With a proposal to build a performingarts centre on Seymour Street shot down by voters on the weekend, the owners of the other site considered for the centre won’t be leading a charge to bring the project to Victoria Street. Hotel 540 put its Victoria Street property forward as a potential arts-centre home last year, but a consultant’s report deemed it a more expensive choice than the former home of the Kamloops Daily News at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue, which is owned by the city. Early estimates put the cost of an arts centre on the Daily News site at $90 million, compared to $102 million for Hotel 540. On Saturday, Kamloopsians voted down a plan to borrow up to $49 million to build the centre on Seymour Street. Bryan Pilbeam, Hotel 540 general manager and

He and his family and friends have been volunteering at the New Life Mission since July, buying groceries, cooking vegetarian Indian cuisine and serving food to the hungry. They call their monthly contribution Guru Nanak Meals, named for the Sikh guru who started langar — free community meals traditionally served at Sikh places of worship. “Everybody, no matter who they are, no matter what background they come from, what gender they are, they are all welcome to sit down together and have a meal,” Gill said.

vice-president with National Hospitality Group, said the hotel group still supports a downtown arts centre, but isn’t looking to get involved in making the project a reality at this time. “It’s not something we’re talking about or considering right now,” he said. “If there was an opportunity for us down the road that made sense and that space wasn’t committed, we would entertain the discussion I suppose, but it’s not something we’re waiting on or leading the charge on.” Instead, Pilbeam

said his focus is on redeveloping the portion of its property that used to hold Lake City Casino. Lake City moved out of Hotel 540 this past summer when the new Cascades Casino opened in Aberdeen. Pilbeam said demolition of the 14,000-square-foot former Lake City setup is underway. “It’s taking longer than we first thought,” he said. “ There was layers of history, I guess, that’s in that space that’s all being demolished and removed,” he said.

City seeks ticketing agent for facilities NOT LOOKING TO REPLACE KAMLOOPS LIVE, DESPITE RFP WORDING ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The City of Kamloops says a tender seeking ticketing services for Sandman Centre, with the possibility of expansion into other city facilities, isn’t a sign it is looking to replace a local box-office company. In a request for proposals (RFP) for ticketing services at Sandman Centre, the city indicates services at other buildings “such as the Sagebrush Theatre, the Tournament Capital Centre, Hillside Stadium, the Memorial Arena, the McArthur Island Sports and Event Centre and the proposed performing-arts centre.” Tickets for Sagebrush events are sold out of the Kamloops Live box
office, operated by Western Canada Theatre (WCT) in Pavilion Theatre. Suzan Goguen, communications and marketing director at WCT, said she isn’t aware of any plans to stop serving the theatre. “It is business as usual at Kamloops Live! Box Office,” she wrote in an email. Barb Berger, the city’s recreation, social-development and culture manager, said the RFP wasn’t meant to suggest the city was looking to replace Kamloops Live. “At this point, the RFP is for Sandman Centre, but we have had a few events go to TCC (like Globetrotters, Deepak Chopra) and to know we could extend the service when needed is what we are looking for,” she wrote in an email. The city had a contract with Ticketmaster for Sandman Centre

since 2005, but the agreement expired this year. Kamloops Blazers ticket sales aren’t included in the contract as the Western Hockey League team has a separate arrangement with Ticketmaster for its sales. According to the RFP, the city sells between 20,000 and 25,000 tickets for 10 to 15 non-hockey events, such as Cirque du Soleil performances and large concerts, at Sandman Centre each year. An average of between 1,800 and 2,000 tickets are sold per event. The average ticket price at the centre was $54 in 2012 and $59 in 2013. In 2013, the city reports it sold 83 per cent of all possible tickets to its events, up from 69 per cent the year before. The RFP closes tomorrow.
Security guard stabbed at Walmart A 19-year-old man alleged to have stabbed a Walmart security guard this week was arrested and will remain in jail following a brief court appearance on Tuesday. Connor Dufresne faces charges of aggravated assault and robbery following what RCMP say was a stabbing at the Sahali retailer on Monday evening. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police were called about 5:30 p.m. when the security guard tried to stop a man who staff believed left the store without paying for merchandise. Police allege Dufresne stabbed the guard and fled. RCMP arrested Dufresne a short distance away. Crown and defence lawyers agreed in provincial court on Tuesday to remand Dufresne in custody while he awaits a possible bail hearing at a later date. Bush said the stabbing victim was taken to Royal Inland Hospital, where he received treatment for non-life threatening injuries.

Three out of four Kamloops teachers surveyed by their union have concerns with the new My Education B.C. reporting program the Ministry of Education has told them to use. David Komljenovic, president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA) told trustees this week that 320 teachers took part in the recent survey and described it as being difficult to learn, not user-friendly, cumbersome, and slow. Teachers added that My Education B.C. takes more time to use than the previous system. Komljenovic said almost 80 per cent of the school-based trainers teaching how to use the new software felt they weren’t being given enough time to do so and 91
per cent indicated they weren’t confident they had enough training to be passing the instruction on. Learning-assistance teachers said it takes up to three times longer to do individual education plans for students with whom they work, something they said impacts getting the plans in place to help direct the child’s education. The new $95-million web-based system was brought in provincewide in September. Komljenovic told trustees the system has caused significant workload issues for teachers who are spending more time trying to learn the program. “The concern is that it will have an overall effect on preparation for classroom instruction,” he said. Kamloops-Thompson school district assistant superintendent John Churchley said the new software has been “glitchy,” with frequent slow-downs, but said much
of that is because it is new. He said the deadline for elementary report cards to be issued has been pushed back from the end of this month to before Christmas, adding if there are issues with students, teachers will contact the parents and not wait for the report cards to be issued. Churchley said if he was teaching, he would also find the new system frustrating, but noted new computer software for the district’s human-resources and financial systems came with glitches and bugs that took time to work through. Questions posed by KTW to the Ministry of Education elicited an email response asserting the new service is “exactly what’s needed for moving B.C.’s education system forward.” The email said the software choice followed two years of consultations and involved teachers, administrators, the ministry and school-district personnel.
Classes largely below maximums Most classroom sizes in the Kamloops-Thompson school district are below provincial legal maximums, but 33 classes in the secondary level exceed the maximum of 30 students. Most of those are music, band, leadership or PE classes. Thirteen are traditional academic classes, but most
are over by one or two students. In a report to the board of education this week, superintendent Karl deBruijn released the following information: • aggregate kindergarten class size is 19.7 students; the regulation sets maximum at 22 students; • aggregate for grades 1 to 3 is 21.6; maximum is 24;
• aggregate for grades 4 to 7 is 26.3; maximum is 30; • aggregate for grades 8 to 12 is 23.1; maximum is 30. Classes above the maximum — which can be done with teacher approval — include Westsyde secondary’s instrumental music 11 and 12, concert band and music 10 class with 46 students. Beattie School of the Arts also
has a mixed music, choir and concert class with 39 students. Brocklehurst middle school has several oversized classes in physical education, dance and soccer. DeBruijn explained in his report that creating a slightly larger class is sometimes the best option to ensure students who want a subject can access it.
SD73 gets $1.1 million from Victoria They asked for more than $7 million from the provincial government, but the Kamloops-Thompson school district is happy with the $1.1 million it has received to do work at four schools. Art McDonald, director of facilities and transportation for the school district, said the money will be used to replace interior wiring, receptacles and electrical panels at NorKam secondary, upgrading and replacing panels and wiring with high-efficiency equipment. That project will cost $233,700. Summit elementary will see $225,000 spent to replace an aging boiler system and install a direct digital-control system that should increase efficiency by up to 30 per cent. All lighting at Valleyview secondary
Bahamas Friday, Nov 13, 2015 Coast Kamloops Hotel Theatre Tickets available at www.ticketweb.ca
will be switched to LED equipment at a cost of $304,800. The project is anticipated to create an annual operating savings of $6,000, annual maintenance savings of between $2,000 and $4,000 and an immediate rate saving of $6,400 for the first three years after the work is done. A similar lighting retrofit is planned for Brocklehurst middle school, with anticipated annual savings of $7,000, maintenance savings of between $3,000 and $5,000 and a rate saving for the first three years of about $8,000.
New South Kam top priority
Trustees have received a copy of the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s five-year capital-plan request — and replacing South Kamloops
secondary at a cost of just under $50 million remains its No. 1 priority. Second on the wish list is $9.9 million to add to Westmount elementary, followed by $14.2 million to build a new school in the Pineview Valley area. The 34-item plan summary also includes replacing or renovating most elementary schools in the district.
$3 million in summer maintenance
About $3 million in maintenance and upgrades were completed on district schools in the summer. McDonald said the most expensive projects involved roofing ($800,000), paving ($400,000) flooring and windows (about $400,000 each).

Post-secondary students and instructors can now access more than 120 textbooks online, including more than 50 new textbooks focused on skills training and technical subjects. Sixty-four TRU sociology students have saved more than $10,000 using open textbooks in the class. Previously, the hard-copy version of the textbook would have cost each student $160. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

BE VISIBLE IN WINTER MONTHS We’ve all been there — driving down a poorly lit stretch of road in rain or snow, desperately trying to make out the lane markers and trying to see past the windshield wipers screeching at full speed. All of a sudden a cyclist or another car veers into your lane. It’s a nightmare no motorist wants to experience. Slowing down for poor road conditions may be logical, but it’s a strategy often forgotten by drivers anxious to reach their destination and surging forward at dangerous speeds. Between November and January, speed-related crashes resulting in injuries or fatalities increase by more than 50 per cent across the province, according to ICBC. Driving too fast for the conditions is a major factor. It’s the time of year when the days get darker by the minute and the weather is a far cry from summer sunshine. During these winter months, many motorists find themselves spending more time behind the wheel after dark. While it is crucial that motorists exercise more caution, pedestrians, cyclists and other road users share a responsibility to make themselves seen in the dark. Non-drivers may think they’re visible to motorists, but wearing reflective clothing, installing lights on a bike or carrying a flashing light of some sort is the best way to help ensure you’ll be seen. The numbers are clear: Motorists in general can see pedestrians and cyclists with reflective or flashing items from up to 500 feet away. Without such items — or worse, if you’re wearing dark clothing — that number drops down to 100 feet before most drivers have a chance of seeing you. To the joggers, walkers, cyclists and other road users out there, don’t assume you’ll be seen. Leaving your safety to chance is not something on which you want to risk your life.

The silence was deafening
I
f you want to know why the performing-arts centre referendum failed, you need only look at who was at city hall when the No votes came in. The Yes committee was there, people who came together and wore T-shirts, handed out pamphlets, put up please vote signs and sent out some basic information. City council — the people who should have been the cheerleaders during the campaign — was represented on Saturday night by Mayor Peter Milobar and Coun. Pat Wallace. That’s it. None of the others on council — who actually were pretty quiet during the lead-up to the referendum — bothered to go down and see what the people they represent decided. The silence from city hall during the campaign was downright deafening. Beyond columns in KTW written by Milobar and Coun. Donovan Cavers, there wasn’t much more than a peep now and then from anyone. Back in April, Coun. Tina Lang broke down the cost to taxpayers as being just 10 cents a day, an investment she said would “increase the economic development downtown, give the downtown an anchor, bring great entertainment acts to town and so much more.” We didn’t hear much more from her after that. It makes you wonder if they actually believed in the project to begin with. Where were they when former

LEVEL councillor Nelly Dever popped up with her truly strange Not Yet campaign? Why wasn’t someone from city hall asking Dever why she wasn’t sure a black-box theatre was needed and how she came up with the numbers she was using in her campaign? So many groups that should have been cheering did little more than send out a press release expressing support for the project. Where were all those downtown business people who want a parkade built? Why weren’t they out talking about the project? Even the city’s arts and culture community was rather quiet. Sure, some of them were working on the campaign headed by local realtor Brendan Shaw, but perhaps Kamloopsians needed to actually hear from the people who are supposed to be the champions of the arts themselves about why the project would have been good for the city. And who decided the best go-to answer would be: “Read our business plan online?” Finally, another reason why the No vote won is all of them at
the council horseshoe forgot one basic reality, something the council that brought in the Tournament Capital Centre program clearly understood — whether we like it or not, the reality is a large part of the population of the North Shore feels like the unappreciated family member and seeing yet another big-ticket item earmarked for the South Shore no doubt rankled many of them. After all, this is the same part of the city that had to actually petition to get upgraded street lights installed in its major retail area. It’s the area that has had to bear the brunt of all the work done on the bridges that connect it to the South Shore. It’s the area where the city thought it made perfect sense to cut in half a road providing access to its major shopping centre to put in a transit exchange. While council seems to have a develop-the-downtown agenda, it forgot there are North Shore residents — and, seeing the poll-bypoll, there are a lot of them — who are tired of seeing everything on the south side of the Overlanders Bridge. It will be interesting to see what council decides to do with the old Kamloops Daily News property. It’s a prime piece of real estate that needs to be more than a parking lot. There is no Plan B for the site, which is disheartening because it means it will continue to sit empty, with a bit of money coming in from the parking spots while the whole area stagnates. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter.com: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MOVE ONWARD FOR ALL CANADIANS
SLASH BURNING A WASTE Editor: Re: KTW’s Nov. 3 article on slash burning (‘Union calls for an end to wasteful burning of slash piles’): I don’t know what the solution is but, over the last decade, I have driven to and from Merritt at least three time each week. During that time, I have seen dozens of slash-pile burns — some very close to the highway. Without any exaggeration, I have literally felt the heat from some of those burning piles radiate through the window of my passing car. What a waste. Kudos to those trying to make use of this valuable resource. John Franks Kamloops
Editor: Having read Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief and Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson’s comment on the front page of the Oct. 29 edition of KTW, I realized his comments were not founded on a new belief, but on a posture already adopted by native people in dealing with anything that might be considered to be progress. If quoted correctly in the article (‘Best damn partner or worst enemy’), Gottfriedson said: “I respect that First Nations people don’t support development. That’s our right. That’s our constitutional right.” It seems to me that the rights of all Canadians should be to do what is necessary to advance our country within the framework of good environmental concerns and to create a firm, thriving economy. A strong economy will help us provide the social structure that gives
medical care, social housing, good infrastructure and the other necessities to all our people, including native people. During the last 20 years or more, we have heard via the media that treaty negotiations (with some exceptions) have not been very successful. My experience has shown that problems can be solved if those involved are of goodwill and truly wish to resolve the differences. Has this been the problem given the comments made by Gottfriedson? A strong economy is necessary to produce new businesses and jobs. These in turn can also enhance the future for all, including native people, should anyone care to take advantage of the opportunities. Instead, Gottfriedson is saying we should stagnate and live in a world without a strong economic future. He was also quoted as saying: “We hold all the cards when it comes to
business relations in our territories. The world of business now knows that things can’t happen without our consent.” Unfortunately, this seems to be true, but the boundaries of what is “our territories” seems to expand with any possible new economic development put forward. I am sure most Canadians realize there have been many transgressions against our native brothers, but it seems to me that now is the time to move onward and develop a sound working relationship based on a mutual belief in the future of our country. This means for all of our people, not just for some. I call on all concerned to negotiate new developments with an enlightened attitude and a concern for all the people of our great Canada. Bob Iverson Kamloops
CONGRATULATIONS ON BRIDGE PROJECT Editor: The Overlanders Bridge project was a beautiful job. Kudos to ICCI , all the city engineers and the director of public works. On the matter of the bumpy expansion joints, nothing more can be done to reduce their presence, which lets motorists know they have transitioned from an asphalt surface to a metal one. Motorists must realize an expansion joint in a bridge deck is there to minimize the buckling of the deck when the mercury reaches 40 C — when the joint closes — and during cold winter temperatures, when the joint opens, creating more space. Having built many bridges in my career, the
joints on Overlanders are much more silent than those in new construction. Also, joints in some existing bridges around Kamloops tend to make motorists more aware of their presence than on other crossings. Building a new bridge would cost in the neighbor hood of five times the cost of rehabbing — and with the same result of a noisy expansion joint.

A judge has ordered a Kamloops resident to serve 140 days in jail after he dropped his pants in front of a neighbour. James Doll pleaded guilty to indecent exposure and breach of probation. Crown prosecutor Mike Wong said the incident occurred on Aug. 11 on the victim’s balcony. The woman was friendly with her neighbour and his parents. Doll dropped by that evening when she was on her balcony. Wong said Doll asked for beer, was drunk and increasingly insistent. “She told Mr. Doll, ‘You’ve got to go home because I’ve got

Provincial court judge Chris Cleaveley agreed to Crown’s request to revoke that conditional-sentence order and send Doll to jail for the remainder of the term — 140 days — along with a $500 fine. Defence lawyer Jeremy Knight said Doll acknowledges his problems with drugs and booze and has sought counselling. In addition to drinking that night, Doll took the drug ecstasy. “He’s incredibly ashamed,” Knight said. “There’s no sexual motive to this at all . . . It’s more of a highly sophomoric, immature prank.” Doll is a roofer who wants to start his own company in Kamloops. He supports two children who do not live with him.

Wong said the woman told police: “He just stood up, dropped his pants and put his junk right in my face.” The victim was upset and told Doll to leave. He apologized and left her residence. Wong said the woman debated for several days before calling police. Doll was on a conditional sentence for a marijuanatrafficking offence in Alberta. He was on a court order not to drink alcohol or take nonprescription medicine.

When Hal Bennett connected with ASK Wellness, he was facing overwhelming life issues. “I had so many health issues, substance issues and housing issues — a full plate load,” Bennett said during a press conference announcing the extension of a program that helped him.

RIH head vows tower will rise DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
There is no doubt in Carol Laberge’s mind a new surgical tower will be built at Royal Inland Hospital. “It’s not if, it’s when,” the RIH administrator told a recent Kamloops Chamber of Commerce lunch meeting. “We are getting this tower.” Laberge, who took over administering RIH about seven months ago, acknowledged Health Minister Terry Lake’s work in getting approval for the $80-million clinical-services building and parkade now under construction on the
north side of the hospital, telling the gathering work is on schedule for an opening next summer. She said there have been three meetings with representatives of groups that would use a surgical tower, with two more planned, as the Interior Health Authority creates the business plan needed to make its case to the provincial government. Conceptual drawings have already been done and plans are to build it on the east side of the hospital. Earlier this year, Lake said he anticipates receiving the plan by the end of next year, with construction by 2020. Laberge reviewed other
aspects of health care at RIH, including a program designed to reduce the length of hospital stays after major surgeries, improved processes that speed up recovery after colo-rectal surgeries and new training for staff who want to take on specific new initiatives that enhance the provision of health care. While much of the presentation was on programs and statistics, Laberge also talked about the chimes heard often throughout RIH. Every time a baby is born in the hospital, the chimes are rung. “And it’s almost like the hospital takes a pause when you hear the chimes,” Laberge said.
Downtown Cooper’s sold
ONLY $325
The Cooper’s Foods store on Lansdowne Street in downtown Kamloops has been bought by the Overwaitea Food Group. The deal between the Jim Pattison owned grocerystore corporation and Larry Bertoncini became final on Nov. 1 as Bertoncini decided to retire. Ernie Cordonier, who is now manager of the Cooper’s Foods store in Valleyview, has been hired for the downtown store and will oversee the 54 employees there. The Lansdowne Village outlet was the only remaining franchise Cooper’s Foods store within the Overwaitea Food Group, a company that has more
than 140 stores in B.C. and Alberta under several banners: Cooper’s Foods, Save-On-Foods, PriceSmart Foods, Urban Fare, Overwaitea Foods and Bulkley Valley Wholesale. “We are so happy to welcome these team members to the OFG family and to have the Lansdowne location join our company,” said Overwaitea Food Group president Darrell Jones. “We wish Larry all the best in his well-deserved retirement.” Bertoncini noted he started with Cooper’s four decades ago. “And I am going out on a high note today with Cooper’s. What a ride it has been,” he said.

MAKING THE MOST OF IT
MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Team WHL’s two late additions seized their Canada Russia Series opportunities. Kamloops Blazers’ forwards Collin Shirley and Deven Sideroff were added to the lineup when Dillon Dube of the Kelowna Rockets and John Quenneville of the Brandon Wheat Kings,
both forwards, bowed out due to injury. Shirley registered a goal and three assists in a 7-3 victory over Russia in Game 1 in Kelowna on Monday playing on a line with Sideroff and the WHL’s leading scorer, Brayden Point of the Moose Jaw Warriors. Sideroff scored a goal and Shirley had an assist in a 4-2 win over the Russians in Game 2 in Kamloops

on Tuesday, with top prospect Mathew Barzal of the Seattle Thunderbirds replacing Point on their line. “It turned out better than I expected,” said Shirley, who set a Team WHL record with five points in two games. “I was coming in as a late guy and focused on playing simple. I wasn’t doing too much, but I’ve got to give a ton of credit to the guys
in the room. It’s a great accomplishment and, without them, I wouldn’t have even came close.” Forward Ryan Gropp of the T-Birds and defenceman Joe Hicketts of the Victoria Royals, former teammates with the bantam tier 1 Kamloops Jardine’s Blazers, were reunited on Team WHL. See CONFIDENCE, A17
off. The Seattle Thunderbirds’ forward was all smiles during an interview before he laced them up for Team WHL against the Russians at Sandman Centre on Tuesday, reminiscing on his Kamloops Minor Hockey Association tenure, harking back to NHL Draft day and looking ahead to the future. After a stellar career with the tier 1 Kamloops Jardine’s Blazers, the T-Birds selected Gropp sixth overall in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. He spent time at Okanagan Hockey Academy in Penticton, then with the junior A Penticton Vees and announced in July of 2013 his intention to play on scholarship at the University of North Dakota, opting not to report to Victoria. Four months later, Gropp, whose father, Brent, played for the Colorado College Tigers in the mid-1980s, had a change of heart and joined the T-Birds. The 6-foot-2, 187-pound left winger said the WHL provided him an opportunity to focus solely on his lifelong goal of playing in the NHL without the additional responsibilities that come part and parcel with school. We don’t know what would have happened if Gropp went to Grand Forks or how his pro career will pan out, but we do know what’s transpired in Seattle. In 2013-2014, he notched 42 points, 18 of them goals, in 59 games with the T-Birds as a 17-year-old, and last season he recorded 30 goals and 58 points in 67 games. The New York Rangers took notice, along with most other NHL

teams, and traded up to select Gropp 41st overall in Round 2 at this year’s entry draft in Sunrise, Fla. That was one of the happiest days of his life, Gropp said, and now it’s his job to pay the Rangers back for their belief in him. He finds himself in a great position to do that, playing on a line in Seattle with Mathew Barzal, who the New York Islanders picked 16th overall at this year’s draft, and Keegan Kolesar, who Columbus snagged in Round 3. Gropp and Joe Hicketts, longtime friends and former minor hockey teammates, kicked around the soccer ball prior to taking questions from media on Tuesday morning. Hicketts won gold with Canada in January at the World Junior Championship and is often asked about the feat, one Gropp has yet to accomplish. If Gropp finds favour with Hockey Canada brass — including head coach Dave Lowry, who was Team WHL’s bench boss on Monday and Tuesday — and cracks the 2016 world juniors squad in December, that would be another dream come true. For now, he’s just happy with where his path has taken him.

Dalke to swim at UBC, not TRU ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Thompson Rivers University couldn’t compete for Megan Dalke’s services. One of the most soughtafter swimming recruits in the nation, Dalke signed on to swim with the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds on Tuesday, choosing the Vancouverbased program over the local option, the Thompson Rivers WolfPack. “It’s exciting in a lot of ways,” said Brad Dalke, Megan’s father and the head coach of the WolfPack’s varsity swimming team and the Kamloops Classic Swimming club. “From a club perspective, it’s great to see her go to UBC. As a parent, it’s great to see her going to UBC. But, we’ve got the TRU program here — it hurts from that perspective.” For Brad, the recruitment process was conflicting. On the one hand, Megan locked up an offer from a dominant program that has won Canadian Interuniversity Sport’s women’s national championship four years running. On the other hand, a swimmer who could have been a pillar for his fledgling WolfPack

program is leaving Kamloops. “She’s the kind of kid you can build a program around,” he said. “To get her to move and make changes, they had to make her a pretty good offer.” Megan will begin her Thunderbirds career in September 2016. Along with the Wolfpack and the Thunderbirds, Megan
courted offers from the Calgary Dinos and the Victoria Vikes, as well as a few full-ride scholarships from NCAA programs south of the border. In the end, the desire to leave home and get the full university experience, along with the differences in what the programs could offer, led to her decision to swim
outside of the Tournament Capital. “I’m just really excited about swimming with them [the Thunderbirds] and training with a lot of the best swimmers in Canada and just being with a really big team that has really good team spirit — it’s like a family,” Megan told KTW. In short, the Thunderbirds can offer more. They practise at one of Canada’s national team training centres and Megan will have the opportunity to rub elbows the country’s elite swimmers. Emily Overholt, one of the best 400-metre individual medley racers in the world, will also be a part of the Thunderbirds program for 2016. As a 400m IM swimmer herself, it was just another reason for Megan to attend UBC. Though it will be weird to see her compete against him after coaching her throughout her teenage years, Brad understands Megan’s rationale in selecting UBC. TRU’s program is new and still has a lot of growing to do before being able to compete for elite-level recruits. “Instantly, she’s got a whole collection of kids around her and she’ll be swimming, trying to win a CIS title,” Brad said. “We’re a long ways from that point [at TRU].”
Confidence builder for Blazers From A15
In two games with Team WHL, Hicketts racked up two assists and Gropp had one helper. The WHL squad’s bench boss, Dave Lowry, will be Canada’s head coach at the 2016 World Junior Championship in Finland, so he was analyzing and thinking ahead to decision time in December. Odds are against Shirley, 19, making the world junior team in his last year of eligibility and Sideroff, 18, would likely have a better chance to crack the lineup
in 2017, but their performances did nothing but help their stock. Lowry was asked about Shirley’s play after his four-point game on Monday. “We always talk about injury providing opportunity,” Lowry said. “I thought he came in and played extremely well. He came in last night and really seized the opportunity.” Teams of Canadian Hockey League all-stars compete against junior Russian select players in the under-20 six-game showcase.

Rex stealing spotlight JOHN WAWROW
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — After six seasons with the Jets, Rex Ryan proved his colourful one-man show can be a hit off Broadway, too. The Buffalo Bills coach even brought props. Opening his news conference Tuesday by wearing a bright orange Clemson helmet and playfully suggesting he had nothing to talk about, Ryan then spent 18 minutes touching on a wide range of topics in preparing to face his former team tonight for the first time since he was fired in New York. The nod to Clemson was in honour of his son, Seth, a member of the nation’s top-ranked team that will be playing at Syracuse on Saturday. Ryan then proceeded to credit Jets’ quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick for being “one competitive dude,’’ while critiquing his unruly beard. “He’s not a handsome kid,’’ Ryan said. Ryan rolled his eyes, wondering why anyone would question his motives for designating defensive end IK Enemkpali a co-captain tonight after the player
was cut by the Jets in August for breaking quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw. “I’m a little shocked to be honest with you,’’ Ryan said, noting he has always selected his captains based on their ties to the opponent. “This was never a thing of disrespect.’’ And before he was done, Ryan even had time to needle Calvin Pryor after the Jets’ safety referred to his former coach in a comment posted on Twitter that read: “The guy does anything for attention.’’ “He’s right. Because what else am I going to do?’’ Ryan said, before noting Pryor played at Louisville. “He’s mad because Clemson put it on Louisville again this year.’’ It was a drop-themike moment for Ryan,
whose news conferences are regarded as must-attend events. In 11 months in Buffalo, Ryan has vowed to “build a bully,’’ he’s ribbed New England quarterback Tom Brady for bouncing a ceremonial pitch on opening day in Boston and he munched on a dog biscuit alongside owner Terry Pegula to promote the SPCA. Ryan might have saved his best material for what could be his most emotional week of the season. Just don’t ask him to let on after Ryan’s sixyear tenure in New York ended following a 4-12 finish last year. “I get it. I used to coach there and all that stuff,’’ Ryan said. “And I know you guys don’t believe me, but it has
not entered my mind.’’ And yet, Ryan acknowledged he’ll have more to say later. “I promise,’’ he said, “I will give an honest answer after the game.’’ Ryan is doing a very good job of stealing the spotlight leading up to a key midseason AFC East showdown between the Bills (4-4) and the Jets (5-3). Bills players aren’t complaining about Ryan’s tactics. “He knows exactly what he’s doing, taking the attention off the players,’’ receiver Sammy Watkins said. “I like it because he is totally different than any other coach. He has his own unique ways.’’ Not everyone is on board. Pryor said it was disrespectful of Ryan to have Enemkpali serve as a co-captain. And he questioned Ryan’s coaching decisions in New York by saying: “He could’ve played guys in the right position.’’ Fitzpatrick, by comparison, laughed off Ryan’s critique about his beard. “That’s all right,’’ Fitzpatrick said during a conference call with Buffalo-area reporters. “I’ve got five kids, so something’s working for me.’’
Lions have kicker dilemma JOSHUA CLIPPERTON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
SURREY, B.C. — The B.C. Lions have yet to decide which of their rookie kickers will get the call when they visit the Calgary Stampeders in Sunday’s CFL West Division semifinal. Lions head coach Jeff Tedford said in the wake of last weekend’s meaningless regular-season finale against the Stampeders that there would be a competition between Richie Leone, who played the first 17 games, and Anthony Fera, who suited up against Calgary. “Both of them kicked really well,’’ Tedford said in assessing Tuesday’s practice. “It will go all week long and we’ll wait until the end of the week to figure that out.’’ The fact the kicking game
is unsettled heading into the playoffs is far from ideal. Leone started 2015 a perfect 12 for 12 on field goals, but has struggled down the stretch, with a total of 11 missed converts the most glaring problem. He flubbed two of those 32-yard kicks against the Toronto Argonauts in Week 17, while also getting a punt and a field goal blocked. Fera was on the practice roster all season until getting his chance against the Stampeders on Saturday, finishing 2-of-4 on field goals, with his two failed attempts just missing the mark. He also averaged 49.5 yards on six punts — not thought to be his strong suit — the same as Leone’s average this season. But, Tedford, who cut veteran Paul McCallum in training camp because he wanted one player to handle all three phas-
es of the kicking game, said the fact Leone has more experience this season will play into who he decides to go with. “That will definitely go into consideration, a guy who’s been out there game in, game out, all season long and gone through some different scenarios in the game,’’ said the coach. Lions’ running back Andrew Harris said the team has confidence in both Leone and Fera with the knowledge that kicking could be crucial in Sunday’s playoff game in chilly Calgary. “Whoever’s going to be in there just really needs to step up. They’re both capable guys,’’ said Harris. “I just think it’s a matter confidence and just getting into a rhythm. I don’t know who’s going to get the nod or where it’s going to go, but either way, they’ve got to figure it out.’’

Langar concept leaves temple for community From A1
Guru Nanak Meals are practised at the two Sikh temples in Kamloops, but Gill wanted to reach those who aren’t open to the religion. “We thought, why not bring that concept of the langar here to the New Life Mission and serve meals here?” he said, noting his group is not pushing Sikhism. When KTW visited the mission at 181 Victoria St. W., Gill’s mother was frying up naan on a large stovetop — more than 100 pieces of the bread for the lunch service — while his wife and brother handed out plates of basmati rice, potato pea curry soup and lentil soup, called dal. “We didn’t make it too spicy,” said Nisha Gill, Pav’s wife. During the two seatings —11:30 a.m. for mission staff Guru Nanak Meals organizer Pav Gill: “We serve the food, make sure everybody’s fed, then whatever. If there’s food left, we sit down together. That’s the whole idea. There’s no difference between anyone.” DAVE EAGLES/KTW
and residents and noon for the public — up to 70 people ate. “It all depends on how close we are to cheque-issue day,” said Mary Shaw, who has been a cook at the mission for two years. The mission has a regular volunteer base of people like the Gills who give their time to the daily meal service. Religious groups commonly contribute, but Shaw said volunteers come from throughout the community. “We get some from TRU, the Open Door program and off the street,” Shaw said. “Kamloops is such a giving town. It really is.” Pasta, rice, soups and salads are often served, Shaw said, and curry is something different. “Oh, that’s what it is,” one man said. “I thought it was cayenne or something.” In the lunch room, there are mixed responses to the food. “The price is right.” “It’s blah.” “Good. Can I get you some?” “I can’t complain.” Mike Bayntun, 58, told KTW he enjoys the variety.
“It’s all good,” he said. “Even if it’s just a plain meal, it’s still good because it’s hot.” For Bayntun, a trip to the mission is for more than the flavours of the day. Having moved into a home about three weeks ago with help from ASK Wellness, he had been living on the streets for four months prior. “This is a refuge,” Bayntun said. Back in the kitchen, Pav’s mother, Kumlinder Gill, is pleased her kids took the initiative to volunteer. “I want the next generation to learn how to give,” she said. “Sometimes the new generation wants to take, take, take, take.” The Gills are already preparing their next food service on Nov. 25 to celebrate Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s birthday, but took time to eat together after service at the Mission. “We serve the food, make sure everybody’s fed, then whatever, if there’s food left, we sit down together,” Gill said. “That’s the whole idea. There’s no difference between anyone.”

Trump not a fan of quotas
Olympian may have entered Washington
ALEXANDER PANETTA
THE CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — Critics of Justin Trudeau’s guarantee of a gender-equal cabinet have found a famous ally south of the border: Donald Trump. The billionaire politician was asked yesterday in an interview about imitating the new Canadian prime minister’s half-male, half-female cabinet — and he said no. An MSNBC interviewer brought up Trudeau’s stated rationale for the move — “because it’s 2015’’ — and she asked the Republican nomination contender whether he’d follow suit. Trump replied that he has “many, many” women working for his companies, perhaps even more than 50 per cent. But, he added, he would make cabinet appointments based exclusively on merit, not quotas. “I’m not one that has to make a pledge,’’ Trump replied to the question from Mika Brzezinski. “I wouldn’t want that. Because I will tell you, I want the best person at each position . . . I’m going to get the best people for the job.’’ Trump mentioned, for example, billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who has endorsed Trump and is apparently already lined up for a cabinet spot should the real-estate-selling reality-TV star win the White House. Trump has taken a few positions on other issues relevant to Canada in recent months. He has dismissed the idea of a border wall with Canada, despite enthusiastically proposing one with Mexico. He opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact because he said it’s a bad deal for the United States. And he supports the Keystone XL pipeline. Trump has mused about possibly requesting better terms from TransCanada Corp., but he is emphatically in favour of building the stalled pipeline.

VICTORIA — Police in Washington state are almost certain a missing Victoria man entered the state aboard a ferry a week ago. Deputy Chief Brian Smith of the Port Angeles Police Department said an officer who viewed video surveillance from a street camera saw a man matching Harold Backer’s description. He said the man left the Coho ferry in the middle of the day on Nov. 3. That’s the day the 52-year-old former Canadian Olympic rower was last seen, wearing a red cycling jersey and black riding pants. He was possibly riding a black road bike and carrying a black backpack. “Our officer is 85 per cent sure he’s seeing the person in question riding his bicycle and leaving the Coho ferry,’’ Smith said of Backer, who competed in the 1984, 1988 and 1992 Olympic Games. However, video surveillance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection does not show the man getting off the ferry in Port Angeles, he said. There could be various reasons for that, including that other people were in the way of the camera, Smith said. The Victoria Police Department issued a statement saying Backer told his family that he was going for a bike ride but failed to return home. The Canadian Securities Administrators lists Backer as a seller of mutual funds in British Columbia and Ontario. He is registered with a firm called Investia Financial Services as of September 2009 and agreed to be supervised. Some of Backer’s clients, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Victoria Times Colonist it looks as though they have lost a substantial amount of money due to his actions. — The Canadian Press
Canada to have smaller share of Molson Coors ROSS MAROWITS
THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Molson Coors will nearly double its size once it completes a US$12-billion purchase that secures full ownership of its U.S. beer business and gains worldwide control of the Miller brand name. Canada’s share of total Molson Coors revenue will drop to 15 per cent, from 24 per cent, while the U.S. share will grow by 20 percentage points to 64 per cent. Europe will account for 18 per cent and other markets will be three per cent. Molson Coors CEO Mark Hunter said the “game-changing’’ transaction to acquire full ownership of Miller Coors — a partnership with SAB Miller — will allow the company to invest more in its
Canadian couple dies in Mexico hotel room
brands and increase consumer choice. “This is a compelling strategic and financial opportunity that catapults Molson Coors to the next level,’’ Hunter said during a conference call. “It creates a leading North American brewer with a unique portfolio of iconic brands. “This is a rapidly evolving industry and this transaction gives us opportunity to materially strengthen our U.S. business.’’ The Molson Coors purchase of SABMiller’s 58 per cent stake in a U.S. joint venture, formed in 2008, is separate, but related to an even bigger deal that will combine the world’s two biggest brewing companies. SABMiller has agreed to a US$107-billion takeover by indus-
try leader Anheuser-Busch InBev, maker of Budweiser beers, and agreed to sell its share of Miller Coors to reduce regulatory concern that one company would control the U.S. market. Molson Coors is also buying the global rights to the Miller brand, giving the company greater access to established markets in Canada and Britain, emerging high growth markets like Panama and new countries such as Argentina. The transaction effectively reverses last year’s termination of a longstanding agreement to distribute Miller products in Canada and also gives Molson Coors full control on how to produce, market and sell those brands. Canada is part of the US$70 million in earnings and US$200 million in annual revenues
PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — A Canadian couple has reportedly died at a hotel in Mexico, where they were to attend their daughter’s wedding. Local media reports say the bodies of the man and woman, thought to be in their 60s, were found in a room at the Playacar Palace hotel in Playa del Carmen. Authorities have reportedly said the bodies showed no signs of violence.
derived from the Miller international brands. In Canada, the beer market has long been dominated by Molson Coors and AB InBev, through its ownership of Labatt, although the two beer giants have increasingly been challenged by the popularity of smaller local craft brewers. In addition to the Miller brands, the deal gives Molson Coors perpetual royalty-free U.S. licences for SABMiller import and license brands including Peroni, Pilsner Urquell, fosters and Redd’s. Much of the deal’s financial contribution is tied to US$250 million in tax benefits over 15 years and at least US$200 million in annual cost savings, although analysts expect cost savings could reach US$300 million to US$400 million.
The state attorney’s office has reportedly said an autopsy determined the man died of a heart attack, while the woman died of asphyxia by drowning sometime between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. on Monday. Media reports say the bodies were found in a Jacuzzi and the couple is believed to have been electrocuted. Authorities have not released the names of the victims.
Brittany Weissman of Edward Jones said the deal likely won’t change much for Canadian consumers. “Most of the way that that landscape changes is going to be behind the scenes in terms of cost savings,’’ she said. Molson Coors will become a stronger player to withstand further market consolidation or lead the acquisition of another brewer, she said. But, John Colley, professor at Britain’s Warwick Business School, says brewers will need to beef up to spend more on advertising to compete with the big brands. “Molson Coors may not be independent for long,’’ Colley said in a report. — with files from The Associated Press

HOW WESTERN CANADA THEATRE EVOLVED FROM A HIGH SCHOOL CLASS . . . AND THE FORMER TEACHER BEHIND IT ALL
DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
W
hen Tom Kerr started teaching at NorKam secondary in 1963, he was told to forget about any ideas of theatre classes because it was “a rough school.”
The recent immigrant from Scotland — and avowed theatrical fan, thanks to his mother’s love of vaudeville — had one reply: “We’ll see about that.” Quickly, Kerr had a half-hour radio show, Teen’s Talk, that started a buzz about the potential a theatre program presented. Soon, acting had become part of the school’s existence. There were drama festivals to take part in, competitions that would provide his young actors with feedback and awards. NorKam took the top prize in the Dominion Drama Festival for three years in a row; one year, the adjudicator said he had “never seen a group of young boys turn in such a performance,” Kerr said as he reflected on those early years. There were plenty of productions — The Sound of Music, Oliver, You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, Peter Pan, Teahouse of the August Moon, The Wizard of Oz — and soon, Kerr said, “in my mind, I was building this company” that became Western Canada Theatre. It celebrates its 40th year with its founder once again living in Kamloops, having moved back earlier this year from Penticton. His is a story of a young teacher who found himself moving quickly in the theatrical world, spending weekdays teaching and then hopping a plane on the weekend to head off to England and work with the likes of Tyrone Guthrie, a British director who was instrumental in the creation of the Stratford Festival in Ontario. “It was a busy time,” Kerr said with a laugh about the many times the two of them worked together. Back in Kamloops, by 1965 Kerr had created Western Canada Youth Theatre, the precursor to WCT, which formally came into being in 1975. Kerr was artistic director, Paddy Malcolm Enbglish was associate artistic director and Eric Schneider was assistant director. Keith Dinicol handled the business side, Mark Gulliford was house manager, with Nancy Rogers assisting him, and publicity fell to Lynn Guile and Lanni McInnes — a woman who would later take to the stage herself for many years in Kamloops. Early productions included The Boy Friend, Jump, The Fantasticks, Robin Hood and the Lion That Roared, Renegades and others. Many Kamloopsians went on from WCT to fame abroad, including Ian Weir, who wrote a one-act play for Kerr while a student and was nominated for and won many awards for his work, including several Geminis. Gabrielle Rose started to win best-actress awards at festivals while in her senior year at school and eventually headed to England to study there. She has also been nominated for best actress in Canadian films, winning two Jessie Awards in that category. Dinicol headed off to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, where he worked for 30 years. DAVE EAGLES/KTW Tom Kerr grew a fledgling high-school drama class into the professional stage company that is Western Canada Theatre.

Kerr has enjoyed long, varied career in arts From page B1
Rick Fox, a Grade 11 student and pianist when he met Kerr, also headed to Stratford as musical director and, most recently, has been kept busy as musical director on Broadway. (Kerr said he called Fox earlier this year, just to chat, and was told, “Tom, I’m in the orchestra pit for the opening of Doctor Zhivago, I’ll talk to you later.”) Blair Fairman moved into radio after his time with the youth theatre, and then did summer stock in Vancouver, appeared in a movie, headed to England and developed a career there in A G R E AT G O L F I N G E X P E R I E N C E AT A N A F F O R DA B L E P R I C E.
film, TV and on stage. He’s been instrumental in the careers of other actors. For example, visiting a fellow theatre teacher in Saskatoon, he sat in on a rehearsal of a play and pointed out one actor in particular he thought had talent worth developing. In 1991, that young man who had picked drama as an elective was making movies and, eventually, Kim Coates went on to star on Broadway in films and on TV. There was also a young actor working with John Neville, another director with whom Kerr Collaborated on productions. Kerr remembers Kevin Spacey as “a

nice boy with talent.” Through the years, Kerr was head of the drama department at the University of Saskatchewan and artistic director at Persephone and Neptune theatres, as well as head of the Stratford Festival’s young company. In 2011, WCT presented him with a plaque commemorating his work in creating the first professional B.C. theatre outside the Lower Mainland. It’s been a busy career, Kerr said, one with many highlights, moments he never dreamed he’d ever experience. But, he said, “my pride will always be with Western Canada Theatre.”

ARTISTS IN POVERTY
I
’ve never had writers block before. In all of the 15 years that I have been writing a column the words have always come, until now. Maybe it’s because one of my artist friends, Wayne King, from the Kootenays has recently died of poverty. He joins a long list of visual artists I have known that have had their lives cut short by extreme poverty and/or suicide triggered by overwhelming despair and WAYNE depression. KING An investigation by the Hamilton Spectator shows that there is a 21-year gap in life expectancy between that city’s richest and poorest neighbourhoods. I think that number feels about right for all of our Canadian cities. We know that poverty kills, but most people refuse to see it here. It’s something that happens elsewhere. When a nation is trained to covet money and fear terrorists, they no longer see the abuse that is happening within our own communities. We know that art

matters. It is everywhere around us. But, somehow, the artists still starve. Another friend and peer, D-Dan died of tooth decay a few years back. He was too poor to see a dentist. He knew he was sick from the poisons in his mouth but he was never able to receive any medical attention until they discovered the cancer that filled his body and brain from his abscessed teeth during an emergency room visit. I heard that the City of Nelson gave him a plaque on his death bed for all the beautiful murals that he painted all over the city which they never paid him one penny for. Canadian artists are living at poverty levels. They actually make
less than individuals that receive social assistance or disability benefits. Artists rarely have access to drug, dental and eye care coverage, or disability insurance. Artists often don’t have a retirement pension or plan or EI benefits. Some financial institutions do not even recognise an artist as a career choice. When we got our first mortgage, the bank with which we were dealing did not recognize my occupation as an artist and put me down in our legal documents as a homemaker. Despite being some of the poorest and most vulnerable members of our community, artists are often the first to be hit up to offer their work for free for charity. The work of artists is appreciated, but often very poorly paid. Compared with the overall labour force, the difference in earnings is highest for the most highly educated artists. Why are the artists so poor? Writer and blogger Darrah Teitel states, “It’s a bit of a mystery why Canadian artists don’t see themselves as exploited proletariat. They live below the poverty line.

Friday, November 20th, 7:30pm ~ Calvary Community Church These are a few of the murals painted by now deceased artist D Dan. The City of Nelson and its heritage committee did nothing but harass and hassle D-Dan about the murals while they were being created. Despite this, the artist’s vision prevailed and the artwork became Nelsons Iconic murals. The city of Nelson never donated a penny to their creation. D-Dan died living in poverty.
work contributes hugely to the economy, and even more so to society, and they see almost nothing of that profit. Most of them have no housing security. Some have no food security. They feel they can’t afford to have children. Yet, they don’t cultivate a tangible sense of solidarity with each other or with the millions of other Canadians who are also working poor. Movements are built through that kind of solidarity. I think most people actually like artists and their art. They just don’t feel like it’s worth their money, that’s for someone else to worry about, after all there is always lots of noise out there about more funding for the arts. In 2014, the Canadian government dropped 180 million
dollars into the arts. You would think that would help, but it didn’t. The funding was eaten up by cultural workers, administration, committees, special interest groups, organizations and all of their individual administration and budgetary costs. Very little of it trickles down to the artists. In my total professional career as an artist, over the span of 25 years I have received $7,180 in various art grants. That’s an annual income of $287.20 and, to be honest, I have done a lot better than most artists in grant applications. Fortunately, it is not all gloom and doom. There are, of course, good charities out there, like Kamloops Timeraiser, that actually pay artists a fair market value for the
work they have done. Basically, Timeraiser is part volunteer and part silent art auction. Throughout the evening, guests meet with different agencies and match their skills to the charitable needs. Once the matches have been made, the buyers are eligible to bid on artwork. The big twist is rather than bid money, they bid their time. The system works and helps everyone. We also know there are wonderful individuals that care about art and artists so much that they spend their time and money in patronage proving it. Artists love their patrons because they understand and get it. I know this — I married mine. I think if we all stood together as a community and said,
“Hey, any government, business, cultural organization or other agency or institution that hires the service of artists must pay the fees recommended by national artist associations — no more stealing from the poor,” that might help. I also think that governments need to understand where their funding is going and to honestly track what good it does for the individual artist. When we spend our money (through taxes, like it or not) on a national level in such huge amounts, I think it would be a good idea to distribute it carefully and with thoughtfulness and humanity, for our present and future well-being and our cultural prosperity.

Don’t touch that button!
O
h, the nuclear deterrent. “When people say they’re never going to use the [nuclear] deterrent,” said General Sir Nicholas Houghton, “I say you use the deterrent every second of every minute of every day. “The purpose of the deterrent is you don’t have to use it because you effectively deter.” You sort of know what he meant to say, although his syntax needs some work. But, the general’s incoherence is forgiveable, because it is grounded in the greater incoherence of the strategy he is trying to defend: The notion of an independent British nuclear deterrent. As Britain’s most senior serving military officer, Houghton went on the BBC last weekend to denounce the leader of the opposition, Labour’s new leader Jeremy Corbyn. Why? Because Corbyn had said he would never press the nuclear button in the (rather remote) contingency that he becomes prime minister after the 2020 election. Indeed, Corbyn has said that he would like to get rid of Britain’s nuclear weapons entirely. “There are five declared nuclear weapon states in the world,” he told the BBC a month ago. “Three others have nuclear weapons. That is eight countries out of 192; one hundred and eighty-seven countries do not feel the need to have nuclear weapons to protect their security. “Why should those five need them to protect their security?”
GWYNN DYER
World
WATCH Now, there are a few errors and omissions in that statement. 192 minus eight is 184. The five “declared” countries — the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China — were already nuclear weapons powers before the Non-Proliferation Treaty was signed in 1968, and their bombs were “grandfathered” by the treaty. They promised to get rid of them eventually, but half a century later “eventually” has still not arrived. The four (not three) other nuclear weapons countries, India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel, never signed the NPT because they all had powerful enemies. Just like the original five, they were all thinking in terms of sheer survival when they developed their first nuclear weapons. But, what Corbyn failed to mention (to the great disadvantage of his argument) was that six other countries either had nuclear weapons or were on the brink of getting them — but then turned around and walked away from them. Brazil and Argentina frightened each other into a race to develop nuclear weapons under the ultra-nationalist military regimes of the 1970s and 1980s, but
they didn’t really pose a threat to each other and the programmes were ditched by civilian governments in the 1990s. Both countries signed the NPT just before the century ended. After the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, the former Soviet republics of Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan all wound up with ex-Soviet nuclear weapons on their soil. But, they had no real enemies, so they all agreed to destroy them or give them back to Russia, the legal successor to the Soviet Union. And South Africa developed nuclear weapons in the dying days of apartheid, fearing that Cuban and Russian military help to the “front-line states” of Africa might grow into an all-out military assault on the white-ruled state. After white minority rule ended peacefully in 1994, the new government led by Nelson Mandela quietly dismantled the six South African bombs. Nobody developed nuclear weapons just to feel more powerful: they were all driven by fear of attack. And, when that fear vanished, as it did for some countries, they promptly got out of the nuclear weapons business again. Logically, both Britain and France should now belong the latter group. They both built their bombs just after the Second World War because they feared an overwhelmingly powerful conventional conventional attack on Western Europe by the Soviet Union, and didn’t trust the United States to use its own

nuclear weapons to save them. After the Soviet Union fell, they faced no threat that was even remotely comparable. They still don’t today. Yet, they cling to their irrelevant nuclear weapons, presumably because they think that is what guarantees them a seat at the high table. Maybe it does, but it is a very expensive way to keep a seat of such dubious value. The military forces that Britain actually uses from time to time are being hollowed out to maintain this ludicrous deterrent (which depends on missiles leased from the United States). It wouldn’t transform the world if Britain got rid of its nukes, but it would be a down-payment on what all the declared nuclear powers said they would do when they signed the NPT. French nuclear disarmament would also be a good idea. Like people who live on the slopes of a volcano that hasn’t erupted in seventy years, we have mostly forgotten the appalling danger that still looms over us. The Cold War ended 30 years ago but the weapons are still there, waiting for some fool or madman to pull the trigger. I know what you’re thinking: Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, and now it has a real enemy in Russia. So, tell me: Would you feel safer if Ukraine had nuclear weapons too? Would Ukrainians? No. The stakes would be a hundred times higher, and we would have been living in a terrifying nightmare for the past two years.

Manitoba insurer says drivers are more likely than ever to opt for grey or black cars THE CANADIAN PRESS
WINNIPEG — Are Canadian drivers getting boring in selecting the colours of their vehicles? That’s what figures from Manitoba Public Insurance suggest, as motorists in that province have opted for shades of grey instead of bright and flashy when it comes to the colour of their vehicles. The Crown insurer said more than 180,000 drivers are currently behind the wheel of a registered vehicle that sports some variation of grey. Black is a distant second, followed by white, red and blue. The insurer said blue ruled the blacktop in 1996, followed closely by red, but times and tastes changed. Five years later, grey-silver cars topped the popularity list — a trend that has yet to hit the brakes. Drivers of light trucks have a taken a different turn, however, as white is currently the most popular colour, followed by grey. Figures from other provinces were not available.

Self-driving cars will push us to rethink how we build cities, planners say DAVID FRIEND
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Fewer parking lots sprawling the length of football fields, more green space and a reshaped vision of public transit. Those are just a few of the ways driverless cars could lay the groundwork for widespread changes in how cities are designed, according to a group of Canadian architects and urban planners. “There’s going to be a lot of land that’s freed up,’’ suggested Gianpiero Pugliese, principal architect at Audax Architecture, which designs commercial and residential buildings. “As a community, we will have the opportunity to decide how that’s used.’’ Driverless City, a panel discussion held last week by the Urban Land Institute of Toronto, offered a rare opportunity for architects involved in projects across the country to debate how the fast-evolving technology will impact cities and their surrounding suburbs. By far, the biggest focus was on how parking lots and massive garages could start to vanish. While self-driving vehicles are still in testing stages, there are prototypes from automakers and technology companies already on public roads. It’s widely expected that within 10 years driverless cars — or autonomous vehicles as they’re known in the industry — will be

making their way to the average consumer. But in a driverless world, people wouldn’t necessarily have to stick to old parking habits, the designers suggested.
Instead of parking at the office, they could be summoned from a more distant, but centralized parking centre. Pushing thousands of vehicles away from underground
parking at office buildings could alter the dynamics of modern construction, said Antonio Gomez-Palacio, principal of planning and urban design at Dialog, which has designed a number of cultural and government buildings across the country. See MASS TRANSIT, B13

DRIVE WAY BEST DEALS ON
Mass transit will likely still be needed in a world without drivers “We can start to think of very different ways of doing things and it’s going to hugely affect the design process.’’ But some of those possibilities also pose major challenges that could squeeze current infrastructure to its breaking point, particularly during rush hour at offices where all of the employees are beckoning their driverless cars, creating a new form of gridlock. “All of a sudden, every
office building at 5 o’clock is going to look like a school zone,’’ Gomez-Palacio said. Driverless cars will also have a ripple effect on public transportation, he predicted, as more people turn to auto share services in suburban areas where buses have small passenger loads. “My sense is that public transit agencies are going to start pulling back from suburban and sprawling environments and focusing on mass transit.

DesRosiers said Canadians bought 163,053 light vehicles in October, a 5.1 per cent increase over last year’s previous all-time high for the month set in 2014. Last month was a particularly satisfying one for luxury nameplates, with Land Rover up 71.9 per cent, Porsche rising 45.4 per cent and Lexus up 29.4 per cent. DesRosiers said other brands that enjoyed double-digit sales growth in October included Nissan (up 24.4 per cent), Infiniti (up 22.8 per cent), Honda (up 14.7 per cent), Volvo (up 12.3 per cent) and Subaru (up 11.7 per cent). Even Volkswagen’s recent woes over its diesel offerings didn’t appear to impact overall sales, as the German automaker posted an 8.3 per cent gain to 5,715 vehicles sold. GM took the sales title for October for the first time since April, with a 5.8 per cent increase.

“You’re still going to need the subways and rapid transit,’’ he said. Whether fewer cars end up on the roads is still up for debate.

Spice up the cold weather with borscht When the weather outside takes a turn for the cold, many people look to soup to warm them up. Some assume a cold soup can’t provide a kick. However, a peppery soup, like the following recipe for Chilled Beet Borscht from Leslie Jonath and Frankie Frankeny’s Soup’s On, can also provide some spice on a cold winter’s day.
Chilled Beet Borscht Serves 6 to 8 • 8 pounds red beets • 3 long European seedless cucumbers or 13/4 pounds green cucumbers, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, and seeded with a teaspoon • 3 yellow onions, cut into rough 11/2-inch dice • 4 cups sour cream, plus more for garnish • 2 cups Dijon mustard • 11/3 cups balsamic vinegar • 6 tablespoons sugar • Fresh sprigs dill, for garnish
Directions
Wash the beets well using a vegetable brush to remove any caked-on mud, dirt and sand. Remove the stems and greens and reserve for another use. Place the beets in a large pot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so they are still boiling, but not raucously. Cook until tender. A skewer inserted in the center of each beet yields little resistance, keeping in mind that different-size beets cook at different times and also that, once removed from the water, the beets will continue to cook with their residual heat; overcooking diminishes flavor and colour. Drain the beets in a colander. When they are cool enough to handle, peel
Chilled Beet Borscht provides a nice spice when the weather outside takes a turn for the cold.
them completely. The skins should slip off easily. If you are concerned about staining your fingers, wear a pair of latex gloves. Cut the beets into a
large, rough dice. If you are concerned about staining your cutting board, cut the beets carefully in your gloved hand. In a large, nonreactive bowl (glass, stainless steel
or ceramic), combine the beets, cucumbers, onions, sour cream, mustard, vinegar and sugar and mix well. This will look like a wet, purplish, chunky mystery
salad at a bad pot-luck supper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate a full 24 hours. Place the mixture in the bowl of a food processor with the metal blade
attachment and pulse until the soup is the consistency of coarse, wet sand. Serve well chilled, garnished with an additional spoonful of sour cream and a sprig of dill.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: KMC-FACILITIES- IVMP-2015 Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9. Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509). 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 facilities. Facilities include pump stations, valve stations, terminals, tank farms and office/maintenance facilities. All facilities are fenced, secure compounds not accessible to the general public. The facilities are located in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Darfield, McLure, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Burnaby and Richmond.
The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, girdling, geotextile fabric, 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. 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), diuron (Diurex 80 WDG), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), imazapyr (Arsenal), indaziflam (Esplanade SC), 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 at: http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_facilities_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Applicant 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 within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
