Kamloops’ two major summer road projects have come in under budget, according to a report headed to city council today. The Columbia Street widening, budgeted at just under $4.8 million, came in at $4.3 million, while work on Overlanders Bridge, budgeted at $10.3 million, came in about $300,000 under cost. Capital-projects manager Darren Crundwell said all of the city’s construction and repair projects for the year were five per cent under budget, costing the city $32.4 million rather than the $34.2 million expected. Seven of the 39 projects listed in the report — which includes work slated for completion in spring of 2016 as well as projects which wrapped this year — did go over budget, however. The new North Shore community policing office is the most expensive offender on the list. Renovations on the former Kamloops Kia dealership that were expected to cost $490,000 are now forecast at $800,000. Crundwell said a report will be headed to council in the near future to explain the “change in scope,” which has increased the office’s cost, and to ask for additional funds. Crundwell said the city has drawn on its existing budgets to fund the over-budget projects, unless the cost increase comes from a change in the scope. “For example, in the case of the Falcon Road project, old stormwater infrastructure was uncovered during excavation for the new sanitary sewer line, so the stormwater funds that already exist in the capital plan were utilized to fund some of the additional costs,” he wrote.

UH, WHERE DID MOM GO?

Two-year-old Lily Broswick tries to figure out what happened to mom Jessica’s legs during a visit to the Big Little Science Centre on Halloween, just hours before trick-or-treating. The North Shore centre held a Halloween-themed day, featuring Gross Science. The centre is at 655 Holt St. and is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with special shows on Saturdays at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Go online to biglittlesciencecentre.org to get the latest news.

Boston Celtic among those urging Yes vote Kamloops’ proposed $91-million performing-arts centre and parkade has a few new fans. Pro basketball player Kelly Olynyk, the Thompson Rivers University Students Union (TRUSU) and BC Living Arts are the three latest groups to endorse the proposal, which goes to referendum this Saturday, Nov. 7. “Performing arts has left a lasting impression on my life and has had a great influence on my develop-

ment,” said Olynyk, a veteran of both the theatre and basketball programs at South Kamloops secondary, in a release. “Whether on a court, field or stage, high performance is a special thing to encompass and witness. Nothing but positive things come from providing opportunities for excellence,” said Olynyk, who plays for the NBA’s Boston Celtics. In a statement on its website,

TRUSU said it believes the performing-arts centre project will “create important economic opportunities” and enhance the city’s nightlife. BC Living Arts said in its endorsement that because booking the Sagebrush and Pavilion theatres is so difficult, smaller arts shows it produces are often forced to use “locations that are challenging and non-conducive to the production of quality creative arts performances.”

Kamloops’ proposed performing-arts centre will be the talk of the town tomorrow when two separate events dedicated to the $91-million project will take place. Former city councillor John O’Fee will moderate a discussion on the arts centre from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Barber Centre in Thompson Rivers University’s House of Learning. It’s the second talk on the subject O’Fee has led this fall. Meanwhile, at Sandman Centre, the City of Kamloops will host a pair of drop-in sessions at which staff will answer questions about the arts centre and underground parkade. The open houses run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Kamloops voters will go to the polls in a Saturday referendum, with a simple majority required to authorize the city to borrow up to $49 million toward the estimated $91-million cost of the project at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue. The remainder of the funds will come from a variety of sources, including a dedicated one per cent property-tax increase in 2016 and 2017. Advance-polling days were held yesterday and on Oct. 28.

Thompson Rivers University has a long-term goal to establish an engineering program but it has no immediate plans to start a school, an official said Monday. A new labour-market report released by Venture Kamloops called for an engineering program due to the large number of major resource projects on the books. It forecasts a shortage of engineers in the region. (Turn to page A12 to read about the labour-market report). Rob Malatest, who gave a presentation to city and community leaders recently, said engineers who are educated locally are more likely to remain once they’ve

completed their education. Thompson Rivers University spokesman Christopher Seguin said the university is marching to a long-term goal of establishing an engineering school in Kamloops. This year is the first time it has offered the second year of engineering for transfer to University of Victoria’s degree program. In previous years, students were able to take only their first year of study in Kamloops. “We don’t know how quickly we’ll move to a four-year program but we’re moving in that direction,” he said, calling establishment of a school “in the exploratory stage.” University dean of science Tom Dickinson said applications to the engineering transfer program have increased by 50 per cent in the past several years. The university accepts 60 students a

Chapters Viewpoint site gets new Flavours Flavours of India restaurant has shut its doors — but it will reopen in a few weeks in a new location very familiar to Kamloops diners. Owner Nandi Spolia said he’s moving his 11-yearold restaurant from 550 Columbia St. W to 610 Columbia St. W. — into the building that formerly

housed Chapters Viewpoint. Spolia said the new site is being renovated and he hopes to be serving Indian cuisine again in two or three weeks. He’s also going to be hiring more staff for the larger space, which includes a meeting and small banquet rooms.

This is Spolia’s third move as the restaurant was originally downtown. He said the only other change customers will see is he’s dropping the word Goldie’s from the name. The menu will remain the same. Spolia added it is possible his hours of operation will be extended in coming months.

year in its first-year engineering transfer program to UBC and UVIC. The second-year, transferable to UVIC for electrical and computer engineering, has 20 seats. “The story with engineering is pretty clear,” he said. “It’s a good profession and engineers often move on to management. There’s constant need for young engineers.” In 2013, about 100 students applied to the program and its 60 seats. For the most recent year, there were 185 applications. “There’s three times as many applications as we have seats designated,” Dickinson said. “I think we’ll have to review how many seats we make available for the first year.” Dickinson noted not all the applicants meet the minimum requirements and some have applied to multiple schools.

Needle found in Halloween candy Police are investigating a report of tainted candy after a North Kamloops parent found a sewing needle stuck inside a chocolate bar. Jennifer Suzanne posted video of the tainted candy on a popular Facebook page called Kamloops Shoplifters and Thieves Exposed. “My son and I found this in his Halloween candy that he got from somewhere on the North Shore between Extra Foods, NorKam school, Nicolani and Tim Hortons,” Suzanne wrote. “The package had no air in it and we looked for a hole, but did not find one. “When he ripped off the package and showed me the top, there was an indent like it was pressed, so he tore it apart. I’m sorry I wasn’t on the ball enough to get pictures or start the video when he was checking, but I was able to capture the outcome.

MAN CHARGED IN CONNECTION TO 2013 FATAL FIRE TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Now that jurors have begun their deliberations in the manslaughter trial of a Kamloops man accused of setting a fatal house fire in 2013, KTW can tell you about some of the things that happened in their absence. David Gordon’s trial began last month in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. He is accused of starting a fire in his downtown home on April 25, 2013, that killed Cheryl William, who was at the house as a guest. On Oct. 15, the first day of Gordon’s trial, eight family and friends of William showed up in white T-shirts with pictures of the victim’s face and the words “Justice for Cheryl.” Defence lawyer Ken Tessovitch argued that the T-shirts would have a prejudicial impact on jurors. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop agreed, barring the William supporters from wearing the T-shirts anywhere on the grounds of the Kamloops Law Courts. Near the end of the Crown’s case, prosecutor Neil Flanagan called an expert witness to testify about how the fire burned and patterns in burn marks. Tessovitch took issue with the witness because the report he brought with him was not exactly the same as the one provided to defence in disclosure. Hyslop again sided with Tessovitch, tossing all of the expert’s evidence before it could go to jurors. The evidence heard by the jury painted a sad picture.

Cheryl William died in an April 25, 2013, house fire at a home on St. Paul Street in downtown Kamloops.

Gordon had moved into the St. Paul Street home less than a week before the fire. He happened upon the living arrangement, court heard, after a chance encounter with William Tomporowski, who was looking for a roommate. Tomporowski testified he spotted a stranger sitting on a step and crying and asked what was wrong. The stranger, Gordon, said he was homeless and needed a place to live. Tomporowski said he offered Gordon a bedroom for a share of the rent. Court heard Gordon and his girlfriend became involved in an argument the night of the fire. She called police saying she was afraid for her safety and was taken to a women’s shelter for the night. Gordon then retreated into his bed-

More time to finish report on mom accused of murder A judge has given a psychiatrist another month to finish a report on a Kamloops mother charged with murder in connection to the 2011 death of her newborn son. Courtney Fawn Saul did not appear in court on Monday as lawyers asked for more time for the

report to be completed. Saul, 23, was charged earlier this year with murder following an investigation into the Dec. 15, 2011, death of her son, George Carlos Saul. The Crown alleges the baby was killed “a few hours” after birth. Last month, a judge ordered a psychi-

atric assessment for Saul, who is not in custody. Lawyers hoped to have the report completed by this week, but that was not the case. Saul is due back in court on Dec. 3, at which time it is anticipated the completed report can be read by a judge.

Some projects over budget From A1

Falcon Road, where the city replaced a sewer lift station, went $185,000 over budget, costing the city $1.1 million in total instead of the $915,000 budgeted. A trio of drainage improvement projects ran over budget by $10,000 to $50,000 each, and the demolition of the Boys and Girls Club’s former headquarters on McArthur Island cost the city $500,000 instead of the $400,000 initially budgeted. Work on the West Highlands park clubhouse is also over budget

by $150,000. Council approved an additional $625,000 for the park project earlier this fall to cover both increased costs on the clubhouse project, irrigation of the park’s soccer fields and other landscaping work. At the time, parks staff said “significant deficiencies” in the construction of the clubhouse, built when the park was the Aberdeen Hills Golf Club, had pushed up the cost of renovating it into a community centre. Slope stability issues and a falling Canadian dollar were also blamed for some of the cost overruns.

A call to end slash burning and create more energy

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Rene Pellerin, an executive with Unifor Local 10-B and its former president, said some slash piles in the region appear to contain potentially valuable wood resources that could, at least, be burned in a co-generation plant, including at the Domtar pulp mill in Kamloops.

Under the watch of government, B.C.’s forest industry continues to burn timber on the forest floor that could be used to create energy, a senior executive with Unifor has charged. The slash burning of huge piles of trimmings and discard log ends also pollutes the valley’s air, according to a report compiled by a Kamloops medical group. Rene Pellerin, an executive with Unifor Local 10-B and its former president, said members touring in the bush are collecting for him examples of woodwaste about to go up in smoke. “Eastern [Canada] mills are just appalled at what we’re doing here,” Pellerin said. “They’re starving for timber. They can’t run while we just burn this stuff.” He highlighted two examples found this month, two smaller piles near Knouff Lake and a massive burn pile in the Monte Lake area. Pellerin said both appear to contain

potentially valuable wood resources that could, at least, be burned in a co-generation plant, including at the Domtar pulp mill in Kamloops. “This is BTUs [heat energy] just going up in the air,” Pellerin said. B.C.’s Forest and Range Practices Act governs what fibre can be left behind on the forest floor once logging is complete. Rick Sommer, district forest manager in Kamloops, said companies are not breaking rules when they burn slash. He said the piles “don’t look significantly different from the piles I’ve seen over the past several weeks.” There are rules in

place allowing companies to burn only when weather conditions are favourable for venting. The Kamloops Forest District, which oversees Crown timber in a 100-kilometre radius of the city, is part of a research project to determine if there are ways to utilize more of the fibre, including separating piles based on size and quality. Potential uses include energy, creating wood pellets for export or solid wood products for larger and better quality pieces. A study will be completed this winter and presented at a symposium in Kamloops in the spring. “We’re beginning to see some products

in there folks can use,” Sommer said. Burning slash piles were identified as the culprit behind poor air quality in the Thompson Valley in November 2014, according to a report published by Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment. Dr. Jill Calder, who represents the group, said the report “debunked” the idea that woodstoves cause sometimes poor air quality in the fall. Calder said it was circulated to provin-

cial ministries, but no noticeable change has occurred. “They’re burning due to the risk of forest fire — I get that,” she said. “[But] it’s a waste of fuel. It’s a pollution source. Maybe we can do something more innovative.” Pellerin said he’s pushing the issue at the national level of the union, which first took aim at slash burning more than seven years ago. Sommer said the province recently introduced a new fibreaction utilization plan to get lower-quality fibre into the hands of the bioenergy sector, as well as for pulp and paper.

UNDER BUDGET DESERVES KUDOS

he City of Kamloops — and all municipalities, for that matter — is an easy target for those who can find fault in the smallest of problems. It is this way because, as homeowners see their property taxes rise every year while their paycheques lose pace, frustration can lead to minor inconveniences morphing into major obstacles in the minds of some. And, while city hall can be rightfully criticized for some things, it must also be lauded when it does a good job — and today’s report to city council detailing impressive cost savings in this year’s road works is a solid example of those at city hall doing a fantastic job at overseeing the spending of your money. In 2015, the city tackled 39 projects of various sizes, from the massive Overlanders Bridge resurfacing job and substantial widening of Columbia Street to smaller drainage upgrades and electrical upgrades. The initial budget for all these projects was set at $34.3 million, with the Overlanders endeavour pegged at $10.3 million, nearly onethird the cost of all 39 projects. Council will address a report today that shows the 2015 list of jobs will likely come in about five per cent under budget — which is a savings of $1.8 million. Included in those savings is $495,000 in the Columbia Street budget and $300,000 in the bridge resurfacing. With many critics crying loudly when city projects exceed budget, as they sometimes do, city staff deserve shouts of encouragement when managing to accomplish such savings across a diverse range of capital projects that each has its unique set of challenges. The bridge work is now done and traffic is flowing. Columbia Street is wide and comfortable and traffic is flowing. If you see a City of Kamloops worker on your commute this week, tip your cap and offer kudos for a year’s worth of work well done.

Trading up for fun skills

uilding stuff provides hands-on learning — and it’s fun. This is the foundation upon which the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s elementary-trades projects are built. The B.C. Education Plan outlines students from kindergarten to Grade 9 are to be exposed to trades options and, specifically, the tools involved in building and fixing things. School District 73 has always been a leader in trades-training initiatives and this new focus on elementary students is no exception. Sheryl Lindquist, district principal for trades and transitions, is excited to be leading and supporting our schools in their initiatives to bring trades into the elementary curriculum. Last year and again this fall, Lindquist offered small grant funding to elementary schools interested in creating a tradesbased project. Juniper Ridge elementary, Beattie School of the Arts, Westmount elementary and Barriere elementary each received money to support their projects. With assistance from the Kamloops Woodworkers Guild, 22 kindergarten and Grade 1 students at Beattie School of the Arts built and painted bird houses. Juniper Ridge had students ranging from grades 2 to 7 build prototype work benches for various classrooms. Two benches were constructed out of wood and put on castors so they are portable. The benches are equipped with basic tool sets that classes now utilize as work stations for various curriculum-based projects during

the school year. Two years ago, Westsyde secondary invited Sandra MacDonald’s Westmount kindergarten class to build birdhouses with a secondary buddy in the Westsyde wood shop. This experience was so wellreceived by the kindergarten students that their teacher had an idea. With the help of an elementary trade grant and the assistance of a South Kamloops secondary shop class, family and friends, MacDonald’s classroom now has a kinder construction activity centre. The centre includes a scaleddown work bench with areas to hammer nails, screw in screws and work with nuts and bolts. The centre is designed to accommodate two students at a time and comes with safety glasses and “kindie-sized” tool belts equipped with tools. Clean-up involves the use of a magnet broom. Every spring under the covered courtyard outside the entrance to her classroom, students line up to work at the bench. Students work in pairs and there are always classmates wait-

ing for their turn. The construction bench teaches collaboration and creativity while helping with the development of fine motor and math skills — all of which are learning outcomes in the provincial kindergarten curriculum. This year, Barriere elementary grade 6/7 students, with the assistance of the Barriere secondary senior shop class, will construct a sign, trellis and small standing work table for the elementary school’s community garden. Logan Lake has done a similar project, with kindergarten students partnered with a senior shop buddy to build bird houses. Once the bird houses are painted, Logan Lake will see the houses out in their community, with some donated to local agencies and others sold at a craft fair. As Lindquist points out, fewer children are being exposed at home to the use tools. With close to 60 per cent of Canada’s population living in condos or apartments, there are fewer workshops and basements for children to explore with an older family member — and fewer opportunities to learn the basic skills of fixing and building. Exposure to these basic building skills teaches our students appropriate and safe use of tools — and it might also open up an avenue of interest for a student. The elementary-trade project is yet another way SD73 staff is offering different life chances and opportunities to our students. And, let’s face it, building stuff is fun.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

IGNORE BIASED INFO AND VOTE YES ON NOV. 7 Editor: After returning from a few weeks away from Kamloops, I was flabbergasted by a double whammy of biased misinformation in the form of a pamphlet in the mail entitled PAC Not Yet (shades of “nice hair, but just not ready”) and an hour-long free infomercial on Radio NL with PAC Not Yet spokeswoman Nelly Dever as guest host on the Jim Harrison Show. Her “guests” included two hostile “experts” opposed to the proposed performing-arts centre (PAC) and a muzzled and neutral city employee trying to differentiate between apples and oranges when explaining the development of similar centres in vastly different communities. I can only hope Radio NL will give equal opportunity to those who want to enrich our city with a new PAC before Saturday’s referendum vote. Since coming to Kamloops in 1976 as a medical student, and then settling with my family in 1978, I have seen Kamloops grow and develop from a mining, ranching, lumber and pulp mill

town into a vibrant and growing modern community. Weyerhaeuser pulp mill was a very good corporate citizen and contributed greatly to our development. Many people with long-term vision helped us to develop our community college into a firstclass university with students from all over the world. We have developed superb sports facilities including the Olympic-class Canada Games Pool, McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, numerous mountain-biking venues and, of course, our Riverside Coliseum, now called Sandman Centre. One gets the gist. If the nickel and dime approach of the Nelly Devers of our community had prevailed over the past several years, we would still be watching our Blazers in the old barn, never having hosted the Brier or a CanadaRussia series. If we do not invest in the future of our city, we will revert to being a second-class resource town for years to come. If we only want short-term dollar gains, bring on an open-pit mine a mile from our primary

growth area, pollute the air and don’t invest in any cultural facilities for our children and future generations. As a result, we will always be a community struggling to attract newcomers to invest and put down roots. Culture begets culture. A vibrant community always places quality entertainment such as a symphony orchestra, staged productions and other first-rate entertainment as a necessary staple for its citizens. Without a high-quality, adequate facility for visiting and community artists and orchestras, Kamloops will always be bypassed for such cultural experiences to be a part of our environment. For the cost of a decent restaurant meal once a year added to our property taxes, we can rejuvenate our downtown area and guarantee highquality and priceless cultural entertainment for years to come. Vote yes on Nov. 7. Randy Patch Kamloops

CAN CITY HELP EXPLAIN $221,291.67 PER WEEK IN REVENUE? Editor: I am having a hard time calculating the math associated with the proposed performingarts centre (PAC). The numbers do not add up for me. According to the City of Kamloops and its business case, the PAC is going to generate $11 million annually through ticket sales, new productions, increased tourism, new jobs and goods and services. It will have 1,200 seats. Here is my best scenario: The parkade down on

Seymour Street charges $4.50 per day and is free on weekends, so we will use that fee structure. If the PAC parkade was to be full every day, five days a week, four weeks a month and 12 months a year, then 350 X 4.5 X 5 X 4 X 12 = $378,000 per year from parking revenue — and that is with every stall filled every day of every week. There is a forecast annual revenue of $11 million, so $11 million - $378,000 (from our soldout parking) = $10.62 million/12 (months) = $885,166.67/month in ticket sales, new productions,

increased tourism, new jobs and goods and services. So, the PAC will bring to Kamloops, in ticket sales, new productions, increased tourism, new jobs and goods and services, $885,166.67 every month or $221,291.67 every week. That seems a little overambitious, I think. Or is there something the city could provide that shows exactly how $221,291.67 per week of revenue is generated?

Plan your legacy

Every adult who owns assets should have a Will. If you die without a will (which is called dying “intestate”), the law in B.C. determines who is entitled to your estate, and who has priority in administering it.

2015 poppy campaign begins

Generally speaking, if a person does not have a will, their estate is divided between spouses and children, or if none living then to extended relatives such as parents or siblings, and beyond. If a person has no living relatives, their estate could go to the Government.

Without a will, the people and organizations you care about, may not receive the benefits you intended. For example, if you have a dear friend whom you wish to recognize, or you support a charity or non-profit organization and wish to leave a legacy when you pass, you need a proper, valid Will.

Make a difference for future generations...

larence Schneider knows last year’s spike in poppy and wreath sales came at a price. “We had a great year last year only on the back of a man who paid with his life,” the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52’s poppy chairman told KTW. Schneider has been in charge of the local poppy campaign — the Legion’s biggest fundraiser — for four years and said last year was “a bit of an anomaly” due to the death of Canadian soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was shot on Oct. 22 while standing guard at the Canadian National War Memorial in Ottawa. “We basically wound up Afghanistan, having the military, our people, pulled out at a cost of [158 soldiers, one diplomat, one journalist and two civilian contractors] and to have this guy [Cpl. Cirillo] murdered in our capital at our cenotaph, prior to Remembrance Day — you just knew,” Schneider said. “Here’s a man who was just doing a simple duty and it cost him his life.” About 60,000 poppies were distributed by the branch last year, an increase from the previous year of between 5,000 and 10,000, Schneider estimated, with more wreaths also sold. “We got wiped out,” he said. “I had to scramble and ask people all over the place

if they had any [wreaths] — and everybody else was doing the same thing.” KTW spoke to Schneider at the poppy office at 6-275 Seymour St., where boxes filled with wreaths and poppies lined the walls for the Legion’s campaign, which began on Friday with a ceremonial poppy pinned to Mayor Peter Milobar at the branch on Lansdowne Street. Each year, the campaign runs from the last Friday of October through to Remembrance Day on Nov. 11, with poppies distributed at retail outlets, schools, arenas, malls and at the branch. This year’s campaign will be one week shorter than last year, but Schneider hopes to surpass 2014 donations of about $70,000. Money raised is held in trust by each branch to help veterans and families. It also helps ex-military in the Caribbean Islands, where veterans aren’t offered government assistance. “The monies we give them puts them from having nothing to a little bit,” Schneider said. Each September, Schneider ensures about 100,000 poppies are in Kamloops to be distributed. He pulls stock from the previous year — remaining poppies, wreaths and pins are counted and stored in a trailer on a Legion member’s property — and orders more from Eastern Canada, where they are manufactured. At one facility, veterans help make poppies, Schneider said. “At one time, they were made in China and that didn’t go over too well,” he said.

PLUS...

HOLIDAY BONUS CASH!

Poppies cost pennies to make, which allows the Legion to maintain no minimum donation for those wishing to pay tribute to fallen soldiers. “One cent, no cent or a million dollars,” Schneider said. Volunteers see the odd $50 and $100 bill and Schneider remembers opening one box and finding $150 together. “I just about fell over because a $50 [bill], you can see them a mile away,” he said. “And you know it came from the same person because they were all folded together.” “I don’t know where it comes from or who did it, whether it was a rich man, a poor man or anybody in between, but we’re certainly thankful.” Poppies are traditionally worn over the heart, but Schneider won’t tell anyone how to wear one. “Sometimes when you see RCMP officers, they’ll have theirs in a hat,” he said. In Kamloops, the Nov. 11 Remembrance Day ceremony begins at 10:30 a.m. in Riverside Park and will include a flyby from the 419 Squadron from Cold Lake, Alta., at about 11 a.m. Schneider is not sure how people should discard poppies after Remembrance Day — “it’s like a flag if it’s shot,” he noted — but he has some poppies from the past that are tucked into the corners of pictures in his home. Schneider may have another solution. “If you want to wear it every day for a year, I don’t have a problem with that.”

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The B.C. Liberal government has adopted recommended changes to the electoral map that will see the Interior remain largely the same, other than to move Hope back with a group of rural communities in the south. A bill was introduced in the legislature this past week to adopt recommendations in the final report of the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission. The three-member panel twice came to Kamloops as part of its deliberations. The number of seats in the legislature will grow by two, to 87, in order to accommodate population growth in the Lower Mainland. The only change in the Kamloops area will see more of the community of Knutsford join the

Kamloops-South Thompson riding, now held by Transportation Minister Todd Stone. It will be moved from Fraser-Nicola, where the largest community is Merritt. There is no change to Kamloops-North Thompson, Health Minister Terry Lake’s riding, which includes the city north of the river and the North Thompson Valley through Blue River. Existing legislation meant the commission could not reduce the five seats in the ThompsonCariboo, which stretches from the U.S. border north to Williams Lake and the Cariboo. That means some ridings have populations far less than the average, giving voters there a more powerful say during elections. While the two Kamloops ridings are within six per cent of the provincial average of 53,000 people, the rural ridings are much smaller in population.

Fraser-Nicola’s population is 35 per cent less than the average while Cariboo North is 44 per cent smaller. The largest change in the Interior will see Hope included once again with Fraser-Nicola, which encompasses the Nicola Valley, Ashcroft-Cache Creek, Logan Lake and Clinton. The change is needed so the population in Fraser-Nicola does not dip too far below the provincial average. The commission acknowledged it heard arguments from both sides: that Hope should remain with the Fraser Valley, where it was placed in 2008, or moved back with the Interior. “We believe that the residents of Hope and the Fraser Canyon would be equally well represented in either the Fraser Valley or the Interior and neither side’s arguments are more compelling,” the commission report stated.

Study sees need for 30K jobs CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Thompson region will add 30,000 new jobs in the next 10 years, with the highest demand coming in health care, according to a new labour-market report. The study, funded by the province and a number of local industries, forecasts growth in health care jobs at 2.6 per cent a year — more than two-and-a-half times the average. Most occupations are expected to grow at a rate of one per cent a year. “The issue is we have to find a lot of new workers to replace ones that are retiring,” said economist Rob Malatest, who presented results on Friday afternoon to a gathering of community leaders at the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Kamloops. “If you look around the room, one in

three of you won’t be here in 10 years,” he said. About half the demand for new positions will require some post-secondary education, including trades training. Many of the new hires will be low- (27 per cent) and semi-skilled (22 per cent). Occupations that will see growth include hospitality and tourism, as well as clerical staff. The report also recommended Thompson Rivers University establish an engineering program in the city to address major capital projects forecast by the province, including pipelines and major mines. “There’s a need to improve your engineering program,” he said. “They [graduates] will stay here rather than having to attract engineers from other regions.” The forecast number of jobs will

increase if the 31 major projects in an area stretching from McBride in the north to south of the Nicola Valley are a reality. Colin O’Leary, manager of business attraction, retention and expansion for Venture Kamloops, said the labour-market study is the first of its kind to exclude the neighbouring Okanagan, which in the past, he said, “skewed the data.” The study found there are already thousands of jobs going unfilled, despite the fact thousands of people are unemployed. It found 8,000 vacancies and 4,000 unemployed in the region it studied. “We need to match up the 8,000 with the 4,000,” Malatest said. The study interviewed more than 550 employers. Malatest said the numbers are conservative, noting demand will increase if capital projects come on line.

Bob Dieno thought it would take months, not days. The Kamloops business owner and past-president of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce is behind a petition to cancel time change in B.C. He thought the petition would reach 10,000 signatures by next April. “We didn’t expect to hit it in four days,” he told KTW.

With more than 18,000 signatures as of yesterday, Dieno said people have signed it from all over the world — there’s no way of preventing anyone from signing it — but noted most are B.C. residents. “I would say 85 to 90 per cent were B.C. signatures,” he said. The next step is to have a discussion with local MLAs Todd

Stone and Terry Lake. “A regular citizen cannot present a petition to the legislature in B.C.,” Dieno noted. “It has to be done by a MLA.” Dieno has reached out for a meeting with Stone and Lake, but said if the pair does not support the petition, he will start another campaign — one encouraging residents in other

areas of the province to contact their local MLAs. Meantime, he hopes to continue the momentum. “The more people who support the petition the better,” he said. “As long as we keep this conversation going, the government’s going to have to do something.”

His bite was worse than his bark TIM PETRUK

A Kamloops man who fought a sheriff, threatened to kill a Crown witness and bit a corrections officer in the forearm will spend the next 12 months behind bars. Matthew Hein pleaded guilty to three charges — two counts of assaulting a peace officer and one of attempting to pervert justice — in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday. The 28-year-old has been in custody on unrelated matters since last year. Court heard he was at the Kamloops Law Courts for an appearance on March 16. Seated in the courtroom gallery was a witness on a robbery charge Hein was facing. “When Mr. Hein came into the prisoner’s box, he looked directly at [the witness] and drew his thumb across his throat,” Crown prosecutor Kurt Froelick said. “This was witnessed by the Crown prosecutor and numerous other

people in the courtroom.” Later the same day, sheriffs entered Hein’s cell in the courthouse basement to shackle him for another court appearance. Froelick said Hein refused to be shackled. “He yelled, ‘Let’s go,’” Froelick said. “Mr. Hein then took a fighting stance and clenched his fists.” Froelick said a sheriff then punched Hein in the head. Hein responded by throwing numerous punches at the sheriff. He was eventually restrained and taken to court. On April 25, Hein was being housed in Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre’s segregation unit following an incident the previous day. Corrections officers arrived at his cell and asked if they could come in to shackle him to take him to receive his diabetes medication. Hein said the officers could come in, but he began to resist when they started to shackle him. “There was a struggle during which Mr.

Hein bit the right forearm of [a corrections officer],” Froelick said. “Mr. Hein did not release his bite until corrections officers pepper sprayed him.” Court heard the corrections officer was left bleeding and later received treatment at Royal Inland Hospital and missed 30 days of work due to the injury. Hein has a criminal history that includes 61 convictions dating back to 2002. Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate turned to metaphor in his submissions. “Mr. Hein is someone who the bark is much worse than his bite,” he said. “There is, of course, one occasion here when a bite took place.” Provincial court Judge Maryland McKimm had harsh words for Hein. “When you attack people who protect the justice system, you suffer a much more serious consequence because the justice system is there to protect you,” he said. Once he is released from prison, Hein will serve 18 months of probation.

Tough Mudders ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

ormal people don’t do these things. After training for the better part of a year, Shawn O’Brien and Kevin Batter will travel to the desert near Lake Las Vegas to throw themselves into water from 50-foot cliffs, climb hills in the dead of night and run for 24 hours straight in near-freezing temperatures. No, “normal” and “World’s Toughest Mudder don’t even belong in the same sentence. “We’ve done four Tough Mudders now and every year, the bug gets you deeper,” said the 49-year-old Batter. “Now, not only are we doing Tough Mudders, we’re now venturing out and doing any obstacle course race [OCR] we can get our hands on. “The natural transition for us was, well jeez, let’s see how we can do after doing something for 24 hours. “It’s just not something that normal people do.” The Kamloops duo will depart on Nov. 12, arriving in Las Vegas with a day to spare before the beginning of World’s Toughest Mudder 2015 on Nov. 14. The race — a 24-hour enduro of sorts — will take place in the hours spanning from 2 p.m. on Nov. 14 to 2 p.m. on Nov. 15. During that time, O’Brien, Batter and about 1,500 other “crazies” — Batter’s term — will lap the five-mile obstacle course (a little more than eight kilometres) as many times as they’re able.

Shawn O’Brien (left) and Kevin Batter of Kamloops will test their limits at theWorld’s Toughest Mudder in Las Vegas on Nov. 14.

The Kamloops pair — to their knowledge, the only racers from B.C. outside of the Lower Mainland — is hoping to complete 10 laps for 50 miles (about 80 km). But, with a race like this, so much can go wrong. “I think just accomplishing the 24 hours would be the biggest thing, getting through it,” the 40-year-old O’Brien told KTW. The pair will return to Kamloops 24 hours after the race ends. “Hopefully we can make it to the airport. We’re going to be sore for a few days, that’s for sure.” It was in March that Batter and O’Brien registered for the challenge, looking for the next level in their OCR careers. Since then, their hours have been filled with little but training — Kamloops offers the perfect environment, with off-road trails, steep inclines and plenty of facilities for weight training.

After all, with an event like World’s Toughest Mudder, it’s important to be a well-rounded athlete, to have all your eggs in different baskets, so to speak. “It’s all encompassing. It’s basically like throwing 15 sports all into one and that’s what I like about it — it changes,” said Batter, who happened to be training at the gym when he spoke to KTW. His regimen often involves half-marathon length runs and multi-hour gym sessions following his 12-hour night shifts at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. “You’ve got to take yourself out of the comfort zone because there’s not going to be anything about this that’s going to be comfortable,” he said. Entering this, its fifth year, World’s Toughest Mudder has helped athletes to summon epic feats of fitness. See DUO, A18

Trigger points, often a component of muscle & fascia pain syndrome, are irritable, hard ‘knots’ within a muscle that may cause pain over a large area. Dry needling may release the tight muscle bands and decrease pain. IMS (Intra-Muscular Stimulation) is a treatment technique that uses fine solid needles (acupuncture-like needles) to treat tight, shortened, tensed-up muscles, muscle bands which are contributing towards abnormal function of the nervous system.

RADIAL SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Certain chronic musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions have a hard time healing due to the development of unhealthy, disorganized tissue in the are of injury.

Reg Hurlbut is one hip senior. The 66-year-old Kamloops resident soared through the sky with 60 other wingsuited divers to smash a world record on Oct. 20 in Perris, Calif. “Hey, I’m still kicking it pretty good,” said Hurlbut, one of eight Canadians and the only one from B.C. to crack the 61-person roster. “They broke it down so everybody had their jobs and we had different ways of approaching the formation, to come in high, drop to the level of the formation and proceed to go into your slot.” Three planes flew to 13,500 feet and unleashed the flying squirrels, who formed a diamond shape before breaking apart at 5,500 feet and parachuting into Skydive Perris. The record obliterated the old mark of 42 flyers in diamond formation set in June and was verified by a panel of judges

from Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), governing body for air sports, aeronautics and astronautics world records. Hurlbut must have felt left out when he was cut from a group of 50 that established a new mark earlier in the day, only to have organizers deem it safe for 11 more to join in for an earlyevening sunset load. “When we tried the 100way three years ago, somebody died,” Hurlbut said, noting the 100-person jump was not FAIsanctioned. “This year, the organization was top notch. “We spent hours on the ground with little dots on this grassed area. We’d get out there with our wingsuits on, so we knew which colours we were looking at, where we should be positioned and how far apart we should be. That was excruciating, but I felt no anxiety about the jump.” There is a video of the recordbreaking feat — which featured participants from 12 countries,

including Canada, Britain, Australia, Russia, Poland, South Africa and Israel — and photos posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com. The goal on Oct. 20 was to set the new record at 73, but weather did not co-operate and organizers settled on 51. Hurlbut worked as a logger for 23 years and at a mill for 16 years. He moved to Kamloops from Valemount when he was 60 to enrol at Thompson Rivers University, where he became a health-care assistant, and be closer to the Kamloops Skydiving Club (KSC) because “it got tedious to drive that kind of distance to jump out of an airplane,” he said. Now retired, he teaches lessons at the KSC and has no plans to hang up the wingsuit anytime soon. “I’ll be jumping until I can’t get into a plane any more,” Hurlbut said. “It’s magnificent up there.”

Nick Chyzowski was one of seven goal scorers to light the lamp for the Kamloops Blazers in a 7-3 victory over the Lethbridge Hurricanes at Sandman Centre on Friday. “We’re starting to click right now and it feels good,” said Chyzowski, whose Blazers have won five of their last seven games. “Everyone’s working really hard and it’s good to see.” The ‘Canes (10-4) were riding an eightgame winning streak heading into the Tournament Capital, but came out flat and were outshot 30-9 in the first two periods. Kamloops (5-8) has rebounded from its worst start in franchise history and will look for a third consecutive victory tonight against the Spokane Chiefs. Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre.

How and why did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters? I participated in the Bowl for Kids Sake event for the past 4 years through work. Last year was my first year as a mentor. At a BBBS thank-you breakfast for workplace bowling teams, a young lady stood up and told us the story of her and her Little. Hearing that story was truly inspirational and I knew the mentoring program would be something I would enjoy. What do you enjoy about the In-School Mentoring Program? There are so many things I enjoy about the mentoring program. Getting to know your Little’s interests and watching them grow and change throughout the year is very enjoyable and rewarding. How often do you see your Little and what do you do? Once a week we get to hang out and do a lot of different things. We make crafts, play on the piano, and sometimes just hang out and talk about our days. How is this relationship fitting into your life? I work Monday to Friday 8:30-5:00. I plan my lunch break for when I am going to hang out with my little. It is a very easy fit into my life.

Chiefs in scoring. Blazers’ head coach Don Hay praised his team’s effort after the game on Wednesday, making special note of goaltender Connor Ingram, who’s improved play has coincided with the Blazers’ rebound.

“Our goaltending has been really, really solid,” Hay said. “He didn’t have a lot of shots early, but he made some real good saves.” Ingram stopped 18 shots to secure his fifth victory of the campaign. Stuart Skinner had a rough night between the pipes for the Hurricanes, allowing six goals on 24 shots. Jayden Sittler made 13 saves in relief of Skinner. Jesse Zaharichuk, Quinn Benjafield, Matt Revel, Garrett Pilon, Collin Shirley and Gage Quinney rounded out the Blazers’ scoring.

Giorgio Estephan notched two goals for the visitors and Ryley Lindgren added a single. After starting 0-6 and languishing in the Western Conference basement, a win tonight would see the Blazers leapfrog the Vancouver Giants and land in ninth place. “It was a rough start to the season, but everybody is working as hard as they can every day,” said Benjafield, whose marker on Wednesday was his first of the season. “It was a slow start for me and it feels good to contribute.”

Who would you recommend this program to? I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to grow and learn. Kids are the best teachers! How has your Little beneﬁtted from the program? I was very lucky to watch my Little grow into a more conﬁdent person. Why do you think someone should volunteer in this program? I think that as a Big Sister you get to grow and learn from this program. My Little and I set a goal last year to teach each other something new and it was a lot of fun to learn new skills together.

Titans make playoffs, despite loss The Vernon Panthers finished atop the Okanagan AA Varsity Conference after downing the visiting South Kamloops Titans 21-7 in B.C. High School Football play on Saturday. Vernon started quickly with a pair of touchdowns and South Kam never recovered, with the Titans unable to register points in three trips inside the Panthers’ 10-yard line. Ben MacDonald threw a touchdown pass to Trey Isaac, who kicked the conversion to round out the Titans’ scoring. Vernon (4-0) finished as the conference’s top seed and South Kam (3-1), which placed second, will receive the conference’s only other playoff berth. The Titans’ first-round opponent has not yet been determined. In a crosstown showdown for third place in the conference, the Valleyview Vikings (1-2) and Westsyde Blue Wave (1-2) will square off on Friday at Hillside Stadium. Game time is 5 p.m. Valleyview is coming off its first victory of the campaign — a 24-6 triumph over the

Duo signs death waiver for Mudder From A15

Canadian Ryan Atkins holds the distance record at the event, having covered 100 miles en route to being named World’s Toughest Mudder Champion in 2013. He won the event again in

2014 with a 95-mile effort. Batter and O’Brien don’t have eyes for this year’s top prize of $10,000 in the men’s event, instead hoping to get the brown bib that comes with completion of 50 miles and the headband that comes

to racers still going when the clock reaches 24 hours. They hope to return from Las Vegas healthy, too. “You sign a death waiver when you do Tough Mudders and they’re not kidding,” Batter said. “There have been

NATIONAL SPORTS

Royals’ fans rejoice in World Series victory DAVE SKRETTA

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The jersey that Eric Hosmer wore in the decisive game of the World Series is headed to the Hall of Fame. So is the glove Salvador Perez used, the spikes Lorenzo Cain laced up and the bat third baseman Mike Moustakas took to the plate. Maybe they ought to ask for the goal posts from the University of Kansas. Those were torn down inside Memorial Stadium in the wee hours yesterday morning, shortly after the Royals beat the New York Mets to win their first championship in three decades. Thousands of fans shot off fireworks, stormed sporting-goods stores to buy the latest apparel and spent the night partying as if it was New Year’s Eve in downtown Kansas City. “Our fan base and our team share a real special bond,’’ Hosmer said. “That’s grown throughout the whole entire world, I think, as the fans have watched us compete

throughout this post-season.’’ Indeed, the Royals made plenty of new fans with their scrappy, fight-to-the-last-out style. President Barack Obama called manager Ned Yost yesterday and said the team was fun to watch and made Royals fans proud, according to White House spokesman Josh Earnest, a Kansas City native. They won 95 games during the regular season and earned home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. But, they never seemed to be the favourites — not against the plucky Astros, the powerful Blue Jays or the hard-throwing Mets’ starting rotation.

“I think the resiliency of this team and the way we can come back and the way we just count ourselves in every single game, I think it makes for a fun team to watch,’’ Hosmer explained. “It’s definitely a fun team to play for.’’ That resiliency was evident throughout their October ride. In the Division Series, they trailed the Astros by four runs in a game that could have ended their season, then rallied to win the series. They kept fighting back when the Blue Jays kept pounding home runs, eventually winning their second straight AL championship. It was in the World Series that they really shined, though. The Royals trailed in all five games against the Mets, winning three times when they were down in the eighth inning or later — something no team had ever accomplished. In the decider, the Royals became the first team since the 1939 Yankees to trail by two runs in the ninth inning or later of a potential clinching

game and somehow rally to victory. All told, Kansas City trailed by at least two runs in seven of its 11 playoff wins. “The way guys played all season,’’ Cain said, “the way guys stepped up even though we were down the entire game, it was a huge team effort.’’ Now, that team that formed such a bond with its city the past two seasons will get to revel in a championship together. Their victory parade is today in downtown Kansas City, a route that will take the entire entourage about two miles to historic Union Station. The victory rally at the base of the National World War I Memorial will begin when the parade arrives, and thousands of fans lining the parade route are expected to converge there. “It’s a dream come true, not just for the players, but the staff, for the front office, for most importantly, the fans of Kansas City,’’ outfielder Jarrod Dyson said. “It’s been a long time since Kansas City raised a trophy like that and I’m just happy to be a part of it.’’

BIKE DOC IN KAMLOOPS

Marinoni: The Fire in the Frame, a documentary on champion cyclist and Canadian bike craftsman Giuseppe Marinoni, will be shown in Kamloops tomorrow at the Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille Rd. It’s the story of the master craftsman’s decision at age 75 to use a bike he built when he was 45 and try to set a world record for his age group for most distance biked in one hour. In order to do this, he returned to his homeland of Italy to train; he also spent time with his friend Jocelyn Lovell, one of the country’s greatest cyclist, who was left a quadriplegic following an accident. The movie took second place at the Vancouver International Film Festival last year for most popular Canadian documentary film. It was also nominated in 2014 for audience award and best Canadian documentary at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. It was nominated this year in the Canadian Screen Awards for best feature-length documentary and best editing this year. Producer Tony Girardin will introduce the film at 7 p.m. and host a question-and-answer session after. Tickets are $20 and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Shapiro retains Gibbons THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Mark Shapiro says it will be business as usual for the Toronto Blue Jays, even without Alex Anthopoulos. Shapiro was introduced as the team’s new president and chief executive officer yesterday, days after former general manager Anthopoulos declined to sign a new contract. Anthopoulos was a popular figure in Toronto, particularly after his tradedeadline deals that netted stars David Price and Troy Tulowitzki helped the Jays reach the playoffs for the first time in 22 years. His decision to leave the team at the height of its resurgence was deeply unpopular with Blue Jay fans, making for a somewhat awkward introduction for Shapiro.

“Not the transition originally expected,’’ Shapiro said to open his news conference. With the notable exceptions of Anthopoulos and Paul Beeston, whom Shapiro replaces as president, Shapiro seems intent on retaining much of the Jays’ front office and team management “in the spirit of continuity and building off the incredible foundation that Alex put in place.’’ He said John Gibbons will be back as manager and Tony LaCava, Anthopoulos’s assistant last season, was promoted to interim GM while a search for a permanent replacement takes place. Shapiro also said other members of the front-office staff will be offered a chance to return. Some media reports last week suggested Shapiro was unhappy Anthopoulos gave up numerous bluechip prospects at the trade deadline.

While Shapiro dismissed reports that he “scolded’’ Anthopoulos, he indicated that there will be long-term issues to deal with as a result of the deadline-day dealing. “In every decision there’s a balance,’’ he said. “There’s risk/reward, there’s short-term and long-term. In this case clearly the short-term benefit of those trades is absolutely apparent and was tremendous. At the same point there are challenges that come with trading players and those challenges, I think, need to become part of a long-term strategy.’’ Shapiro said he hoped Anthopoulos would stay in Toronto, but respected the former GM’s decision to move on. “It was my sincere hope that I would have the chance to learn from him and to partner with him and to work with him,’’ Shapiro said. “Yet he’s obviously earned the right to make the decision he made.’’

Carter rugby’s player of year THE CANADIAN PRESS

LONDON — New Zealand flyhalf Dan Carter received his third World Rugby Player of the Year Award on Sunday, 10 years after his first. Also the recipient in 2012, Carter became only the second three-time winner, beside his captain Richie McCaw. Both of them led the All Blacks to a record third Rugby World Cup triumph on Saturday, in what was expected to be their last test match. After 112 tests and a world-record test tally of 1,598 points, Carter will shortly take up a three-year contract at Racing Metro club in Paris. He was on a six-man shortlist for World Rugby’s award, along with New Zealand teammate Julian Savea, Australia flankers David Pocock and Michael Hooper, Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw, and Wales lock Alun Wyn Jones. The All Blacks were named team of the year and Australia’s Michael Cheika the coach of the year.

Each Loss ... Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Creativity will help you achieve much this week, but it’s also important to maintain a practical outlook. These two factors combine for a greater measure of success.

Romance is on your mind this week and you have to find a way to fit it prominently in your agenda, Taurus. If you have been busy lately, slow down to spend time with a loved one.

Libra, mingling can bring out the best in you, so get out there this week as much as you can. Show off your people skills and converse with people from various walks of life.

Scorpio, this may be the best your social life has been in a long time. If you have opportunities, try moving in different social circles by joining clubs or becoming part of a volunteer group.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Home may feel like a personal retreat after the last few weeks you have been experiencing, Gemini. If you need rest, take it. It’s not a sign of slacking off.

This week you are bogged down by menial tasks and hope that something more exciting will come your way, Gemini. If you play your cards right, the weekend could be a blast.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, a financial boost may compel you to go on a spending spree. Just be sure you keep track of those purchases so you do not go overboard.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

ONLY $325

Virgo, your confidence peaks this week and you take a leap of faith in a new arena. It may be a new job or a thrilling hobby. Travel is another option that may require bravery.

Sagittarius, your desire for adventure could soon see you booking a cruise or taking a trip around the world. For now, there’s plenty to keep you occupied at home and work.

Capricorn, explore new avenues in your life, even if it makes you feel a little nervous to branch out. You might be surprised with what you find if you give things a try.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, research all of your options before making a big decision. Figure out the details before you make any changes that could have long-term effects.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Try to exercise more vigorously and regularly this week, Pisces. Not only is it good for your body, it’s good for relieving stress.

HALLOWEEN HELLIONS

Seven kids (siblings Alex and Beth, siblings Cindy and Denise, siblings Effie and Fred and lone child George) got into trouble over one or more Halloween events. A kid is “nicer” than another kid if the first kid was involved in fewer events. “Worse” is the opposite. The events were collecting candy twice, setting off firecrackers and stomping on a geezer’s lawn. There are eight combinations of events, but none of these kids are angels, so ignore the no-events possibility. Each kid was responsible for a different combination. Alex is nicer than Denise. No two siblings both set off firecrackers. Beth is worse than Denise. Effie set off firecrackers. Alex and Fred went lawn stomping, but Denise did not. No two siblings are equally nice. So, who did what? The answer to this math quiz will be printed in this space one week from today. A prize will be awarded via a random draw among correct entries. Send your answer to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Deadline: 4 p.m. Friday, November 6th
