are done. To the extent that he will follow through on those promises, that would definitely be a very good thing.” The next fight, Greenwood said, will be to ensure some form of proportional representation is used in Canada’s electoral system moving forward. The Liberals campaigned on electoral reform — not necessarily proportional representation — and a number of options, including the alternative vote, have been bandied about. “Unfortunately, if democracy is sick, the alternative vote is not a cure, it’s just a painkiller,” Greenwood said. The alternative vote is a preferential system in which voters rank the candidates in order of preference.

Cabinet ministers weigh in on Grit win CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Area politicians say a newly elected federal Liberal government that has promised major infrastructure spending will be be a boon for local projects. Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone, B.C.’s minister of transportation, said the B.C. Liberal government is ready to join major projects that could include extended four-laning of the Trans-Canada

Highway east of Kamloops. “We [already] have an extremely robust infrastructure program, particularly in transportation,” Stone told KTW. In March, Stone unveiled the province’s 10-year transportation plan, which included a pledge for $2.5 billion in spending. He said B.C. is in an enviable position with a balanced budget and low levels of debt and will be able to match any federal spending on

infrastructure. The province, with some federal funding, has committed to four-laning the TransCanada Highway from Hoffman’s Bluff through to Chase. With new federal spending, that project could be extended eastward. “Every dollar the federal government puts on the table allows us to go that much farther,” Stone said. While the federal government does not contribute

toward health capital, Minister of Health and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said the B.C. Liberal government will work with the new government in Ottawa in a bid to rework the Conservative government’s capped transfers to the provinces. Under that plan, B.C. was penalized because it has a large percentage of seniors who require a higher level of care. “We’ve always expressed concern with changes to

Ranta’s community of Cache Creek, along with neighbouring Ashcroft, are in the new Mission-MatsquiFraser Canyon riding that will be represented by Liberal Jati Sidhu It will make them among the only communities in the regional district with a government MP. “When you’ve got a member of the Opposition, it’s harder for them to get things from government than a member on the inside,” Ranta said.

However, the theatre — which Cascades parent company Gateway Casinos put off building during its initial construction phase due to parking issues — would only be able to compete with the city for about half the year. Gateway public-relations director Tanya Gabara said the theatre would still follow the amphitheatre design originally proposed by the company — an open-air facility for use in spring, summer and early fall. As for the number of seats, Gabara said an exact configuration is still in the works, but it would be somewhere between 750 and 1,000. “The design of it is nowhere near finalized, so I have no idea if the final would be in the 1,000-seat range,” she said.

Ballot count: Lowest winning percentage in 50 years CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Conservative incumbent Cathy McLeod was returned to office in Monday’s election with the lowest winning percentage for an MP in Kamloops in more than 50 years. McLeod’s 35 per cent share of the vote as the winner in KamloopsThompson-Cariboo — with the New Democrats and Liberals each at about 31 per cent — is reminiscent of victories of Nelson Riis. The veteran New Democrat MP, who represented the city and riding for two decades, was twice re-elected

with 36 per cent of the vote, coming up the middle between the Liberal and Reform parties of the 1990s. The only lower winning percentage in Kamloops came in 1963, when Progressive Conservative Charles Willoughby won in Kamloops with 29 per cent of the vote, taking advantage of a four-way race that included the Social Credit party. Vote splitting “is a real problem in this riding,” said Thompson Rivers University political scientist Derek Cook, noting nearly two-thirds of those who cast a ballot on Monday voted against McLeod and her Conservative policies.

AFTER THE

ELECTION

But, proponents ents of electoral change — buoyed by a pledge to study the issue by prime minster-elect Justin Trudeau — have called this year’s ballot “the last unfair election.” That includes Green candidate Matt Greenwood, who voted strategically — and not for himself. The Liberals have pledged to enact electoral reform within 18 months of taking office. To do that, the party will appoint a commission to study alternative ways to elect politi-

cians, cians including the th single-transferable vote that was proposed in B.C, by a commission a decade ago. The B.C. singletransferable ballot (BC-STV) initiative twice went to referendum, failing to pass rigid B.C. Liberal thresholds both times. In the first referendum held in 2005, a clear majority of B.C. voters — almost 58 per cent — chose to replace the first-past-the-post system with BC-STV. However, the Gordon Campbell government mandated that

Swamped by Liberal wave STRATEGIC VOTING HAD LIMITED EFFECT JEFF NAGEL

BLACK PRESS

For months, antiConservative campaigners from environmentalists to veterans tried to persuade like-minded voters to coalesce behind the strongest opponent in each riding. It’s unclear if those strategic voting attempts had great effect, other than to demolish Green hopes to add seats. Organizations like LeadNow and the Dogwood Initiative funded riding-level polls to try to help guide progressive voters. LeadNow recommended NDP candidates in 11 B.C. ridings, and the Liberals for two seats on the North Shore. All but three of those chosen candidates won their races. One notable exception was the choice of the NDP candidate in VancouverGranville, who ended up third behind the Liberal victor and the Conservative runnerup as voters apparently disregarded the advice. In Kamloops, the strategy failed as the Liberal and NDP

candidates amassed nearly identical votes, allowing incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod to win via the split vote. Mario Canseco, vicepresident of Insights West, which did polling for Dogwood, said strategic voting attempts appear to have had more effect on Vancouver Island than in the Lower Mainland, where those efforts were swamped by the strength of the Liberal wave. “There are certain pockets where strategic voting worked very well and probably enabled some NDP victories,” he said, adding a few New Democrats were elected on the Island who otherwise would not likely have prevailed over Conservatives. LeadNow made no recommendations in some ridings presumed to be safe Conservative seats that ended up hotly contested. Those included South SurreyWhite Rock, where Conservative Dianne Watts narrowly prevailed, as well as Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon and CloverdaleLangley City, where Liberals unexpectedly captured turf that tradi-

tionally went Tory. It’s difficult, Canseco said, for progressive strategists to get enough granular riding-level data on individual races to gauge how they are evolving in time to be useful to voters. Strategic voting was based on the premise that Liberals, NDP and Green supporters would risk leaving room for Conservatives to win many races unless they first settled on a single consensus candidate. A shorter campaign might have resulted in a Conservative victory, he said. Instead, the Liberals had more time to build momentum and present leader Justin Trudeau as a viable prime minister.

Canseco doesn’t accept one theory that the red wave resulted mainly from the Conservatives’ choice to emphasize the niqab issue in Quebec, harming NDP chances there and making the Liberals seem the more obvious alternative for the anyone-but-Harper movement. He said NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair simply did not perform as well in debates or on the campaign trail as he did before in the House of Commons, and the choice to balance the budget made him seem like “a small ‘C’ Conservative” compared to the bolder Liberals. “They weren’t able to solidify this idea that they were the vehicle for change,” Canseco said.

at least 60 per cent of all voters in the province had to vote ‘yes,’ along with requiring at least 60 per cent of all ridings to record a simple majority of votes. The latter was achieved, but not the former. A second referendum, held in 2009, failed when only 39 per cent of voters provincewide chose to replace the first-past-the-post system with BC-STV. Cook himself favours a mixed-member pro-

portional system that would more closely align the popular vote with the number of seats awarded to parties. He acknowledged none of the systems typically lead to strong majority governments. But, he noted, voters are not encouraged to strategically cast a ballot, as in the current system, because they would be able to name more than one candidate in a order of preference.

While centre parties — often the second choice in preferential ballots — often benefit from proportional representation, Cook said it may be difficult for the Liberals to abandon an electoral system that has served what is called “Canada’s natural governing party” well over the decades. “Given they’ve benefitted tremendously from the current system, you’ve got to wonder,” Cook said.

REAFFIRMING CANADA’S TONE Every election has its winners and its losers. Monday’s 42nd federal vote had it in spades. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s dramatic win may have been expected by some, but few of the even most seasoned pundits expected a victory of this scale. While Kamloops voters were still casting ballots, Trudeau and his Liberals were being crowned the next government of Canada. Coming from third, with just 35 seats, the Liberals vaulted over the ever-hopeful NDP to oust the Conservatives and claim victory. Never has a party come from third place to form a majority. Going down to defeat were several high-profile Conservatives, including cabinet ministers like Finance Minister Joe Oliver, Veterans Minister Julian Fantino, Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander. In Kamloops, the race was tight. Conservative Cathy McLeod received 35 per cent of the vote, well down from the 52 per cent support she garnered four years ago. New Democrat Bill Sundhu and Liberal Steve Powrie received 30 per cent of the vote — a decrease of six per cent for the NDP and a 25 per cent jump for the Liberals from the 2011 election. Much can be taken away from Monday’s rout. Harper and his campaign team misread the Canadian electorate. His bitter and patronizing campaign against Trudeau only offended those who watch American attack ads with disgust. His decision to make the niqab an election issue only ignited traditional Canadian support for multiculturalism. The Liberals have much work ahead of them as they try to make good on the promises they made. Conservatives, too, need to take time and assess whether their tone and tactics are what Canadians want.

Welcome back, Cathy!

ack in the spring of 2009, KTW editor Christopher Foulds wrote the following about Cathy

McLeod: “The Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP is simply an honest woman, a regular Josephine who happens to have that rarest quality among politicians: When asked a question by a reporter, she offers up an answer devoid of political bafflegab and spoon-fed sentences from party elders.” The issue was attack ads her party was running about thenLiberal leader Michael Ignatieff, a tactic McLeod criticized. It was our front-page story and, given how unusual it was back then for an MP to criticize her governing party, it was also picked up by national media. Imagine that — a Conservative MP who spoke her mind. Kamloops has returned McLeod to Ottawa, but she will be in Opposition. Will Stephen Harper, her dictatorial leader, be just another backbencher if he really does decide to stay in Parliament? Anyone taking bets? Perhaps her new reality will bring back McLeod’s forthright frankness, coming from an MP Foulds described six years ago as having sensible and honest opinions. Kamloops reporters have been luckier than many of their colleagues in other areas with Conservative MPs; while many simply ignored calls from the media, McLeod has always responded to us.

Street

LEVEL Yes, we knew she’d parrot the party line, but she at least acknowledged her role in the give and take of covering politics. In my hometown of London, Ont., folks there started a “Where’s Ed?” campaign in the run-up to Monday’s federal election, mocking the complete absence of the minister of state for science and technology from anything that might have involved speaking to reporters or, apparently, voters. He lost the election. McLeod’s comments in 2009 were also a welcome relief because her predecessor, Betty Hinton, was a Conservative MP who we knew, as Foulds described it in his column on the attack ads, “would have waxed eloquent on the production quality of the marvellous television moments, regardless of their crassness — the story would have likely been placed inside the newspaper.” Occasionally, my out-of-office path would cross with that of McLeod and it was always interesting to talk with her. Yes, there would be the anticipated responses to anything

political asked, but there were also welcome moments when the real McLeod came through. At the 2014 official opening of a preschool’s new space in the renovated Kamloops United Church, for example, I joked with McLeod about saving the plants in her Ottawa office. It was a bit mocking, to be sure, but at the time, future-hero-turned ambassador and then-sergeant-at-arms Kevin Vickers had declared plants in the House of Commons government property would be removed and sold because it was too expensive to water them. “Really, Cathy?,” I asked. “Can’t you all just water them yourselves?” The reply came from the McLeod about whom Foulds wrote five years earlier. She leaned in, put her hand on my arm and answered: “It’s absolutely ridiculous.” There she is! The real Cathy McLeod! I can’t wait to watch that one once Parliament resumes. And, for those of you who despair that the majority of Kamloopsians voted against her, do not worry. This is the same woman who was praised during her time as mayor of Pemberton for being good, for always having the time to listen to others, for taking concerns to heart, for working hard for her constituents. I don’t see her changing — and she’s already got a self-declared neighbour to all Conservatives in the new prime minister. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Including this edition, Kamloops This Week will publish eight times before the Nov. 7 referendum on the performing-arts centre. We will use letters pages to feature missives from our readers on the issue — pro and con. All letters of all subjects can also be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

attract sports teams, individual athletes and families from across Canada. We succeeded and, in so doing, not only made ourselves a population focused on health and wellness, but revitalized our economy as the business community thrived from this influx of people. There were dissenters to this proposal. People were concerned about the cost but, in the end, what was created surpassed our wildest dreams. The TCC is economically viable and the envy of other cities. Best of all, it is a place residents of all ages and from every neighbourhood use daily. While sports have played a major role in the growth of Kamloops, the city must also grow culturally to become complete. We have a strong cultural framework, but lack a major facility to tie everything together. To attract a wide expanse of performances and performers, a venue of comparable usage to the TCC is required. The arts centre proposed will incorporate a

full range of interests, from local school bands to internationally known entertainers in all aspects of the arts. This performing-arts centre will host highend entertainment, but the seats will also be filled by parents and grandparents watching their youngsters demonstrate all they have learned from the newly acquired instruction that will come from such a quality endeavour. The new performing-arts centre will help to enhance our university, our education and our health care as people from all walks of life will want to live and work in such a vibrant, wellrounded community. I see the same potential with the arts centre as we envisioned for the Tournament Capital Centre. We built it and they came. Now let’s do the same thing with a performing-arts centre. Please vote ‘yes’ on Nov. 7. Alexander Watt Kamloops

WOULD LOVE TO SUPPORT PAC, BUT NEED MORE INFO Editor: As a longtime resident of Kamloops, I have seen numerous changes over the years that have positively impacted our community. We have another important decision to make next month regarding the proposed

performing-arts centre. Before I can make an informed decision, I need several questions answered. In Sept. 29 KTW article, it was stated that part of the money will come from “gaming and federal gas-tax funds the city receives annually, and revenue from parking meters.”

If the city receives this money annually, what other programs or groups, will no longer receive this money? Where are the cuts being made? Are our new parking meters paid for yet, as the revenue was supposed to go there? My other concern is the $91million dollar bill.

South Kamloops secondary’s replacement will cost about $45 million, while an arts centre in Merritt is pegged at $4 million. Why is our proposed centre $91 million? I would love to support this, but I need answers so I can make an informed decision. Annemarie Watts, Kamloops

IF WE BUILD THE ARTS CENTRE, THEY WILL COME Editor: It’s my belief that, for a community to flourish, citizens must take an active role in supporting projects that will enhance the local economy as well as the health and wellness of the entire population. When I arrived here in 1982, I saw the great potential of Kamloops as a sporting community and was enthusiastic about recognizing our city as the Tournament Capital of Canada. While we had many great sporting facilities and venues, it was clear we lacked a focal point to make the Tournament Capital concept have real meaning. It was the lack of such a facility that prompted me and many other Kamloops citizens to approach the mayor and council of the day with the concept of the Tournament Capital Centre. The concept was not a small wish list, but a huge dream that would make the facility allinclusive so people of any athletic ability and with an interest in almost any sport would have a place to go. In turn, the facility would also

MORTGAGE MATTERS Credit Score and Home Buying Part II What many prospective borrowers don’t realize is that the pricing of mortgages and other loans is based in part on their credit-worthiness, and a person’s credit score is the established measure for credit-worthiness. People with a lower credit score can find themselves paying a higher interest rate, or denied access to certain types of loans. The good news is that by taking a few basic precautions, prospective borrowers can protect their credit report and credit score, and increase their access to better rates and a better choice of mortgage products. Do you understand the difference between your credit report and your credit score? A credit report is a detailed history of how consistently you meet your financial obligations and provides a picture of your financial health based on your past behaviour. A credit score is an objective summary that translates personal information from your credit report and other sources into a three-digit number representing your overall credit-worthiness. Both your credit report and score are important. When deciding whether or not to grant a mortgage loan, lenders refer to an applicant’s credit report and score, along with a range of other factors such as income, employment history, and down payment size. Generally, a credit score uses your past credit history to help predict how you might manage your credit in the future. The credit score used most often by Canadian lenders is the FICO score (developed by the Fair Isaac Co.), which is a number between 0 and 900. The higher your score, the more likely you are to be approved for a mortgage and receive favourable rates because the lender considers you to be a better credit risk. Several factors are used by the two credit agencies in Canada (Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada) to calculate credit scores: • • • • • •

Debt payment history. Amounts owed compared to your current credit limits with lenders. How often you seek new credit. Length of time you have had credit accounts. Type of credit, such as car loans, lines of credit, credit cards, finance company loans. Recent new credit or cancelled cards

Fortunately, there are a number of steps that consumers can take to keep their credit report and credit score healthy: Pay your debts on time – always meet due dates. Do not ignore unpaid bills. Borrow only the amount you can afford to repay. Numerous inquiries for your credit report can sometimes worsen your score. If someone is seeking a new credit card, furniture and department store loans then their credit score will be adversely affected. However, multiple inquiries within a 30 day period for car or mortgage loans have less effect. Reviewing your own credit file regularly to stay informed about the details on your file. For more information and advice on credit scores and home buying, please contact me via phone at 250-6826077, or by e-mail at steve.bucher@migroup.ca, or visit www.mortgagebuilder.ca.

PAC WOULD REMOVE ROADBLOCK Editor: I wanted to take this opportunity to speak out in favour of the proposed performing-arts centre. I’ve become very active in the community as an advocate for arts and culture and find the biggest roadblock to the advancement of the performing arts to be

a lack of relevant capacity. The city is in dire need of new and state-of-the-art facilities that are able to accommodate a higher class of performer, a process that is exceptionally costly for organizers to do with existing infrastructure. The arts centre will fill a sub-

stantial gap in the supply side of this market and should help to alleviate the inflation associated with ticket prices that occurs when acts are forced to perform in venues that won’t accommodate their expected draws. David Luca Kamloops

FIX WHAT KAMLOOPS ALREADY HAS Editor: I wonder when city council will wake up and smell the roses. It seems council is dictated to by the downtown merchants’ association. It seems council members do not have minds of their own. If council worked as hard at getting the proposed performing-arts centre approved as it did at looking after the infrastructure of the city, we would be well off. For example, the Westsyde

Pool roof was leaking in 2003 and nothing was done until 2015. Maybe there should have been some preventive maintenance done. I think some heads should roll over this error in communication. I have lived in Kamloops for 21 years and my taxes have increased every year. Spending by the current and previous councils is out of control. If people ran their households the way council runs the

city, they would be bankrupt. . I understand there are pools, rinks and other things in disrepair in this city and I think we should look after what we have before we go after a $91-million arts centre. Remember the water-meter referendum results, which our mayor refused to acknowledge? Well, if voters reject the arts centre in the Nov. 7 referendum, will the mayor do the same thing? Bruce Dahling Kamloops

ARTS CENTRE WILL BE PRAGMATIC ADDITION Editor: I chose to move here six years ago — not for the advertised 2,000 hours of sunshine a year, but because there was a thriving arts community with many arts organizations of note, including multiple theatre companies, a symphony, an active arts council and an arts school of choice. I have made a life in the arts and so people

like me are easily convinced the proposed arts centre is a great idea. It’s in our nature. It’s our business. What of those not convinced? Set aside the esoteric arguments (art is the only thing we really leave for future generations) and the moral ones (art makes people more compassionate, more tolerant and just plain

better people) and let’s look at the practical picture. The facilities we have for the companies that exist in our community are inadequate for what we need now. Trust me on this one. Having worked in many venues around town from behind the curtain, it’s true. If we intend to keep building this strong and vibrant community, we need more space that is flexible, useable and central. If you factor in the

indirect retail that would accompany the usage of downtown at night and the obvious bonus of the desperately needed parking during the day, I really do not understand why this is even a debate — whether you are an artistic soul or not. It seems pragmatic as all heck to me. Always remember, it’s called a play, not a serious. Have fun and make art. It’s good for you. Heidi Verwey Kamloops

A critic of the proposed performing-arts centre is taking concerns about the city’s prereferendum advertising to the top. Frank Dwyer said he plans to file a complaint with Advertising Standards Canada about an advertisement that appeared on page A2 of the Tuesday, Oct. 20, edition of KTW. At issue is the city’s claim the annual operating cost of the proposal $91-million arts centre and

parkade would be $900,000. “Quite clearly, no one proposing a business venture can state unequivocally what the exact operating cost will be when a facility opens some seven or eight years from now,” Dwyer wrote in an email to city CAO David Trawin. Dwyer said he’d prefer to see advertisements refer to the numbers as estimates. Trawin said he does not believe the full-page advertisement was misleading, but pledged to add “estimated at” in front of both that number and the estimated economic impact

of the centre in future information material. “Although I feel the change is irrelevant in the intent of the ad, I felt if it could alleviate one citizen’s concerns, then why not just do it as I have more important issues on my plate to occupy my time,” Trawin wrote back in an email to Dwyer. Dwyer said he still plans to proceed with his complaint. “The damage has been done and the process will help guide the city communications department in future,” he said. “These things are easily forgotten.”

Feasibility studied for year-round farmers’ market ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It could be as fancy as a yearround public market or as simple as a place for vendors to find shelter in inclement weather — but, what a year-round Kamloops farmers’ market would look like is only one of the questions a consultant will spend the winter tackling. A coalition of groups, including the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market Society and Community Futures Thompson Country, announced yesterday they will spend $55,000 on the feasibility study, which will determine whether a 12-month market is sustainable, and offer recommendations on how it should operate. The Thompson-Shuswap Chef-Farmer Collaborative and Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition are also funding the study. Soul Gardens farmer Daniela Basile believes a market could encourage people to eat locally year-round, rather than making trips to the grocery store for outof-season vegetables. “Maybe you have coleslaws and different salads with kale, things that are more to our area. They’re still nutritious,” she said. “And

people are learning to preserve things. You can put fruit away, you can put vegetables away, you can make food that can last you all winter.” Darren Stott with Greenchain Consulting said the market could be an educational tool as much as a place to buy food. “We’ve got these guys on the street here,” Stott said, indicating the Wednesday downtown farmers’ market on Victoria Street. “And, even children walking by, they can see what a carrot looks like. Normally that hasn’t been the case. Or, even better still, they can talk to a farmer.” The market could also include a teaching kitchen to increase what Stott calls Kamloops’ “food literacy.” On the farming side, Stott said year-round markets can also encourage young farmers and those with small operations, giving them somewhere to sell their products early on, when they aren’t at a stage where they can secure wholesale contracts. The study will run through the fall and winter months, with Stott making his final recommendations in March at a public open house. In the meantime, he will host workshops and focus groups

Gordon manslaughter trial: videotaped confession played in court TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Alone, frustrated and drunk. That’s the picture painted by David Gordon’s videotaped confession to police played for jurors in a Kamloops courtroom on Tuesday. David Gordon is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court on one count of manslaughter and two counts of causing damage by fire or explosion. Cheryl William died following an earlymorning house fire at Gordon’s St. Paul Street home on April 25, 2013. Court has heard William was a guest of Gordon’s roommate at the time of the blaze. Less than two hours before the fire started, Gordon’s girlfriend, Marie Ricard, was removed from the home by police after she

called 911 to say she did not feel safe after an evening of drinking. After she left, Gordon said, he retreated into his bedroom with beer and sat on the floor near a number of boxes of clothing. “Yeah, just sitting on the floor, didn’t have the TV on or nothing,” he said in the videotaped police interview. “Sitting in the dark drinking. I lit the corner of the one [box] on fire and then I tried to push it down with my shoe and it made it worse.” In the interview, Gordon said he left the room briefly and, when he returned, the box was fully engulfed. Court heard he then left his bedroom and alerted his roommate, Will Toporowski, before fleeing to a neighbour to ask them to call 911. Court has previously heard Toporowski was unable to awaken William as the fire

spread and he eventually fled the burning home. William was removed from the

home by firefighters and died in hospital four days later. Gordon’s confession

came after two days of denial. At first, he told police he went to a friend’s house and

returned home to find his house on fire. He later acknowledged he could have started the

blaze, but claimed he didn’t remember. The trial is expected to conclude next week.

THIS YEAR’S CROP IS GOING FAST.

Judge questions minimums in drug sentencing TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Less than 24 hours after the tough-on-crime Conservative government was ousted from power in Canada, a B.C. Supreme Court judge who once ran as a Liberal candidate in Kamloops has called into question the mandatory minimum sentencing that was brought in under outgoing Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Juan Lewis pleaded guilty on Tuesday to possession of crystal meth for the purpose of trafficking. Court heard the 28-year-old was spotted by a police officer riding his bike down a North Kamloops street at 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 22, 2014. The officer asked what he was doing. Lewis, after identifying himself, mentioned that he had an outstanding warrant. Lewis was arrested and a search of his backpack turned up $375 and more than 20 grams of meth — worth an estimated $1,200 — in a fake water bottle. Because Lewis has a prior conviction for possession for the purpose of trafficking — he was sentenced to a 107-day jail term in 2011 — he is subject to a mandatory minimum one-year sentence for his second offence. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Joel Groves sentenced Lewis — who he described as “not beyond redemption” — to a year behind bars, but not before implying the sentence was too steep. Once released from jail, Lewis will be bound by a lifetime firearms ban. He will also have to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database. “I will not comment on the law of sending someone to jail for a year for a $1,200 drug offence, but I will do that,” Groves said. Groves ran as a Liberal candidate in the 1997 federal election in the Kamloops riding. His 14,244 votes placed him second, behind incumbent NDP MP Nelson Riis.

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An alleged Kamloops grinch the Crown says was busted behind the wheel of a car stolen while idling outside a house on Christmas morning has been granted bail. Kirsten Hunt is facing seven charges out of Kamloops and Surrey in connection with a number of separate alleged offences. Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo said an idling vehicle was stolen from outside a Kamloops home at 4:45 a.m. on Dec. 25, 2014. The car was spotted two days later in Surrey, he said, with Hunt behind the wheel. Court heard the 23-year-old was arrested and, after initially giving police a fake name, released on a number of conditions — including one barring her from possessing identification of anyone other than herself. On June 3, Caputo said, Hunt walked into the Kamloops Real Canadian Superstore and tried to buy a cellphone using a stolen piece of identification. Court heard Hunt was only busted because the alert store clerk searched the name on the identification on Facebook and determined it was a different person. The Superstore employee then sent the woman a Facebook message, Caputo said, and was told the ID had been stolen. Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley released Hunt on bail, with conditions requiring her to abide by a curfew and live at her grandparents’ house, among others. She is due back in court on Nov. 12.

AIRPORT USE UP

Kamloops Airport is continuing to see an increase in travellers with another boost in September. Manager Fred Legace said passenger numbers increased by six per cent last month, contributing to a yearover-year gain of 2.5

per cent. Legace said tourism traffic, driven largely by the drop in the value of the loonie, is the main driver. Fulton Field is also seeing an increase in aircraft from new cargo flights operating for package delivery companies, he said.

Contentious North Kamloops bus stop will not go ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A bus stop that has divided businesses in the Tranquille Market will not be moving. Kamloops council this week voted 7-2 to keep the bus stop where it is, with councillors Tina Lange and Denis Walsh dissenting. NorKam Health Centre clinic manager Patti Aldrich has been urging the city to move the stop — located

directly in front of the Tranquille Road clinic — since the clinic opened in 2013, arguing patients who are sick or have mobility issues need to be able to unload at the front doors. The nearest loading zone is about 35 metres away, north of the bus stop. Aldrich told council earlier this fall that most patients are choosing to park in the way of buses instead, noting it’s creating

conflict with drivers. But, businesses down the block, where the bus stop would be moved, are adamant the change would destroy their livelihoods because onstreet parking would be lost. Tammy Baker, speaking on behalf of Mel’s Hair Salon, said many of the shop’s clientele are seniors who need to be able to park on the same block. City staff was also against the move, with

engineering manager Deven Matkowski proposing improved signage to make patients aware of the existing loading zone. He also said the owner of the clinic building should be encouraged to make it clear the property has a rear parking lot and elevator access to the main floor. Matkowski said flipping the position of the loading zone and the bus stop isn’t an option because there’s

only enough space for the bus to manoeuvre if it can use the Wood Street intersection in front of the stop. Coun. Pat Wallace wants to see if the situation at the stop will improve with better signage — without moving the stop. “I’ve talked to a lot of people because I live over there,” she said. “They certainly adamantly oppose anything being moved. They like what they’re doing.”

Council alters policy to help development ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For a $30-million development it hopes will bring 200 or more high-tech jobs to town, Kamloops city council is making an exception to a policy meant to protect the downtown area. Developer Frank Quinn was before council on Tuesday night, asking for permission to add general office space to his industrial and residential development, District 1452, at 1452 McGill Rd. The project has already been approved by council, but Quinn wanted permission to designate up to one-quarter of floor space for general office use — a practice the city usually only allows in its downtown core. Quinn said the space is required to allow accountants and lawyers specializing in the tech industry to work alongside other companies interested in the space. Businesses that are interested in the development are unlikely to move downtown anyway, Quinn argued, because of a lack of accessible parking spaces with enough square footage. “The owners of land in the downtown area have not been prepared to put the

kind of real estate in the downtown area that’s needed to drive employers to town,” Quinn said. “We are prepared to take that risk.” Quinn noted none of the office space in the downtown core is less than 10 years old. “It’s a chronic issue for this city,” he said. “We are losing employers because we aren’t building real estate.” Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association director Brad Alberts told council his organization isn’t in favour of the move because it could lead to more companies trying to exit the downtown for areas of the city that have more available parking. Northern Trailer founder Mark Brown told council Quinn’s project is already standard practice in industrial parks in major cities, including Vancouver and Kelowna, and is designed to lure businesses from outside the city, not attract downtown companies. “The jobs that will come into the town because of the people that will use this aren’t here now,” he said. Brown said his company couldn’t find anywhere in the city to expand when it looked to do so about six years ago

and ended up building a new facility in the Mount Paul industrial Park on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. “We wouldn’t have had to make that move if we could find the space in Kamloops,” he said. Council voted unanimously to give Quinn the space. Coun. Ken Christian said the unique nature of the project required a unique approach from the city. “I get it that there are concerns respecting vacant office space in the downtown and, hopefully, on Nov. 8 [the day after the performing-arts centre/parkade vote], we’ll be able to answer some of the concerns they have with relation to parking, but that is a different concern to the one we have before us,” he said. When she sat on the Venture Kamloops board, Coun. Tina Lange said, she dealt with companies that looked at Kamloops, but couldn’t find spaces like Quinn’s. “This is a project that would fit some of those people that we turned away, that left the city,” Lange said. “This isn’t for people who could go somewhere else. This is for people where there is nowhere else to go.” Council also agreed to let developers expand the footprint of a restaurant or pub on the property to 150 seats.

The capacity for the patio is: Patio 2 = 10 persons Residents and owners of businesses located within a 0.5 mile (0.8 km) radius of the proposed site may comment on this proposal by 1) Writing to THE GENERAL MANAGER C/O Licensing Analyst LIQUOR CONTROL AND LICENSING BRANCH PO BOX 9292 Victoria, BC V8W 9J8

Care to xeriscape? A xeriscaping seminar will be held at Thompson Rivers University on Saturday, Oct. 31. Xeriscaping: The secret to gardening with water meters will be presented by Gwen Steele, executive director of the Okanagan Xeriscape Association. It will take place between 9 a.m. and noon in the International Building and is sponsored by the Thompson Shuswap Master Gardeners Association and the TRU horticulture program. Xeriscaping does not mean rock mulch and ugly plants. Xeriscaping means gardening with the natural environment in which we live. It means gardening using the natural rainfall and choosing plants that do well in the Kamloops area. Xeriscaping saves water, saves time and saves money. It eliminates pesticide and herbicide use because plants are growing in their ideal conditions. Steele will use her extensive photo collection to illustrate the principles of design and planning, soil improvement, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, use of mulch, good maintenance and appropriate plant selection.

Tenants will be able to end a lease early if they are fleeing family violence or require long-term care, under changes the Residential Tenancy Act being debated in the B.C. legislature. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman, responsible for housing, said the changes have been sought

The B.C. government is preparing a regulatory system for carbon dioxide capture and storage facilities, allowing the greenhouse gas to be extracted from raw natural gas and pumped back underground. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman said amendments before the B.C. legislature allow capture and storage as “a permanent solution for disposing of carbon dioxide” in underground rock formations. The amendments also give the BC Oil and Gas Commission authority to determine location and feasibility of well sites, pipeline routes and other oil and gas activities. Spectra Energy and the federal government each put up more than $11 million for a carbon pilot project at Spectra’s Fort Nelson gas processing plant, with the province adding $3.4 million. The feasibility study took CO2 from raw gas, which runs between 10 and 14 per cent, and injected it into deep saline aquifers. The province is updating its climate change strategy, with an advisory panel and public discussion paper expected to produce a draft policy by December. by opposition and government MLAs in response to constituents.

The deadline for Kamloops charities to apply to the annual Christmas Cheer fund is in one week, on Tuesday, Oct. 27. This year, charities must apply online at www.kamloopsthisweek.com/2015christmas-cheer to be considered for the fundraiser. Remember to use the www in the link; if you don’t, it will just take you to the KTW home page. There have been some changes to the campaign this year and the online form is to ensure the same information for all applicants is received. Charities chosen this year will remain the beneficiaries for two years. This year, one legacy charity has been established that has always been and will remain one of those chosen, the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter. A new committee overseeing the fund will decide how many other charities to accept for the proceeds of the campaign, which launches next month and continues to Dec. 24.

High-school pigskin at Hillside Stadium The Valleyview Vikings (0-1) will face the South Kamloops Titans (2-0) in B.C. High School Football action tomorrow at Hillside Stadium. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Westsyde (0-2) is hosting the Clarence Fulton Maroons of Vernon tomorrow, with kickoff set for 5 p.m. at Hillside. The Vernon Panthers ran away from the Vikings in the second half of a senior AA Okanagan Conference tilt last week at Hillside and won 27-8. “We hung in with them for a half and then ran out of steam,” Valleyview head coach Cory Bymoen said. “They’re a tough, well-coached team that makes you earn your keep.” Running back Brooks Miller had 18 carries for 139 yards and slotback Mitch Dixon scored the Vikes’ only touchdown. Justin Young and Ethan Milobar each had a sack and Miller had seven tackles.

Brad Dalke admits it — the WolfPack swim team was just going through the motions in 2014-2015, its first year swimming in the ranks of Canadian Interuniversity Sport. But, with a team that has now doubled in size — six athletes will wear the WolfPack black and orange this season — and a year of competition under his belt, the Thompson Rivers swimming coach is no longer satisfied with just being in the same pool as the competition. “We’re basically looking to step up each year, step up this year from where we were previously,” Dalke told KTW. “It was good learning [last year]. It was very good from the point of view that we basically had the swim club working together with TRU WolfPack swimming. There’s a lot of synergies to be gained by having two organizations working together.” It was an idea that seemed natural when Dalke was announced as the coach of the upstart WolfPack club — that his Kamloops Classic Swimming club would feed graduating athletes directly into the university team. That is now happening.

Dalke hopes to add one more swimmer in the coming weeks and aims to have at least one WolfPack swimmer at the CIS Swimming Championships in Laval in January. “Right now, as I said, we had two of our swimmers graduate from the Classics last year and they moved right into the program,” Dalke said. “This year, we have five or six kids that are graduating from the Classics and we’re looking for them to hopefully transition into the program as well. “What it does for our overall program, is we now have kids that are involved in swimming here . . . that are five and six years old. Now, they can continue to swim at a very high competitive level right until they’re 23, 24, 25 years of age. “That’s pretty exciting for the community.”

First-year swimmers Sadie Keim and Taylor Carmichael are the first to graduate from the Classics directly into the WolfPack program. Two others, Jagdeesh Uppal and Greg Petersen, also have history with the Classics, but the WolfPack program wasn’t available to them directly out of high school. “I came from the Kamloops Classics, so I have the opportunity to continue my relationship with all those super-fast swimmers and also try to get up and race with them in practice and make myself a better swimmer with them,” said Carmichael, a Merritt native. “It’s nice and close to home for me.” Success at either the club or varsity levels will now benefit both the Classics and the WolfPack. Last year, the Classics ranked 11th in Canada at the age-group level and were tied for 18th at the Canadian Swimming Championships — where Kamloops’ teenage swimmers were up against those as much as 10 years their senior. Results like those not only make it easier for the Classics to attract young swimmers, but show potential university athletes Dalke has a proven track record,

Agassiz chases elusive Rampage title ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Graham Agassiz sat on his bike hundreds of feet above the floor of the Utah desert, waiting for the wind to ease. The Kamloops mountain biker was in the starting gate of Red Bull Rampage 2015, waiting for his opportunity to descend a course known for its harrowing drops, massive jumps and blinding speeds. One of the most dangerous events in professional mountain biking, even a little bit of wind at Rampage could have been the difference between a successful run and life-altering injury for the rider known to friends as Aggy. So, he waited. “A lot was going on, for sure,” Agassiz told KTW, recalling the moments before his first run. “I had a good buddy of mine go down quite hard right in front of me and he was heli-lifted out, which is never a good sign. “It’s always tough to see that and to be the next guy dropping in is super tough. Basically, I just flipped the switch, cleared my head and dropped in and was able to get a run in.” Billed as the “great equal-

DEAN TREML/RED BULL

izer of all mountain bike events,” Rampage draws slopestyle riders, downhill racers and natural-terrain free riders to canyons in the Virgin Utah desert, to compete for one the most prestigious titles in professional mountain biking. The Rampage finals had already been pushed ahead, taking place on Friday in order to avoid the inclement weather predicted for the desert over the weekend. When Agassiz finally got his opportunity he looked fearless, putting together one of the best runs of the day. But, what was visible on the

surface and what was going on underneath were two different things. “Everyone up there is pretty damn scared — you’d have to be stupid not to be scared. What we’re doing is seriously no joke,” the 25-year-old said. Agassiz isn’t ignorant to what can happen when things go wrong. In 2013, he spent months recovering from a freak biking accident that resulted in his breaking his C6 vertebrae in two places. “Anything can happen and, when it does, it can be really bad,” he continued. “Honestly, there’s definitely some fear involved. It’s just flicking that switch and having that confidence that you’ve got it and being able to get down safely.” Just completing a run in a Rampage final was a redeeming moment. Agassiz took first place in the event’s qualifying for the third time in his career in 2015. The Rampage crown has eluded Agassiz in his annual trip to the Beehive State. In 2014, it was an injury — a sprained MCL — on a late-night practice run that forced him to withdraw from the competition after posting a qualification run that was the talk of the event.

In 2013, he crashed on the final obstacle of his run, a gold medal in sight, and wound up finishing 17th. He didn’t compete in 2012 or 2011. He was 13th in 2010 and eighth in 2008. And, in 2015, with fellow Canadian Brandon Semenuk having posted a 94.00 earlier in the day, Agassiz knew he needed a good run. His smile turned to a look of shock as it was announced he had been given a score of 94.75. Agassiz knew at that moment, though, he would be hard-pressed to get a second run in as the wind would only get worse later in the day. It was a situation that made it all the more unfortunate when Canadian Kurt Sorge put up a score of 96.50 in the run following Agassiz’s. Sorge’s score would go on to stand as the winner. Spaniard Andreu Lacondeguy would also sneak ahead of Agassiz with his final run, scoring a 95.75. The conditions did, in fact, seal the victory for Sorge. With Agassiz and Lacondeguy back atop the ridge home to Rampage’s starting gate and a cross-wind blowing from left to right, both riders felt it

unsafe to make their second runs. “Any little effect like that, especially when it goes to a certain side, can be catastrophic,” Agassiz said. “I really wouldn’t want to be landing on my head from a 70-foot drop and waking up from a coma six months later. “It’s not something I wanted to do [forfeit his second run] and it was a tough pill to swallow, but I knew in the end it was the right call.” Agassiz is unsure what the future will hold in regards to his Rampage career. The Kamloops rider is still set on winning a gold medal at the event, but said a few things will need to change if he is to return to the Utah desert. “The whole risk-to-reward ratio is so not in our favour,” he said. “Red Bull made millions of dollars off that event and we made nickels and dimes compared to that. It’s tough when we’re the ones putting on the show for the live feed and TV show and all that. “This is like the one thing I’ve wanted from mountain biking and I’ve come so close now, four years in a row. It’s just putting the time in and a little bit of luck on my side would be great. I know we’re close, so it can only go up from here.”

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush Of beautiful birds in circling flight. I am the star-shine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there – I did not die.

JANN LOUISE MCINNIS BAILEY

March 12, 1952 - October 9, 2015 On October 9, 2015, our beloved wife, sister, aunt passed away after being airlifted to St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, B.C. after a very sudden illness which had surprised us all.

JOHN “LLOYD” FOLK We regret to announce the passing of Lloyd after a brief struggle with cancer.

Born March 12, 1952 to John William Bailey and Dr. Edna Mae MacInnis in Hamilton, Ontario, she spent her early years living in Ancaster then Dundas, Ontario. Jann leaves her husband Alan Stephenson, her sisters Cheryl (Tom) Horn, London, Ont., Beth Austin, Waitsfield, Vermont, her brother Doug (Cheri) Bailey, Pritchard, B.C. and her nieces and nephews, Lise Crawford, Suzanne Horn, R.J. Austin, Chris Austin, Cole Bailey and Jesse Bailey. Known throughout Canada as the Executive Director of the Kamloops Art Gallery, her accomplishments were vast. She received the Governor General’s Canada 125 Award in 1992, The Y’s Woman of Distinction Award in 1995, The Queen’s Silver Jubilee Medal in 2003, Named Co-commissioner for the 51st Venice Biennale in 2005 (Italy), Named Fellow of the Canadian Museums Association in 2008 and received an Honorary Doctorate of Arts and Letters, Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops in 2008 and the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal, Government of Canada Award in 2013. Jann was appointed to well over a dozen Government and non- Government positions throughout her career including the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, the British Columbia Arts Council, and most recently the Vancouver Foundation. She also was the past president of the Canadian Museums Association and Canadian Art Museum Directors. Published many times in National and International magazines dealing with The Arts and as a Guest Lecturer throughout British Columbia, her life was dedicated to the love of art and bringing awareness of the social and economic value of supporting Art. Jann graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design University, Toronto, Ontario and Sarah Lawrence College, New York (French Campus/Lacoste) and prior to moving to Kamloops in 1987 she taught at Fleming College, Peterborough, Ontario from 1984 to 1987.

Lloyd was born August 1, 1936 in Horizon, Saskatchewan and passed away October 18, 2015 in Kamloops, British Columbia. He is survived and will be missed by family in Alberta, Kamloops, Mission, Surrey and Saskatchewan. Lloyd was a millwright by trade and there was nothing he couldn’t fix or build. He was a hardworking man who will be missed by many. There will be no service by request. Those wishing to honor Lloyd’s memory may do so by making a donation to a charity of choice.

Tripping The Light Fantastic…………

Leisure time found Jann in her garden where she systematically changed to growing flowers that were edible; wandering the Famer’s Market in town on a Saturday morning; creatively cooking wonderful meals and prior to her initial health problems traveling extensively around the world for pleasure and business.

WOMEN HEADING TO PLAYOFFS

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

If he’s being honest, Tom McManus had hoped the Thompson Rivers WolfPack would make the playoffs last year. But, this year will do. McManus’ women’s soccer team clinched the first Canada West playoff berth in franchise history on the weekend, locking down sixth place in the West Division and setting up what will likely be a first-round showdown against the UBC Thunderbirds. A season-and-a-half after transitioning into Canada’s top university athletic league, the stage is now set for what would be a historic victory for the Pack. “It would be huge and I think it’s very possible that can happen. But, UBC is a quality team — they’re ranked No. 4 in the country,” McManus said. “It’s going to be tough. But, I think if we can dump them off, people are really going to sit up and take notice of the WolfPack.” McManus never

felt the playoffs were in doubt for his club in its second Canada West season. At the outset, Thompson Rivers picked up seven of a possible 12 points in four matches on the road and appeared to have adjusted to the league’s level of play. But what followed was four consecutive shutout losses — one a 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Thunderbirds they will face at the end of the month. In spite of that stretch, McManus didn’t panic. “I kind of felt we would be OK but, at the same time, I didn’t let the players know that,” he said. “I just said that we have to keep working, we have to keep pushing, every game is important.” The regular season isn’t yet over for the Pack — they face the Alberta Pandas and the UNBC Timberwolves at Hillside Stadium on the weekend — but McManus is planning to rest some starters to close out the regular season. Others are recovering from injury.

TRU plays Alberta on Saturday and UNBC on Sunday. Both games start at noon. When the playoffs do roll around, the WolfPack will need to prove they can compete with the upper-tier of teams in the Canada West. This season’s losses came against Manitoba, Fraser Valley, Trinity Western, Victoria, UBC and MacEwan, all of whom are upper-echelon teams. But, what better time than the postseason?

Coming up short

While the WolfPack women are headed to the post-season, the men’s soccer team will play its final matches this weekend. Thompson Rivers will be home for games against the UNBC Timberwolves on Saturday and Sunday. Kickoff both days is 2:15 p.m. Out of playoff contention, the WolfPack are hoping to enter the offseason on a positive note. “I think we definitely wanted to make

playoffs this year,” said head coach John Antulov, though he noted the Pack had more goals and wins in its second season and were more competitive with teams across the league. “We have an oppor-

tunity here to finish the season strong and ahead of where we were last year,” he said. “The good thing, too, we’ve got a great core of 13, 14 players returning for next year. “So, that bodes well for the future.”

Torts back behind NHL bench Travel woes THE CANADIAN PRESS

COLUMBUS, Ohio — John Tortorella is back coaching in the NHL after the Columbus Blue Jackets fired Todd Richards yesterday with the team off to an 0-7 start. Tortorella, who won the Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004, has been out of hockey since the Canucks fired him in May 2014 after one season in Vancouver. He takes over for Richards,

who had been with the Blue Jackets since 2012 and led them to only their second NHL playoff appearance in 201314, when they lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the opening round. Richards was on the hot seat after Columbus became just the sixth NHL team to open with seven consecutive losses with a 4-0 defeat against the New York Islanders on Tuesday night. It’s the Blue Jackets’ worst start to a season in franchise history,

and their longest losing streak since dropping seven straight in regulation from Nov. 11-25, 2005. That’s not the type of start that was expected from a team that restocked its roster this summer after closing last season on 16-2-1 run. “None of us saw our season unfolding the way it has. And every one of us from management to coaches to players bears responsibility,’’ general manager Jarmo Kekalainen

said in statement. “There is still a lot of hockey to be played and we believe this change was necessary to give our team the best chance to accomplish the goals we’ve set for this season.’’ Tortorella signed a three-year contract and will make his debut tonight when Columbus visits Minnesota. With a 446-375-115 record over 14 seasons, the 57-year-old Tortorella is the NHL’s winningest U.S.-born coach.

“John Tortorella is an experienced National Hockey League coach with a proven track record of success,’’ Kekalainen said. “He is a Stanley Cup winner, and we believe the right person to lead our team at this time.’’ And, Tortorella is suddenly in demand after his year off. Last month, he was hired by USA Hockey to coach the American team competing in the NHL’s World Cup of Hockey tournament next year.

VANCOUVER — A depleted Vancouver Whitecaps team boarded an airplane Tuesday for a long flight to play a game that means nothing to the Major League Soccer club. Ravaged by injury, manager Carl Robinson planned to take only 12 or 13 players to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, to face CD Olimpia today in a CONCACAF Champions League match. The Seattle Sounders have already won Group F, which means the results of the match at Estadio Tiburcio Carias Andino

are meaningless. “I’m not looking forward to the travel,’’ said midfielder Russell Teibert. “It’s difficult to understand you are going down to Honduras, all this travel, for a game that essentially doesn’t change things.’’ Compounding the situation, the Whitecaps face the Houston Dynamo at BC Place Stadium on Sunday in a match with huge playoff implications. A win would secure the Whitecaps a home playoff game. A loss or draw, combined with other league results, could drop Vancouver to fifth or sixth place and put them on the road to begin the playoffs.

Divisional showdown JANIE MCCAULEY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The dynamic of the Seahawks-49ers rivalry has changed dramatically in a matter of months. No more Jim Harbaugh trying to outdo old nemesis Pete Carroll, and neither team sitting atop the NFC West standings this time. “I’m not looking at it any differently,’’ Carroll said. “He’s a terrific coach and it was a lot of fun playing against him.’’ The teams meet tonight in San Francisco. Game time is 5:25 p.m. Jim Tomsula is now coaching the Niners with Harbaugh long gone and leading Michigan. Both teams are 2-4 and determined to get back in the NFC West race. Richard Sherman doesn’t have an interception, while Colin Kaepernick has thrown his share in a rough start. Tight end Jimmy Graham joined Seattle, too. “Record-wise, people wouldn’t say it’s the same game, because usually we come to this game and we’re both 4-2 or 5-1 or maybe 6-0 at this point,’’ Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett said. “We’re not usually where our records are. I still think the talent level is the same.’’ Seattle, then the defending Super Bowl champion, whipped San Francisco 19-3 at Levi’s Stadium, then eliminated the 49ers from playoff contention less than three weeks later with a 17-7 win in Seattle. The Seahawks have won three in a row in the rivalry. Sherman will hardly miss his former Stanford coach, Harbaugh, or departed wideout Michael Crabtree — now with the Oakland Raiders. “I’m not going to miss either, because I think I’m still playing,’’ Sherman said. “When you’re playing this game, you try not to worry about other people as much as you worry about what you can do and what your team does. I think at the end of the day we go out there and control what we can control. So I don’t think I think about either of those guys very much.’’ Seattle’s chance at a third straight trip to the Super Bowl is in jeopardy. Since 1990, only 14 of 168 teams to start the season 2-4 have reached the playoffs, and none has reached the Super Bowl, according to STATS. Here are some things to watch for as the 49ers host the Seahawks on a Thursday night for the second straight year: TURKEY TALK: Seahawks cornerback Sherman chomped on a turkey leg while cradling

Quarterback Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks will be in San Francisco tonight to play the 49ers.

the game ball in his right hand in a Thanksgiving night celebration on the 49ers’ home field 11 months ago. San Francisco CEO Jed York even apologized for his team’s poor play on Twitter. “Yeah, I don’t really pay much attention to the pompanstance around it,’’ Tomsula said, then quickly caught himself. “Here I am making up vocabulary again, the Pittsburghese coming out.’’ BOWMAN COMEBACK: Linebacker NaVorro Bowman hasn’t faced the Seahawks since going down with a devastating left knee injury in the NFC championship game in January 2014. He not only needed surgery but missed all of 2014. Bowman had 15 tackles last week playing 77 snaps, prompting Tomsula to say the Niners need to get him some breaks. “It looks like he’s the leader out there,’’ Carroll said. “He’s as tough as you can get, instinctive, and he looks like he’s back playing football the way he’s always played. It’s a great tribute to him battling to get back. It was a real difficult injury and I felt terrible about him getting hurt, but thrilled to see him back out there battling.’’ MOBILE WILSON: The 49ers’ defence has been tested by strong-armed quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Carson

Palmer, and mobile ones like Aaron Rodgers. Next up: do-itall Russell Wilson. “A good thing about our schedule is we faced a bunch of big-armed quarterbacks, and we’ve actually faced a couple quarterbacks that can scramble as well,’’ cornerback Kenneth Acker said. “You know at any point, Russell Wilson can break out of the pocket and a receiver’s going to go deep, you know that every play could be that big play.’’ WAGNER RETURNS: Seattle will have starting middle linebacker Bobby Wagner back after he missed Sunday’s loss to Carolina with a pectoral injury. Wagner was hurt the prior week against Cincinnati trying to make a tackle in the first quarter on Marvin Jones, initially thinking it was just a cramp. “I’m excited to get this team going in the right direction,’’ Wagner said. FIX THE FOURTH: Over the past three games, the Seahawks are being outscored 40-3 in the fourth quarter and overtime. After matching a franchise record with a 17-point fourth quarter collapse in a loss to Cincinnati — and vowing it wouldn’t happen again — the Seahawks blew a 23-14 lead in the final 12 minutes against Carolina.

exhilarating. This four-kilometre round-trip brings you to a rocky lookout, where you can witness the river as it pushes through a narrow gorge. Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gorge is not

the only dangerous part of this racing river. BC Parks warns that the Adams is treacherous. They recommend you wear life-jackets at all times and exercise extreme caution as there are numerous log jams and sweepers not always visible in advance. Do not navigate below the bridge and do not use inner tubes and air mattresses for travel on the Adams River as several people have been killed while using these devices. The loop starts at the parking lot where the rafting companies pick up thrill-seekers after a daring raft ride down the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rapids. The trail follows the river, with a side trail leading to pebble beach that is popular with swimmers and fishermen. Once you get to the gorge, you can return to the parking lot via the Packer Trail, which was originally an old horsepacking route. Those wanting a longer hike can continue on the River Trail to Gold Creek. This 14-kilometre return trail is steeped in history. There are 54 docu-

mented archeological sites throughout the park, including pithouse depressions, cache pits, artifacts, fire-burned rock and pictographs. All of these sites are protected by law and the locations are kept confidential.

Did you know?

Roderick HaigBrown Provincial Park is named in recognition of the major work HaigBrown (1908-1976) did to preserve the Fraser River and its tributaries as Pacific salmon habitat. Not only did HaigBrown publish more than 23 books, he was a trustee of the Nature Conservancy of Canada, an advisor to the BC Wildlife Federation, a senior advisor to Trout Unlimited and a member of the Federal Fisheries Development Council

How to get there

From Kamloops, head past Chase on Highway 1, take the North Shuswap exit and drive toward Scotch Creek. The parking lot is on your left right after you cross Adams River Bridge.

TRIP MARKS BELGIAN BAND’S DEBUT IN THE GREAT WHITE NORTH ON STAGE

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

M KAMLOOPS FILM SOCIETY

ario Goossens is looking forward to his upcoming Kamloops visit. It happens about two weeks into the trip Goossens, Ruben Block and Paul Van Bruystegem are taking to Canada, a country that has not experienced the Belgian band Triggerfinger.

WHO: Big Sugar and Triggerfinger WHEN: Thursday, Nov. 5 WHERE: Coast Kamloops theatre, 1250 Rogers Way TICKETS: $40 in advance online at kamtix.ca or $50 at the door

“This is a huge experience for us,” Goossens said. They’re opening for Big Sugar, a band that shared European

stages with them last year. “For us, it’s a big compliment.” Triggerfinger has released four studio and three live albums, he said, the most recent the 2014 recording By Absence of the Sun. While they’ve been together for years, it was a visit to a radio station in Holland that saw the trio go viral online. Goossens said they were booked to perform one of their singles, but the station told them it always had visiting bands also do a live cover of a

song on the hits chart. They chose I Follow Rivers by Swedish indie-pop singer Lykke Li. “It’s 7 a.m. — it’s an earlymorning show — and we’re there and he chooses this one. I’ve got a an iPhone with a drum beat program,” Goossens said. Instead, he headed into the station’s kitchen, grabbed a mug, a glass, a knife and a fork to create a makeshift and decidedly unique miniature drum kit. Block opted to not sing the chorus, but whistle it. They recorded it live in the station and the video went viral, topping 11-million views. The song topped the charts

Set in the backdrop of 1970’s san Francisco in the midst of the underground comic book movement, this unique and unconventional coming of age story explores a young woman’s navigation of her budding responsibilities and sexual awakening in the face of her complex affair with her mother’s boyfriend.

in Belgium and the Netherlands and it hasn’t gone away, Goossens said. Although they perform mostly their own work, Goossens said the Li song — and a few others by her — will be on the set list for the Canadian tour. The band’s been touring pretty much non-stop for the past five years, Goossens said, and will be taking a break to concentrate on creating music after the Canadian tour. Tickets for the Nov. 5 show at the Coast Kamloops theatre are $40 in advance or $50 at the door. Tickets are available online at kamtix.ca.

KAMLOOPS’ NO. 1 AUTO-BUYERS’ GUIDE

Premium styling without the price

The 2016 Toyota Yaris Sedan includes audio and Bluetooth functions easily within reach.

KEITH MORGAN DRIVEWAY CANADA drivewaycanada.com

he 2016 Toyota Yaris Sedan is not your average subcompact car. It’s aggressively styled, equipped with premium features and tuned for driving fun. “This is more than a new car with a familiar name,” said Larry Hutchinson, vicepresident at Toyota Canada Inc, at the Quebec launch. “Canadians love the efficiency and nimble performance of subcompacts — and the all-new Yaris Sedan gives drivers even more — much more — of what they love.” Toyota offers the 2016 Yaris Sedan in two trims: • Yaris Sedan — manual (starting MSRP: $16,995). This model features a short-stroke sixspeed manual transmission for quick shifting, and a fuel efficiency rating of 6.7 L / 100 km (city/ highway combined). • Yaris Sedan — automatic (starting MSRP: $18,200). This model features a six-speed automatic transmission with lock-up torque converter, a direct-shift feel, plus a sport mode that boosts torque for more spirited driving. This model boasts a fuel efficiency rating of 6.4 L / 100 km (city/highway combined). Standard features include cruise control, power windows and power door locks — all set off with chrome accents and the soft-touch trim and surfaces. Steering wheel mounted controls put audio and Bluetooth within reach. The trunk is spacious and made more versatile thanks to a standard 60-40 split folding rear seat. The auto version may be ordered with a premium package (MSRP $20,200), adding enhancements to audio, comfort, convenience and style. These include a display audio system with 7” touch screen, six speakers, two USB ports, heated front seats, aluminum alloy wheels, fog lamps, and a back-up camera. The 2016 Yaris Sedan is now available across Canada.

Kay

Kay Turner, a pioneer teacher of Kamloops passed away in September at the age of 97. Our mother, Kathleen, was born in Newtown-Toddington, England on August 31, 1918. She moved to Canada with her parents, William and Elizabeth Elkerton and brother Arthur, in 1926. The family settled in Burnaby. She graduated from Duke of Connaught High School, BC and obtained her teaching certificate from Normal School in New Westminster, BC and later her BEd with Library Science specialty from UBC. At the age of 21 was appointed to her first teaching position at Criss Creek, BC, fifty miles north of Kamloops. The log school house had seven students from grades one to seven, the older students arriving early in the morning to light the wood stove and fetch drinking water. This same group of students, and many others came back to wish her well on her retirement in 1973. Jarvis and Ada Turner boarded the school teacher and Kay married their eldest son Harold. They had four children, Jarvis, twins Andy and Bill and daughter Sheila. From Criss Creek, Kay also taught at Willowford, Rowe Lake, Falkland, Armstrong, Westwold, Kamloops (Allan Matthews) Ashcroft, Iqaluit, and Port Simpson. She was passionate about reading and education, always trying to find the way to help students overcome their learning challenges and archieve their goals. The stories, memories and life lessons she created were endless. She was predeceased by her parents and her brother, her beloved husband Harold (1961), son Andrew (1994), son Jarvis (2012); daughters in law Gabrielle (1997); Sheila (2010) and second husband Ron (2002). She is survived by her son Bill and daughter Sheila, six grandchildren, six great grandchildren, two niecees, two nephews. Contributions to a charity of your choice may be made in her memory. A tea of remembrance will be held in March of 2016. Condolences may be offered at Thompson Valley Funeral Home at www.tvfh.ca.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: KMC-ROW IVMP-2015 Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9 Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509) Agent: SMC Consulting, 1582 Lawrence Avenue, Penticton BC V2A 3C1 Tel/Fax: (250) 492-6193 e-mail: smcconsulting@shaw.ca In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for KMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The PMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC’s rights-of-way and access roads to its pipeline systems and facilities. In British Columbia, KMC operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline transporting crude oil and refined petroleum products and the Jet Fuel Pipeline transporting aviation fuel. The pipelines are located below ground and in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Little Fort, Darfield, McLure, Heffley Creek, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond. This PMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5 year PMP which expires in 2016. The proposed duration of the IVMP (PMP) is from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2021. The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand cutting and pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, retaining existing low ground cover, and seeding, fertilization where set backs permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies and may include the use biological control agents. KMC conducts all work, including pest management, in strict adherence with all applicable laws and regulations. The common names and an example of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), Hasten (adjuvant) and siloxylated polyether (adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle and boom sprayer. A draft copy of the proposed IVMP (PMP) and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail online http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_row_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Agent listed above. A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant (c/o SMC Consulting, Agent, at the address listed above), within 30 days of the publication of this notice.
