Preliminary tax hike sits at $48 By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
On this date seven years ago, Henry Vandenberghe left his home to catch a morning bus to work. Between his house and the bus stop, he was attacked. The 61-year-old’s severely beaten body was found near the intersection of Mackenzie Avenue and King Street. He died a day later in hospital. Vandenberghe’s murder remains unsolved.
STORY, PAGE A10
After a 2013 budget that many on Kamloops city council described as one of the toughest they’ve faced, early talks on the 2014 tax rate have a more upbeat feel. Headed into the budget process, the average homeowner in the city is looking at a $48 increase come tax time. Of that, $35 comes from a forecasted 1.99 per cent property-tax hike. The rest will come from a five per cent increase in sewer fees, which are rising to help cover the cost of the city’s new sewagetreatment plant, which goes online next year. Water and garbage rates are staying static for the year. “If we think back a year ago, we were all concerned about this year’s budget in terms of moving forward,” Mayor Peter Milobar said. “There were some pretty serious issues hitting us.” The city is facing decreased revenue from its investments and slower than expected growth headed into 2014. It is also expecting to loose some tax revenue due to appeals to B.C. Assessment by some of Kamloops’ larger taxpayers. But, Milobar said some of the city’s costs aren’t coming in as high as council had feared, including the budget increase for the Kamloops RCMP. “I think we’re starting to see some benefits of the new contract in terms of them starting to look at things a little differently in how they budget things and we’ve seen some of those costs get a little better under control,” Milobar said. “I think across the board we’re

There’s New Gold in that thar annexation How much difference could New Gold’s New Afton mine make to Kamloops’ balance sheet? Milobar suggests it’s a hefty sum. During council’s budget discussions, the mayor said preliminary calculations suggest that, if the city can extend its boundaries west to bring the mine into city limits, it would dramatically bring down the tax rate for other major industries in the city. Class-four ratepayers pay close to $80 per $1,000 of assessed value in taxes. With the addition of New Afton and no other changes, Milobar said the rate would decrease to about $52 per $1,000. The city is lobbying the province to approve the boundary change, though it’s not clear how soon a decision will be made.

starting to see that happen. “I know that transit’s trying to tighten up their numbers. “I think everyone’s starting to realize that all these different pots are running out of wriggle room.” There is, however, still plenty of time for the tax-hike number to shift before the city finalizes it in April. The current number doesn’t factor in supplementary requests from various departments, which can include waterparks, extra streetlights and other community concerns. Nor does it take into account any surplus the city may have. There’s also the issue of classfour ratepayers — heavy industrial operations like Domtar — who want to see the city cut their taxes by about half during the next two years, which could leave residential or other types of properties paying more.

Veterinarian Jennifer Jackson and staff at the Kamloops Large Animal Clinic are busy nursing starving horses back to health. A fundraiser will be held this weekend at Purity Feed. Dave Eagles/KTW
Adoption offers pour in for starving horses By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Two weeks after his arrival at the Kamloops Large Animal Clinic, Sid’s condition is starting to improve. When veterinarian Jennifer Jackson pulls back his blanket, the horse’s ribs are still somewhat visible. But, compared to the three animals sharing space with him in the clinic’s back room, Sid has come a long way. “It’s slow, but things are starting to fill out a bit,” Jackson said. “You could see all the vertebrae in his neck, but now you can’t.” Besides Sid, the clinic is housing three other horses taken by the BC SPCA in a separate
seizure, one of four that occurred in the Kamloops area this month. All told, the SPCA has seized 11 horses in the area this month due to malnutrition, neglect or substandard living conditions. Jackson said she doesn’t know the full story on why the animals were seized, and the SPCA did not return calls for comment before KTW’s press time, but, for the horses to become this emaciated, they must have been starving for months. “If you’re completely withheld from feed for, say five days, you have nothing to eat at all for five to 10 days, you will die,” Jackson said. “But, if you have just enough to keep you going a little bit, then it takes 90 days to go from a regular-shaped horse to this.” On the a scale of one to nine, which veterinarians use to clas-
sify equine body types, all four horses are at one — extremely emaciated. Jackson points to the shoulders and hips of one of the more recently seized horses, who arrived at her clinic on Thursday, Nov. 21, where every bone is visible under the hide. “Her ribs are just like a xylophone,” she said. On Tuesday, Nov. 26, the horse — which clinic staff named Lisa — was unable to stand on her own, due to complications arising as the horses are reintroduced to feed. By Wednesday, Nov. 27, she was back on her feet, but still hooked up to an IV. Jackson said all four cases are about as bad as starvation can get before it becomes fatal (as it was for one of the other horses seized, which didn’t make it
back to Kamloops). “Somewhere along the way, nobody did anything,” Jackson said. Jackson said it’s unusual for the clinic to see more than one or two malnutrition cases a year — and those usually come later in winter and involve old or wild horses. She thinks this year’s sudden onset of winter, combined with a dry fall that depleted grasses, may somewhat explain the increase in cases. “Do you remember it was just like winter one day? I think people just didn’t deal with stuff,” she said, adding she suspects there are more horses in similar conditions in the area. All four animals at the clinic should make a full recovery, but Jackson said it will take about six months.
Staff haven’t decided if they will house the animals for the full time or move them offsite. Nor have they decided where the horses will go once they’ve recovered, though Jackson said she’s been inundated with offers to help or adopt the animals. Purity Feed will host a fundraiser for the rescue animals at its garden centre at 471 Okanagan Way on Saturday, Nov. 30, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. A percentage of all sales will go to the Kamloops SPCA’s cruelty-investigations department and donations of cash, blankets, brushes, lead ropes and feed tub are being accepted. Jackson will also lead a session on body-condition scoring to show people what a healthy horse should look like. To register for the fundraiser, call 250-372-2233.

New election rules won’t affect 2014 city vote Provincial government still working on legislation to govern spending and advertising By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Rule changes for city elections won’t arrive until next spring, but veterans of Kamloops’ civic votes say they don’t think the reforms will upset the local democratic process. With municipal electoral campaigns now about one year away, the B.C. NDP is criticizing the B.C. Liberals for failing to get local-government reforms passed. The rule changes, which will ban anonymous contributions and require thirdparty advertisers to register as such, are set to be introduced to the legislature in the spring of 2014. Major changes, such as setting campaign spending limits and potentially moving the elections from November to October, are being pushed off
until after the upcoming campaign. The NDP contends reforms are moving too slowly and argue the Liberals should have had a fall session in part to deal with the issue. “Civic leaders are already gearing up for their campaigns,” said local-government critic Selina Robinson in a release. “It’s unfair to those people seeking election.” Mayor Peter Milobar said he doubts the changes will have much impact on Kamloops candidates. “For elections the size of Kamloops, in terms of the amount of dollars and things like that, and amount of money that gets donated, it’s probably not earth-shattering,” he said. On the administrative side, city corporate officer Cindy Kennedy said the

changes won’t be a problem to implement that close to the Nov. 15 election. “We have a headsup of what they’re contemplating so no, no problem at all,” she said. “I would welcome some of these changes — I would welcome all the changes.”
Kennedy said she’s happy to see Elections BC taking over campaign-finance issues, and said the city has found it challenging in the past when candidates ask for guidance about how to disclose their spending. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry
Lake, who also served as mayor and a city councillor, said he also thinks the changes won’t make waves here. “There’s adequate time for people to plan around that,” he said. “In a bigger city with bigger campaigns that may not
be the case. But, in a city our size, I don’t think it’ll have an impact.” Lake said he doesn’t think it made sense for the government to sit this fall, because it is still drafting legislation that will fulfill its campaign promises. “You can’t really
implement legislation that reflects the platform commitments you’ve made without doing some work ahead of times,” he said. “No sense sitting in the house if you don’t have legislation that is all ready to be debated and brought forward.”

Minister’s research snub challenged
MARKET ON YOUR SHOPPING LIST THIS YEAR...
Amrik Virk says TRU will not be research school, angering university faculty By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
For Ulli Scheck, one of the administrators who oversee research at Thompson Rivers University, the face of research has changed through the years. No longer is it the scientist hidden away in his lab, coming out only to send his paper to a peer-reviewed journal and then hiding away again — never engaging students, other professors or the community at large. “Curiosity-driven research is still the heart and soul of what goes on at a university,” said TRU’s vice-presidentacademic, “and is an extraordinary gift working at a university allows.” However, while Amrik Virk, the minister of advanced education, acknowledges research as part of university work, he said TRU is not and will not be considered a research institution. That statement, made by the former RCMP officer while on campus during a photo-op for a trades program, has led to some strong reaction
from TRU faculty. A dozen members have sent a letter to the media and to the university’s board of governors, challenging Virk’s assertion. Virk said the simple reality is TRU was not created to be a research institution, noting legislation that led to the switch from universitycollege to full university designates TRU as teaching-intensive. It all comes down to funding, Virk acknowledged. Institutions like UBC or UNBC receive more funding because they are designated as research institutions, a fact that means some faculty will not teach, but spend all their time on research. These universities are viewed as places where centres of excellence will be created, where research will be done to benefit all of B.C. — and perhaps even the world. “To replicate that work across the province would not be wise,” Virk said. This does not mean TRU has no research role to play, Virk said. “It’s important to understand that TRU is
teacher-intensive and that’s their mandate.” Virk said one area of research he sees as essential for TRU is in trades and technology. He visited the campus on Nov. 19, when he made the research statement, to speak on a pilot program for truck
mentary disciplines like science into the trades and technology area. Shifting from the university-college model to full university brought with it some challenges, said Will Garrett-Petts, TRU’s associate vicepresident for research and graduate studies —
and transport-mechanic apprentices that has been created in response to industry requirements. “That is their role,” he said of the focus, “that, and to prepare students for the workforce.” Scheck said trades and technology research is an area TRU is focusing on because it provides “a huge area of opportunity” not only to serve industry, but to bring together comple-
and research is one of them. “Teaching, research, that’s why you want to be an educator,” he said. “That is what defines a university.” He said there has been a challenge for some faculty, “excellent teachers who did not do research” before TRU was created, but it is expected all faculty will do some research. How that fits into
disciplines beyond the traditional academic core requires a bit of a shift in definition to “creation of new knowledge,” he said, be it a trades program creating a new device or way to use a device to a theatre-arts program presenting a new work. Garrett-Petts said a key to research at TRU is to look at real-life issues. “That is the strength at TRU we will continue developing. Research that can really help the issues we face in B.C. and in the Interior of B.C.” Virk said legislation is required to guide spending at postsecondary levels and that he knows there is much research happening at TRU. When asked how the university should fund it, since it is outside the “research institution” legislation guideline, the minister said universities are always creative in finding partners, endowments and gifts of giving. For scientists like Lachlan Fraser, however, one of 12 to sign the letter to the board of governors, it all comes down
to money — and what he sees as an inequity SEE OUR between students in the Interior and those on the AD IN Lower Mainland. TUESDAY’S With the bulk of the PAPER FOR SOME funding going to univerSERIOUS sities there, he said, “a lot of the research done is centred around Lower Mainland issues.” The point is made in the letter: “We think that NAME BRAND GIFTS... Victoria would want to LO-BOY PRICES... support TRU’s research because, for a significant AND WE PAY THE TAX!! part, our research serves our local community; including grasslands sustainability, ecosystem reclamation, the social dynamics of small cities, watershed management and respiratory therapy, to name a few. “TRU does not seek to be the research power that is UBC, but to suggest that TRU is not, nor ever will be, a ‘research 459 TRANQUILLE RD institution’ diminishes MON to SAT 10-5 our accomplishments loboymarket.com and limits our potential to our students and our community.” FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice

The one jail cell I will always willingly enter with pleasure
H
ANDCUFFS AREN’T comfortable. Even put on loosely — thank you, Cpl. Cheryl Bush — they’re just not the kind of accessory I would normally be wearing in the office. And jail cells aren’t very nice, either, even the one set up in the Tournament Capital Centre. The food was OK, with sandwiches and wraps provided by Fratelli’s downtown. There were even egg rolls — cold egg rolls — fellow inmate Kent Wong accepted, even though he noted it was racial profiling. In the end, however, my stay behind bars had to end. As Wong made bail and was being released, I admit I to pushing him aside and sprinting as fast as these arthritic knees could go to try to get away from all those folks who put on this year’s Jail and Bail fundraiser for the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo. However, Bard Mueller, the new top cop in town, having spent a lot of time on the Prairies, came prepared with chaps and a lasso and caught me out in the parking lot, dragging me back in to see Judge Tony Ryan. He needed lots of other officers to help him as I put up a grumpy-reporterworthy fight (the photo of which can be seen on page A25). How can you not love an event like that? Before lunch — I timed my escape to happen after food arrived — the goal of $40,000 had been met and topped for this year’s campaign, one that the United Way people hope brings in another $2 million to help out other Kamloopsians who need a hand up. When I was a kid, my father was dead-set against the United Way in our
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL hometown. A staunch — some might say rabid — trade unionist, he believed everyone deserved a proper working wage, that the government should support families, that mothers belonged at home looking after their children (this was back in the 1950s) and that any other reality was simply wrong. I wonder sometimes what he would say now about the fact that, in the 21st century, we still need to help others through organizations like the United Way and the Kamloops Food Bank, two of many in the city, but the two I continue to support locally on a personal basis. I like the Jail and Bail the local RCMP officers started in 2011 and am delighted Mueller agreed to bring it back for this United Way campaign. It’s fun, it brings together interesting people and it’s not another fundraising gala dinner or golf tournament. You can do what some have each year and show up with your set bail already collected, spend a bit of time behind bars and tell Ryan to let you out. You can do what many have done for the past three events — throw on an orange jumpsuit or the black-and-white prison stripes, maybe toss a ball and
chain around your leg and play it up. Or, you can spend your time checking out the seams and welds of the cell, only to notice there is no lock on the door and, when the food shows up, everyone gets busy and the guards — including suitably clad “Orange is the New Black” United Way staffers — aren’t paying attention. I hope the officers do the event again next year, but that’s just a selfish wish. It may be time to change things up, as Bush said, and find something else that is new, fun, involves lots of Kamloopsians and adds a stack of dough to United Way campaign coffers. With this event done, I’ll be focusing on all the things the food bank will be doing. I am really looking forward to finding the time to pop into its renovated, expanded and downright wonderful building on Wilson Avenue. The folks there have a lot of events coming up from now to Christmas that Kamloops always supports. There was a Thompson Rivers University student in the cell with me for a while, a young woman who is studying social work. She wants to go into that profession, she said, because she wants to help others. She noted she worries about stories she hears that people in the profession can burn out, can get overwhelmed and can, depending on the job they take, see some of the more horrific sides of life. I hope she succeeds. The world needs more people like her — and more people like the ones who keep the United Way and other social agencies in the city running. Some of us can have fun helping them, but they’re the heroes in this story — those who do the real work.
The ins and outs of the B.C. NDP’s 2013 provincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter. But, there is one good reason to at least acknowledge the exercise in self-flagellation had to be done, even if you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review. The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives and Greens, the New Democrats have the history, the base and the infrastructure, so, until something better comes along, they are the province’s best chance at keeping the B.C. Liberals honest. Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and the NDP can lick its wounds all it wants. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term. She may even have something going for her, having learned some tough lessons from her predecessor, and she’s cleaning house. True, Clark hasn’t been tested much in the legislature, but we know what to expect when she finally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything, including the Agricultural Land Reserve, the budget, the throne speech and anything else that’s thrown her way. But, one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated. A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal. When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thickskinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain, to be in fighting mode. The NDP review holds out some hope this will be the case. Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese? Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But, if it puts teeth back in the tiger keeping an eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing.

THIS WEEK
Ajax is welcome and will create job opportunities Editor: I am ticked after attending a lecture by former Kamloops mayor Mel Rothenburger, at which he stated his opposition to the proposed Ajax mine. Show me how tourism is going to put food on the table for the minimum-wage earners and unemployed people of this town. Rothenburger said he doesn’t want Kamloops to be a mining town. He might as well call for the nearest moving truck. I have been in Kamloops since the
early 1970, when Afton mine was a huge employment contributor. New Gold took over the site a few years back and now employs more than 400 people. What does Rothenburger think about all the layoffs at Domtar? I take it those men and women are to apply at the nearest tourism office, where Rothenburger can stand at the door and let them know what their new job will be. I know too many people who live in Kamloops, but work in
Alberta because of the job situation. Ajax will be a great contributor to our city and before anyone decides the mine will “pollute” Kamloops, they need to take a closer look at the Mines Act. I have read through these guidelines and, if any business signs on that dotted line and pledges to follow those guidelines, I say welcome to Kamloops and thank you for the employment opportunities. Jamie Paluck Kamloops
Time to shovel out our politicians Editor: It’s time for Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod to call it a day and for the people of Kamloops to make it so. I could write on the head of a pin what she has accomplished for Kamloops. It is past time the voting public clean house in Ottawa and Victoria. To keep these people in luxury is something the working man, the taxpayer, will never have. As KTW editor Christopher Foulds states in a recent column, one does not need experience or need to possess specific talent to become a politician. All one has to do to become a politician is to know how to fiddle expenses — and, even if they don’t know
how, other politicians will show them. The wages for fiddling are damn good — $150,000 a year, plus all the perks and a fantastic pension after only six years. All of us old-age pensioners should be MPs. I am 84 years of age. I am on an old-age pension and I have not had a raise in my pension in 24 years. We should buy government a new shovel for the B.S. as I am sure the old shovel is worn out after all the years of being used. B. Booth Kamloops

I curse them all — and myself Editor: As a result of the lack of parking at Royal Inland Hospital, it has been suggested a shuttle bus to downtown parking, running every half-hour, be implemented. As far as I am concerned, the blame for the disastrous parking situation and overcrowding at RIH lies with the Interior Health Authority and the silent majority (I was one of them) who saw this coming and did nothing about it. We let a few tree-huggers stop a development at the front of the hospital that was desperately needed. The IHA should have ignored their protests, including that of a young girl who some still think is a hero. There should have been a referendum and it would have passed easily. Had that development gone ahead years ago, it would have saved millions of dollars and all kinds of agony and frustration for thousands of people, including nurses and staff members who can’t find a parking spot. How many thousands of patients over the years were denied visitations from family and friends due to lack of access to RIH?
I hear this all the time from people who would have gone to visit a friend or loved one, but got tired of the lack of easy access. Every time I have to park downtown and climb that hill — and watch many others in worse shape than me struggling to get up to the hospital — I curse them all. Most of all, I curse myself for not starting a petition or putting up a picket line with the many others who agreed with me. We knew those few trees had to go sooner or later because of the limited room surrounding RIH. In all fairness, the silent majority never thought the IHA would go along with the tree-huggers. Even the widening of Columbia Street downtown is going to be delayed for a year or more because of our lack of action. Maybe the tree-huggers could help by raising the money to fund a shuttle to parking lots downtown — at least until the new development is completed. Al Senger Kamloops

A scotch for Henry By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The morning of Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2006, was an extraordinarily cold one in Kamloops. At 6 a.m., the mercury hovered just above the -20 C mark, but the windchill made it feel like -28 C. That was about the time Henry Vandenberghe left his Thrupp Street home in North Kamloops and walked to the bus stop at Mackenzie Avenue and Tranquille Road — like he did every morning. The longtime Western Canada Theatre employee and prominent figure in the Tournament Capital’s arts community was on his way to work, ready to catch the 7:09 a.m. No. 1 Tranquille bus. What happened next is unclear, but Vandenberghe was left in the snow, having been savagely beaten to within inches of his life. *** The phone at Western Canada Theatre rang shortly after 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2006. By that time, staffers at the theatre company were already concerned about their co-worker. Vandenberghe was always the first person to show up, arriving at 7:30 a.m. On this day, no one had seen or heard from the 61-year-old.
When a call to Vendenberghe’s house went unanswered, his co-workers began to fear the worst. The phone call shortly after 10 a.m. was from a nurse at Royal Inland Hospital — and those fears were quickly confirmed. --The next time Henry Vandenberghe’s co-workers saw their friend, he was laying in a coma in a hospital room, breathing through a machine and barely alive. He died the following day, on Nov. 29. No one has ever been arrested or charged in connection with the murder. *** It’s rare that a day goes by at Western Canada Theatre without Vandenberghe having something to do with something. The longtime WCT employee’s photo hangs on the wall and many of the day-to-day documents used by company administration and staff were originally authored by him. “His presence is here every day,” Lori Marchand, WCT’s general manager, told KTW. “We have a beautiful photograph of him by the front desk, where he spent a good portion of his years with Western Canada Theatre.” Marchand said Vandenberghe’s friends and former co-workers honour him annually.
“We do have a small, private event on Nov. 29 every year,” she said. “It’s just to remember him.” His name also lives on in the form of scholarships and bursaries for young people involved in the theatre — the bursaries to offer financial aid to students unable to pay their way into WCT’s Stage One Theatre School and the scholarships to recognize outstanding achievement by young actors. *** If police have any leads in the investigation into who killed Vandenberghe, they’re not saying. “This is still an open and active investigation,” Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said. “There’s nothing to release at this time, but it is active and ongoing.” At the time of his death, Mounties appealed to the public for tips from people who saw something suspicious on Mackenzie Avenue when Vandenberghe was attacked. Two weeks later, then-Insp. Yves Lacasse told reporters investigators were following up a solid lead. Then — nothing. Seven years later, Vandenberghe’s friends are still looking for closure. “To be honest, I think about him every day,” said Marilyn Zuke,
WCT’s associate financial manager. “He was a great friend to a good many of us and I spent time with him in the hospital before he died. “I don’t understand why they haven’t figured out who did it.” Zuke said she will once again be one of the theatre staffers taking part in the annual private remembrance ceremony marking Vandenberghe’s death. “We go out by the tree out by wardrobe and we have a little shot of scotch,” she said. “It was his drink.”

Kamloops SPCA manager Charlene Holloway (third from left) is presented with an $8,000 cheque by CBC-TV personality Kevin O’Leary, David Page of D.W. Page Wealth Management and O’Leary Funds vice-president of sales Greg McDonald. O’Leary was in Kamloops on Monday, Nov. 25, to speak to a packed house at Thompson Rivers University. All proceeds from the talk went to the SPCA. Andrea Klassen/KTW

unscripted shows. O’Leary said the program is also proving popular with an unexpected demographic — nine- to 18-year-old girls. “It’s a huge phenomenon to have this happen and I have my own guess,” O’Leary said. “Here’s what I think: What are you watching when you’re watching Dragons’ Den? You’re watching the pursuit of freedom.” Freedom, in this case, being the freedom money brings to go any-
where, buy anything, educate one’s children in whatever manner seems best — and not worry about answering the phone. “That’s the definition of freedom and even a nine-year-old girl who watches her parents toil understands that if her parents can come up with a product and get it on Dragons’ Den and have it become a hit — which doesn’t happen often, but it does happen — they’re free,” O’Leary said.

Kevin O’Leary doesn’t bother checking Twitter. Or Facebook. Not when it comes to stock performance, at least. The investor best known for his gigs on Dragons’ Den and Lang and O’Leary Exchange was in Kamloops on Monday, Nov. 25, to give a packed Thompson Rivers University Grand Hall his tips for investing. The seminar, organized by D.W. Page Wealth Management, was aimed at investors with $100,000 or more of assets within 10 years of retirement or retired investors who want to optimize the tax efficiency of their investment portfolio. It also doubled as a fundraiser for the Kamloops branch of the B.C. SPCA, raising $8,245. Among O’Leary’s advice was a tip gleaned from his mother: Never bother with stocks that won’t pay. That includes offering from big social-media companies and anyone else not offering a dividend. “The only thing I care about is cash,” he said, suggesting companies whose own-
ers know they need to pay their shareholders dividends may approach business differently than those who don’t. “I’m not saying the people who own these companies are bad people,” O’Leary said. “They’re just horrific investments.” Investors should also look for companies whose dividends are growing, rather than staying static, he said, because those companies are more likely to increase business activity as interest rates creep up, rather than being harmed by a rate change. O’Leary also repeated his three rules for building an investment portfolio: Never include more than five per cent of a single stock or bond “no matter how good the story is,” never own more than 20 per cent in one sector and have a portfolio split evenly between bonds and stocks. Besides investing tips, O’Leary took the time to speculate what has made Dragons’ Den, and its U.S. offshoot Shark Tank, so popular with viewers. The Canadian show is nine seasons in and routinely attracts 1.2-million viewers, making it one of the country’s most popular

Get ready to fish those glass jars and plastic film out of the blue bin, Kamloops. Starting next May, the city will sign on with a new curbside recycling program that changes what can be recycled. Under the new system, overseen by Multi Material B.C. (MMBC), residents will be able to toss hot and cold drink cups, aerosol containers and waxed or plasticcoated paper containers in their blue bins. But, glass bottles and jars, Styrofoam and plastic film will have to go to a recycling depot. In exchange for signing on with the recycling program — which city council originally opted out of when first approached in September — the city will get around $1.1 million from MMBC each year and save another $300,000, city environmental-services manager Jen Fretz estimates. MMBC was set up after changes to provincial recycling regulation made producers of paper products and packaging responsible for making sure their products aren’t going into landfills. Costs of the program are covered by consumers, who will pay more for products at the time of purchase. Fretz said it was unlikely Kamloopsians would be able to recycle glass in their carts much longer. Because broken glass decreases the value of the recyclables, the city’s recycling processor wanted it gone. Council agreed to make the change by a vote of seven to one (Coun. Nancy Bepple was absent). Tina Lange, the sole nay vote, argued the city should look at getting out of the recycling business altogether if MMBC could contract it out for the same cost. She suggested the city look at reducing how often it collects
garbage — moving to a 10- or 14-day schedule. “We keep hearing from taxpayers, why

The SPIRIT of CHRISTMAS Yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus We take pleasure in publishing this famous editorial that first appeared in the New York Sun in 1897. One hundred and 16 years later, the message of who Santa truly is resonates still. Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in the Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O’Hanlon 115 West Ninety-Fifth Street Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the scepticism of a sceptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence
capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were
18-1415 Hillside Drive 250.372.8744 ORDER ONLINE www.kamloopsblossoms.com
no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no
Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God he lives! And he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Among the charities that see operations ramp up during the holiday season is the Kamloops Food Bank. And, said executive director Bernadette Siracky, they try to ensure those hampers have some special treats to reflect the spirit of the season — not an easy task when you’re providing food to about 6,000 people, almost one-third of them children and youth, every year. The community steps up to help, as it always does, Siracky said. A collection of non-perishable items will be taken at the Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, Nov. 30. The arrival on Saturday, Dec. 14, of the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is another big collection event. The train will roll into Kamloops and stop right behind Interior Savings Centre at about 5:30 p.m., with Melanie Doane and Matt Dusk performing for the crowd. These are just the fundraisers the agency knows about, Siracky said. Throughout the city, students, businesses, church and service groups will also show up at the food bank at 171 Wilson St. with donations.

The SPIRITof CHRISTMAS If the kettles are out, it must be giving season What is the Christmas Kettle Campaign? The Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign is a fundraising effort that occurs each year during the Christmas season. Kettles are found in 2,000 locations across Canada and are an opportunity for the public to donate whatever funds they can to support the work of The Salvation Army during the Christmas season and throughout the year.
Where happens to the money raised? For too many Canadians, the necessities of life needed for basic human dignity are out of reach. Poverty is the root cause that puts dignity out of reach for millions of Canadians, making access to everyday needs — like food, clothing and shelter — difficult.
Funds raised through donations made at Christmas kettles, together with other sources of funds, help provide direct, compassionate, hands-on service to 1.6-million people each year in Canada, restoring hope and dignity to those who might otherwise remain invisible in society.
How difficult is it to donate online? It is extremely easy. Once you go online to fillthekettle. com, you simply follow the steps, choose which kettle location you would like to support, then make a secure donation using your credit card or PayPal.
How do people receive tax receipts for their online Kettle donation? The online system will automatically generate an official, governmentapproved e-receipt accompa-

He remembered, during his earlier days in Liverpool, England, seeing a large kettle where passengers of boats that docked nearby were able to toss coins to help the poor. McFee placed a similar pot at the Oakland Ferry Landing and encouraged the public to “Keep the Pot Boiling.” He collected enough to host a Christmas dinner for the poor. The first time a kettle was used in Canada was in St. John’s in 1906.

The Chicago-based Montgomery Ward department-store operators had been purchasing and distributing children’s colouring books as Christmas gifts for their customers for several years. In 1939, Montgomery Ward tapped one of their own employees to create a book for them, thus saving money. Thirty-four-year-old copywriter Robert L. May wrote the story of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer in 1939 and 2.4-million copies were handed out that year. Despite the wartime paper shortage, more than six-million copies had been distributed by 1946. May drew in part on the story The Ugly Duckling and in part from his own experiences as an often taunted, small,

frail youth to create the story of the misfit reindeer. Though Rollo and Reginald were considered, May settled on Rudolph as his reindeer’s name. Writing in verse as a series of rhyming couplets, May tested the story as he went along on his four-year old daughter, Barbara, who loved the story. Sadly, Mays’ wife died around the time he was creating Rudolph, leaving him deeply in debt due to medical bills. However, he was able to persuade Sewell Avery, Montgomery Ward’s corporate president, to turn the copyright over to him in January 1947, thus ensuring May’s financial security. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was printed commercially in 1947 and, in 1948, a nine-minute cartoon of the story was shown in theaters. When May’s brother-in-law, songwriter Johnny Marks, wrote the lyrics and melody for the song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the Rudolph phenomenon was born. The song sold two-million copies that year, going on to become one of the bestselling songs of all time, second only to Bing Crosby’s White Christmas. The 1964 television special about Rudolph, narrated by Burl Ives, remains a holiday favourite to this day and Rudolph himself has become a much-loved Christmas icon.

The SPIRITof CHRISTMAS
Enjoy the true spirit of the Christmas season
C
HRISTMAS HAS TO be celebrated in its true spirit and essence because this is a time for amazing celebration and enjoyment when people get together and have fun. This is one popular festival celebrated around the world. It is also associated with a lot of fun and other popular myths that make this festival so very exciting and interesting. Christmas decorations form a common part of the festival because Christmas is about displaying the best decorations and making everything look amazingly beautiful. You can buy plenty of baubles, stars, pine
trees and other amazing decorations to make your Christmas tree look fantastic. Another integral part of Christmas is the shopping, which is also supposed to be enjoyed by everyone because it is so very special during this festive season. People flock to the stores in dozens
to ensure they are not missing out on the ultimate shopping fun in Kamloops — be it searching for the latest movies, books and other collectibles you can gift your loved ones during Christmas. Of course, no Christmas is complete without Santa Claus, who is the true spirit
and symbol of this amazing, larger-thanlife celebration. The very concept of Santa Claus has taken on new dimensions since his visual imagery was created by a German cartoonist. Since then, the entire concept of Santa Claus has taken off in a fantastic way and
people absolutely love the big guy who comes all the way from North Pole to hand out gifts. Santa has become a favourite subject for all movies, songs and other works of literature, which has made him even more in demand. The best way to celebrate Christmas is to experience it in the best
possible way. Make sure you have a hearty meal laid out for yourself and your family. Christmas is all about celebrating and doing it the right possible way. Do make it a point to spend a lot of time with your family and ensure you have an
extremely fun time. Do take a break from work and indulge in the long drawn-out period of festivity. This is the time when you unwind and make sure you do things differently than what you experience usually. Christmas is also about exchanging plenty of gifts and using plenty of Christmas decorations. So, make sure to spruce up your yuletide celebrations in the best way possible. Bake some tantalizing fruitcake along with plenty of hot chocolate. You must also get plenty of candy canes around the house and stock up on other such goodies to get into the best Christmas spirit possible.
We just want to say,
Thank You!

T
HE CHRISTMAS TREE IS A STRONG SYMBOL OF CHRISTMAS.
It serves as the family’s centre of attention. In fact, it is the centre of most Christmas ceremonies all over the world. Christmas is about traditions and memories and symmetric and beautifully decorated Christmas trees are something the entire family will always value and remember. Every year, millions in North America celebrate Christmas with Christmas trees; thus, the scent of a freshly cut Christmas tree enlivens the Christmas spirit in homes from coast to coast to coast. Christmas trees have a long and exciting history. During the pre-Christian era, people and tribes often had holy groves and trees, where they sacrificed to the gods. The trees were most often oak or ash and they symbolized a connection between heaven and earth. Similar ideas are found in the Old Testament — trees symbolized wisdom and life. In the 15th and 16th centuries, German tradesmen began to hold parties where a spruce was placed inside a home. Another story tells of how the German theologian and reformer, Martin Luther, put candles on the leaves as symbols of the stars twinkling among the forest’s trees. In the 17th century, the tradition of decorated Christmas trees in connection with festivities spread out to the German towns and, from there, to other parts of Europe. Even though the first Christmas tree in North America can be traced all the way back to 1777, Christmas trees did not become popular on the continent until the middle of the 18th century. An image of the English royal family standing in front of a Christmas tree was copied and brought to the U.S. in 1850. This resulted in the North American upper classes embracing the Christmas tree In the following decades, the tradition of Christmas trees in living rooms became popular among the rest of the population.

Marina set for summer The Marina at Tobiano now has 220 boat slips available for summer reservation. “Just one afternoon on vast Kamloops Lake and you’ll wonder why you haven’t been boating here for years. We couldn’t be more pleased,” said Quentin Granger, general manager of Kamlands Holdings. The marina basin, sheltered by two 500-foot breakwaters, has also incorporated a fully functioning observation deck, fuel dock and boat launch. In previous years, the shortage of boat launches and access points along Kamloops lake has created significantly less demand for boaters. However, with the marina now being fully operational, Granger said Tobiano has filled a key gap in the market for boating and water sports. For more information about reserving boat slips, call operations manager Kayla Matusiak at 250-8192180 or email at kayla@tobianomarina.com. Pricing for boat slips and rentals is available online at tobianomarina.com.
Snow Angels program looking for a few good shovellers The Snow Angels program is back and ready to help seniors with snow removal from their driveways and sidewalks. The program’s goal is to support seniors to continue to live independently in their own home for as long as possible. The Snow Angel program is headed by the Seniors Outreach Society (SOS) and works closely with the City of Kamloops
for volunteer recruitment. Last year, the Seniors Outreach Society Snow Angel volunteers assisted more than 170 seniors in Kamloops with snow removal services. In 2012, a number of Sahali, Aberdeen, Dallas and some North Shore neighbourhood residents were unable to access the program due to lack of volunteer support in these areas.
SOS is asking for Kamloops residents in these areas to help fill this gap. To become a volunteer, call Harjeet Dhaliwal at 250-8280600 or email harjeet@kamseniorsoutreach.ca. Volunteers will be matched with seniors who live in the same area, though volunteers who can help outside their neighbourhood are welcome.
Lumiere Lantern Parade lights up the night tonight The Kamloops Arts Council’s Lumiere Lantern Parade takes place tonight (Nov. 28). The parade is slated to begin at 6:15 p.m. at Lansdowne Village. Participants and lanterns will march to Stuart Wood elementa-
ry for prizes and entertainment, culminating in the lighting of the St. Andrews on the Square Christmas tree at 7:15 p.m. The first-place lantern will win $100. There will also be a prize for the best lantern created by a Thompson Rivers University student. There is no charge for the workshops or the parade.

LOCAL NEWS COPS GET THEIR, ER, REPORTER Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller (right) came dressed for a roundup for the third annual Jail and Bail fundraising event organized and run by local police for the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo. And, lucky for him, he had his lasso handy when KTW reporter Dale Bass, who had been cooling her heels in the makeshift cell for about two hours, made a break for it. Mueller and other officers and auxiliary officers gave chase, catching her in the parking lot of the Tournament Capital Centre, where the event was being held. The goal this year was to raise $40,000 for the United Way campaign, an amount that was reached before noon, thanks to high-profile “criminals” including Kent Wong, Terry Lowe, Trevor Meade, Mayor Peter Milobar and dozens more. The annual United Way campaign goal is $2 million. Amy Berard photo
DAVID (DAVE) ALAN DELEEUW November 25, 1945 – November 21, 2013 Dave passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by the love of his family and his faithful dog “Buddy” after a year long battle with cancer, four days short of his 68th birthday. Dave is deeply loved and will be terribly missed by his wife Roberta, children and grandchildren: Frank (Wendy), Zander (Leah), Avienda, Leeland; Jason (Corrine), Soren, Tristan, Remi, Emma; Jodymae (Bruce) Brown, Faraon, Katey-Mae; Arlana (Kasey) Phillips, Kord, Peri; Lora (Darryl) Higgins, Alana, Emalee, Aubree; Lynnaea (Scott) Rawlings, Elsie, Gage, Tess; Rhonda (Tyler) Buchanan, Easton; step-mom Jean DeLeeuw, siblings Joe (Barb), Darlene (Joe) Walker , Mike, Pat, Esther (Lee) Sprague, sister-in-law Lyn (Doug) Halliday, Uncle Oliver Phelps, many special nieces, nephews, cousins and bushels of friends. He will be sadly missed by all the Gowans family who embraced Dave into their large family and Dave reciprocated. Dave is predeceased by his father Hilbert, mother Ethel (Phelps) Burman, brother John DeLeeuw and cousin Larry DeLeeuw. He was raised on DeLeeuw Ranch in Rose Hill and attended Rose Hill School when the means of travel was by foot, on horseback or by ski in the winter. Dave also attended St. Mary’s in Edmonton and John Peterson Junior Secondary. At age 14 Dave headed out in the work force and was employed by Joe Frolek Sawmill, Fred Stocking Ranch, The Basque Ranch, Haney Motors and the Gang Ranch. He married Wanda (Ward) and they welcomed his first son Frank. Dave took his John Deere farm equipment apprenticeship at Stan Steele, worked for Dearborn Tractor and started his own mechanical repair services at Cherry Creek, D & D Mechanical Services. Dave and his second wife Bev (Veach) operated Wells Gray Auto Service in Clearwater providing mechanical repair services along with retailing fuel, tires, and operating tow truck services. About this time he became obsessed with waterskiing so much so that in the winter Dave would travel to southern BC and over the US border to find bodies of unfrozen water. Dave was also a snowmobile enthusiast and became the Yamaha Dealer of snowmobiles and motorbikes in town. On one snowmobile trip he accidently drove his snowmobile off Raft Mountain and fell 2000 feet. By some miracle Dave survived the 20 below temperature for the 12 hours it took his brother John to orchestrate his rescue, but he sustained such severe injuries he suffered the effects for the remainder of his life. Without enough danger in his life, Dave built his own trike called the Streaker and used it to speed up his trips into Kamloops for supplies. Dave traded the Service Station for a paving company and operated Big Country Paving for a time until he returned to Kamloops and began working for Frolek Cattle Company as their mechanic where he remained for over 25 years until his retirement. On his return to Kamloops and drawn by childhood memories of the scent of the wild roses, Dave chose his favorite site on the bottom corner of DeLeeuw Ranch to build his home and a mechanical shop where he operated Dave DeLeeuw Equipment Services. During these busy years Dave and Bev were also blessed with son Jason and daughter Jodymae. Other special children in Dave’s life were Robbie and James Clark. Dave was re-acquainted with highschool sweetheart Roberta (Gowans) in 2000 and together they enjoyed a fabulous fishing trip to Langara, an Alaskan cruise with the Gowans clan and a wonderful vacation in Maui as well as many, many fishing and camping trips in BC. They had so many good years enjoying their children, grandchildren, fishing, camping, dancing, friends and wine! Dave was born with music in his bones and was an accomplished pianist, singer and guitar player. He performed for many dances (sometimes with brother John) including the Provincial Bull Sale dance. Chunky Woodward was so impressed with his musical ability he offered to sponsor Dave and send him to Nashville. Dave completed his mechanical training so quickly and with such high marks that he was offered a lucrative position with John Deere in Dubuque, France. Both offers were declined. Dave was always a passionate fisherman, an accomplished hunter, enjoyed scuba diving and absolutely loved to dance. In earlier years he enjoyed flying with his Uncle Andre. Dave believed the measurement of a man’s wealth was in the number of friends he had. He was deeply spiritual, passionate about life and sentimental to a fault. Nothing would make his “eyes leak” more than giving a good gift, receiving any kind of gift or watching a sad movie. No amount of time on earth would have been enough. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, November 30, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at Calvary Temple with Pastor Don Maione officiating. The family would appreciate donations to any charity, especially Royal Inland Hospital Cancer Ward, or Vancouver Children’s Hospital Renal Ward. The family would like to thank the wonderful nurses in the Cancer Clinic, the ER nurses and doctors, Dr Proctor, Dr. van Heerden and especially Dave’s special angel Dr. Du Preez.

Emma often said her Mediterranean blood was not meant for the cold winters and spent those months indoors knitting, sewing, reading, and praying for spring. She was an over-protective mother and grandmother and looked forward to the month long summer visits from her grandchildren whom she loved and adored. Religion played a key role in her life and she was a long time member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Kamloops and a 50+ year member of the Catholic Women`s League. She continued to support il Santuario della Madonna di Catelmonte as well as il Monastero Santa Rita da Casca in Italy until the time of her passing.

A Celebration of Life to be announced at a later date.
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. To know Nella was to love her. Her kindness, generosity, and compassion towards others touched everyone she met. Born in Grimaldi, Italy on February 20th 1934, Nella immigrated to Kamloops with her two oldest children Teresa and Ferro, to join her husband, Attilio in 1960 Although orphaned as a young girl who grew up without a mother, Nella was exemplary in her role as a mother , always loving her children without limitations and placing their needs well before her own. Her sense of humour, story- telling, affectionate nature, and love of family will be her legacy. Mom was a two time cancer survivor , successfully battling Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma and breast cancer . Sadly this August she was diagnosed with a brain tumour , an aggressive form, one that not even her tenacious nature could overcome. Mom will always live in our hearts and not a day will pass without her memory bringing a smile to our lips and a tear to our eyes. Nella is survived by her loving husband Attilio of 61 years, and will live forever in the heart and souls of her six children,13 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Ferro(Sandra, Dion, Tyler, and Deidre), Teresa(Zoltan, Natalie, Vanessa, Cailin, Kendra, Deklan), Mario (Marie-Ellen, Sasha), Gino(Lisa, Quinton, Bryce),Maria(Brent, Rachel,Reid),Raffelina(Daryl, Jared, Tyson, Ryan) Nella was predeceased by her parents, Vincenzo and Raffelina Marrelli, and her first born child Battista, as well as her brothers Giovanni, Antonio, Alberto, Faustino, and Emilio. She is survived by her 3 sisters, Teresa, Rosetta, Maria and brother Frank, as well as numerous nephews and nieces. Prayers will be recited on Sunday December 1st, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. The Reverend Father Peter Nguyen will celebrate the Mass of Christian Burial at the Church on Monday December 2nd , 2013 at 11:a.m. Entombment will follow at Sage Valley Mausoleum.

Advanced or asinine? Opinions vary on use of analytics in junior hockey By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
W
HEN IT comes to advanced analysis in major-junior hockey, the Greyhounds seem to be leading the pack, Ottawa is anything but sixes and sevens on the subject and the Blazers, like most Canadian Hockey League franchises, aren’t yet burning up with fancy-stat fever. The growing trend of using advanced statistics — such as Corsi and Fenwick numbers, which aim to measure offensive-zone time and possession — to break down performance and project the future has ignited a fiery debate across the National Hockey League landscape, much like the one that flared up on the Major League Baseball scene in 2003, when Moneyball was released. While the argument — which has become particularly heated online and on Twitter — has not yet reached its boiling point in the junior-hockey world, advanced statistics are already being used and there are differing opinions on the matter. Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds general manager Kyle Dubas is convinced his team has gained a competitive advantage by using
fancy stats — in fact, the 27-year-old GM (he turns 28 on Friday, Nov. 29) lobbied team owners to hire a full-time advanced statistician. Tyson Enfield was named the Greyhounds’ manager of ticket sales and advanced analytics prior to the 2012-2013 Ontario Hockey League campaign. “There’s Corsi and Fenwick, but there’s much more beneath the surface than those that can help out and I don’t want to totally expose all those because I think it’s advantageous for us,” said Dubas, who took the Greyhounds’ reins at 25, becoming the second-youngest GM in league history. “We’re just trying to learn, trying to give ourselves more information about how the game actually works and how the outcomes of the games are influenced by various events — individually and in a cumulative manner.” Studying analytics is a tall task in the CHL, where there aren’t nearly as many stats kept as there are in the NHL, but the Greyhounds have made it work. “We’ve had to build different software and mechanisms to start tracking stats and we’re trying to build our own models and not just take what’s accepted as being predictors and indicators of team success,” said Dubas, whose squad
sits second in the OHL’s Western Conference after 24 games. The Greyhounds use an intern on game nights to help Enfield crunch the numbers. Dubas noted the Ontario league doesn’t keep track of who takes shots, nor does it record individual ice time — both stats are essential to feeding the club’s metrics.

James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail began reading about advanced statistics about a decade ago and the Kamloops product is now using them in his journalism work. “I’ve always been an avid reader of everything that’s out there written about hockey online and in all the blogs and I was part of that community originally, and that’s really where the advanced stats first started,” said Mirtle, who covers the Toronto Maple Leafs. “They were hobbyists and people running

their own websites that started this kind of thing and it wasn’t until 2007-2008, in that NHL season, that Gabriel Desjardins started putting some of the numbers on his site, behindthenet.ca, and that really started things in earnest. “That’s when things like the possession stats and some of these numbers really entered the lexicon for hockey fans that were really paying attention to this kind of thing.” That fancy stats came to fruition online and on blogs is a problem for many in the hockey community — and it’s ammunition for the antianalytics camp. “That’s part of the reason why some people discount it,” Dubas said. “You constantly hear it when people are slandering analytics — ‘It’s people in their mother’s basement’ — and that’s an interesting way to look at it. I think that’s a silly way to operate. “To be honest, if you go through those blogs every day, you can learn something fascinating and it’s almost like getting a degree in that sort of stuff for free, which is incredible. But, I get why others are skeptical. That’s their choice.” Not every selfpublished hockey writer is producing worthwhile fancy-stat fodder. “Approaching any of this stuff with skepti-

cism is probably the right way to go until you actually see it working because there’s a lot of numbers and a lot of statistics that don’t work properly,” Mirtle said. “Some of it’s quality and a lot of it is not. A lot of it is garbage. Over the years, the stuff that is quality has gained an audience.” X See HUNCHAK A28

Hunchak: ‘When it comes to Moneyball-type stats, I don’t think it can apply to junior hockey’ For Dubas and the Greyhounds, it’s not about moulding the club’s philosophy around these new numbers — it’s about capitalizing on any edge they might provide. The Ottawa 67’s are the latest major-junior squad to invest in analytics, hiring Trent University economics student Matt Pfeffer prior to the 2013-2014 campaign. He is the club’s resident sabermetrician — a term coined originally for someone who specializes in the computerized measurement of baseball stats (saber: Society for American Baseball Research). “It gives the 67’s a slight edge, a little more information that teams don’t have,” Pfeffer told Neate Sager, who writes for Yahoo Canada Sports. “That’s just what I try to do, have information that other teams don’t.” Ottawa is eighth in the OHL’s Western Conference. For every Dubas, there is likely a whole fleet of GMs in the CHL who are not buying into advanced statistics. It’s the same in the pro ranks. Said Mirtle: “I was at a sports conference and Dave Nonis, the Leafs’ GM, spoke there and basically came out and said, ‘We don’t see any value in analytics. We have a large budget that we’re able to dedicate toward analytics, but we often don’t even use it at all.’ “I don’t think that they’ve looked into this close enough.” Mirtle added. “I’ve been writing about this in the paper and I can tell the Leafs have read some of the stuff and it just seems to me they’re dismissing it out of hand, in part because I think they don’t like some of the conclusions that it has about their hockey team.” Kamloops GM Craig Bonner does not care to comment on advanced statistics — not because he is against them, but because he is unfamiliar with Corsi, Fenwick or
any other analytics system. Kamloops head coach Dave Hunchak, meanwhile, does not see their value in the WHL. “We’re asking scouts to identify 14-year-old kids for the draft and a kid might be 5-foot-6 and put up 160 points in bantam hockey, yet when he gets to us, he could be 6-foot-2 and still developing,” Hunchak said. He explained the revolvingdoor nature of a junior-hockey roster renders advanced statistics ineffective. “Most teams in the NHL have their core signed and their base players signed and their elite guys that they’ve drafted and developed — and now you take a look at the numbers and you try to plug holes,” Hunchak said. “That’s where free agency comes in . . . in hope that they produce certain numbers to support the core group. “When it comes to Moneyballtype stats, I don’t think it can apply to junior hockey.” The Blazers do keep more than just traditional stats, making note of individual battles won and lost and scoring chances — real-time stats, as they’re referred to by Hunchak. There are no plans in the works on Mark Recchi Way to hire an advanced-stats intern or a fulltime analytics specialist. “Paralysis by analysis is a common phrase that we use,” Hunchak said. “[Blazer associate coach] Mark Ferner and I will watch hours and hours of video and, in reality, you already know what the issues are. “At the end of the day, when you’re dealing with human beings,
you’re still dealing with the personalities and the players and that’s the most important thing.” Neither Mirtle nor Dubas envision the use of analytics by NHL or CHL clubs becoming commonplace any time soon. “They’re in their infancy in hockey,” Mirtle said. “This is the very, very beginning. “I think it’s probably going to be 10 or 15 years before we can say that every team in the NHL is using something like this or something even more advanced, but it’s happening. “Two years ago, hardly anyone was talking about this kind of thing. This season, I get asked about it all the time. “There’s a huge appetite from hockey fans and there’s a growing appetite in the NHL. “As younger people get in to be GMs, as more people become hockey executives that didn’t play in the NHL and have more of a new-school kind of thinking, it will become much, much more popular.” Dubas represents that new school. “If you’re stubborn and you believe one thing works and one thing only and that’s the way it’s been your whole life and it’s never going to change, then you’re always that way, you could be 20 years old or 70,” he said. “And I think there’s other people, and I’d hopefully be classified in this, we’re always trying to learn and never discount anything regardless of how foreign the concept might be, to see whether or not there might be something to it that can help
us be better managers and a better hockey program and better at scouting and developing players. “People will always doubt it. “I look at it as every piece of information is valuable, as long as you have it in the proper context and you’re willing to invest yourself in it.”

cent of the time, their average finish in the standings is 101 points. “Conversely, teams that are below 48 per cent in that number are 80-point teams. That’s a huge swing. “Amazingly, the statistics are very, very accurate and are good at predicting future outcomes for teams and teams that are good at that, at directing more shots on net than are directed on their own net, they do very, very well.”

Blazers ship Macklin to Prince George in exchange for familiar face, Bolduc By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops Blazers want to breathe life back into forward Carson Bolduc, who was acquired in a trade with the Prince George Cougars on Tuesday, Nov. 26. Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner sent 18-year-old forward Aaron Macklin to the Cats in exchange for Bolduc, a 17-yearold Salmon Arm product who played with one of the most successful bantam team’s
in Kamloops Minor Hockey Association history — the 20102011 tier 1 Jardine’s Blazers. “His first couple years in the league [WHL] have just been alright,” Bonner told KTW on Monday, “but we wanted to bring in a guy who had a lot of skill in bantam and put up some numbers. “We hope we can get him back to that kind of form.” In the 2010-2011 campaign, Bolduc racked up 54 goals and 98 points in 61 regularseason tilts with the

Major Bantam Hockey Tournament, the John Reid Memorial Bantam Hockey Tournament in St. Albert, Alta., the Randy Lindros
Memorial Tournament in the Tournament Capital and the Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament. Prince George drafted Bolduc 59th overall in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft — but the six-foot, 190-pound forward has failed to find his stride in the Dub, recording five goals, nine points and a minus-17 rating in 77 WHL games. Macklin played in 87 regular-season tilts in two seasons with the Blue and Orange, posting 11 points, four
of them goals. He, too, was minus-17 during that time. The six-foot-two, 193-pound forward — who does fight and is effective when he uses his sizeable frame — scored three goals in 13 playoff games last season with the Blazers. “With us bringing in Luke Harrison, a bigger-body guy in that 18-year-old age group, we thought it was a good deal for us and Macklin was the guy we decided to move out,” said Bonner, who sent a sixth-round draft pick in 2014 to

Black Friday
THE ORIGINS OF BLACK FRIDAY black B friday sale LACK FRIDAY is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States — though its shopping focus as spread beyond American borders.
Black Friday is often regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. The large population centres near the border in Ontario and southwest B.C. have always been influenced by Black Friday sales in the U.S. Starting in 2008 and 2009, due to the parity of the Canadian dollar compared with the American dollar, several major Canadian retailers ran Black Friday deals as their own to discourage shoppers from leaving Canada. The year 2012 saw the biggest Black Friday to date in Canada, as Canadian retailers embraced it more fully. In recent years, most major retailers have opened extremely early and offered promotional sales to kick off the holiday shopping season, similar to Boxing Day sales in Canada.
It has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year in the U.S. since 2005. The day’s name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. An alternative explanation was later made — that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss from January through November and “Black Friday” indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or find themselves “in the black.” For many years, it was common for retailers to open at 6 a.m. but, in the late 2000s, many started opening at 4 a.m. This was taken to a new extreme in 2011, when several retailers in the United States opened at midnight for the first time. Canadian retailers, including those in Kamloops, have embraced Black Friday as a day to offer deals while kicking off the Christmasshopping season.

Black Friday Don’t forget to shop local this holiday season Preparing for the holiday season is often associated with gift lists, bargain hunting and potentially crowded or stressful shopping experiences searching for the perfect gift. This year, try exploring your local businesses for unique items and make local purchases to help support neighbourhood businesses during a season that sees a lot of consumer dollars crossing the border or disappearing online with retailers around the world. “Shopping off the beaten path in one of your neighbourhood stores can be a much calmer experience during the holiday shopping season,” said François Ramsay, senior vice-president of corporate affairs for Yellow Pages Group. “Additionally, every purchase you make at a local business has a direct impact on the surrounding neighbourhood and the local economy, strengthening it and helping create sustainability and growth in our communities.” Among the positive impacts of local shopping are:
• Job creation: Small businesses are the largest group of employers in the country. • Local impact: Dollars spent within the neighbourhood directly benefit the local economy and tend to be re-invested within the community. • Neighbourhood prosperity: The presence and success of small businesses play key roles in giving communities their identities and also influence neighbourhood desirability and growth. • Customer service: Independent retailers often personalized service, making shopping a less stressful and more meaningful experience. Holiday sales typically make up a considerable amount of retailers’ annual sales. So, help support your favourite local store or service this holiday season by supplementing or completing your holiday gift list purchases locally. newscanada.com

Black Friday BLACK Black Friday shopping tips After the U.S. Thanksgiving (which is today, Nov. 28), many consumers start hunting for Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping deals. The Better Business Bureau and Consumer Protection BC are advising consumers to be aware all deals may not be created equal and to read the fine print. Before you head out the door or buy online for an unbelievable deal, consider the following tips:
Prepare yourself Research where the sales are and make a list of your gift priorities to compare prices and plan your day of deals. It’s best to bring any ads with you in case the price is not what you expected. If you are shopping online for Cyber Monday deals, do your homework in advance on the websites from which you plan on buying.
Shop with trust Don’t jump at the first deal you see. Research the company, know how long they’ve been in business, look into their customer-service track record and check them out online at mbc.bbb.org. When shopping online, make sure the website you shop from is safe.
If the site is secure, its web address should start with “https://.” You also may see a picture of a small closed lock in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.

Know the return and exchange policies All bets can change for Black Friday deals, which means the store policies can change, too. Make sure you know what the return and exchange policy is for your Black Friday special and whether a return is even possible. Final sales, a very short return window (such as before Dec. 25) or in-store/online only credit could leave you with a deal gone wrong. Additionally, when shopping online, look for shipping fees, which may be free with purchase, but not free on returns.
Read the fine print When buying online, find out what currency you are paying in — American or Canadian dollars. If you are ordering from the United States you may also have to pay duty on items. If you are shopping for Christmas gifts, check the delivery dates as retailers get very busy this time of year.

‘Focus on always learning’ By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
he road can be long for a musician who doesn’t have the big label behind him, the Billboard Top 40 recordings — but who simply believes in music. Wil Mimnaugh spends a lot of time on that road but, this week, at least, he knows his drive to Kamloops will end in a living room — even though, once he gets settled, he’ll be expected to perform. The Quebec-born, Vancouver Island-based roots-rock singer has hopped into a thriving living room-concert scene — one that gives artists who might otherwise have trouble finding a venue a chance to share their music with likeminded people. Mimnaugh — he’s known professionally as Wil — said he was much destined to be a singer/songwriter, growing up in a home full of music. Dad played the guitar, mom was in the church choir and Friday nights were times when his parents and friends would get together and jam. He grew up listening to a lot of country — Johnny Cash, Chet Atkins and Hank Williams — and would spend hours honing what would eventually become his craft on his dad’s Yamaki. One Christmas morning, an 18-year-old Mimnaugh was greeted with his own Fender acoustic guitar and the road was set. He said he honed his craft as many do, playing anywhere he could, doing covers of folks like Nirvana, Jeff Buckley and Radiohead when he decided it was time for some of his own music. In 2002, his debut album Both Hands sold 6,000 copies — most at the merchandise table at those nightly gigs — and led to three Western Canadian Music Award nominations, including producer and best live act. After that splash of attention, Mimnaugh found himself touring with Colin James, Xavier Rudd, Matthew Good and others. A highlight for him was playing with Jann Arden in Toronto’s venerable Massey Hall. “You have to be able to adapt to any environment if you want to stay working,” he said. “And, you know, it’s a funny existence. You have to pay attention to what you’re doing. “There’s so much obsession on YouTube hits or if you can get on Letterman. I focus on always learning and playing any show in any condition.” That’s why setting up in a living room — ven-
ues on these tours don’t advertise their location to avoid getting overcrowded — won’t be problem. In fact, he said, he relishes the intimate atmosphere they create, an environment worlds away from a bar gig where everyone keeps on talking. Mimnaugh’s a big believer in keeping the music going because “the more you do it, the better you get at it.” He listens to others of a similar ilk, names that might not be internationally known but who are solid performers with a strong body of work — people like Will Oldham, often called an Appalachian post-punk solipsist, and Bill Callahan, an American singer-songwriter who performs under the name Smog. Mimnaugh’s song Roam was chosen for an award-winning advertisement campaign for Travel Alberta and the video for it won the diamond award at an awards competition for travel and tourism industry in Berlin last year. His song Ride was commissioned to be the theme for the Calgary Stampede’s 100th anniversary — Mimnaugh considers himself a Calgary boy, having spent many of his formative years living there — and he’s working on a fifth album. He’s been touring since October to promote his Live at the Ironwood recording that was released last month, saying his day-to-day existence right now is to get into the car with his wife, “driving, being on time and putting on a good show.” Tickets for his Kamloops show on Friday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. are $18 plus tax in advance and $25 at the door. For more information, phone 250-3205361. • Rick Scott is also doing a house concert in Kamloops today (Thursday, Nov. 28). Scott, an award-winning singer, songwriter, storyteller and actor — and a dulcimer pro, as well — is considered a pioneer in Canadian root music.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Charlene Lau holds a teapot similar to the ones she will have on display at an upcoming show. The Clearwater artist made five teapots and five matching paintings for the show, which is running Nov. 19 to Dec. 19 at the Wilson House Gallery on Tranquille Road.
Clearwater artist showing works at North Shore gallery Clearwater artist Charlene Lau is having a month-long art show at the Wilson House Gallery. Lau will be showing five free-form teapots and five matching paintings at the event. All but one pair are based on locations in the North Thompson Valley. “This work is the beginning of a study and exploration of the wilderness on my doorstep,” she said. “Moving back to some of my earlier roots as an artist, this summer I carried oil
Mauve Friday is Coming. paints and a panel box out of doors and spent small bursts of time rediscovering my relationship to the world around me with paint.” “From these initial portraits I created a small series of porcelain teapots intended to reflect my developing relationship with the wild places around me. “The art of brewing tea, and even the art of sitting down to share unhurriedly with a friend, seem to be less prominent aspects of day-to-day living in an increasingly frenzied and frenetic world.”
Lau earned her BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design before completing a degree in education at the University of British Columbia. She is highly involved in promoting arts and culture in the North Thompson Valley through the local arts council and Wells Gray Gallery, an artist-run gallery located in the Wells Gray Infocentre. The show at the Wilson House Gallery on Tranquille Road runs until Dec. 19. Hours at the gallery are 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

COMMUNITY
Santa Claus will lead big parade this weekend That’s right — the Jolly Old Elf will be making his annual visit to downtown Kamloops on Saturday, Nov. 30. Despite his incredibly busy schedule, Santa Claus has once again accepted the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s invitation and will be the focal point of the Santa Claus Parade.
This year, the parade’s theme is The 4 R’s of Christmas — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rudolph! Being as St. Nick will be tuckered out from appearing in so many pre-Christmas parades, kids will be required to wake up Santa in Kamloops Square (at Seymour Street and Second Avenue) at 10:30 a.m. From there, the
rosy-cheeked one will join his elves and jump on his sleigh, which will be led down Victoria Street and through the downtown core from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Those wishing to catch a glimpse of Santa can find a spot anywhere on Victoria Street between Second and Sixth avenues. • Meanwhile, for those who can-
not wait to get into the Christmas spirit, the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, at 7 Seymour Street W., is the place to be this month. Until Saturday, Nov. 30, Holiday Magic can be found at
the centre in the form of one-of-a-kind gifts, all made by local artists. Holiday Magic runs today (Nov. 28) and Friday, Nov. 29, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

He came across a beautiful timber wolf at the B.C. Wildlife Park and, outside the east Kamloops park, a female downy woodpecker, a hardy horse enjoying the fresh air and ice crystals on berries. The coming weekend will be much warmer than the frigid conditions we have experienced in the last couple of weeks, with highs of 2 C and lows of -3 C through Monday, Dec. 2. Allen Douglas photos/KTW

Beware the ghost of chickenpox past By Amanda Boehm SPECIAL TO KTW editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
D
ID YOU KNOW shingles is the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a type of herpes virus, that causes chickenpox? Shingles is an extremely painful condition characterized by open sores and a rash that occurs on one side of the body. Once a person is infected with VZV, the virus permanently settles into nerve heads called the sensory ganglia. As a person ages, the effectiveness of their immune system decreases and this virus re-activates to cause shingles. The highly painful rash lasts between two and three weeks and gradually scabs over within seven to 10 days of occurring, becoming non-infectious. It is important to note that a person with open shingles sores can give chickenpox to children or adults who have not had chickenpox or who have not been vaccinated. Twenty per cent of patients suffer from shingles pain that can last longer than three months — a con-
dition called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Unfortunately, shingles is recurrent and the severity and pain of each flare-up increases with age. Shingles is a deeply painful and potentially dangerous condition, so it is not surprising Zostavax, a shingles vaccine, is a hot topic these days. Zostavax costs roughly $190, which is, undeniably, a large initial outlay of funds. Is it worth it? Consider this: In addition to causing severe pain, shingles can also cause scarring, bacterial superinfection, motor-neuron palsies, pneumonia, encephalitis, visual impairment and hearing loss. The approximate lifetime risk of shingles is roughly 30 per cent in the general population. Zostavax is recommended in patients 50 years of age and older to decrease the occurrence of shingles and PHN. Zostavax decreases the risk of shingles by 70 per cent in people between the ages of 50 and 59 of age and 51 per cent in patients over 60 years of age. The vaccine also reduces the incidence of PHN by 67 per cent in
healthy adults over 60 years old. If a shingles outbreak does occur despite vaccination, 75 per cent of patients will experience less pain and approximately one-third of patients will avoid getting PHN. The Zostavax vaccine is well tolerated, with the most common side-effects being redness and tenderness at the site of injection. If shingles does occur, it is important to start oral antiviral medication (acyclovir, famciclovir, or valacyclovir) within 72 hours of the rash appearing. Antiviral medication will decrease the duration in which a person is contagious and has acute pain. It will also reduce the appearance of new lesions and lower the risk of PHN. Topical antivirals are not effective for treatment of shingles. Vaccinations are always a personal choice. It is important to be aware of the pros and cons of every vaccine so that you and your health-care provider can make an informed decision that is right for you. Amanda Boehm is a Pentictonbased pharmacist who writes health-related columns.
This is what shingles can look like. The affliction is painful — but there is a vaccine available.

Logan Lake has achieved another major goal in its strategy to minimize wildfire threats and protect the community from devastating firestorms. FireSmart Canada has honoured the community with a 2013 Community Protection Achievement. To earn the designation, Logan Lake was required to raise public awareness of FireSmart principles, undertake fuel-management projects and teach private-property owners how they can help safeguard their homes and businesses from wildfire. Since 2005, Logan Lake and the Wildfire Management Branch have completed 21 fuel-treatment projects covering 134 hectares, spread over 400 hectares of Crown land. Local crews typically burn 200 piles of brush and wood waste annually, with most of the work being done by hand or through small-scale wood salvaging tenures. FireSmart Canada is part of the Partners in Protection Association and works closely with communities throughout the country to mitigate wildfire risks in interface areas where urban development borders on forest or grassland areas. The District of Logan Lake was one of the first local governments in British Columbia to complete a Community Wildfire Protection Plan, with financial support from the province. Fuel management decreases the risk of wildfire damage by reducing the amount of waste wood, tree needles, underbrush and other flammable material that could fuel a grassland fire or forest fire.

OWN THE OFF-ROAD JEEP SALES EVENT
THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO OWN A LEGEND.
The green choice: ‘14 Accord earns Green Car award After giving heavy consideration to each of the five finalists nominated for the Green Car of the Year program, Green Car Journal named the 2014 Honda Accord winner of its prestigious award for 2014. This award honors the 2014 Accord model in all its iterations, including the Accord, Accord Hybrid, and Accord Plug-In. Honda’s Accord emerged on top of an exceptional field of finalists including the Audi A6 TDI, BMW 328d, Mazda3, and Toyota Corolla. According to Green Car Journal editors, the Accord has evolved in important ways to meet the needs of an increasingly sophisticated and
changing market that seeks everhigher fuel efficiency, lower CO2 emissions, and improved environmental impact, without sacrificing the features and driving experience expected by new car buyers. The 2014 Honda Accord brings notable efficiency with its conventional gasoline powerplants, and now ups its game with highlyefficient Accord Hybrid and Accord Plug-In hybrid choices that achieve up to 50 highway mpg or, in the case of the Plug-In, 115 MPGe, the highest of any mid-size hybrid sedan in the country. Green Car of the Year honors are reserved for production vehicles on sale by Jan. 1 of the award year.

Mazda3 and Stingray honoured as innovators The Motor Press Guild (MPG), the largest automotive media association in North America, has announced the two winners of its 2013 Innovation Vehicle of the Year (IVY) Award. The 2013 Mazda Mazda3 won the under $29,000 USD class and 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray taking the accolade for the $29,000 USD and over category. The announcement was made during the LA Auto Show’s MPG Motoring Invitational Presented by Forza Motorsport 5 and Xbox One. Metroland automotive writer Jim Robinson is the only Canadian member of the MPG. An expert panel of judges, led by committee chairman John Dinkel, evaluated all nominated vehicles
and created a group of 12 finalists. Those vehicles were then voted on by MPG’s journalist and analyst membership, who determined the winners by evaluating each car on innovation, technology, engineering, safety, environmental impact, price, affordability and value. As the winner in the under $29,000 USD category, the Mazda3 was recognized for affordable safety innovations, a refined, compact design, sporty vehicle dynamics and innovative high-compression, high-efficiency fourcylinder gasoline and turbo diesel engines that are a result of the company’s Skyactiv Technology. These combined elements made the Mazda3 a standout competitor in a highly competitive sector.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray’s use of lightweight, high-tech materials, its remarkable fuel economy for a smallblock V8 engine and invigorating design set it apart from other impressive vehicles in the $29,000 USD and over class. The MPG Motoring Invitational Presented by Forza Motorsport 5 and Xbox One was an exclusive morning event that featured more than 60 unique, historic and significant vehicles and celebrated all aspects of Southern California’s car culture, bringing together some of the most interesting automobiles from influential icons, tastemakers, luminaries, collectors and celebrities for press day attendees to enjoy.

The Okanagan Group consists of five dealerships operating as Country RV in Kamloops, Kelowna, and Penticton; Roadmaster RV in Leduc, Alta, and Lacombe RV in Lacombe, Alta. This change marks the end of the Okanagan Group operation that was directed under the ownership of Chris Epp for many years and, more recently, under the direction of James Epp as president of the Okanagan Group and trustee of the Chris Epp Estate. The new locations will expand the presence of the Fraserway Group in the Okanagan and Central Alberta.

LNG exports may lure Asian companies Chinese petrochemical giant Sinopec, another Japanese player and an unidentified Indian company are joining the international move to explore liquefied naturalgas exports from northern B.C., according to Rich Coleman, B.C.’s minister for natural-gas development. Sinopec, ranked the fifth-largest global company in 2011, is looking for LNG imports equivalent to the output of the world’s second-largest LNG terminal, Coleman told reporters as Premier Christy Clark began a trade trip to Asia. Another new player is Idemitsu Kosan Co., the second-largest petroleum refiner in Japan, which is applying for a federal export permit in a partnership with Calgarybased AltaGas called Triton LNG. China National
Overseas Oil Company and its new subsidiary, Nexen, has put up a nonrefundable deposit of $12 million toward purchase of provincial land on the north side of Grassy Point near Prince Rupert, Coleman said.
EN S SE
The new proposals add to a lineup of international investment proposed by Petronas, Chevron, Shell, British Gas and others, which are expected to make final investment decisions in 2014.
Coleman said the tax rate for LNG producers is to be presented to companies by the end of November, but it may not be made public until the B.C. government table its budget in February of 2014.

Searching for answers in natural disasters
O
N A COLD November day three weeks ago, I was overwhelmed as Global scrolled news about the great typhoon hitting Philippines on several fronts. I wish I could distance myself from the accompanying questions raised by the natural disaster on such a gigantic scale. In some ways it is easier for me to address human needs than to process such a disaster theologically — to find the reasons for massive suffering and death. As the death toll rose, questions gnawed at my soul: Why all this meaningless madness of epic proportions? Is God telling us something specific? On one hand, I wish I knew final and definite answers. But, that requires me to be God Himself. Barring such a possi-
NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH bility, I can propose some tentative responses with scriptural and circumstantial warrants. The causes for unexplainable natural disasters are complicated since the perpetrators seem invisible and their purposes incomprehensible, unlike man-made disasters wherein we can identify someone or group to blame. The Bible speaks about God’s judgment on sin through natural disasters. The Flood was directly related to human sin, as was the destruction of
Sodom and Gomorrah. God’s righteousness, in combination with His mercy and goodness, calls for judging sin with restraint. The most radical event in early Earth history was humankind’s fall away from God. The mother-ofall-disasters put Earth under God’s curse and humanity lost immediate, existential relationship to Him. This Earth is not heaven and often feels like hell, for it is groaning, grunting and growling in futility. Our blue planet is still paying for mankind’s original departure from the creator. That fall feature alone comes close to the best biblical explanation for natural cataclysms. Yet, the issue of death’s randomness remains. Why does disasters seem so arbitrary and haphazard? Why are “good” people affected as much as the “bad” ones? And why are some
“bad” people spared? The question of apparent randomness brings us to the demonic factor in executing natural disasters. Whether directly or indirectly, we also factor in Satan’s role in random human suffering and death. Satan defied God’s sovereignty and was cast out of heaven to Earth. Our Earth began to shudder and continues to tremble. That could explain why there are earthquakes occurring almost daily. Only when humans are present do complex natural phenomena — many of them observable to physicists — turn into disaster. If no one died, we would have simply viewed them as natural, even normal, events. Cataclysms only turn into catastrophes when humans are affected. Nature is wobbly, infected and terrorized by Satan.
He has been thrown down from heaven in eternity and toppled on Earth in history. Natural disasters are not “acts of God,” like the insurance industry would describe nature’s fury. They could just as easily be “acts of Satan.” We can underestimate Satan’s power, but anything he does is under the determinative control of God. God’s common grace keeps Earth from complete destruction. The triumph of Lord Jesus over all the principalities and powers at the cross (see Colossians 2:15) prevents it from obliteration. Satan, through natural disasters and other activities, attempts to tear into the Earth. Humanity’s only eternal security and earthly sustenance at the present is the Triune God. One day, after sin refills God’s nostrils and He removes His people, this Earth will destruct.

Satan’s present version of disasters is an “approved-for-all-audiences” preview of what will happen when divine mercy is removed. Until then, planet Earth is suspended between the poles in cosmic warfare. Satan persists in evil activities having obtained, like in the case of Job, clearance from God to afflict the Earth. During the specialized period of divine terror, however, God’s wrath will be unleashed on human sin. When God’s plans for this worn Earth are done, the sovereign creator will create the new Earth, one totally attached to Him. Natural disasters, sadly, provokes mankind’s resistance and defiance of God. Unable to predict and without hope, humanity rebels against the God who could have exercised control of the elements and seemed to choose not
to (cf. Revelation 16:21). Christians can function as watchmen warning people of future disaster and respectfully pleading for the apathetic to awaken and the defiant to become compliant to God’s terms for spiritual salvation (cf. Ezekiel 33:1-6). Added to that, on a temporal level, natural disasters bring out the best in compassion and community. The whole world, united for search and rescue, recovery and aid, relief and development, is fulfillment of God’s mission through human hands. Christians, with their special obligation to love their neighbours and especially to do good to the household of faith (cf. Galatians 6:10), ought to serve in the forefront of relief efforts with unselfish abandon and generosity. narayanmitra@ hotmail.com
